Portland, OR (October 24, 2011) - Red Giant announced today the release of Guru Suite, a package of 17 Guru Presets that provides motion designers and filmmakers with a professional, fully customizable starting point for their creative work. Red Giant has partnered with eight industry-leading designers from the motion graphics and VFX community to provide a collection of visual effects presets, film looks, project templates and training videos.

With Guru Suite, users have access to over 200 film looks for Magic Bullet Looks 2, over 100 effect presets for Trapcode Suite, and over 200 After Effects project templates that use Looks, Trapcode and Knoll Light Factory. Customers can also draw inspiration from Red Giant's library of QuickStart videos created by the Guru artists, who contribute decades of creative experience.
