After Effects comes with a standard glow plug-in, but it can be challenging to get good results quickly.

Because of that, several 3rd party companies have made their own glow plug-ins for After Effects.

In today's video we are comparing the glow plug-ins:

1. Internal Glow
2. Red Giant Optical Glow
3. Sapphire Glow
4. Deep Glow

In today's video I am going to talk to you about 5 essential plug-ins that every pro motion designer should have in their arsenal.

These plug-ins are essential in my book.

Here are links to the 5 plug-ins:

Overlord Battle Axe
Frischluft Curves
Animation Composer
Red Giant Universe

Today we are talking about plug-ins.

Many motion designers can become hyper focused on the plug-ins when they should instead be focused on the other aspects of motion design.

I get asked a lot.."which plug-in should I use for this and which plug-in should I use for that."

So when should you use plug-ins and when is it best to stay away? That's what we're talking about in today's video.
