    Introducing Carousel for FCP X, our first co-production with Red Giant

    by

    Big news today: We’re releasing Red Giant Carousel, a new vintage camera effects package for Final Cut Pro X. Here it is:



    You can download a free trial version of Carousel here.

    Carousel is our first collaboration with the awesome team at Red Giant – the guys who make Magic Bullet Looks, Mojo, and many other extremely useful tools for Final Cut. We’re super excited to be working with them, and we think you will be very interested in what we have coming for FCP X.

    We had of course watched many tutorials by Red Giant’s Aharon Rabinowitz over the years, so the experience of skyping with the actual Aharon Rabinowitz was a bit surreal. Maybe like watching one of his tutorials while you are very tired or have food poisoning, because you can talk to the screen and Aharon Rabinowitz will talk back. Eventually it became normal (sort of), and we were able to work with Aharon and Harry Frank, who developed the cross-processing and film fading, and sent us a series of unexpected and increasingly disturbing .gifs that did not relate to the project directly.

    We hope you enjoy Carousel. Here’s the official press release.

    CrumplePop Launches Vintage Camera Looks for Final Cut Pro X, Announces Partnership with Red Giant

    by



    Minneapolis, MN (July 18, 2012) – CrumplePop today announced Red Giant Carousel, a beautiful vintage camera film process that can be instantly applied to any Final Cut Pro X project. For creative editors who want to harness the emotive power of plastic cameras and 120 film, Carousel creates uniquely striking images that are useful in a wide variety of films. Carousel is the first product for Final Cut Pro X co-produced by CrumplePop in a new collaboration with Red Giant.

    Carousel combines optical imperfections, vignettes, and color grades from a plastic camera to create a sophisticated effect that can be dropped onto any clip. Once applied, Carousel can be easily fine-tuned to create the perfect mix of film fade, light leaks, and color cross-processing.

    “Working with the team at CrumplePop has been fantastic,” said Aharon Rabinowitz, Red Giant’s director of Communities. “As an artist, I’ve long admired their aesthetic, so when we decided to create something that really captured the feel of footage shot on a vintage camera, we knew we had to work with them. We’re really proud of the end result of both our efforts.”

    “We’re extremely excited to be teaming up with Red Giant,” said Gabriel Cheifetz, co-founder of CrumplePop. “Working with Aharon Rabinowitz and Harry Frank has been a genuine pleasure – they have a big reputation in this industry, and their creativity and nimbleness says a lot about Red Giant as a company. We’ve got some truly extraordinary tools for filmmakers on the way, starting with Red Giant Carousel.”
