New Features
Trapcode Shine version 1.5 features updates to the render engine and new support for a variety of host applications.
Broad Application Support
Trapcode Shine has been modified to run properly with a variety of host applications, including the latest version of Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Apple Motion, Avid Xpress Pro and Media Composer.

Updated Render Engine
Shine now supports full 32-bit floating-point rendering for creating the most realistic light rays. Shine always renders floating-point quality and returns the highest bit depth possible for that host application and sequence or project settings.
Output in 32-bit mode can differ greatly, particularly if bright or overbright colors are specified in the Colorize controls. Here is an example of Shine output in 8-bit versus 32-bit rendering modes. Notice how the floating-point version on the right delivers an optically brighter looking image. The 8- and 16-bit output modes produce visually similar results, but the 16-bit output will look smoother and show little or no banding.
