I like that the possibilities are endless with Trapcode. I am able to use trapcode for so many different projects. Trapcode is an expansive plugin suite for the average professional media creator who is looking to expand their horizons and make awesome graphics for whatever project you are working on.

the redgiant effects suite is a great addon for any VFX software, I used it along with the adobe after effects. there are lots of effects and possibilities are limitless, especially I found the tsunami, toonit and the Knoll light factory really useful for my projects. I have tried to color grade my films and other projects a lot of times and nothing even comes close to using the composite Wizard within the Redgiant effects suite and its one of the most popular when coming to editing films in Hollywood. it supports multiple platforms including windows and mac. the support is also really helpful with well-documented videos on the site teaches you how to make the maximum out of their products. the most important thing about the product is that it isn't that costly and anybody in VFX can afford it, they even provide a free trial to test their product prior to purchase.

The Particular plugin is a highly customizable particle effect generator with a TON of options and possibilities. I especially like creating 3D sprites using a transparent image. The physics simulation (gravity, wind, turbulence, etc) is fun to mess around with, and has a lot of variables and customization as well.
