Video stylization truly took off in the 1980s with the dawn of MTV and music videos from artists like Peter Gabriel. To this day, editors style their photos and videos to add flair, motion, light or color for interest and emphasis.
Sometimes seen as gimmicky, when used selectively and artfully, creative effects (“stylizers” if you will) add a touch of magic.
This is precisely why we’ve created an enormous a big bag of tricks for you in NewBlue Stylizers 3 Ultimate. This premium collection of 250 presets in 23 plugins delivers a wide range of eye-catching video enhancements and creative video effects.
