If you haven't seen what the Dark Energy plugin can do yet, here is a quick demo reel that shows just how powerful it is: Luckily for us, Cinnafilm permanently slashed the price yesterday in honor of Einstein's birthday.ĭark Energy for After Effects is now $200, previously $500. The only problem for most of us is that we're not made of money.

Even though that campaign didn't succeed, the Dark Energy AE plugin is still one of the most wildly popular noise reduction/grain emulation tools on the market today. Most notably, Dark Energy played a crucial role in the post-production workflow of Shane Hurlbut's DLSR-shot film Act of Valor. The good people at Cinnafilm also ran a Kickstarter campaign to judge interest in porting the plugin over to the OFX platform (which would have made it compatible with Resolve, Nuke, Avid, and a host of other applications).

We've talked about the Cinnafilm Dark Energy de-noising plugin on several occasions.
