Red Giant Link
Red Giant Link is a media transfer and connectivity utility designed to link Red Giant plugins and effects within professional video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. It serves as a communication bridge between the video editing host application and Red Giant's suite of visual effects, color correction, and design tools, enabling real-time preview and control of effects parameters. The app was primarily used by video editors and motion graphics professionals working within Adobe's Creative Suite.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionRed Giant Link has been discontinued and is no longer supported by the developer. The application was built for Intel architecture only and there is no native Apple Silicon version. Although the app currently runs under Rosetta 2 emulation, Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027), and the Intel build will stop launching on that release. Since the project is abandoned, no update is coming. If you rely on Red Giant plugins, check whether Red Giant has released native Apple Silicon versions of your specific effects (many of their newer products do ship natively). Alternatively, explore Adobe's native Creative Cloud 2024 or later, which has significantly expanded its built-in effects library, or consider other video effect vendors like Boris FX, Sapphire, or Motion Bro that actively support Apple Silicon. Migrating away from Red Giant Link is advisable before the 2027 deadline.
