In 2002, Red Giant Software was founded in San Francisco, California.
In 2011 Red Giant funded a project which developed a short film called Plot Device wherein the video filters in their software are tested. Boing Boing cited the project as a clever way to advertise software.[1]
Red Giant's products are mostly plug-ins that aid digital video and film editors.
