46 plugins are divided by function into four categories: FILTER, GENERATE, IMAGE, MATTE

FILTER
a collection of creative and simulated physical filters and processes.
Use simulated physical filters such as Black Mist diffusion, or UV Polarizing filters.
Or simulated film processes such as Bleach Bypass, or 2-strip Technicolor.
Use Skin Smoother to smooth skin blemishes, and Gold Reflector to relight actors.

GENERATE
a collection of image generators to create images within Apple Shake.
Simulate fog and rain. Create star fields. Create ocean texture maps with 3dNoise.
Create light rays and other lighting effects with Volume Light, and more.

IMAGE
a collection of image processors to repair and convert images.
Deinterlacer converts interlaced fields into progressive frames.
FastHD converts Standard Definition images into 720 or 1080 High Definition, and more.

MATTE
a collection of tools to create and manipulate mattes for perfect keying results.
Despill neutralizes green / blue spill. PhyxKeyer keys green / blue screens with precision.
LightWrap realistically blends foreground and background elements for seamless composites.UV Blur smooths blocky chroma artifacts to key subsampled (DV, HDV, AVCHD, etc.) footage.

Our collection of plugins for Shake just got larger, faster, and more powerful.
We have added the new 3d Keyer, and redesigned our popular Deinterlacer to
reconstruct fields into progressive frames.

3dKeyer
Use 3dKeyer to key green / blue screens, or to sample colors for other effects.

Deinterlacer
Deinterlacer now features a Motion-Compensated Reconstruction engine.
Results are far smoother than ‘interpolation’, which cuts vertical resolution in half.
Deinterlacer maintains full vertical resolution in areas of non-motion,
and uses anti-aliasing to reconstruct high-quality results in areas of motion.
