Red Giant 2025.2.1

Mixkit: Known for its user-friendly interface, Mixkit provides a vast collection of free video assets, including motion graphics and video templates. While they aren't directly from Videohive, they offer a comparable quality that can be integrated into your projects seamlessly.
Videezy: Videezy offers a variety of free and paid video assets, including After Effects templates. Their extensive library is perfect for those looking to enhance their videos without breaking the bank.
Motion Elements: While Motion Elements primarily focuses on premium content, they regularly feature free downloads that include video templates similar to those found on Videohive. Their search interface allows you to filter out the free options easily.
Editor’s Depot: This site provides free editing tools and templates, ensuring you have access to some elements similar to Videohive offerings. Though the selection might not be as vast, it’s a valuable resource for cost-effective production.
Motion Array: With a solid reputation, Motion Array occasionally offers free downloads that replicate some Videohive elements. Subscribing to their newsletter might help you get alerts about any new freebies available.

1. Install Maxon App. (You’ll need to sign in. Just create a Maxon account if you don’t have one.)
2. Block all internet traffic. Either by using Little Snitch, or turning off wifi/ethernet.
3. Install Red Giant plugins.
4. Run the script by:
a. open the Terminal app from Applications/Utilities
b. In the Terminal window type “sudo sh” (remove the quotation marks and use all lower case letters) then press SPACE.
c. drag the script file (maxon_2025.2.1_patch.sh) from Finder into the Terminal window.
d. Press ENTER.
5. MacOS might give you an error that Terminal wants to change an app/program. Follow the prompts to give Terminal access to changing apps/programs. If you get this error, you’ll have to run the script again.
6. Make sure the Maxon app is turned on as a Startup Item in System Preferences. (This should happen automatically.)
7. I don’t know if this will continue to work without Little Snitch blocking the plugin’s internet traffic, so I would probably not do any of this without having Little Snitch installed. But I could be wrong, so please comment if you did this without Little Snitch and it continues to work after a reboot.
