Following in Adobe's footsteps? Very interesting. From the looks of it, no harm signing up for the free membership to check it out.

From the Red Giant blog:

Red Giant Universe is a community that gives members access to fast and powerful free tools for editing, filmmaking, visual effects and motion design.

Every tool in the Universe library of effects and transitions is GPU-accelerated, both Mac and Windows compatible, and works across multiple host applications including: After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X and Motion. The Universe library of tools is continuously growing—new effects and transitions are added regularly, and existing tools are updated often, based on user feedback.

What is the Free membership?
This plan gives you all of the Free tools - for free. Your subscription never runs out, and never costs anything. You can be assured that the free stuff will be backed by our brand for years to come, because Red Giant has been around forever, at least in the non-galactic software universe.

Free is awesome. But our tools aren’t just awesome because they’re free. We're taking old standards, making them new and faster, and updating them for real-time. You will see a distinct performance bump over other plug-ins and in-app filters. Some Free tools produce results that normally require a lot of expertise and work, or are often-requested effects that we can do better.
