Boris FX
Integrated Visual Effects, Particles, and Image Processing

The first to offer fully integrated 3D compositing and motion graphics, Boris FX is the industry standard for integrated effects creation in non-linear editing. Boris FX goes beyond 3D DVE into full-blown effects creation. Composite unlimited layers of media and preview compositions with audio using RAM or Disk based playback. Access video directly from the NLE timeline. Boris FX gives editors access to advanced compositing features such as 27 apply modes, motion blur, particles, lighting effects, and displacement mapping. Easily create self-animating natural effects such as snow, rain, fire, clouds, sparks, and comets which can interact with media or video.

Top 10 New Features in Boris FX 6.1

Support for third-party After Effects plug-ins. Once installed, compatible Adobe After Effects plug-ins appear in the Boris FX filters menu, where they can be applied as easily as any other Boris filter. Supported filters include Media 100 Final Effects Complete, DigiEffects Cinelook, and many others that have never previously been available inside nonlinear editing applications.

Audio Import and Playback. Unlimited numbers of both synch and scratch audio tracks are supported. Scrub audio to coordinate effects with music, view waveforms, even animate volume and pan from within FX. There's also an option to play back audio during Preview to RAM.

Natural Filters. Self-animating snow, rain, cloud, star, spark, fire and comet generators offer versatile controls over production, animation, gravity and attraction and collision with other layers - including alpha channels. Natural Filters can act as a filter on a track or generate backgrounds.

Motion Blur. Boris FX provides motion blur to simulate the way that film handles image capture of moving objects. Adaptive Motion Blur is unique to Boris FX: it takes fewer samples when images are moving more slowly, thus reducing rendering times without sacrificing the blur's quality.

Interface improvements. New buttons on the Timeline allow new media tracks and shapes to be applied with a single click. They allow favorite filters (as defined by users in the Preferences) to be applied with one click as well. New Buttons on the Controls window allow one-click application of drop shadows (using the last applied shadow as a starting point), toggle to wireframe view, and the direct selection of the Face track of layers in the timeline. A color/grayscale ramp is also provided to speed color selection.

Light Filters. Boris FX Light filters produce true 3D modeled spotlights that shine on your image. Spotlight allows you to position and aim the light by setting the position and elevation of the synthetic light source in relation to the image plane. These spotlight filters also allow additional layers to function as mattes and gels for the light sources. Edge Lighting lends a 3D look to flat video and still images by applying highlights and shadows to edges in the image. Light Sweep creates a linear beam of light which sweeps over the image. Alpha Spotlight only projects into the image's alpha channel.

3D Image Shatter. Breaks up the source image and disperses the fragments and allows you to adjust all aspects of the particles' movement and appearance. In addition, it contains a set of rotation parameters that enable you to move and rotate the fragments in 3D space. The filter auto-animates to easily create explosion effects, but can be manually animated for more precise control.

Compositing Apply Modes. Blend layers with precision based on their light and color properties. Boris FX offers a number of unique ways to do this. Among these is the animation of compositing modes in a single layer through the "Apply Mix From" setting. Boris FX features 27 modes in all, including: Boost Expo 1 and 2, Boost EQ + and -, Boost Bias, and 50-50 Mix. The Compositing tab also offers several additional controls, such as brightness, contrast,and mix back with original to provide unparalleled flexibility.

Displacement Mapping. Displace an image based on specific properties of a user-definable map image. Boris FX displacement mapping allows you to create sophisticated heat and water effects.

Expanded Keyframe Library. Easy-to-use preset effects feature brand new Boris FX filters, including natural filters.

Heart Generator. Quick way to build hearts to use as graphic elements, as masks and to incorporate into effects.
