What's New in Boris Continuum Complete 8 AVX

Videoscope

A convenient utility for checking color levels at any stage of your project. Simply insert the filter in the desired location and view overlaid scopes in the project window. Ensure broadcast-legal colors of your final output or any individual element of your project. Quickly find out which effect or filter is overstepping the limits!

Film Glow

Create the soft feel of exposed film with this powerful yet very easy-to-use effect. Make your highlights bloom and shadows spread out as you experiment with your own unique looks. Or try one of the professionally-designed presets included with the filter. Use BCC Film Glow to marry two clips shot on different cameras or set the mood for the entire project. It works great on text and logos, too!

Lens Flare 3D

Powered by GPU acceleration, the new 3D Lens Flare effect can be used to create cinematic looks, stylish broadcast design elements, and beautiful transitions. Creates cinematic looks and stylish broadcast design elements.

Beat Reactor Technology

Built into many Boris Continuum Complete filters, Beat Reactor makes it easy to generate audio-driven effects such as a pulsing light, a glow, or even an image wipe that follows along with the beat of an audio track.

New 3D Objects Filters

Extruded Text
BCC Extruded Text is an OpenGL-accelerated 3D text generator with built-in 3D shatters and a warp deformer. Multiple 3D materials can be created from external image files featuring texture and bump maps as well as reflections. Each material can be individually saved as a preset and applied to the front, back, bevel, or extrusion surface of the text object. The text object can be further deformed and animated with a number of innovative deformers such as Bend, Taper, Twist, Shatter, Ripple, Pulse, or Curl.

Extruded EPS
The BCC Extruded EPS filter provides an easy way to import and extrude Adobe Illustrator layered vector logos and graphics in Avid DS. The filter is capable of tracking an EPS file using a Watch Folder, making the EPS file "live" should it be edited in Adobe Illustrator. A handy "Keep EPS Color" feature lets you preserve the original fill colors for each element as a diffuse color option of the material.

Type-On Text
Creating extruded 3D type-on text effects within Avid DS is now a simple process. The BCC Type-On Text filter includes a full-featured title generator that offers control over the leading, tracking, character, and paragraph styles of the 3D text element. Create animated text type-ons that fly in from behind or toward the camera or slide into view from the top, left, bottom, or right of the screen either letter-by-letter, word-by-word, or line-by-line. Use any image or video clip from the timeline to add textures or reflection maps that animate in real-time over the extruded text element.

Extruded Spline
This filter uses state-of-the-art OpenGL technology to generate and extrude built-in primitives such as a medallion or heart. Create 3D extruded objects fully-modeled with bevels and spline-based extrusion profiles.

Layer Deformer
Use the BCC Layer Deformer to generate useful 3D shapes such as planes, cubes, spheres, and cylinders and deform these 3D objects using built-in vertex and pixel shaders. Create a rippling plane shape or a bulging cube that shatters off into a million pieces and use any image or video clip from the timeline to add textures or reflection maps.

Flicker Fixer

Save your flickering shot with this powerful, sophisticated image restoration tool. Based on state-of-the-art research, the underlying engine offers a choice of intra-frame analysis or temporal flicker smoothing. Repair video affected by a flickering light source or uneven shutter exposure. One day this filter will save your life!

Optical Stabilizer

BCC Optical Stabilizer analyzes a shaky clip and adjusts the track's position to compensate. Unlike other stabilizing tools, this filter does not require point trackers. This allows you to stabilize images where tracking data is unreliable. You can also stabilize just a portion of a track to correct isolated camera bumps.

32-Bit Float Support

32-Bit Float Precision Color Rendering is now supported, offering even smoother blurs, glows, and other effects while providing the highest quality final image.
