Boris FX’s Paul Ezzy breaks down the power of BCC Pin Art, an OpenGL-accelerated particle-based 3D generator in the latest episode of Boris TV. This two-fold tutorial shows you not only how to add a “pixel-disintegration” transition (think the pixels from an old-school Atari game) to your footage, but also how to take advantage of the advanced layering and masking techniques available in Avid FX.

Plus, discover how you can quickly view your saved template over different footage with the BCC Effects Library Browser.

Perfect for title sequences, title cards, and segues between clips, Eye Scream Factory’s newest templates give you 100 unique presets based on 37 different animated themes that can be used as is, with the text removed, or mix and matched to create and save your own presets for quick use in future projects.

Available for Avid FX, RED, and Graffiti. (Mac and PC)

Pre-composition is a simple, powerful way to manipulate containers – very useful when compositing in Avid FX or Boris RED.
