“The Image Restoration group of filters includes the Flicker Fixer. This tool offers a choice of intra-frame analysis or temporal flicker smoothing, allowing you to repair video affected by a flickering light source or uneven shutter exposure. One day this filter will save your life by solving a real-world problem. Here’s an example: I was shooting some footage on a sunny Florida golf course in 20 mph winds. Fast-moving clouds were causing iris problems, so I switched my iris to auto, but that made the footage a bit jumpy as it compensated for the constantly changing light. The BCC Flicker Fixer was able to even out the footage and save the shoot, which more than paid for the whole Boris Continuum Complete filter set.”

Tools include a vectorscope and waveform monitor, for better management of exposure levels and contrast; BCC Film Glow for nice, soft film effects; Flicker Fixer for correcting footage shot under flickery light sources; and 3D lens flares. Add in Stage Light for volumetric lighting effects; Particle Emitter and organic strand generation, and it’s easy to see why Boris Continuum Complete 8 takes the honor as our BEST Post-Production Plug-ins winner.”
