Welcome to BorisFX

FEC AE 7 supports the following host applications:

Mac OSX 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8:

• Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro CS4, CS5, CS5.5, and CS6

Windows 7 64:

• Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro CS4, CS5, CS5.5, and CS6


What's New in FEC AE 7 (Summary of major changes since FEC 6):

• Ten new filters including an array of unique new transitions:

     -Difference Blend

     -Difference Blend Wipe

     -Glow Dissolve

     -Spiral Blur Dissolve

     -Toner Dissolve

     -Threshold Dissolve

     -Threshold RGB Dissolve

     -Turbulence Dissolve

     -Vector Blur Dissolve

     -Water Waves Dissolve

• 32 bit float processing in After Effects.

• AE host mask path integration in five filters providing easy animation along mask paths such as text outlines:

     -Ball Action

     -Glass

     -Glue Gun

     -Hair

     -Mr. Mercury

• The Beat Reactor is now available for many filters in Premiere Pro via the new external audio mechanism.

• Enhanced Motion Tracker workflow allowing easier tracking, especially in Premiere Pro.

• Numerous bug fixes and render quality improvements.



FEC AE 7.0.0 - Known Issues and Limitations:

• As part of the new Motion Tracker workflow, if you change the tracker search width, target width, color space, or accuracy after an initial tracking pass, you must now reset the tracker data with the reset button in the tracker banner before starting a second tracker pass. (This is not necessary if tracker point picker location has changed.)

• Versions of Premiere Pro prior to CS6 have problems getting the correct frame with filters that access layers at alternate times when applied to trimmed clips. Adobe resolved this issue in Premiere Pro CS6 but in prior versions of Premiere Pro you may need to export trimmed sections and reimport them as untrimmed in order for time based features such as the Motion Tracker or Wide Time to work properly.

• Preset banner popup menus do not work in Premiere Pro on Windows. Presets must be loaded with the Load (L) button instead.

• Features that make reference to host cameras, lights, or mask paths are relevant only when running in After Effects and should be ignored in Premiere Pro hosts.

• Stacking multiple FEC filters on a single clip when one of those filters accesses frames at other times can lead to performance degradation or psuedo-hanging. It is recommended that FEC filters which access frames at alternate times should be applied singly.
