In a recent tutorial, we took a still image file of a world map, and used BCC LED to transform it into a wall of blinking LED lights. Then, we used BCC DVE to spin the image 50 degrees along the Y axis to place it at an angle to the viewer. To continue the effect, we'll take the same image and add a particle filter to make the lights appear as though they are being sprayed onto the wall, creating a blinking and glowing LED map over time.

"Boris Continuum Complete 5 is an exceptional plug-in set for Apple Final Cut Pro and Motion, and I could go on for hours about all the effects and how great they are. The amount of thought that went into this plug-in set is obvious, and Boris is moving this plug-in set forward by leaps and bounds. Don't let the $895 price tag scare you away, as there are a few plug-ins in this set that if you were to buy separately, would almost cost you the same as BCC 5 itself. For all the users of Boris Continuum Complete who haven't upgraded to version five, what are you waiting for, and for everyone else, head on over to www.borisfx.com to download the free demo. You won't be disappointed."

In this new tutorial, we show you how to create a camera pull transition similar to some of the presets found in the Boris Blue Effects Library Browser. In order to achieve the camera pull transition, we're going to use Blue 2's new Target Camera and 3D split views.

New Boris Continuum Complete 5 Tutorial includes 20 Free Apple Final Cut Pro 6 Projects
Quickly design and animate your own unique video backgrounds by combining BCC 5 FxPlug's new Prism filter with your favorite Apple Final Cut Pro Generator...
BCC 5's new Prism filter is typically used to simulate the photographic effect of chromatic aberration in which a bad lens can generate prismatic color fringing along edges of high contrast within an image. This filter is part of the new OpenGL category of BCC filters which benefit from hardware acceleration to reduce render time.
BCC Prism can also be applied to popular generators such as Clouds, Texture, Grid, Gradient, Membrane, and Particles to give them a completely new look. This special new filter can be used with generators from any BCC 5-supported host or even Boris' own generators, but we chose Apple Final Cut Pro 6 because we wanted to show you just how nicely BCC operates within Apple's new FxPlug architecture.

Now available as an Avid AVX plug-in as well as a standalone application
Boris Blue 2 is an Avid AVX plug-in and standalone 3D compositor for Windows XP. Based on the familiar Boris interface, Blue is designed for video editors and compositors who want to create stunning 3D looks without the learning curve and render times associated with 3D applications. Perfect for post facilities with client-supervised sessions or demanding deadlines, Blue uses the latest-generation NVIDIA GPU-based graphics cards to provide an interactive effects design experience. Blue delivers real-time processing of 2D and 3D effects as well as real-time playback of video and audio media. Users can adjust effect parameters during playback, a "front room" capability that is ideal for working side by side with clients. The fast export to disk, including hardware rendered anti-aliasing, motion blur, and 3D shadows, provides significant time savings.
