As long as the object is moving in relation to the scene, this job can be done in minutes. Boris Continuum Motion Key is based on Optical Flow technology that uses intra-frame data to cleanly remove any moving object.

Final Effects Complete 5 Receives "Award of Superiority"

Wednesday, September 10, 2008



Tom Stern of Microfilmmaker Magazine recently reviewed Final Effects Complete 5 and gave it Microfilmmaker Magazine's Award of Superiority.

Here is an excerpt from the review:

"The Final Effects Complete 5 package of plug-ins is deceptively powerful. It definitely has some uses for filmmaking, especially very artistic scenes in certain genres like Sci-Fi, fantasy, and for some distortedly scary and alienating scenes. It is more directly applicable to event videography, music videos, and advertising freelance work, where the use of motion graphics is more common.

HD is rapidly becoming a requirement for wedding videos and, with digital TV becoming the US standard, high quality effects that can play on HD screens is becoming a practical necessity. If you need to move to 16-bit color for these applications, FEC5 is an obvious package to consider. What puts it over the top are those time-saving presets that make these plug-ins practical for a production environment."
