What was new in Continuum Complete AVX 4

Version 4 offered major improvements to the award-winning BCC AVX version 3 by building on core technologies such as Optical Flow, OpenGL and motion tracking.

Revised Pixelchooser Spline Masks with Advanced Keyframing

All BCC AVX filters that include the PixelChooser feature have been revised to incorporate Avid's Advanced Keyframing technology, which enables the use of bezier (and other) interpolation between keyframes for smooth motion and other effects.

Corner Pin Filter

The Corner Pin filter lets Avid users map media to a moving object using perspective distortion to a clip. A four point motion tracker automatically pins a clip onto a specific region of another clip.

3D Extruded Image Shatter

The OpenGL-based 3D Extruded Image Shatter filter shatters a clip into three-dimensional particles with adjustable extrusions. The filter provides a variety of explosion, velocity and gravity and auto-animates by default, although you manually animate it for precise control.

Halftone Filter

The Halftone filter simulates the look of traditional offset printed material by converting the image to simulated halftone dots.

Median Filter

The Median filter creates painterly brush style effect by making each pixel look like the majority of its neighboring pixels.

Motion Key

The Motion Key filter is based on proprietary optical flow technology first introduced in BCC AVX's Optical Flow and Motion Blur filters. The Motion Key isolates and removes moving foreground objects from a clip without the need for complex masking or cloning.

Optical Stabilizer

The Optical Stabilizer uses optical flow technology to analyze a shaky clip and then adjusts the track's position to compensate. Unlike many stabilizing tools, the BCC Optical Stabilizer does not require you to set user-defined tracking points. This allows Avid Editors to stabilize images where tracking data is unreliable.You can also stabilize just a portion of a track to correct isolated camera bumps.

Unlike many stabilize effects which only takes horizontal and vertical movement into consideration, the BCC Optical Stabilizer allows Avid users to take motion, rotation and scaling into account when stabilizing.

OpenGL Lighting Filters Now Emanate from Alpha Channels

Avid Editors can now apply the BCC Glint, Glare and Glitter filters to an Avid title or matte and the light emanates from the text. In previous versions the light was constrained to fill the text.

Color Match Filter

The Color Match filter quickly matches the color and luma values from the highlight, midtone and shadow areas of two separate clips.

16 Bit Processing

Most BCC AVX 4 filters feature the option of processing in either 8 bit or 16 bit color for the highest quality result.
