Ease of use features

The BCC package is split into two volumes or sets of filters and each Volume is in turn broken down into 4 categories. The purpose of the categories is to make filter selection easier and faster. For instance, in Volume one, we have the following categories – Colors and Blurs, Effects, Lights, Wipe Transitions. If the operator knows in advance that they are going to need a blur filter, they know that it is contained in the Color and Blurs category, thereby reducing the amount of time and energy spent scrolling through the list of filters to find the Blur filter.

All filters in the BCC product feature multiple inputs – a separate input clip for the front, back and matte, making some compositing chores easy and fast. To achieve the same result would otherwise require several steps and renders.

The Examples below shows the BCC Drop-Shadow filter with separate inputs.

Front image input clip	Back image input clip
Matte input clip	Result of front, back, matte and filter effect

Each filter in BCC features on-screen controls, which are also known as widgets, which for
instance can be used to position the pixelchooser or a light source, without having to take your eyes away from the image.

Examples of on-screen light widgets – observe alphanumeric position read-out in white text onimage to the top right of the position widget.
