In Premiere Pro, Boris Blue is available as a filter and as a single track transition effect; Blue can also be used to generate a composition clip. In After Effects, Blue is available as an After Effects filter - capable of utilizing up to seven tracks from the After Effects timeline as video inputs.

"The television commercial work I produce for local clients typically has tight budgets and deadlines. I often find I can browse the settings library bundled with Boris Blue and modify one or more to design a unique 3D effect or transition quickly and efficiently. Also, both Boris Blue and Boris RED integrate seamlessly into the Avid Media Composer timeline, which speeds up my workflow. So, I can offer my clients 3D work on a 2D budget."
