Film Process, Film Damage, Match Grain, Film Grain, Deinterlace, and Prism



The new Boris Continuum Film Look Unit includes the following plug-ins:

* Film Process: The Film Process plug-in can help "filmize" digital video by deepening the color response range of the digital image to emulate film's dynamic color range. It can also be used to color grade and mimic an infinite variety of analog lens filters, optical processes, and special effects. This capability allows for a broader aesthetic and creative palette that filmed imagery offers - but without the higher cost of 35mm film production.

* Film Damage: Film Damage simulates the appearance of old film stock. You can add scratches, grain particles, hair or fibers, and dirt, dust, or water spots. You can also simulate camera shake or a flickering image.

* Match Grain: Match Grain takes a snapshot of telecined media and generates a grain signature which can be used as a matching grain sample for a destination clip containing little or no grain. A common application of this filter is adding grain to computer-generated imagery to lend to a more realistic composite. Match Grain can also be used to grain footage shot on video so it edits more seamlessly into a sequence with telecined media.

* Film Grain: The Film Grain plug-in creates an auto-animated noise effect designed to simulate the appearance of grain particles in the emulsion of movie or photo film.

* Deinterlance: The Deinterlace plug-in converts interlaced video clips into progressive-scan frames, such as footage shot on film. Deinterlace can render "simulated telecine" style by adding pulldown. This filter can also convert 29.97fps NTSC video into 24fps film-style frames.

* Prism: Prism 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 the image.

Boris Continuum Film Look is available now for $299 USD.

Boris Continuum Film Look supports Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, and Apple Motion. For Avid systems, the Film Look filters are included as part of Boris Continuum Complete AVX.

The new OpenGL-accelerated Boris Continuum Lens Flare Unit simulates a lens flare - streaks and spots of light on film caused by light bouncing inside a camera lens. Composite the lens flare over a source image or generate a completely synthetic image. A wide range of preset lens flares is included for quick application or as a starting point for a custom effect. What makes the Boris Lens Flare unique is its ability to track a camera pan in the source footage, producing a more natural flare animation to match the original in-camera effect.

Boris Continuum Lens Flare includes Lens Flare and Lens Flare Advanced. Lens Flare is streamlined for when you want to create a simple effect. Lens Flare Advanced provides more options for controlling the effect.

Boris Continuum Lens Flare is available now for $99 USD.

Boris Continuum Lens Flare supports Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, and Apple Motion. For Avid systems, the Lens Flare filters are included as part of Boris Continuum Complete AVX.

A Boris FX customer recently wrote:

"I'm a Boris user who has a Windows machine with a good NVIDIA graphics card, and I now hear that Boris Blue 2 can be used as a plug-in for Avid. You say Boris Blue does 3D, right? Well, what if I already have Boris Graffiti, Boris FX, Boris Red, or Avid FX? I know some of those products already offer 3D text and some offer 3D shapes. Why would I want Boris Blue if I already have something like the latest version of Red or Avid FX?"

Compared to Boris Red or Avid FX, Blue gives you...

- Much more speed for both previewing effects and rendering effects. Blue uses NVIDIA graphics cards for accelerated GPU rendering and preview.

- Much more sophisticated 3D looks because it has more advanced 3D lighting, more advanced Materials for 3D surfaces, true 3D shape deformers for all shapes, and custom bevels and extrusion faces for extruded objects.

- Fast, powerful 3D Particle Emitters for realistic simulation of smoke, fire, and sparks or creation of animated backgrounds and other graphic elements.

- The ability to import 3D model files such as .3ds (3ds Max) and .obj (Maya) geometry files, preserving individual geometry groups and maintaining editable texture and bump maps. This gives you access to an infinite number of new 3D shapes for your Boris Blue 3D effects.

- Advanced 3D Camera features including the ability to animate a camera along a user defined bezier path. Have a camera stay focused on a specific 3D point or track another 3D object as its target while moving through 3D space.

- Better interface tools for composing 3D effects. The Blue Composite Window offers split views for simultaneously viewing and adjusting your 3D scene from multiple perspectives. Blue also gives you improved 3D interactors for better manipulating objects in 3D space.

Custom on-screen controls, enhanced motion tracking, and popular new filters such as Match Move and Up-Rez extend Avid NLE motion graphics capabilities

Boris Continuum Complete 5 for Avid AVX is a high-performance desktop compositing plug-in package offering over 180 filters for professional visual effects creation. Leveraging the new Avid AVX 2.0 API, BCC 5 AVX delivers a number of user workspace enhancements including on-screen and contextual controls for faster and better effects design. Other significant additions are filters that incorporate high powered image scaling and motion tracking as well as OpenGL acceleration for creating unique looks and organic effects.

"Already one of the most popular compositing applications among Avid users, the new BCC release is a quantum leap ahead of its peers with Avid integration. Combine this with highly sought-after features such as Match Move and Up Rez and BCC 5 is one of the most robust and highly engineered compositing plug-in applications on the market today," said Boris FX founder Boris Yamnitsky.

New User Workspace Enhancements
The new BCC 5 AVX on-screen controls are designed specially for Avid systems. They provide Avid editors an organized workspace in which they can visually set up often-used geometric parameters such as BCC's Motion Tracker and PixelChooser. New contextual controls reduce the user interface clutter while the new EZ mode helps users keep their focus on the main filter parameters

"With the release of BCC 5 AVX, I can't imagine needing another effects package! Being able to take the same filter set from my compositing tools - After Effects and Combustion - and match the look and feel as a native AVX tool in the editing application completes the post production workflow," comments David Baertsh, creative director and senior editor, DB Editorial. "The BCC film process tools will impress even the most critical director/producer. It comes closer than anything I have seen for matching HD cameras to 35mm film. BCC 5 is a must-have addition to every video finishing system."

BCC 5 Filter and Feature Highlights
New BCC 5 filters are either multi-core processor or OpenGL-accelerated to take full advantage of new desktop and laptop hardware.

* BCC Pan and Zoom. Known as the "Ken Burns" effect, BCC Pan and Zoom improves on the Avid Pan and Zoom filter by giving users extensive controls for precise image scaling and re-sampling. Better workflow and image quality are achieved with special features such as the "watch folder" and new "UpRez" filter.

* BCC UpRez. For common SD to HD conversions, the new BCC UpRez filter provides high quality conversion results.

* Built-in Motion Tracking for new BCC Match Move filter. Based on the award-winning motion tracking technology in Boris RED, the new BCC Match Move filter allows users to combine motion tracking with transformation/compositing of a layer. The Motion Tracker has an improved UI making it even easier to use.

* New fast rendering OpenGL BCC filters. LED, Prism, Scanline, and Damaged TV filters leverage OpenGL rendering technology allowing Avid editors to produce eye-catching and unique looks quickly.

* Enhanced noise and edge detection algorithms. Turbulence, Noise Map 2, and Color Choker filters now offer users even more choices for stylizing their media.

"Boris has hit a home run once again. This latest release of the BCC effects package adds many new options that were wanted by many including myself. Great job as usual!" - Terence Curren, editor and president, Alpha Dogs.

Pricing and Availability
BCC 5 AVX is available now for a suggested retail price of $895 (new) and $295 (upgrade) for Avid Xpress Pro systems and $1995 (new) and $599 (upgrade) for Avid Media Composer and Symphony systems.

Here is an excerpt from the review:

"I have to admit, I went into looking at Boris RED a little skeptical, and walked away almost speechless. RED is an excellent product that every editor should have to complement Motion 3. With Motion's new 3D capabilities, and the effects and graphical WOW of Boris RED, any editor with Final Cut Studio will be able to put a smile on even the most particular client's face. "

Adds full support for Apple Final Cut Studio's FxPlug architecture, advanced image scaling and format conversion, and new OpenGL accelerated filters

Boris FX has announced Boris Continuum Complete version 5 (BCC 5). BCC is a comprehensive suite of native filters and transitions designed for Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, and Avid nonlinear editing and compositing systems.

BCC 5 includes Universal Binary support for all Mac-based host applications, including Adobe Creative Suite 3. The BCC 5 release also offers full native support for Apple FxPlug as well as Avid AVX 2.0 on Intel-based Macs.

In addition to expanding host support and optimizing performance across platforms, the 180+ BCC 5 filter set introduces innovative and accelerated filters for fast effects production and image manipulation. Comprehensive pan and scan controls, superior up-rez conversions, integrated motion tracking for video editors, and accelerated OpenGL effects make BCC 5 one of the most robust compositing tools on the market today.

"All BCC iterations since version 1 have been essential parts of my compositing toolbox. Key features like BCC's use of AE masks lets the effects go just where they're needed," comments Kurt Wiley, FX/animation specialist. "Aside from the new styling looks, BCC 5 control over AE up-rezes improves magnification and line definition - ideal for the multiple formats we deal with on a daily basis."

Attendees to NAB2007 can see BCC 5 at booth SL10520.

Boris Continuum Complete 5 Feature Highlights

* Precise Pan and Zoom Techniques
BCC Pan and Zoom: Known as the Ken Burns effect (panning and zooming large still images or photographs), the new BCC Pan and Zoom filter offers on-screen controls, convenient preview modes, and advanced image filtering algorithms for precise image motion and scaling. Users can also import external files.

* High Quality SD to HD Media Conversions
BCC UpRez: Ideal for working with multiple SD and HD formats in the same project, BCC UpRez quickly converts SD to HD with optimal image quality.

* Motion Tracking within your Video Editor
BCC MatchMove brings Boris RED's award-winning motion tracking to within the native NLE interface. BCC MatchMove locks the movement of one image clip to another. Users can alter the moving image with the Boris DVE.

* New BCC 5 OpenGL Accelerated Filters
New OpenGL accelerated filters include:

- BCC LED: enables artists to make a clip appear as though it was constructed out of an array of blinking or solid LED lights.

- BCC Prism: simulates the photographic effect of chromatic aberration - similar to a bad lens that creates color fringing along edges of contrast.

- BCC Scan Lines: generates rolling RGB scan lines over the image clip, emulating the effect of a computer monitor that is shot on video tape or film.

- BCC DamagedTV: emulates the appearance of a CRT-style television set that is receiving a bad signal or is in need of repair.

- BCC Noise Map: generates procedural auto-animated image clips that can be used as backdrops or as a mask track input for other image clips.

- BCC Turbulence: generates auto-animated gel-like distortion fields in an image clip utilizing the input from the built-in noise map and turbulence controls.

- BCC Color Choker: allows users to easily posterize and blur colors in a clip. Colors can be attenuated or remapped individually or as an RGB group.

"BCC is an exceptional filter set and a fan favorite among our customers. With BCC 5 we have ensured that our users get maximum productivity whether they are using the new Intel-based architectures or legacy applications," comments Boris Yamnitsky, founder and president, Boris FX. "And as with every Boris release, we have pushed the envelope and introduced some of the most innovative effects creation filters on the market today.

Here are some excerpts from the review:

"The ability to use motion tracking to guide the clone tool practically automates certain rotoscoping functions. In addition, the new paint tool (when used along with lighting effects) can create effects similar to the animated glowing lines often seen flowing through commercials and music videos. Each paint track generates a separate subtrack for each new color, clone, spray, or roller paint stroke. This gives you plenty of design options by providing control of the start and ending time of individual strokes within a single paint track. You even can simulate 3D ribbon effects with the roller. With Red 4.1's path tools, it's easy to create a true animated 3D ribbon that actually follows a path."

"Anyone working with interlaced footage will really appreciate the Degrain and Deinterlace filters. I could apply them with ease and found them both to be effective and fast. The Degrain and Deinterlace filters contain a number of useful parameters that allow easy tweaking to get professional results."

"The new enhancements, especially the added filters and improved interface, make Boris Red 4.1 worth the upgrade."

"If you are an editor in a broadcast operation and do lot of work in After Effects--plain and simple: you need to buy BCC 4. The BCC filters cover a pretty wide range of effects. It's not uncommon here to have a comp with a dozen BCC 4 effects scattered throughout, and most spots that hit our air have BCC 4 all over them. The Boris plug-ins are quick and easy, with options to dig into and tweak. BCC 4 saves us time and resources--something extremely important to broadcast news." - Tim Johnson, KUTV 2 News (CBS), Salt Lake City
