Boris FX, a developer of integrated effects technology for video and
film, announced that Boris Continuum Complete 6 AE (BCC 6 AE) is now
available. BCC 6 AE brings nearly 200 filters to Mac and Windows
versions of Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro.
The new release features 13 new filters including Extruded Text,
Extruded Spline, Type-On Text, Layer Deformer, Smooth Tone, DV Fixer,
and Pixel Fixer. In addition, BCC 6 AE delivers workflow enhancements
such as support for After Effects’ Camera and Lighting System, the
ability to import After Effects mask paths into BCC 6 AE filters,
saving and loading of XML-based animated presets, a single-click
custom preset navigation tool, and motion tracking data import and
export in an industry-standard format. According to Boris Yamnitsky,
president and founder, Boris FX, other BCC 6 AE feature highlights
include:
* The ability to import AE Mask Paths into Boris Continuum Complete
Filters. From 3D text on a path to custom bevel profiles and extruded
spline objects, AE masks can now be used to control the geometry of
BCC 6 AE filters. Users may take advantage of AE’s familiar mask
tools for all custom spline work. Additionally, all BCC 6 AE filters
feature the ability to load custom AE spline masks into BCC’s
built-in PixelChooser matte and masking system for control over the
filtered result.
* Custom animated presets. This feature lets users save and re-use
every parameter animation in every BCC filter — even across host
applications and platforms. BCC 6 AE includes over 1,000
factory-installed animated presets. Animated presets are now saved in
an industry-standard XML format so that they can be viewed and edited
by any XML-compliant text editor.
* A single-click custom preset navigation tool that lets users browse
presets without opening a pop-up box. Both static and animated
presets are immediately applied and the host preview window is
automatically updated to reflect the selected preset. Over 1,500
factory-installed, user-modifiable presets are included with BCC 6
AE. * Built-In Motion Tracker enhancements are found in almost
every filter. Users may now save motion tracker data from one filter
and load the saved data in another filter or in After Effects itself.
* Performance gains. Every BCC 6 AE filter is either OpenGL-based or
multiprocessor-accelerated. Boris Continuum Complete 6 AE
supports Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro and is available
immediately through the Boris FX worldwide reseller channel and
direct through the Boris FX web site (http://www.borisfx.com) at a
manufacturer’s suggested retail price of US$995. Owners of previous
versions of Boris Continuum Complete AE may upgrade for an MSRP or
$295 USD. A 14-day trial version is available for free download.
Customers who purchased BCC 5 AE in 2009 are eligible to receive a
free upgrade to BCC 6 AE.
