Boris FX, (http://www.borisfx.com) a developer of integrated effects
technology for video and film, has released Boris Continuum Complete
6 AVX for Avid DS (BCC 6 AVX for DS). Based on Avid’s AVX 1 plug-in
architecture, BCC 6 AVX for DS brings nearly 180 filters to 64-bit
versions of Avid DS.
The release features over 30 new filters including Pixel Fixer, DV
Fixer, and Smooth Tone tools; Swish Pan, Cartoon Look, Pencil Sketch,
and Water Color effects; and OpenGL-accelerated effects such as 3D
Extruded Image Shatter, Damaged TV, Glint, Glare, Glitter, LED, Lens
Flare, Lightning, Prism, Scanline, and Tile Mosaic.
BCC 6 AVX for DS supports 64-bit versions of Avid DS, including
Version 10 and higher. It sports new, OpenGL filters such as 3D
Extruded Image Shatter, Damaged TV, Glint, Glare, Glitter, LED, Lens
Flare, Lightning, Prism, Scanline, and Tile Mosaic.
The Pixel Fixer feature removes bad pixels resulting from a faulty
digital camera sensor or dust on a camera lens. Up to 10 bad spots
can be repaired with a single filter application.
The Smooth Tone feature smoothes or softens an image while preserving
detail contrast, making skin tones silky-smooth without loss of
sharpness in the image. Other new effects include Charcoal Sketch,
Pencil Sketch, Water Color, Cartoon Look, a Swish Pan transition
filter, and DV Fixer for removal of jaggies from an image clip.
BCC 6 AVX for Avid DS has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of
US$2,495 USD. Owners of previous versions of BCC AVX for DS may
upgrade for an MSRP of $599 USD. BCC 6 AVX for DS is based on Avid’s
AVX 1 plug-in architecture. An AVX 2 version will be released as a
free update for BCC 6 AVX for DS users as soon as AVX 2 support
becomes available in Avid DS.
