Boris has announced that Boris Continuum Complete 5.0 for Avid AVX 2.0 architecture (BCC 5.0 for AVX) is now available.
BCC 5.0 for AVX is a high performance desktop compositing plug-in package offering over 180 filters for professional visual effects creation. Leveraging the new AVX 2.0 API features, BCC 5.0 delivers a number of user workspace enhancements including on screen and contextual controls for faster and better effects design. Other significant additions are the new BCC 5.0 for AVX filters that incorporate high powered image scaling and motion tracking as well as OGL 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 5.0 is one of the most robust and highly engineered compositing plug-in applications on the market today,” said Boris FX founder Boris Yamnitsky.
The new BCC 5.0 filters are either multi-core processor or OGL 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 more extensive controls for precise image scaling and re-sampling. Overall better workflow and image quality is achieved with special filter 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. With the release of version 5, the Motion Tracker has an improved UI, making it even easier to use.
New fast rendering OGL BCC filters; LED, Prism, Scanlines, and Damaged TV filters leverage OGL rendering technology allowing Avid editors to produce eye catching and unique looks quickly.
Enhanced noise and edge detection algorithms; BCC Turbulence, Noise Map 2 and Color Choker filters now offer users even more choices for stylizing their media.
