Boris FX Announces Boris Continuum Complete 9 Units Now Available for the Avid Product Family for the First-Time
Boston, MA, USA - September 4, 2014 - Boris Continuum Complete 9 (BCC) Units are now available from Boris FX, the leading developer of integrated VFX and workflow technology for video and film. The sixteen Units include new filters, features, and speed improvements from the recently updated flagship product, Boris Continuum Complete.
Host Support: The updated BCC Units are currently supported in Adobe and Sony applications, and available for the first-time in Avid NLEs.
"The ability to purchase individual units from a larger plug-in set is unique to Boris Continuum Complete," notes Boris Yamnitsky, Boris FX Founder and CEO. "It allows us to offer critical features to our customers at a much lower price point."
"The new BCC AVX Units are a welcome option for Avid users, drastically reducing the entry price for those seeking to enhance their VFX options in Avid systems," says David Colantuoni, Sr. Director of Product Management for Creative Apps and Storage.
Support for Apple, Blackmagic Resolve, Assimilate Scratch, and The Foundry Nuke will be added later this quarter.
New Feature Highlights:
FX Browser - All BCC Units include the new integrated FX Browser window for quick preset browsing and effect selection.
BCC Film Unit - Adds BCC Vignette, which mimics the soft feel of a camera lens projected on screen with added luminosity and defocus controls; and BCC 2-Strip Color to recreate the highly saturated retro Technicolor look of Hollywoods early films.
