User interface and workflow enhancements include ergonomic, drag-and-drop panels and a curve editor for smooth parameter animation. In addition, many of the included Boris Continuum Complete and Final Effects Complete filters include a new Compare Mode feature that lets you compare the filtered result with the unfiltered source via either a side-by-side view or a live split-screen view.

Import image-based media of any size into your editing timeline and animate the position and scale of the layer to create smooth pan and scan documentary style effects.

Boris FX 10 includes the ability to map generated text onto 3D objects such as cylinders, spheres, and cubes. These objects can be manipulated in 3D space with controls for camera, lights, and motion blur. Each of the objects has its own unique features, such as the ability to disassemble a cube over time or unwrapping a cylinder or sphere over time. Create bouncing balls mapped with video, cylindrical video tunnels, or spinning video cubes with ease and speed.

Several spline primitive shapes are included and all of these shapes can be filled, stroked, or even extruded into 3D objects. The extruded objects can also be reflection-, texture-, and bump-mapped for added realism. Every aspect of the shapes can be modified by the user, and points can be added, deleted, or manipulated just like any other bezier spline shape.

Included in Boris FX 10 is a procedural media generator that is capable of generating smooth gradients with options for linear, contour, bevel, edge, and revolve gradient styles. Every parameter of the gradient can be animated, including the gradient color and stops.

Motion blur is built into every shape track and is used to add a photo-real touch to animated objects. Motion blur can also be used on animated masks to match the natural motion blur recorded by the camera.

Video composites are more often than not accompanied by audio sound cues like a pop or splash. Boris FX 10 enables users to import scratch audio tracks and the visual cues from the waveform monitor in the timeline helps users to synchronize the video effect with the imported audio track. The audio track can be played with the effect preview, and the timeline waveform can be scrubbed to ensure correct synchronization of the audio and video.

The vector paint system in Boris FX 10 can be used to generate 2D geometric shapes which can be used as a graphic element in your composition or as part of a mask track. The style palette can be used to apply beveled edges to filled or stroked paint. The motion tracker can be used to automatically lock the position of a paint stroke to moving objects in the image clip.

Use one of the many included lighting filters in Boris FX 10 to simulate volumetric lighting in which objects appear to be in a scene with hazy air, dust, smoke, steam, mist, or fog. Several filters in Boris FX 10 specialize in creating different volumetric lighting effects, such as textured or puffy light.

16-bit deep-color provides the user with the ability to generate smoother gradients and more precise color correction via an expanded color palette, which expands the available color gamut from 16 million in 8-bit color to trillions of colors. The result is that gradients are far less prone to mach banding or color stepping. The 16-bit color in Boris FX 10 is host dependent and will only work in hosts that support this feature, such as Avid systems.

Boris FX 10 includes tools such as 4-point motion tracking with sub-pixel accuracy, 2-point image stabilization, and 4-point corner pinning. The motion tracker can track an object over time and then apply the recovered motion to a second object, such as paint, to lock the movement of the paint to the motion of the object in the clip. Image stabilization is used to remove unwanted camera shake from a clip and the corner pinning function enables the user to accurately and easily pin one image clip to another image clip with perspective distortion.

Most 3rd party After Effects filters can be used in Boris FX 10, and thereby also in your host platform, enabling you to use your favorite AE filters. A complete list of the supported filters is available on the "Support" section of the Boris FX web site.

Boris FX 10 takes advantage of the built-in OpenGl libraries included with most video cards to accelerate the preview of effects on screen. Although the level of OpenGl support does not extend to rendered output files, this feature speeds compositing and effects generation, making on-screen previews immediate, especially useful when dealing with 3D elements.

The built-in Library Browser contains hundreds of preset compositions, all of which are user modifiable. Categories include animated shapes, filters, and complex composites with PIP effects and 3D shapes. Users can save customized composition settings into the Library Browser for future retrieval and use on other projects.
