Boris Sapphire 11 Adjust Unit features a comprehensive set of basic tools for advanced color correction. The Adjust Unit is a multi-host plug-in compatible with After Effects, Premiere, Media Composer, and several OFX applications. It can be used in all host applications at the same time as long as they are on the same computer.
Version 11 adds an integrated Mocha planar tracking and masking feature, which can be launched right from most of the included effects to create and track a mask. This tool offers multiple ways of applying masks, including simple isolation and full rotoscoping.
Effects
Monochrome
Generates a monochrome version of the source clip using adjustable weights for the red, green, and blue channels. This can simulate the use of a color filter applied to the lens of a black and white camera. For example, use more red weight to darken blue sky areas of the input. The weights are scaled so they sum to 1 before being used to reduce overall brightness changes when they are adjusted.
ClampChroma
Reduces the chrominance of the input clip if necessary so it is not above a specified maximum. This effect can be used to make broadcast-safe colors. It can also be used to scale the chrominance, clamp the luminance, or scale the luminance.
Tint
Tints the dark and light regions of the input clip towards given colors. The dark colors are tinted by the Tint Dark color, and the brighter colors are tinted by the Tint Lights color.
Threshold
Sets the color channels of the source clip to Full On or Full Off using a given softness and threshold. This can be used to increase the contrast of each color channel independently.
ShowBadColors
Identifies all pixels that fall outside a given color range, and flags them with the same color so they can be seen easily.
QuadTone
Performs an interpolation between four specified colors using the brightness of the source clip.
TriTone
Performs an interpolation between three specified colors using the brightness of the source clip.
Invert
Inverts the colors of the source clip, so black becomes white, and white becomes black. This can optionally also invert luma, chroma, RGB and alpha channels independently and do some basic color correction on the inverted result.
HueSatBright
Adjusts the hue, saturation, brightness, and/or offset of the input clip.
HotSpots
Generates a hotspot image containing areas of the source clip brighter than a given threshold. The colors of the hotspots should match the original source. This can be used for increasing contrast or finding the bright areas of a clip, but without changing the color saturation or hue of the result.
Gamma
Applies a gamma correction to the input clip. The red, green, and blue channels can be adjusted independently. From Gamma just causes the inverse effect of adjusting Gamma.
DuoTone
Performs an interpolation between two specified colors using the brightness of the source clip.
ChannelSwitcher
Reorders the RGBA channels of the source clip. Allows mapping any source channel into any output channel, with scaling and offset for each output channel.
