Boris FX Sapphire 2019 + Mocha Pro 2019 for Avid Bundle (Annual Subscription, Download)

New and Enhanced Features

Mocha Planar Tracking & Masking (Enhanced)

Sapphire 2019 features updates to the Mocha planar tracking and masking tool such as four new spline tools, a new look and feel with the Mocha Essentials workspace, and adds retina and high-DPI monitor support. Mocha is integrated right into the interface, and you can launch Mocha right from within most of the included effects and create and track a mask. Mocha offers multiple ways of applying masks, including simple isolation and full rotoscoping.

Performance Improvements & Effect Enhancements

GPU acceleration has been improved to increase overall speed and performance and has been optimized for CUDA-enabled NVIDIA cards. Sapphire 2019 has also updated the LensFlare effect, the Flare Designer, and the Effect and Transition Builder.

PixelSort (New)

PixelSort is a new Sapphire effect that grew up in the modern digital "glitch art" movement. It's a fun new way to distort your image in a multitude of different ways and features many deep parameters to produce some stunning results. PixelSort is also available inside Sapphire Effect and Transition builder. Combine it with other Sapphire effects for a truly original effect, and use it as a transition to up production value in any edit.

WhipLash (New)

Sapphire WhipLash is a "sister effect" to one of the most popular Sapphire transitions, SwishPan. It has some amazing new functionality and features that will undoubtedly make it the Sapphire transition of choice. At its core, WhipLash is a new transition that mimics a lighting quick camera pan, blending multiple copies of an image together so it appears as if a great distance is traveled in a short amount of time. WhipLash also features a soft bounce stop, a smooth finish, or a snapback at the end of the transition. RGB separation blurs can be added for a different look and WhipLash can travel in any direction or angle as well as scaling up or down.

All Effects

Adjust

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.

Smooth out a clip by removing banding artifacts and diffusing pixels across the banded areas.

GrainRemove

Smooths the source clip while retaining the edges.

SoftFocus

Combines a blurred version of the source with the original to give a soft focus effect.

Median

Applies a median filter to the source image; useful for cleaning up isolated spots and noise.

DefocusPrism

Defocuses the color channels of the source clip into rings of different widths.

BlurMoCurves

Performs a motion blur and optionally transforms the source clip using the animated curves of the Z Dist, Rotate, and Shift parameters. If these parameters are constant, no motion blur will occur.

BlurDirectional

Blurs the source clip in a given direction using a gaussian, triangle, or box filter. It can also blur each channel by different amounts.

BlurChroma

Separates the source into luminance and chrominance components, blurs the chrominance and/or the luminance independently, and recombines them. You can also scale the luma and chroma independently to enhance or remove either.

BlurChannels

Blurs each channel of the source clip by an arbitrary amount using a gaussian, triangle, or box filter.

Distort

Distort

Warp the source clip to generate optical glass-like effects.
