Boris FX Optical Diffusion Overview

The Boris Continuum continues to grow and delight users, from indie filmmakers to seasoned commercial pros, and the Boris FX Continuum Optical Diffusion is a plug-in package that can help you get the most storytelling and emotional impact from your footage.

The package includes electronic filters that allow you to recreate many of the optical filter diffusion and focus effects that cinematographers and still photographers use to creative advantage.

This is a 1-seat license to use in a compatible edit or effect program of your choice.

    Tools
    Center Spot Filter
    Diffuses and blurs distracting backgrounds while keeping a center spot in focus. The center spot can be moved and sized and the amount of blur can be controlled.
    Depth of Field
    Simulates depth-of-field effects by isolating and blurring only a portion of the image. The amount of blurring is directly proportionate to the luminance of the matte settings, a gradient, or an input image.
    Diffusion
    Creates atmosphere by reducing contrast while creating a glow around highlights or shadows using an extensive texture library.
    Fog
    Creates a soft, misty atmosphere over the image and glowing highlights.
    Double Fog
    Creates a soft, misty atmosphere over the image by first applying fog using a vanishing point along the direction of increasing distance in the image. Then, a second pass blooms image highlights, creating an image reminiscent of the optical double fog filters.
    Frost
    Different from a Fog or Double Fog filter, the Frost filter glows highlights and reduces contrast while softening facial blemishes and wrinkles.
    Halo
    Similar to a Frost filter, the Halo filter glows highlights and reduces contrast while softening facial blemishes and wrinkles.
    Mist
    Providing a different look than Frost or Halo, the Mist filter also glows highlights and reduces contrast while softening facial blemishes and wrinkles.
    Net
    Softens and minimizes facial imperfections while retaining image clarity. Great for portraits and people photography.
    Silk
    Softens wrinkles, blemishes, and fine detail to produce smooth skin textures while retaining detail in coarse features such as the eyes, nose, and mouth.
    Rack Focus
    Replicates a true camera focus pull by introducing lens Bokeh effects. Bokeh is the Japanese term that describes the quality of out-of-focus points of light. In defocused areas, each point of light becomes a shape-either a circle or a polygon. The shape grows in size as the amount of defocusing is increased.
    Split Field
    Splits an in focus image with a line that can be positioned, rotated, and blurred. On one side of the line, the image is blurred and on the other it is in focus. Please note that this does not simulate the effect of a split diopter.
