Description

Boris CONTINUUM Basics is a collection of over 30 filters from the award-winning Boris CONTINUUM Complete plug-in suite. Easily integrate snow, rain, stars, fire, clouds, and other eye-catching particle effects into your video footage. Create professional effects using advanced, easy-to-use filters such as Burnt Film, Cartooner, 3D Image Shatter, Light Sweep, and Mosaic. CONTINUUM Basics integrates seamlessly with Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, and Adobe After Effects.

Features

  • 2D Particles - 2D Particles breaks the source image into particles and disperses them in 2D space. This filter also provides a variety of explosion, velocity, and gravity controls to adjust the particles movement. You can also control the size, shape, density, and opacity of the particles, and create custom particle shapes and scatter wipes.
  • 3D Image Shatter - 3D Image Shatter shatters the image in 3D space and disperses the image fragments. The filter provides a variety of explosion, velocity, and gravity parameters to control particle movement. In addition, 3D Image Shatter has a number of parameters that allow you to control the particle size and shape, rotation, opacity, lighting, and explosion style.
  • Alpha Spotlight - Alpha Spotlight uses a spotlight to create or add transparency to the source image. For example, you can use Alpha Spotlight to create an effect in which the lit areas become transparent while the background is left opaque, or vice versa.
  • Blur - Blur emulates the look of shooting in soft focus or with lens diffusion. This filter allows you to blur the horizontal and vertical components of the image independently.
  • Bulge - Bulge makes the source image appear as if it is stretched over a surface with a bulge or a depression.
  • Burnt Film - Burnt Film simulates the look of holes burning through a layer of film to reveal another image. This filter provides control over the appearance of the burned edges and the burn rate, and allows you to use a custom alpha matte to set the shape of the burn holes.
  • Cartooner - The Cartooner filter allows you to draw an outline around the edges in one of an image=92s color or alpha channels. You can also use the Cartooner filter to turn a video source into an outline animation.
  • Chroma - Chroma Key is used for compositing camera footage shot using a blue, green, or red screen as a backdrop over a new background video or a still image from a separate file.
  • Clouds - Clouds is a realistic clouds generator. The clouds can act as a filter on a layer or generate a sky with clouds and a horizon color. Three different types of clouds automatically animate using the Direction, Angle and Speed you set without using keyframes.
  • Comet - Comet creates an auto-animated comet that streaks across the screen. The comet is compromised of particles whose sizes, shapes, and colors can be adjusted. You can also set the length and speed of the effect, adjust the camera perspective, position the starting and ending points of the comet, and apply a gravitational force to adjust the comet's movement.
  • Directional Blur - Directional Blur blurs the image by displacing it in one direction. The effect is similar to how a photograph of a speeding object appears if taken with a slower shutter speed.
  • EdgeLighting - The Edge Lighting filter finds edges based on pixel-to-pixel differences in any chosen channel in the source image or in the Edge Source Track and applies light to these edges. Highlights and Shadows are independently computed and can be blurred and applied separately to the source.
  • Emboss - Emboss simulates the appearance of an embossed or raised image by converting the source to a solid color and lighting the edges in the source's luma channel.
  • Fast Flipper - Fast Flipper flips or mirrors your image. You can flip your image vertically or horizontally, or define an invisible mirror line that mirrors your image in various directions. You can also blend the mirror line to produce a smoother transition between the original and mirrored images. Resampling is on a pixel-for-pixel basis, so the filter is fast and no quality is lost.
  • Fire - Fire is an auto-animated procedural fire effect which offers control over flame width and height, color, and movement, and allows you to generate smoke. This filter can use the alpha channel in any other layer as a Map Layer, allowing you to create fire effects which conform to a pre-composed image or logo.
  • Invert Solarize - Invert Solarize inverts one or more channels in the source image.
  • Light Sweep - BCC Light Sweep creates a linear beam of light that sweeps across your image. The filter is physically modeled after a light that is infinitely far away. The light is infinitely wide in one direction, and falls off in the other. Light Sweep also has some very useful edge detection and edge lighting features.
  • Linear Luma Key - Linear Luma Key creates a key from a single channel in the source. This type of filter is called a luma key, because the key is usually created from the image luminance, but you can also use any single RGB channel. You might want to examine the individual channels of the source and use a channel that provides more contrast between the foreground and background than the luma channel.
  • Make Alpha - Make Alpha Key creates a new alpha channel from one of the existing channels in the image and then applies levels and gamma correction to the new alpha channel. Make Alpha Key also has a PixelChooser that determines which pixels are used to create the alpha channel.
  • Mosaic - Mosaic allows you to pixelate images to achieve a range of mosaic effects using a few simple parameters and a PixelChooser.
  • PixelChooser - The PixelChooser filter is a standalone version of the PixelChooser parameter group used in many Boris filters. Like the PixelChooser parameter group, the standalone PixelChooser filter allows you to select pixels in the source based on their geometric positions or their luma or color information.
  • Posterize - Posterize reduces the number of colors in the image by independently reducing the number of discrete levels in each color channel. The resulting output image has a few distinct values of red, green, and blue, instead of having each value spread over the full range of 0 to 255. The filter also allows you to scramble the output values for additional creative control.
  • Rain - Rain is an auto-animated filter which generates realistic rain effects. You can composite the rain over any clip in your timeline. The filter allows you to determine the density, speed, direction, and color of the drops, and to control the apparent depth of the effect.
  • Ripple - The Ripple filter simulates ripples spreading out from a point of origin in a pool of water, similar to what you see after tossing a pebble into a pond. This filter automatically creates animated ripples and allows you to choose from a range of wave shapes.
  • Snow - Snow is an auto-animated snow generator which can composite snow over a sky color or an image layer.The filter offers extensive options for customizing the effect and allows you to create drifts or make flakes pile up along the edges of an alpha channel.
  • Spotlight - Spotlight generates a realistic spotlight that can be placed and aimed at a target point on the image using on-screen position points. A range of parameters provide full control over the shape, width, color, and elevation of the light; offer edge lighting capabilities; and even allow you to place gels over the light source.
  • Stars - Stars is an auto-animated star generator which can composite stars over a sky color or an image layer. This filter provides control over the size, density, movement and color of the stars, and allows you to add galaxies. Stars can also use the alpha channel in any other layer as a map layer, allowing you to create skies in which stars fill a pre-composed image or logo.
  • Tritone - Tritone creates a toned image from the source image's luma channel or any of its RGB channels. The Input Channel maps to a color range that goes from the Black Color to the Middle Color to the White Color. The default Tritone uses the source's luma channel as the Input Channel to produce an image that is black where the source is black, white where the source is white, and blue-toned in the gray regions.
  • Two Way Key - Two Way Key is useful for keying out a range of colors while retaining one color in the range. Two Way Key works by using a Key Color to determine which color is keyed out, then using a Keep Color to restore opacity to selected colors in the range. You can also adjust the range of colors to key out and key in using the Similarity controls.
  • Wave - The Wave and Ripple filters are very similar, except that Wave creates parallel waves instead of waves that radiate from a point.
