New Features
With the release of Red 4, Boris has added a list of new features to the already powerful integrated 3D compositing, titling, and effects application. Image Processing - 16 Bit Color Depth: 16 bit deep-color provides users 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 (8 bit color) to trillions of colors.) the result Is that gradients are far less prone to mach banding or color stepping.
- New User Interface: The user interface of RED 4 has been significantly improved in terms of looks and ease of use. For instance:
- the toolbar is now context sensitive
- the button array features bigger buttons that are user configurable
- buttons highlight as the cursor is rolled over them in the button array, the toolbar and at the bottom of the controls and composite windows
- the render queue has been redesigned to deliver more feedback to the user
- all windows feature tabs that automatically layer so that they remain visible regardless of the window size
- sticky windows ... windows to move together so that as you resize one window others windows resize automatically to accommodate the new size
- magnetic windows ... windows now pull toward each other when they are placed within a 10 pixel radius
- project window thumbnail previews can be temporarily disabled to speed the import of highly complex large compositions
- new Composite Window with integrated keyframe track
- tab based multi comp timeline window
- sticky windows option for easy layouts
- project settings and modeless options palette: The new addition of an Options Palette makes working with particular functions, such as grids and guides, or vector splines an easier task. For instance, to change the particulars of the grids and guide feature in previous versions of the product, the user was forced to go to the preferences window, make the change and then exit the preferences. The new Options Palette can be left open at all times and changes made in the Options Palette are instantaneous. The options palette is available for the following functions:
- Vector Trace
- Splines
- Grids and Guides
- Keyframe Interpolation
- Keyframe Generator
- Timecode
- improved project window with a media tab
- configurable shortcut buttons in timeline
- Paint Engine
- clone brush
- tablet support: The addition of support for pressure sensitive Wacom tablets, users can now work with these pressure sensitive Wacom tablet devices and use the Wacom data to drive raster paint strokes a variety of different ways. The data gathered from the tablet includes the following: pressure, velocity, direction, tilt, bearing, jitter, white noise, length and reverse length. Any one of these can be used to drive the color, opacity, and size of the brush along the leangth of the stroke.
- image based brushes, multiple layers supported
- spray, roller brush styles
- conversion to spline strokes
- Subtitles
- import EBU format: The subtitle import feature enables users to import EBU subtitle files and modify the imported text slates to suit their requirements right within the RED timeline. As added bonus to FCP users, the modified subtitle file can then be exported as FCP XML data.
- export flat movie with alpha
- import back to NLE for real-time playback
- export XML file for FCP integration
- Vector Spline tools
- vector trace tool: The Vector Trace tool enables the conversion from a raster bitmap Image such as a tiff, jpeg or a frame from a movie file to a scalable vector graphic with the ability to extrude any of the resulting vector shapes. Images are converted Into vector by simply selecting the Vector Trace tool and then dragging the tool over the Image which Is to be converted. Options for this function include the ability to select the color or alpha channel with which to base the conversion.
- motion path filter: With the motion path filter users can automatically place and animate 2D and 3D objects or shapes along a user defined bezier motion path.
- Optical Flow tools
- motion key
- optical stabilizer
- New filters
- new BCC filters: Boris RED 4 Includes some brand new filters from the Boris Continuum Complete 4 release. These powerful new filters are a significant addition to the product and ease the work of such common tasks as foreground object removal or Image stabilization.
- BCC Color Match filter ensures accurate color and luma match from clip to clip and can also be used as a stylistic effect.
- BCC Halftone filter simulates offset printing, where images are printed via an array of varying dots which carry ink onto paper.
- BCC Median filter can be used to simulate paint styles used in the Fauvism art movement.
- BCC Corner Pin filter with built-in 4 point tracking and compositing features makes It possible to pin one Image onto another.
- BCC Turbulence is used to distort an image based on a built-in noise map function.
- BCC Noise Map 2 generates more interesting noise than the original noise map.
- BCC Color Choker is used to blur and overdrive color channels.
- new FEC filters: FEC filters have been updated to better match RED4 environment.
- FEC Mr. Mercury
- FEC Kaleida
- FEC Radial Scale Wipe
- Additional new filters include:
- FEC Blobbylize
- FEC Drizzle
- FEC Glass
- FEC Glass Wipe
- FEC MinMax
- FEC Threshold
- FEC Threshold RGB
- New host support
- AVX 2 for Avid: Support for the Avid AVX 2.0 API enables the application to take advantage of some of the new features in the AVX2 API, which means for RED 4 users 16 bit deep color support while plugged Into that host environment resulting In cleaner color and gradients.
- Edius 4
- Vegas 7
- 844X
- FXPlug for FCP on Intel Mac (available as free update later 2006)
- Productivity
- Consolidate project feature: This feature automatically creates a folder and moves all media related to the current project into that folder along with the project settings file.
- improved render queue: Users can now render selected items from the render queue instead of having to render all items in order as in previous versions of the product.
- new browser presets: RED 4 includes many new composition presets, which were designed specifically for RED 4 by compositing and effects guru Steve Oakley.
- additional filter presets
- Browser only option for easy presets: Literally hundreds of additional presets have been added to the BCC filters, which are included in the RED 4 application making It easier than ever before to add new looks to your projects.

NOTE: like the Blue 2.5 standalone application, the Blue plugins are also subject to the Windows XP, Quicktime, and Graphics board/driver requirements listed previously NOTE: The current version of the Blue 2.5 Avid AVX plugin does not support Avid Symphony Nitris at this time. Check back for updates on any changes to Blue requirements (including status Symphony Nitris support) DualView display mode on a dual monitor NVIDIA based configuration
To run using the DualView display mode on a dual monitor configuration, BLUE 2.5 (standalone or plugin) requires the following NVIDIA driver Performance and Quality settings: - nView Display set to DualView
- Hardware Acceleration set to Single Display mode
- Unified Back Buffer turned OFF (Quadro only setting, not relevant to GeForce boards)
NOTE: using DualView with Hardware Acceleration set to Single Mode allows the system to treat the 2 monitors as individual monitors while focusing the OGL Hardware Acceleration to the primary monitor. It is necessary to work with your video display windows on the primary monitor for them to update during playback using these NVIDIA settings. Monitor configuration limitation for working in 1080i HD size on NVIDIA based system
In the current Blue 2.5 release it is necessary to set nView Display to Horizontal Span in the NVIDIA Control Panel or run the system in a single monitor configuration for working with 1080i HD size projects (1920 x1080 pixels) – meaning the NVIDIA card must be set to treat the 2 monitors as a single wide monitor or it must be driving only one monitor rather than two to successfully render Blue 2 effects at that resolution. Blue 1080i effect output (plugin or standalone) will be cropped when running 2 monitors in DualView configuration. Boris Final Effects Complete 5 AE

DESCRIPTION
Visual Effects Filters and Transitions for Adobe After Effects
Final Effects Complete 5 AE is a ground-up re-write of the legendary Final Effects Complete filters by the Boris FX development team. With a modernized user interface, multi-processor acceleration, and 16-bit color processing, the famous Final Effects Complete filters are ready for the creative minds of the 21st century. Well known for the unique particle treatments of Mr. Mercury and Bubbles, the creative distortions of Griddler and Flo Motion, the eye catching, stylized effects of Mr. Smoothie and Glue Gun, and the excellent edge treatments of Sparkle Edges and Wiggle Edges, Final Effects Complete remains the hidden secret behind many award-winning projects. While borrowing many new technologies from Boris Continuum Complete, FEC 5 AE remains compatible with all previous FEC versions released by Cycore, MetaCreations, and ICE. Final Effects Complete 5 AE supports Adobe After Effects CS4, Adobe After Effects, CS3 and Adobe After Effects 7 under Mac OS X, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. FEC 5 AE is a Universal Binary release. FEC 5 AE also supports Adobe Premiere Pro and Autodesk Combustion. Significant new features in version 5 - FEC 5 takes full advantage of many technologies found in Boris Continuum Complete. Features such as PixelChooser, Motion Tracker, Preset Loader and Online Documentation hallmarks of BCC filters are now included with FEC, too.
New UI: The new modernized native parameter UI sports new control groups, contextual controls, on-screen widgets, custom controls and many other improvements. All parameter options are now readily available as native parameters without a need to open modal dialog windows. - 16 Bit Rendering : FEC 5 includes both 8 and 16 bit filters for highest quality image processing.
- MP Acceleration : All filters have been optimized from the original version to take full advantage of multi core and multi processor computing platforms. The overall speedup varies from filter to filter.
- PixelChooser Technology : Most FEC 5 filters feature the award-winning Boris PixelChooser where appropriate. PixelChooser is an internal method of selectively applying the image processing to the image based on criteria defined by the user. The criteria may vary from color channel information to simple geometric shapes to spline-based masks available in After Effects. This method is superior to layer duplication and masking because it is more flexible and efficient. The mask can be applied to various stages of pre and post processing. The parts of the image not chosen by the mask remain untouched by the filter.
- Multitude Of Standard Presets : As any Boris product FEC 5 ships with over 800 pre-saved presets for quick new looks. Custom presets can be saved and shared between multiple workstations and even emailed to other users.
- Extensive Filter Enhancements: FEC 5 AE adds new features and improvements to every one of the 108 filters in the set. Highlights include:
- Auto-animation in many of the transitions
- Extensive new controls in FEC Hair such as the ability to generate curly hair instead of just straight hair as well as the ability to modulate the gravity direction across the image based on a gradient map
- New FEC Bubbles controls for drift direction, particle randomness, and source texture mapping pinning. In addition, FEC Bubbles now includes a Deflector point to create regions with no bubbles.
- Much better lighting controls in Mr Mercury, Blobblylize, Glue Gun, Glass, and Ball Action
- Two new particle types in Particle Systems II Advanced Sphere and Advanced Lens. These new particle types allow you to generate different looking spheres with more extensive lighting control.
- New bend styles added to the FEC Bender menu

- Spherize Wipe: The incoming image Zooms in with a Spherize effect -the Spherize then undistorts to complete the transition
- Griddler Wipe: The incoming image Zooms in with a Griddler effect -the Spherize then undistorts to complete the transition
- Pin Wipe: The incoming image Zooms in with it's 4 corners pinned to user chosen points (as in Power Pin Effect). The 4 corners then move to the corners of the image, completing the transition
- Slant Wipe: The incoming image Pans in with a Slant effect effect -the Slant then undistorts to complete the transition.
- Rain Wipe: The in coming image is wiped in matted with synthetic rain, which becomes dense enough to cover the whole image, completing the effect
- Blur Dissolve: The incoming and outgoing images are blurred, with the blur automatically animating to 0 at the end of the effect when the image becomes fully visible, completing the effect. Apply modes can be used with the blurs to create glow and other unusual effects. Apply modes can be applied to the dissolve phase to boost contrast in the middle of the effect. This feature can be used very effectively without the blur to create an enhanced dissolve.
All of the new transitions have hold and ease controls at the start of the effect and additional transition specific controls to allow the user to control effect timing without keyframes. REQUIREMENTS
