Particle Illusion, the 2D particle effects tool that Boris FX ‘ rebooted‘ last year, gets a number of workflow improvements, including better thumbnail previews, tagging and filtering options for particle emitters. The corner pin and power pin features are now integrated into a single effect.Īs well as the features announced originally, the update adds a set of six new transitions, new templates for titling tool Title Studio, and the option to share Continuum presets via networked drives. Above, we’ve embedded the overview video, which shows the new tools. Updated 29 October 2019: Continuum 2020 is shipping. There is also a new effect based on Mocha Pro’s corner pin functionality, intended as a simple way to replace billboards or computer and phone screens in footage and BCC_PowerPin, for distorting and undistorting footage, which presumably works in a similar way to After Effects’ CC Power Pin effect.
The update also introduces support for OpenColorIO, and for open-source multimedia playback framework GStreamer, the latter as a replacement for QuickTime, which Apple deprecated on Windows in 2016.Ĭontinuum 2020: new effects and transitionsĬontinuum 2020 gets new effects, including BCC_ReflectImage, for projecting reflections of an object into polished surfaces and BCC_CastShadow, for throwing shadows behind or in front of an object.
It can also be used to define roto shapes, with Mocha Pro converting paint areas to roto splines.
Other changes include a more rapid brush-based workflow for defining tracking search areas, in the shape of Area Brush, a new interactive spline tool with “gestural, paint-like functionality”. Updated 7 October 2019: Boris FX has now released a feature highlights video for Mocha Pro 2020, embedded at the top of the story. Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be a demo video of it in action yet, but the workflow has obvious potential for set extension work and for repositioning footage. The system, described by Boris FX as “unique”, extracts a composite background plate from moving footage, making it possible to generate a clean plate larger than the visible area of any individual frame. Mocha Pro 2020 includes a couple of interesting features: notably Mega Plate. Mocha Pro 2020: new background plate extraction feature, OpenColorIO support In addition, Mocha Pro gets a new Mega Plate module for extracting larger-than-raster background images from moving footage, plus an Area Brush for defining tracking search areas.Īll of the products will be on show at IBC 2019. The releases add support for key colour management standard OpenColorIO in Mocha Pro and Sapphire, with support in Continuum “in development”.
