Boris Final Effects Complete AVX Now Available
November 18, 2005
Boston MA - Boris FX announced the availability of a new version of Boris Final Effects Complete AVX (FEC AVX). FEC AVX ($795) is a collection of native plug-in filters and transitions that streamline workflow for Avid editors. More than 100 sophisticated effects animate directly in the Avid Effect Editor window.
One of the first Adobe After Effects plug-in packages, Version 4.0 now supports all Avid systems running on the AVX 1.0 architecture, including Avid DS systems. Avid Visual Extensions (AVX) is a plug-in architecture that dynamically extends the effects supported by Avid systems. Formerly known as ICEfx, these ICE hardware-accelerated effects are now available as a software-only solution. The initial release is for Windows only. A future release will add Macintosh support.
Most filters feature less than a dozen parameters; only a few simple adjustments are required to create totally unique organic effects. Users can generate full-featured two-dimensional and three-dimensional animations including ball action, explosions, distortions, jet trails, and hair, according to Boris FX.
FEC AVX also delivers a range of unique auto-animating transitions. Ranging from graceful blurs to radical warps, FEC AVX lets you create dramatic effects with minimal adjustment.
According to the company, Version 4.0 highlights include:
More than 100 easy-to-use organic visual effects.
The easy-to-use licensing includes Electronic Software Download (ESD) and a 14-day trial version.
Dozens of auto-animating transition effects streamline workflow.
Kaleida, Griddler, VideoFragment and Tiler easily create complex switcher-style effects.
Dual-input effects let you create reflections, flow maps and bump maps.
Save parameters, including keyframe animation, to an Avid bin to reuse as templates.
An online help system is integrated into each filter.
FEC AVX is not compatible with the older ICE versions that ran on the AVX architecture. FEC AVX is available bundled with Boris Continuum Complete AVX (BCC AVX). BCC AVX is a comprehensive suite of native plug-in filters and transitions for Avid systems. More than 170 filters extend the visual effects capabilities of Avid NLEs. BCC AVX offers powerful integration features including built-in motion tracking and the unique PixelChooser, which creates channel or region-based masks. Hundreds of presets and integrated online help provide fast and precise effects creation with a minimal learning curve. With multi-processor and OpenGL acceleration, BCC AVX provides a powerful and complimentary feature set to Avid nonlinear editing systems.
Final Effects Complete AVX and Continuum Complete AVX for Avid Xpress DV and Xpress Pro systems are each available through the BorisFX worldwide reseller channel or direct through BorisFX for $795 US SRP or purchase both solutions for $1,295 US SRP. Xpress DV or Xpress Pro users who own Red or BCC AVX, can purchase FEC AVX for $595 US SRP. Avid Media Composer Adrenaline, Symphony Nitris, Meridien and Avid DS users can purchase FEC AVX for $1995 US SRP. Adrenaline, Nitris, Meridien, and DS users who own Red or BCC AVX, can purchase FEC AVX for $1595 US SRP.
