Product description

• Sapphire 2019 for Adobe/OFX (Annual Subscription, Download) Boris FX Sapphire 2019 for Adobe/OFX features 200+ advanced and highly stylized effects, transitions, and looks and over 3000 presets for all aspects of your films and videos. Combining everything from the individual Sapphire 2019 Units, Sapphire 2019 provides large collections of Adjust, Blur and Sharpen, Distort, Lighting, Render, Stylize, and Transitions filters. Many of these are considered must-haves in the film, TV, and commercial production industries, with the Lighting effects perhaps the most widely relied on.
  
  This bundle Annual Subscription provides you with upgrades to the latest release of Sapphire 2019 for Adobe/OFX for one year. It can be renewed every year.
  
  The entire package is resolution-independent and can be used on footage in any format, including 8K and above. All effects also use full floating-point processing for improved image quality and full 32-bit HDR support.
  
  Sapphire 2019 also integrates the Academy Award-winning Mocha planar tracking and masking engine right into the interface. You can now launch Mocha right from within most of the included effects and create and track a mask. Mocha offers multiple ways of applying masks, including simple isolation and full rotoscoping.
  
  Sapphire 2019 for Adobe/OFX includes the sophisticated Sapphire Builder, which allows you to create and save your own complex custom effects using a simple workflow. The Builder is a node-based effect compositor where you can create from scratch, stack and connect other effects/transitions, and control every aspect of an effect using extensive parameter sets and numerous on-screen widgets. The Builder is filtered by common tasks, such as "color-correction" and "lighting," rather than by effect name, for much easier browsing.
  
  There are multiple new features and enhancements in Sapphire 2019 such as LensFlare, FlareDesigner, Pixelsort, WhipLash transition, and Mocha enhancements such as four new spline tools, a new look and feel, and retina and high-DPI monitor support. Also improved are the Effect and Transition Builder and enhanced GPU speed.

  New Features

  Mocha Planar Tracking & Masking
  • Sapphire 2019 features updates to the Mocha planar tracking and masking tool such as four new spline tools, a new look and feel with the Mocha Essentials workspace, and adds retina and high-DPI monitor support. Mocha is integrated right into the interface, and you can launch Mocha right from within most of the included effects and create and track a mask. Mocha offers multiple ways of applying masks, including simple isolation and full rotoscoping.
  Performance Improvements & Effect Enhancements
  • GPU acceleration has been improved to increase overall speed and performance and has been optimized for CUDA-enabled NVIDIA cards. Sapphire 2019 has also updated the LensFlare effect, the Flare Designer, and the Effect and Transition Builder.
  PixelSort (New)
  • PixelSort is a new Sapphire effect that grew up in the modern digital "glitch art" movement. It's a fun new way to distort your image in a multitude of different ways and features many deep parameters to produce some stunning results. PixelSort is also available inside Sapphire Effect and Transition builder. Combine it with other Sapphire effects for a truly original effect, and use it as a transition to up production value in any edit.
  WhipLash (New)
  • Sapphire WhipLash is a "sister effect" to one of the most popular Sapphire transitions, SwishPan. It has some amazing new functionality and features that will undoubtedly make it the Sapphire transition of choice. At its core, WhipLash is a new transition that mimics a lighting quick camera pan, blending multiple copies of an image together so it appears as if a great distance is traveled in a short amount of time. WhipLash also features a soft bounce stop, a smooth finish, or a snapback at the end of the transition. RGB separation blurs can be added for a different look and WhipLash can travel in any direction or angle as well as scaling up or down.

  All Effects

  Adjust

  Monochrome
  • Generates a monochrome version of the source clip using adjustable weights for the red, green, and blue channels. This can simulate the use of a color filter applied to the lens of a black and white camera. For example, use more red weight to darken blue sky areas of the input. The weights are scaled so they sum to 1 before being used to reduce overall brightness changes when they are adjusted.
  ClampChroma
  • Reduces the chrominance of the input clip if necessary so it is not above a specified maximum. This effect can be used to make broadcast-safe colors. It can also be used to scale the chrominance, clamp the luminance, or scale the luminance.
  Tint
  • Tints the dark and light regions of the input clip towards given colors. The dark colors are tinted by the Tint Dark color, and the brighter colors are tinted by the Tint Lights color.
  Threshold
  • Sets the color channels of the source clip to Full On or Full Off using a given softness and threshold. This can be used to increase the contrast of each color channel independently.
  ShowBadColors
  • Identifies all pixels that fall outside a given color range, and flags them with the same color so they can be seen easily.
  QuadTone
  • Performs an interpolation between four specified colors using the brightness of the source clip.
  TriTone
  • Performs an interpolation between three specified colors using the brightness of the source clip.
  Invert
  • Inverts the colors of the source clip, so black becomes white, and white becomes black. This can optionally also invert luma, chroma, RGB and alpha channels independently and do some basic color correction on the inverted result.
  HueSatBright
  • Adjusts the hue, saturation, brightness, and/or offset of the input clip.
  HotSpots
  • Generates a hotspot image containing areas of the source clip brighter than a given threshold. The colors of the hotspots should match the original source. This can be used for increasing contrast or finding the bright areas of a clip, but without changing the color saturation or hue of the result.
  Gamma
  • Applies a gamma correction to the input clip. The red, green, and blue channels can be adjusted independently. From Gamma just causes the inverse effect of adjusting Gamma.
  DuoTone
  • Performs an interpolation between two specified colors using the brightness of the source clip.
  ChannelSwitcher
  • Reorders the RGBA channels of the source clip. Allows mapping any source channel into any output channel, with scaling and offset for each output channel.

  Blur and Sharpen

  RackDefocus
  • Simulate a real, defocused camera lens and preserve delicate highlights.
  Beauty
  • Apply smoothing, de-aging, color correction, soft focus, and glow to skin regions.

  Deband
  • Smooth out a clip by removing banding artifacts and diffusing pixels across the banded areas.
  GrainRemove
  • Smooths the source clip while retaining the edges.
  SoftFocus
  • Combines a blurred version of the source with the original to give a soft focus effect.
  Median
  • Applies a median filter to the source image, useful for cleaning up isolated spots and noise.
  DefocusPrism
  • Defocuses the color channels of the source clip into rings of different widths.
  BlurMoCurves
  • Performs a motion blur and optionally transforms the source clip using the animated curves of the Z Dist, Rotate, and Shift parameters. If these parameters are constant, no motion blur will occur.
  BlurDirectional
  • Blurs the source clip in a given direction using a gaussian, triangle, or box filter. It can also blur each channel by different amounts.
  BlurChroma
  • Separates the source into luminance and chrominance components, blurs the chrominance and/or the luminance independently, and recombines them. You can also scale the luma and chroma independently to enhance or remove either.
  BlurChannels
  • Blurs each channel of the source clip by an arbitrary amount using a gaussian, triangle, or box filter.

  Distort

  Distort
  • Warp the source clip to generate optical glass-like effects.
  Shake
  • Shake your video on the x, y, and z axis in three different styles: twitchy, jumpy, and standard.
  WarpChroma
  • Separate your footage into multi-colored bands and warp them by different amounts.
  WarpMagnify
  • Magnifies an elliptical region of the source to create a glass lens refraction effect.
  WarpVortex
  • Twists the source clip into a vortex around a given center location.
  WarpWaves
  • Warps the source clip by a wave pattern.

  WarpRepeat
  • Transforms the source input multiple times and averages the results.
  WarpPuff
  • Warps the source clip based on its gradient.
  WarpBubble
  • Warps the source clip by a smooth noise function. This can be used to create heat diffusion or under water types of effects.

  Lighting

  LensFlare (Updated)
  • Generate photorealistic and stylized lens flares or build your own custom flare. LensFlare and the Flare Designer are redesigned and reimagined. The Flare Designer is improved and enhanced to increase the ease of use and expand its functionality. The preset browser is now integrated directly inside the Flare Designer, making accessing and modifying lens flare presets a breeze. A new lens flare "component" workflow allows artists to easily and intuitively build a complex flare from scratch and helps reveal the power and flexibility of Sapphire's flare engine. Finally, 27 new professionally designed presets have been added.

  • The updated interface makes Mocha easier to learn than ever before and looks great on hi-res and retina enabled monitors. The Mocha Essentials Workspace brings the power of Mocha to novice-level users with a simplified, elegant, and easy-to-learn interface. Tracking and masking is now faster by reducing complexity and focusing the Mocha interface on the most essential icons and tools. Switch to Classic for advanced modules and customize workspaces for flexibility.
  New GPU-Accelerated Object Removal (New)
  • Mochas Remove Module has been rewritten to optimize GPU video hardware for up to 4-5x render speed improvements on removals and clean plating projects. For high-resolution 4K projects and 360/VR video resolutions, the resulting speed improvement is a massive time-saver.
  360/VR Post Production Toolkit (New)
  • Mocha Pro 2019 now includes all of Mocha VR's features for mono/stereoscopic 360 effects and finishing such as stereo 360 planar tracking and masking, a unique spherical 360 workspace, horizon stabilization and reorient, new and improved GPU-accelerated object removal as well as stereoscopic masking tools such as anaglyph view, L/H hero mode, and lens workflow for equirectangular to flattened conversions.

  Features

  Planar Tracking
  • The renowned Mocha planar tracking has now been updated for speed and efficiency with GPU tracking and plug-in options. Planar tracking is at the heart of all Mocha Pro modules and is used to drive 2D and 3D tracking, roto-masking, object removal, and more. Unlimited tracking layers and advanced AdjustTrack interface can handle reflections, occlusions, noise, even areas with motion blur or low details.
  Advanced Roto Tools (Updated)
  • X-spline and Bezier tools are designed to quickly create and edit detailed roto shapes, and Mocha Pro 2019 now has new Magnetic and Freehand Spline tools. When linked to Mocha's planar tracking, roto shapes inherit motion and perspective, dramatically reducing manual keyframe work. Advanced tools for shape editing include per-point edge feathering, join layers tool, transform tool, group layers, and more.
  Object Removal (Updated)
  • The Remove Module is an advanced alternative to traditional clone and paint techniques for getting rid of unwanted pixels and removing objects, and it's now even faster with GPU rendering. It automatically detects and blends pixels from other frames with little user input, offering massive time savings. Mocha Pro's clean plate functionality imports and corrects fixed frames for digital beauty work and matte painting.
  Insert Module
  • The Insert Module allows you to render an image onto your tracked surface within Mocha Pro or back to your host timeline with the available plug-in options. Composite with realistic motion blur or render out the tracked insert. A powerful mesh warp distortion tool allows the user to wrap and bend inserts onto non-flat surfaces. The Insert Module combines with the Lens Module for realistic VFX compositing on distorted footage.
  Lens Module
  • This simple and easy-to-use interface allows users to calibrate the distortion introduced by camera lenses. Unwanted lens distortion can be removed or matched for realistic compositing. Export lens data or render correction using available plug-in options.
  3D Camera Solver
  • Solve 3D match moving capabilities with planar ease. Unlike feature based tracking, Mocha solves the 3D camera based on user-selected planes. This fast and easy-to-use solution is ideal for set extensions, 3D text, and particle tracking. Additionally, the 3D Solver can be used to assist other 3D tracking applications on difficult shots with low detail or significant foreground occlusions.
  Stabilize Module
  • The stabilize module can lock down camera motion or stabilize moving objects for visual effects and finishing work. A smooth option with selectable anchor frames helps reduce high-frequency jitters while maintaining original camera motion. Center, scale, or crop stabilized footage based on user driven planar tracking.
