Published by Michele Yamazaki on April 29th, 2009 - in After Effects

BCC6 FXPlug Beta

A public beta of BCC 6 FxPlug for Apple Pro Video Applications is now available!

BCC 6 FxPlug brings over 200 filters to Apple Final Cut Pro, Motion, and Final Cut Express. In addition to new features included with the recently-released BCC 6 AE for Adobe – such as Extruded Text, Splines, and Shapes – BCC 6 FxPlug takes advantage of Apple FxPlug’s real-time architecture for simultaneous live previews of dozens of preset transitions, glows, and color and film look effects in a newly-designed effects browser window. Code-named “Popcorn”, this new technology delivers the best of Boris on Apple’s FxPlug platform.

Have feedback regarding the Public Beta? Please e-mail publicbeta@borisfx.com

Note: Customers who purchase BCC 5 FxPlug or BCC 5 AVX now will receive a free upgrade to Version 6 when it is available.

Tutorial: Getting Started with FreeForm AE

Published by Michele Yamazaki on April 29th, 2009 - in After Effects

Try the new plug-in from Digieffects, FreeForm AE. It’s an After Effects plug-in that allows you to distort layers in 3D space.

The tutorial shows you how to make a sail look like it’s being inflated by the wind. Alicia VanHuelen of Toolfarm creates a very cool Viking ship in AE and manipulates the sail and water with FreeForm AE. Digieffects FreeForm AE is still on sale for $100 off through Thrusday (NAB Special extended).

If you’re stopping by for the first time, or you’re just wondering what the fugly weeds and berries in the banner are all about, it’s a template preset that we didn’t have time to snaz up before NAB. Harry, Topher and I will all be giving the site a nice makeover in the next couple of weeks. The functionality is perfect at least ;-)
