Boris FX Introduces Sapphire 2023, Offering Cutting-Edge Visual Effects
In the world of video editing and post-production, Boris FX's Sapphire plugin suite continues to be a go-to tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike. The latest iteration, Sapphire 2023, is now available for a wide range of hosting applications, including Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Autodesk Flame, Blackmagic Resolve, Foundry Nuke, and VEGAS Pro.
The Sapphire 2023 plugin suite offers a monthly subscription for all hosts priced at $112, and for individual hosts, it's $62. For those seeking a more long-term commitment, an annual subscription is available for all hosts at $895, and for individual hosts, it's $495. For those who prefer a permanent license, the cost is $2795 for all hosts and $1695 for individual hosts.
One of the standout features in Sapphire 2023 is the S_PrismLens effect, which replicates shooting through a physical glass prism to create cinematic and dreamy looks. The effect includes three initial styles: single, linear, and circular, and users can modify lens shape, use built-in Mocha to track and isolate effects, and add finishing touches such as glows, lights, and chromatic aberrations.
Another highly-regarded feature is the S_UltraGrain effect, which is fast, flexible, and natural. It helps compositors accurately match film stocks and modern camera noise to produce seamless results between different footage formats and CG elements. The effect comes with 79 presets based on Hollywood's favourite film stocks as well as modern production cameras.
Sapphire's most widely-used transition, S_DissolveUltraGlow, has also received an update with enhanced features, including an optical-based glow, highlight and atmospheric noise parameters, and 14 presets.
