Latest Announcement: Silhouette 2023 Now Ready for Use
In an exciting development for the world of visual effects, Boris FX has unveiled the latest version of its Silhouette VFX software - Silhouette 2023. This new release offers several significant enhancements, focusing on advanced compositing, machine learning integration, and workflow improvements.
Silhouette 2023 introduces AI-powered features to automate rotoscoping, object tracking, and keying processes, reducing manual work substantially. One of the key additions is the Stability Node, a dedicated node to stabilise shaky footage within the node-based workflow, improving tracking and compositing accuracy.
The Grain Management Nodes are another notable feature, allowing artists to analyse and manage film grain precisely, enabling seamless integration of elements. The Primatte Node, incorporating Primatte technology, offers cleaner and more precise green screen keying.
Enhanced support for expressions within the node graph allows for procedural and dynamic control over effects and parameters, enabling more complex and flexible setups. The Compositing & VFX Nodes have been updated with Sapphire 2023.5, Mocha Pro 2023, Particle Illusion 2023, and select Continuum 2023 nodes, offering a more efficient VFX workflow with new blending modes, colour correction tools, and 3D compositing capabilities.
Silhouette 2023 is available as a standalone application and an Adobe/OFX plugin, catering to a wide range of users. A free trial of the software is available for download, and more information can be found on the product page. Purchase options include annual/monthly subscriptions, upgrade & support plans, and a perpetual license. If you're already a customer with an active subscription or upgrade & support plan, Silhouette 2023 is a free update.
A spring sale is currently offering a 25% discount on a single purchase of Silhouette 2023, valid until April 28th, midnight PDT. For those interested in buying, the purchase link is provided.
For detailed information about these features as implemented specifically in Silhouette 2023, it is recommended to consult official Silhouette VFX release notes or their website. The current search results focus largely on Silhouette cutting machines and Silhouette Studio tutorials unrelated to the advanced compositing software update in 2023.

With its focus on machine learning integration, advanced compositing capabilities, and workflow improvements, Silhouette 2023 is set to revolutionise the visual effects industry, making complex tasks more manageable and enhancing the overall creative process.
Artificial-intelligence integrations in Silhouette 2023 automate various processes like rotoscoping, object tracking, and keying, significantly reducing manual work.
