New BCC 10 plug-ins bring integrated mocha tracking and masking, new 3D titling, and advanced finishing tools to the Avid timeline. Boston, MA, USA - Nov 2, 2015 - Boris FX , the leading developer in VFX and workflow solutions for film and video, announces Boris Continuum Complete (BCC) 10 for Avid. The recent merger between Boris FX and Imagineer Systems, the Academy Award-winning developer of mocha Planar Tracking tools, brings the two development teams together for the largest release in the company's history - delivering new tools for advanced visual effects, title design, digital beauty work, and image restoration to the Avid timeline. Among the most anticipated features, BCC 10 for Avid includes: integrated mocha technology for planar motion tracking and masking; BCC Beauty Studio, a skin smoothing and retouching plug-in; and BCC Title Studio, Boris FX's next generation 3D titling and motion graphics tool.
BCC 10 builds on our company history of developing advanced and accelerated 3D titling, effects, and finishing tools, explains Boris Yamnitsky, president and founder of Boris FX. The addition of Title Studio, Beauty Studio, mocha, new filters, and new transitions makes this our largest release to date and we are excited about early customer response. Beta testers from the Avid editing community have given us excellent feedback and we look forward to delivering BCC 10 for Adobe, Apple, Resolve, and more hosts very soon.
BCC 10 for Avid draws upon the strength of past releases to deliver the most comprehensive plug-in package for Avid editors and also includes new filters, new transitions, and a new subscription/rental option. Professional editors are already raving about new features:
For Avid editing and finishing, the integration of mocha planar tracking and masking into Continuum Complete is a game changer. Having the ability to launch the mocha interface inside Media Composer & Symphony (without the need to export, import, or launch a separate application) speeds up my workflow. Using mocha inside BCC for high-end finishing is now a viable option for Avid users!
