Available from Videoguys for $749.95, we recommend Continuum Complete AVX as a must-have tool for any Avid editing system. Read on to learn how BCC AVX 4 can transform your Avid Xpress Pro editing system into a compositing/effects powerhouse...

PixelChooser
The PixelChooser is a unique masking tool integrated into most BCC AVX filters. Region controls define the area of the image to affect, while Matte controls let you use the image's chroma and luma to control the intensity of the effect. BCC AVX 4 adds a new PixelChooser option which allows you to define a region by drawing a vector shape onscreen with bézier handles for more precise control.



Presets
BCC AVX includes hundreds of presets so that you can begin creating effects immediately. Each preset can be rendered as is or used as a starting point for a custom effect. Easily save any effect you create as a custom preset with any filter or transition.

Applying an Effect to an Avid Title or Matte Key
Applying an effect to an Avid Title or Matte Key without affecting the background video is as simple as applying the filter and clicking a single checkbox.



Integrated Motion Tracking
Motion Tracking is integrated into all appropriate BCC AVX 4 effects. For example, track a logo on a t-shirt, then obscure the logo with a blur.

Advanced High Quality Keying
BCC AVX offers Chroma Key, Matte Choking, and Alpha Process for precise, clean keys.



Stack Multiple Filters on Keyed Elements or Titles
The new Multi-filter feature enables more precise keying and expands the range of effects by providing an easy workflow for applying multiple filters that only affect a foreground element rather than the entire video frame.

Filters for Sophisticated Blending of Layers
Composite, RGB Blend, and Boost Blend enable a wide variety of image blending effects based on Apply Modes. You can easily combine Apply Modes, animate between them, and mix back to the original image to create a wide variety of looks.



Time Based Effects
BCC AVX uses the Avid AVX 2.0 API which allows for the creation of time-based effects such as realistic motion blur and smoothly ramping motion effects. The Time filters include Motion Key, which is based on proprietary optical flow technology first introduced in BCC AVX's Optical Flow and Motion Blur filters. The Motion Key isolates and removes moving foreground objects from a clip without the need for complex masking or cloning.



A Wide Range of Powerful Filtering, Distorting, and Generating Capabilities
Use BCC AVX to Tint, Tone, Blur, Glow, Distort, and Transform video images. Add Light Rays, Film Grain and Scratches, Lens Flares, Rain, or Snow. Remove unwanted Noise, Grain, or Scratches; precisely adjust Light and Color levels, and smoothly Deinterlace video and simulate the motion of film. Image filtering effects can be selectively applied using PixelChooser masking and Apply Modes. BCC AVX 4 effects include:

* Color Effects
* Blurs
* Distortion and Perspective
* Film Effects
* Glows
* Generators
* Light Rays
* Lens Flare
* Wipe Transitions

Boris Continuum Complete 4

over 150 filters for editing and compositing

Continuum Complete extends the capabilities of NLE and compositing applications with over 160 effects. With an intuitive native host interface and support for multi-processor and OpenGL acceleration, users can quickly create sophisticated multi-layer composites with robust tools for keying, lighting, color, and even temporal effects.

Continuum Complete filters and transitions apply and animate directly in the native host interface. Sophisticated filters include Lens Flare, Glint, Glare, DeGrain, Match Grain, DeNoise, DeInterlace, Optical Flow, Motion Key, Motion Blur, Glow, Wire Remover, and Witness Protection. Continuum Complete offers powerful integration features including built-in motion tracking and unique PixelChooser technology that creates region- or channel-based masks. Hundreds of presets and integrated online help provide precise effects creation with minimal learning curve.

Continuum Complete 4 provides a powerful and complementary feature set for host applications. Whenever possible, custom integration provides specific benefits to each host. For example, in Apple Final Cut Pro, you can apply BCC as a generator, filter or transition; static generators play in real time on supported systems. The Adobe After Effects Production Bundle and Autodesk Combustion both support 16-bit-per-channel media. After Effects users can use AE masks within the PixelChooser masking tool. A single license of Continuum Complete can be installed into all supported hosts on a system.
