Boris Continuum Complete 8 AVX for Avid DS New Feature Highlights

BCC Videoscope checks color levels at any stage of an Avid DS project, identifying and logging illegal colors. This tool ensures broadcast-legal colors of the final output or any individual element of a project.
BCC Film Glow emulates the soft feel of exposed film.
BCC Lens Flare 3D creates cinematic looks and stylish broadcast design elements.
Beat Reactor Technology is now built into many BCC AVX filters, making it easy to generate audio-driven effects such as a pulsing light, a glow, or even an image wipe that follows along with the beat of an audio track.
BCC Extruded Text is an OpenGL-accelerated 3D text generator with built-in 3D shatters and a warp deformer. Multiple 3D materials can be created from external image files featuring texture and bump maps as well as reflections. Each material can be individually saved as a preset and applied to the front, back, bevel, or extrusion surface of the text object. The text object can be further deformed and animated with a number of innovative deformers such as Bend, Taper, Twist, Shatter, Ripple, Pulse, or Curl.
BCC Extruded EPS allows editors to import and extrude Adobe Illustrator layered vector logos and graphics.
BCC Type-On Text animates extruded text in true 3D space in a type-on or type-off fashion with each letter precisely interacting with the rest of the text in 3D.
BCC Extruded Spline creates extruded objects fully-modeled with bevels and spline-based extrusion profiles.
BCC Layer Deformer warps any 2D layer in 3D space with built-in 3D shatters and bend deformers.
32-Bit Float Precision Color Rendering is now supported, offering even smoother blurs, glows, and other effects while providing the highest quality final image.
