How AI is used

Boris FX provides a collection of specialized plugins and applications for the post-production industry. The suite includes Sapphire for cinematic lighting and flares, Continuum for content creation and image restoration, and Mocha Pro for planar tracking and rotoscoping. It also offers SynthEyes for 3D camera solving and Optics for photo editing.

These tools are designed for professional video editors, VFX artists, compositors, and motion graphics artists. The software supports tasks such as skin retouching, noise removal, 3D matchmoving, and organic warp tracking.

Many tools are available as plugins for hosts such as Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Avid Media Composer, while others function as standalone applications. Buyers should confirm that their hardware meets the GPU and RAM requirements, as AI-powered features may rely on specific NVIDIA or Apple silicon hardware for intended performance.
