What is the oldest text animation effect in film history? You guessed right: the credit roll. Traditionally, a long page of text is rolled from the bottom of the screen revealing line after line. In the early days of cinematography, a paper print was physically rolled before the film camera to produce this effect. Hence the name: Credit Roll.

A complete set of tools for creating credit rolls is included with Boris Graffiti, Boris RED, and Boris Blue. The same functionality is available in Boris Calligraphy which is bundled with Apple Final Cut Pro and Apple Final Cut Express and Boris Title Toolkit which is available for Adobe After Effects.

I've added DE:Noise to our demo downloads, so you can take it out for a test drive. There are two flavors: one for After Effects compatible (including Premiere Pro, Combustion, Eyeon Digital Fusion and Boris Red) and one FxPlug for Final Cut Pro and Motion.

Download some demos!

DE:Noise handles spurious frame-to-frame defects ranging from fine digital and electronic noise to blotchy spots (e.g. dirt on the film). DE:Noise combines proprietary motion estimation (optical flow) techniques with feature-sensitive, edge-preserving spatial filtering methods to reduce the visual impact of various problems such as: noisy video (that can happen with low-light capture), excessive film grain, CG renders affected by ray-tracing sampling artifacts, fingerprints and dust captured during film scan/transfer and printing, snow, drop-outs and many other defects.

Features of DE:Noise

• Pre-processing contrast controls to help enhance the noise for easier elimination.
• Smart spatial filtering controls that allow for the spatial smoothing of noise without smoothing over important features in the image sequence.
• 8 different temporal filtering methods that uses motion estimation (via optical flow) to correlate images over time in order to reduce noise and other artifacts.
• Post-processing to help punch up the result or to undo the preprocessing contrast enhancement.
• Post sharpening option for when the denoising process makes the result softer than desired.
• 8 bits per channel (bpc) support within Premiere Pro, up to 16bpc support in Autodesk Combustion and Eyeon Fusion, and unclamped floating point support in After Effects, Apple Final Cut Pro and Apple Motion.

Availability and compatibility
RE:Vision Effects DE:Noise is available as an After Effects-compatible plugin for Adobe After Effects 5 and up, Adobe Premiere Pro 2 and up, Autodesk Combustion 3 and up and eyeon Digital Fusion/DFX+ 4.04e and eyeon Fusion/Vision 5 and up. DE:Noise is available as an FxPlug plug-in for Final Cut Pro 6 and up, or Motion 3 and up.

Pricing

• Full versions are priced at $149.95. SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE OF $99.95 through Sept 30, 2007. After Effects and Compatible host | FxPlug version for Apple Final Cut Pro and Motion
• Render-only licenses are priced at $29.99. Render only licenses are for use with After Effects', combustion's and Fusion's render-only programs (aerender, backburner, and Render-Slave respectively) and the render-only version of Fusion. Note that the render-only licenses only work on projects written with a full license (so you must have at least one full license for the render-only licenses to be valid).

Effections "regular" for After Effects, Premiere Pro, combustion, Final Cut Pro is now priced at $889.95 (formerly $849.95).

Kevin McCauliffe at DMN reviews Boris RED 4.1. Kevin says "I have to admit, I went into looking at Boris RED a little skeptical, and walked away almost speechless. RED is an excellent product that every editor should have to complement Motion 3. With Motion's new 3D capabilities, and the effects and graphical WOW of Boris RED, any editor with Final Cut Studio will be able to put a smile on even the most particular client's face."
