Visual Effects Filters and Transitions for Apple Final Cut Pro and Motion
One of the first plug-in packages released for Adobe After Effects, the heart of Final Effects Complete is its ability to generate full-featured two-dimensional and three-dimensional particle animations including ball action, explosions, distortions, jet trails, hair, liquid mercury distortions, spotlights, and color transitions.
Highlights
FEC 5 takes full advantage of many technologies found in Boris Continuum Complete. Features such as PixelChooser, Motion Tracker, Preset Loader and Online Documentation – hallmarks of BCC filters – are now included with FEC, too.
New UI
The new modernized native parameter UI sports new control groups, contextual controls, on-screen widgets, custom controls and many other improvements. All parameter options are now readily available as native parameters without a need to open modal dialog windows.
16 Bit Rendering
FEC 5 includes both 8 and 16 bit filters for highest quality image processing.
MP Acceleration
All filters have been optimized from the original version to take full advantage of multi core and multi processor computing platforms. The overall speedup varies from filter to filter.
PixelChooser Technology
Most FEC 5 filters feature the award-winning Boris PixelChooser where appropriate. PixelChooser is an internal method of selectively applying the image processing to the image based on criteria defined by the user. The criteria may vary from color channel information to simple geometric shapes to spline-based masks available in After Effects. This method is superior to layer duplication and masking because it is more flexible and efficient. The mask can be applied to various stages of pre and post processing. The parts of the image not chosen by the mask remain untouched by the filter.
Multitude Of Standard Presets
As any Boris product FEC 5 ships with over 800 pre-saved presets for quick new looks. Custom presets can be saved and shared between multiple workstations and even emailed to other users.
Extensive Filter Enhancements
FEC 5 adds new features and improvements to every one of the 108 filters in the set.
Highlights include:
- Auto-animation in many of the transitions
- Extensive new controls in FEC Hair such as the ability to generate curly hair instead of just straight hair as well as the ability to modulate the gravity direction across the image based on a gradient map
- New FEC Bubbles controls for drift direction, particle randomness, and source texture mapping pinning. In addition, FEC Bubbles now includes a Deflector point to create regions with no bubbles.
- Much better lighting controls in Mr Mercury, Blobblylize, Glue Gun, Glass, and Ball Action
- Two new particle types in Particle Systems II – Advanced Sphere and Advanced Lens. These new particle types allow you to generate different looking spheres with more extensive lighting control.
- New bend styles added to the FEC Bender menu
