Peter, it seems I can’t leave you alone but I have one more question.
I am in a situation where now I can’t used my built-in effects on Sapphire since I created them on v1 and now I have v2.

So I’m thinking to just use only Boris from now on and really take a deeper look on what the Boris effects can do.

Do you know of any good Boris Cd tutorial where they actually show you with examples all kind of effects and combination for a wide range of TV needs and styles? Obviously they more affordable tutorials are preferable. 🙂

Hi Pedro,

Please feel free to contact me about any of the product that we make as many times as you need to. I don’t see this as a burden and am happy to provide assistance whenever I can.

So if you want some free stuff, just go to our web site and go to the tutorials section borisfx.com/tutorials and then click on anything that has Continuum in front of it, regardless of the host, and you’ll see how many of the effects work. I’m certain you’ll discover things that you never knew existed in the product that will be an enormous help in your effects creation work.

Then there are a couple of training DVD’s, which you can see by going here: borisfx.com/training/dvd.php – we sell them of course and I think they are under $100 each. There is one specifically designed for using BCC in Avid.

I hope this helps.

Peter.

Thanks a lot Peter for your great inputs.

Let me ask you a practical situation I often face at work. Sometimes I’m looking at a cut and I like to create a new transition, something I never come up with before.
I don’t really know what I want but I know I like to create something creative and sophisticated.

How will one know what kind of transitional combinations we can have with boris? Is there a tutorial where we can see a few examples of cool transitions other than the basic ones it offers on the transition folder?

I had combined Boris and Sapphire all this time because I still can’t figure out a way that I can use only one of them and get all I need. For example I find Sapphire more complete with built in effects for transitions and Boris more complete for other stuff. But I believe they both can give us a full range of posibilities, though is hard to see it without some examples up front. Do the paid dvd’s offer that range of combinations and examples?

Do I make any sense?

Hi Pedro,

It’s been a while since I had a look at the DVD’s that we have available so I’m completely sure what they offer in terms of previews or ideas for transition effects. The only information that we have up on our web site in this regard is this age:

https://www.borisfx.com/product/continuum/avid/wipe_transitions.php

I think you should be able to find plenty of interesting wipe effects using a combination of both BCC and the built-in wipes that ship with the vid product. We’re always updating our filter set with new effects and also have the FEC product, which includes many interesting and unique wipes for Avid systems. Here’s a link where you can check that out:

https://www.borisfx.com/product/final_effects/avx/

All of our products have a free 15 day trial version so if you want to try the FEC wipes just download the product and install it onto a system. After the 15 day trial period, the filters will generate an X over the viewer until the filters are unlocked with a license key.

I hope this helps.

Peter.
