    Just about to make the plunge into FCP but question what plugins folks recommend.

    The two options are GenArts Saphire or Boris Continuum Complete.

    We would need to use both plugins on an AE and FCP hosts on 6 machines. Price is not an issue. I am aware of the prices and what we get for them, I am just more concerned about peoples’ experiences.

    Does one offer something you wish the other did? Do you feel one is faster or offers more flexibility? I’m not sure what questions to ask, but this is a pretty big decision for us and I would really appreciate any feedback/suggestions one may have.

    Those two are the plugin sets I use most often and like most … very hard to say which is better, but if I had to choose, I’d probably go with GenArts Sapphire. However, if I recall correctly the prices aren’t at all equal so I’m not sure it’s a fair comparison. Also not sure how one could say one plugin set is faster than another, but they’re both among the fastest, most thorough least buggy and well-maintained sets so you won’t have any issues along those lines.

    That said, it seems that which set will best suit your needs depends on your specific needs and how the specific plugins within each sets match those needs … it seems that only you can determine that so perhaps give the trial versions of each a test spin and go from there.
