Hello,
Have you tried using the Particle System filter in RED? This can generate the look that you are searching for.
Apple the filter to a clip, then you can set the particle shape to Bubbles and tweak the filter parameters to generate the soap bubbles.
I hope this helps.

Hi Carl,
Can you please provide us with a series of steps to reproduce this issue? We’ve tried it on several MP systems and have not been able to reproduce it here. If you have an AEP file (without external media) that will generate this error message that would be great too. If you could please send either the written steps or the zipped AEP file directly to me at this address I’d very much appreciate it. Here’s my email address:
Thanks,
Peter.

Hi Carl,
We’ll take a look to see if we can reproduce this issue in house. Meanwhile I’ll pass this information on to the engineering team to see if they know anything about this.
Cheers,
Peter.

Hello,
BCC is currently available in 4 host API versions:
BCC AE – for hosts that use the After Effects API (AE, RED)
BCC AVX – for all Avid hosts
BCC FxPlug – for all Apple hosts (FCP, Motion)
BCC Sparks – for all Autodesk Systems hosts (Flame, Smoke etc)If you are using BCC 5 from within Boris RED then you need to use the BCC AE installer, regardless of the host that you are plugging RED into.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Peter.

Hi Marty,
Did you purchase the system from a dealer? If so then they should have a record of the Boris FX software sale and can get a new serial number for you. As long as there is a paper trail showing proof of purchase then you should be fine. You’ll need to get installers for the Boris FX software along with serial numbers for the same in order to reinstall on your system. The only way you will receive this from Boris FX is if you can present proof of purchase of the plug-ins.
I hope this helps,
Peter.

Open the web page in a browser, then choose file>save as and you will be able to save the file locally as a web archive.

Hi,
We are able to reproduce the issue and will institute a fix for this with a forthcoming point release.
Meanwhile, you can find the exported flash file at the root level of the hard drive – the problem is with the destination and RED seems to be ignoring the user specified destination for the export and saves it to the root level of the HD instead.
Regarding support for XDcam HD … we’ll look into it and see if this is something that we can do with a point release.
Cheers,
Peter.

Hi Omer,
Unfortunately the Vegas host does not pass alternate video frames to the Boris product so there is no way for you to use the Motion Tracking feature within the Vegas host timeline.
One alternative is to export the portion of the clip that you want to use for tracking, then use Boris RED in standalone mode to perform the tracking function, apply the effect and then render out a video clip. The rendered video can then be reimported back into Vegas.
I hope this helps.
Peter.

Hi Amanda,
I’m not exactly sure why that didn’t work for you but here’s something to try.
That transition effect uses an older (and now obsolete) filter named “Luma Pixel Noise” to generate the “Snow”. I would suggest replacing the 3 instances of this filter in the AvidFX / RED timeline with the newer version of the filter which is named “RGB Pixel Noise”. Once you have added the filter you’ll need a couple of tweaks to create the effect. Match the animation values of the Percentage and Noise parameters in the RGB Pixel Noise filter to those that are in the Luma Pixel Noise filter. Also, don’t forget to enable the checkbox labeled Luma Noise in the RGB Pixel Noise main tab. I think that should generate the result that you are looking for.
Cheers,
Peter.
