Hi Tom,

I think what you will find is that the keys and matte filters that are included in BCC 8 AVX and Avid FX 6 are about the same. The difference is how you interact with media in the Avid timeline.

With Avid FX, you apply a single instance of Avid FX filter to the clip, then stack filters to generate the result, essentially compositing within the timeline, and then you apply the result back to he timeline and continue editing. With BCC, you are keying within the Avid FX timeline. You can stack BCC filters in the timeline using the built-in multi-filter tool, which is in every filter in BCC. You can also retain all of the alpha information in a clip with BCC filters, using the built-in apply to title matte function.

I don’t think there is anything that DFT can do that BCC cannot to, however, there are many things, such as the title matte and multi-filter effects to name a few, that can be done with BCC that are no possible with DFT. I’d suggest downloading the trial from our web site to see if it works for you before you make your purchase.

I hope this helps.

Peter.

Yep. Just press the U key (Mac) or shift and U (Win) on your keyboard and you will notice that the icon for the generate thumbnails button will display a minus sign next to it. Click the button while it’s in this state and you will ungenerate the thumbnail previews.

Cheers,

Peter.

Hi,

We are still committed to including the BCC Optical Image Stabilizer with BCC 8 OFX for Sony Vegas Pro. We made a decision to pull it from the release at the last minute to engineer a last minute fix for a problem that we observed when using the filter with fielded media. The plan moving forward is that we’ll issue a free update, hopefully within the next week or two, which will include this filter.

Cheers,

Peter.

Okay … the trial licenses should be all set now and should be sent automatically.

Thanks again for letting us know about this.

Cheers,

Peter.

It’s a little old so the UI is slightly different but the concept is the same.

I hope this helps.

Hi Jeppe,

One way to do this would be to use the Corner Pin Tracker, setting it up so that two of the points are locked to the text and two of the points are on the surfer. The pinned element is the line between the surfer and the text.

Cheers,

Peter.
