What it does, concretely

Post-production professionals face repetitive and time-consuming tasks: isolating a subject, tracking a moving object, or correcting visual imperfections frame by frame. Boris FX brings together several plugin suites designed to automate or speed up these operations directly within editing and compositing software.

The suite installs via the Boris FX Hub, a centralized manager that lets you download, activate, and update all plugins from one place. The tools run locally, without sending data to external servers, ensuring project confidentiality.

Sapphire offers organic visual effects and cinematic looks applicable in seconds. Continuum integrates artificial intelligence features for common tasks such as rotoscoping and tracking. Mocha Pro specializes in advanced motion tracking, while Silhouette is dedicated to rotoscoping and pixel-level paint work.

These tools are aimed at editors, compositors, colorists, and VFX artists working on professional productions in Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro. Beginners or occasional creators will find the learning curve and pricing high relative to their needs.
