Boris FX Continuum 2019 Plug-ins for Adobe (v.12.5.0.0)

Particle Illusion

• The legendary Particle Illusion engine is now directly integrated into Continuum as a new plugin in the Particles category.
• Easy-to-use OpenGL-based 2D particle system
• Template-driven workflow, with over 2000 templates covering classic particle effects plus creative and abstract effects.
• Plugin integration in latest versions of AE, Premiere, Avid, Resolve, and Vegas hosts.
• Full Particle Illusion UI available directly from the plugin with custom UI for template selection, parameter adjustment, and keyframing.
• 64 bit app with support for latest operating systems
• Modern UI
• Hi-DPI/Retina monitor support
• Floating point rendering precision and HDR support
• Enhanced emitter library search function
• Reorganized and curated emitter libraries
• No limit on number of loaded emitter libraries
• Continuum preset/FX Browser support for reviewing/exchanging/loading PI settings at the PI project level (as opposed to the emitter library template level). Supports seamless exchange of settings between different hosts and operating systems.
• Native UI transforms for easy animation via native keyframes or expressions (including accurate combined World+Emitter animation).
• Mocha Motion Tracker integration for easy tracking of camera or emitter motion (including accurate combined World+Emitter tracking).
• Mocha PixelChooser integration for easy mask tracking.

Title Studio

• Image Processing Shaders - Add super fast GPU accelerated effects such as Light Rays, Blur, Glow, Spiral Blur, Prism Blur, Light Sweep, or Gradients directly inside the Title Studio UI for richly featured yet quick rendering text templates. Check out the presets in Title Studio’s Image Processors group for examples of what can be achieved.
• Grids and Guides - Align text with ease and accuracy using new adjustable grid and guide overlays.
• 8K+ support - All 3D Objects filters now support resolutions up to 8K by default with the option to go even higher on capable GPUs.
• On-Screen Text Tool - Edit text directly in the Composition pane of the Title Studio UI by selecting the Text Tool “T” interactor.
• On-Screen Text Box - Adjust text position and scale directly on screen via the new on-screen text box. This eliminates the need to use the control panel for these adjustments and makes tweaking text position and scaling faster and more accurate.
• Faster playback - Playback of timelines inside the Title Studio UI are now much faster.
• Improved Material Style Pallet - Improved browsing plus 400+ new/improved material styles.
• New Custom Textures - 160+ new/improved custom textures.
• Updated UI Look and Feel
• Hundreds of new presets

Mocha

• New Parameter-driven Mocha Motion Tracker Module - You can now use the power of Mocha’s planar tracking engine to drive point picker parameters directly within Continuum. There are now two ways to launch Mocha in Continuum filters. If you use the Mocha / Mask Track button in the PixelChooser you will find the same masking integration you are familiar with from previous versions of Continuum. But if you use the Mocha Motion Tracker button inside the “Motion Tracker / Mocha” group you will get a view optimized for extracting geometric data such as position as opposed to masks. This allows you to drive point locations such as lens flares or particle emitters powered by the same Mocha planar tracking engine under the hood.
• Mocha Essentials UI - Mocha now offers a set of UI workspace options to let you choose the UI experience that best suits the task at hand. It opens up by default in the new Essentials mode which presents a simpler UI layout - perfect for standard tracking tasks. The original Mocha UI with all the bells and whistles is still available by choosing the Classic workspace from the menu on the top along with Roto and Big Picture workspaces.
• Mocha Magnetic and Freehand Drawing Tools - New Magnetic spline tools will automatically snap to contours in the image making it vastly quicker to roto complex objects. The new Freehand drawing tools also allow freehand tracing of masks for quick loose masking.
• Mocha Primitive Shape Tools - New Circular and Rectangular tools for simple creation of primitive shape masks.
• Mocha UI Enhancements - Full support for High DPI monitors on windows and improved Retina support on Mac along with numerous additional UI enhancements.
• HDR (float bitdepth) Support in Premiere.
• Full support for Premiere’s HDR rendering pipeline.

• External Broadcast Reference Monitor Support Mirror Title Studio and FX Browser UI previews directly to broadcast reference monitors.

• Cleaner Parameter Layout
• Simplified UI layout with hidden legacy parameter groups.

• Numerous other tweaks and fixes
