Integrated 3D Compositing , Titling and Effects
Boris Red is a 3D compositing, titling and effects application that combines advanced compositing, vector titling, paint, robust 3D creation and animation, plus the industry leading DVE. Red includes all the features of Graffiti and FX then adds functionality, including standalone rendering.
Highlights
- OpenGL Hardware Acceleration - No delays adjusting sliders in the Controls Window, no delays when scrubbing in the Timeline window and no delays when interacting with objects in the Composite window - these are just a few of the benefits that OpenGL provides
- 2D and 3D Animated Charts - instantly create pie, bar, line and area charts using data generated from spreadsheets or input directly using a simple Chart Editor
- Editing of Titles on the Video Image - Just click the Composite window with the new Text tool and start typing, that’s all there is to it!
- Over 110 Video Effects Filters - Boris filters have long been known for combining ease of use, power, and exceptionally high-quality rendering. Make use of Dust and Scratches, DeNoise, Fast Blur, Glow Edges, Match Grain, DeGrain, Light Wrap, Motion Blur, Radial Blur, Spiral Blur, Wire Removal, Colourise, Cartooner, Emboss, Film Damage, Film Grain, Glow, Jitter, Light Zoom, Multi Shadow, Posterise Time, Time Displacement and many more!
- Optical Flow Technology - The Optical Flow filter uses a pixel-by-pixel time warp to create as many in-between frames as necessary for exceptionally smooth motion - Optical Flow can create output whose smoothness rivals overcranked film, even when starting with consumer-grade DV footage
- Instant Special Effects - See animated previews of every effect in the Library Browser, now quickly accessed via a button on the Boris Red timeline. Preset effects can be customised and combined with other effects, new effects can be created and added to the Library at any time
- Hardware and Software Integration - For the first time in Boris Red 3GL, video-out capabilities are also available in the standalone Boris Red Engine. Anyone with supported video hardware built into their computers, included with their NLEs or provided through third parties, can view their work in Boris Red immediately on television monitors
- Expanded 3D Effects Environment -
- Advanced Title Animation - create 2D and 3D title animation with a full range of controls over jittering, scale, position, hue, angle and more!
- Faster Renders - Depending on the specific effect, renders may be improved by an average of 30%!

3D Creativity with Real-Time Performance
Boris Blue is a 3D compositing and motion graphics solution based on the award-winning Boris Red. This standalone application provides unprecedented 3D creativity with real-time performance to accelerate your workflow. Windows XP only. Requires high end graphics card: GeForce 6800/7800 or FX 4000/45000.
Highlights
- Pixel Shaders - Create stunning looks by combining innovative "pixel shaders" to paint objects with bump maps, noise patterns or natural materials along with light reflections and 3D shadows. Adjust parameters with interactive real-time playback, including streaming video and audio
- OpenGL Vertex Shaders - Powerful OpenGL vertex shaders provide true 3D warping of 3D objects. Distort and warp 3D objects with a simple one-parameter action. Bend and twist corners or wrap extruded text around curves
- Detailed Bevels - Create highly detailed bevels on extruded objects by defining a custom curve with common spline drawing tools. You can also combine multiple curves to create unique designs or match existing requirements
- Particle Effects - Create particle effects by freehand tracing paths on screen. The powerful new 3D Particles let you use any shape as a particle while emitters can contain multiple particle types. Combine multiple shapes including 3D models to achieve a unique look or natural effects
- Importing 3D Models - Integrate with other 3D applications by importing models saved in common 3D file formats. Tap into a vast collection of shareware objects or choose from a selection of 3D models included with Boris Blue

Integrated Effects and Compositing
Boris FX is the industry standard for integrated effects. It includes keying and colour correction, compositing, DVE, vector paint, motion tracking, hundreds of presets and support for third-party After Effects filters.
- Integrated Effects - Boris FX offers 2D and 3D compositing, and effects exactly where nonlinear video editors need them: inside their video editing applications.
- Controls Window - Many powerful effects applications on the market come with a steep learning curve and unintuitive UI. With Boris FX, commonly used controls are in plain view - in the Controls window - tabs provide easy organisation of a wide variety of animation possibilties. XYZ position, scale, opacity, trails, and tumble/spin/rotate are on the first tab. Others include controls for borders, shadows, masking and compositing.
- Nested, Hierarchical Timeline - Animations can be created easily by stacking unlimited tracks. Each individual layer can, in fact, be imagined as a container, with separate components for a shape (3D Plane, Sphere, etc.), its media (video, graphic, colour, gradient), as well as upstream and downstream masks.
- Keying - Boris FX includes 13 keying filters for creating and adjusting mattes. These exceptionally robust filters produce more satisfying results with less effort than other compositing solutions, with unmatched flexibility. Any of the filters can be combined, allowing you to pull keys quickly and easily from even the most difficult footage, including DV.
- Particles - Both 2D Particles and 2D Particles Advanced disperse particles in 2D space and provide an assortment of explosion and velocity parameters to control their movement. 2D Particles Advanced offers more options for adjusting the effect, allowing you to choose the size, shape, density and opacity of the particles, and to create custom particle shapes and scatter wipes.
- PixelChooser - A component of many Boris filters, the PixelChooser, provides several methods for selectively filtering images. Blurs, colour correction and distortions, keys and other filters may thus be applied to portions of images, instead of to the entire frame.
- 3D DVE - Any element in Boris can be tumbled, spun and rotated, and animated anywhere in Z space, rendered with subpixel accuracy.
- Transitions - Included in this is the liberation of transitions from a traditional A/B approach. While starting with two layers of host video, Boris transitions can add unlimited layers of QuickTime video, imported still images or gradients created using the Boris Gradient Editor.
- Effects Settings/Library Browser - Once animations or transitions are created, they can be saved and repurposed at any time.
- RAM Preview - Once loaded from the Keyframe Library or created by users, effects animations can be previewed in real time. While you work, all frames are automatically loaded into a RAM cache, making previews to RAM remarkably fast. Only changed frames need to be reloaded.
- Keyframer - A standalone utility included with Boris FX, Keyframer features all of the power of Boris FX for creating effects, but lacks the ability to render them. For that, editors save the settings they create in Keyframer, then apply Boris in their editing timelines, opening the saved settings there - as a result, Keyframer requires relatively few system resources, enabling any modern computer to become part of a workstation-based production workflow
