Boris FX | Creating Transitions with BCC 6 AE's Swish Pan Filter
Editors use transitions as a way to cut between scenes, typically creating an animated effect such as a dissolve or blur at the end of the outgoing clip and the beginning of the incoming clip. While most modern NLE systems ship with standard wipe transitions, there are some transition styles that are more of an in-camera effect rather than a synthesized gradient wipe or block dissolve. One of these effects, known as a Swish Pan, is created by panning the camera very quickly in a 180 degree arc, creating the look of a fast blur between the outgoing and incoming clips. Continuing in the tradition of making visual effects easy to create, Boris Continuum Complete 6 AE now includes a Swish Pan transition filter which is available free for registered BCC 6 AE users. In this video tutorial, we'll use the new BCC 6 Swish Pan filter to transition between a pair of clips.

And you do not have a release from that person or time to ask for one. Not to fear: you can still save the shot with Boris Continuum Complete's Motion Key tool.

Boris FX | Extrude Adobe Illustrator Logos and Graphics in Adobe After Effects
Boris Continuum Complete 6 AE's Extruded EPS filter provides an easy way to import and extrude Adobe Illustrator layered vector logos and graphics in Adobe After Effects.

The filter is capable of tracking an EPS file using a Watch Folder, making the EPS file live should it be edited in Adobe Illustrator. A handy Keep EPS Color feature lets you preserve the original fill colors for each element as a diffuse color option of the material.

Boris FX | Audio-driven Effects with BCC 7 AE's Beat Reactor Technology
In this video tutorial, Kevin P. McAuliffe takes a look at Boris Continuum Complete 7 AE's new Beat Reactor technology. Beat Reactor is a new BCC 7 AE filter that lets you sample specific bands of audio from a clip and uses the sampled audio levels to drive effect parameters. In addition to being available as a standalone BCC 7 AE filter, the new Beat Reactor technology has been added as a built-in feature for many other BCC 7 AE filters. Beat Reactor makes it easier to generate audio-driven effects such as adding a pulsing light, a glow, or even an image wipe that follows along with the beat of an audio track.
