NASA Blasts Off with Boris RED NASA Blasts Off with Boris RED

Three Emmy Awards. Four Telly Awards. Three Axiem Awards. Two Communicator Awards of Distinction. Two first place awards in the US International Film and Video Festival. These are just a few of the accolades bestowed on the Video Services Team at NASA's Langley Research Center for productions using Boris RED for their effects, transitions and titling. ''Boris RED has raised the quality level of our productions more than any other product that we used,'' says Timothy J. Allen, who worked on the creation of these projects before recently transferring to the Johnson Space Center in Houston. ''Looking cool adds value, and we can get there faster and easier with Boris RED than with any other tool we use.''

Boris Continuum Complete AVX 5: Unleash Your Avid! Boris Continuum Complete AVX 5: Unleash Your Avid!

Emmy Award-winning editor Vivek Narayan takes a closer look at the latest version of Boris Continuum Complete, a comprehensive set of filters and effects for leading NLEs as well as After Effects. Although it works largely the same in all hosts, Vik digs deepest into BCC operating inside Avid. He finds that the 180 filters here more than give others a run for their money: it beats out some of the industry's favorites. See why he calls buying BCC AVX 5 "a no-brainer."
