IBC kicks off this Friday, September 13th, in Amsterdam! We’re packing our bags and some serious excitement this year.
Attendees at IBC will be the first to see sneak peeks of the upcoming 2020 releases: Sapphire, Continuum, Mocha Pro, and Silhouette. Speaking of Silhouette, if you haven’t already heard, the winner of a 2019 Academy Award for Technical Achievement, and Digital Film Tools have just joined the Boris FX family!
Five major products with two Academy Awards under one roof. We’re kinda like the Jurassic Park franchise with its five movies…well at least until Jurassic World 3 comes out in 2021.
We’re pumped for what the future holds and are working non-stop to keep bringing you the best video editing, visual effects, and motion graphics plug-ins and applications around.

“Color management is a crucial component of every piece of content we produce at Industrial Light & Magic. Traditionally, plugin-based creative workflows could often be a stumbling block in a feature film VFX pipeline, so we are excited that Boris FX has decided to add OpenColorIO (OCIO) support to Sapphire 2020 and Mocha Pro 2020.” - Jeroen (J.) Schulte, Global Imaging Supervisor, Industrial Light & Magic
Continuum 2020 (Available later this fall)
Continuum adds over 15 new effects and transitions! Whether you’re an editor, VFX artist or motion graphics designer, Continuum continues to deliver the most comprehensive plugin collection available.

Mocha Pro 2020 (Available later this fall)
Get ready for Mega Clean Plates! Mocha Pro’s new feature extracts a seamless larger-than-raster image from moving camera footage. VFX artists will love the groundbreaking new workflow for its mega time-savings on set extensions, clean-ups, removing objects, and re-positioning footage.
Plus…
- New! Area Brush interactive spline tool lets you apply paint-like functionality to Mocha. Define large tracking search areas with a simple stroke.

- New! Brush compare modes: Easily preview brush settings before you paint
- New! Dodge, Burn, and Detail brushes
