Boris FX Sapphire adds visual effects to video editing and compositing workflows through plug-ins that run inside supported applications. Editors can use it to change the appearance of footage, create light and distortion effects, or connect shots with transitions. Presets provide a starting point for different looks, while adjustable controls help users fit an effect to a particular sequence.

Apply presets or build custom transitions within a compatible editing or compositing application.

The collection covers lighting, blur, distortion, time manipulation, and transitions. Tools for lens flares, pixel sorting, and simulated dust offer different ways to alter footage. Builders let users combine effects and design transitions within a compatible host application. Rendering can use GPU acceleration on supported graphics hardware, and presets can be adjusted to suit the footage.

  • Create and adjust lens flare effects
  • Apply pixel sorting to video footage
  • Build transitions by combining effects
  • Add simulated dust to images
