Boris Continuum Complete 8 Review

funkyfresh by

Boris Continuum Complete 8 is an extremely useful plug-in suite of visual effects available for major NLE platforms such as Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, Avid and Sony. Depending on your NLE of choice, Continuum Complete 8 provides anywhere from 145-200+ effects. But more importantly the effects are useful and inspiring if not a bit intimidating with comprehensive controls that allow truly infinite possibilities.

Boris FX has been around since 1995 and this is the first time we've immersed ourselves in their plug-ins. At first, it's a bit overwhelming. There's a lot to digest in this suite and every plug-in has lots of sliders and settings to tweak. We highly recommend checking out some of the tutorials by John Rofrano on YouTube, especially the Beat Reactor tutorial which we found extremely helpful.

The lineup of effects includes motion tracking, image restoration, cartoon, film effects, 3D particles, HD "UpRez", lighting effects and a lot more. Each plug-in includes a variety of presets. For example, if you want the "Charles Schwab" cartoon look, you can quickly dial that in. read more...
