Reasons to upgrade to Boris Continuum Complete 5

BCC Version 5 offers Quantel users major improvements to the award-winning BCC version 4. This is an es-sential upgrade for those who use Continuum Complete version 4. This version continues building on core technologies such as Optical Flow, OpenGL and motion tracking, and adds key new features. BCC 5 features the following new plug-ins:

Uprez Pan and Zoom Matchmove LED Prism

Scanline Damaged TV Turbulence Noise Map 2 Color Choker

Details on the new BCC 5 plug-ins follow:

UpRez

BCC UpRez provides an answer to a common problem facing today's editors, which is what to do about situations where SD clips need to be reused in an HD project. Designed to facilitate the resizing of image clips while minimizing the data loss that is usually associated with media transforms, the BCC UpRez filter employs very sophisticated image sampling techniques with edge detection, providing a final result that cannot be achieved by standard scaling and post processing methods.

Pan and Zoom

The BCC Pan and Zoom filter was designed to make easy work of documentary style Pan and Zoom tech-niques. The filter uses on-screen controls for the size and position of the zoom region along with additional on-screen UI for the anchor point, and a preview window where you can see a small rendering of the final result. This filter employs very sophisticated image sampling techniques with edge detection, providing a very high quality image result without the need for additional post processing or filtering.

MatchMove

Use the BCC Matchmove filter to lock the movement of one image clip to another image clip using the built-in motion tracking function. One of the great advantages of using the BCC Matchmove filter to composite is that it includes full DVE functions such as tumble, spin, and rotate, along with interesting lighting and light wrap compositing features.

LED Filter

The BCC LED filter was designed to make an image, clip or text element with alpha appear as though it was constructed out of an array of blinking or solid LED lights similar to the display boards that we see in today’s sports stadiums. By default, the lights take their color from the clip to which it was applied and can be set to either square or round diodes or "bulbs". Alternately the filter can apply a tint of color over the media ele-ment to which it was applied. This filter is a part of the new OpenGL category of filters in BCC which benefit from hardware acceleration as all of the processing is done by the GPU of the graphics card instead of the CPU, which greatly improves performance while working with these filters and significantly reduces render times.

Prism Filter

The BCC Prism filter can be used to simulate the photographic effect of chromatic aberration, where a bad lens can create prismatic color fringing along edges of contrast within the image. The filter can also be used as an interesting wipe or blur effect and includes controls for image rotation along 2 points of one axis within the image, which with some settings leads to a pleasant twisting blurred effect. The Prism filter is an-other one of the new filters that are included in the OpenGL category and benefits from the super fast image processing that the hardware acceleration allows for.

Scaline Filter

BCC Scan Lines is another filter from the new BCC OGL category. This filter was designed to generate rolling RGB scan-lines over the source image clip, emulating the effect of a computer monitor which was shot on video tape or film. The RGB bars rolling scan lines that the filter generates can be offset from each other in yx space and time to generate photorealistic effects. The filter also includes a user controlled noise generator function for added realism.

Damaged TV Filter

Another addition to the new Open GL filter category is the BCC Damaged TV filter. Designed to emulate the appearance of a CRT style television set that is receiving a bad antenna signal or is in need of repair, com-plete with gun offset, distorted edges, image roll, noise, scan lines, and interference lines, this powerful filter features both fully automatic or manual modes of operation. When using the filter in automatic mode, the filter will automatically animate image roll, scan lines, noise or any other visible parameter - and even though the filter is being used in automatic mode, the user retains full control over every parameter.

Turbulence Filter

Based on the core algorithms that make up the BCC Noise Map 2 filter, the BCC Turbulence filter generates auto-animated gel-like distortion fields in an image clip based on input from the built-in noise map and tur-bulence controls.

Noise Map 2 Filter

The BCC Noise Map 2 filter is primarily used to generate procedurally based, resolution independent, auto-animated image clips that can be used as backdrops or as a mask track input for other image clips.

Color Choker

The BCC Color Choker filter posterizes and blurs colors in an image clip for creative and artistic results. The media clip colors that the filter is applied to can be attenuated or remapped individually through the many filter parameters or together as an RGB group. Included in the filter is a checkbox control to convert image to monochrome before applying.
