BCC Sparks Unique Advantages

* BCC Sparks is the only plug-in to allow users to swap filter presets with other BCC host applications regardless of manufacture or model. The streamlined workflow allows editors to copy effects from an offline edit sequence into a final finishing project - using different host applications developed by different manufacturers, including Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, and Avid.

* BCC Sparks comes equipped with the legendary Boris PixelChooser in every spark. PixelChooser simplifies the creation of track mattes, pixel-based masks, and region/garbage masks. Using PixelChooser, a VFX artist can apply any BCC filter to an image clip and control exactly how the effect is composited or blended with the original pixels based on pixel or region values.

* 1,000+ included preset looks speed effects creation and streamline workflow.

* Most sparks include a built-in motion tracker.

* BCC Sparks includes optical flow technology for smooth image retiming.

* BCC Sparks offers users multiple clip inputs with every filter for front, back, and matte generation, enabling compositing within the spark.

BCC Sparks is available for a suggested retail price of 2,495 USD.
