Automatic Duck Pro Import to Support Boris Blue
Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 10, 2005
Boris FX, the leading developer of integrated effects technology for video and film production, today announced that Automatic DuckÂ?s Pro Import Blue plug-in will allow users to import their Avid timeline sequences directly into Boris Blue. Blue is a 3D compositing and motion graphics solution based on the award-winning Boris Red plug-in.
Blue is a standalone application that provides unprecedented 3D creativity with real-time performance to accelerate workflow. Create stunning 3D text and shapes with innovative pixel shaders including bump maps, noise patterns, and natural materials as well as reflections and 3D shadows. Powerful OpenGL vertex shaders distort and warp 3D objects with a simple oneparameter action. Bend and twist corners or wrap 3D text around curves. Import common 3D formats, tap into a vast collection of shareware or choose from the 3D models included with Blue.
Â?Boris BlueÂ?s OpenGL hardware acceleration provides highly interactive real-time performance that streamlines 3D effects creation,Â? says Boris FX founder and president Boris Yamnitsky. “The Automatic Duck solution provides a superior method for integrating Blue into a seamless workflow.Â?
All supported Avid timeline effects are translated, including Dissolves, Superimpose, Picture-in-Picture, 3D Warp, Submaster, Flops, Flips, X-, Y- and Z-Spin. Matte Key, Speed Changes and Freeze Frames. Automatic Duck translates the effects and recreates the Avid timeline as a composition in Boris Blue. In addition, the associated media is added to the Project window. A fullyfunctional 30-day trial version will be included with Boris Blue.
Â?Our mission is to provide the most complete and powerful timeline Integration solutions for digital media artists,Â? said Wes Plate, president of Automatic Duck. Â?With Pro Import Blue, we look forward to helping Avid editors streamline their Boris Blue workflow so that it is as seamless as the workflow available with BorisÂ?s other integrated offerings.Â?
