Once you apply the effect to a clip, you can set up the parameters in the FCP Inspector pane or launch FX Editor, which is similar across multiple Boris FX products. Launch FCP and you’ll find the BCC+ Looks filter within the BCC Film Style effects category. Read the installation prompts carefully if you only want to install the single free filter without also installing the others in a trial mode. The installer includes the full Continuum package. To start, simply register at the Boris FX website and you’ll be emailed a license code and a download link. However, the biggest new feature is the addition of Mocha and Pixel Chooser for planar tracking and masking within each effect. Features of the 2022 version include GPU-acceleration for every effect, native operation on M1 Macs, HDR compliance, and more presets. This year Boris FX released the updated 2022 version of Continuum FCP for Final Cut Pro and Motion. As I discussed in my review of Continuum FCP last year, the version sold for Final Cut Pro is a different animal than previous Continuum packages for Final Cut Pro, as well as other host applications. Boris FX took a different approach in 2021. However, some filters never made it into the Final Cut version of BCC, because it wasn’t possible. For instance, the initial BCC version for FCPX was designed to closely mimic the other BCC versions, yet staying within the then-new Apple architecture.

The features of these filters are tweaked for the specifics of each host application, but in general, a BCC filter used in Media Composer can be expected to work and look more or less the same way in Premiere Pro.Ĭompatibility became more difficult for many Final Cut plug-in developers when Apple launched FCPX.

The Boris FX Continuum and/or Sapphire filters have traditionally been essential add-ons for many editors, regardless of NLE brand.
