The paint strokes are automatically converted into splines, saving time. This means that editors, for example, can create masks without working with splines. This update applies to S_LensFlare, S_EdgeRays, S_Rays, S_Luna, S_Grunge, S_Spotlight, S_Aurora, S_Zap, S_MuzzleFlash and the new S_FreeLens, described below.Īnother planar tracking integration is the Mocha Area Brush tool with which users can paint over track search areas with quick, generalised strokes. Sapphire’s built-in planar tracker Mocha now tracks and drives Sapphire positional parameters in ten of its effects, giving artists more control so that they can use them in different, more creative ways. Positional parameter tracking using a Mocha workflow. Using the new S_OCIOTransform effect, Sapphire is also to bring OCIO colour management to its host package, whether or not the host has implemented the OCIO standard. OCIO colour profiles may be applied and read inside all Sapphire applications including the Preset Browser, Flare Designer and Effect & Transition Builder.Ī facility’s custom OpenColorIO libraries can be loaded via an OS environment variable, or by editing an internal Sapphire configuration file to point to a custom location. Traditionally, some plugin-based creative workflows have been an obstacle in a feature film VFX pipelines due to lack of OCIO support. The new OpenColorIO (OCIO) support is a colour management upgrade that makes sure Sapphire effects can be viewed in the colour pipeline that the director and DP intend for their project.

The software also has an integrated Mocha workflow that uses planar tracking to drive parameter-based effects.ĭeveloped with tools for VFX artists, editors and motion designers, Sapphire 2020 is a plug-in for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer and OFX hosts including Autodesk Flame, Foundry Nuke, Blackmagic Resolve and VEGAS Pro. Parameter tracking - Mocha now tracks Sapphire positional parameters.īoris FX Sapphire, updated to its 2020 version, now has OpenColorIO (OCIO) support, an Area Brush tool for painting over large tracking search areas instead of working with splines, and a new freelensing effect.
