What is Boris FX Sapphire?

Sapphire plug-ins allow for the creation of stunning organic visuals that exceed the capabilities of any built-in effect tools in host applications. Key features include a vast collection of over 270 effects and more than 3000 presets, complemented by a powerful effect and transition builder, as well as integrated tracking and masking driven by the award-winning mocha software. The exceptional image quality, precise control, and fast rendering speeds offered by Sapphire enable significant time savings, which allows creators to focus on producing captivating content that resonates with their viewers. Mac users of Sapphire 2021 will appreciate the introduction of Metal GPU acceleration for more than 60 Sapphire effects, which ensures remarkable performance enhancements. With Metal acceleration, dramatic speed improvements can be seen, as certain effects such as S_Rays can render over four times faster compared to using the CPU alone. Although performance may vary depending on GPU specifications, host applications, operating systems, and specific Sapphire effects, it is typically noted that Sapphire 2021 with Metal acceleration achieves an average rendering speed that is 20% faster than relying exclusively on the CPU. This cutting-edge technology not only optimizes the creative workflow but also empowers artists to explore new horizons in their visual storytelling, inspiring them to innovate and engage their audience even further. As the landscape of digital content creation evolves, Sapphire continues to be a vital tool for professionals seeking to elevate their visual narratives.
