Boris FX

Boris FX is a professional video editor which can be installed on your system as a standalone application or Adobe Premiere Pro plugin. It comes with support for realistic lighting and color correction effects, personalized text messages, and multiple layers.

The tool overwhelms you with tons of configuration settings so you need to arm yourself with extra patience for discovering its features. A thorough help manual is the safest bet if you need extra information about the utility’s editing capabilities.

The GUI is quite flexible in the sense that it gives you the freedom to resize windows and hide certain features from your view. A custom workspace can be saved so you can import it in your future editing projects. User-defined hotkeys can be defined for faster actions.

Boris FX helps you define a new project by giving details about the size, frames per second, pixel aspect ratio, duration, and starting timecode. Plus, you can enable deflickering in order to apply a vertical blur before rendering data, generate safe levels for broadcast, set the rendering optimization, as well as configure alpha channel and color depth.

The application helps you work with various transformations, filters and masks in order to edit media files, and generate static effects or animate the effect’s parameters using keyframes.

What’s more, you can add audio files for performing sync options, check out waveforms in the timeline, quickly preview and apply settings from the built-in library browser, render effects, make use of motion effects (corner pin tracker, motion stabilizer, motion tracker), define spline objects, and map text onto 3D objects such as cylinders, spheres and cubes.

As good as the tool is when it comes to delivering excellent output quality, you should know that it is not that friendly with system resources so you need a powerful computer to run it.

Boris FX cannot disappoint advanced video editors because it accommodates many features and configuration settings. The package with options is so comprehensive that you can’t get bored working with it. Using photo restoration utilities, vector paint, After Effects filters, compositing, pre-defined effects, and filters up to spline tools, you can transform your videos into artistic creations.
