  • Enhanced Effects - Achieve more photorealistic effects with enhancements to RackDefocus, EdgeRays, Rays, EdgeFlash, and Clouds.
  • AE Masks Integration - Use AE masks directly within each effect as mattes to isolate the area you want to apply the effect to in fewer steps.
  • Preset capabilities - Create and save your favorite presets or edit from more than a thousand included pre-built looks.
  • Web-Integrated Visual Preset Browser – Visually browse and preview effects on your actual media. Create lists of your favorite presets and filter based on your Shortlist, ones you’ve applied, what’s new, characteristics and tags, or by date used. Sort presets based on their name, number or date of application, popularity, author, creation date, or custom lists.
  • Animated Previews of Auto-Animated Effects – Preview animations of presets that do not require keyframing for movement from within the FX Central Preset Browser
  • FX Central Subscription - Get new presets every month through a one-year subscription to FX Central, included with purchases of Sapphire v6. The FX Central Preset Browser automatically downloads new looks collections for you, so you can use new looks without leaving your editing application.
