as with every major release, Sapphire 11 has been optimized for maximum
CPU and GPU performance.
Features:
The Best Lighting Effects
A long kept secret in the Hollywood feature film community, the
Sapphire lighting package has been used in countless films, commercials,
and television programs. It’s fast, beautiful, and stocked with many
smart time-saving features that will leave your images looking beautiful
in no time at all. Whether it’s glows, glints, lens flares, light rays,
or glares, the Sapphire lighting package lives up to the hype.
Builder
Sapphire’s Effect and Transition Builder gives users the ability to
browse and try out Sapphire effects with ease, enabling artists and
editors to create their own custom effects and transitions. Builder
ships with over 150 presets for creative and correctional purposes, so
you can start using it right out of the box. Browse the new presets by
effect name, genre, or featured artist.
Gorgeous Presets
There’s nothing harder than starting from a blank slate so Sapphire
features over 3000 presets, many crafted by top notch artists and
editors. With every release, brand new presets are added so there’s
always something fresh to play with.
Glow
A favorite of the Hollywood crowd for decades, Sapphire Glow is one
of the all-time legendary and most versatile effects. Whether you are
looking to slightly alter the mood of a shot or dramatically change the
lighting, the silky smooth subtleness of Sapphire Glow will always live
up to the hype.
Film Effect
Sapphire film effect began as a way to accurately emulate 35mm film
for video, but fast-forward to the post production world of today and
it’s now used as a multi-faceted color grading tool and plug-in. Packed
with tons of amazing presets, editors and artists can quickly achieve
dozens of different popular color treatments with Sapphire Film Effect.
Shake
Shake holds it’s place amongst the most popular Sapphire effects
because it’s versatility and ease of use. Whether used to emulate a
documentary style hand-held camera shake or the magnitude of an
earthquake-like effect, Shake’s deep parameter set allows it to adapt to
any situation.
Lens Flare
Sapphire LensFlare gives you the ability to add photorealistic lens
flares from a huge amount of presets or create them from scratch with
the Sapphire Flare Designer, our own application for building feature
film quality lens flares. Never adjust your F-stops or shine a light
into your camera again!
Vignette
Vignette is a great example of a classic Sapphire effect. It helps
you take a repetitive multi-click task and turn it into one step with
increased flexibility and new functionality.
What's New:
Integrated Mocha Tracking and Masking
Sapphire is proud to feature integrated Mocha planar tracking and
masking in the legendary suite of VFX plug-ins. Right from within your
favorite effect, Sapphire now has the ability to launch Mocha and create
and track a mask, utilizing the Academy Award-winning planar tracking
technology. Mocha masks can be used in a variety ways, from simple
isolation to full blown rotoscoping. Power users of Sapphire have long
known the secret to creating great effects has always been employing
masks to selectively isolate, and now working with that technique is
easier than ever. Sapphire 11 with Mocha is currently available for all
supported hosts, and featured in Sapphire units as well. Learn more

50+ New Preset Effects and Transitions
Sapphire 11 adds over 50 highly-stylized, multi-effect presets and
transitions based on Sapphire’s powerful Builder effect. Easily drag and
drop on a project or customize as desired. These highly advanced
presets are created by top notch working professional editors and
artists who use Sapphire in their day to day work. Anyone who has
explored the power of the Effect Builder knows these new presets are
like whole new Sapphire effects, so we are excited to include over 50 in
Sapphire 11. Watch the video for a quick preview.
Exclusive S_Mocha spark included for the Autodesk Flame Family
Sapphire 11 is the most significant release of Sapphire for Flame in
years, bringing the Academy Award-winning Mocha tracking, masking and
rotoscoping toolset right into Flame for the first time. Every Sapphire
effect, where appropriate, now has a built-in Mocha masking module for
easy isolation, and a dedicated Mocha Spark places the power of Mocha at
the heart of Flame’s Timeline and Batch workspaces for fluid
interaction with native tools. The new Mocha Spark also enables the
export of complex roto shapes as GMasks and the export of Mocha planar
tracking and stabiliser data to Action. Watch this short introduction
video to learn all about these exciting new features.
