Boris FX, the leading
developer of integrated effects technology for video and film,
announced that Final Effects Complete 5.0 for AVX (FEC 5 AVX) is now
shipping. This is the third release in the FEC product family that
also included FEC 5.0 for AE (shipping since February 2008) and FEC
5.0 for FxPlug (shipping since March 2008). FEC 5 AVX adds support for
Avid editing and finishing systems based on Avid’s proprietary AVX 2.0
plug-in interface running on Mac and Windows platforms.
“Final Effects Complete has been a long-time favorite of Avid editors,
affording organic looks and increasing the production value of many
high profile projects,” comments Boris Yamnitsky, founder and
president, Boris FX. “This latest release breathes new life into the
legendary Final Effects Complete package with all of the modern
amenities of AVX 2 as well as features transplanted from FEC’s sibling
- BCC 5 AVX ”
Final Effects Complete 5 for AVX is an update to FEC 4 AVX. FEC 5 AVX
adds new support for 16 bit-color processing, AVX 2 real-time (RT)
filters, native on-screen controls, multi-processor acceleration,
Universal Binary support on Macintosh, and several new wipe transition
filters. Hundreds of factory-installed presets provide quick starting
points for new effects.
FEC 5 AVX is fully compatible with FEC 5 AE for Adobe After Effects
and FEC 5 FxPlug for Apple Final Cut Studio. Individual filter presets
can be saved and loaded across all NLEs and platforms for seamless,
open-architecture workflow.
New FEC 5 AVX filters include:
Blur Dissolve: organic blur transition with apply modes and glows
Lens Wipe: zoom in with a lens effect
Rain Wipe: transitions using rain drops to wipe image
Griddler Wipe: zoom in with a griddler effect

Boris Motion Tracker and PixelChooser borrowed from BCC allow users to selectively apply filters to specific areas of the image, greatly extending the compositing power of Avid editors.
New FEC Native Parameter UI sports new control groups, contextual controls, on-screen widgets, custom controls and many other improvements. All parameter options are now readily available as native parameters without a need to open modal dialog windows.
