Boris FX Introduces AI-Powered Creative Plugins, Marking a Fresh Start
In a significant shift towards advanced technology, Boris FX, a leading visual effects plugin company, has announced the 2024 release of its flagship product, Continuum, accompanied by an updated version of sister product CrumplePop. Both products are set to introduce AI-driven features designed to enhance creative workflows in video editing and audio production.
For Boris FX Continuum, the specifics of the AI features are yet to be detailed. However, Continuum is renowned as the most complete plugin collection for editors and content creators, boasting a strong integration of cutting-edge technology. The new releases often include AI-powered effects and tools that improve visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing capabilities. Given the broader Boris FX line updates, it is expected that Continuum benefits from enhanced AI-assisted workflows, such as AI-driven motion estimation and masking seen in related products like SynthEyes.
CrumplePop's 2024 (2025.5) release introduces a revamped standalone application called SoundApp. This innovative tool harnesses advanced AI models to dramatically simplify and enhance audio cleanup. Key AI-driven features include efficient processing that analyses full audio clips, an easy-to-use interface, and local processing on users’ machines to ensure security and eliminate delays caused by cloud uploading. These features enable podcasters and content creators to achieve studio-quality audio effortlessly.
The AI-driven features in the 2024 Boris FX releases significantly enhance:
| Product | AI-driven Features | |---------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------| | Continuum | AI-assisted workflows for visual effects and motion tracking (implied from Boris FX ecosystem and related SynthEyes tools) | | CrumplePop | SoundApp with AI models for fast, automatic noise removal, echo reduction, vocal clarity, full clip analysis, and local processing for secure, studio-quality audio |
The Boris FX Suite, a comprehensive post-production workflow solution, is available as an annual or monthly subscription. The suite includes Continuum, CrumplePop, Mocha Pro, Optics, Sapphire, Silhouette, and SynthEyes. Additionally, Continuum and CrumplePop are also available as individual plugins with similar subscription options. Customers on current subscriptions or upgrade & support plans receive a free update to the corresponding product releases.

With these advancements, Boris FX aims to keep editors and artists within the UI of their host application with its new AI plugins, avoiding the need for round-tripping to standalone applications. The 2024 release of Boris FX's Continuum and CrumplePop reflects the company's commitment to integrating AI to streamline and elevate both visual effects and audio post-production tasks. Boris FX is also releasing the 2024 version of sister product CrumplePop, known for its AI audio restoration tools.
