Ranked 12 on toolfarm, this is the plan that keeps a Continuum license eligible for new releases such as 2022 and 2022.5, rather than a standalone effect.
The Continuum Upgrade and Support Plan keeps a Boris FX Continuum license current, providing access to new features across After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro along with support from Boris FX.
Continuum 2022 introduced Particle Illusion fluid dynamics for organic swirling, flowing particle motion, Adobe Multi-Frame Rendering support on more than 350 effects, and native Apple M1 support. It added 60+ film and TV-inspired color grades through BCC+Film Stocks, 50+ new gobo presets that bring the total past 800, six blur effects with 80 presets, and integrated Mocha planar tracking and masking across 100+ BCC+ effects. The PixelChooser was redesigned with full GPU processing.
The 2022.5 release added 15 GPU-accelerated transitions and 5 effects with 60+ presets, new FX Editor onscreen controls, and 3D model support in Particle Illusion via Cinema 4D import. It runs on macOS 10.14 or higher and Windows 8 and 10, with node-locked, subscription, and floating license options.
Boris FX Continuum - Upgrade and Support Plan is best for continuum owners who want ongoing access to new effects and releases across After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro, plus support from Boris FX.
Boris FX Continuum - Upgrade and Support Plan is completely free to download and use.
The Continuum Upgrade and Support Plan runs on macOS 10.14 or higher and Windows 8 and 10. Its features cover After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro as host applications, and the Adobe hosts benefit from Multi-Frame Rendering on more than 350 effects plus native Apple M1 support. The developer's page carries the full listing of supported host applications, so it's worth checking there before installing to confirm your specific editor and version are covered.
The Continuum Upgrade and Support Plan recommends an Intel or AMD CPU with four or more cores, 8 GB of memory or more, and high-speed disk array or SSD storage. Most modern graphics cards from ATI, Nvidia, and Intel are supported, and several BCC+ effects and BeautyStudio use full GPU processing. A complete graphics card listing is available on the developer's page. These are recommended specs, so a faster CPU, more memory, and a capable GPU help with the collection's heavier effects.
The Continuum Upgrade and Support Plan is listed as free in this catalog. That said, Boris FX handles its own licensing through node-locked, subscription, and floating options, so the current terms and any costs for the plan itself are set by the developer. For accurate, up-to-date licensing details, check the developer's page rather than relying on the catalog listing alone.
The Continuum Upgrade and Support Plan gave access to the 2022.5 release, which added 15 GPU-accelerated transitions and 5 effects, plus more than 60 new transition and effect presets including Video Glitch, Light Leaks, and Camera Shake. It brought up to 35% quicker renders for all BCC+ effects, new onscreen FX Editor controls, Mocha masking workflow improvements, and 3D model support in Particle Illusion through Cinema 4D file import.
