Why we like it

Boris FX Suite gathers Boris FX's product line under one installer and license manager. From a single place you can install and license the full suite or select software, activate or deactivate licenses, keep products up to date, and reach dedicated training and support.

The lineup spans Continuum, described as a complete plugin toolkit; Sapphire, a visual effects suite; Mocha Pro for planar tracking and masking; Silhouette for roto, paint and compositing; SynthEyes for 3D tracking and matchmoving; Optics for cinematic effects on photos; and a Pro Audio division combining the Sequoia, Samplitude and Music Studio DAWs with CrumplePop. Together the suite offers 270+ photorealistic effects, 60+ transitions, and 3000+ presets.

It runs on Mac OS X, Windows 10 and Linux, and works with After Effects, Premiere Pro, Media Composer, and OFX hosts including Nuke, Resolve, Fusion, VEGAS Pro and Flame, plus Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, and as a standalone application. Continuum does not support Linux or Flame. On Toolfarm it ranks fifth in popularity.

Boris FX Suite works with Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, and OFX hosts including Foundry's Nuke, Blackmagic Resolve, Fusion, VEGAS Pro and Autodesk Flame. It also supports Apple Final Cut Pro and Adobe Photoshop, and can run as a standalone application. One exception applies: Continuum does not support Flame. Supported hosts vary by product, so exact coverage depends on which components you use. For the full per-product host list, check the developer's page.

Does Boris FX Suite run on Linux?

Boris FX Suite lists support for Mac OS X, Windows 10 and Linux. There is one caveat on Linux: Continuum does not support it, so if your work depends on Continuum, that component won't be available on a Linux setup. The other products in the suite cover the listed operating systems. For the current platform breakdown across individual products, check the developer's page before committing to a setup.

Is Boris FX Suite free?

Boris FX Suite is listed as free here in the catalog.
