The 2026 release of the Continuum plugin collection includes additional AI tools designed to significantly simplify frequently occurring tasks such as masking, effect isolation, chroma keying, compositing, and editing. Four AI-based VFX tools—Object Brush ML, Matte Assist ML, BCC+ Depth Map ML, and BCC+ Frame Fixer ML—were already introduced in the May update; now, workflows are further (semi-)automated. ;) New Primatte Studio
Masking and Tracking The PixelChooser, which is based on Mocha tracking and integrated into every Continuum effect, has been expanded with three new AI-driven masking and tracking tools. BCC+ Face ML uses AI to simplify beauty work and complex compositing workflows by automatically detecting, selecting, masking, and tracking facial parts such as eyes, eyebrows, lips, mouth, teeth, and the surrounding skin. Which facial area is to be masked can be easily specified with a checkmark—eliminating the need for manual rotoscoping. ;) Face ML A new Mocha Tracking tool for face recognition uses AI technology to automatically detect, track, and manage individual faces in a shot, allowing Continuum effects like glow, blur, mosaics, and color corrections to be easily applied afterward. BCC+ Matte Refine ML, in turn, is intended to allow existing masks or mattes to be edited easily and precisely. The tool uses AI technology to automatically generate natural edges from hard mattes, preserving fine details with semi-transparency. Matte Refine ML is thus intended to minimize the time required, especially for creating difficult matte edges—hair, feathers, fur, etc. Furthermore, the PixelChooser includes six new Mask/Matte modes that allow users to precisely define where a generated mask/matte is applied in the composite stack (Pre, Post, Both, Stacked Composite, Alpha Masked, Alpha Composite). Keying and Editing As enhanced keying and compositing features, the GPU-accelerated BCC+ Primatte Studio introduces AI noise reduction, which is intended to preserve important details. Users also have access to further compositing tools in Primatte Studio, including Light Wrap Edge and Light Wrap Spill controls, an Edge Cleaner option, integrated Color Link for quickly matching the color of the keyed foreground to the background, and an optimized custom toolbar designed to help users work more efficiently. ;) New Primatte Studio Continuum 2026 also gets its first AI-driven transitions—the new BCC+ Jump Cut Fixer ML does exactly what its name suggests: smoothing out jarring jumps between jump cuts. Optical flow algorithms are applied to seamlessly transition between two shots. The BCC+ Depth Wipe ML function uses AI-generated depth maps to seamlessly wipe from foreground to background, for example, for slice animations. ;) Depth Wipe ML Numerous Other Improvements Other improvements in Continuum 2026 include Retimer ML with support for mixed frame rates in After Effects and UpRes ML with new scaling models, including NVIDIA Super Scale (only available on Windows with NVIDIA graphics cards). Depth Map ML is now said to generate cleaner, more stable mattes for compositing, grading, and blur effects, while Motion Blur ML features adaptive sampling and Beat Reactor synchronization. Frame Fixer ML is intended to handle trimmed frames in Avid Media Composer better. Additionally, there are a total of over 150 new presets and updates for various Continuum effects. Continuum is available as a plugin collection via subscription starting at /year or /month, as well as a perpetual license. Supported host applications include Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Apple Final Cut Pro and Motion, Foundry Nuke, Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve and Fusion, as well as VEGAS Pro.  more infos at bei borisfx.comdeutsche Version dieser Seite: BorisFX Continuum 2026 mit neuem Primatte Studio, KI-Maskentools und mehr |
