BCC Cube

Category: BCC Perspective

Effect Name: BCC Cube

The BCC Cube filter, part of the BCC Perspective category, maps the source image onto one or more faces of a 3D cube. Each face can use the same or different media sources, allowing for flexible compositing.

Working with the Filter

Presets and Common Controls

• BCC filters come with a library of factory installed presets plus the ability to create your own custom presets and preview them with the BCC FX Browser™.
• BCC filters also include common controls that configure global effect preferences and other host-specific effect settings.

Beat Reactor

The Beat Reactor is an audio-driven animation system that links effect parameters to an audio track. This allows visual effects to react dynamically to sound without manual key-framing.

For more information, see Beat Reactor Documentation.
