What's New

PARTICLE ILLUSION

It’s back! Renowned Particle Illusion (formerly particleIllusion) gets a total overhaul in Continuum 2019. Redesigned from the ground up as a 64-bit application, Particle Illusion gives editors and artists access to an easy-to-use, powerful, high-end particle and motion graphics generator. Instantly create preset-driven photorealistic motion-tracked particle effects for titles, lower thirds, and background graphics. [Learn more about Particle Illusion] (/products/particle-illusion).

MOCHA ESSENTIALS WITH NEW TRACKING TOOLS

Users already know and love the Academy Award-winning Mocha planar tracking tools integrated directly inside Continuum. The Continuum 2019 release provides some major updates. Say yes to faster effects masking and rotoscoping.


TITLE STUDIO UPDATES


Title Studio is a next-gen 2D/3D titling plug-in that can be used as a custom interface plug-in or standalone application. Easily create high-quality professional 2D or 3D titles with custom bevels, fills and styles; import 3D models from Maxon C4D or Adobe Illustrator EPS files; and add OpenGL-accelerated features like 3D extrusions, materials, cameras, lights, and deformers.


OVERALL IMPROVEMENTS

  • **Avid Effects Simplified**: The introduction of Mocha-based parameter tracking renders most non-real time blue dot filters unnecessary. Non-real time filters have been moved into an obsolete folder to support the older legacy Continuum tracker.

FEATURES

MOCHA TRACKING & MASKING

The Academy Award-winning Mocha planar tracking and masking application is integrated inside almost every single filter in Continuum! This empowers editors to do more advanced finishing work right within the filter without having to leave editing project timelines.


IMAGE RESTORATION TOOLS

Fix footage fast. Image Restoration is the powerful, must-have tool set that saves less-than-ideal footage. Be a problem-solving hero. Features include:


PRIMATTE STUDIO

Easily chroma key and composite using the same Academy Award nominated compositing tech (Photron’s Primatte) as major blockbusters like the Lord of the Rings series, Harry Potter films, and Spider-Man.

TRANSITIONS

Cut. Add a slick transition. Repeat. Set the pace and tone of your edit sequence without keyframes!

PARTICLES

Build blockbuster organic matter and streams. Powerful 3D particle generators, custom emitters, and organic effects for motion graphics and VFX. Features include:


360/VR

Editing and finishing immersive 360 video is a time consuming task. The VR Unit gives editors five new 360 optimized filters to speed up post workflows. Work inside your host timeline while avoiding the seams inherent to regular non-VR filters. Supports 180, 360, mono, and stereoscopic! Based on Mocha VR’s award-winning 360/VR tech.

The new filters are: VR Reorient, VR Insert, VR Blur, VR Sharpen and VR Flicker Fixer. Learn more about the [Continuum VR Unit] (/products/continuum-units/continuum-vr/).
