Update Boris Graffiti to 5.3 ? - Thursday, July 24, 2008

Boris Graffiti 5.2

Upgrading Boris Graffiti to 5.3 ?

If you have subscribed to Boris FX, you should have received a newsletter on 22 July 2008, with information regarding Boris Graffiti 5.3.

This upgrade is free for all users of Boris Graffiti 5.x. The version which is delivered with Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate is displayed as being version 5.2. At first, we thought that we could upgrade and we were concerned. Some of you had problems trying the upgrade, and our team at DV FX got in touch with Boris FX which gave us the following answer :

"The version of Boris Graffiti bundled with Pinnacle Studio is the latest version of Boris Graffiti. Studio customers should not download the version 5.3 update; it includes no new features."

The official note is there: http://www.borisfx.com/updates/#graffiti

Latest information obtained from Boris FX:

The "standalone" version is called the KeyFamer. The Graffiti KeyFramer is a free, standalone application designed to create Boris Graffiti effects offline using any computer. The Graffiti KeyFramer features the same user interface as the plug-in but uses proxy images instead of your timeline video. Once you create effects in the KeyFramer, you save the settings to render in the plug-in. However, when you open these settings in your host application (Pinnacle Studio), you can still make adjustments to the settings before rendering. Simply install the KeyFramer on any system, type your text, format it, and then save a settings file.

Graffiti 5.3 was necessary to update other Graffiti 5.x customers with the new features that was developed for Pinnacle Studio. All improvements in Graffiti 5.3 are already included in the version of Graffiti that is bundled with Studio.

What is Boris Graffiti ?

Boris Graffiti can achieve any form of 2D and 3D text, especially with extruded fonts. Graffiti has a full range of animated possibilities: 3D text on a path (whose shape and position can also be animated), lighting, multiple 3D camera, and more.

These advanced features make it possible to modify the surface of a form in three dimensions. Graffiti lets you switch between 2D to 3D text, so you can literally give your title another dimension.

You can try without any trepidation because it is really very easy. All Graffiti tracks have a pop-up menu that lets you easily choose options.

For example, keyframes can create a movement in a title, you have multiple abilites in animation, effects of gradual emergence (the famous typewriter machine) or progressive dissolve, titles can wrap around an object, the ability to write several columns (generic Role, Actor with justification characters reversed - the first column on the right, left 2nd column).

The principle is very simple, you take one of the many effects ready for use in the library effects and :

You use it as is, or
You change it at your convenience.

Boris Graffiti can also add film filters that burn, the StarWars type title, ripples, spirals ...
In short, Boris Graffiti is a sophisticated titling solution.
The integration of Boris Graffiti V5 in Studio 12 Ultimate is something new that will save you time. Watch the demonstration (Boris Graffiti used in Pinnacle Studio).

What users do with Boris FX

This movie to the right is a demonstration created by Le Papy in less than 10 minutes and using effects included in Boris Graffiti 5 which is bundled with Studio 12 Ultimate.

No need to switch to "advanced mode" for such effects.
