Sapphire PixelMoshGlitch your art with beautifully precise imperfections using the new Sapphire PixelMosh plugin. Smear and drag pixels from one group of frames to another. Add bursting blobs of color that bloom and pulsate or digital decay with corrupted, stuck frames. Combines seamlessly with other Sapphire damage effects inside S_Effect and S_Transition. |
|
Sapphire DustBreathe life into every frame with the new Sapphire Dust Effect. S_Dust is blazing-fast, replicates the look of a simple particle simulation without the complexity, and includes rich, user-friendly controls. It’s perfect for adding a touch of photorealism to CG renders, creating a cinematic atmosphere, and enhancing motion graphics. Set the mood with a few shimmering specks or unleash a turbulent sandstorm. Create more stunning results by pairing it with other classic Sapphire effects inside S_Effect and S_Transition. |
|
Improved Time EffectsEvery effect in the Sapphire Time category is re-engineered with better behavior and refined functionality. The collection features 30 effects focused on time manipulation. Each effect now renders quickly and accurately, and you can now use them within S_Effect and S_Transition. |
Highlights
Built For Speed And Excellence Sapphire is built for the pros. Its suite of over 270 effects features image processing algorithms that produce Hollywood’s highest-quality results. Each Sapphire effect is GPU-accelerated for faster rendering with NVIDIA CUDA technology for Windows and Linux, and Apple’s Metal technology for macOS, along with native support for M1-powered Macs. Look no further if you’re a professional artist looking to create an array of stunning visuals with blazing speeds. |

Learn The Language Of Sapphire Sapphire effects are loved for a beautifully designed and carefully laid out top-down parameter workflow often structured with a guided order of operations. The user-friendly experience — paired with a uniform naming structure and speedy workflow — makes it easy for editors and artists to start creating gorgeous effects. Sapphire also features a large online library of tutorials to teach you about the effects or provide you with inspiration on what to create next! |
