Sapphire PixelMosh

Glitch 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 Dust

Breathe 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 Effects

Every 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.
