Boris FX has presented a new version of its plug-in for 2D and 3D vector title animations. Boris Graffiti 5.0 works with most NLE editing systems and is technically based on Boris Red 4.0.

A redesigned user interface is oriented more closely to the look and feel of NLEs. For example, there is a mini-timeline in the Composite window with tools for keyframe animation, and “magnetic” windows provide a tidier interface.

The import and further procesing of EPS files and a library with templates for designing titles more quickly are also new. Furthermore, there are now a total of 40 filters for editing the title.

The plug-in now accepts various Avid applications, Edius 4 and Sony Vegas 7 as new host environments.

For Intel Mac users, a native version is intended to be available as a free update later this month.

Boris Graffiti 5.0 is available, among other places, through the Boris FX website and costs 299 dollars new. The update costs 199 dollars. Bundle offers and a demo version for testing are also available.
