Introducing Boris FX's Machine Learning Enhancements for Continuum's Visual Effects Toolsuite
Boris FX has unveiled its latest release, Continuum 2025, a plugin collection that boasts enhanced machine-learning capabilities. This suite of tools is designed to streamline video editing and compositing tasks in professional workflows, delivering high-quality results while saving time [1].
AI-Driven Effects for Realistic Motion Blur and License Plate Handling
Continuum 2025 introduces several new features, including advanced AI-driven effects such as Motion Blur ML and License Plate ML. Motion Blur ML leverages machine learning to create realistic motion blur that enhances the smoothness and natural appearance of moving objects in footage. On the other hand, License Plate ML uses AI to detect, isolate, and manipulate vehicle license plates automatically, facilitating tasks like blurring or replacement without manual masking [3][4].
Extensive Effects and Presets for Professional Video Editing
Beyond these specific features, Continuum 2025 offers over 250 professional effects and 4000 presets that cover artistic styling, sharpness, color correction, depth of field, blur, lighting, particle effects, textured transitions, and both 2D and 3D title creation. The plugin suite is designed to streamline video editing and compositing tasks in professional workflows [1].
Updated Custom FX Editor and Performance Boost
The custom FX Editor has been updated to boost performance and enhance workflows. Users can now enjoy faster playback of filtered results, thanks to the new image caching system [2].
Key & Blend Category Updates
The Key & Blend category includes updated GPU-accelerated effects like BCC+ Linear Color Key, BCC+ Two Way Keyer, and BCC+PixelChooser for easy green screen footage keying and garbage masking.
New Transitions and Effects
Four new drag-and-drop transitions have been added to the Transitions category, including BCC+ Smoke & Fog, BCC+ Smoke Wipe, BCC+ Atmospheric Glow Dissolve, and BCC+ Orbs Dissolve. Additionally, Continuum 2025 features BCC+ Motion Blur ML, which allows users to adjust blur intensity and direction, and BCC+ License Plate ML, which automatically scans a scene for vehicles and obscures alphanumeric identifiers.

Continuum 2025 is available with subscription pricing starting at $195/year. Customers on active subscriptions or upgrade & support plans receive the 2025 product release as a complimentary update. The plugin suite is also available with monthly/annual subscriptions, upgrade & support plans, and permanent licenses [5].
