  • Enhanced Apple Motion Integration. BCC 6 FxPlug’s 3D Objects filters now allow 3D extruded text, logos, and EPS graphics to respond to Motion’s native camera.
  • Revamped Optical Stabilizer Filter. BCC Optical Stabilizer, which automatically smoothes or completely eliminates shaky camera motion, now provides more feedback during the image analysis process. In addition, a new Autoscale option automatically transform scales a locked down clip so that it fills the frame or composite window.
