Description
Sapphire plug-ins enable the creation of breathtaking organic aesthetics that surpass the capabilities of any built-in effect tools provided by host applications. Among the prominent features are more than 270 effects and over 3000 presets, a robust effect and transition builder, alongside integrated tracking and masking powered by the award-winning Mocha software. The exceptional image quality, control, and rapid rendering speed of Sapphire contribute to significant time efficiency, allowing creators to concentrate on what truly matters: making an impactful impression that keeps viewers engaged. Mac users will be thrilled with the arrival of Metal GPU acceleration in Sapphire 2021, which enhances over 60 effects. With Metal acceleration, dramatic improvements in speed are possible; for instance, S_Rays can render more than four times faster compared to CPU-only processing. Although performance can fluctuate based on the specifications of the GPU, host application, operating system version, and specific Sapphire effects, Sapphire 2021 with Metal acceleration typically achieves rendering speeds that are 20% quicker than when using CPU alone, making it an essential tool for professionals aiming to elevate their work. This makes Sapphire an indispensable asset in the toolkit of any creative professional.
