About Boris FX Continuum
Continuum is a plugin collection from Boris FX that adds visual effects and finishing tools to video editing and compositing applications. It is not a standalone editor; it installs into a host application so editors can apply effects without leaving their usual workflow.
The plugins are published for Adobe hosts, Avid, and OFX-compatible applications, and the company provides a Boris FX Hub for managing plugins and applications together. The vendor also publishes AI-powered tools, tutorials, premium training and product videos for learning.
Continuum is commercial software from a company that also makes products for photography, pro audio and other effects work. It suits editors and motion designers who want to polish video or animation within the tools they already use.
