What's New in BCC 6 AVX for Avid DS

• 64-bit OS Support. Based on Avid's AVX 1 plug-in architecture, BCC 6 AVX for DS supports 64-bit versions of Avid DS, including Version 10 and higher.
• New Fast-rendering OpenGL Filters such as 3D Extruded Image Shatter, Damaged TV, Glint, Glare, Glitter, LED, Lens Flare, Lightning, Prism, Scanline, and Tile Mosaic.
• Pixel Fixer removes bad pixels resulting from a faulty digital camera sensor or dust on a camera lens. Up to ten bad spots can be repaired with a single filter application - without any degradation of image quality or sharpness.
• Smooth Tone smoothes or softens an image while preserving detail contrast, making skin tones silky-smooth without loss of sharpness in the image.
• Other New Effects include Charcoal Sketch, Pencil Sketch, Water Color, Cartoon Look, a Swish Pan transition filter, and DV Fixer for removal of jaggies from an image clip.
• Significant Performance Gains. Every BCC 6 AVX for DS filter is either OpenGL-based or multiprocessor-accelerated for ultimate rendering speed.

Does anyone know why is this based on AVX 1? That means Boris AVX 2 filters used in MC/Symphony won't conform. Correct?

Currently, DS only supports AVX 1 ... but that could change.  I'm not sure how the conform will work in the interim.

If you bring a MC timeline with AVX2 effects into DS they will show up blank.  This is currently a limitation in DS, and is the case with all AVX 2 effects not just BCC. When this changes and BCC can be tested as AVX2 there will be a free update.
