Visible and invisible visual effects combine to create the unforgettable look and feel that defines your video, improve its quality, and boost performance and audience engagement. GenArts recently released the latest version of the industry standard visual effects plugin, Sapphire v6, bringing After Effects users many new and notable features including: a redesigned LensFlare Effect and Flare Designer, so you can build and customize your own flares; 3D Lens Flares, allowing you to control the flare within your 3D compositing environment; Presets that enable you to gain inspiration or edit from hundreds of pre-built looks as your starting point; as well as numerous new effects and transitions including Flashbulbs, Caustics, and MuzzleFlash.
In this session, Todd Prives of GenArts will demo three Sapphire effects from the latest version: LensFlare (including the Flare Designer), FilmEffect, and Glow. See the effects in action, and find out how you can create stunning, organic looks with Sapphire’s unmatched balance of superior image quality, control, and speed.

Thanks so much for moving motion+connect to the mornings! It’ll be so much easier to watch on my laptop or desktop than trying to watch on my smart phone while commuting!
I do have a request. How about making the text in the emails darker – like black? I know gray text is a current trend but greater contrast creates greater legibility. Thanks in advance for considering!
how about send a reminder .5hr before event
Thank for the suggestion @jojo. We will be sending a reminder to all who have RSVP’d 30 minutes before showtime!
