New in Sapphire Plug-ins v8:
The latest version of the high-end VFX plugin suite has been updated with effects and features that are essential to producing modern, creative looks. This includes the biggest addition to Sapphire in its history: a new feature called “Builder” that lets users create their own effects and transitions.

New and Updated Effects: Sapphire 8 includes these new and updated effects, available on all host applications:
- Grunge: Add a variety of natural-looking elements to dirty up a shot, add sophisticated vignettes, or create complex textures. Choose from a variety of categories: cracks, stains, frost, and more, which can be combined and animated.
- LightLeak: Simulate light leaking into the frame for an organic lighting effect more subtle than a lens flare. Control the color and movement of the lights to add nostalgic warmth and energy to your work.
- DigitalDamage: The modern equivalent of FilmDamage, DigitalDamage simulates digital playback errors and noise, compression errors, and glitches, with seven different damage types that can be combined for additional customization.
- Shake: Updated with two additional modes that result in twitchy and jumpy motion, and new channel parameters allowing for color channel separation as the shaking occurs.
- Crosshatch: Apply a pattern of crossing lines in pencil or chalk to give footage a sketched look. Crosshatch compliments Sapphire's other artistic effects, such as AutoPaint, Sketch, and Cartoon.

New Features - Builder with Enhanced Preset Browser:
Builder gives users the ability to create their own effects and transitions in a node-based workspace for unprecedented creativity and efficiency, thus unleashing the full power of Sapphire. In Builder, users have the flexibility to stack and connect Sapphire effects in ways that were not previously possible in Adobe and Avid hosts. All new effects and transitions developed in the workspace are saved as cross-host presets, and are loaded as a single plugin onto a timeline. This flexibility can be especially helpful for editors. Since Builder allows effects to be combined, results that would have taken multiple steps can now be achieved with a single effect.

Что такое OFX?
В 2009 году была сформирована Ассоциация открытых эффектов (The Open Effects Association, OFX), которую первоначально организовали семь компаний: Assimilate, Autodesk, Digieffects, FilmLight, The Foundry, GenArts и RE:Vision Effects. Её цель - разработка и популяризация открытых стандартов в среде профессионалов по созданию визуальных эффектов. Это позволяет художникам создавать впечатляющие эффекты для всего, что демонстрируется аудитории. Изначально ассоциация сосредоточилась на улучшении открытого стандарта на подключаемые модули для обработки изображений с эффектами, разработанного компанией The Foundry в 2004 году. Назначение же OpenFX API состоит в уменьшении интенсивности разработок и поддержке, необходимой для подключаемых модулей на различных платформах монтажа и обработки.

New Features - Builder with Enhanced Preset Browser:
Builder gives users the ability to create their own effects and transitions in a node-based workspace for unprecedented creativity and efficiency, thus unleashing the full power of Sapphire. In Builder, users have the flexibility to stack and connect Sapphire effects in ways that were not previously possible in Adobe and Avid hosts. All new effects and transitions developed in the workspace are saved as cross-host presets, and are loaded as a single plugin onto a timeline. This flexibility can be especially helpful for editors. Since Builder allows effects to be combined, results that would have taken multiple steps can now be achieved with a single effect.

1. Загрузите и установите RLM-сервер 'Genarts RLM Server'

2. Установите модуль Saphire

Удалите файл 'rlm_demo_xxx.lic' из след. папок:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GenArts\rlm\
C:\ProgramData\GenArts\rlm\ (скрытая папка!)

3. Остановите RLM-сервер через оснастку Службы (если запустился),
называется 'RLM-GenArts'

Скопируйте С ЗАМЕНОЙ все файлы, кроме 'genarts_amped_win.txt',
из папки '\AMPED' в папку:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GenArts\rlm

4. Откройте файл 'genarts.lic' текстовым редактором (Блокнотом).
Отредактируйте след. строку:

HOST localhost ANY 5053

Имя машины (localhost) и MAC-адрес (ANY) можно получить
через командную строку, введите команду:
ipconfig /all
или же запустите bat-файл GenArts, который лежит в папке RLM-сервера
(hostid.bat)

Отредактированная строка должна выглядеть так:
HOST COMPNAME 00248C0AB0F3 5053

Сохраните внесённые изменения в файл лицензии.

5. Скопируйте изменённый файл 'genarts.lic' в скрытую(!) папку:
C:\ProgramData\GenArts\rlm

6. Есть два способа сообщить модулю GenArts откуда запущен сервер:

а) задать Системную переменную среды в Windows:
Имя переменной: genarts_LICENSE
Значение переменной: 5053@localhost (изменить номер порта и сервер при необходимости)
б) посредством файла 'genarts_host.lic'.
Откройте его Блокнотом в папке 'C:\Program Files (x86)\GenArts\rlm'
и добавьте строку:
genarts_LICENSE=5053@localhost
(изменить номер порта и сервер при необходимости)

7. Запустите RLM-сервер через оснастку Службы.
Состояние RLM-сервера можно проверить
через веб-нитерфейс RLM (http://localhost:5054)

Установить RLM server 11.2.2.0. Файл genarts-rlm-server-install-11.2.2.0.exe
Установить программу. Файл sapphire-ae-install-10.0.exe
В диспетчере завершить процесс rlm

Из папки AMPED скопировать с заменой файлы:

Свой статус программа заработала благодаря идеальному балансу между управлением творческим процессом и продуктивностью работы. Sapphire — это пакет более чем из 200 новейших внешних модулей для обработки изображений и синтеза эффектов, таких как Glows, EdgeRays, LensFlare, Lightning, FilmEffect, Warps и Textures. Он отличается несравненным качеством изображения, уникальным органичным интерфейсом и исключительной управляемостью. Sapphire использовался при создании большого числа фильмов, удостоенных премии «Оскар». Экранные мини-приложения и справочная документация в Интернете облегчают работу над проектом, а все модули поддерживают многоядерные процессоры и работают с 8/16/32-битными изображениями.

New In Sapphire 10:

New Effects:
• Brush (Brush:Oil and Brush:Chalk) simulates the look of drawing and painting by layering brush strokes of different
sizes and directions.
• Luna renders the Earth's Moon; you can adjust phase and colors, and add atmospheric effects.
• RomanTile generates a mosaic pattern based on the Source clip.

New Features:
• S_Effect now has Mask and Background inputs. In AE the mask input is compatible with AE paths.
• Improvements to Builder:
- Mask and Background nodes have been added to every effect.
- Nodes can now be snapped to a grid.
- Preview selected node now remembers its state across Builder sessions.
- Duplicating a node now creates a nicer name.
• Improvements to Preset Browser:
- "Builder Effects" button shows all multi-effect presets.
- "New" button shows all presets added in the current version of Sapphire.
- Some older presets have been deprecated and hidden. Visit the Settings dialog in the Preset Browser to show deprecated presets.
- Previews no longer animate by default, press play to begin animation (animation will continue if another preset is selected).
• InfiniteZoom now handles large values of Twist and Zoom better.
• Show widget checkboxes now work in all effects.
• The license-tool can now perform offline license activation on the command line.

Compatibility matrix:
OS: Windows 7, 8, 10 (64-bit)
Host Platform:
- Adobe After Effects CC / CC 2014 / CC 2015, 64-bit ONLY

Что такое OFX?
В 2009 году была сформирована Ассоциация открытых эффектов (The Open Effects Association, OFX), которую первоначально организовали семь компаний: Assimilate, Autodesk, Digieffects, FilmLight, The Foundry, GenArts и RE:Vision Effects. Её цель - разработка и популяризация открытых стандартов в среде профессионалов по созданию визуальных эффектов. Это позволяет художникам создавать впечатляющие эффекты для всего, что демонстрируется аудитории. Изначально ассоциация сосредоточилась на улучшении открытого стандарта на подключаемые модули для обработки изображений с эффектами, разработанного компанией The Foundry в 2004 году. Назначение же OpenFX API состоит в уменьшении интенсивности разработок и поддержке, необходимой для подключаемых модулей на различных платформах монтажа и обработки.
