Licensing: Improve subscription license handling. Sapphire Effect Builder: Fixed a bug where Builder might fail to open if inputs were left unconnected in the host. Sapphire Preset Browser: Fixed the “Source Only” entry of the preview menu. Sapphire Flare Designer: Improved shadow behavior on rays that are more vertical than horizontal. If the flare being inserted has no shadow, the existing shadow will be left alone. If the flare being inserted has a shadow, that shadow will be used instead of the existing shadow. Sapphire Flare Designer: Improved the “Insert Flare” behavior when shadows are involved. Sapphire Flare Designer: Improved the UI behavior around the “Preview Shadow Element” and “Shadow Parameter” buttons. Sapphire Preset Browser: Updated the Preset Browser to apply the OpenColorIO colorspace to the preset thumbnails. Sapphire Effect Builder: Fixed a sporadic crash when launching Builder with a large preset.

The Effect should now work correctly back in the host. If Sapphire Effect Builder loads with a nodegraph, click OK to return to the host. This will cause S_Effect to re-read the node graph. Inside the S_Effect generating the error, click on “Edit Effect”. The workaround when this error happens is as follows: When first opening an old project with S_Effect, you may still see a “Parsing failed” error. Sapphire Effect Builder: Fixed an error where opening old projects with S_Zap or S_WarpDrops inside an instance of S_Effect would result in a blank project inside Builder. Key features include over 270 effects and 3000+ presets, a powerful Effect and Transition Builder, and integrated tracking and masking with Mocha. If no GPU is available, Sapphire will render in CPU mode.Sapphire plug-ins let you create stunning organic looks unmatched by any host native effect tools.

METAL enabled cards are supported on Mac OS. We recommend using the latest NVIDIA Studio drivers, where possible. More information can be found here, under “Supported GPUs”. GPU Acceleration: An NVIDIA GPU with compute capability 3.5 (Kepler) or above. Monitor: 1920×1080 or higher, including high dpi 4k monitors Processor: 64-bit Intel or AMD CPU with four or more coresĭisk: High-speed disk array or SSD storage Linux:Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 & 8, CentOS 7 & 8 Individual results can vary based on many factors (CPU, comp size, bit depth, etc). On average, Sapphire renders are more than 20% quicker with MFR. Sapphire 2022 features faster speeds and shorter render times in Adobe After Effects with improved support for multi-frame rendering. Many older presets have been deprecated and replaced by new modern versions. Each new preset is designed with today’s artists in mind and delivers excellence in form and function. The 2022 release features 300+ new curated presets across all Sapphire effects.
