Q and A with Boris Yamintsky about the Boris FX – GenArts Acquisition
By Jim Bask
One of the surprise acquisition announcements to come out of IBC 2016 (I mean besides Blackmagic buy Fairlight) was the announcement that Boris FX had acquired GenArts and the heavyweight effects package Sapphire. It came as a surprise since Boris FX makes the competing plug-in package Boris Continuum Complete. There are probably a lot of users of either and both packages who wonder what this might mean for the products they have invested time and money in.The time investment is an important one in this case as both the Sapphire and BCC package takes quite a big time investment in which to master them. I think if you know one well it’s entirely possible to move to the other but even that will take time to learn.
