I just watched a demo video for the Boris Continuum plugin called Motion Key. The instructor showed how unbelievably easy it was to use Motion Key to remove a moving foreground object, in this case a car traveling across a locked-off street scene. In a few clicks, the vehicle was gone. Bam! Magic. This looks like a seriously cool plugin…
You can see it in action yourself by checking out the Remove Moving Foreground Objects with BCC Motion Key video at www.borisfx.com/podcasts/ (direct m4v link). The Motion Key plugin is part of the full $895 Continuum Complete package, and also now available in $199 Units. The plugins are supported in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, and Motion. Motion Key is included as part of Boris Continuum Complete AVX for Avid systems (no Unit-only purchase, apparently).
Apologies for the tongue-in-cheek subtitle. I could not resist. In my defense the plugin weighs the same as a duck, and turned my editing assistant into a newt.
