This is a very important factor! New to Sapphire 8 You’ll find a lot more helpful tools in Sapphire 8 compared to other similar products where their focus is on pretty “makeup” effects.
Sapphire 8 also has a broader set of plugins, containing not just cool blurs and stylized effects, but also tools for color/footage correction, lens flares, and time displacement effects. To sum it up, Sapphire is like a polished and refined version of Universe without the fluff, which is no surprise as its been around for a lot longer. In my opinion, plugins in Sapphire have a lot more controls and parameters to experiment with, giving you more control over the looks you want to achieve.
The plugins seem just as fast as Red Giant’s Universe, and the plugins parameters and default settings seem a lot more optimized.
Unlike Red Giant’s Universe & FxFactory’s suite of plugins, Sapphire seems to have a lot more useful plugins with less “fun but corny” plugins cluttering up the collection, something I highly appreciate. Sapphire 8 has a lot of variation of plugins within categories, each achieving different looks. Quality & Variation of Sapphire in Comparison They have over 250 plugins, each ranging from glows, blurs, distortions, lights, transitions, and much more. Think of it as an older brother of Red Giant’s Universe plugins. GenArts’ Sapphire is a suite of plugins available for many host applications that cater to helping you create better motion graphics and visual effects. I will take a stab at explaining Sapphire in general as a set of plugins as well also some features specifically from Sapphire 8. Aside from being one of the earlier set of plugins from one of the first primary software developers in the industry, what makes the Sapphire collection, specifically Sapphire 8, so streamlined in the production workflow? Let’s take a look.įirstly, I want to clarify that I have not touched Sapphire prior to this review, so Sapphire 8 is my first version diving into GenArts’ ecosystem. No doubt if you have been in this industry for awhile, you are at least familiar with GenArts’ Sapphire collection. GenArts Sapphire 8 is an industry standard set of plugins, known for its use in high-end production environments including broadcast, advertisements, and film.
