Step 3: The Look

Ultimate productivity without compromising quality…

OPTIMAL MIX OF CONTROLS

Specifically built for your needs…Begin your experience by choosing the Sapphire product that’s best for you. If you require maximum design freedom and control, try Sapphire with over 220 effects and a vast array of design controls. If you require a great look in the fewest possible steps, try new Sapphire Edge, complete with over 350 preset looks – ideal for time-constrained videographers and video editors.

SEAMLESS
INTEGRATION

Streamlined and native…Sapphire plugs directly into your editing, effects, or finishing platform effortlessly. Our native look and feel minimizes the learning curve. Our commitment to engineering excellence ensures highest performance across all platforms and rapid deployment to maintain compatibility across host versions. 

EASY TO USE


Effect parameters allow you to adjust in real time…Simple sliders and visual browsers make it easy to create, adjust, and apply looks quickly. Highly interactive, speedy, and a limited learning curve are appealing qualities to all levels.

THE BEST LOOKS


Real-time access to the most extensive portfolio of continually refreshed pre-built looks…Sapphire features include a visual looks browser directly from within the product and a starter set of effect-based preset looks you can preview on your video in real time.
