“I equate GenArts with high-quality plugins, and Sapphire Edge carries the same film-quality effects that I’ve trusted to Sapphire for years. Edge is a deserved addition to the Sapphire lineup.”

Jamie Hitchings, Head Editor & Finisher

Proffer Productions

"I like the Film Style presets, it has some really great looks in there and the ability to customize them further. For me it's intuitive to use as I was able to install and jump in and use them without having to read any documentation. Most of the looks are good to go straight out the box, which saves time."

"The most amazing set of tools that any editor could ask for!"

Sue Lawson, President

"GenArts takes a new approach to their software... This can really be a work-reducing, time-saving advantage to the editor whose clients may be finicky, where production quality is at a premium, and where time consumption is of a major concern."

"My bread and butter is historical documentaries and tribute videos. Sapphire Edge gives me some easy-to-use tools that put a little snap into things, to help keep viewers' attention. It integrates well with Vegas 10, which is the NLE I use."

Fred Shadko, Video Creator

"...the quality of the effects becomes evident once you dig in."

StudioDaily

"I finally feel like the effect presets within Sapphire Edge offer a creative jumping-off point rather than a throwaway afterthought that we get with a lot of plugin packages. Not only does it really step up the sought-after effects but it breathes life into some that I believed could never be used again."

"...they're the best there is on the market..."
