  • Beauty - A new effect that leverages the new EdgeAware technology to beautify talking heads by softening and color correcting skin tones.
  • EdgeAwareBlur - Powered by our new EdgeAware technology, this effect allows you to blur while preserving detail.
  • Advanced Sharpen - The Sharpen tool has been updated with the ability to sharpen features of different amounts and sizes for increased flexibility and control.
  • LensFlare - Now enhanced with faster rendering, animation options, atmospheric noise, and presets to duplicate popular real-world lenses.
  • Zap - Updated to include 3D rotation and the option to follow a path, giving you the option to control the shape it takes.
