Sapphire Visual Effects

"We know that if Nuke doesn’t have something, Sapphire will. There’s simply no need to buy more packages."

"Sapphire is a very robust and varied toolset that we draw on in many different ways and often use them in combination with each other. And because the product is so flexible and so powerful, and the controls are so intuitive, we're able to empower our artists to make the visual effects as realistic as possible."

"The quality and speed I get from using Sapphire sets me apart from other small shops. And the fact that I can do it all alone and get these results translates into a bigger profit for me. I don't have to hire other artists to create these effects."

"They have polished look, which will appeal to a wide range of motion graphic designers."

"We used Sapphire to create many looks for Spider-Man that would have been nearly impossible to achieve otherwise."

"Sapphire is simply one of the best designed and well-executed products on the market for digital compositing. It's so fundamental to our workflow – we used them on almost every single composite."

"There’s a reason I’ve been using Sapphire all these years: It simply makes my job easier. Lots of tools don’t exist in packages like Nuke, so having Sapphire’s extra suite of tools at my disposal provides a tremendous level of comfort as I go about my day. I’ve really come to rely on them."

"Sapphire is an excellent package that helped us make The Lord of the Rings."

"I have never experienced anything even close to Sapphire on the desktop platform. It is nothing less than breathtaking."

"We couldn't have done District 9 without the Sapphire plug-ins."

"Sapphire has allowed me the creative freedom to achieve a truly professional look of multi-layered treated video, which was previously unattainable on the Media Composer."

"With Sapphire, you can design something, hit the play button in Nuke, and adjust sliders and such while you watch it. It’s outstanding – and it really makes our lives easier."

"Using industry standard software and plug-ins like Sapphire not only allows us to communicate better across various platforms in our pipeline, but it simplifies our collaboration/communication with other award-winning studios into a seamless, integrated solution."

"Sapphire has so many different options and parameters that each look you create has a sense of being totally unique. It’s the best set of plug-ins for After Effects I know."

"We use GenArts Sapphire for absolutely everything. Honestly, I wouldn’t be able to use Flame if I didn’t have Sapphire – it’s just indispensable."
