Academy and Emmy Award-Winning VFX Tools. Boris FX Silhouette 2021 is here! Silhouette is a best-in-class, GPU-accelerated compositing application, delivering the industry’s most robust non-destructive paint and roto tools to feature film and visual effects teams. Since 2005, Silhouette has made its mark on Hollywood’s biggest films including Avatar, Black Panther, Avengers: End Game, and many more. What's New:

Silhouette 2021
New plugin and major new features. Silhouette 2021 goes beyond traditional roto and cleanup as a professional node-based compositing system with 154 nodes designed for every finishing task.

- New! Lens Correction node
- New! Improved roto shape editing and keyframing tools
- New! Review & approval notes
- New! Improved user interface, movie file support with Gstreamer, and much more

Lens Correction
Powered by Silhouette’s roto tools, the new Lens Correction node can quickly calibrate and correct lens distortion for advanced effects tasks. Paint on an undistorted view or generate and export a ST Map for other host applications. The Lens Correction node is built on shared technology from Mocha Pro’s Lens Module.

New Roto & Editing Tools:

Brush Reshape
Uses a circular brush to automatically select and then move points when you click and drag them using the Magnetic Reshape behavior.

Point Collapse and Distribute
Collapses a selection of points into a very small area which can later be distributed between surrounding points. This is useful for shapes whose complexity changes over time.

Point Groups
Groups of points can be pre-defined and then quickly edited as a group in the Reshape and Transform tools.

Split Shapes
Similar to the Split Edit function in non-linear editing systems where a clip is split in two, Split Shapes is useful for shapes that transform from simple to complex and vice-versa.

Weighted MultiFrame
Using the new Fade In/Fade Out parameters, keyframe adjustments can be dynamically weighted over user-definable time periods to control the intensity of an adjustment over multiple keyframes.

New Review and Approval and User Interface Improvements
Notes assigned to objects (shapes, layers, trackers) can now be displayed in the viewer. This is a useful review and approval tool for artists to easily see notes from their supervisors.

New Nodes: Alpha Composite, Dot, Notes, OCIO Colorspace/Display/LUT
Many User Interface Improvements: Custom File Importer, Flyout Menus, Node Coloring, Node Alignment, OCIO Roles, Sapphire Node Tab, and more!
Release Notes
Bug Fixes:

Deleting A Note Node Caused The Viewer To Go Blank
When a Note node was deleted, the Viewer went blank.

Enable Active Session In Plugin
The plug-in was only able to render the first session list entry. Now, when there are multiple sessions, you can now select a session to be used for rendering.

Missing Icons
The Paint Preferences and Auto Paint > Add Group icons were missing.

Roto Tool Selection Opened Timeline In Maximize Viewer
When using the Maximize Viewer workspace, selecting Roto tools mistakenly brought up the Timeline.

Reverted a recent OFX alpha handling change that caused Sapphire support to have unexpected results when working with RGBA images.
