Boris FX Sapphire 2022 15.0 (Avid)

Boris FX Sapphire 是一套專為 Adobe 與 OFX 平台設計的進階特效外掛包，主要解決專業剪輯師在後製時需要更豐富視覺效果的需求。它最顯眼的特色在於內建 Flare Designer、Lens Flare、PixelSort、WhipLash 等特效，並提供大量轉場與動畫工具，能大幅改變專案整體樣貌。這套外掛自 2021 年起持續推出新版本，近一年內也有多次更新，屬於長期維護的產品；在影片軟體分類中評價人數不算多，但評分普遍不錯，算是同類中的專業取向選擇。

這套工具適合經常使用 Adobe 系列軟體進行影片後製的專業工作者，尤其是需要快速產出高質感光暈、轉場或特殊影像效果時會特別派上用場。與 KMPlayer、K-Lite Codec Pack 這類播放或解碼工具相比，Sapphire 是截然不同的定位，它專注於特效生成而非影音播放，因此沒有替代性問題。要注意的是它提供的是試用版，僅支援英文介面，且檔案體積不小，下載前需確認硬體與軟體環境是否相容。
