  • 40) Boris Red 4
    Boris Red integrates 2D and 3D compositing, sophisticated titling, paint, rotoscoping, a suite of tools to create and extrude vector objects, 3D creation and animation. The Vector Trace tool enables the conversion from a raster bitmap image such as a tiff, jpeg or a frame from a movie file to a scalable vector graphic with the ability to extrude any of the resulting vector shapes. Images are converted into vector by selecting the Vector Trace tool and then dragging the tool over the image to be converted. Options for this function include the ability to select the color or alpha channel with which to base the conversion. Red works with Win XP and Mac OS X. Price: USD $295 for upgrades; $795 for Boris users; and $995 for the full version.
