The largest effect toolkit in post production, covering keying, tracking, particles, titles, film looks, and image restoration across every major host application.
Overview
Continuum is not one plugin, it is several hundred organised into units. Keying and compositing, particles, titles, film and image restoration, lights and lens flares, blur and sharpen, and a large stylise collection all install together, which is why it takes up as much space as a full application.
The units that get the most use are the practical ones. The keyer handles difficult green screen with spill suppression that does not turn skin grey, the restoration tools remove dust, scratches, and sensor noise from old footage, and the beauty studio unit smooths skin without erasing texture the way a plain blur does.
Mocha planar tracking is built into the effects themselves rather than sitting outside them. That means a mask drawn for a sign replacement or a face blur tracks through the shot from inside the same effect, which removes a great deal of back and forth between applications.
Host coverage is unusually broad. The package installs for After Effects, Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro, Resolve, Media Composer, and the OFX hosts in one pass, and the same project settings read correctly across all of them.
