Updated : Boris FX has released Sapphire 2021.5. The Glow and Zap filters, the latter for generating effects like lightning bolts, have been rebooted as S_UltraGlow and S_UltraZap and there are over 45 new presets and 10 new lens flares. Over 60 of Sapphire’s effects have been rewritten to support Metal. The update adds support for GPU acceleration via Apple’s Metal API as well as Nvidia’s CUDA, reducing render times on new Macs that lack Nvidia GPUs by “an average of 20%” over Sapphire 2020.5.
