Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A — November 23, 2020 — The post-production industry relies on Boris FX Sapphire to create high-end visual effects that render out quickly. The new 2021 release is a significant technical step forward for any editor, artist, or motion graphics designer working on a Mac workstation. Sapphire 2021 delivers long-requested Metal GPU-acceleration to the plugin suite. Sapphire with Metal can render up to 4x faster compared to CPU-only. Sapphire 2021 also adds new effects, new presets, new lens flares, and updated functionality in the Sapphire Flare Designer.
Sapphire 2021 is now available as a plugin for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, and OFX hosts including Autodesk Flame, Foundry Nuke, Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, and VEGAS Pro.
“Sapphire users working on a Mac purchased within the last seven years have a lot to celebrate with the 2021 release,” says Boris Yamnitsky, President & Founder, Boris FX. “Metal GPU acceleration future-proofs renowned Sapphire rendering technology on the Mac platform and ensures optimal GPU utilization on upcoming Mac Silicon hardware.”
“The new S_UltraGlow and S_UltraZap effects represent the evolution of two of Sapphire’s most beloved effects, S_Glow and S_Zap. The new parameters and functionality deliver next-level photorealism with tons of new customization options,” states Brian Fox, Director of Product Marketing, Boris FX. “The stunning results add that extra visual pop to films, TV series, and promos. Both effects come jam-packed with professionally-designed presets that artists can simply drag and drop onto footage or use as a starting point to design new looks. We can’t wait to see how artists incorporate these slick new effects into projects.”
“Efficiency and speed are always better, especially given our normally tight turnarounds,” remarks Jonathan Ouellette, co-founder/creative director at LA and London-based creative agency, Kill 2 Birds . “Sapphire 2021’s shorter render times have been incredible for our workflow, not to mention the amazing new looks in UltraGlow and UltraZap. Sapphire is a critical component of our creative pipeline. We love it.”
Sapphire 2021 Highlights:
- New! Metal GPU Acceleration: More than 60 Sapphire effects have been rewritten specifically for Apple’s proprietary GPU language Metal. Sapphire users on current Macs (2014-present) now have access to the same blazing GPU-acceleration speeds that were previously only available to workstations with NVIDIA graphics cards. Performance improvements vary based on specific GPU, OS version, frame size, Sapphire effect, etc. Sapphire effects featuring Metal acceleration render 20-30% faster (on average) than CPU-only. Certain Sapphire effects like S_Rays can render up to 4x faster.
- New! S_UltraGlow effect: S_UltraGlow builds upon the popularity and power of S_Glow. S_UltraGlow emulates real-world optical-based glow with an easy-to-use interface featuring many customization options. Users have the ability to create a primary glow and a secondary “afterglow” for greater photorealism. In addition, the new Atmosphere parameter adds a smoky or misty look to glows and the new Highlight parameter introduces auto-animating sparkles or light sweeps across an image.
- New! S_UltraZap effect: S_UltraZap is a new sister effect to S_Zap. The souped-up effect makes creating the most photorealistic lightning and electricity effects easy. S_UltraZap builds upon S_Zap with new parameters and functionality including a secondary bolt system that wraps around the main bolt, custom animatable spline structure, or the ability to wrap around a native AE path/type, and integrated Mocha tracking and masking.
- New! LensFlare Designer improvements and new presets: The post-production industry’s most renowned lens flares add two new parameters to give even greater creative freedom to users. Users can now move flare elements off-axis and adjust their relative speeds. Includes new photorealistic flare presets designed by professional and in-house artists.

What are the exact shows & events I'll get tickets to?
The Low Down
You must be a member of Plug In Vegas to see the shows and events we offer. We don’t even allow current members to post what shows, events or venues we partner with.
The reason for this is simple.
If we were to publicly post we’re offering our members comp tickets to a particular show or event, people would just join Plug In Vegas and no one would ever buy tickets from the venue. While you might say this sounds great for us, we would no longer be able to offer you great shows and events because the venues we work with would go out of business.
As we know this is not ideal for people interested in our service our membership comes with no contract allowing you to cancel at any time. You can check us out for a month, and if it’s not a fit for you, you do not have to stick around.
The Average Value of Our Tickets
The average value of our tickets if you were to have to pay for them would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $50-$150 per ticket. Some of the tickets we offer are worth much more than this. Your membership will more than pay for itself for several months or years just by attending one or two events.
How does it all work?
Here are the steps to go from sitting at home or work to getting in the door for free at a show, event, or attraction in town.
Step 1 | Join and become a member
It takes less than five minutes to sign up and join our awesome family. Within minutes you'll be surfing the list of events and on your way to attending your first comp event.
Step 2 | Check the website periodically to see our list of awesome events
When you log into your private member’s area, you might see something you want to attend right away, and maybe you won’t. Our list of events is always changing and growing. Often, we don’t get notified about shows until the week of or even day of. Half the fun of Plug In Vegas is checking to see what new things are available!
We also have a private Facebook group, private member’s-only email list, and text notifications to which we occasionally send out notifications for new shows and events. These features are available to all of our members free of charge. We do not always send out notifications of new events, so you still want to log in from time to time to see what is available.
Step 3 | See one you like? Click a few buttons and you are registered
It takes about 15 seconds to register for a show or event and reserve your comp tickets. Click on the event you want to attend, select the appropriate number of tickets, and click reserve. You’ll receive an email confirmation to the email address associated with your user account, and you’re all set.
Step 4 | Go to the event, pick up your tickets at the box office
Sapphire Plugin Free
You don’t have to wait in a special line or say a magical phrase. All you do is walk up to the box office counter and tell them your name and that you are picking up tickets from Plug In Vegas. They will smile, hand you your comp tickets, and tell you to enjoy the show or event.
Step 5 | Rinse and repeat as many times a month as you'd like! (Tickets are first come, first serve)
Depending upon the membership you choose, you get up to two or four free tickets every single day! This means if you really feel like going to 30 shows and events a month, go for it! All we ask is that our members attend any show they reserve tickets to.
Are the tickets really free?
Yes. The only thing you pay is your monthly membership fee. If you use your membership one time or 30 times during the month, the cost is the exact same.
There are no hidden fees, handling fees, per ticket fees, box office fee, made up fees, or any additional fees ever.

Make New Local Friends and Meet New People
New to town? Your mom tell you that you need to be more social? Just got out of a relationship? Looking to make some new friends? Plug In Vegas aims to help locals get connected with other fun locals in town who are looking to get out and have a good time. It can be hard in the city of Vegas to meet new people, and we are doing our best to fix that.
Our locals-only entertainment club operates like a family. Our membership team is constantly running hosted events where we get together as a group and do things together. This is a sure fire way to make new friends and get back out there. If you're shy or slow to make friends, don't worry; we are an incredibly fun and welcoming group and would love to have you as part of our family. If you just want to do your own thing, though, that's okay too.
Are there any contracts? Can I cancel if it's not for me?
You are free to cancel at any time and you will not be charged again. Here's the thing. We only want you to be a member of Plug In Vegas if you are truly enjoying your time with us. For that reason, we offer our memberships on a month-to-month basis. If you happen to join and it's not for you or you move or get too busy, you can cancel at any time right from within your user account with simply the click of a button and your membership will end at the end of that month and you won’t be charged again.
There are no cancellation fees or crazy hoops to jump through. Cancel anytime hassle-free. We do this because we are confident in our service and only want members that want to be a part of our service.
It says there is a waiting list. What does that mean?
Plug In Vegas is an exclusive membership club only for Las Vegas locals. We never want our membership base to get too large where the quality of service is diminished. By capping the size of our membership, we ensure all of our members get the highest quality of service.
To join Plug In Vegas, you'll need to join the waiting list first. From time to time our members move and leave the club. When this happens, we open up that available slot to the first name on the waiting list. If that's you, we will send you a sign up link via email. You'll have 72 hours to decide if you'd like the slot. If you join during that time frame, you're in. If you choose not to join, we will remove you from the waiting list after 72 hours and offer the slot to next person in line.
