What's NEW! for Sapphire 2025.5

AI-Powered Effect Tracking & Masking
Sapphire 2025.5 introduces two cutting-edge AI tools via Mocha's built-in masking and tracking interface. Simply click to generate an editable spline around your subject with Object Brush ML. Then, track it across frames using Mocha. Matte Assist ML takes it further. Instantly create animated, segmented mattes from a single frame. Together, they deliver fast, accurate, and effortless masking - perfect for isolating a Glow, Zap, or any Sapphire effect without ever leaving the interface.

A Fresh, Modern UI
Sapphire 2025.5 debuts a sleek new user interface across the Preset Browser, Effect and Transition Builder, and Flare Designer. The updated UI has a smoother, more intuitive workflow with refined controls, cleaner layouts, and a modern look and feel. It's easier than ever to browse presets, build custom effects, and design cinematic lens flares.

Sapphire VHS Damage
Create the iconic look of VHS with unmatched authenticity. Embrace the low-fi, analog vibe with customizable modules that replicate everything from tracking errors and color shifts to downsampling and subtle tape wobble. VHS Damage allows you to craft a unique look by enabling only the effects you want. It’s completely module and procedural — no overlays, just pure VHS charm. Use it for everything from subtle nostalgia to a heavily damaged, retro aesthetic.

Modular Damage Controls
VHS Damage isn’t just one look. With a fully modular setup, you can enable and adjust individual components like color degradation, tape noise, fast forward, and more. This flexibility lets you achieve the exact level of vintage distortion you’re after.

Downsampling and Interlacing
VHS wasn’t made for (Ultra) HD, and neither is VHS Damage. Start by downsampling your beautiful high-res footage to standard-definition levels, with options to adjust pixel size, downsample color values, and introduce interlaced combing for true analog accuracy.

Customizable Color Artifacts
Simulate the uneven color retention of real VHS with color bloom, chromatic aberration, and color downsampling effects. Adjust these controls to bring out the classic, smeary color and faded tones that give VHS its unique warmth.

Extensive Preset Library
Dive right in with a library of presets designed to match different VHS tape eras, from subtle wear to full degradation. Choose a preset, make a few tweaks, and you’re ready to recreate a classic VHS masterpiece.
