You may want to try the BCC Beauty Studio, Pixel Fixer, or Remover on the actor. You may go ahead and produce that segment of the video and then add another fx until you get the result you want.

Are these inside the program? Where can they be found?

They are available for free in the PD17 365 version. Let us know which of the fx you tried already.

I went into FX, then New Blue Video Essentials, then effect, dropped down the menu and used Belmish Be Gone.

I do not see any of those options in the FX section. Perhaps it is a pack that needs to be downloaded? Or else I am completely missing it!

Hi mjablow -

Do you not have the BorisFX in your effects library?

Do you know if I can pay the difference in the upgrade or do I have to pay the fullamont? When I click on the upgrade it seems to go to full amount.

Can these also be found in the content pack essentials and premium upgrades?

There may be summer sales, end of summer sales, etc. You have to state the exact version of PD you have now so users here can better advise. The BCC allows you to zero in on the color of the pimple with two different shades. You may want to try something else available for purchase instead. See this tutorial on a fx available for less than $50: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va8W8uWzfYI . It has one setting that you can use an eyedropper to fix the color of the pimple. It is more accurate than what you already tried.

My aplogies, I thought I had mentioned I am using version 17 - 365. I saw that video but it is version 16 and apprently they either moved or removed features(?)

That particular NB pack in that tutorial is available for purchase by going to the fx room, select a NB pack, click on Download NB effects. I don’t see the trial Anymore on the website but maybe a user here has some insight on this. The effect will have a watermark until paid if a trial is available.

If anyone can help identify the pack I need to purchase that would be great! I tried contacting New Blue yesterday and have yet to hear back.

I don't. Any idea how I can get it?

The FX are automatically installed when you install PD using the Cyberlink App Manager. Can you take a screenshot of the version screen (click on PowerDirector in the upper right corner). It should look like this:



Also, if you go to Window's Apps & features screen (where you would normally uninstall a program), type "cyb" in the search box and you will see all the installed Cyberlink plugins, which should include Boris Continuum:



If you have the subscription version and aren't seeing the Boris (or other FX installed), try uninstalling and then resinstalling PD

Make sure you have the installer that you originally downloaded before uninstalling. If it's been more than a few weeks since you purchased PD, the download links may not be working and you'll need to contact Cyberlink with your purchase details to get a new installer.

I went to their help page and found out. yes I have to contact them again to reload. I will have to call since they DO NOT respond to email inquiries: I made one over a week ago and still nothing. Their customer service really has gone downhill and unfortunately makes me regret my decision to upgrade.

The only email I recived from them was an acknowledgement of my initial concern.. IS the Blue SKy FXpackage only available in the DS suite as well? If I were to go to the DS suite does that mean I have to pay the total amount, would they not consider the difference between the two packages?
