App "a" is a helper or updater component bundled with Boris FX software products (as indicated by its bundle ID com.borisfx.VersionUpdate). It runs in the background to check for and manage software updates for Boris FX applications, which are professional visual effects, color grading, and compositing tools used in film, television, and post-production workflows. While this component is not used directly by end users, it is essential for keeping Boris FX applications current with bug fixes, new features, and performance improvements. Users typically interact with it passively through the parent application's update mechanism.

1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of this app has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. If your copy is still running under Rosetta, update to the latest version to get the native build. Since this is an updater component bundled with Boris FX applications, the simplest way to update is to launch your main Boris FX application and check for updates through its built-in updater (typically found in the Help or application menu), or visit the Boris FX download page and reinstall the latest version of your specific product. The native build will use less CPU and battery during background update checks.
