So it seems to me like the plugins are installed correctly, Resolve is definitely seeing them and it works in the Color mode but just hard crashes in the Fusion Comp which is where I intend to do most of my work.

I have had some crashing trying this too but it's been less consistent and I haven't been able to nail down exactly what might be causing this. Here's where it gets weird to me, if I go to the Color panel and add the FL OoF node I can actually get it to work, it blurs my image just fine. If I try to set up the node network in the Fusion Comp I can connect the Loader image to the FL OoF node but the minute I tweak any of the settings (like the radius) it instantly crashes. In testing the FL DoF/Out of Focus OFX plugins in Resolve 16 Beta I'm getting some odd behavior.
FRISCHLUFT LENSCARE ALTERNATIVES LICENSE
As far as I can tell, I can't test OFX plugins in Fusion at all without purchasing a Fusion Studio license (which I would consider but I'd have to know my plugins work first).

Trouble is I'm not having any luck getting them to work properly. I'd like to use OFX versions of my favorite plugins like Frischluft Lenscare and RSMB in Resolve/Fusion if they're all working correctly. If you don’t have the money for Frischluft, Photoshop’s Lens blur has similar features.Trying to make the jump to Resolve/Fusion from AFX for 3D compositing and I'm running into some roadblocks and was hoping you guys might be able to help me out.įusion seems extremely competent but it seems to me like it's missing some key plugins/effects like a good post depth of field / glow effect etc that I tend to rely on fairly regularly. If you look closely, you can see there are some edge halos that require touch-ups but that was pretty straightforward. Probably easier to see the focus if you look at it animated in Nuke: Our terrible photo, while still no Cartier-Bresson, has graduated to publishable. This served two purposes: you get to decide what the subject matter is by focusing on it and the high-quality bokeh blurring makes the photo sleeker and more film-like. The best (meaning the least terrible) option was one shot that still had big problems: it was an over-compressed JPEG and it wasn’t clear who the subject was, since everything was in focus.Īfter jacking up the saturation to give the photo more life, the solution to the subject and quality problems was to hand-paint a Z-depth pass to simulate the depth add then apply a depth of field blur (I’m using the amazing Frischluft Lenscare). The current magazine contract I’m on has one of these cases there is a story about a man who ran a marathon to raise money for cancer research and all the photos are pretty rough looking and we can’t shoot him because he has unfortunately passed away. When you work on a magazine that does a lot of stories about real people – not celebs who have nice photos – you often have terrible photos that you are forced to deal with.
