Effect choices are neither right or wrong. You can use as many or as few as you think you
need to tell your story. The only potential wrong is the end result. You must always ask
yourself if an effect helps set the right mood or atmosphere for the story. Does it help to
steer audience attention in the right direction? If the answer is yes, then try it. Ultimately,
itis your own aesthetic that will help you decide.
Using third-party effect plug-ins
OpenFX is a cross-platform visual effects plug-in standard used by DaVinci
Resolve and Fusion software as well as other applications. Popular plug-in
packages—such as Boris FX Continuum, Red Giant Universe, and Re:vision Effects’
ReelSmart Motion blur can be added to DaVinci Resolve to perform many stylized
operations that would be otherwise difficult or impossible to perform using only
DaVinci Resolve’s standard tools. These plug-ins can be applied in exactly the
same ways you would apply other items from the Effects Library.
The installation and licensing of plug-ins is managed by each vendor’s installer.
Once installed, OpenFX plug-ins appear in the Effects Library and in the
OpenFXcategory.
