As we all know, filters are an important part of any filmmaker’s toolkit, yet even if you don’t have filters on set—you can still get the benefits of shooting with diffusion filters in post using this new plugin from FilmConvert.
The new Hazy diffusion tool is set to soften the bright areas of your images and will be able to help smooth any uneven skin tones. Overall it should offer some nice bloom effects to any of your strong light sources and will feature a range of filter presets to let editors really finely control what their overall compositions will look like.
Editors will be able to adjust filter style, strength, and spread along with other basic controls like exposure, temperature, and tint to help fit the natural look of your video. You can also use some more advanced Diffusion Map controls to select the areas where you want the diffusion to be more intense.
