DaVinci Resolve OFX

Smear the glass.

Optical dirt on CG and plates. Dust, grease, fingerprints, motes.

Night plate with Lens dirt already on: backlight, motes, smear around the subject

Clean glass. Then the muck.

Drag the split. Left is the clean plate. Right is Lens dirt at a selling setting, not a filthy smear across the whole frame.

What sits on the glass.

Four hits. Fingerprint, motes, smear, edge crud. If it does not read at thumbnail size, recapture tighter or hotter against the light.

On the node. After the look.

Drop the OFX on a Color node. Last, or on a parallel so you can mix it. Built for the same jobs we finish, not a stock dust overlay.

Where the dirt earns it.

Three jobs. Three stills. Each one should look like the lens was never cleaned.

CG shot with Lens dirt making the render sit in a real optic

CG that sat in a camera

Clean renders give themselves away. This is the shot that sells the plugin to 3D teams.

Backlit live plate with motes and smear from Lens dirt

Against the light

Dirt is nothing until it hits a highlight. This is the money angle.

Run-and-gun or documentary plate with Lens dirt

Lived-in glass

The optic nobody wiped. Music video, fashion, or a plate that needs age without going tape.
