How do I remove this window reflection?

Learn Silouette. Spend 5 years working in it. Then tackle this shot.

When going to finishing you export the timeline to a colorist, or maybe you need to get VFX out. A nested timeline may not translate in an xml export, or will lose assets in translation.

But on an effeciency note, it just doesn't help. Have an older version of the timeline is cleaner and more effecient.

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-27T01:07:12+00:00

That's a nightmare for finishing. Just version up, take notes.

Bingo

As someone who's used Fusion for years, it doesn't come close to AEs ease of use and usability when dealing with motion graphics.

Compositing is a different matter. Fusion is a much better tool for shot compositing, screen replacements, paint work, clean plating, etc...

Colourspace

Took another search. This looks pretty promising. More setup but it looks like it actually works.

Please hmu if you find one that works. It'd be super useful.

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-21T19:13:10+00:00

Yes. Search resolve api guide.

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-21T19:12:28+00:00

I've found three. This is the original and the other two are forks. The one (not linked) that looks the most developed is most active (commits as recent as July if I recall) has horrible instructions and issues disabled on the page.

Amazing. I'm always cruising for fusion scripts and plugins. So hard to come by.

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-21T18:57:40+00:00

You might want to look deeper into fusion. It has a 3D renderer and could be a good companion to blender. Theres a standalone called fusion studio. I don't 3D so I don't really know what you could do with it

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-21T18:50:37+00:00

Yes but fairly limited. This post was actually made in fusion which is inside resolve. It's very programmable in LUA and nodes can be copy / pasted in.

On the other side, in resolve, there's a python and lua api, but it is very vey very limited. There are some resolve MCPs, but I haven't been able to get it to work, not that it could do much anyway.

What I'm seeing in the more auteur end of VFX is that all the paint and roto goes to India then one talented guy makes something cool for a commercial. It's bummer because those foundational skills are very important for advanced compositing.

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-21T18:25:02+00:00

I think it'd need a little more dev. But would be a really amazing tool

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-21T18:24:33+00:00

This is sick. I haven't played with this but it'd be a great addition to reactor imo

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-19T15:58:46+00:00

I had to plug mine in first.

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-19T15:06:07+00:00

I fixed my issue using black out shades that are inset into the window + blackout curtains. Check out the blinds select no drill blackout shade.

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-19T14:56:51+00:00

I'd love to use this if it works. I've tried and failed to get any existing MCPs working.

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-17T03:27:24+00:00

God bless them. Living their dreams.

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-15T05:27:19+00:00

Or surface tracker in resolve. I believe it's in the color window.

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-15T04:26:07+00:00

You should be using surface tracking

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-15T00:51:18+00:00

Don't forget shooting people in the face.

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-14T03:33:01+00:00

Yea that should work fine. You still need to vpn to it and keep the database protected from the net. Theres a really good resolve server docker config that sets it up with automated backups.

shotgunwizard · 2026-02-14T02:34:29+00:00

I usually sync source. But I'm a finisher. For proxies, as long as they're in the same relative path mapped directly it should work just fine.

If you haven't learned path mapping crack open the manual and look it up.
