The idea being that although some scenes are real, and some are fake, they all have Anamorphic DoF so have a feeling of continuity. So really, I'm after continuity between the real Anamorphic shots, and the shots that were built in HitFilm, or in other words, I only need HitFilm to be able to render Anamorphic DoF natively on it's own 'scratch-built' scenes using it's own camera. I also intend to build and composite some scenes using HitFilm's 3D camera system. I have some projects in mind that I intend to shoot with a real Anamorphic lens. That would be nice, but that's not really what I meant. To be clear, when I refer to continuity, I'm not actually talking about taking some real Anamorphic footage and trying to match the lens geometry in HitFilm. Like Lens Blur it needs depth maps that you're going to have to create but it has extremely fine and advanced controls. You can also switch to 3D layers and adjust the aperture, focal distance and blur of the HitFilm virtual camera.Īlready tried all that stuff, but it's just too much work and not really ideal. The OFX version should work in HitFilm but definitely try before you buy because there's no guarantee on that. If you feel you need more control then take a look at Frischluft Lenscare. Lens Blur works with a source layer to use as a depth map it's just going to take some experimentation on your part to create something that's going match what you need. Use Vignette and/or Vignette exposure to darken the corners or a feathered mask or a matte. Import the scanned image and clip and use Lens Distort or Bezier Warp on the image until until you get the distortion to match the clip. You need to be able to scan it and get a shot of it with the anamorphic lens. Set up a poster board with a series of lines or a grid. Lens Distort with some scaling adjustment or Bezier Warp is the place to start. It usually takes multiple effects, mattes and adjustments to the virtual camera to match a shot and you can do all of that in HitFilm Pleeeeeeeeease add Anamorphic DoF to one of the HitFilm add-on packs!Īnamorphic DoF is going to be very specific to not only the lens but the settings used for filming as well. The program is completely useless to me (and people like me) without this ability, and considering the sophistication already demonstrated in HitFilm, Anamorphic DoF should be a piece of cake anyway! Please, is there any chance you could make this available in one of the add-on packs, a way to do Anamorphic DoF inside HitFilm? But no such luck, it's not even a part of any of the add-on packs you have available! And ever since the HitFilm team started with the add-on system, I though excellent, at last we would see an option for this. I've seen others mention Anamorphic more than a few times now. How are professionals, or even amateurs who work with Anamorphic lenses, supposed to create a feel of continuity when working with footage that was shot Anamorphic, with work produced in HitFilm? I say "otherwise cool", because not having a feature for Anamorphic DoF in a program such as this, is not cool at all. Every so often I come here and search for Anamorphic DoF hoping that it's importance has finally been realised by the otherwise cool HitFilm team.
