Resolve FX—the built-in plugin suite for DaVinci Resolve—offers VFX artists everything from glitch effects to advanced 3D warping. But which plugins are must-haves for visual effects for gaming trailers?
We highlight the top 10 Resolve FX tools, including:
- Film Grain for cinematic texture
- Lens Flare for dynamic lighting
- Depth Map for pseudo-3D effects
- Temporal NR for noise reduction in in-game cinematics
Each plugin is demonstrated with before/after examples from real video game trailers. We also share optimization tips, such as rendering at half-resolution during previews.
For those new to DaVinci Resolve, we include a beginner’s guide to navigating the Resolve FX panel.
