Best Footage for VFX Passes

Good vs. Bad Footage

Even though our AI models generate VFX passes from your footage—like depth, normals, or lighting layers—we don't "invent" details. The quality of the output depends entirely on the input. Make sure your footage contains enough visual detail by following these examples.

✅ Good = Composite-Ready Footage

Footage should be ready for compositing with:

• Includes clear subjects – such as people or objects

• Strong separation between subject and background

• High-quality – sharp focus, high bitrate, and detailed visuals

• Soft, even lighting – avoid harsh shadows or blown highlights

• Correct white balance and proper exposure

❌ Bad Footage

Avoid footage with these problems:

• No visible subject, or subject is too small in frame

• Grayscale footage – color is required

• Non-sRGB/Rec.709 color space – make sure your footage uses standard sRGB or Rec.709.

• Poor quality – low bitrate, blurry, noisy, or out of focus

• Improper exposure – overexposed, underexposed, or extreme contrast

• Too much camera movement – shaky or unstable footage is hard to work with
