A plug-in for DaVinci Resolve, Baselight, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and Nuke. [Video: Mirage animation preview](https://videovillage.com/images/mirage/scrubbers/animation/video.mp4) ### Animation Bring authentic physical motion to the effect with animation controls. Animate manually, choose an included recording, or create your own with your phone and import it. ![Mirage on-screen overlay controls for positioning and rotating the glass](https://videovillage.com/images/mirage/features/intuitive-controls-8d70c655.jpg) ### Intuitive Controls On-screen controls let you grab the object and move it easily in the viewer. You can drag, tilt, and reposition it in real time, so it feels just like moving a physical diopter around in front of the lens. ![Mirage glass refracting a figure in an armchair above a wall of speakers](https://videovillage.com/images/mirage/features/beyond-the-frame-da29618c.jpg) ### Beyond the Frame Choose what the glass refracts and reflects from outside the frame. Repeat or mirror the source, blur it into something abstract, wire in a different clip, or import your own HDRI. ![Mirage Presets & Defaults panel with Default CST, Set Preset as Default, and preset creation controls](https://videovillage.com/images/mirage/features/presets-and-defaults-d2302c9a.png) ### Presets and Defaults Save favorite looks as presets and set your own global defaults. ## Works like the real thing ## Mirage raytraces virtual optics, and includes animations from the real world. ## Shape the effect by changing refraction strength, 3D position, virtual aperture, and focus. ## Bend, warp and refine your look with deep customization. [Video: Refraction preview](https://videovillage.com/images/mirage/scrubbers/ior/video.mp4) **Refraction** Position the glass in 3D space to change the angle of refraction. Strength (IOR) sets how much the glass bends the image behind it. [Video: Aperture preview](https://videovillage.com/images/mirage/scrubbers/fstop/video.mp4) **Aperture** F-Stop opens and closes the virtual aperture. Stopping down to makes the effect sharp and defined, or when open it blurs into something abstract and ethereal. [Video: Aberration preview](https://videovillage.com/images/mirage/scrubbers/aberration/video.mp4) **Aberration** Chromatic Aberration that behaves like real glass. It shows where the glass bends light most, so the final result is realistic. [Video: Highlight Boost preview](https://videovillage.com/images/mirage/scrubbers/highlights/video.mp4) **Highlight Boost** Lifts the brightest parts of the refracted image so specular highlights and light sources read with more definition. [Video: Focus preview](https://videovillage.com/images/mirage/scrubbers/focus/video.mp4) **Focus** Focus Shift can move the plane of focus up to the glass. Just like racking focus through a real filter, you can pick what's in focus and what falls off into blur. [Video: Reflections preview](https://videovillage.com/images/mirage/scrubbers/reflections/video.mp4) **Reflections** Reflect a custom imported image, add virtual area lights in 3D space, or combine both. Get realistic results by tweaking brightness, changing roughness, and adding bevels. [Video: Quality Modes preview](https://videovillage.com/images/mirage/scrubbers/quality/video.mp4) **Quality Modes** Different quality modes mean you can work fast, then render clean on final output. A Final Quality toggle switches all nodes at once so you can easily change over when rendering. ## Filters of all shapes and sizes ## Ghosting filters, diopters, prisms and more. ## Choose a built-in preset, experiment with built in shapes, or get creative and import your own geometry. ![Circular Cone](https://videovillage.com/images/mirage/shape-carousel/circular-cone-1c3af28a.jpg) ## Designed for professionals ## Linear internal processing with ACES, pro color management, and native raytracing on GPU. **ACES** Linear internal processing with ACES makes it easy to include Mirage in existing grading and VFX pipelines. **HDR** Works with SDR and HDR; preserves color space and out of range values for high bit depth renders or camera-log inputs. **User Defaults** Users can set their own defaults for every parameter, so every time a new node is created, custom defaults will be loaded. **GPU powered** With full GPU support, it's blazing fast out of the box, with quick optimization settings for faster playback on high res footage. **Live on-set preview** Supports Resolve Live to process log camera feeds for realtime on-set preview. **Input spaces** Supports every major camera and intermediate space; accepts generic Rec.709 for approximate emulation. **Mirage** is made by[![Node Mill](https://videovillage.com/images/lensnode/nodemill-wordmark-f0582fc0.png)](https://www.nodemill.co/) A small Australian software studio founded by cinematographer [Elliott Nieves](https://elliottnieves.com/) and VFX artist Jarrad Russell. ## Learn Mirage Our step-by-step guides will get you started quickly and help you dive deep into everything Mirage can do.
