Quick answer
The Dream FX Filter adds a controlled, dreamy soft glow to your video footage, specifically targeting highlights to create a cinematic look without washing out the entire image.
Why use a soft glow filter for video?
A soft glow filter like the Dream FX Filter helps you achieve a vintage or ethereal aesthetic in-camera, reducing the need for heavy post-production. It blooms highlights and softens skin tones, which can be flattering for portraits or narrative scenes.
Choosing the right strength
The Dream FX Filter comes in three strengths: 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2. The 1/8 offers a subtle glow, good for maintaining sharpness while adding a slight bloom. The 1/4 is a balanced option for most scenes. The 1/2 creates a strong, dreamy effect, best used sparingly or for specific moods.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Dream FX Filter do to video?
It blooms highlights and softens skin tones, creating a dreamy, cinematic soft glow without making the entire image blurry. Use it for a vintage or ethereal look in-camera.
Which strength should I choose for video?
Start with 1/4 for a balanced effect. Use 1/8 for subtlety and 1/2 for a strong dreamy look. Test each strength with your lighting conditions before committing.
Can I use it with other filters?
Yes, but stacking filters may cause vignetting or flares. Test your setup first. Avoid stacking multiple strong filters to maintain image quality.
Is the Dream FX Filter the same as a soft focus filter?
No. A soft focus filter blurs the entire image. The Dream FX Filter targets highlights only, keeping details sharp. Choose Dream FX for selective glow, not overall blur.
