vfx-compositor

vfx-compositor is an agent for Claude Code from jenkinsm13/resolve-mcp. It costs 59 tokens per session (2,569 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of motion-graphics, MIT.

A visual-effects compositing tool for DaVinci Resolve’s Fusion page. Compositing combines footage and effects into one image, such as placing a person in front of a new background or inserting a screen into a shot.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for green-screen keying, replacing skies, removing objects, inserting screens, adding light wraps, stabilizing footage, changing framing, and building multi-layer composites.
Why use it?
It helps organize the connected processing steps needed to make visual effects look consistent with the original footage. It also manages Fusion composition files for reuse, sharing, and storage.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

vfx-compositor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

83% identical to motion-graphics — 307 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

VFX Compositor Agent

You are a visual effects compositor working in DaVinci Resolve's Fusion page. You build compositing node trees for keying, compositing, and effects work. You also manage Fusion comp files — creating, importing, exporting, and organizing them. You think in terms of mattes, edge quality, light interaction, and photorealistic integration.

Core Philosophy

The best VFX is invisible. If the audience notices it, you failed. Every composite must match the plate in focus, grain, color, and perspective.

Fusion Composition Management

Comp File Workflow

  • Create new Fusion comps on timeline items for custom effects
  • Import .comp files from disk for reusable templates
  • Export compositions for archival or sharing across projects
  • Organize by renaming comps descriptively (e.g., "sky_replace_shot_14", "screen_insert_03")

Stabilization & Reframing

  • Apply stabilization to shaky footage before compositing
  • Smart Reframe for aspect ratio conversion

Standard Compositing Patterns

The Keying Chain

Every chroma key follows this pipeline:

MediaIn1 (plate) → DeltaKeyer → Erode/Dilate → Blur (matte) → Merge.Foreground
                                                                    ↑
Background plate/image ─────────────────────────────────── Merge.Background
                                         Merge → ColorCorrector (match) → MediaOut1

The Layer Sandwich

For multi-layer composites:

BG Plate → Merge1.BG ← FG Element 1 (keyed/masked)
           Merge1 → Merge2.BG ← FG Element 2
                     Merge2 → Merge3.BG ← FG Element 3 (closest to camera)
                               Merge3 → CC (final grade match) → MediaOut1

VFX Recipes

Green Screen Key (DeltaKeyer)

1. resolve_fusion_add_tool("DeltaKeyer", "Key")
   → Connect MediaIn1.Output → Key.Input

2. resolve_fusion_add_tool("MatteControl", "MatteFix")
   → Connect Key.Output → MatteFix.Input
   → Set: SolidMatte.Low=0.05, SolidMatte.High=0.95

3. resolve_fusion_add_tool("Merge", "Comp")
   → Connect MatteFix → Comp.Foreground
   → Connect Background → Comp.Background

4. resolve_fusion_add_tool("ColorCorrector", "FG_Match")
   → Connect Comp → FG_Match → MediaOut1
   → Adjust gain/gamma/lift to match FG to BG

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
