RE:Flex by RE:Vision Effects is a professional, industry-standard video plugin designed for high-quality visual morphing and warping. When used as a Fusion plugin (either in Blackmagic Design’s standalone Fusion Studio or within the Fusion page of DaVinci Resolve), it seamlessly integrates with the host’s native workflow to create transitions, shape distortions, and character face-morphs. Key Features of RE:Flex in Fusion
No Complex Meshes: Traditional morphing tools rely on rigid, complicated mesh grids. RE:Flex discards this entirely, allowing you to draw control lines directly onto the prominent features of your image.
Native Spline Integration: The plugin uses Fusion’s own roto and masking tools (polylines and splines). You do not have to learn a separate, clunky interface. You draw right inside your standard workflow.
Automatic Image Registration: RE:Flex is uniquely built to combine manual feature-matching (your drawn lines) with automatic tracking. It leverages the advanced tracking technology found in RE:Vision’s Twixtor plugin to automatically line up the unmarked, background parts of your image, drastically reducing manual rotoscaping work.
Interactive Previews: You can view the warping frame-by-frame in real-time as you drag and adjust your control shapes.
Open & Closed Shapes: Control lines do not have to be complete loops. You can use open shapes (like a single line tracking an eyebrow or a jawline) to direct the distortion. Component Tools inside the Plugin
