Smoke & dust
Add atmospheric haze and depth to a shot
The thing that separates a flat shot from a filmic one is often just air. vfxmagia layers subtle atmospheric haze into your footage, catching light into soft shafts and adding the depth cue that pushes the background back. It's restrained, cinematic atmosphere rather than full fog or smoke.
Why it works
What you get
- Add subtle haze that lifts a flat shot toward cinematic.
- Catch existing light into soft, believable shafts.
- Push the background back for a real sense of depth.
- Keep it restrained or build it up across renders.
How it works
Three steps
- 01Upload the flat-looking footage in footage mode.
- 02Start from the Fog & atmosphere template and keep the haze light and subtle.
- 03Render, judge the depth and light, then download or refine.
Get started
A prompt to start from
“Add subtle atmospheric haze through the cathedral interior, soft light shafts cutting from the high windows, a gentle sense of depth separating the columns. Restrained, cinematic, filmic.”
FAQ
Questions, answered
- How is haze different from fog?
- Haze is a lighter, subtler version — it adds depth and catches light without the thick, rolling presence of full fog.
- Will it make my shot look more cinematic?
- Subtle atmosphere is a common cinematic cue; it adds depth and lets light read in the air, lifting a flat plate.
- Can I keep it very subtle?
- Yes. Describe a light, restrained haze and tune it down across renders so it never overwhelms the scene.
