Export a project > Integration with other applications

Projects that you can implement in AquaSoft Vision and Stages can be easily integrated into third-party video applications. Via direct import or OpenFX plug-in, you can integrate intros, animations or special effects created with AquaSoft into external projects without prior rendering, with transparencies, motion blur and in best quality. In addition, you can use this method to import the effects from AquaSoft Vision and Stages to objects in third-party programs. Supported programs include Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Vegas and Natron.

1 Use OpenFX plug-in

In OpenFX-based programs you will find two AquaSoft plug-ins - a Filter and a Generator. Both of them can use as setting the filename of a AquaSoft Vision/Stages project as a setting.

The Filter variant can be used to modify data in the third-party program. For this purpose, the Toolbox standard object "External content" is used as a starting point, to which the various effects are applied.

Per Generator projects can be selected from AquaSoft Vision/Stages can be transferred to the third-party program.

Example: Using filters in DaVinci Resolve

Create in AquaSoft Vision or Stages a project in which the External content object receives the effects you want to use in DaVinci. You can find the External content object in the Toolbox in the Standard objects. This project serves as a filter.

Then open an empty or started project in DaVinci and insert the content there that should receive the filter.

To do this, go to the Effects tab in DaVinci and to Video. In the Toolbox, scroll down to the AquaSoft section. Drag the Program object onto the video or image footage in your DaVinci Timeline.
