Plugin or scripts for making Parallax effect faster

Hi. I need to make a lot of parallax scenes with layers of still images with transparency.

I need functionality in Fusion where these images can be placed in 3D and then parallax movement of them and the camera can be automated, and smoothed like with this plugin for AE:

Does anyone have any tip?

I would probably use the UV Map 3D tool to project onto the flat planes you need. Make sure to either use a second camera or to Lock the UVs on the frame that you need.
It’s not a one click solution but you could probably create a script that does it.

Also, do you need it to be in actual 3D or is optical parallax good enough?

This is a video I did - almost - completely inside of Fusion.

I did this with actual 3D layers and it worked very well.
Just add a couple of cameraprojectors all in the same position and then change the depth of the projector.
Then 'film' this with a final camera and you get very nice parallax movement in your shots.

But this can also be done with a bunch of transforms that are all connected with calculations so they move at different speeds.

For automation of something like that I would try to use "Target" function so that the camera stays on target or the other way around the image plane sticks on camera point of view.

I don't have a video to illustrate the concept in Fusion, but here is more or less the same thing in MohoPro.

Here is another method if you need a different kind of parallax. A tracking shot.

And here are some scripts and stuff, but I'm not sure if they work. Worth a try.

Also I don't know if this script still works for new Fusion versions.

P.S.

Don't rely too much on one click marketed solutions. They never really work to give you anything other than something that looks like.... one click marketed solution.

Just Testing Some 2D image Animations In 3D using Blackmagic Fusion

Few images put on image planes,. Camera rotation 360 around the scene, while some images are following the camera, always facing it, others are rotating, and all are moving back and fort. Spot light stays in place and is used to add 2D lens flare effect, while point light is there to light the images at the end. I used locator 3D to attach 2D lens flare effect to 3D light and I used object ID to extract masks of 3D elements to block the effect of light when its behind objects. Image of stars in put on a giant sphere to cover the scene and motion blur of the camera moving around the scene can be rendered. I didn't add other elements like light wrap etc, but its just a test.

You can get super complex and easy to control movement as long as you follow few rules. Use Target option for Camera and transforms. Connect coordinate elements to each other when needed. Publish in one node. Connect to in another. Use transform 3D for elements along with their own transform elements so you double up the amount to options for animation. And you can get super complex scenes, animated and synchronized pretty simple.

If you are able to pull a depth map of the image (not sure if this is possible of a still), you could use this information to displace the image plane then project the image onto it? Not near my workstation so not sure if this is possible.
