Sensor
Machine-vision looks on moving footage, for the whole clip.
Sensor restyles the video under an adjustment clip frame by frame: LiDAR, X-Ray, thermal, receipt print. The subject matte is found on every frame and cached, so each frame is analysed once. This player runs the plugin's look code in your browser.
Seven looks. Any subject.
Each look finds the person or object in the image and treats subject and background differently, so the person still reads in a two-frame flash.












Point cloud of the subject, debris and streaks around it.
Thermal looks have Hot Only: the cold background drops out and only the subject stays.

Questions
Where do STAGO plugins show up in Resolve?
Every STAGO plugin installs into one group: Effects → Fusion Effects → STAGO on the Edit page. New plugins join the same group, and each one has its own installer and uninstaller.
How do I install it?
Unzip the download and run the installer: install.command on Mac, install.bat on Windows. Restart Resolve and the effect appears under Effects → Fusion Effects → STAGO on the Edit page. An uninstaller sits next to it. Upgrading from an earlier FirstCut build? The installer moves it into the STAGO group for you.
Which Resolve version do I need?
Afterimage is built and tested on DaVinci Resolve Studio 21. It runs as a Fusion effect on the Edit page, so you never have to open the Fusion page.
Does it work on Windows?
Yes. On a Mac the subject is cut out with Apple Vision; on Windows the effect uses Resolve's own Depth Map to separate the subject, with Range and Softness controls to tune it. The Windows build is new and still being tested, so tell us if anything looks off.
Do I need to mask the subject myself?
No. The subject is found automatically on every image or frame. Sensor lets you choose People or Any Object, and its effect can run inside the mask, outside it, or on the whole frame.
How do updates work?
Installed plugins can check this site for a newer version, and every release is listed in the changelog below. Update terms for paid upgrades are announced with each major version.
How do I get help?
Write to plugins@stago.io with your order email and your Resolve version. Installation, licensing and refund questions all go there.
