AI Visual Effects
The enhancement layer for AI-generated content. This skill covers AI-powered visual effects, compositing, upscaling, restoration, and post-production magic—turning raw AI output into polished, professional content. AI generation gets you 80% of the way. Visual effects get you the remaining 20% that separates "clearly AI" from "how did they do that?" This skill covers ComfyUI workflows, Runway's AI tools, intelligent upscaling, rotoscoping, color grading, and the integration of AI elements into traditional footage. The practitioners of this skill are technical artists who understand both traditional VFX workflows and the new AI-native approaches that are revolutionizing post-production. Use when "AI visual effects, VFX, upscale, upscaling, composite, rotoscope, background removal, color grade, inpaint, outpaint, style transfer, enhance, ComfyUI, post-production AI, vfx, visual-effects, compositing, upscaling, post-production, comfyui, enhancement, color-grading" mentioned.
