Install the ASI, ReShade, connector and folders, then complete a short proof render.

Choose FPS, shutter, samples, capture mode and output settings with a reason behind each choice.

Use the new physical aperture export mode with deliberate focus, bokeh quality and realistic expectations.

Build deliberate paths using smooth markers, pacing profiles, field of view and attached shots.

Create believable operator movement without turning every shot into constant wobble.

Relight a recorded clip with time, weather and wetness while protecting the grade.

Move from a visible symptom to the setting, file or requirement most likely responsible.

Technical facts are checked.

Setting behaviour and dependencies are verified against the RE+ project and source material.

Creative advice is labelled.
