I have various effects like film grain, blur and lens distortion in my compositor. But if I do quick 50% scale renders, the effects become too 'large'. So the blur is too blurry, for example. So what I need is for those effects to be relative to render resolution size. Is this possible?

Right click over the render resolution % (or whatever value you need), right click, copy as new driver

enter image description here

in compositor, add a value node, right click -> paste as new driver

enter image description here

Now you can do whatever you want with that value and calculate with it as you need it.

e.g.

This is just an example -> it makes no sense but this is how you do it.

Note: for blur i think you can just check "relative" to get what you want.

    $\begingroup$ nice and simple :). didn't realize the resolution field can be used as a driver :)) $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 14, 2022 at 11:32
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks! This has opened up many possibilities. I've added inverse math to alter lens distortion based on a focal length driver value. Wide lens = more distortion. Long lens = low distortion. This saves me manually fiddling in the compositor when switching or tweaking cameras. $\endgroup$ Commented Mar 15, 2022 at 18:09
