Are you trying out Masking Transitions? Also check out the Davinci Keyboard Covers and keyboards here: www.editorskeys.com/collections/davinci-resolve-keyboards
Nice, clear presentation. Thanks! One tip that I've discovered in other editors (still learning DaVinci) is if you do the first keyframe and then the last frame before doing the rest you sometimes need fewer keyframes. 😃
Resolve still overall better than Premiere and way more reliable, but I hate that Resolve overcomplicates things like this that Premiere can do in two clicks. (Opacity>Mask in Effect Controls) Also.... Can't apply softness to all keyframes? WHoops lol. Just wasted a bunch of time setting 50 keyframes and now have to go back and copy softness settings. WHY
I was in agony when I couldn't do such a simple masking effect in Resolve. Previous tuts were not helpful, I Even considered going back to Premiere but thanks to this I'm not going anywhere. Thanks Editor Keys.
*one thing I don't understand is why davinci makes you do the mask transition in the color tab What happens when it's time for grading and color correction;; how does the node tree get built after mask transition*
I'm still getting my head around this whole node thing in Davinci since switching from PP. Sometimes this node thing makes this Non Linear Editor feel not so Non Linear
I am transitioning from premiere pro to davinci resolve, and this helps me a lot, although there's a lot of habit to be stop coming from Premiere pro, I am sucking it out.
Don't wait till the very end to add the softness like he explained. "go back and add softness to each keyframe.." I had like 30 keyframes and had to restart from the beginning. Add the softness in the beginning, and check how it looks before continuing to the next keyframe. Also I'm not sure if cutting a clip in half, and setting the second half 2x as fast as the first half is considered a "speed ramp." A speed ramp is a dynamic increase in speed. To do this you would have to right click and use the "retime curve" feature.
2:19 he is talking about the power windows tab. Any of the tools in this tab can be used to mask objects. He chooses the pen tool which is normally best for intricate masks that will involve more complex shapes. The icon to the right that he clicks inverts the mask. If he did not click that the clip underneath would show up everywhere the mask wasn’t. This way the clip underneath shows up only where he applied the mask.
hey! i saw a few other videos and realized you can also mask in the "fusion" section. I tried both and they work. What is the difference and which should i use?
One little note from an old editor, always track or modify your mask in reverse. Scale your mask at the end of your transition and then put your keyframes going back to the start so you don't have to guess where to put your first mask keyframes.
this is a nice tutorial but it is actually recommending to it the effect way harder than it should be. you don't have to add softness to every keyframe if you just do it to the whole clip, that's how I do it and it works the same way.
Let’s say I’m trying to do this with a png and not two separate videos, so that something appears behind a moving object on a video clip so the mask only applies to the ping. How would I do that?
keyframes just dont work everytime I go to change the mask it deselects the keyframe and changes the mask, its like the mask isn't connected to the keyframe
idk where does that square come from just before you tell us to click on the corrector keyframe, i set the mask an the video from the bottom doesn't show
I have an important question. when I'm masking: HOW CAN I ZOOM IN TO MAKE THE MASK MORE ACCURATE? I'm on a MacBook and I don't even know if its possible at all, but it would be so strange if it isn't. so to clarify what I want. I want to zoom in into the clip to make the mask more accurate with small details. would be great if someone can help me. Thanks a Lot, much love from Germany
@@jtchalatsis yes that will work fine. you can have various elements of the grading process of multiple nodes. Id say it's probably better to grade last.
It's weird how davinci has these obscure workflows for simple things. Makes me want to switch back to premiere. Overlays, matte painting, Ease in and out, transform and text are absolute awful with Davinci.
Hey can someone cover how to cover an object that a person passes by a few times? The person always goes under the cover up instead of over. I will never buy this junk!!!!!
