Super helpful especially right now... I premiere that much but being able to just draw masks easily is something I miss. Wish this could be done on the edit page of Dacvinci somehow...
I know the pen tool for Illustrator. When masking in Resolve I try and do the same functions and shortcuts to adjust curves but the buttons are different so this was helpful.
Brilliant video. I had no idea the bezier curves would connect automatically like that, nor you could still click points without the mask being turned on. More stuff like this please.
Great! How about a moving mask using a tracker? Can you use a tracker to track an object and then use a mask as the input to produce tracked mask for a moving object/person?
I have been brute forcing it lol😅😢. How about masking and tracking a camera panning across something very large that has lots of new angels coming on the screen as you go through the timeline. Example panning across a space station and wanting to apply mask to that.
Would love to see more on animating masks. I have issues between large frame jumps and the mask moving slowly from one point to another instead of directly to.
Thanks for your vide, Casey. I have a question. I'd like to know how to make scrolling effect of a phone screen, or of a website showcase, or even scrolling down a document file, let's say it's a PDF file and you want scroll down through the pages. It'd appreciated if you could give me link for such tutorial, or maybe make one yourself.(I tried to find but I couldn't find this one among your videos) with regards. 🙏
So dumb question… After your done with the “game boy” fusion clip, do you just go back into your video per say and insert it where you need it? Hope that makes sense.
You are so good at teaching, and you make learning from you so fun. You are so crazy in a cool way. 😂 I got to come up with some money to buy your fusion course, that is, if you make your paid courses fun, too. Well, do you make learning fun in your paid courses, too😂
From about 1:20 I can not add points. The cursior make yellow lines in stead. And I have followed the steps word by word. Is this due to my version is Studio? In Studio I just make blue line(s) within what I want to mask out, very easy, so what is going on here?
I don't care how many of these I watch - it's never enough. You are brilliant at style and messaging. I went through the Fusion Survival Guide - IT IS GREAT. Highly recommend it to anyone getting going in Fusion.
Finally a good tutorial on how to mask in DaVinci Resolve for free! Easy to understand and simple to do! I even figured out how to animate my mask by myself! This will be perfect for memes and RU-vid Poops! Thanks for the tutorial!😃👍
Same thing with the pen tool in Photoshop & Illustrator. So glad you covered this. Once I "mastered" the pen tool my life changed to be exponentially better 😅. Thanks for another awesome vid!
Casey, I absolutely love the way you teach. The way you teach, makes things just click in my head. You explain everything in a way that makes sense to beginners or less experienced with Fusion and easily digestible. I subscribed after watching just a couple videos. Keep up the awesome work.
This was good to explain masks and how to use them. But, do this in an image editing program and save it off with an alpha channel if it's just a still image. PNG probably. You can still add another mask later if you wanted to put something on the screen for instance. And Bezier curves. You will fuck up a lot at first. Try not to get frustrated. You WILL get a handle on it eventually. (Pun intended.) [Video editing enthusiast and semi-pro. Image editing professional.] Keep up the great work!
Yes, this is a good video! So in over photo editing software you can do a colour select, adjust the threshold of the targeted colour etc. Can this be done in resolve?
When drawing bezier curves to trace an object, it can be beneficial to adjust the transparency of the layer you are tracing. It really helps you to see the curves in areas of shadow and for matching outlines
Great tutorial. Just got Davinci for iPad. Used to use FCP on my MAC but now just sticking with iPad. Steep learning curve and your vids are really helping, especially as Davinci is now stable. I’m finding your tutorials the clearest and wittiest so thank you.
id be curious if/how using the technique changes when dealing with more complex shapes. ive been playing around with rotoing recently and ngl i dont see opportunities to simplify the mask with a few curves
It all depends on the level of accuracy you seek. Bezier curves (click and drag) make smoother more accurate curves, and they are more easily adjustable than multiple points. Zooming in for small curved areas makes it easier. TIP: When adjusting a point, holding the shift key will confine the movement either vertically or horizontally.
Hi Casey, i've been freaking on all of your tutorials this week. Probably studied like 12 hours a day. i've learned so much in this short period of time. I already mastered the color page in the last year. But now knowing fusion is just so nice. I just want to thank you for all of your content, I think I speak for a lot of people. Thanks man!
