In this video we take another look at doing Green Screen work in Davinci Resolve Fusion with the Deltakeyer and Cleanplate tools. Join us at / filmmakercentral
This is the EXACT tutorial I was looking for! LIKED and SUBSCRIBED! One question, instead of adjusting the Matte Threshold to eliminate the background bleed over, could you instead draw a Matte over the monitors to accomplish that? Would a Matte (or even a Mask) be a better option for stationary objects? Thank you!
I have been fighting for hours with the Delta on some footage I shot, and just came across this video. I can't believe how much better it looks with this method and how much easier this is! My mind is blown. Thank you so much!
There’s a lot of DaVinci clean plate tutorials on RU-vid. And they are pretty good. However I keep returning to your Clean Plate video to get the basics of clean plate and how to QUICKLY set it up - and not get overwhelmed. Yes there are some important fine tuning that the other videos go over, but by starting with your method I can go in and perhaps add those other “fancy” tweaks later, if needed. So thanks again.

Great tutorial, going to screenshot that node diagram and use it. Questions ... would you "de-noise" in Fusion or Color Page? And I do like the Color Page's scopes. Should I forego Color Page entirely or use it with Fusion?
I realize that this is now an old video and you may not wish to respond. I appreciate the information you gave and wonder if I may ask for some assistance as I just started working with Davinci Resolve a week ago. I used the information you gave in this video but found that I have a problem. I am learning DR after years of working with Adobe Premiere Pro and am unable to figure out how to set the transparency when keying out a green screen. The green screen is behind a white table and I want to key out the green screen but leave the white table opaque. I can get the green screen keyed out using the Delta Keyer and CleanPlate as you demonstrated but that leaves the white table slightly transparent. In PPRO there is a transparency adjustment that takes care of this. Is this in DR and I just can't find it or is there another way to do it? I have tried using the Chroma Keyer but there are many shades of green and it will take too long to key them all out. Any guidance will be appreciated very much!! Thank you for taking the time to read this! .....Gord
Thank you for this tutorial! You just saved me hours in fighting with green spills that I would do with a 3D keyer. Now I have a habit. Before filming myself, I now film 10 seconds of the clean green screen without me in, and this way I have a perfect cleanplate to feed. Works like a breeze. Thanks again!
Wish I could find a tutorial on green screening while leaving shadows intact under a character. Ultimatte used to be able to do it, but the newer keyers seem to leave very noisy shadows. Would love some advice.
Very interesting. I didn't understand what exactly the Fill and Blur steps for the clean plane accomplish though. Does it make it easier to fine tune the threshold somehow? A trade-off to add a little bit of background to the whole desk on the left in exchange for the green reflections? Using a maximum blur to get a cleaner overall result feels a bit strange to a rookie like me.
Dude! Bro! Amigo! Neither your title or description mention what you are actually doing. I have been searching for hours to find this exact tutorial. Please consider updating the title, description or keywords to include "garbage matte" "bad green screen footage" "green screen problem solving" "fixing green screen problems" something like that. This was SO VERY HELPFUL. Maybe I can crazy glue some of the hair back on that I pulled out trying to learn this. Thanks for the great tutorial!
@@FilmmakerCentral better...I would have found it three days ago! Honestly, "Master" doesn't seem all that appropriate for a 12 min presentation. I'd go with "Davinci Resolve Green Screen- DeltaKeyer, Garbage Matte, shiny surface de-spill" and add more detail in the description of what you're doing..."get rid of this box, deal with the hallway, clean up spill on the shiny surfaces". Have you heard of Derral Eves' book The RU-vid Formula? Tremendous insight into how the YT ranking and search recommendations work. One thing it does is correlate the audio and video content with the title and description...the better the match, the higher the ranking. Eves strongly emphasizes the importance of thumbnails in getting the click...you have a great shot with you sitting in the chair, but it doesn't tell the story of start vs finish...if I may...what if you split the image diagonally, with the finished version on the upper, and the messy starting image with the obvious challenges on the lower...just an idea. Thanks again for solving my problem! I'd be interested in a comparison between the Fusion keyers- 3DKeyer in the Edit page, Delta vs Ultra vs Luma vs Difference vs using the tools in the Color page, which is what I was most familiar with (although your argument that Fusion tools are more efficient and effective is compelling).
Very good and concise tutorial , I'm just a bit confused about what the clean plate does as you did not really explain it's function other than to say you want to tell Fusion what to key out. Otherwise very informative and good results.
It provides detail to the DeltaKeyer. While you can just use the DeltaKeyer by itself, you will generally get better results faster with a clean plate. Ideally, you can take a shot of the green screen by itself and use that, but this method shows how to generate one that will work.
@@FilmmakerCentral so... hopefully I get this right? Without a clean plate you can only get a color or a (limited) range. The clean plate provides more shades of the color you are going to key out. Is that right in some way?
@@zorrothebug It feeds the DeltaKeyer the background, making it more efficient. I find that I can get to the same results without the clean plate, but it takes a lot more work to get there.
So what I do is I start out recording each of my videos with a few seconds of no one in the shot. Then I walk into the shot. During editing I use the portion of the video with no one in the shot and use that to create my clean plate.
Thank you for this tutorial, with a non perfect but real green screen panel and consequential issues. I've seen other tutorials where the footage had a fake "green" background and ready-made objects in the foreground
This is great, thanks. I have some footage I shot with a Green Screen that is pretty messed up because of bad lighting and a few wrinkles in the screen fabric. I have been doing the best I can being new to Resolve 17. Granted with each video I am getting better at it but my technique blows. This will definitely help me a lot.
This video contains so much useful information for dealing with real-world situations. Fantastic. I’ve watched it several times and picked up some other details I missed each time. Thank you very much.
After using the eye dropper tool to manually select the color ( 4:01 ) the effect isn't applied. My Cleanplate is set to viewer 1 and MediaOut to viewer 2, but no keying changes.
Thank you for this video. When I add the blur-effect, it doesn't do anything. I did add it using the shortkey and with the clean plate selected. There's a yellow line going from the clean plate right box, to the yellow arrow left of the blur. But the effect doesn't blur the mosaic unfortunately. What am I doing wrong here?
Drag the highlighted 'blur' box onto the left hand video screen. The screen name will change from 'clean slate' to 'blur' and you'll see the blurring effect. (Replying to an eight month old comment, but others, like me, might be reading this and wondering how it's done.)
