There's always something to learn, always and it is often so much more than what the video is about. Thanks for sharing and good to see a new video from you.
Great tutorial. That answered a lot of questions I had. Up to now, I’ve been pre-processing all my photos in another program to reduce the size to 4K or 1080P. But this way, I can leverage the high res photos and reduce as needed. I know DR has a hard time processing very high res photos. I’ll try these approaches and see how it goes. Thanks so much.
May I suggest make ONE simple tutorial that explains some or all of these keying and masking tools. I am quite confused as to know why there are so many. Example: Delta keyer … it does blah blah Matter Control … it does blah blah Clean Plate …. etc. Magic Mask … (others) Just a thought. I know there is overlap between many of them but I don’t understand why there are so many. Regards
This is exactly what I was looking for - thank you. On the other hand, have you got a chance to try the Lightdar on the newer iphone? I would like to use the iphone lightdar to scan a 3D object and bring it into Fusion. Probably have to do it in Blender first?
No, sorry, no iPhone here. But yes, creating 3D models is not something you would do in Fusion. In Blender it should be possible. Not sure how you get the lidar data, maybe it's possible to convert it to a z-depth channel for use in Fusion?
For some reason my images are infinite in length on my keyframe editor so I can't trim them. Is there a setting that I can change to fix that? I tried adjusting the global in and out and that didn't work either. If you know the problem that would be great.
Not sure if Resolve can read any of the photography raw formats directly - feel free to give it a try. Resolve can read most of the Video RAW codecs, but maybe not the ones for still photography, so yes you would then need to prerprocess it outside, like with lightroom / camera RAW or other software.
Great video. Question - at chapter "Starting from High Res Image" (at time 3:41 of your tutorial) , you explained how to preserve the original high resolution by going into Fusion on the original image (instead of doing any editing in Edit page first and do a "Create a Fusion Composition" on that image). BUT - what if I want to do some complicated color grading and OFX effects on that photo first (I know I can do color grading and OFX effects in fusion too, but it's just much easier in Edit and Color page) before I use Fusion to apply some motion graphics? I hope my question is clear. THANKS!!
For the contest: no, sorry. Show what you can do with the standard tools of DaVinci Resolve and the assets provided. Audio, you can add if you have the rights - but won't be part of the contest- see description on vfxstudy.com/contest
Great video and tips but above my heads in places. Hope you can help me. I did some video recordings 1080, i also took some photographs on my iPhone, which are very high res. when i go in to davinci and i import the video footage and then the photos all is good. i resize the photos and the after i have rendered the video the photos are massive and have been zoomed in, hope you can help as i have tried loads of thins to sort it it thank you
You mean they look fine in the preview, but appear different in render? Are you sure you are previewing correctly, depending on where you do the transforms. This video is about transforming and adjusting stuff in Fusion, but not sure that's what you are doing...
Hi thank you for the reply. I figured out that if i have my iPhone camera set to the format 4:3, which is the default then the photos are totally out of perspective, if i change the iPhone to take photos in 16.9 then all is good. Just found it odd that the photos are in the viewer look fine just render them out and they seem to render at full scale/format of 4:3 (if this is what its called). What i did was to create a blank file in photoshop of 1920x1080 and drag the 4:3 photo then adjust them in the app before using them in davinci. What i did also work out is you can change the format / ratio of the photo in the phone app itself after taking the photo, really handy. I have now just set the 16:9 format as the default on the iPhone as most photos i take are used in videos as well. Thank you again for the reply, have watched a number of your very helpful videos, all the best steve@@VFXstudy
Davinci Resolve hates me for working on this contest :P I really hope BMD team is paying attention here to improve in the future. I have to render for 15 minutes every time I want to see the pacing of my work.
Well, maybe there are some performance improvements you can do to your setup / composition? From the edit page timeline resolution has the biggest impact - proxy is also possible, in Fusion some of the tips in this tutorial might help 🙂
@@VFXstudy Well, either I win or not, I'll be happy to share notes with you. I'm writing everything I find in a notepad. You said timeline resolution... is there a way to have the viewer in half res but work with the timeline you provided in the archive?
