I don’t want this to come off sounding backhanded but, Mr Alex, you really have come a long way, over the last couple of years. You come across as much more comfortable on screen. Everything, you’ve really upped your game, and it really shows. Thank you for putting so much effort into it, and then giving it to us for free. I appreciate it. Please keep doing what you are doing.
Hiya Jim. Not backhanded at all, I watched some of my older vids recetly and yeaaah, i've come a long way huh! Haha. But thank you, I really appreciate the kind words. I'll keep going as long as you all keep watching :)
man, low key kicking myself with a smile haha First of all these examples made it easy as hell to understand and secondly, the me laughing part, is because it's so easy to make what used to be very complex (for me complex anyways) titling or what have you and now its just here for us. Allows us to be creative and do more. Appreciate this, will like and subscribe to see more!
Its taken me four months to actually get round to installing Resolve 18 and making full use of this Tutorial. You sir, really are the "go-to" channel for me learning how to do the important editing stuff as quickly as possible. Well, you and Darren really 😀
Alex! I don't remember I ever left a comment on UA-cam, but your video was awesome and to the point enough that I couldn't leave without saying thank you!! Thank you so much and keep up the amazing work! 💪💪
I love how you have multiple examples and do it more than once. It really helps when you’re trying to follow along because you don’t have to really pause and rewind a bunch of times. It’s also nice because then if I’m at your same pace I can do it more than once as well and by the time the video’s over I’ve got a pretty solid foundation with this skill. All that to say, great video 😆🤙🏼
Fantastic. The best demo of the Depth Map tool, yet. This new feature could not have come at a better time. I’m working on a short film where I want to add a thick fog to an outdoor environment. This will work perfectly. Thanks a million.
This makes me happy that I finally bought the studio version. Well, TBH I was already happy I upgraded because of getting full use of my 5k 360 footage. Thanks for sharing this amazing upgrade.
Awesome introduction to Depth Map. Thank you very much. I was even more delighted when I discovered my old MSI GS65 laptop with Intel Core i7 8th Gen + 32GB RAM handled Depth Map with the greatest of ease.
Been using the depth map functionality and it totally justifies my upgrade from a Mac Mini M1 to the Max Studio Max. This is just the first glimpse into the power of the new generation of Neural Tools bringing amazing functionality to Resolve 18. It is only going to get better as things get optimized.
I color graded my video (Blue Danube) and wanted to add a lens flare but the dancer's arm moved in front of where I put it. I see that using depth map would be one way to solve this but I chose a faster and easier way. I just scrubbed to just before the arm passes in front of the flare and key framed the size to shrink to nothing until the arm passed it and then key framed it back to original size. worked just fine and took 30 seconds to set up. I love how intuitive this program is. Thanks for the depth map explanation. It looks very useful for selective coloring/effects on a broader level.
I was literally getting ready to start masking something in a bit to blur out the background and this video pops up into my youtube feed. UA-cams getting good.
Wow! Thanks. You walked us through such a super powerful tool, in a fun upbeat way, to boot! Thanks for giving us such a thorough, easy to follow step by step tutorial!
Hello, absolutely love the tutorials, when i connect the blue to the blue the recipient node greys out, and i cant seem to figure out what i am doing wrong
Best case I've seen yet for a reason for me to get the pro version of Resolve. Thank you, Alex, sincerely for all your content! You've become my go-to guru for improving my video editing!! 🙂
Do you have to be so bright and happy? Don't you realise that many of us come to your pages after hours of failure, confusion and frustration. We're grumpy. Then along you come and in a few minutes of bright, happy chat, show us where we've been going wrong. You haven't even the decency of making out that it's complicated. It's all very trying for us idiots. Anyway, thanks for clearing up all the problems I was experiencing in trying to crack depth maps. All the best, and please keep them coming.
Amazing video Alex, my computer is orignally from Scan computers too, i always love there stuff, i was going to get an upgrade at some point too, nice video
I believe that a fancier way of making depth maps would be to differentiate subjects by colorizing their depth so it would offer two ways of separating the subjects from their surrounding. I'm pretty sure that separating subjects with an AI would give better quality height maps in the end of the process.
I own DR Studio - TOTALLY worth the cost. I didn't realize 18 was available yet... is this still in beta? I can't wait to start using these new depth map features! Thanks!
Great information, presented clearly. You have a new subscriber... now I'm going to look at your other videos. If they are all this good, I'll be here a while. 🙂
I watch a lot of da Vinci resolve 18 tutorials. I would love to see tutorials titled "the wonderful and easy things you can do in Da Vinci resolve 18 "without using nodes" " yep, lol, can’t stand nodes (not user friendly, nodes they be!) Still, I find they way you teach, the most understandable on utube.
It could I suppose BUT it would be much slower (it's much more resource heavy) and less accurate. Green Screen is still the 'standard' for a reason really because it's cheap and simple to do :)
It’s ok with certain backgrounds that you shoot in but if there is a lot of light it’s hard to get a subject out of the background without it looking fake or parts of the body missing if that makes since
This was very helpful. I was wanting to add some fake depth of field to some shots in a video I'm currently editing in Davinci Studio 18, but I could think how to, didn't know about the depth node.
I was just looking through the Davinci Resolve 17 manual and saw on page 1396 the Depth Blur node in Fusion. Would it be possible to bring the depth map into the Fusion page and use the Depth blur node to get a more realistic boke effect? I'd try it myself, but I can't download the beta versions as I'm in the middle of a production. Thanks for all the great tutorials, really helping me transition from Premier & After Effects to Davinci.
Is there any way to dynamically change the depth-map options? Such as using "isolation" on an actor who moves towards & away from the camera in the same shot, simulating focus-tracking/pulling?
Thanks for the video. Can you please post an image with characters on it and an alley turned into a depth map and the corresponding rgb image for download so I can see the quality of the effect? Thanks in advance
Question: Can it be keyframed? For instance, can the ladies walk in front of the title and then behind it? That is awesome and might just be worth upgrading.

Thank you so much and keep up the amazing work! 💪💪
💎💎💎💎💎
depth map + layering + tracking = amazing Hollywood title sequences❤️
Yeah I've since tried it with some power windows too and it's working a treat!
WOW!! Game Changing feature! So easy and fast AMAZING n great video showcase

Thx for that great video. Hope you will make also a video for surface tracker, for example with text on a cow "I am living vegan"
Alex as always presented in an easy and straight forward and logical manner. Thanks.
This makes me happy that I finally bought the studio version. Well, TBH I was already happy I upgraded because of getting full use of my 5k 360 footage. Thanks for sharing this amazing upgrade.

I like so much "mosaic blur" that's very funny footage. Congratulations. I'll work it on my personal projects. Keep up the good working ❤️

Totally agree Chris :)
@@MrAlexTech I wonder how the Mac Studio M1/M2 compares with Intel i9-12900K & 3200 Mhz and NVidia 3080.
AMAZING tutorial! One of the most comprehensive tutorials I've seen for anytNice tutorialng. Thanks so much!
I think you just convinced me I need the studio version lol!
What an awesome feature.
I love how I can get excited about new features in a program I bought without having to buy it again… best part of resolve.
OMG ALEX!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! THIS WAS LIKE THE PERFECT VIDEO I NEEDED!!!!!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME
Awsome! Exactly what I was looking for, in detail and without rushing through 🙏
All your tutorials are great, thank you very much for this one too,Karl 👍💪👍👍
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how crazy this technology is?
Wow - the Depth Map is excellent 🤟
Great video - cheers as always Alex 😁
Alex, BM should hire you as a master trainer. Your stuff is much better than the boring training videos they produce. Keep it going.
Davinci Resolve is the best! Thanks for your tutorials and tips.

Heyyy! Thanks JP. I'm trying :)
I was literally getting ready to start masking something in a bit to blur out the background and this video pops up into my youtube feed. UA-cams getting good.
basics it's encouraging to learn a little bit more! Well done!
Thanks. Can you export the depth map to use in another editor?
Yes, I exported the depth map to Premiere Pro
Oh yea, totally awesome. Totally looking forward to the stable 18.
TNice tutorials tutorial was so easy to understand. Thank you so much!
Wow! Thanks. You walked us through such a super powerful tool, in a fun upbeat way, to boot! Thanks for giving us such a thorough, easy to follow step by step tutorial!

Amazing. Always astonished on how good DR is and how much it advances at each version.
Example rich tutorial, and very inspiring. Thank you Mr. Alex! 🤷♀️😉

Very cool vid, Alex. Loving the new approach/style.
Half my rig is Scan. Top firm.
Heyyy thanks Tez! Not too much clickbait?! Ha getting mixed comments so far! Yeah Scan have been great for me too.
@@MrAlexTech Clickbait? Well, would I have just joined a channel if it was even remotely clickbaitish? Hell no!
I'll hang out for a year or a half 😃
Such an amazing new feature and explanation from you 💯😄
Can you do a video on adding external sound effects into daVinci Resolve? Love the channel btw
Great helpful video Alex - thank you once again!
Another really clear and informative video. Thank you.
This is yet another game changer! Thanks for your help.
Another great video, thank you!
Thankx for breaking it down.. great tutorial for beginners
woowwww 4k /60 🤯 i lke this Mr.Alex i like this format ....
Just excelent, thanks for this, no, thanks for all your tutorials. Regards from Costa Rica.
Wow amazing stuff Alex! Please make more videos like this one. Yours are the best! Do you know when the non beta version will be released? Can’t wait!
This video convinced me to test the Beta version. Thank you!
you prefer this over object tracking or masking?
Great training, very clear, good pace...love the examples
Brilliant video mate 👍👍👍👍

Heyy! Yeaaah still in beta. 17 was beta for agessss so it might stay in beta for a while ha.
I’ll stop scratching my head looking for it in the latest (non beta) release then. Doh!
@@MrAlexTech how to get the beta tho?
@@beaugotdrums7821 www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/support/
Scroll down the Latest Downloads list until you see Resolve 18 and download from there.
@@MrAlexTech thanks mate
Awesome teacher 👏
Awh man I can't wait until beta testing is over. Thanks, Alex!
I couldn’t get it to work until I clicked on ‘use OFX Alpha’ option - just in case others are having the same issue!
Bless your soul
Great information, presented clearly. You have a new subscriber... now I'm going to look at your other videos. If they are all this good, I'll be here a while. 🙂
Alex, these little tutorials are very very helpful DR18 is so fun, thank you making these 😎
I am glad i have the studio version.
My new effect to use every time . Great video
Heyyy Jusdrug! MTB dude. I've seen you in MTB vids ha. Thanks man. Glad to hear it.
@@MrAlexTech hey 👋 this replay just made my week . Thank you yet again . Omg can’t believe you have seen my Mtb vids 🤫🙌🥲

Thank you for one more time!
You are one of my favourites. I was wonderung if this feature can be used instead of a green screen though...🤔
It could I suppose BUT it would be much slower (it's much more resource heavy) and less accurate. Green Screen is still the 'standard' for a reason really because it's cheap and simple to do :)
@@MrAlexTech thank you. Keep up with your awesome tutorials!! ♥️
Impressive. Going to need to upgrade my pc.
Thanks for the great summary! I didn't even know there was a new version 18 out! Definitely looking forward to give it a try once it's out of beta. :)
Drag the volu for the setuper track that you're recording into all the way down.
It’s ok with certain backgrounds that you shoot in but if there is a lot of light it’s hard to get a subject out of the background without it looking fake or parts of the body missing if that makes since

Merci beaucoup pour tes explications. Elles sont fluides et très enrichissantes
and my friends are planning to make a ga and i'm making the soft, so tNice tutorials really helped
Great but how do you remove something it should not have included with the subject??
Great! I hope blackmagic sells lots of stuff, making them able to put ven more oof this amazing features into davinci resolve.
"...drag it onto my nodes," HAS to become a T-shirt.
😁
That is MAGIC, you are right ! It was worth to spend $295 :)
