Out of the hundreds of Resolve tutorials I have watched, this might be the most important one I have watched. I had no idea how to solve this... until now.
I did all the transparent background stuff to get the correct aspect size and transparent background, but for some reason when i switch back to the Edit page, the background is just solid black.. Anyone know the fix for this?
I'm trying to take an image I've cut out to have a transparent background and add effects from fusion to make it light up and give it a breathing pulse effect but everytime it adds a black background. Also the image has black in it for borders and using the black background and reducing the alpha removes the borders of the image. Could use a little help.
Hey bro, today I watched two of your videos and learnt a ton of things. I followed along with Davinci Resolve and now have created my intro with a sub button that I'm definitely going to be using in my future videos. Thank you so much! Keep up the work! The way you explain really helps someone that hasn't done it before to learn! God bless you.
If I put a fusion composition clip in the timeline above a video clip, is there a way I can select the fusion composition clip -> switch to the fusion tab and have the video clip from the timeline running, so I can adjust my graphics to that video? In other words: how can I get my timeline (or a specific video clip on that timeline) as a input in a fusion composition clip?
Thank you so much - have been playing around with fusion and realise now why the sizing has been driving me nuts and how things interact and mess up the size the image when viewed in the edit page. That makes perfect sense that the background size sets the sizing. Now I can think about fusion like one of my photo editors - where the thing you bring first sets the size for the composition. Thank you - it’s making much more sense now.
Thanks for ALL these videos!! Which DaVinci resolve should I download? It's gives me two options... I would be using it for video game editing and home videos
I've got this problem for a 506x822 picture and a 1920*1080 greenscreen video. If I use alpha output for the green screen it always crops it to the video. What do I have to do?
Hey Casey thanks for this. I've used this technique to make myself a logo but how do I save it to use in other projects? I tried putting the composition clip into master but it only shows up in the project I'm working on, and if I try to render it out to save as an asset when I import into a new project the logo is no longer on a transparent background (its black) and therefore no good to me. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers mate.
I wanted to apply a video collage effect to Titles. But it wouldn't let me since its not a video clip. So I made transparent backgrounds and compounded them with the title. Which worked beautifully. But once I apply the video collage background becomes orange almost likes a rendering error
Casey, Using resolve 16, What is your suggestion for PC specs for new user on a budget ? render lag and crashing is is such a bummer when trying to be creative.
Hey Casey First of ! Love your channel, learning ..... Here is what i am trying to do, i want title fusion (with animations) and only the title, i want to export my Title intro that i did, so i can use that in my live streams. I would love to see a video of that, and if that is not possible to do, then thank you for this video.
GREAT video! As always Can i create the graphic to use it in the alpha channel of the BMD Hyperdeck?! Thanks in advance and sorry for my English i'm still learning Have a Productive and Healthy day!
Thank you so much! I didn't understand why reducing the blend didn't reduce the opacity of the images in the merge node. But when I added the transparent background, it works now. Thank you!
can you make a 3d text/object on transparent BG? i have a PNG with transp bg, made it 3d [duplicate 3d] but when I want to render and export it is on black bg
There seems to be a fundmental problem that I can't get my head around, if there's a transparent effect on the text then it blends into the transparent background. For instance adding glow to the text makes the text transparent over hte video so it looks like some funky blend mode. I assume I'm missing something obvious, but none of the videos online seem to address it.
Hi Casey, Thank you for your tutorial, I have a question which is how to change a vertical transparency background to match with horizontal background. The thing is that i took a video with my subject using Note 5 vertically with green screen and i try to embed in editing but it just unable to show the background. if you can make a video on how to do that. Would be much help for me. Looking forward.
how the heck did you drag down text and then get a media in node? i'm trying to edit for a yt short and need to make an icon have a transparent background but I have no media in node from following your instructions.
Great video, I never could understand why things got resized before, now I do. Just one question, at 2:56 in the video you dragged a Text node onto the editor and it showed an icon in the viewer. How did that happen?
if you export the video with a transparent background, will it still be transparent if you put the video in another project? do you have to export it in a certain format?
My whole project is done, but the only thing in the fusion tab is a "template" node & "media out" node. I'm not sure what to do here. I tried dropping a background node in, making it transparent, & connecting it to the template node, but it just makes everything in *the template node invisible (I have text in the template node).
Hi Casey, I am making the transition from the Adobe Suite to Resolve Studio. I really have learned a lot from you, thanks! I was trying this method of making the background transparent, found your video and you do the same thing. My issue is that it isn't completely transparent. Color #000000, alpha 0. Thanks in advance.
Hey Casey, I'm trying to make a 3d hat (cappy from mario) but really struggling with how to mask areas to get a shape I want. Any chance of a video on masking in 3d please?
I like your voice , your videos and It's been a week now , I have switched to Davinci resolve 16 and animating titles, I already know these things so please can I get to see other things about fusion, I wanted to see HOW TO CREATE 3D LOGO ANIMATION IN FUSION PAGE without using other apps like ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR , can you please make a video on that?, 🙏🙏🙏
Hi, is there a way to render multiple clips from one big project individually? Currently I'm rendering them one by one with the help of markers and cuts but if I put multiple clips into the queue and start rendering than I get 1 big video at the end. Probably I'm doing something wrong, but if I "queue" and render them individually I get my short clips, but this way I have to stay at my computer and start a new one every 5 minutes.
I looked everywhere on the node list but I couldn't find the Peanut Butter node or the Jelly Node... But, since BMD is an Australian company, I did find a Vegemite node and a Jam node, so I'll give those a try. :)
wanted to know to just leave a red arrow intact. downloading google images with png or jpg still leaves the white dots in davinci (god knows why it's not removed by the program) so i just need the arrow without the white "transparent" background the images comes with, any idea how to remove it and leave only the arrow?
Perfect, fusion background sizing was the issue I was having. Though it's not in the title or description, you do at least end up answering the question in the latter half Oh, but hang on, now I can't see the lower video tracks :-/
Being obligated to put it black is so idiot... I've lost 40 min to find why not because my bg was pink alpha 0. Btw thank you very much for all your so useful vids.
I do all this, the graphic shoes a transparent background in window 1 and 2 under the Fusion tab, but when I go to the Edit tab the composition still has a black background. Anybody have the same issue? Went thru the exercise 5 times really slow and same thing.
It Doesn't work for me.. I set my background to alpha and the image still had a black background instead of the alpha one... Maybe I did something wrong?
Great stuff, Casey! I have one for you, I have footage of my crappy, messy garage. What I want to do , is to layer like a chalkboard, or better, a blueprint of a finished woodshop over it, maybe linear animation, like those whiteboard info-mercials do, know what I mean? Like a vision- casting of the finished product at the conception stage! Let me know what you think. I think it'd be super cool.
I remember when people teaching you something actually explained every step they took such as saying ..... now I'm going to hit this button to open this or I'm going to open this screen by hitting this button. Now, the tutorials are just someone that knows a lot about what he or she is doing and assumes you know everything they are clicking with the exception of what they are teaching you by moving the cursor all over the screen even when they are not doing anything. The title of this video includes the words beginner tutorial. That means there are a percentage of us watching this video that probably just got Davinci Resolve and know nothing about it. Nothing. God help us people that don't know everything about UA-cam tutorials of people talking a million miles a minute as if they were on cocaine and 15 cups of coffee.
Why is this so idiotically complicated. Every other editor I ever used, you'd just insert your clip/image/text whatever and simply turn down the opacity... Literally 2 steps
Wow Davinci didn't even let me drag and drop ANYTHING into the "nodes" section and edit from there. lol Unbelievable how many videos I've wasted time watching thus far only to get further from nowhere each and every time. I'm learning to hate this complete ass of a program.

thank you so much!!! you just saved me hours worth of masking! TY
Thank you so much. Struggled over an hour to get my background transparent. Making it Black solved it for me!
Thanks Casey!
Great simple explanation as to why we use a transparent background. Answers the question, “is it necessary?”
Yes it is necessary. I am currently trying to add a cow that meets an octopus up in the clouds.. don't ask why.
