Let's just take a moment to appreciate how it's a detailed half hour video - but there's enough to go "wait that's easy" in the first ten seconds. No big build-up, just the good stuff.
Brother, you are the DaVinci of Resolve! The sheer amount of solutions you have to every editing hurdle is impressive on it's own, but when paired with the efficiency of knowing all the shortcuts etc. you exemplify the difference between a true video editor vs some guy who just edits (i.e me). Your channel is an arsenal of knowledge you've accumulated over thousands of hours of trial, error and hard work so thank you for sharing it with us to save us many a migraine as well as countless hours of frustration. Mad respect.
OK, hold on there. There’s nothing wrong with people who just want to edit. You think on a Hollywood movie that the editor also does the special effects? No there are people specialized in all different fields. Nothing wrong with just being a great editor. Because let me tell you… Most people who just edit are terrible at what they do. They have no clue what really good editing is. There is a place for all of us.
@ Woah woah woah, hold on there bud. I wasn’t saying there is anything wrong with people who just edit, I’m one of those people, as I mentioned in the comment 😆 I was simply praising the mad skills this dude has and for sharing the years of acquired knowledge with us lot. Especially considering most of us on here are the writer, director, cinematographer, editor, colorist etc. on our own no budget projects because we yearn to create. It’s all love dude, hope you enjoy your current/next editing sesh. Sincerely - some guy that edits.
Please keep making these AWESOME Fusion tutorials. Not only you are helping Fusion users to learn Fusion, Adobe can't stop putting ads on your videos about Resolve, so please, don't let them stop giving you money.
I barely have enough knowledge and experience for this but because you explain the small details so thoroughly I was able to follow along and understand. Thank you so much!
Probably the best tutorial video I have ever watched, regardless of subject matter. Very thorough, very detailed, yet easy to follow and understand. Now I have to find something to rotoscope! LOL.
Great tutorial, Chadwick! Appreciate these simple processes you explain in a simple and easy to follow step by step process... looking forward to the next one!
As usual a very well presented video. One thing you might want to consider to even further automate this is by using a planar tracker either directly on the sign or even on the stabilized footage, so that the planar tracker can take care of the perspective change in addition to the stabilization you already created.
Super useful stuff as always! I never knew you could add another input to the color page, and using it to add the alpha matte so you can color grade only select parts of the footage without tracking/masking in the color page itself is so helpful!!
I'm starting to think of myself as an intermedial DRS user. This is an outstanding video, not just because it showed how to make a "rotoscoped" mask without Magic Mask, but also because there were several details I had long wondered about -- What are the other settings besides BG in tracker? What's the ? How do I use multiple Media Outs? What is Match Move Reference for? All great things I didn't know -- in addition to the main point of the video. However, I might feel a bit cheated becuse your tutorial is probably a fair bit easier than rotoscoping a man with a hat that's persumably moving, as the thumbnail shows. Still, I think this is an AWESOME video. Thanks.
Awesome Sir! Another idea poped in my head like we can use the "faster" mask for overall clean shapes and add the data to another one with "better" for the selection of hairs and complex stuff.. I don't know how it'll go but let's see! hehe. And yeah! Waiting for the Linear Workflow Tutorial!❤️
I can't understand why I didn't get the idea that it's possible to transfer movements from the tracker to the mask in this way! For two years, I either made rotoscope manually, or passed the movement to the mask, using the tracker modifier, but this way, I have not met in any tutorials, and I have reviewed them dozens, thanks Chadwick!
I really wish they implement a quick tracking similar to the powergrade in the colorpage that works extremely well. And ti defend the magic mask, it can do a great job on certain subject complicated to track by hand but sometimes it fails and then, you have to know what your doing by using proper rotoscoping. I've actually learned thing like the alt click to select a tracker point, great !
Your videos never disappoint. Thanks so much! Have you considered doing a video on the new Blackmagic Micro Panel? Nobody's seem to have done that yet.
You're awesome. Thank you! Regarding the micro panel - I've thought about. I think team 2 films did a great job on it, but I know its not for me since I have another panel already. But I will consider maybe giving it a look if there's enough interest.
@@CreativeVideoTips Their video is good, but there's a LOT of features that they don't get into, and I have yet to find THE definitive review on it with all the features like there are for the other panels. I'm NYC based...if you want to borrow mine for a video, I'm totally down. your stuff is incredible. Thanks!
When I was using old school final cut, I dreamed of an actual NLE that incorporated After Effects. FCP was supposed to be that, but was never developed enough to where it could compete with After effects. I feel like Resolve is the tool I always wanted. Perhaps Motion has evolved since, for FCPx users.
Hi - thanks for being here and watching. I do still use the m1 max laptop, but not at my sit down home studio. I use an M2 max studio there - it is very marginally better performance, but wanted a machine that stayed put for my local network shared project libraries. I have an m4 base mac mini ordered to run a comparison later this month. You can make just about anything on any computer once you learn how to tame resolutions, bit depth, proxies, etc...
Amazing! I've tried the magic mask and I honestly think that it's unusable rubbish most of the time. Often the mask is uneven or randomly cuts out, or extends over other objects for a few frames. I also find myself always having to retrack the mask. Maybe it's just me being an idiot and user error, but if not, I hope Black Magic fixes it.
It's funny how you'd use the term "no resolve editor uses" when this is basically how the most 'correct' tracking is done universally. Anyway, it's great you made a video about it, since most of the newcomers most likely will go towards the modern 'clever' tracking methods that you have no proper control over.
Ha - you'd be surprised - it's just not taught much anymore when you learn solo. But yes, this is the classic technique and still the best. Stabilize, maybe even a couple ways, then roto and matchmove.
Absolutely. That would be a typical "split screen" is what we call that. How difficult depends on camera movement, overlap - etc... I have another tutorial on the channel that talks through a split composite to combine multiple shots together.
@@CreativeVideoTips Anymore help would be greatly appreciated by this noob! :) Cuz I'm trying to take several clips of multiple people in the shot fighting, and isolate each character in the shot and assign his actions onto my 3D characters via mocap derived from this resulting video
Holy shit! This is brain surgery to be sure. It is amazing that you know all this stuff… I just wanna know where did you learn all this. Did you go to fusion college? Lol
Does this work for human subjects? I seriously doubt it (Ive only been watching for like 5 mins) I just kinda wish there was a quick roto capable program that does t cost anything and isnt runway 😂

:) - I'm going to try to make a habbit of this in all tutorials moving forward.

All those tiny little advice like hold Alt/Option and drag a point closest to the cursor... Simply wonderful. Thank you.
Thanks - yeah this is one of the ways fusion beats the color page for a custom mask shape.
I LOVE your oldschool technique series! Please don’t stop them coming
Please keep making these AWESOME Fusion tutorials. Not only you are helping Fusion users to learn Fusion, Adobe can't stop putting ads on your videos about Resolve, so please, don't let them stop giving you money.
Whattttt?????? I can combine numerous shape nodes??????? WOW!!!!!! MIND BLOWN!!! Thank youuuu!
This is an awesome tutorial. Great job Chad. Love the cap too :)
Absolutely fantastic! The depth of your knowledge of the inner workings of Resolve is just incredible. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Another one smashed out of the park, Chadwick you're a champion, Thank you.
I barely have enough knowledge and experience for this but because you explain the small details so thoroughly I was able to follow along and understand. Thank you so much!
Hold down Alt to drag a point!! Thank you, why did I not know this before!! That's great!!
The ctrl click for the points is very helpful! 👍🏻
Probably the best tutorial video I have ever watched, regardless of subject matter. Very thorough, very detailed, yet easy to follow and understand. Now I have to find something to rotoscope! LOL.
Great tutorial, Chadwick! Appreciate these simple processes you explain in a simple and easy to follow step by step process... looking forward to the next one!
Came for the tracking, Stayed for everything else. What a gem, appreciate the work you put into this video!

Ooo diving into this now. Thank you!!!
An excellent guide to rotoscoping. Cool 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Nice one. You have a pleasant way you teaching! Thanks for all your hard work!
Super useful stuff as always! I never knew you could add another input to the color page, and using it to add the alpha matte so you can color grade only select parts of the footage without tracking/masking in the color page itself is so helpful!!
Happy to help!
bro, i love this kinds of videos they're amazing, please make more❤❤❤
I’ve been using Fusion for years and I still just learned so much. Just when you think you might know something…. Thanks Chadwick!
Yooo...this is ridiculous. Great explanation
As usual... Well Done! 💪 💪 💪
Brilliant stuff, thank you! :D

You are awesome. Thank you for hanging out here today.
Love your work bro! Thank you so much!

I don't know how it'll go but let's see! hehe.

I actually prefer bottom-to-top for my node stack. I worked in AE for too long LOL. It's just more comfortable and logical to me. Love your tutorials.

I want that lid!

@@RDAudioReviews yeah fusion surpasses after effects in every way regarding compositing. Motion graphics is a work in progress but has a lot there.
okay. whoa.
Hey Chadwick, thank you for all that you share on the channel. I just curious what is your computer currently? Are you still using the 14in M1 Max?
Hi - thanks for being here and watching. I do still use the m1 max laptop, but not at my sit down home studio. I use an M2 max studio there - it is very marginally better performance, but wanted a machine that stayed put for my local network shared project libraries.

funny tshirt 😄
Thanks for the video. How much would you say the Resolve tracking technology and ability is behind that of BorisFX's Mocha?
It's good for "easy" shots - I personally pay for Mocha because that can get me further and solve just about anything.
can we set all the workspace as we need and save it? instead of doing for every project?
Amazing! I've tried the magic mask and I honestly think that it's unusable rubbish most of the time. Often the mask is uneven or randomly cuts out, or extends over other objects for a few frames. I also find myself always having to retrack the mask. Maybe it's just me being an idiot and user error, but if not, I hope Black Magic fixes it.
please make a video about using a tablet with Fusion
It's in the works :)

Can this be used to isolate one character in a shot from 2 other characters in the same shot?

When I tried to down load, All I got was the video playing and no download
@adsmithtx sorry. Please check now - I have zipped it up so it should force a download.
Must be a simple way
Holy shit! This is brain surgery to be sure. It is amazing that you know all this stuff… I just wanna know where did you learn all this. Did you go to fusion college? Lol

Disappointing that the thumbnail is literally nothing to do with the style of roto in the video.
The thumbnail is a bit deceptive. I clicked with the intention of masking people with tracking.
Way too 😅complicated
you and @Danvinci1 would be a cool collab - DR wizards. ty for this, cheers.
