Tracking Objects and RotoScoping in Resolve 17 - Intermediate Fusion Tutorial

Here's my only issue with nodes. I'm new to it. Like today years old new. When I got to grade my project, I will be grading the text too. How does this get addressed? Like what if I want a stylized look, but pure white text?

Come on bro why can’t we let Text slide w no motion blurs. Text is special 😂

Great tutorial !

I am doing a bunch of track and replace screens for a video I'm working on, has anyone ever run into the problem where you create a mask and use a planar transform to move the mask, but sometimes to the mask either shrinks with the planar transform and the control handles / vertices become too small to manipulate or the mask disappears altogether? The mask still does its job, the interface for manipulating it just disappears? Also thank you for making these videos Casey I have in fact learned almost everything I know about Fusion from watching your tuts, as soon as i finish this project I am going to buy your series and go through it.

Thanks...

good video, but now with davince 18.5 is can you take the pigion out with the magic mask? if yes, can you make a video how :D

Amazing tutorial. Very useful skills, presented in an easy to follow way, and of course great example with explanations for a lot of different problems one might encounter. I loved the pidgeon sound too. You're great, Casey!

Thank you kind sir for all your easy to understand tutorials :)

I think the problem with the first track is because you track it's perspectives. If you only track transform, it shouldn't behave like thst

I know this is an older video, but amazing, I love that you included the troubles, and troubleshooting

still waiting for email reply as I have downloaded several times and files are missing so cant start the course after paying the money ???

THANK YOU!! I was literally searching for this type effect for like 6 straight days

I hate pigeons now

W content

Very cool!

damn

Randomly viewing your videos, I am amazed how your instructions are relevant. Too many tutorials, be they Photoshop, CaptureOne, or Davinci Resolve, teach basic, but relatively useless items. Your tutorials address real-world items. Great!

thanks

Does anyone know if it's possible to use animated text while doing this kinda tracking?

are you making a course for version 18 now? would love to buy that!

Nice video as always, but what happens when you need to track the pigeon for 15 minutes?

Just made my first roto scope on my iPad. Thank you Casey. Although the planar tracker didn’t work and my roto was not perfect, but I’m happy with what I made.

Thank you Casey, great video, i have the M1 Max. I am rotoscoping in fusion on a 4k raw image, kinda need good playback to see if the scope follows the footage. Its not going smooth on my macbook M1. The mask is not updating always and I need to click a corner of the mask every time for it to update, and sometimes the mask is updating but the background image is not (stuck). Is there a way to make this work?

Is there a way to use the Object selection from the color page to make the selection of the pigeon easier and add that tracking data to the Planar Transform?

This was a good tutorial, but there should be a mention of how much easier this task is with Magic Mask, either using Fusion or in the color tool -- If you have the Studio version.

Is this just for Studio, or free too?

Plot twist: thats just some random dude.

Casey bravo!But as in this case you could have used the text an inverted mask on the video track. Also if you want to show how to follow an object using a simple shape as in this case, in Fusion with the right click you can directly publish the mask points as a tracker and follow the bird😉

This content is appreciated so much. i legit just let you autoplay in background as im working just because i pick up topics that grab my attention throughout your videos even if the topic isnt something i htink im ready to learn or use in my current low rank kind of work, you have a way of making it seem relevant to use or implement/practice. so thanks for everything youve done and continue to do for the beginner community

Hey casey! Really appreciate this tutorial, but I have a question, what if I wanted to only have the bird out of that whole shot?

I feel honored that this tutorial is meant as a intermediate course and I understood everything. But this comes from a good teacher who explains it very well even for beginners. Good job, love it!

Great one. Thank you!

Absolutely awesome.

Casey, I followed the instructions you had on a separate video, to cover up some curse words spray-painted on a wall where we filmed. It worked... except when actors walked in front of the sign (they have to, we have no choice). At that point, the actors would appear behind a sign that was supposed to be 20 feet behind them. Any suggestions?

Hi Casey! IDK if you read these but I ran into a bit of a problem when applying the Planar Transform node to the Text/Merge node line. The "PlanarTransform" text turns red as does "MediaOut" and the whole frame freezes up. Any idea why this is happening?

I know this is a year old, but a REALLY good trick is to stabilize the footage so the bird so its "centered" making the roto work extremely easy. then a few nodes down the pipe, un stabilize the footage along with the roto. "lockdown" is the best investment Ive ever made for this stuff. for those of you who want to dig in a little deeper. fusion is a life saver

Does the END TO END work for Resolve 18? And do you need the PRO/paid version? 17 is advertised. Thanks, Casey Faris!

Dude I got so into the bird masking that I forgot about the Tuesday text. This was a seriously helpful video to see how the pros do it. Preeesh.

Fun stuff.

thank you so much

The best Davinci fusion channel out there

Many thanks! You are the best!

nice

Great tutorial.

omg i love this. im 3 days into editing. like actually my first video editing software and youve made it a blast. i know im skipping ahead but as long as your videos are up ima just keep exploring till i know everything ! thanks guy !!!!

Love watching you work through a mini project. Not only do I pick up the main points, but a lot of the minor tips and techniques in your workflow. Thanks for a great video!

No problem with pigeons - everybody knows seagulls are the worst

Also, it never ceases to amaze me how high quality content like this is freely available to everyone. Would've been unthinkable not too long ago, so - thank you for all the dedication and effort you put in

Wow! That is a pretty intense tutorial and one of the best. I do have a challenge for you. I am trying to use fusion for my Planetside 2 videos. I been struggling to find ways to make the text follow vehicles and aircraft when they fire. I really want to add text above tanks and jerk as the tank jerks when it fires its cannon. I think H Anchor might have to do with it but i am still very new to editing. A video on this type would help me out greatly.
