Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for sharing :)

JUST activated my Studio license a couple of days ago and this was the FIRST tutorial I worked through in it's entirety using this amazing and fun new toy!! It was a really good way to learn this tool and I know I'll be watching it again and again in the coming days. Thx for this learning exercise! Kel

[@AlexBjorstorp]

Amazing Kel! Love to hear that and congrats on your upgrade to the studio version 🙌🏻 Send me a DM on IG with what you make with the depth map, would love to see it!

[@truecut]

Seems like a promising great new channel that will grow! Great quality Alex, and cheers for the tutorials, keep them coming!

[@AlexBjorstorp]

Cheers! Appreciate it! Will do, for sure :-)

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.

Glad you found it helpful and there are always a lot of different ways to achieve a good result, sometimes the heavy tools are not the best!

[@pixelrancher]

Super cool effect. Thanks.

[@AlexBjorstorp]

You're welcome!

[@rossyb313]

Great video as always my friend 🙌👏

[@AlexBjorstorp]

Thanks a lot mate!

[@murraytinker]

I like your method. With Halloween coming up I might have fun with this.

[@AlexBjorstorp]

Uh yes! You just sparked a lot of fun ideas for me as well!

Very nice!

[@AlexBjorstorp]

Thank you!

[@Thiru.K]

What are all the other ideas do you all get while using effect ?

[@AlexBjorstorp]

This was the best idea I had for the Depth Map, if I come up with other fun ones for videos, I'll make those in the future!

[@haroondhudra60]

I think the magic track in the colour page gives the same, but the depth map is very heavy if you are using minimum range PC

[@murraytinker]

I was thinking of things like a skeleton walking through a closed door

[@Thiru.K]

@@murraytinker this is also a nice 💡

[@fabinhob.mendes8312]

please Espanish automatic translator...

[@AlexBjorstorp]

I don't have any power over how RUclips translates sorry - and I haven't gotten the time or budget to add translations to my videos, myself yet
