Thanks for the comment! I appreciate it. I wasn't sure if the surface tracker would do what I wanted, so I just decided to give it a go and find out by trial and error. Amazing what you can discover when you just poke around in DaVinci Resolve!
Love this tutorial! Not only you are sharing your knowledge and explaining it so well that anyone can do it but the choice of music and your voice makes the video so soothing :) Thank you!
GREAT TUTORIAL! As a long time user of Resolve (since version 12,) I wish I had your tutorials back then to reference. Thanks for the great job in this one. And I look forward to seeing more of your Resolve tutorials. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 There is always something new to learn in Resolve.
Outstanding video. Your instructions and delivery were perfect. Please keep making the videos. If you’re up to a challenge, I’d like to see a tutorial of using the magic mask in a transition. For example, a rising shot on a building facade that reveals something totally unexpected over the roof line. Great work.
Many thanks Denis, that's really nice feedback, and very motivating! The magic mask with a rising building façade sounds like a great topic, I'll have a look into it!
Super tutorial, and the effect really helped produce an engaging Tenerife video. I will donate more of my clips soon; I have a load of them however half belong to clients (paid photoshoots) and the rest are for my Wiltshire video (which I have to make myself to keep the "all my own work" notion of our exhibition!). I will check if I have others that you can use though, and we will get out for a photoshoot ourselves. I have a place in mind.
Wow!....u make this look easy and it does look great... and u have never made up a floating text before? Cudos to u that u have a mind that is quite comfortable with DR 18 Studio. My mind tends to fight it rather than flow with it ensuring it takes me longer than it should. Like you, I have never created a text on surface graphic before but I want too and have been scouring RUclips for an approriate tutorial. Then there was U! I kid u not that this was the last tutorial I bumped into tonight, beforehand I was quite dishartenedand frustrated at the lack of success/progression. I wonder if I could put a question to u please....the aerial scene I have in mind decends towards the ground as a harvester cuts hay in a paddock. The wording during decent would simply be "Harvesting Season" till the camera stops at a certain point. Your tute explains a lot yet mine needs an additional step and I would be grateful if you could suggest how to achieve maintaining the text proportionally in the frame and always in the correct position during the decent to stop. It has been a pleasure seeing your work and approach to conveying information to the mere mortals amongst you. Cheers
Thanks for the really positive comments! From your description, I'm not entirely sure what effect you're trying to achieve. If you want the text to track the surface of the hay, the method I explained should work and it will hold its position when the camera stops moving. If the camera has stopped but the hay keeps moving (in the wind for example), then the text will keep moving along with the surface of the hay. However, if you want your text to remain static but move according to a point on the screen that stops when the camera stops moving, this is a different technique. I recommend this video by DanVinci that might explain what you're looking for? ruclips.net/video/Xl3rzqUEhps/видео.html I hope that helps! Andy
any ideas how to add fusion titles instead of text on that surface tracker?? i had seen one but using after effect.. randomizer text that shuffle the letter one by one then tracked behind object
Hi, thanks for the question! I'll be the first to admit that Fusion is like kryptonite to me - I don't use it much and find it confusing. For this video the Fusion workflow was pretty simple so I took the time to learn it. If I was going to try it again with your request, I guess I would create the Fusion title (or experiment with an image like a PNG) and then try plugging that in to the Surface Tracker node (instead of Text, at 7;29 in the video) - then just run it and see what comes out. Trial and error seems to work for me!
This is my first ever DaVinci Resolve tutorial, so please go easy on me in the comments!
Well done !! Respect !
I didn't know that we can use the surface tracker with the water.👍👍👍❤
Yeah and it's actually pretty easy. Thanks for the comment and the love!
Thank you, this is an excellent tutorial. You explained the instructions very clearly at a easy pace.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Excellent! Many thanks. Amazing that Surface Tracker actually provided the wipe from the wave!

Thank you … glad I could follow without having to pause/rewind …
Thanks!
Great job, simple and a really great looking effect. My brain is going into overdrive thinking of how I can you this! Thanks again.
Glad you like it! Got a beach holiday coming up by any chance...? ;-)
This was fantastic! Thank you.

Well for your first tutorial I'd say you did a hell of a job! Pretty damn cool.
Thanks man! Comments like this really motivate me to make more.

Sounds awesome Hedley, really looking forward to some adventures soon!
