Such a great tutorial! Other youtubers just show clips where trackers work on the first click without ever needing to adjust a thing. Thank you for this "real-life" example!
This is what I'm talking about! For some reason, Googling "Occluded object tracking DaVinci Resolve" didn't show any videos with any occlusion... cue the angel's harp music when I finally found this. Thanks man! I'm trying to remember how to do object removal when that object gets occluded a couple times in the shot.... You rock.
dude you saved me. I actually never knew what that "offset position" was for. I thought it literally offset the node to where ever you put it. was driving me nuts. so much "inside" info on fusion thats not really intuitive. I mean it took me 3 months before I realized you could right click on an attribute in the inspector to even get the menu, which is like insanely important. so THANK you for this.
@@prophetless indeed! and PLEASE dont ever underestimate the need for people like me, who are caught in the middle ground of leaning fusion/resolve/etc that NEED and appreciate these kinds of tuts. it seems like there is ONLY either super easy basic training tuts, or super deep ones that assume we already know what were talking about and leaves us lost, just following instructions I instead of really understanding. which I agree theres a need for on both sides, but your kind are sorely needed and missing. anyway, thanks so much again.

Thanks. This puts me on the right path. Do you have any tutorials on tracking occlude objects and green screen composition on a television while someone is standing and walking through it?
Thanks for this video. It helped quite a bit. Question: Can the tracker only append forward? I know append usually means to stick to the end but it seems like it should work both ways. The reason I ask is I used this method with mixed results. Quite frequently the appended points would be offset despite having been created with the append option selected. This is on v18 beta 2 so maybe it's a bug?
Hey Galin, I haven't downloaded the Beta of 18 yet so not sure if that is the issue. Yes you can append forward or backward. When you append the tracker are you moving the pattern or the actual tracker? When you append you just want to grab the top left corner of the pattern to move it to a new pattern. If you want to offset you would grab the center point and move it. Does that make sense? Let me know if that helped. If not just let me know.
@@prophetless I’ve been moving the actual. tracker. That ends up putting the points as far off as the new point is from the old point. The weird thing is that sometimes it does it correctly. I will try the offset method on my next set of clips. Thanks for the reply.
Sorry to bother you, I have another question if you don't mind answering...is there a way to gradually phase out the track (not by using the blend in the settings)? I was trying to flatten to curve in the spline settings but I couldn't figure it out.
Hey, not sure if I am doing something wrong but after tracking a point and changing the offset, when connecting my shape to the offset position, it snaps to where the offset is but does not animate it's position along with the track. Can you help at all?
Ignore me... Turns out it only works if the node you are trying to track on is connected to the chain. I was experimenting with an elipse not in the same node train as my tracker. Working now!
Another great NO B.S. real world tutorial from Prophetless. Thank you for such a practical and useful tutorial.
Thanks Ben for the kind words!

Haha! Awesome! Glad you found it. Thanks!
Search for this all weekend, thanks a lot!!
You are welcome! Glad it was helpful.
WOW!!! I have wanted to learn this since i started using Resolve 3 years now. Thank you!! Im so glad i found your videos.
Great to hear!

Your Welcome!
thanks for the tutorial ,its very helpful
You are welcome!
Thanks for this tutorial, it is very useful
You are welcome!
That you so much - that is *super* useful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
Super. Thanks for this gems 🙏
You are most Welcome!
Thanks. This puts me on the right path. Do you have any tutorials on tracking occlude objects and green screen composition on a television while someone is standing and walking through it?
I don't have any tutorials like that yet but I will put that on my list of videos to do. I'm hoping to start releasing videos more regularly soon.
I love you and I love this video. Dude holy crap this is such a useful video!!
Thanks! Love hearing that the videos are helpful!
Brilliant. Can't thank you enough,
Thanks! Glad it helped.
Thanks for this cool tutorial, you just nailed it to the point. 👍
Now I understand a little bit more about offset tracking.
You're welcome!
Just what I needed, thanks!
Glad I could help!

You are welcome. Let me know if you don't get it to work.
Tutorials should be like this.. problem solving.. not just "How to.."
Thanks!

Good question, when I get a minute I'll take a look.
@@prophetless Thank you!
Yes if you select the keys in the spline editor and use the bound box you can phase out the animation.
@@prophetless That's exactly what I tried but by using the "Shape Box". Where can I find the "Bound Box"?
I meant shape box😀

Awesome! glad you were able to figure it out.
