@@ThatModernDude Can davinci resolve use the gyro metadata from sony (e.g. sony fx9, alpha 7siii or alpha 7C)? This would be even better, clearly better.
READ THIS!!! If you are having trouble getting the tracker to stay on target, I HIGHLY recommend you try setting "adaptive mode" to "best match". This worked out really great for me. You can find the adaptive mode in your tracker towards the top
I applaud you for encouraging unique questions and encouraging people to take you up on your offer. It’s this type of “outside the box” thinking that may just inspire or provoke a new idea in someone else. It’s hard to have a new idea when you’re locked in to old ones. Sometimes answers create new questions!!
Worked exactly as described :) Point to note from my own efforts on this: The time to analyse the tracking goes up dramatically if you make the search square bigger, but it does produce a smoother path.
I've been trying to do this all afternoon by following several other RUclips clips... This one is the best I've seen and make it all so simple and, more importantly, it works! Thank you! You've just got yourself a new subscriber.
I saw Brian suggest it your last video and thought it would be a great idea Good on you mate for following through and listening to your audience, appreciate it
had a few people ask how to in Resolve. There were a few AE tutorials but no Resolve/Fusion. It's still the same idea - but now I can link people to here. thanks.
Thank you for actually explaining what the Track node does. Too many of these tutorials are just "do this, then this, then this", which is great to get the effect you want, but not great for actually learning the program. Keep it up!
Coming from Premiere and trying to learn to do the same stuff in Resolve. I would often keyframe this kind of stuff and knew tracking Resolve had it built in. TYTY for showing me how.
Do you think this would be a good strategy for stabilizing a hyper-lapse? Since the pictures are so large the zoom crop wouldn't hurt resolution either!
Had a handheld video of a sunrise and I wanted to center on the sun and stop the slight movement... I had to watch this video about 5 times to understand it (I'm slow) but it worked great. Thanks!
Your videos and tutorials are getting better by the hour :-D You doing a great job, and I really like the way you talk around all the options not just the one you are using. Cheers from Norway
What is the easiest way to "loosen" the locked down tracker (ie less background movement) to give it a more "organic" feel while still mostly stabilized?
Good stuff !! I’m looking to add a cover over a car licence tag in one of my videos and this tip looks like it would do the trick. Can’t wait to give it a go, thanks.
Thanks dude, it also shows how to stick text to an object! Two things in a short video. It was only to fast speaking, but it is a lack of my language skills...
@@ThatModernDude I got all the things I need, only some details are missing. So I am really lucky about your videos and will watch them to learn more! (Maybe I will improve my English understanding skills too)
Would love to see if it is possible to use Resolve as a Media Asset Manager as well using Smart Bins as the main tool. Only concern would be Resolve slowing down or being more prone to crashes.
Thank you, was looking for something like that, and all other (free) program I found are not really capable of doing it (and Blender kinda feels like a pain). Would have been cool, if you quickly talked about how to manually correct the track (I track something that sometimes might be covered for a second, and the program can get confused). So I'm now trying a way to solve this :)
Great video, thanks for the info - unfortunately this feature is so crappy in davinci resolve. Tracker's don't follow very well in all but the most perfectly lit (and contrasty) scenarios. Glitched out a lot for me and was pretty unusable.
What if you have a subject that is moving further away and closer to the camera? Instead of at a fixed point? How do you get the clip to not look like it's bouncing around?
Now, all I ask for is, in order not to have to repeat the entire process each time I want to use the effect, is there a way to save the effect in "master" or some other place in the top left corner of Davinci Resolve for later use?
Great tutorial, I've been looking for a way of doing this. It's a bit daunting, the amount of stuff I don't know how to do yet on DaVinci Resolve, but I'll get there eventually.
How do you take a current video and edit it to so the person in it disappeared, but as the music starts she steps in to the video foot first until she is fully in the frame??
Wow!!! There are so many reasons why I wanna thank you for this tutorial!! First reason: I just shot a freelance job yesterday (a fashion video for women's shoes 👠) and as I only had the still photographer in-between moments to shoot my video at the studio, I didn't use a tripod. This method will save my shooting hehehe (PS: I'll also try the edit's page stabilization tool on the camera lock mode to see if it does the same but the Fusion method seems to be much more controlled). Reason number 2 for my "thank you" reasons is that I've been trying to learn a little more about Fusion (even attended a presencial course recently) and there are not many tutorials I found on Fusion for my needs. Usually they are about flashy things like 3D cameras or arguably "cool effects". And so I end this long comment asking for a tutorial on green screen, but a good one hehehe. How to do advanced green screen on Fusion? Meaning using clean plates and/or several different masks on the a person's (what to separate and how like head/hair/hands/etc for good green screen results). I recently made the jump from Adobe to start doing my whole video workflow on DaVinci 16.1 (I bought the Studio version after they included the full screen view support, that was the last reason I needed to make the jump). As an editor I am interested in using the different tabs in DaVinci for just what I need. Exemple: If I do green screen and compose a talent with a still for the background, many times I'll be working with log footage for the green screen talent and an oversaturated Rec709 still from Shutterstock. The usual tutorials people would make for Fusion would be compose it all on Fusion (and using the Fusion color tools to create a faux log-looking still in Fusion and having the whole composite Fusion clip to be color corrected in the Color Page afterwards as color always happen after the Fusion tab in DaVinci). As an editor I know that when you do this kind of green screen shots, clients and agencies ask for a lot of revisions, meaning the background would probably be changed a couple of times until the video is approved and it make more sense to me to have the "composite" available on my edit timeline rather than inside the Fusion clip, so my ideal workflow is to have the green screen done once and very well inside Fusion and overlaid on a still in my edit page. Client changes the background, I change it right inside the edit page and this is it. Another reason for doing it this way is that I can independently color both clips (foreground and background) in de Color Page in DaVinci. I mean why on Earth would somebody do color correcting (either the still or the log footage) inside Fusion when you are already inside the DaVinci environment??? Many Fusion tutorials I see come from a perspective of a Fusion Stand alone user. I really want see more tutorials that take advantage of using the whole Davinci Resolve ecosystem and this would be a great useful example: Do your editing on the EDIT page, do your alpha for green screen footage on the FUSION tab (where Fusion excels) and do the color grading independently for foreground and background in the COLOR tab (where the color tools in DaVinci excels over the Fusion tools). Sorry for the super long babbling comment but I really want to see more tutorials like this and have found very little resources. Cheers from Brazil! Have a great day :-)
Thanks for the video. Not really my favorite effect, but that is probably due to me know knowing how I would use it. But at least I know a bit more about howthe tracker in fusion works, so a big thumbs up for that.
@@ThatModernDude Yup. And I am sure one day down the road I will remember this tutorial and use it in a project. So please keep the tutorials coming. i'm a new subscriber and am enjoying going through your previous tuts on Resolve.

You wouldnt need to. You would just rotoscope the girl out with a garbage matte and use that to mask her out of the blur effect. Although this seems quite system intensive

It's 3yo vid and I've been working with Resolve last 4 years and it still surprise me how many features has. The best video editor at the moment IMO.
So badass. This is my first experience with Fusion and I learned so much in this short time. I'm stoked to start using it now.
So glad it helped out!!
Bro, I simply trusted and did it along with your explanation and it worked flawlessly! Thank you so much! Solved in 2min :)))
Perfect!!
Thank you so much ❤

Most important question here but sadly no answer.
@@dronescoVKE what is 'organic' feel ?
If you go in the stabilization tool in the color tab (setting it to single point) it is even easier and faster.

Love that!
very good job , thanks we are now attending to test other options : FG only or FG VS background
I’ll have to look up some good use cases for that!
Great video, thanks for the info - unfortunately this feature is so crappy in davinci resolve. Tracker's don't follow very well in all but the most perfectly lit (and contrasty) scenarios. Glitched out a lot for me and was pretty unusable.
what if i would add the tracked 'text' after it zoomed in with transform ? thank you
I love using resolve, but never have played with the advanced tracking and stabilization. Good to know there is an easy replacement to Nuke!
Fusion and Nuke are very similar!
Fantastic video, you really helped me with this one! Thanks!
What if you have a subject that is moving further away and closer to the camera? Instead of at a fixed point? How do you get the clip to not look like it's bouncing around?
this is all good but my entire screen goes black when tracker is selected therefore it does not work do you know a workaround for this?
Hey I would like to do a combo with tracking and cropping at the same time . Of an athlete performing
She looks gorgeous. Awesome tutorial btw :)

Hi. I am new to Resolve. Hope my terminology is correct. How do I "move" a video across to screen to match moving green screen
A bit more advanced, needs the full version of Resolve to be achieved

what if something covers the thing you are tracking for a frame or two? it keeps telling me failed
