Turning off the level for the polygon for the parts the saber isn’t seen, turns off the saber effect for the entire scene! How do I turn off the saber effect for parts where it’s hidden behind the actor, or for parts of the clip it is not used? I can’t get this to work. Please help. I have been trying to find a way without cutting the clips apart for days. Thanks
@@timgrezlik746 It’s hard to say exactly without looking at your node tree, but you’ll likely need to change your Polygon mode to Subtract so it cuts out anything inside of it but leaves the rest of it in tact.
Hey Tim, thank you for the video! Everything is perfectly clear except those color transform nodes. I basically don't get it at all =( Will they conflict with my normal color grading? Should I disable them after tracking is done? Do you have a dedicated video about them or may be consider making it in future?
So I do plan on making a dedicated tutorial at some point with Fusion and color management. The thing is with version 19 it completely changed as Fusion now recognizes Resolve Color Management and can use Color Space Transforms as the viewing LUT. Now with that said, the reason I still recommend using the CST anyways is a little more technical than anything. Fusion operates in a Linear space, so it does effectively a similar thing that displays do when trying to show log footage in a Rec.709 display. It just "auto-conforms" it but doesn't actually do a color space and gamma conversion which is why looking at plain log looks really bad. This matters for Fusion because depending on how the footage is conformed, it changes the math on how pixel values are calculated which changes how the Tracker perceives the image. If you leave log footage as is, but Fusion assumes Linear, the contrast in the image is not Linear and Fusion as a harder time analyzing the footage correctly. So by putting the footage into Linear via a CST, we are actually giving Fusion accurate values to do the tracking calculations properly. What I should've probably expanded on in this video (which would've made it even longer and why I didn't mention it) is that if you are going to a color grading space after Fusion, then you would want it to end up in DaVinci Wide Gamut/DaVinci Intermediate at the very end of your node tree (or back to camera space depending on your preference with the Color page). The reason I didn't do that in this scenario is because I needed the lightsaber color/glow effects to show accurately for the example as I wasn't doing any color page adjustments here. But for color purposes, I would put a CST at the very end and ensure any other sources/assets I use go into Rec.709/Linear as well so that they all transform the exact same in the end. Hopefully this makes sense and I will hopefully do a Fusion to Color workflow video eventually. Casey Faris has done some videos in this space as well before.
Watched this edited live on Twitch 🔥10/10 video, i don't even use Resolve rn but love learning about it from your videos
Thank you! We’ll get you on Resolve soon!

@@CameraTim holy moly, thank you for such a detailed answer! it cleared up a lot indeed, but still gonna wait for the whole video anyways!
@@drakegostream Haha! Hopefully soon!
@@CameraTim no stone left unturned. As usual 👏👏👏
@@equisetuminc I always want to make things as clear as possible.
Hey everybody, itscameratimandaitmgonnashoweyouhowtotdrkancdavincieresolveand stuff.
Yes.
and STUFF!
@@equisetuminc So much STUFF
