Awesome tutorial Nathan! I love it! Got a question for you - how can you accomplish the same thing in a slightly more complicated situation - I have a car moving across the screen and I'm trying to blur the license plate. Two things are happening - the cars position changes in the frame as it is moving (I'm shooting from a car behind the subject moving car) and the subject car moves to the left and goes further away (or vice versa). So the car moves across the frame and gets bigger or smaller. How do you blur the plates in the scenario like this? I've tried the tracking tool and making it change by frame, but it still loses the plate or it doesn't go small or big enough as the car comes closer or moves further away.
@@SilverGS1 @Hameed Bhatti great question. Have you tried to track it in fusion? I typically use the planar tracker tool, and then you'll have to play around with the motion type to find what works best for the shot, then create a planar transform. Add a background, drop the alpha, add your blur, run a polygon into it to get your desired shape, then run that into the created planar transform and then merge it with your media. I kinda go over these steps in my laser eyes video. If there's too much motion then you may have to hand track it with the polygon tool. Hope that helps
@@NathanCarterVids Thanks Nathan. I'm a newbie with Resolve and don't know anything about the planar tracker. I will watch your video and do some more digging on that subject. Thanks!
I'll see what I can do. In my (limited) experience I've just used the polygon node for the most part, but I'll do some research and see what I can track down. Thanks for the suggestion!
Following this tutorial, at 4:12, I try to track and a popup appears saying, "no media pool clip to track." What is this referring to? I am using the studio version.
Wow, great tutorial!! And please do the more advanced one in fusion to. I still struggleing on learning davinci resolve, so please teach me more and more and more and more 😊😜
Question, I want an easy way to make a person disappear. But slowly. I want to use a photo, and the person next to me slowly fades to disappear. Is that possible in Davinci Resolve?
Man, for some reason I find your voice is one of the best for tutorials. It's like you're singing while giving tutes. 😁 BTW, as always, a great tutorial. Cheers!
Hey Nathan. Great to find your spot. I have beta 16 and can't really upgrade because of my system soI'm happy to stumble on so much 16 stuff. Just wanted to pose a question. I shot a subject with a plain background that had some gradated lighting. Silly me didn't check the frame and found later, there was an edge of a tripod in shot. Your object removal video worked to large degree and with a little fiddling on the colour wheels got a fairly close match but none the less the gradation was different and as the subject moved it affected the lighting. To get to the point, is there a way of creating a power window to get the irregular shape of the tripod glitch, then transferring that shape to a clean clip that has no interference just to grab that gradation then somehow mask that back over to the other clip? Not sure if any of that is clear but essentially, I just need to get the gradation back within that particular shape. Luckily, it was in the bottom corner.
How do you get the dirt off the sensor in a moving image? For a few frames I succeed but then when the shot changes a little, this method no longer works
Great video and nice way to explain things. I do have deeper remove/tracking issues with a person moving in front of and out of a removed spot and only have the free version of DR. Have you come up with new videos addressing that by any chance? Thank you!! and keep up the great work.
thats a wonderful one you earned a sub. please do advanced tutorials in fusion such as good text animations and stuff orr maybe how to add butterflies or 3d stuff or maybe 2d stuff to videos. thanks mate!
just noticed in your clips, the guy who ripped his eyebrow off with tape. I remember seeing that video some months ago. you think he did the same thing in a comp? its funny because this vid reminded me of him.. then at the end I saw his clip in your timeline and was like "THATS TER GUY!!" ha ha
Haha great catch. I have a feeling that's what he did. It's such an unnatural reaction, and staying still makes doing the effect even easier so you barely have to track it.
@@NathanCarterVids yeah, I figured if he put tape that strong on, why be surprised they were gone? and why do that in the first place. anyway, thanks again for the tuts.
Okay. So I was working in the color page. Nodes are everything is the colour page. Every adjustment you make is within a node and you can order those adjustments as the information flows through the nodes in series when working with serial nodes. If all of this is brand new information to you, I'd highly recommend checking out an introduction video on the color page. There's tons of great ones on RUclips that can help get you up to speed. Removing objects is a little more advanced and would require some prerequisite knowledge. Hope that helps.
So unless there's big differences between the outlet and the character that you can key out, you're gonna have to animate the mask around the character.
@@NathanCarterVids This would be an amazing tutorial on how to use the masking in Fusion to solve such a problem the same you pointed out in your video when something covers up the selected cloned zone.
@@mastixmastix masking in fusion is the easiest thing ever. if Yule never used a node based compositor you may have to spend a few hours wrapping your head around it.. but you'll be glad you did and you'll never go back to layer based approach again.
@@flipnap2112 Maybe in the future when I grasp how Fusion works. Right now everytime I works in Fusion I step into new problems that leave in on a dead end. While in MochaPro I can work out much more accurate and I actually see what I am doing not like in Fusion where you have to right click on parameters to actually see menus (for example linking paint nodes to track)You have to remember all this things or you get lost very quickly. In Mocha Pro you have everything in front of you (all the menus) and you can try and move forward very intuitively contrary to Fusion where intuition doesn't advance you far because you never have all the info right there where you see it. I cannot work in Mocha one month but once I am in it I have everything in front and memories come quickly back. In Fusion I don't use it for a month and you are lost if you forgot a little step on how to go to a specific place or use a specific node.
I'm going crazy at the moment bro.. Davinci isn't playing anything back smoothly. I mean ANYTHING. I have not changed any settings. I checked through all my projects of videos that I've already uploaded to RUclips and even those videos are having huge lag. Video optimization has no effect on the clips and I have all the settings correct. Even a simple still image that I have a fade-in on is lagging on the fade-in. Everything is choppy and I have no clue why. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Davinci.. Restarted my computer. Been pulling my hair out for the past 3 hours trying to figure it out. If you have any clue as to why, please let me know. Thanks
@@999ThingsToCook not sure if you're on Mac or PC, but have you tried monitoring your computer. See if there's a bottleneck somewhere? Failing drive, ram, something like that?
@@NathanCarterVidsI'm on a PC. Everything appears fine there.... I have no clue. In davinci, there's a red dot next to the numbers that show gpu. Its way low. My computer shows I'm only using 5% gpu. I cant think anymore.. It has to be a computer issue. I'm sorry but I give up for tonight. This has never happened before and I havent changed any settings.
Yo really explain things very clear. You got a new subscriber. Tutorials of removing objects in complicated scenarios like you pointed out in Fusion would be very welcomed. I use Mocha Pro for such tasks but only because I am still not comfortable with Fusion and all the node structure logic. In any case keep going with all these practical solutions.
@@NathanCarterVids No I do the tracking and removal inside Mocha Pro. Even if Mocha is also not an easy program to grasp I still find it easier that Fusion with all the node and unintuitive moves you have to make to track. I think Mocha is more simple and straightforward and the clean plates creation and use options are very well integrated. Even if I follow tutorials with Fusion often I have to always go back to them because there are usually so many steps involved that you forget one and hit a wall. Hope someday Fusion will be a little more comprehensive for those of us that don't spent out time in Fusion everyday. I wish that Fusion would be more like the Color tab with menus like the new Magic mask where everything lies in front of you and you can experiment. Same happens with Mocha and this is the reason i think it is much simpler and easier than Fusion.
Fusion absolutely has a learning curve, which I too feel a long way from mastering. It's kinda nice that all of the tools can be laid out and you can easily see the pipeline, but I feel like with all things it takes practice.
Had a client that was recording and a car drove behind them, and a lady in red right after, would love to see how to deal with something like that - great video BTW!
@@NathanCarterVidsThanks for responding! yes, he's sitting still in front of a window in his office on the ground floor and a lady in red comes in behind him for like 15 seconds walking really slowly from right to left of the window. A car also comes by but that's only like 7 seconds, still very noticeable though
@@defguy319 okay, this is good. Now if you're able to isolate the client from the background during the portion where the woman is walking by and then use another section of the background behind him. This could be a real pain to do, but that would be my recommendation
Here's a quick one to get you out of a sticky situation. Shout out to Orlando Votano for the suggestion. Let me know what you want covered next!

Nowhere could I find the solution to this!
Some times the worst things happen. So, let's go for fusion, please.
thank you so much bro
Nice video, and thank you for the test footage so I could try it myself! 👍
Please cover the best way to rotoscope in fusion
I'll see what I can do. In my (limited) experience I've just used the polygon node for the most part, but I'll do some research and see what I can track down. Thanks for the suggestion!

Didnt work for me, when panning in the node sizing it doesnt cover the object i want to remove
This also didn't work for me...There are 5 nodes to choose from, a description of which node would've been a bit helpful (i.e, Parallel vs Serial ?)
a new node? i didn't even know how he got the first node in the first place...:/
YESS PLEAASE!!! Teach us master the ways of fusion
Thanks. I'm no master. But more fusion tutorials on the way
I like the idea of having a plane in the background of a Roman time set video 😂👍
Yeah. I've never actually seen gladiator, but I thought it fit haha
brilliant Nathan! exactly what I was looking for. wonderfully done tutorial
I want that advanced video in fusion please :).
why do you get so little amount of views, your video is very helpful! thanks a lot
Thanks for the support. I really appreciate it
@3:40 how you can move that zoomed clip?!? Tried shift, ctrl and alt with mouse but that's not the way to do that basic thing ?!?!?

wow .....amazing ....thanks for your tutorial
Glad you liked it
Can i remove a logo with the help of this
Depends on the shot. If it's static and it's relatively solid behind the logo, sure. If not things get a little more comples
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Happy to help
This is the best method period !!!! Thanks a lot
Really helpful! thank you Nathan☺
awesome, thanks
You're welcome!
Great work, thanks for the content.
fix it in fusion please dust in lens
