Blaine... you've done it again. Thank you for always showing the simple yet groundbreaking tips for us up and coming creators. It definitely doesn't go unnoticed that you care about bringing others up with you. I appreciate that, keep it up man.
Hey thank you so much. That means a lot! A lot of this stuff I post here is so that I can watch it later when I forget how to do it.. but for sure any workflow I rely on or gem of a process I find I will post about it here.. well.. most, but not all 😉
@@MarcDeAcetis I think it's a just in case situation, sometimes you might need it and sometimes u might not, for example in a very complex VFX scene you might need an HDRI to accurately replicate the lighting in a 3D world then you add in a fake street that matches a real one from footage and you add fake cars on there or whatever you want, and in the end u composite everything together.
I commented too soon, this kinda opened my eyes up to try more more vfx out - the impact on the frames you showed is immense. Taking "run and gun" to a whole new level with simple fusion work.
Great wrok Blaine, i am use PS alot in tabletop and demo cleanup, but always reserved it for static shots, I will definitely keep this in my back pocket.
Awesome! I do consider this a “bonus” part of the workflow and don’t really find myself taking a shot and saying “I will for sure be able to fix this with this method” but the more I do it the more aware I am, when shooting, when it will work!
Dude, your skillset across multiple disciplines is so good, keep up the great work. Not sure why I hadn’t purchased F1 before now but I’m hyped to have it in my toolkit. ✌️
@@BlaineWestropp1 Guess what I've been doing all day 😂 Absolutely brilliant and game changing, I can see myself using this extensively in interview scenarios. Stumbled across your Lighting spaces not faces video last night and I love your style and your content, I'm hooked. When funds permit I'll definitely be checking out your F1 Film Emulation too. Keep up the great work!
Great video! Paint-outs are becoming so much easier now with generative fill than when you had to use the clone stamp or other manual tools like that! Here are some little tips for more realism: 1. Enabling motion blur on the Photoshop plate goes a long way to sell the effect (not sure how to do it in Fusion, but in After Effects it's just a simple on/off switch) 2. Depending on the ISO settings and what camera you're using, you might want to denoise the footage before you make the still and then add grain/noise afterwards, otherwise Photoshop will try to replicate static noise on the generated images.
Yep. 100%. Motion blur and minimal noise go a long way. I don’t even know how to add motion blur in fusion, but I’m sure there are countless RUclips videos about it. Also.. I planned but somehow didn’t end up mentioning that shooting at a low ISO, or having minimal noise is useful. Even in traditional VFX (which I still think is the absolute right way to do things..) low noise helps a lot.
This is insanely good!! I do not have Adobe With generative fill but I could probably fix things manually in photoshop and get a similar result... Thanks man
Blaine this is amazing. Makes me want to go ahead and get Photoshop now lol. I always thought gen fill was pretty good for photos but never though about tracking it into a shot. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
Fluidity with this process using Ps, Pr, and Ae is quite cool as they all link to each other so you can use PSDs in Pr and Ae which is cool as you can update the PSD and it’ll update the others. I could definitely make a video about this process!
@@BlaineWestropp1 I think it’d be super helpful, especially with the tracking component. To see generative fill content match base footage on the fly with a few clicks would be huge.
Is generative fill good with Log footage? Because I think it would be smarter to do all of your workflow with the original Arri LogC3 plate so that you’re not married to the Rec709 image. You can still color grade it however you want!
You. Can do it with log footage. I find it easier if you grade or at least “half grade” to 709 first. But it totally depends on the shot and your workflow. I’ve done it both ways!
If you are going to do edits like this on professional footage you may want to take a basic compositing course. The lack of moving grain on the set extensions/patches will be a dead giveaway it has been edited. Probably okay for RUclips, but on a big screen it will stick out.
@@paulpierantozzi yes of course. I didn’t really get into that much but grain would be applied after, for this “lazy” VFX, shooting clean (low noise) footage helps, and mostly this is a way to kind of just start thinking about VFX and working it into the pipeline (in a traditional manner) for those that are doing the whole process from shooting to delivering, and not really ever even considering VFX/cleanup!
Hi Blaine :) When I try this kind of approach I have a color shift as the image is in sRGB, so not the same color space as the footage. Do you have any advice on how to avoid that? Thank you :)
Yep.. I can’t decide if I am for or against it… but there will be a time when you can have a block long dolly shot and type “add aliens landing” it it may do a good job. It’s weird bc I kind of don’t want that to happen. I think we are a long way away from it but this stuff is moving fast.
You would then need to start introducing some more traditional VFX/cleanup. You would see what you can do what the process shown here, you would manually track when the track gets messed up when something moves over it (if it does get messed up) then you would mask out/roto the person/object that moved in between.
Are you using a timeline grade? Does the color you see in the exported frame from resolve match what you see in resolve? Lastly, you can set your timeline color space to rec709A. Let me know if you’re still having issues.
@@BlaineWestropp1 nope not timeline grade, i grade by clips, the exported frame is same as resolve, just the photoshoped photo seems to be darker . (yeap i am using rec709A )
While I like fcpx I haven’t used it in a while so I can’t speak too much on the process. But I do know for certain you can move anything from one software to another.. I do it all the time.
Did you know? Audiio States "Billed Once" and then runs your CC without a notice or receipt for hundreds of dollars annually? The artists are great. But their business ppl are snakes.
This is actually false. There are 2 accounts that I mentioned. One is a pro account which you get charged for every year. The other is a lifetime account which has only a one time fee. If you need any assistance let me know!
I get it's another tool in the toolkit, but this (along with most ai/ gen fill) stuff still looks uncanny and frankly bad to me. The method is interesting and I get it can make quick shots more interesting, but depending on it's usage it still seems like an impressive party trick rather than something I'd want filmmakers relying on.
@@dakotasillyman5495 what really became useful for me using this technique is to remove tiny things from certain shots. And that’s it. I showed the cars on the street, etc as an example. But this all spurred from a shot I took on a dolly with an outlet on the wall that needed to go. Little things like that I think are okay. Also I go back and forth all day on AI.. being anti AI, thinking some AI is okay.. so I do feel you 100%

Also for any DP’s or creators who do VFX, consider adding a 360 camera to your rig in order to gather better point data for your VFX in post
Yuup
Any tutorials I should look out for to apply this techniques with a 360 cam?

Thank you so much, this is so incredibly useful for mate painting, sometimes it’s just faster to fix the shot that way
Yep! Love it 😊
Insane. Thank you. What is more insane is I didn’t even know I had that ability in PS. Double whammy of goodness.
I love a double whammy!

The title makes total sense when you’re correcting yourself in bed yelling “it’s shift-h”. Im down with that type of editing. Great video
Hehe 😇
Thank you for uploading this video even though you’ve been busy. I know your subscribers and I look forward to these.
Have never done this in resolve, I've been using after effects to track and export clips. Will definitely be giving this a try! Thank you for this
Definitely can do the same workflow in after effects. Fusion tracker is so fast and good, though I have done this in AE often.

Thank you men, really useful video🙏🏼🔥
You can do the same in after effects! I just found the tracker in resolve to be so fast and good!
@@BlaineWestropp1
exactly, and thats why I wanted to know how to do in fusion for not saying hello again to adobe😅
Thank you again👍🏼
This video tutorial is so helpful and came at the perfect time. Thank you for this and all the help you've given me.
😎🫡
that's crazy cause this is exactly what i have to do in the little film i just shot -- very good timing!! and thank you
not gonna lie i am very impressed with how well this is working
i think that MIGHT be my switch to resolve
Perfect timing! It is so useful!
You can also do this in premiere/after effects I just think the tracker in resolve is so fast and good!

Hey thank you so much! I appreciate that, and let me know if you need any assistance with F1! There’s more to come :)

@@BlaineWestropp1shift + space: motion blur. Predict from last frame.
in fusion, merge and transform nodes have motion blur options.
you'll be happy i used your Audiio code - enjoy the kickback legend :-)
I hope you make some good stuff with it :)
This is insanely good!! I do not have Adobe With generative fill but I could probably fix things manually in photoshop and get a similar result... Thanks man
Oh yes, gen fill is the lazy way! You can create a patch manually of course.. like how the true pros do it 😉
Your intros are always legendary 🤣
😂😂 thank you!

Fusion being so good at tracking really makes this work. I also never thought it would work well but it is really good!
Also you're insert shot of correcting to shift + space cracked me up.
this was surprisingly very informative of the vfx pipeline
Thank you 😊
Mate, this is such an awesome video. You just inspired me to go harder on vfx. Well done. Love this.

Things are only going to get crazier. We live in a weird time.
Would love to see this process in Ae or Pr to have fluidity between Ps and the NLE.

Can you do the same thing in after effects? With a Adobe workflow?

Hi Blaine :) When I try this kind of approach I have a color shift as the image is in sRGB, so not the same color space as the footage. Do you have any advice on how to avoid that? Thank you :)
Try exporting a PNG from resolve. Let me know if there is still an issue and I will show you how to fix it!
next step in this direction is ia integreation of sora and other model in premiere
Yep.. I can’t decide if I am for or against it… but there will be a time when you can have a block long dolly shot and type “add aliens landing” it it may do a good job. It’s weird bc I kind of don’t want that to happen. I think we are a long way away from it but this stuff is moving fast.
checked my discord so many times during this video
Honestly I didn’t even realize it was making noise when editing. The sound has just become a part of my day to day haha
i farted into a bag of crisps.
Seal it, put it in a time capsule.
What about if something is moving in the frame in between the replaced object and camera
You would then need to start introducing some more traditional VFX/cleanup. You would see what you can do what the process shown here, you would manually track when the track gets messed up when something moves over it (if it does get messed up) then you would mask out/roto the person/object that moved in between.
