Wow great I now have a project for tomorrow
Ha ha! Glad you liked it. Have fun.
One additional question F2 not working to rename on my Mac, have to right click and do it that way!
Hold down the 'fn' key and press F2. The fn key is at the bottom left corner of the Mac keyboard. It doubles as the emoji key, at least it does on my keyboard. Cheers.
@@billblakely Yeah I have tried that to no avail, but thanks!
Maybe you've assigned those keys to do something else. If I remember correctly that's something you can do.
@@billblakely No never assigned any keys, was looking up on apple and it says the 'globe' key is the 'fn' key but that is not working either, stumped. Such is life! Looked at the key assignments in the app as well to no avail.
@@billblakely Aha, forgot to click on the item, globe works with F2.
A great tutorial, very easy to follow wish I had seen this prior to trying to do this a bit earlier. Can you tell me a bit more on imported graphics please, can I import from PhotoShop files. can I also import illustrator files? I assume the files need to be on transparent backgrounds, what file types can I import? What sort of resolution do I need if placing on 4K vid? Plus any other additions information. Using DeVinci 19.
DV 19 doesn't change anything in regards to what's covered in the video. You can use any graphic file, as far as I know. Certainly all the popular formats. Easiest thing is to try and see. Do you mean photoshop and Illustrator project files? I really don't know. But anything exported from those apps should not be a problem. For transparency I use png. I haven't used other types but don't think they'd be a problem. Files you import don't need to have transparent backgrounds unless you want the background to be transparent. 4k is high resolution so if you use low resolution images they will stand out as such. That's all I can tell you for now. Happy you liked tne tutorial. Thank you.
Brilliant video! I'm familiar with all this logic from Blender Video Editing thingy but decided to switch to DaVinci now and feel a bit lost where to find what. Even though I got your drill at the first few minutes out of appreciation to how you were straiight to the point I watched all the way until the end so that I don't screw up your watchtime. Huge thanks!
You're very welcome! And thanks for watching till the end. I appreciate it.
Noob question: could you have used the offset tool instead of retracking the left dancer? Is there any reason I do not see to retrack instead of just adjusting with the offset tool?
Yes you could or you could use the offset controls in the tracker node. The purpose was to demonstrate how to fix a partial bad track without tracking the whole thing again.
Thanks for the best explanation of how masks work on Affinity.
You're welcome! Thanks so much for the feedback. Appreciate it.
This is the best tutorial on video tracking in DaVinci Resolve that I've ever seen! Nicely done!
That's great to hear. Thanks so much!
bro ur tumblen
Thank you!
This was a really well done tutorial that also addressed details I've never seen explained before.
Thanks very much! I appreciate it.
Thank you very much. First actual comprehensive guide I've found.
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
dude thank you so much
Any time!
This is the 2nd video of yours that i have watched. They are comprehensive with well paced , clear instructions giving enough time and explanation for us to see and understand how you are achieving your results. Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks so much for the feedback. Appreciate it.
Thank you🙏
You're Welcome! 😊
I am taking a serious look at Affinity since I wouldn't mind divorcing Adobe, BUT the RAW conversion tools are really weak especially in the shadows and highlights compared to Adobe Camera Raw. Have you found the Affinity Photo conversion takes minutes per photo? Compared to Adobe, I have found its rendering into JPGs was much slower too.
I've never used Adobe. I don't have the money for a subscription. From watching videos however, it's clear that Photoshop has far greater depth and functionality of tools. On the surface Affinity Photo and Photoshop are pretty comparable but when you dig down deeper Affinity Photo comes up short many times. That said I don't find the conversion to JPEG to be slow at all. It's just fine for me. And for the things I do Affinity Photo is quite good. I don't find myself wishing it could do more. It all depends on your needs and ability to pay as to which is better, I guess. Clearly, right now, Adobe is superior in many ways. But how much that superiority is worth in practical terms is another matter. I usually spend between three to five minutes on RAW development per photo.
@@billblakely agreed. Well said. For ny weddings, the extra quality of ACR makes me keep using Adobe even though I wish AP well.
holy cow what a golden video, this helped so much especially since other videos were so outdated. Thank you!
Thanks so nuch! Glad it helped you out.
This video really helped me to get over the hump, so to speak, in developing the Raw files from my new used Leica Q2 Monochrom. You need to do more on this topic, but this one is the best I found by far. Very clear explanations and at an easy pace to follow. Thanks. 👍👍👍
So glad you found it helpful! As I remember I covered everything I personally do in RAW mode. I did leave out noise reduction since I almost never use it. What in particular woud you like to see more of on the RAW side?
@@billblakely I know this is a leap, but what about using developer on the iPad version. Slimmed down interface, but using my Leica Q2 Monochrom (any of the new Leicas will work) and the Leica Fotos app runs on an iPad as does Affinity Photo (I have the enterprise version), I am looking to streamline my workflow especially when I am out in the field rather than need a laptop or workstation. BTW - no need to do noise reduction. Masking seems to be an art at times and how to achieve subtle effects. .
I don't have an iPad so I can't do anything like that but there are some videos on that though I don't know how good they are. I have a two or three videos that cover masks explicitly and a bunch more that use them and discuss them even though they're not what the video's primarily about. All best.
@@billblakely The other thing that really doesn’t get explained is the tools on the left side of the screen. Everyone does the tools on the right side since they are the most common tools to make the major changes.
Thank you, I use the same tool to straighten panoramas ---- but like all editing; don't over do it. Interesting use of guides that I never used as I have grown used grids
You're welcome! Glad you liked it. Guides are handy. You can add just as many as you need. Grids don't provide that flexibility.
Exelent
Thanks very much!
Excellent tutorial, thank you. Explanations are to the point and the pace perfect.
Thanks very much! Appreciate it.
Cracking, Bill! Thank you. The most clear mask tutorial, top job! Have subscribed…👍. Cheers!
Thanks so much! Glad it helped. 🙏
Thank you, I happen to have a slanted building and I will definitely be trying these steps.
You're welcome! Hope it helps.
Thank you, this video is certainly higher than my level of confidence and ability. It’s nice to see it in action.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you
My pleasure!
Thank you for this information, you provided many helpful details. I like most things about Affinity 2. Hopefully you will have some videos that will change my mind about the things I don’t like about Affinity.
You're very welcome! Happy you found it helpful.
Excellent video. Thank you
You're welcome! Appreciate the feedback.
Thank you. I've expected that this changed (is possible) from v2, and you confirmed it to me.
You're welcome! Glad it was useful.
Admirably concise, clear and lacking in fuss. Thank you. Useful too !!
Thank you very much for appreciating! Cheers.
Great video. It is exactly what I was looking for. Can I ask you other questions ?
Thanks for the comment! You can ask questions. No problem at all but I am not a Keynote expert so I may not know the answer. 😀
Does this work on split screen video? I want to do it individually to each one
Yes, it should work. I'm assuming the split screen is composed of two seperate clips. Just select one of the clips and open the inspector and set up the zoom/pan like in the video. Then do the same with the other clip. Each will be independent of the other.
wow, Another cool tutorial. When you dropped down ea photo in the Right Panel, did you add that Pixel (checkerboard) layer to it or was it set up automatic?
Thank you! I believe it's automatic. A result of having Transparent Background checked in the Document menu. That's my guess anyway. I can't say for sure.
@@billblakely ah ok. I'm still using Version 1. I'll check that out.
wow, this is Golden.
Thanks very much! Appreciate it.
@@billblakely your welcome
Too easy, thank you, I could not find it without this though. Seconds in to your video, there I was, all sorted, no more frustrations. 🙂
Thanks so much! Happy to hear it was helpful.
It seems so odd that some settings are unavailable when using overlays in develop persona.
It is odd. I don't know why it is. I'm pretty certain some other editors don't have this limitation.
Need auto mode. Can't edit 5 minutes a photo.
AI to the rescue 😅
Thanks for sharing. 1st time viewer & now Subscriber. I've been struggling on how to use the maskikng features in Affiniy Photo, and your explanation has really helped out. I still have a long ways to go to be able to use masks in Affinity Photo like I can with "videos" using DaVinci Resolve (which is much more intuitive).
You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback. Happy you found the video helpful.
Thank you. I love the quick short tutorials sometimes. Many times a photo just need a quick adjustment to give it a little more life This is very handy.
Thanks very much! Glad you found it handy.
I learned something more. Thank you
You're welcome! Happy you found it helpful.
Your explanations are perfect. Thanks for keeping it simple.

You're welcome! Glad you found it useful.
WB color corection for best realistic colors [real estate]. What method do you know? Tks!
I don't have a "method," If shooting RAW I correct white balance in the Develop Persona. It's on the basic tab. Otherwise I just use the white balance adjustment layer in the Photo Persona. On top of that I would use a selective colour adjustment and maybe an HSL adjustment as well. Or you could just use an HSL adjustment. The colour balance adjustment layer can be quite useful too. It's similar to the white balance adjustment but it lets you target shadows, mid-tones and highlights separately.
Hi, thanks for the video. However, when I want to choose an empty mask I have to hold down Option (on my Mac) when clicking the Mask icon, whereas you seem to have access to the mask menu with one click....?
The UI has changed since the video was made. You now have to hold the option key down to access the drop down menu.
@@billblakely Thank you Bill. While I'm here, I'd like to point out that I tried to recreate your white mask example at 2.22 approx. but haven't been able to..... I'm a bit of a noob and have been struggling a bit with black masks/white masks and have gone over that example many times but still don't understand how we get different results. I could not replicate the black line over the pink background, what I get is simply a white line right through both the pink square and the yellow circle; I tried setting the background to transparent and then I get a line showing the checkered background through both... is there some setting to do with layers or masks that I'm getting wrong? Also, when I apply an empty mask, I just get a white screen, unlike your pink background... I'm hoping it's easily resolved! Thanks.
My apologies. The first part of the video is a graphical representation to help explain how masks work. The black line you speak of is there simply to show the colour paint being used. In reality you wouldn't see that; you would see what you're getting. Sorry for the confusion. But the good news is that the masks are working as they should and you're doing everything right. If you only want to make the circle invisible you can do it two ways: 1. Put the circle on a separate layer all by itself and apply an empty mask to that layer 2. Leave everything on one layer and apply a mask and paint black over the circle to make it invisible or apply an empty mask and paint white around the circle so everything but the circle is visible. Of course you have to paint on the mask layer. Hope this helped.
@@billblakely Thanks Bill, I feel so much better knowing it's not me just being thick! Well, I've just come down with the flu, but apart from that... I'll try out your example later. Much appreciate you getting back to me ☺
Great explanation of concepts without getting to deep. Love all you videos. Appreciate you work .
Thank you very much! I appreciate your support. Cheers!
