Thanks for these comprehensive beginners tutorials. Focusing on one tool type at a time is a helpful overview format.
Glad it was helpful! I plan to make more like this on all the node groups...they take a while to make, but I'd like to have a library that would be very searchable in the future.
I subscribed after listening one minute, immediately understanding that I was going to learn a lot. This level of precision and completeness is unsurpassable. Besides, your english is very clear for a non-native speaker
Thank you, that’s great to hear. I try to be clear in my videos. I sometimes speed up too much, but I’ll try and remember that there are lots of non-native English viewers watching.
Awesome tut. Great job on spending the necessary time to cover the concepts in their entirety and usefulness.
I was thinking about asking you to do a tutorial on channels and channel booleans and transparency today, and here it is!
Great suggestion! So many topics, never enough hours in the day.
Wow, I have been subscribed to your channel for a while, but in this video you not only told us how to make a mask, but you EXPLAINED what was happening as you went. I have been craving for someone to do this kind of tutorial, because I need to know WHY the tools work. Thanks. I hope you do things this way more in the future too!
Doug Moody you bet! Over the next few months, I’ll be focusing on two types of content for the most part. Quick how-to videos and these longer more thorough basic skill foundation videos. They will be held in different playlists, but i think both types are beneficial for all skill levels.
Ditto what Doug Moody says!
Your tutorials are the best Resolve tutorials I have ever seen. So much information presented clearly and concisely -- no bloat. Thank you!
Thanks Steve! Thats a big compliment, I really appreciate it.
THANK YOU !!!! This tutorial helped me so much... with extra details that are really hard to find elsewhere. Especially with masks added to masks and changing the PAINT mode. YOU ROCK !!!!
Excellent, cheers!
Great tutorial, stright on the point in greater detail. Building a solid foundation in understanding masks. Great job.
Thanks so much!
You are absolutely brilliant at covering these subjects, so glad i found your channel.
Thanks! Big compliment.
Once again you bring us a really informativ and easy explained video :-) Thank you, learned alot from this! Cheers
Thomas Hansen thanks, this one took a few days and many screen capture attempts, but I’ve finally gotten it to a place where I’m ok publishing it. The topic of masking is ridiculous to try and teach in such a short format so this is just the basics. Cheers!
In depth and straight to the point. Thanks.
Thanks for noticing! Cheers!
Thanks!
Welcome!
SO HELPFUL. thanks!
You're welcome!
such an amazing tutorial and so well done! Big Thanks :)
You bet!
GREAT EXPLANATION
Thanks!
This is excellent.
Thanks!
Awesome This is just one stop shopping for masking... i really love your way of tutorial.. this is really hard topic.. you just made it simple..thankyou CB SUPER
Thank you so much 🙂
I have been using Premiere Pro since it was still called Premiere way back in 2000. I decided to give Resolve a try. Your videos are making that transition so much easier. Thanks for the tutorials. Looking forward to rotoscope video.
I still enjoy Premiere and After Effects, but find i go back to it less and less (except for Saber and Element plugins).
Great tutorial and nice to listen. Thanks. 🙂
Thank you!
Hi, nice explanation. Learnt something new with the S and T keys to scale and rotate with a pivot point, super useful for rotoscoping. thanks.
The S and T keys are instrumental in speeding up Rotoscoping, you can also use the W key to widen the tangents, although it's less useful unless you need to control the angle of a corner.
Wow...Thank you for the tutorial. I have learnt a lot from your video.
Very welcome
Cheers dude, really helpful!
Awesome!
Awesome tips bud! I learn so much from you, Thanks.
Glad to hear it!
Awesome video!! Thanks for the education. 🙂👍🏽
Very welcome. Glad it helps.
Thank you for the information. Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for watching!
Greetings dude!
Just like many other people here, I have learned so much from your tutorials. Watching you figure stuff out in Fusión with the nodes is awesome.
It made me realise I could play around with them and figure stuff out too. Thanks to you, I figured out how to make a text mask, have a video playing behind it, and have that text mask have an ambient glow around it against a black background, with the help of several merge nodes and brain storming. It's all about layers!
Thank you for the time and effort you put into your videos! You're a hero!
Thats awesome and great to hear! Playing around in Fusion is the best way to stumble upon new techniques.
@@CBSuper if I may ask a question, sir.
I have only a medium range gaming laptop which I have used to delve into video editing. I found that playback would usually be laggy, and sometimes I would have to play back a piece of editing several times before it ran smoothly.
I have found that turning off render cache, back ground caching and fusion cache, made everything a lot smoother, almost no lag, until it had heavy fusión edited clips to play back in real time.
Is it just the simple fact my hardware is not powerful enough and there's no other work around?
My specs are:
Core i5 7th gen
8gb ddr 4
Gtx 1050
Thank you for any input you may have.
robenkk so if your on the free version, most stuff used just your cpu to process. The studio version uses way more gpu to make things all move quicker. Cheapest upgrade to get more speed is buy the Studio version, but i honestly dont know if that is your specific problem. Id also check to see if your cpu or your data storage is your bottleneck for speed. When you import footage, it is still on whatever drive your using so if its on a spinning external hard drive, it will be slower than on a flash/ssd drive. You may also want to check out Johns films, he has lots of videos on optimizing your pc to work with DaVinci. Let me find a link. One sec.

@@CBSuper Thank you, sir! His channel has videos that answered my question. Looks like I'll have to save up if I want to become a serious editor!
Cheerio!
Ahhhhh so much learn
So much!
That's a lot of masking. I was always curious what the ranges and wand would do and when to use them. Think i had tried them out but was not really sure what was going on. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! It's a pretty lengthy video, but it's tough to get everything into one video so this is just the basics.
When can we expect the rotoscope tut?? Looking forward to it!!
Its in the works. Trying to work on that one this week.
I'm trying to figure out how to do a basic animated matte. Can someone tell me how to delete dots? I'm using the curve selector and I can add dots as needed but I can't figure out how to remove them... Can someone advise me?
The square with the x in the options at the top of the viewer will delete points. You can also use the Delete key (mac).
Did you learn all this from the manual? Very impressed by your mastery of this
I learned some from the manual, some from old Fusion videos before it was integrated into DaVinci. The manual is a great resource though.
That thumbnail though 😂😂😂
.
Clicked on the video just to mention it...
Haha
Hey great tutorials, did you make the animated intro tile in red/white, if so could you show us how to create that?
I used this template for thumbnails that i made and just animated the masks and text around. czcams.com/video/la8zhsgPlOU/video.html I can look into making a video on how to do this.
CB Super that would be a great video for us beginners, keep up the great content, thanks again
Hello, thanks for your always interesting tutorials, I ask you a question, but it is possible that if I import a 1080x1920 (vertical) photo into the edit page I have to set the alpha channel every time to puncture the black on the sides or there is a setting that does it automatically?
Thanks!
Yes, Check out this video around the 2:15 mark or so. czcams.com/video/UNzhVO6LPbA/video.html
@@CBSuper thanks, but is there a setting that in edit page by putting a 1080x1920 photo directly holes in black?
I think i misunderstood the original question. Are you looking for an edit tab setting so when you bring in a 1080x1930 vertical image, it places that image in the center but allows you to place footage in the background where those black-bars are usually sitting?
@@CBSuper exactly,
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
thanks!
Hi CB. I'm using Resolve 17 and my footage is old B&W silent film that has a much smaller frame size. Is it possible to use the rectangular mask to enlarge the image to full frame? My image still has a black border. Thanks!
Yes, but probably will have to size the video up using either the translation or size features. Depending on the desired final output, you may have to shave off some of the video using a mask. If you size the video up, the resolution increase may make the image soft, but its common to size up 720p to 1080p etc.
Hi CB Super, how do I resize the rectangle mask, lets say, I want to grab the right side of the rectangle and drag it, without the left side changing the size?
The Rectangle Mask can only be manipulated uniformly. You'll need to use a Polygon mask to move only one side. You can drop a polygon down and then right click into it and convert it to a Rectangle...then you can move one side by it's self. The process is illustrated in this video below...just use Rectangle instead of Ellipse. czcams.com/video/5-JAfairoaw/video.html
@@CBSuper CB Super, thank you for the great answer and the link.
when i mask my green screen the background turns black, and i did the same thing as you in the polygon mask part. Is it because there is nothing around my green screen? since i used delta keyer to remove the green, but then when i want to take out a certain part in my green screen it doesn't work..
Already got ya on Discord, but if anyone else has this issue, use the Garbage mask in the delta keyer so it will mask out all the stuff you dont want to be involved in the keyer. You are masking out the part that you want keyed out so the keyers doesnt know what color you want to key out. Garbage mask solves that issue in most cases.
remember "command" key is the "ctrl" key for windows
very true, i often forget to say both commant/ctrl key for both mac and pc users.
I've wondered if there a way, when drawing a single shape (e.g. a line) using a polygon node, to have different parts of the line be different colors? e.g. a rectangle with the vertical side colored blue, and the horizontal sides colored red? The reason I’d want it done as a single polygon node is so that I can use the write-on effect to make this square appear, where different parts of the square are of different colors. I realise the multi-color effect can be achieved by having multiple polygon nodes, each of different color, and masking out the colors that don’t apply - but it makes it difficult to achieve the write-on effect.
RT i would use a polygon over a colored backround or image. The mask would reveal the colors however you set it up. You could use a fourcolor gradient, plasma node, or just create a background using a paint node and paint the specific colors you want to reveal. Or you could go the other way around and simply animate the color of your BG using keyframes, but I think that way depends on your specific animation and the size of and speed of your mask animation. Both ways work, but using a paint node to paint a blank bg will probably give the best results.
@@CBSuper Thanks. I spent a few minutes tinkering and got it to work. I really appreciate the efforts you put into teaching us these principles! A year ago, Fusion felt to me like like a maze of confusion, but slowly the pieces are coming together, entirely because of the generosity of people like yourself and others who make these tutorials.
You bet!
we have the same mask from venice
oh nice, this was just an image I found, but thought it looked cool. Wish I had one myself.
I would like to know, how to create a mask for a layer in the timeline? Just as known from Aftereffects. I can't see any layers in fusion. Strangely nobody covers this topic in a tutorial. Thanks...
Try this. Its not exactly what your looking for, but if you want to mask from the edit page and not in the color or fusion page, you’ll need to set it up a little first. czcams.com/video/qxb4TcOBbpQ/video.html
When I open up nodes in the Colors channel, my image doesn't show up at all, and the circle mask I am trying to apply is completely ineffective. When I'm in Fusions, I also cannot see my images and I am unable to edit anything.
I think I am using Resolve 15.
I would start here if you are new to fusion. czcams.com/video/uuJsJV82cCk/video.html
Wand tool needs option to lock that colour in one moment to whole clip without animation.
I agree, I'm sure the Wand tool has some other uses, but I really don't use it much. Every time I try it, it flickers pretty bad since it doesn't handle shadows and bright areas of the same color very well.
Coming from a AE background I must admit that masking in fusion is quite disappointing.
Nice tutorial BTW, I like how you explained everything from the basics.
I came from AE but then switched to Nuke in college. That made it easier. Fusion masking seems crazy at first. Still not a huge fan of it for roto, but it definitely gets better. If i need to do something quick, I’ll use AE. I like Fusion for complex shots that need lots of precomp stuff. Still use nuke for most 3d compositing although I have been using Fusion for adding vfx to renders.
@@CBSuper it's just that fusion has many tools that end up being useless as you said in the video. I think I don't like its keyframing workflow when it comes to roto. I'm one of the people trying to switch from Adobe, and loved resolve so far. It's just fusion. I mean, I don't mind nodes, they are great, but it has crashed more on me than AE. Anyway, I'm suscribing to learn more.
I'm having a problem with the "Mask Paint" section...I've followed you to the T and I'm not getting anything when I attempt to paint. Nothing is appearing and nothing seems to be affected.
I just double checked and the Mask Paint is working correctly. Make sure your Mask Paint node is plugged into a Effect Mask input on your node that you are masking. Also make sure your stroke duration covers the desired amount of frames you want to the mask to be effective.
@@CBSuper Looks like it was just a resolve glitch. I was able to open it back up and not only did it work just fine...but when I open the file I had saved for working through your video...the scribble I made with the Mask Paint tool (that I never say before)...was visible...lol. I literally saved the junk and didn't even know it, because it never showed up on my screen. I've notice that Resolve gets funky sometimes, but if I reload...it's always fine.
Thanks for the reply...and the FANTASTIC video!
Didn't get anything. Just wanted to simply overlay a part of a clip over an image. This is a way too complicated tutorial for me.
Can you please make a simple tutorial for beginners, which is only max 5 minutes long?
Try this one. czcams.com/video/kmfjITxh1sg/video.html Made this video a while ago. You can either watch the first half or the second half and that will be about 5 minutes. The first half is how to do it in the Color Page, the second half is how to do it in Fusion.
Pls talk slowly and show the icons using. Beginners need more help...thanks.
Will try. Sometimes i forget, but i’ll work on that.
