This is an awesome feature and well done tutorial. The only thing I complain about is you're not mentioning this feature is only available in the studio (paid) version. Because davinci resolve is such a great piece of software and offers so much more in the free version than any other free video editor I know many of us users are drooling when watching this and then are heavily disappointed finally realizing it is not in our free version. Please don't write only "Davinci Resolve" but add that "Studio" as well when treating features of the studio version which aren't in the free version. And eventually mentioning in the intro you're coping are feature of the paid version wouldn't hurt. Thanks a lot for all your work and tutorials and keep up the great work.

Nice. Can you put video objects in the 3D scene? If so, any thoughts on how you could align two camera motions?

Video objects like something from a green screen or rotoscoped out? Definitely! Instead of creating a world just add that media instead. But also, you would have to shoot a video object correctly to make it fit with the scene.

[@seanhayes2998]

@@JamieFenn Yes. what I'm thinking is taking two shots where a camera moves around a person. Let's say for simplicity a circular orbit pointing at the centre, but one at say 5x the radius of the other so the person at the centre appears shrunken. Then somehow place the smaller one in the larger to get a "fairy on an open palm" type of shot.

Id have to open up my project and see what youre talking about. This is a bit of an advanced question to answer just on the comments section of the video.

[@SamMansfield91]

Decent solve error but that track is shaky as hell?!

[@JamieFenn]

Yea I think its because the camera movement was a little shaky. I realized I didn't have hypersmooth on just he regular stabilization. That could be the culprit.

[@SamMansfield91]

@@JamieFenn Ahh just so you know, you don't want stabilization on when doing a camera track, this may actually explain it, you would be better to have used a gimbal. I have tried to track shots stabilized by the camera's built in features and its nightmare, even using Syntheyes (something to do with the way the stabilization warps the image slightly). You also don't particularly need a smooth motion shot, as long as the motion blur is kept to a minimum. Great tutorial though :)

[@JamieFenn]

Good to know. I was wearing a gopro on my head and the distortion is pretty recognizable so one thing you could do is lens distort (by eye) inside fusion before you track, and then apply that as well before the output. I think that may work a little better not sure. I think it would take a lot of trial and error. With that said, I don't think a lot of people have a gimbal so I tried to taylor this to as many people as possible. I should have tried different types of stabilization effects. If you watch till the end, there's another shot that I used using my GH5 and 11-16 tokina, the IBIS honestly didn't work so well with the track, and the reason I didn't use that clip for the example is because it didn't really show the 3d objects in a 3d environment. Thanks for the kind words though!

[@SamMansfield91]

​@@JamieFenn You would FOR SURE want to correct lens distortion before doing a track of an action camera, I am almost 100% sure that's the issue actually! Software like Syntheyes has built in distortion correction for all sorts of cameras because with the natural distortion its impossible too get an accurate track.
