Bro, this is a game changer. and such a short video for the number of concepts you covered.

[@JBroadway]

Bro I hope you keep making these tutorials, they're so good

[@TransformXRED]

This makes so much sense! We always stick with the first track, and instead of fighting with it and trying to make work it at all cost ( mostly time), why not use a second one to refine it. These "outside the box" thinking type of tutorials is what was missing on Fusion IMO.

Stacking trackers is really clever.

These advanced VFX tutorials for Fusion are so necessary! Thank you! There's almost nobody else doing these

[@robzdrone9599]

Your explaination style is perfect. No non-sense! Awesome tutorial

[@OwnerOfTheCosmos]

100% true. - And my mind was blown when he just used a tracker on the already (mostly) stabilized situation. I keep underestimating DaVinci Resolve.

This is one of the best advanced tracking tutorials I've seen! Could you show other work arounds for when you get a bad track?

[@ojdesignmotion1589]

Your tuts are so advanced! Much appreciated, a lot!

[@andyherle]

Just wanted to say I was here for the start, you’re doing an amazing job making advanced fusion more accessible to everyone. I can’t wait for the future of this channel 💪

[@TheStooStoo]

Ahhhh.. No annoying intro or music! Super easy to follow and learn! Thanks allot!!

[@Vosper808]

Thanks for doing some much needed every day Nuke/Flame VFX workflows in Fusion! So needed! Ideas for other tutorials: your approach to keys pixel spread/edge extend, more camera projection examples, tracked warping or morphing, wire or object removal, realistic matte painting with 3D engine for parallax, dealing with importing 3d FBX camera to additionally match move comp’d vfx elements ontop of 3d renders… or to fix 3d render issues in “post” like relighting…

[@WellMadeMedia]

you're work are absolutely amazing. I spend a bunch of hours trying to find the right stuff for me. I would like to see a full course , from the basics of the panels, to the advanced tasks. I think you should make one course with payments. I think i'm not the only one is going to pay it. Keep doing!

Your tutorials are the BOMB! (no pun intended with the briefcase)

[@fusion_brew]

Boom! Thanks mate! 😄

[@yomarcelojeje]

oh, dude! your channel is new! Great content. Keep it up. In my case, what I've done is to put myself on copy mode and just mimic what you do without knowing what I'm doing. If you see somewhere in the future a video where you also get to explain what does it do to connect that node with that other node, aka, some explanation of the "under the hood" workflow, that too would be unique and great content

Thanks for watching!

[@millolab]

Hey man, this is a nice one! Only thing you’re not taking transform concatenation into consideration. You don’t want to stabilize the whole plate, but just the patch (in this case the text) and merge it over the original. You’re applying filtering three times here, hence the plate at the end of your comp has lost quite a lot of detail.

[@fusion_brew]

Thanks man! 😄 You are absolutely correct! But was it three times? I figured only two times, essentially one filtering per planar tracker node in this case, but maybe I’m wrong 😅 Concatenation and all it’s intricasies, if, when and why to use flatten transform and such would make for a short and sweet, (and important) tutorial sometime! Would love to see you break all of this down in a video!

[@millolab]

@@fusion_brew you’re right. It’s 2 times. I also took into consideration the 2D track

[@fusion_brew]

@@millolab Ah, I see. The merging mode on the point tracker was set to FG only, so I didn’t think it should affect the background to my knowledge 😅

[@millolab]

@@fusion_brew correct it doesn’t. My mistake.

[@fusion_brew]

@@millolab No worries man! Next time I’ll take concatenation into account, thanks for pointing it out! 😄

[@fusion_brew]

Thanks for watching!

[@stucooke3983]

Thank you! Breath of fresh air in the fusion on youtube space. Really appreciate your time and easy to follow instruction. Subbed! When you add the extra trackers to the planar tracker, what is happening? Are you adding additional tracking data for fusion to calculate? What is the benefit of doing so and how does that work?

[@fusion_brew]

@@stucooke3983 Great question. So the planar tracker warps whatever happens downstream of itself, and then the copied planar tracker with the «inverted» checkbox checked, unwarps whatever is upstream, so that the footage itself returns to normal. But anything that is between the two planar trackers, is being warped/stablizied as a result. So A: The basic point trackers get an easier track, assisted by the planar tracker stabilizing the footage. B: whatever you are sticking to the footage gets it’s position, scale and rotation from the trackers, as well as the warping from the planar tracker. So you get the advantage of both trackers in one. Does this make sense?

[@stucooke3983]

@@fusion_brew I think so! I see - so basically, you are using the tracking within the steady footage to ensure whatever you pin to that plane is pinned down to exactly where it should be in that steadied version of the larger image? That makes a ton of sense thank you!

[@kakapictures]

[@StephenBanana]

On a similar topic, how do you handle tracking objects that planar has a hard time handling? For example, in this shot, you have a scooter. If the scooter is moving around, the planar tracker can have a hard time. The point tracker might do a great job but you lose out on a lot of options related to translation. Is there a way to use the a combination of tracks within the point tracker to mimic some of those functions?

[@smepable]

Wow, this and the Head Tracking tutorial are extremely good. Just how did you learn this? Fusions logic what does what to what is extremely unintuitive.

[@stefanocson6237]

great

[@aquature7]

Im new in the film and edditing space and this is amazing and seems like easy to learn how you brought it. Any advise for someone willing to put the work and time to learn davinciresolve? Thanks

[@fusion_brew]

@@aquature7 Learn by doing is my favorite, but you can’t go wrong with watching tutorials either. 😄 The DaVinci Resolve subreddit is also a great place to visit!

[@visionaryfilms]

how would you do two video clips instead of fonts. i need to figure out how you track two video clips. everyone keeps doing fonts, I need to figure out two video clips, one clip is my back plate and the other clip has the visual effects on it from Big films and need to learn how you track on object on to my back plate the one that doesn't have the visual effects.

[@WellMadeMedia]

Can i ask you how to learn how to do realistic dissolve effect and morphing people to object to davinci or that stuff is more useful to do with after effect?

[@rodrigomacias]

you're the fucking boss! thank you

[@stefanvandermerwe3968]

[@DonnelJalar]

what if the person stopped moved towards the camera at some point, and then bent a little or moved back? thats something else. Every video on tracking only talks about how to track an object in a static movement like from the left to the right, which is more simpler to track, can you make a video of how to do this advanced tracking?

😍

[@yesyesyesnoooo7762]

What if the video I'm tracking is low quality, would the planar tracker still work?

[@laio1919]

[@GZYiHao]

What advantage does this way have over mesh tracking?

[@coin777]

I think none

[@TransformXRED]

Not every single objects can be tracked the same tools and give good results. He's showing you a technique that can be used when other fails. Or for more difficult situations He doesn't teach you about how to put text on a bag, but a technique to nail a track 99% of time On top of that... The surface tracker is to track a moving surface that is deforming. L

[@GZYiHao]

@@TransformXRED Well this particular example wasn't the best then. Because mesh tracking could highly probably do the job fine without unnecessary complication.

[@TransformXRED]

@@GZYiHao BTW, I was mostly replying to the person who responded with "none" - and for the general sentiment of the first commenter. Yes, we can do the same things with many different tools. ----- What's "the best" in your opinion? I see an object moving along the X/Y/Z axis with changing lighting conditions. There have been so many times where I couldn’t track even the simplest object in a video - too many to count. Why? Because of noise, poor detail to lock onto, reflections, changing lights, etc. So, I think this is actually a great example. We can do the same job in many different ways with Fusion. You could even make something stick with just three regular point trackers. The "surface" tracker is designed for deforming surfaces. You can adjust the rigidity of the generated mesh to minimize deformation, though it still might deform a little. And the risk is there. So you're using a tool that can work, with then you'll have to "fight" with it when it doesn't. The planar tracker is designed to track... planes. The tool is meant to stick to flat surfaces (when it works, depending on the footage, of course), but it can also be used for tracking objects that aren't flat. I use it all the time, mostly to aggressively stabilize something or when point trackers just don’t work. But I’m aware of its strengths and its limitations, so I use it accordingly. The regular tracker, well, it tracks points. In some cases, it works perfectly alone; in others, it’s unusable. The intellitracter is "Studio" only - And isn't the Surface Tracker only a Studio feature too? - So in this case, another reason why the tutorial makes even more sense. The users of the free version can nail a track with two basic trackers combined, and have a very flexible Flow ;) *As I said, the goal of the tutorial isn’t to place text on a bag, but to teach techniques that help you nail a perfect track AND give you the flexibility to do whatever else you want since each element in the flow is separate. Here, for example, we can easily reuse the track data from both the planar tracker and point trackers.* It’s the first time I’ve seen someone demonstrate how to combine two trackers like this. That’s what makes it interesting. We often get stuck with Fusion and forget that we can build a "better tool" by combining different "basic" nodes.

Fusion Studio is pretty much the same as the Fusion tab in Resolve Studio. And the free version has these regular trackers. (But not the Intellitracker) And anyone can use Fusion Studio if they have a license for Resolve Studio anyway
