Awesome Freeze-Frame Callout GFX in Resolve 17! - Advanced Fusion Motion Graphics Tutorial

[@properprinting]

I wanted to make this exact effect and your video just popped up on my feed without searching for it. Perfect timing, thanks!

[@wishcloudstudios]

Ok "The Ryan Reynolds of video editing." You earned my subscription. 😉

[@robforbes123]

My editing skills are definitely improving from your short tutorials. Your tutorial videos are also getting better. Thanks for your generous sharing of knowledge.

[@zorrothebug]

That's some great stuff in here. Matte-Control, Stroke animation, splitting background from object, node organisation, why renaming nodes is important (in spline panel), etc. etc. That's saved in my Davinci resolve playlist! Thank you ❤️

[@CaseyFaris]

Thanks!

[@SpaceAgeConsulting]

You make it seem so easy and yet just knowing all the different nodes and when to use them seems incredible complex. Like you said in another video, it's like learning another language.

[@Magnetar47]

I'm just a guy who, once in a while, puts a bunch of clips together, cuts long pauses, etc. and produces a basic watchable video. My greed to learn more about Resolve's colour correction and fusion made me come to your channel, and boy do I rejoice in that greed... :) Learning can be tremendously fun, and this is the proof! *chef's kiss*

[@adamschaafsma5839]

So just 54 secs in and I got the freeze frame information I have been wondering about all day. You're just a good teacher. So many videos to watch...

[@AdrenalineJackie]

CONGRATS on 200k!! I share your videos whenever I can. You really deserve a big following. Thanks for all of the free help with Davinci Resolve 17!!

[@GeologyUpSkill]

I was about to start a project involving an animated arrow and your video came up in the sidebar. Spooky KZbin algorithm knows what you are thinking!

[@Jordatech]

Thank you for introducing me to the existence of the spline panel I will now be using that with animations in the future really appreciate it!

[@firesightstudios5823]

Casey - your videos have been a great help in developing me into a better editor. I am thankful for that. I was having a lot of trouble understanding the Matte control but its starting to make sense. Keep up the good work!

[@DrizzyDreDaSlayer]

Bro the way you showed how to do that was much easier than alot of people that tried to show that.....you have good teaching skills....you made it seem less complicated and now that helps me for creating other effects thank u

[@MFoster392]

I've watched almost all your videos in the past few weeks. I'm learning so much from them

[@ThatsNotDave]

Still amazed that apparently everything I procrastinate learning about for current projects keeps showing up here at just the right time.

[@IzanSoria]

Love this Casey, it's a great tutorial! Btw... I had a déjà vu at 6:45! hahah

[@ccoddes]

I'm moving from Premiere to Resolve and I have to thank you for this video. It basically taught me how to get going with Fusion with some of the common basics. I also like how you explain "why" you do things after every "what", which helps in the understanding. Amazing content!

[@blipvfx]

WHY?!? Premiere is the best I only use resolve cos I don’t have premiere lmao

[@gavinleighton]

Thanks!

[@dovim157]

WOW WHAT A VIDEO!! So glad I was able to follow along till the very end, all thanks to you pal

[@smart_erklaert]

Great effect. Thank you! I have an question: Isn't it easier for the yellow outline instead of creating a Paint node to Just uncheck the "solid-checkbox" in the polygon-node and animate the polygon-length? Please Tell me the pros of your way to do it. Thank you!!

[@Clickumentary]

Great one Casey. Not just the effect but lots of nice organization tips. Saved this is my double secret fusion list! 😎

[@k2OS]

I know this is an older video and maybe something has changed, but instead of using the paint node to animate the border, if you untick 'solid' on the PersonMask_Ply_1, you should get the option to animate the length of the border directly on that polygon mask.. at least that's how I somehow came to do something similar for some small introes I needed to do :)

[@ten27productions85]

Great tip! Worked great for me, thank you!

[@realouellette-padrereal]

thank you so much... I tested it, following (play/pause) every instruction, just for the fun of it, and it's very cool... thanks again !!

[@Chadislav]

Thanks to that, I can introduce people like that in my videos. Big gratitude ✌️

[@RegularDuck79]

Thank you so much for this turorial. There were a lot of things at once, but I can just watch it again and again.

[@RegularDuck79]

And again.

[@gregoryjamesboyce]

Zoweeee, to unpack this I'll need to retime my afternoon.

[@utac]

STOP IT. Just… STOP IT, Casey. Okay, don’t stop. Please continue. Because…. SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

[@benfolts5213]

Finally a dip into the spline panel. Thank you!

[@tolstoidomar]

i will make me spend two afternoons mastering this. And i'm happy about that. Thank you ! i have seen enough to subscribe i think.

[@calapurka]

Dude, Im just starting to use Resolve and 've been watching your tutorials, the way you explain everything is amazing. I've learned a lot! even though sometimes I can't comprehend the whole thing haha. Thank you!

[@8bitMAG]

New to DaVinci Resolve and I absolutely LOVE your videos!! You explain everything so well! Thank you!

[@JeremyChone]

Awesome fast pace tutorial. In the spline editor, is there a shortcut to put the play head at the start? I always have to drag the red play head which is cumbersome.

[@hawaiianhaole]

Thanks for this one, it was fun! I always save these so I can look back at my Fusion node graph and remember how to do things I don't do often.

[@simonswiss]

Whoaaa this was an amazing introduction to Fusion for me 🙌 Definitely need to learn some more basic stuff, but seeing it how it all gets pieced together like that was amazing - thank you!🙏

[@clipc5652]

I'm no pro. I just wanted to make videos of our sport trainings and travels. I am only using free version and dang I always learn because of Casey. Thank you always!! I'm curious though if davinci free can do insert flying sea creatures in video clips? Or make someone a Predator?? Like in after effects (If I'm not mistaken)?

[@CallMeHarris]

Tons of great stuff in here -- thank you Casey. You are at the top of your game on this one!!

[@mad_stache]

I recently made a freeze frame video with call outs. This would have made things a lot easier. I ended up doing a couple fusion clips over the original footage. This required moving things, then looking at the full footage and repeat until it did what I wanted since I was not able to see the original footage while working on the fusion clip. Thanks for everything that you do as I learn a lot from your videos.

[@EtherealProject3D]

You are the Jedi Master of Resolve

[@konrad.wilhelm.kleine]

Thanks Casey for this video. I promised my parents to make a birthday video for a friend during the pandemic. I was originally looking for an effect similar to the one in the movie snatch. This was my first encounter with Resolve and I managed to follow along very well. I only had problems picking those nasty end keyframes in the spline editor ;) . I also did add a blur node before the color correction of the background because obviously my hobby footage was much less professionally looking and I needed the person to stand out even more. Thank you thank you thank you!❤

[@richardsnow170]

I followed all steps until 3:45 but for some reason on the first viewer I dont see the man in front of the transparent background. I just see the transparent background and my nodes look identical. if i view the polygon I just see the traced outline of the person. Is there something I haven't checked? PLEASE HELP

[@criptosauro4587]

Nice tutorial. Just to know.. to make the animation of the stroke 7:48 . Isn't it easier to use the Length control in the poligon node? Is that different in any way?

[@JorgeBravoPratscher]

just wow! thanks Casey.... I've been looking for this tutorial for a while. You defo make it sound easy to do, but it'll take me a bit to get use to the flow of actions and get it right. Thanks again

[@ten27productions85]

I just learned more from this tutorial than every fusion tutorial ever. Can you do this again please with Resolve?

[@mehmetnastradin7778]

Thank you so much for that great content and your sense of humor👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@juancarlos-arciniega]

I'm new to this video editing.. And you have a good way and simple to explain every step... You Rock @casey faris!!

[@randyburleson]

Casey, is there a way to use the “Magic Mask” from the color page in fusion? Seems like that would make masking easier.

[@JoeVazquezProductorMusical]

Always learning about Fusion with Casey, man you are awesome. Great tutorial. Have a good one.

[@jadefinchscene5644]

another awesome walkthrough. the ideas are exploding in my head. thank you so much.

[@rakhunproductions]

after the last video I thought I was starting to get fusion/nodes but wow do I have a lot to learn. thanks for your great videos buddy

[@Like.swoosh]

fusion is really challenging

[@Zeisslermusic]

You make my Day with this videos, now i Can start making videos in DaVinci 17 🇩🇰

[@HUSHHUSH-]

Brilliant 🤩. Can be used so effectively for introducing characters!!!

[@GeezeMorgan]

Wow, I learnt so many different things from this!

[@eriksogge6081]

Takk!

[@CaseyFaris]

Thanks so much!

[@briantierney6992]

Thanks Casey. More of these please :)

[@akashshenoy9606]

Bruhhh...I needed this! And you posted and it at the exact right time! Thank you😭😭

[@MohMed-cx2bl]

yes a video about all the tools and settings and how they are used will be great

[@joemehere1151]

Very nice Casey! Thanks

[@MarkusSchiller]

Great video, it reminds me somehow on the intro of Brooklyn 99. It's just crazy what you can do with Davinci Resolve

[@DuckyRides]

You sir, just got yourself a new subscriber!

[@АнтонСавичев-й3р]

This is highly useful. Thank you Casey!

[@stewwilson1212]

Casey - thank you so much. I've been waiting for this one!

[@VINISAMPLES]

Hey man, how would you go about masking the portion between his arm and his shirt? I'm making another polygon but since it's in the area covered by the first one, nothing's happening.

[@CaseyFaris]

Yeah you have to connect the mask to the first mask and set the combine mode to subtract

[@EricDubeau]

Hey Casey, doing a great job, learning because of you and your team!! So Thanks. Looking to purchase your big kit at 299$US for full training... looks complete. Quick question with this video. Using DR 17 and clicking right to get retime control... it's not available as an option, Bummer??

[@petermclennan6781]

I actually understood some of that! :) Casey could you please list your hardware specs? Your system is amazingly responsive.

[@wildzenventures]

You teach us the coolest things! 😜

[@Altek2k]

This video is absolutely amazing! Thankyou for sharing.

[@EricTitterud]

Love the content but the speed is crazy for anything other than an ideal set up (i.e. having youtube on alt tab from dvr as opposed to a second screen on a device)

[@KosFishingTeam]

17 minutes for 1 second footage! I love editing 😂

[@asphaltandtacos]

The outline stroke was the tricky part for me. One question though. I noticed that you did not make an instance of the polygon mask. Is there a specific reason for this?

[@zegreznidi2922]

6:42 Casey did a whoopsie Love your vids!

[@IAmNotSnowcat]

This is amazing!! I'd highly doubt I'll ever need to make this but I would totally love to

[@אמירערן]

I draw a line around my object and its didnt cut him, its took just the shape of the cutting and a black image. I did exactly step by step. Do you know why?

[@EricTitterud]

When I do a freeze frame in the time controls, it lengthens the clip I am in as expected, but in doing so it writes over the next clip in the timeline rather than pushing it forward. I've worked around this by going to the next clip, selecting everything from there on, and pushing it forward by 4 seconds, then doing my freeze frame, then pulling all the previously moved clips back into alignment, but that seems like it's pretty inefficient. Plus, when I forget to do that, if I have to fix the overwrite, I have to pull-trim the footage of the next clip so it matches the last frame of the time-tooled/freeze-framed clip and that's not always smooth. Is there a way for the time tool freeze frame to automatically push all following footage forward?

[@datadesign5260]

Never used Resolve, but I like your videos.

[@RegularDuck79]

Hey, How would you mask a person when the camera is moving or the person is moving? By that I mean how would you keep the person masked so you can change the background color without it messing up the mask?

[@richarddow8967]

freaking awesome, thanks for sharing the knowledge!

[@haileylandeen9191]

how do you get it to show an invisible background? mine shows a green outline around the person but still the picture background

[@khaizhafri5128]

can i ask why when i put merge 2 and see media out the object is gone just the masking and background is still there?

[@brentonchong6694]

how can i do the opposite? im shooting a wedding and i want to freeze the background and have just the foreground/bride & groom keep dancing. help?

[@jakerami9595]

Hi Casey is there a simpler way to create the stroke around whatever I mask?

[@anthminimal]

Great tutorial, thanks so much for this tutorial and all your other ones i've used! Aamzing work brother (Ps. a little confusing at one point, had to use my intuition but i got there :D)

[@dwiezyrafki2214]

Is it possible to save this nodes scheme as a preset or something? I have to make intro of 4 people in 1 video. It would be faster to have it in my bin maybe? Sorry for my poor English ;)

[@WarwickMerry]

Awesome. Just what I needed

[@tee_ef_em]

Great videos, man! Subbed!

[@theancientvoice9272]

Thanks for the great content! Really useful... I guess it would be nice to know how to make fusion tamplates or plugins out of these, so that it can be re-used easily.

[@takedowngaming9958]

I always wondered how to mask a video without masking the Media In

[@ashishjatiani3356]

Amazing! We need more of these so that we can completely dump After effects 🔥🔥

[@prenzilaabreu3156]

it's not coming for me.. can I get help my merge 2 is showing the stroke but not my median out

[@leachimusable]

Awesome! Can i have this project as download?

[@photojoseph]

So good… thank you!!

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

Casey, your stuff is always great. BTW--do you have the Speed Editor? If so, could you do some post using it. Thanks, Chuck (NE Florida) : +)

[@guich.mp4]

Hey Casey , can you tell me what specs do you have on your computer to make davinci run smoothly ?

[@vancouverpoy]

after making the mask and border thickness i press media out 1 and number 2 but it just makes the view screen dissapear. help?

[@chaosmatters]

love ur vid man help me a lot on editing on gameplay video

[@47VenomGaming]

Hey Casey you’ve been helping me out with daVinci a lot thank you I’m trying to figure out how to make tracers or trails that would follow my hand do you think you can find a way to do that?

[@freak49]

There will be a test on all this tomorrow morning.

[@JayRH01]

I Love This and I Love You Too!!! Thanks Brother!!!!

[@chaoticneutral1090]

i accidently finished the mask before i closed it and now i cannot make new points without creating a new mask. ive done it again now but how do i avoid redoing a mask if i accidentally click out of it?

[@mitja996]

Thats just crazy 🙏

[@jonan.gueorguiev]

Man, you're good!!
