One of the best tracking tutorials for Resolve I’ve seen.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Hi John! Maybe because most of the one's you have seen always show GOOD tracking!

[@Silieth]

That's always the problem. Tracking works fine 95% of the time and nobody talks about the other 5%. Thank you so much for the tutorial!!❤

[@ArcanePath360]

Thank you! Love your training style. Your videos are a life saver

[@James-nr9gm]

Really great way to break down a handful of different ways to track objects!

[@Lexington101]

I've been looking all over the internet and this is the first "practical" advice I found, Thank you!

[@kostaslefas5778]

It's the best tracking tutorial I've ever watched! Helped me very much with my project. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Greece

[@sky173]

Congrats on 4K followers. Definitely some of the best info on Resolve out there. Thank you for sharing.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Much appreciated! Thank you.

[@mikehall5835]

Thanks Darren for another really helpful presentation. Clean, concise delivery. Helping my understanding of DaVinci and making the whole process very enjoyable.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jeandrebadenhorst]

Fantastic tutorial. Didn't feel like a 16 minute video at all. Your presentation and the amount of information you include is spot on. Thank you!

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad it was helpful! thank you

[@chrisburks7292]

Thanks again Darren, that was once again an excellent tutorial. To the point and full of useful information that can be applied in plenty of working scenarios. Great work, keep it up!

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks Chris.

[@LeslieWorks]

I always love when people say how many subs they have and its a low number. I look down and see you have tens of thousands now and it makes me feel good

[@jamied6166]

Excellent! Very smooth delivery, nice one!

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad you think so! I enjoyed making it.

[@hoyparasiempre8362]

[@truewiking]

You open up so many possibillities here, great tutorial, Thank you

[@DarrenMostyn]

You're very welcome!

[@PeaLoop]

I'm in the early days of learning Resolve... every time I come to your channel I get gold! Also appreciate the new (to me) shortcut for 'Enhanced Viewer' (Option + F on Mac), lovely!

[@brokeforever]

Lifesaver I'm constantly amazed by how good resolve is overall compared to other editing suites.

[@peterleix]

Thanks for this, just watched several videos on tracking but yours was the only one to mention the difference between clip and frame mode and to use clips that were challenging enough to not work with just a few clicks, thank you

[@DarrenMostyn]

Exactly why I made it - glad you appreciated it.

[@willizwo8146]

Extremely helpful tutorial with some pro tips. All available thumbs up! And thanks again for your work, Darren.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks Willi

[@Genkkaku]

With the door, it's also possible to use a point tracker to track the sign and keep your matte in the original spot. I find with moving shots and the perspective not shifting as much a point tracker works wonders.

[@Jake-zc3fk]

Awesome tutorials Daren, Thanks!!

[@DarrenMostyn]

My pleasure Jake

[@BigMike246]

This video is just what I needed. Thank you.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Many thanks! Glad you like it. All the best

[@Flamamacue]

What a great tutorial. I'm not a massive user of the tracker, and when I do it mostly works how I need it to but there's always been a few things that haven't, and this clears up so much confusion about the tracker tool and so extremely well explained and executed, even down to the orange outlines showing exactly which component you're talking about. Thank you for such a well made tutorial!

[@DarrenMostyn]

You're very welcome! Glad you liked it

[@alastairpalm8150]

Amazing tutorial. Thank you Darren.

@@DarrenMostyn Done and joined your email list. Can't wait for more content from you. DAVINCI RESOLVE FTW.

[@tshansen]

You are a true Legend Darren 👏🏻 Thank you so much mate. This is by far, the best video about tracking in power windows i have seen. I encourage you to do a couple of more episodes about the tracker, I would love to see your take on the stabilizer and FX part, cloud and point track...and is it true you need to convert titles, text etc to a compund clip for it to be tracked trough the Color page? Like getting text to stick to a moving subject? Keep it up mate, this was really nice. Great job 🔥

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad you liked it. TBH - I would track text using Fusion.....its really easy - I'll do a tutorial on it once I've cleared my next few tutorials that are already planned. Thank you for your kind words! Have a good weekend.

[@markwlv]

Thanks for that one Darren!

[@TheAarondl]

Thank you I don't see anyone else teaching these sort of fundamentals, it's always this that and that and bam it works except on my end when it doesn't. No explanations on controls or whys I'll be watching more of your videos in the future👍

Welcome aboard! Thank you for the kind words. There will be a new tutorial next week.
