didn't dissolve , had the particles but didn't dissolve , also when we went onto clip 2 , I highlighted the clip in the edit but when in fusion the old one was still there so I pulled the fusion clip 2 from the media and followed your instructions ( although the other nodes were still present) and when you say save , do you mean go to file and save as I cannot see what you are doing ?

Hi Jay! Great stuff! I tried this one though and could not seem to get it right. Got to the part with the particle mask and that was great. Then went on to clip 2 and it already had the particle mask applied. I tried a few different things to make the 2nd clip come out with no nodes but it would not work. Any Advice?

I'd I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds like instead of copying the original clip, you copied the Fusion clip with the particle dissolve.

@@JayLippman hi Jay. I copied the original clip. Just like you did. Then clicked on the top copy and added the particles. Clicked save, then went on to clip 2 or 1. Clicked on it and when I went to the fusion page, the node tree I had applied to clip one was already there. I deleted it and it deleted it from both.

Hi Jay. Thx for the video. Nice with some basic tutorials for us with little time (and skills 😝).

Hi Jay thanks for the amazing tutorial you da best man I'm just curious as to what are the specs of your laptop; fusion seems to be pretty terrible at efficient RAM usage, my system hit 22GB (out of 32) of system memory usage when using this particle dissolve effect on 5 second still 1080p footage.

[@JayLippman]

Yeah fusion is pretty heavy, especially in the free version of Davinci Resolve. The paid version installs a driver that allows for better balance between CPU and GPU. My laptop definitely isnt the best. I've overloaded my GPU a few times.

You can draw a circle mask right where the particles are coming from and expand the mask as it continues, then invert the mask

You can also draw a circle mask covering your character and contracting the mask as it continues

Hi, this tutorial is awesome! However, I am experiencing a problem with it. Maybe you have a solution? So the problem is that when I edit Fusion clip 1, Fusion clip 2 copies all the edits. Same the other way around. I can't do the two independent edits because the clips copy the edit of the other. Keep up the good work, and I hope you might have the solution.

I'm not sure why it's not working. Are you using a master timeline? If so, that might be the problem.

How many times did you have to chase Marty out of the empty scene? lol Speaking of which, for your empty scene, can you just use a still? Or do you have to record an empty space for the entire duration of your effect?

Marty was actually very well behaved for this lol. I prefer to film the blank plate instead of taking a photo. That way the resolution is the same, and I don't have to bother with cropping anything or re sizing. Plus, it just looks more natural that way.

[@TheNewton]

So many tuts on this though I've yet to see anyone work out a reliable way to give it depth so the subject being dissolved isn't just some two dimensional surface

[@JayLippman]

There's a way to do this so it looks more 3D. This was meant to be a starting point.

[@TheNewton]

​@@JayLippman Yes for a starting it point it is good. I've toyed with displacements, duplicate layers, cutouts, etc but all seem to get subpar results? Well subpar vs the most important factor for me: time investment. Bit of a creators curse problem though as I'm comparing this to what a full process is capable IF you have a 3D model base and use something like houdini to quite *literally* simulate disintegrating the subject.

[@JayLippman]

There is a great tutorial by VFX Study (I think that's the channels name) that shows you how to do this in a 3D space that might give you the look you're going for.

[@TheNewton]

​@@JayLippman Yup that's his "Thanos" version talked to him about it too when that tut came out. A prospect to what i'm researching is a great post over at wesuckless forums: "3D Face Morph Rig Prototype" by intelligent machine. That technique uses a 3D "mannequin" with a depth ?channel? to create 2.5D parallax for human faces from 2D photos similar to what a commercial after effects plugin does. ( So i'm not linking in your channel here's the viewtopic queries ?p=18669#p18669 . There is a demo fusion comp in the '3d face generation' thread ?p=16499#p16499 . )

[@antonioPaulino]

This is a great tutorial, BUT whilst I appreciate you teaching us these great things I'm wondering if this dissolving effect can be tweaked so that on body parts that are not there anymore the dissolving should disappear or stop?

[@JayLippman]

Yes you can tweak it that way. Like I said in the video, this is just a basic dissolve. You can use masking to make the particles disappear.
