How to Composite a Sling Ring Portal in Davinci Resolve 17 | Doctor Strange VFX Tutorial Part 2

[@SpeedRacerx89]

I’ve been wanting to learn Davinci and came across this video while working on the Dr. Strange Portal. This video ended up being a MasterClass for Davinci and is exactly what I need! This video should have WAY more views! Great teacher here!

So, Fusion is very particular with the in and out points of the source media that you're using. If your original footage (green screen or whatever the base footage is) is a different length or using a different section of the footage than the outside and inside footage, then it probably won't work immediately. It's still there, but they just aren't lining up. For example, if your base footage was 15 seconds long, but you created your Fusion clip with the last 5 seconds of it and your background clips are only five seconds long, Fusion will by default line them up with the first five seconds of your base footage, which you aren't using. If this is the case, open up the keyframe editor by clicking the Keyframes button in the top right and check that your clips are all lining up. You may have to mess around with the start and offset points in the MediaIn nodes for your background clips as well. I honestly don't understand how they work, but you should be able to get it working that way. If it still doesn't work after that, there may be some deeper issue. In my testing, I did run into a weird problem one time where a certain clip wasn't working no matter what I did. I just had to redo the entire setup to get it to work, but hopefully that's not the case here. Good luck!
