[@chargedcuber3567]

This man uploads every two weeks....... and it is worth the wait! Thank you so much Billy. Really needed this :P

[@BillyRybka]

haha we are trying to get back to our once a week schedule. We've had a big change in the business. So that took priority. But hopefully we can go fulltime with this channel and make more content on it!

[@chargedcuber3567]

@@BillyRybka haha no problem.....whenever you upload be it once in 2 days or once in month, it is always worth the wait! You are my favorite Davinci Resolve teacher :D

Lots offf love uu sir.....from India... Need this type of vfx in resolve... Great job... We need more.... Hats off...

[@slcreativecrafts3990]

I have learned many things about davici resolve in your channel thanx for guide me I'm from Sri Lanka❤

[@popwebmusic]

U r the best tutor ..I learnt resolve from u ..Love from india🇮🇳

[@danishsyazwi]

I'm kinda addicted with this channel. he's a real hero

[@jesussalomon3598]

I am so grateful to have found this channel. 🙏

[@venom_ftw9316]

I love this node workflow so much😭😭 Feels nice when I'm used to blender texturing

[@JochyEstrella]

When I started learning node editing In resolve I can deny after getting used to layers (hitfilm/afterfx) I was intimidated, after learning me some basic stuff and thanks to your advanced tutorials am feeling a lot more confident of the true power of nodes, in layer editing you have to bake in a lot of comps to accomplish what nodes can do without but at the same time you can pre-render/pre-comp in resolve/fusion and thats a very powerfull feature that i think everyone needs to take advantage off !

[@_bbie]

You surely know your way around of davinci resolve and fusion. Apart from your awesome tutorial, in terms of VFX, idk why i never like the final result from the software.

[@zad3_14]

Bro this guy needs more support this helped me thanks

[@BillyRybka]

Haha yes please, we need all the help we can get!

[@ONISMSTUDIOS]

I’ve been waiting for this for soo long thx sooo much

[@BillyRybka]

Haha I got you man!!!!

[@naturalwayfilms]

I was just trying to figure out how to make that effect in Davinci by watching after effect tuts. You helped me find a fast way. Still trying to figure out some other stuff.

[@Jordrvn]

I liked and subscribed even before u told to. Awesome Dude man, thanks Choom!

[@quickpickle]

Awesome tutorial.. everytime i watch a fusion tutorial im reminded how crazy difficult it is and the fact that I will probably never really learn how to use it.. 😅

[@PapaAres]

Bro, I can't thank you enough for this tutorial, you're helping me so damn much to improve with DR. Got you covered with my sub bro! You deserved it more than any other guy, my guy!

[@SHADOWBANNED1984]

You're the Davinci king! Thanks!

[@charleswragg2164]

just a little tip you should show the finished product at the end of video too. (we were all hoping for that)

[@KaceyBakerFilms]

I’m that AE guy that wants to migrate over but scared of how much work Nodes look. Just seems so busy and tangled when I don’t know it like I do AE. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@BillyRybka]

I feel you, I came from AE. Nodes are way more flexible and easier to troubleshoot actually. It's a bit intimidating until you realize that each node is essentially the same as an effect in AE. There's a course by lowepost that helped me learn a lot!

[@azkelpazkel]

You're the best at making davinci resolve tutorials :D

[@charley_films]

Billy its my first time watching you and i'm super thankful super grateful. I have one little issue, i downloaded the 'Energy Burst' effect, but can't find the way to bring it into Fusion, can you please help me with that? Much love from Germany

[@ST7GOLDTRIDENT]

Thank you so much. Just a slight adjustment to the blend and color saturation and brightness makes this effect lurk in the background and gives the shot a cinematic look. Exactly what I was looking for. 👍❤👍

[@indrekkalbus735]

I really needed that video, THANKS!!!

[@BillyRybka]

heck yeah!!!

[@SectorUrbano507]

Woooo this is another level!!!

[@1Mean9x19]

Me at the start of this video: heck yeah, my next video is going to be amazing! Me 12 minutes later: wait, what???

[@Footermanqiu]

How do you get the energy burst to appear with no background?

[@jaissemnieto9911]

Not all hero’s wear capes 🙌

[@sh0tiphone]

Can you explain more in details all theses nodes? Because I didn't understand why you should put a transforme node for subtract mask etc...

[@AnaelleEmilie-qn8rk]

Does anyone know what to do if the effect doesn't show? Ive done everything in the tutorial, I'm using the free version of the effect. But the effect isn't showing on the video.

[@xalovat_studio_tv]

I miss you teacher😊 You really knowledgeable teacher

[@TPwnn]

only issue i'm having is I can't see the energy effect after adding it in as a node

[@o.f.ftrack3444]

[@earmanet7789]

I really appreciate that! Keep doing more. One more thing Can you show me How to ColorGranding Right with Car in automotive industry .Thank You! Hope will see this lesson soon!

[@PigeoneerToy]

This is soooo cool! I mean, I'm super new to DaVince and couldn't keep track of the steps lol but that's because I've only used the nods to erase green screens. As I keep going I'm sure this will become a piece of cake. Thank you.

[@reality2626]

Billy! Love your videos man they help out a lot! I was wondering if you could make a laser eyes tutorial. That would be so cool! ❤❤

[@BillyRybka]

Thanks so much! For sure! I can do that in the future!

[@alonso4388]

Awesome work bro, I just have one question. At the beginning of the tutorial (1:24) you select tool.. is it because I'm on Mac or what's going on? I can't select tools. I'm a bit confused but the tutorial is badass!! Props to you for blessing our game like that. *insert humble hands emoji here*

[@harryvanlamoen8195]

My Question: how did you collect all this knowledge? just by trial and error about the use of all the different nodes, functions and parameters and how to put them in the right order, or did you follow some advanced Davinci course?

[@agirlnamedchiara6135]

Heyyy could u do a tutorial on how to do the Wanda maximoff energy effect?

[@stsgabe]

can you add these add-on effects to the free version of resolve?

[@videoeditoranimation1714]

Dude. I'm really having fun getting into Davinci. It's replacing all of my other apps. But I'm still not ready for nodes!

[@rayaldally9677]

Bro I love this.

[@GuanRytheFantastic]

Hey Billy, whenever I try to drag an effect I get off of one of your pages or Production Crate or any of the others, the transform node and glow node won’t join with it. I get a merge when I place it onto the node tree but when I want to add the different effects, they won’t link up. What am I doing wrong?

[@Busalacchi0420]

Could you explain how to add this effect ontop of a 3d object with the free version of DR 17.

[@hierz250]

[@NotDeE23]

Hey, Billy I watch your videos pretty much everyone they are very useful to me. Can you make a video on "How to make a gaming montage Video" Please?

[@BillyRybka]

Sounds like a dope idea! What type of montage? Can you send me an example of one you like? I made one years ago on my old gaming channel, but its been like 6 years lol

[@anmolwankhede9714]

Amazing loved it

[@ssharizard]

Could you do a slow shutter speed effect

[@TriniWeekes]

Man this is really cool. but really complicated for a beginner like me, especially with the speed he is going at

[@Sika2311]

set video speed to 0.75 :D

[@annebg1237]

Really cool video. Does anybody know if you can do all of this in the free davinci resolve version?

[@K-Large]

Great stuff fam. Did you set your merge apply mode (in the inspector) to Normal or screen? My energy bust is only visible in screen mode.

[@fgtechtips]

Everything works as in the video but I cant add the glow, anytime i do the ball is cut by a rectangle, what can i do ? its probably because the energy ball is 1080p and my video is 4k

[@tysonking3788]

Hey Billy! Your videos are so entertaining and very helpful. I was wondering if you had any advice or could even make a video about how to do a seamless transition through a window. It would really help me out, thanks!!

[@khausen1407]

Thank you maaaaaan P.s I wanted to get a request in. Could you make a tutorial for resolve of the Harry Potter invisibility cloak? It's been done for AE but there's no good tutorial for it for resolve. Thanks :)

[@GKNaidu-hb5zv]

you have to make a video on shooting RAW on iPhone and colour grading until cinematic footage

[@TheSocaMann]

This is a well done video, but it would be even better if you explained why u change the settings rather than just changing them

[@BillyRybka]

thanks man! I tried to do that as much as made sense. However, this was more of an advanced video and the base effect already took like 12 minutes. So It would be a 20+ minute video if I explained everything. I've went over a lot of those things in past videos as well. Ill try to be more detailed in the future though!

[@krab4813]

Hey, the energy burst effect isn't getting showed there. It doesn't work and idk why. It worked once when i selected a fusion composition when i went to fusion i think, but that doesnt do anything to the video

[@Apels1n4eg]

how did you make the square arrows of the nodes?

[@SteveZ919]

Just curious...have you taken Davinci editing test (to get their cert) on their site? (It's free). With your level of editing I'm curious if the test is challenging to you at all.

[@BillyRybka]

I haven't actually. I feel lile the cert is something made by them saying they trust you to give advice lol

[@adinwalls]

Hey there, i downloaded the free asset and very early in the steps, when I add the asset to fusion and then try connect a transform node, the energy burst is not visible. Any idea why this would be happening? I have the Studio version of Resolve.

[@nickjwong]

Yep, same here, complete mystery.

Select 'screen' under apply mode as per comments below -c'mon Billy that should be a call out for sure.

[@dammitderrick]

Just came across your channel great work. Question, do you feel that fusion is more complicated then After Effects? That seem like a lot steps for an effect that was that complicated. Or am I just just to layers that are stacked on top of each other in After Effects.
