How to Remove Scar, Tattoo, Blemish in Davinci Resolve

[@ltz888]

Thanks for uploading this, great tutorial. Only thing is, for anyone else struggling and finding it doesn't work, make sure the Paint brush is on STROKE not Multistroke, otherwise it only works for 1 frame. You can find these settings at the toolbar near the top of DaVinci when you're on the Paint node. Cheers!

good practical use of fusion. Thank you for sharing.

How do you account for the frozen noise/grain on your patch? Do you ever do any grain matching in fusion?

I'm working with Resolve, but why do I keep thinking these things would be simpler in AE?

[@TomAntos]

For some simple things AE is simpler or quicker because it's layer based so you just apply a specific effect to a layer and adjust the settings. However it's very limited. When doing more advanced things then in many cases AE will simply not be able to do it because there is no such effect that can be applied. Fusion in Resolve uses nodes and that is a lot more powerful way of working because essentially you can create your own effects and presets using multiple nodes. I am also going very slow in this video and explaining it step by step but in reality most of this stuff I already have saved as a preset and can simply plug in my footage and it's done.

This is cool, but there are too many steps for this particular shot. After Effects would handle it more efficiently with fewer steps. Thanks for sharing this method, though

[@TomAntos]

AE can do it a bit faster if there is a certain effect you can apply to a layer. However it doesn't take that much longer in Resolve's Fusion once you know it and do it. In my video I take a long time stopping and explaining each step. Also in Fusion because it's node based pretty much anything can be done since you can use multiple nodes to create your own effects and save them as presets. What I show here in the video I can do very quickly by simply loading one of my presets. In AE as long as there is an effect or plugin you can apply it works, but can't really create your own effects or new ways of compositing like in Fusion. So for a lot more complicated effects AE is very limited.

Is this the only way in resolve to fix skin problems? I thought there was a quicker tool designed just for that.

[@MedinaVegas]

Not the only one, you could use the Color page, power windows, adjustments and tracking for small blemishes for example, but here Tom is explaining how to use paint/clone tool in Fusion to completely cover a large area with a copy of another part of the skin, which I appreciate, another tool to use when appropriate , he is doing his Fusion series :)

Yes there is Face Refinement effect in the color page and it works great but just on faces.
