How to Replace a Phone Screen in Fusion - Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve VFX Tutorial (Advanced)

[@Agniii]

Really love your tutorials man. Can you do one for blurring edges and light wrap. Just cannot find a good way to do it for composting things. Thanks in advance 😄🙏

[@fahimhaider2433]

stay blessed and happy bro I had a project though I watched this video in the past but I came back to it just before the project it helped a lot, keep creating

[@sotothecreator]

youre my goat I just started editing and making fast progress because of you

[@Gedaly]

Great video! Sometimes when doing screen replacements, I'll sample the reflections from the original plate. Only works if the screen isn't over exposed, but when it works it's great for getting the real life lighting.

[@CaseyFaris]

Ahh yes! I actually prefer a black screen during production for that reason. Great for me monitors and TV's.

[@miss_kolissa]

How do I replace a Book Cover with a different cover? There’s no green screen.

[@belfrymanfilms]

@@miss_kolissa if it's clean you can use corner pin in the planar tracker, a few videos around doing that. But a pain oif it's not, have to roto I imagine, or maybe magic mask if you have studio.

[@Stigcrafter]

This tutorial is super super useful and clear, in fact possibly too clear cause I instinctivley hit cmd-S when you finished each one of the steps 😅

[@CaseyFaris]

Oh man haha that's a new one!!!

[@SethBlackMedia]

Not only do you make awesome tutorials, but it’s apparent you’re a cat person, which even doubles the awesomeness of this channel.

[@oxygen454]

VFX videos are great! Thanks for making the green screen video. I can use this 👍

[@KhanKnight]

F'ng Rock Star! No one can say you don't know your stuff. Thank-you Casey.

[@vaishnavnayak4251]

before even watching ,I know it will be awesome

[@eie_for_you]

More great stuff!

[@Xmadish]

Can you help me Casey? I am at 09:00 of your tutorial following step by step, however, my MediaOut shows only Smartphone screen with black inside and I cannot get Media2 to show that inside the smartphone. It seems like the background has higher priority somewhere than Media2, but I have checked also inputs and outputs and it is the exact copy. Have you experienced a similar issue before and what was the fix? 🙏 Thank you

[@TylerScheff]

Just going to be that guy and say I've had the same issue :'(

[@OchenDa1503]

I was having the same problem and I think I found the solution. Click on the MediaIn2 node and in the menu on the right side click on the "Image" panel and make sure Media Source is set to "Background". It was set to Media Pool by default for me and when I switched it, it changed it from just black to having the actual clip I wanted.

[@OchenDa1503]

Just discovered something else. You can also leave the Media Source as Media Pool, but you may need to adjust the Global In/Out at the top to make sure the clip is visible during the correct frames of the video. Doing the background is a little quicker, but it seems the Media Pool method allows you to more easily replace multiple greenscreens if you need to.

[@georgestander2682]

Thanks again Casey!!

[@yasinkolgu]

Some hard stuff. Thank you!

[@shaggy749]

Great info! Nicely done

[@JimRobinson-colors]

Nice tutorial, Casey.

[@robseidel1696]

Great tutorial!

[@iniu6773]

This feels illegal getting this much knowledge for free

[@sol_music]

Thank you so much for this!

[@dynamoarts9975]

i have track darts on my green screen. how can i remove it please

[@Rising-Skies]

First off Thank you that was really great to learn and ive started making some videos, but does anyone know how i would i make that cat array. i saw the node set up but im clueless how to do it

[@stehume]

video of how to do that would be good

[@TheKocksmanArchives]

without a green screen.... say if what you were replacing was a book cover with multiple colors... how would you go about removing that as you did in step 2? would I still use the Delta keyer or is there a better way?

[@Pixelsofmemoir]

What if there were multiple screens ? Should I use multiple planar trackers?

[@nightthemoon8481]

pro tip: add a delay to each scroll, on any real phone the screen pretty much only starts moving after your finger has already flicked and is off the screen, so delay it by a couple of frames

[@AlexRothman]

Hey Casey, I love the tutorials you put out! I have a question (for anyone else as well), do you know a good place to get free texture PNGs (like your smudge texture you used here)? I've tried to find a sort of crumple PNG to give my maps more texture, but no luck...

[@dkolendo]

i really don’t mean this’s to be snarky but… but some paper and crumpled it up and take a pic of it. that way you can have them exact crumple you want… plus your are using 100% your own footage and not resorting to stock

[@dromerdev]

First, nice vids ❤

[@laniakeasupercluster4606]

Thanks for the video. But how do you wrap the image so its perspective aligns properly with the screen? - the transform tool you used doesn't allow for any refinement, so if your camera is not exactly square to the phone (filming the background plate), your overplayed screen is going to look dreadful !!!

[@heysoymarvin]

awesome

[@IbraheemALBalushi]

What If I already have a video with a black background, how do I merge it using the function tool with another video, please

[@aidanoliver8209]

Would this be the same for doing it on an SVG?

[@souhaillokman6619]

can you please do a video for expressions and anime curves

[@resolving_boris]

Great for when the screen you're replacing is facing right at you, but it doesn't work when the screen is at an angle.....

[@MarkBankhead-pg2ur]

Any place I can get the phone smudge?

[@grime-cuts]

Hi does anyone know how to do this with using corner pins? As you can't export a planar transform with that. Had to do keyframed corner pins due to complex and edge motion (maybe there's another way?). Everything works perfect but the overlay is not going behind the hand controlling the phone

[@challengedollar2880]

self note: Seen till @9:20 as was needed.

[@Anand_Bhatt]

Hi, little off topic but Every-time I go from davinci to after effects and then back to davinci. There is always a color shift in the footage. I am on a PC. Do you have any tips to make sure footage looks the same when brought back in to davinci?

[@vishnurasam8998]

make a tutorial on cat array at 9.57

[@giacomobottarelli1776]

Can someone tell me, using this method, how could I remove black dots in the green screen? Used to help the tracker... I can't adjust the mask to remove them completely...

[@JoeBodego]

This is INSANITY.. I would never be able to do this in 100 years

[@Luddejonassalle]

there is a node called resize

[@AliEdits345]

In my case, the Delta Keyer screen color picker is not working. I have tried a lot of time but all in vain 😔

[@CaseyFaris]

Yeah it's buggy sometimes.

[@ArcanePath360]

I never understood why people want to add grain to anything. We spend thousands on FF cameras with low noise to eliminate such a thing as much as possible, and then some editor goes and adds it digitally. lol.

[@MartinAaberge]

Because the digital look is soulless. It is good for what it is and as you say, we have spent tons of resources cleaning everything up. In the end, we don't want to sit down and look at game cinematics, we want to watch film :D

[@ArcanePath360]

@@MartinAaberge _You_ might. _I_ want to watch nice clean, true to life visuals. I bet you are one of those people who shun 60fps because it looks like a "soap opera" and rather it be 24fps. Artsy film has it's place. There are some movies that are better in monochrome, however most content benefits from amazing visuals. The only time I can think of grain looking good is maybe in a horror film.

[@MartinAaberge]

@@ArcanePath360 what people find pleasing to watch is of course personal preference. We don’t have to like the same things. I definitely think 60fps has no place in film. There is a reason 24fps is standard and roughly 0% of all movies ever made was shot in 60fps. Lots of films add film grain to emulate the grainy look film used to give us. I’d argue most films you see in theaters or Netflix has added film grain. It is a matter of adding a tasteful amount :)

[@ArcanePath360]

@@MartinAaberge Wrong. There were some movies shot in 60fps. They had a special Imax cinema dedicated to showing them off many years ago. It never took off. I think many TV movies have been shot in 50 and downscaled to 25fps for UK TV. I personally hate 24p because of the juddery blur you get when panning, or fast action scenes with jump cuts where the action is so fast you don't even see it, because it's just a blur.

[@MartinAaberge]

@@ArcanePath360 that is true. Some action sequences are shot in higher fps and downsampled to 24 for that reason.

Imposible. Complicadisimo y demasiado rápido.

Everyone has their own top 10 at davinci resolve. At 1. I have mr Alex, 2. Casey, 3. Cullen, 4. Darren, etc etc. Then use the usefulness of the tips, calm explanations, very little to no EGO (well, find that out) etc. etc.. For quite some time Essential Video Editing has been number 1 with 100 gold stars if I can give it between 1 and 3 stars. Not because she - for me - lives in the most beautiful country in the world, but just for these many reasons as can be seen in this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpKcY2ONfsyfq5o and youtube.com/@EssentialVideoEditing And if anyone needs a lot of 'cups of coffee' she deserves to be one of them.
