How You Can Get the Locked-On Stabilization and Text-Tracking Effects EASY in Davinci Resolve 17.

Getting the Locked-On Stabilization effect in Davinci Resolve is much easier than it seems! And you can use the EXACT SAME TOOL to also track text or an object along with your clip. In this video, I'll show you an example of how I used the tracker to accomplish both of these tasks in one video and how you can use it in your own projects!

[@PANOYT]

Love this simple explanation. Thank you for taking the time to explain each step

[@samueltriplett]

Man, this was really helpful! Having done any and all VFX/MoGr/Compositing work in AE for about 7 years, trying to learn Fusion and understand the Node system has been really difficult, but this broke it down in a great way to where now I'll definitely at least try tracking out in Fusion. (At least for non-Mocha things!) Thank you!

[@theregularfinnishguy]

This was just what i was looking for. Great tut 👌

[@printsbytoni]

Awesome work! Well explained mate 👏🏾

[@kurtgilbertson]

The text and arrow walkthrough were great tips! Have had amazing and terrible success with tracker in fusion but this was a nice reminder how simple it can be. Thanks!

[@dunnadidit]

It works really we’ll when it works haha.

[@SOVIsland]

As I'm learning Davinci this tutorial just saved a bunch of my vids, thank you.

[@geoffreymee7671]

Excellent Dunna. Well explained dude. I'll be using that on some drone footage I was a bit heavy handed with - ie, not a smooth turn. And not forgetting how superb Davinci Resolve is - the creative possibilities with this software are seemingly unending.

[@UniquelyMary]

You did it again!!!!!

[@JolanXBL]

There we go! That's what I was looking for, and also using a Hummingbird

[@SamTavrs]

[@bensoumokil]

Thanks

[@dunnadidit]

Cheers!

[@kernsanders3973]

Thanks this helps a lot, I'm trying to stabilize a subject in a video, but it was filmed roughly, like moving closer and tilting, rotating the camera. Been struggling with Resolve's automatic stabilize options. Getting different results on all three options perspective, similar etc. What I like about this option, I can edit the timeline of each frame where the box is pointing. Can't seem to find if there is any such options for stabilize, because it actually does a decent job with the automatic stabalize options, but it always at least a few frames that cause the footage to jump or jerk near the end. Would be freakn amazing if there was such timeline options for Stabilize. Then I could just correct those specific frames near the end of the video.

[@dunnadidit]

That would be amazing!

[@bzibubabbzibubab420]

Thank you for the video sir, can I ask can we locked on track it using planar tracking ? Thank you in advance

[@Florida_Foil_Frothers]

Great tutorial! Can you do this on the color tab though? I’m on an iPad Pro and the Fusion tab isn’t functional yet.

[@matiaslugones]

ure a beast

[@TomBoudewijns]

Nice! Any ideas what's causing the green selection box to go completely black when I move it?

[@jackjon777]

do you know how to edit the green tracker line and adjust any nudges the auto tracker applies that you don't want?

[@juanalejandrosotto6217]

Is there a way to correct the fusion tracking? Like edit to where fusion points the box? Cause sometimes it goes off target.

[@Error-rr4gk]

very easy to understand tutorial although i ran in to one issue that i don't think was discussed in the video, i got my tracked object and everything tracks fine but for some reason the object is not centered and i can't find any thing explaining how to center it, some advice would be great

[@JoaquimGonsalves]

Thanks a ton! Are these tools available in the free version?

[@yiqigo1681]

Hi, Thanks for the awesome explaination, however I facing a problem which when I press the tracking bottom the Davinci resolve didn't have any respond and the operation list cannot open as well, do you know what's the problem is ? thanks!

[@zer0b0t]

is it possible to add more than one tracker to fine tune the movement? because there's still a bit of movement

[@MEGATestberichte]

After i found some KI-Voice generated crap videos about that .... this one is perfectly done and explained. I prefer humans. Like!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hendriks.4094]

you are geat

[@NenLuThanh]

Is there any way to have locked on stabilization both on FG and BG? Thanks

[@hectorpacheco3211]

How would you use this to track movement such as a soccer player?

[@nikthebarber]

how would I track say a window in one video so that I can use a video asset of a window frame on fire to lock to the position of the window in the main video?

[@parkchimchim5343]

what if i want just want to constraint the x-axis and not they y-axis to center the object?

[@BigEco]

I'm trying to track 2 objects! A person, and a ball, and edit so they both stay in the frame during action, zooming in and out, framing left and right. Any thoughts?

[@NK-zs4mx]

i have ran into an issue where when i add text it has two clips that are transparent and in sync and i cant get them the be aligned

[@sergioguzman2065]

Why does davinci seems to stretch the footage everytime i stabilize it? I come from hitfilm and im pretty sure it didnt happen to me while using it

[@carson_wrobel]

Hey Dunna, thanks for the video! At the beginning, around 0:55, you said you imported music from IG reels? How do you do that? I always wondered and always had a hard time lining up music with my videos because I couldn't directly import!

[@dunnadidit]

Tutorial coming soon!!

[@carson_wrobel]

@@dunnadidit Awesome! Thank you!

[@Kekstreetboy]

What do i do if i dont want the text to move along? If i add a text its still obbly because of the zoom and perspective, i cant find anything to solve it

[@HappyTeaRex1]

Can someone tell me why it doesn't show me the Video as Background wenn moving the tracker? It's just black...

[@xinal7]

what do i do if the tracker doesnt recognise the object?

[@twinkie1773]

Do you have a tutorial on how to make a cinematic film title template? I want to learn how to make 1 like the "tropical colors" be selling.

[@dunnadidit]

Not yet but I’ll consider it!

[@MrAykut2010]

Why not using track mode in the color tab?

[@VISHALKUMAR-bs3th]

I will

[@Betterrgocapture]

Some one can help with pattern polygon must be closed error

[@jajaboss]

I mean, I already seen this tutorial from another youtube and it is exactly the same method but I don't quite understand that one. On the other hand, this guy make it a lot more detail and noob friendly which I really appreciate. But one thing I would ask is sometime the tracking goes bad how can I edit it point by point?

[@dunnadidit]

Thank you so much!! Editing points is really annoying and frustrating. I’m still trying to find a way to explain it that’s a bit more beginner to intermediate friendly. To be honest though, I will often just ignore it if I can’t get it to track nicely.

[@jajaboss]

@@dunnadidit Subscribe! If you see my channel I usually use manual tracking only but lately I can't stop my self from tracking everything lol, so tracking workload seem bigger and bigger. I would really appreciate if you can make tracking beginner friendly
