Daniel, we all really appreciate your lessons. Yes, I've learned about Magic Mask but no one starts Alpha'ing. They all show us to apply alpha last. And no one spends serious time teaching the quality controls. This is a great lesson for sure. Oh, and lastly, Daniel, I really really like how you magnify and zoom into the very specific controls on the DaVinci parts. Just awesome. Keep up the fabulous work!!!

Question for you! If I wanted to improve educational video that has the talking head at the bottom, and I want to switch out the background and change the lettering, is there an easy way to do that? Or would I have to do the whole video over?

[@Daniel_Batal]

Yeah, definitely. You could just manually mask out the PIP portion and replace the main image. You could do that in Fusion with a polygon or Bspline mask or in the Color Page with a power window and and alpha (transparent) output. This video shows it with an image but the same process will work. You don't need to hand draw the mask, using a square power window might work---> kzbin.info8f9o7-JEmMs?si=2At-kYdmon2Vq15I

Hi Daniel. Great tutorial as usual. In addition to everything else - your zooming in and repositioning during your tutorials really nail it - I know doing that zooming is extra work. Can you do another tutorial showing the best Magic Mask techniques when more than one person is in the shot. Also when there are additional foreground objects in the footage, such as a desk or multiple non human “props’ or even animals such as a dog in the footage. Situations where Magic Mask can be used beyond one human. I realize Magic Mask has its limitations, however I would like to see you push it to the limits. …Rowby.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Great suggestion! I’ll make a note of that and see if I can cover it in an upcoming video

[@flipnap2112]

you can always run multiple passes on the footage an combine the alphas using Fusion. Fusio can be your best friend and its no as hard to learn as people think. just take it slow and easy and dont move on until you full understand the basics. Casey faris has great beginners fusion tutorials. and magic mask also has "object" masks.

[@RicoRodriguezGrows]

Yo Daniel!! ✌️ What format do I choose when exporting if I’m putting on KZbin and my goal is to fill the entire screen on my iPhone when laying it sideways. No borders on the video. Can you help?

Depends on the phone because all screen displays are different. Start with 2:1 and that’ll get you most of the way there for most common mobile devices

[@flipnap2112]

also remember unless you lock the rotation of your iPhone it will automatically rotate the video. resolve has built in "social media" aspect ratios for both editing and rendering.

Hello great video information Daniel

[@Daniel_Batal]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that ☮️❤️

[@The_Jupiter2_Mission]

Magic mask is unreliable in the colour page if you alter any part of the image back in the edit page. The mask breaks down. It seems best to use it in fusion. The other aspect is you really need strong contrasting and bright colours for magic mask to work well with a moving image. I have found it doesn't work so well in mid to low lit scenes.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Yeah, I explained a lot of that in the video. I haven’t had the Edit Page issue you’re referring to. I wonder if it’s a system resource issue?

[@jer3006]

@@Daniel_Batal No, it is not a system resource problem and I have also commented to some of your videos about this issue. If you take a color page Magic Mask back to the Edit page, then decide to use the Inspector to Transform-adjust anything in that clip, the mask will often just disappear. Then you have to go back to the Color page and recreate it. OTOH, if you create the Magic Mask on the Fusion page and return to the Edit page, further Transform adjustments do not delete the mask. When it first happened to me, it was more than annoying, so I searched on the issue, and found YT content creators who have discussed it.

[@NealWiser]

@@jer3006​​⁠I didn’t see this comment until I added mine above (see “WARNING”). My use of MagicMask in Fusion doesn’t seem to make a difference. Sometimes, it seems that if I touch the clip for any reason in Edit, it loses the mask.

You are a FANTASTIC teacher. Really well done. But I am just curious what can be done with a video such as yourself in this video. You have curly hair with a background of a similar color. Do you think you could make a decent mask of yourself and make it so that the background would be replaced properly in area where we can see "through" your hair? If so, that would be a KILLER mask. Thanks.

[@Daniel_Batal]

That’s a great question. I typically will put myself in front of a green screen or a color that’s more easily keyed out just because of the curls in my hair and the amount of background that can potentially show through. I thought you were going to point out how out of focus my camera was on this video! 😅 For some reason, my auto focus decided to choose my hands as a fixed point and I didn’t notice it until I was just about ready to edit.

[@flipnap2112]

magic mask is good for the quick and well prepped footage. hair is always the trickiest and most people have spent years becoming good at it. on typical non green screened footage youre gonna have to dive into fusion. it has very very good tools for this and quite a few keying techniques

Is there any differences in quality when you use MM in the free version vs the studio version? Because when i try to erase some background, i feel like it doesn't do a very good job and i get a lot of imperfection. From a noob, thank you!

[@Daniel_Batal]

Magic mask actually isn’t available in the free version, only the studio version.

[@tomhassomethoughts]

I've got a question: is there any way to apply this masking across multiple clips cut from the same source file? I want to use the AI transcription to cut and edit a single file, but once it's complete I want to apply the Defocus Background effect across all the individual clips without having to individually re-apply (and render) the mask. I guess I could put the whole clip in the timeline and apply the effect through it all first, but I'm not sure if it would mess with me using the AI transcription to pull out all the bad takes.

[@Daniel_Batal]

You control the track assignments. Upload into your media pool, create tracks by right clicking on an existing track control region and choosing “Add Track”, then decide what goes into each. Another easy starting point is when you created your first track and have one piece of footage in it, left click on that video clip in your timeline and drag upwards. It’ll move it into a new track and leave an open track below it. Once you have a few tracks going, right clicking in the far left control section of each track will allow you to add tracks above and below.

Hi Daniel. I switched to DaVinci, i rly like it, but there are one thing what is make me crazy, maybe because I'm not experinced enough. When I'm trying to move clips on all tracks on timeline with "swap clips"(ctrl+shift+,) method, clips on all tracks (except track 1) are overwriting them selfs. To avoid this this I need to link all of them, split them and only after that I can move them with "swap clips" method. Is there any way to move clips on different tracks without doing all of this steps?

[@Daniel_Batal]

Couple of ways. One of the easiest is clicking the “lock all tracks” option just under the preview window then just unlocking the track you want to work with. The reason some functionality affects more than one track is that the Auto Track Selector for each track is usually on by default. You can turn those off o the left side of each track

Yes, but it often happens when moving the clip on the timeline that the mask is lost. If you have not previously saved the clip with "Render in Place". Very resource hungry! Very nerve-wracking with longer clips. And Magic Mask works better and more accurately in the Fusion Page.

Absolutely. The aspect ratio of your project can be anything you want.

When I add an alpha output, it doesn't remove the background. Is there another setting I'm missing?

Retrace and follow every step I covered here Make sure other tracks aren’t impacting your edit

Figured it out. You have to toggle Mask Overlay.

I cannot find the magic mask in the color page I'm using davinci resolve 18.6. what is the other way sir?

[@Daniel_Batal]

As I said in this video, this is a studio version only feature, so you’d have to have Resolve studio installed

Sir , when i click on render button to render 1 min fusion clip( medium quality) , my GPU is 1660 super , i don't know why this showing 10 hours to render this and render timming is increasing continuously !! What should i do .

[@Daniel_Batal]

A couple of things, If you’re using the Free version, it does not support GPU acceleration. Also, You’re using an incredibly underpowered GPU for running Resolve. The 1660 Super is built for gaming, not so much editing. Use these recommended (not minimum) system specs-> motionarray.com/learn/davinci-resolve/davinci-resolve-system-requirements/

When it's tracked, as soon as I start to adjust the masked image it disappears? and I can't find it?

[@Daniel_Batal]

Quick question, are you switching to another page like the Edit page and then adjusting it when you experience this problem?

[@stevesculptor1]

@@Daniel_Batal Thx for getting back. I may have switched back to the edit page before it finished, but I don't think I adjusted anything. It's as soon as I move something in the transform panel after tracking 🤔(edit page) it vanishes.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Try to make all of your adjustments in the edit page before you mask and track anything because in certain situations that I personally haven’t been able to replicate people have told me they lose some of their mask tracking

[@Mr.wonderfully]

What if i want to do the opposite leave the background and just mask the guy,?

You can invert the mask

I am finding that Masking in Resolve 19 Studio beta is definitely problematic. More work needs to be done with tracking. For me, in video masking it's just not usable yet.

BETA definitely always has issues, hence… “BETA”. Which OS are you using and what are your full system specs?

That’s a solid system. The 3060 might come up a bit short. I run a 4090 and even then, with a heavy load 4K project I find some issues with version 19. Typically it ends of being a resource demand issue with tracking masks because you’re asking the software to do a lot and Resolve is a resource hog, for sure. Have you tried rolling your project settings back just for edit and then back up for export? Also, have you tried keeping your playback display resolution at “half” instead of “full”?

Is there any other way (workaround) for the freebies? The free version seems to have everything BUT masking 😢

You’d have to manually draw in masks point by point as I mentioned in this video. If masking is something you plan on doing frequently, I would absolutely suggest considering purchasing a Resolve Studio license

do it in fusion. if the camera is moving then youre gonna have to animate it. there is no "easy root" work. magic mask has its place but its also a massive cheat. just go into fusion and use their masking tools. youll thank yourself.
