Masking Text Behind Subject, Tutorial - LumaFusion - Blend Modes (iOS, Android, ChromeOS)

[@krackr8089]

Simplified the concepts of the blend modes. Darker mode follows dark > mdeium > light from subject to background. Lighter mode .. the other way round from subject to background. Thank you.

[@ManantialVE]

You got it! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@OpenDGuitar]

I am constantly amazed at how powerful Lumafusion is.

[@ManantialVE]

It is indeed a powerful app, but LumaFusion has its limitations, which force you to find creative ways around them, and that's where the fun is. Thank you for taking the time to comment!

[@OpenDGuitar]

Mobile Video Editing Limitations fuel creative problem solving.

[@ManantialVE]

Exactly my point! Still I find it amazing that I can edit 6 layers of 4K video smoothly in my 2 generations old iPhone X.

[@djsepsis]

This is FANTASTIC, thx!

[@ManantialVE]

This is a big huge help. Thanks for sharing!

[@ManantialVE]

Glad to help Aaron! I will be posting a tutorial with a different method to implement Text Behind Subject this Friday, so stay tuned. Love your channel. Not sure if you remember but we interacted in the past.

[@aaronre29]

Mobile Video Editing I am sure we have. LumaFusion is a big family. Gotta say though, you have blown anything I’ve done out of the water.

[@ManantialVE]

Aaron Escobedo I hope you’ll look at it as a challenge and come with something to top me up.😀

Holy cow, that is. Amazing thank you.

[@ManantialVE]

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! If you have a video with black bars, you can use the same method to make the subject appear on top of the bars. Check this example I just posted: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4HLiWBjhaiLpas

[@ManantialVE]

Great idea! I like your channel.

[@ManantialVE]

Just watched your video. Thank you for mentioning me and for sharing with your viewers. By the way, channel Touch N Edit did the same in German.

[@smartvideophotography]

Mobile Video Editing thank you.

[@ManantialVE]

I noticed that your videos are marked as “for kids”. This is a new setting for uploaded videos. Videos “for kids” means that your videos don’t appear in the feed and history, are not recommended and have the comments section off. Not sure if you are doing this by choice so I m bringing this to your attention because this may affect your subscribers grow and viewership. You can change the setting per video at at channel level.

[@renevoyage]

Impressive ! 👍 Thanks.

[@ManantialVE]

Wow.....great......

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks! As I mentioned in our previous conversation, more options!

[@Ponk_80]

That is extremely cool, there’s no need for tons of hours of masking time required. This one really blew me away right before You explained the trick. Amazing job finding this trick. 👍🍾🎉❤️

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks! With a bit of practice you can do it in seconds. The difficult part is not the editing but identifying which videos would work well with this method. I’ve already developed an eye for it😀

[@Ponk_80]

Mobile Video Editing cool, thanks for the tip, I’m definitely trying this one out.

[@ManantialVE]

Looking forward to see the results. BTW, your latest video blew me away. You and I work in the same way, we’re we start experimenting and sometimes don’t discover ideas by chance.

[@Ponk_80]

Mobile Video Editing Thanks, I was really positively surprised about what I found yesterday :)

[@ManantialVE]

I was too 😀

[@AnythingButOnes]

amazing tip man!

[@ManantialVE]

Thank you for watching!

[@TimelyAdventure]

Very cool! Could you do the same thing in Final Cut Pro?

[@ManantialVE]

Thank you! I’m not proficient with Final Cut Pro but I’m sure you can. Furthermore, being a full fledged desktop editor, it probably has masking capabilities that would make the task easier than the way I did it in LumaFusion. Now, within LumaFusion this is one of several methods that I developed to do Subject Behind Text. Check also these tutorials I made: Using Chroma Key: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jITTk6COf9KSi9U Using Luma Key (towards the end of the video): kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZK8Y5SlmdOWipY

[@TimelyAdventure]

@@ManantialVE Awesome, will check that out! FCP does have masking but this is somewhat easier in some instances, and yes, I tried and works pretty much exactly the same in FCP as you taught in LumaFusion. Thank you!!

[@ManantialVE]

@@TimelyAdventure Good to know!

[@anweshcreations6607]

Super tutorial bro

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks! I’m already working on the next one.

[@Ponk_80]

You can use this method to do text revealing from behind objects or subjects, like when the boat sails the text appears from behind the boat, You just need two versions of the video, one like this with the text on it, and one without the text, and the crop the one video on top, and key frame it, so the text only comes out of the left side of the sail.

[@Ponk_80]

I just got a new idea for the depth map feature, If you invert so the foreground becomes dark and the background white, You can use it as a fog effect on Your images :) Just use an app that can save both the Photo and depth map separately. You could even key frame the brightness slider to make it look like the fog is appearing and getting thicker.

[@ManantialVE]

Great idea!!! Let me know if you end up doing it. I really would like to see it. Otherwise, don’t worry I’ll try it, but it will take me a while.

[@Ponk_80]

@@ManantialVEI never got around to this idea, I just forgot about it.

[@ManantialVE]

It’s very useful. Works where other types of masking don’t.

[@stevierayvirus2]

You’re a genius!

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks, I’m humbled. I actually sat on this idea for 3 months without having time to do a tutorial.

[@stevierayvirus2]

ManantialVE ....awesome bro. You’re helping a lot of people. I got videos edited in luma posted in my youtube page, it’s not professionally edited, but you’re giving me ideas I can use in the future. Thank you brother. Keep going. All my respect.🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ManantialVE]

Just visited your channel. I really liked your latest solos. Did you use blending modes in the ballad?

[@stevierayvirus2]

ManantialVE ...oh Im sorry didnt replied quick, finishing my new video for uploading. No blending mode, no knowledge on that yet, just tweaking and experimenting and whatever comes out that I like, I save it.

[@Ayaz_Qais]

Nice

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks!

[@Chip59]

Great video but I can’t make it work. I made it all the way to the export part. I created a new project with the video I just made but the title is green......I added a 2nd clip but you didn’t specify what to do with that clip, in your example, the title of that clip is “green”. Do I apply the chroma key to the clip with the green title or the new clip underneath ?

[@ManantialVE]

First of all, thank you for watching and experimenting. The answer is yes, you got it right. After the export, you create a new project. The main track should contain a video or image that you want to see through the text. In the track above that, place the video with the green text and apply Chroma Key to it using pure green as the key color. You may need to adjust the chroma Key settings. No need to change anything in the video in the main track. Check the tutorial starting from 4:35. Please let me know if this helped.

[@Chip59]

@@ManantialVE ..thanks for the quick reply. I tried again and I’m obviously doing something wrong. If you don’t have the time, don’t worry about it but here’s a video showing what I did. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYCueqKvr8usqqM At 00:30 I imported the original video, without the title, and at 00:55, I applied the chroma key to the clip with the title, and you can see the result. Thanks.

[@ManantialVE]

At 0:33 you are adding a video to the same track. The issue is that it is the original video. Let's say that your goal is for the text to be red; so do the following: Instead of adding the original video, add a title with a rectangle that covers the whole title and set the face color of the rectangle to red. Now proceed and apply chroma key to the second track. Let me know if it worked. If it didn't I can create an example for you.

[@Chip59]

@@ManantialVE ..it worked !! Thanks so much.

[@WelmenMarak07]

Hy Even I also tried after watch you video but unfortune the blending Darker colour is missing on android phone's lumafusion & many more. How will I do it ?❤❤

[@ManantialVE]

Check if you have LumaKey presets in the Android version of LumaFusion (it will be where chroma key is). If so watch this tutorial of mine at 6:10.

[@dailymusicdrive]

2:30 detailed tutorial begin

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks for watching! In some of my videos I provide some background information before starting the tutorial so when you get to the LumaFusion part you are not following without understanding the reason behind the steps that you’re taking. Do you think I should indicate the beginning of the tutorial part so I can let viewers skip to it?

[@dailymusicdrive]

ManantialVE No, I totally understand your intention and showing what you are going to teach at beginning is very good way. I saw your awesome guide several times and I wrote timecode for just my ‘bookmark’ purpose. Thanks for all your guide!

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback!

[@Ziontastic]

cool man! ill try thing one. i hope i can finally create my intro hehe. thank you!

[@ManantialVE]

Go for it!

[@costtv]

Can you still add while doing a talking head video?

[@ManantialVE]

LumaFusion doesn’t support live streaming. If you are thinking about editing in post, then yes. With that said, many talking head style videos use a green screen, in which case you don’t need this workflow (background in main track, text in second track, talking head in third track)

[@costtv]

@@ManantialVE I don’t use a green screen I just have my background ?

[@ManantialVE]

@@costtv Is your background of uniform color?

[@costtv]

@@ManantialVE some of it is color to the right and then my chair where I sit

[@ManantialVE]

I’d try chroma key first. Keep in mind that you can add multiple chroma key instances to the same video, so you are able to filter out multiple colors, accounting in that way for the multiple colors you have in the background.

[@Ponk_80]

Now all we need is tracking for object/text in this amazing app, and we can start to make some professional Hollywood looking Intros for our short film projects.

With the method in this video you’ll have to export. With thAt said, since publishing this video, I came up with 2 additional methods that may work for you and don’t require an additional export. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jITTk6COf9KSi9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZK8Y5SlmdOWipY (Second one towards the middle)

Hi there is a way to convert the transitions used in adobe premiere and after effect into a format suitable for lumafusion

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks for watching. As far as I know you can’t.

[@Ponk_80]

Would You be interested in sharing some of Your ideas for future videos? I’m interested interested in trying some of the ideas out before You turn them into a tutorial, so it might give You some inspiration or feedback on what kind of clips to add in the tutorial. Plus You could do a video of the list of the ideas You have, to see witch ones people want to see first, if it doesn’t put too much pressure on Your work schedule. It’s just an idea.

[@ManantialVE]

On my way to work. I’ll get back to you in the evening.

[@ManantialVE]

Thank you! The idea has the potential of improving the quality of my videos and process but I won’t be able to accept your offer. As you probably noticed, I’m posting videos every 2-3 weeks. This is not due to lack of ideas but due to a demanding lifestyle. Until a few months ago I maintained an organized list of ideas, but due to time constraints many of those ideas were dropped in the middle or not picked up at all. To give you an idea, I ended the research for the video about text behind subject 3 months ago. I’m sure that the fact that I’m not posting many videos affects the success and grow of this channel, but family comes first. I truly appreciate your help and your support, and I find great value in the fact that we are both learning of each other’s ideas. However, I’m afraid that any additional tasks I add to the production of my videos will delay deliveries further more. I hope you continue sharing your ideas with me.

[@Ponk_80]

Mobile Video Editing I understand, I will definitely be sharing more ideas with You as I get them, I tend to get my ideas on the spot as I watch something new or have an inspirational moment from an idea that pops into my mind, I then try to recreate that idea in LumaFusion, and if it works I share the results either on the Facebook group I’m in or here on KZbin. And if people seem interested in a tutorial, I try to do one as painless as possible, I’m terrible at planning and staying on course, so I work while I still feel inspired to do the work, sadly I get bored easily with something I’m not experimenting on. It’s the reason I don’t really like doing tutorials, I prefer spreading ideas and inspiration instead, to give people who like making tutorials something to work with.

[@Ponk_80]

Would it be possible that You would be willing to share some of Your unused ideas with me, that You aren’t going to make tutorials for anyway? I would like to try them out, and use them to work on my will to make tutorials.

[@ManantialVE]

Sure! I’m going to work from memory because I can’t find that list. Here is one idea that I discussed with Tammy Sypniewsky, because I was going to mention her video about cloning: Clone yourself and then have one clone of you pass an object to the other. My plan was to have both clones pass around a cup of coffee, both taking a sip from it. Second and simpler idea about cloning; this was going to be a challenge to my viewers: one clone stays in the middle of the screen, while the other goes around him, first behind, then in front of him. More to come...

[@Ponk_80]

Oh and the ability to rotate Fonts and shapes in 3D space would be nice too, so that they not always face flat towards the viewers. and a custom 2D/3D shapes creator. for patching and other cool stuff. and a grading. and radial blur.

[@ManantialVE]

I couldn’t agree more!
