PARALLAX: Note to everyone talking about parallax- Panning shots do not have parallax if the tip of the lens is at the rotation point. Even if the camera is slightly off the base/rotation point, for a distant shot such as this you would not see parallax. So this kind of locked tracking actually is accurate for a pan shot. - With that said, Darren, EXCELLENT video. Thank you! And seeing solutions you come up with for when parallax is needed will be very interesting to see. : )

Man you make that key look so easy. When I try to hit skin with the qualifier it’s a total nightmare 99% of the time. Bane of my existence.

Its an art you learn ... Try the new 3D qualifier... its very good.

@@DarrenMostyn haha good. Can I ask a quick question? I have an Canon R6 and have been using hdrpq to shoot in. I find I prefer the look of it over clog when finished. I don't export in hdr just SD. In your opinion is this OK or would you always recommend using clog over hdrpq for grading purposes. Sorry to hijack your reply 😂👍

[@DarrenMostyn]

💚 An often overlooked tool that is also available in the Free version 💚 Please note that the tracking element in this video is just to show that feature and the sky would normally need some parallax adjustment - but I thought it useful to show anyway. This also works with moving video images (eg - moving sky images).

[@dansowerby2116]

Do you have a more advanced video with the parallax adjustment?

Dude wtf... I've been trying to figure out the best way to do this and it just so happens to be the way you just showed and how the hell was I ever going to know this until I stumbled upon this video searching for Matte painting. I approve this video with five stars and royal candy. ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thank you. Appreciated.

[@net200777]

Is there any way to create a gradient between the new sky and the old sky?

[@PassionForLifeGallery]

Thanks so much for the tutorial. I would never have figured this out reading the manual. I tried this today and all worked according to plan except that I think my jpeg resolution was not high enough. Also I had ghost lines around some of the structures and people which were against the sky. Perhaps some of the rest of you had the same problem.

Thank you sir! I learned so much from this short video! Stay blessed.

[@DarrenMostyn]

[@JimRobinson-colors]

yep! You could do one a week on these OFX controls and I would be someone that learns a lot. I had a green screen video that I had to do for a music video and used the fusion Delta keyer that worked great but slow playback and caching everytime you move something. Just out of curiosity I tried the OFX keyer and it worked just as well but immediate playback without caching. So I tried some Text+ directly on footage and when doing the exact thing in Fusion - the same results. So not sure about this one, but I would bet if this was done in Fusion that it would bog down the system, like the other Fusion stuff I mentioned. There is a whole void of information that I thought I had a good knowledge of, your videos keep showing me that there is so much more to learn. Thanks for this.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Hi Jim. This is a really old technique - it's not even a V17 thing - I did this again about a month ago and then noted it as a good one for tutorial (that is how I work .. I do something and note it for a tutorial because they are REAL things - I just have to then find footage allowed to use!!! - this notepad is getting big BTW). What i like with this is the quick solution outside of Fusion - I know how to use Fusion but am often under pressure that I simply don't think about Fusion as an option. Thats just me - Im not fast in Fusion, Im fast in Color and Edit. Hope you well mate, Darren.

[@PhillipLofas]

That’s great. Just got DaVinci on iPad. Been using LumaFusion which I love but this is another world. I’ve been working on changing skies for a couple of days and worked out a system on colour (as fusion just crashes) but yours is sweeter. Obviously normal match move places the image in front and that’s what if had to solve, I did it with keying a second replica layer but as I say your method is much better. Thanks. One question if you don’t mind? Can you match move to more than one node/ layer. Say I want to composite a landscape with a hand held shot. Behind I want a png tower match moving (which I can do) and behind the tower a png sky, both match moved to the landscape node.

[@craigmelville5917]

This is a great technique. I'll definitely use this one.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Its pretty simple for such a good effect. Enjoy.

Thanks for another great video Darren! If you want some additional resize capabilities for the matte, add a serial node after it and use Node Sizing (it doesn't work just on the matte, need the serial node) This is a way to 'replace' the plate cropping controls that used to be available.

Your technique--dragging an image directly onto the node tree--is new to me (yeah, I thought I had seen all the Resolve techniques!). Likewise, the Match Move OFX tool which consolidates and simplifies the compositing steps. Wonderful. Where do you learn these techniques??? I asked Simon Ubsdell (as you know, he has excellent deep-dive Fusion tutorials!) that question once: the short answer was, "I've been doing this for twenty years." Thanks, Darren.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Both great ideas - thank you for contributing. Do you use Prem or Avid or both..? Which would be more useful? Maybe I open that question out to anyone ? We certainly deal with both all the time - not so much FCPX.

Great video! You have helped my transition from Premiere Pro so easy! One question. I am using your Basic Node tree for my color grading, how would I implement replacing skies with using your node tree. Thanks Nick

[@AlexCameron-Depiqd]

Definitely a method of sky replacement I haven’t seen before. Mentor Mostyn for the win! 😁 Question, would you recommend this method for a composite with a larger movement or even in a drone shot where the camera is moving say towards the subject? Cheers and stay safe

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thanks Alex. So for movement you need to look at the tracking techniques I taught you before with tracking data and offset via negative value in stabiliser. Big moves with sky replacement will not work with this technique - this is a quick fix scenario , and best suited to non moving images which it works well with.Hope that helps and enjoying your tips on your channel!

[@AlexCameron-Depiqd]

@@DarrenMostyn Okay understood. I thought that would be the case just wanted to double check - 'Age of Aeroplanes' frozen plane landing technique it is then! 😉

Hey Darren ... so if I need to do a window to better key the sky in a shot, I can't seem to then use the tracking tool in motion match to then track the forground to the new sky. Is there a work around? Sometimes the sky just won't key effectively with the qualifier alone for me.

Hi Darren. I have a locked off shot off some fireworks that I'd like to add into a panning shot of a building that I also shot at night. If I brought the footage in to this match move tree I'm conscious that it won't treat it as an ext matte as it's a video. Would you still use this method or would you bring the footage in to the new sky replacement tool to achieve the composite?
