[@arshiyailaheen5204]

thank you so much for this! I was really worried about learning masking because for some reason I'd unconsciously decided that it would be extremely difficult. but you explained it in such a simple way and I'm so excited to try it out now!

[@ChronicAnna]

One of my new favorite youtubers! Video editing was always a scary area for me but since I started following this channel I learned a lot. Thank you so much

[@bluephoenixtwo]

Brilliant!! Thank you Alex!!!

[@rramonrivas]

Awesome video man! Just helped me soooo much! Thank you!!

[@yourfathersmoustache6866]

Great stuff !! As always .... my go to for Davinci Resolve learning and know how. Thank you very much Mr. Alex Tech ! Don’t stop !

[@thelightroom8389]

I still can't believe Davinci Resolve is free. It's Awesome!

[@bragefuglseth3505]

Blackmagic design is actually primarily focusing on hardware (cameras, GPUs, etc.), and when filmmakers start out with the free version of Resolve, they are more likely to buy Blackmagic products in the future. I'm extremely grateful for Resolve too!

[@namanjain5763]

@@bragefuglseth3505 ya true have used black magic clip like pocket cinema 4k. It just flies in resolve if we compare from canon and others have used m50 that also in both 4k and 1080p. And render and editing blackmagic footage is much easy if blackmagic ever have a good or even semi decent auto focus I would ditch all the camera and go for it and only two reasons I am not using blackmagic 4k first is budget have not that money currently and second is lack of auto focus as I really need to learn a lot in manual focus

[@Von_McKnelly]

Thanks for the step by step tutorial.....always good to see you on Friday. Have a great weekend Alex.

[@blowlo1464]

Ty man

[@benjiman7]

BRO. IM LITERALLY GONNA WIN A FILM CONTEST BECAUSE OF YOU!!!! Today I was thinking of this exact thing. And then BOOM WHADDUP ALEX HERE!

[@MrAlexTech]

Haha awesome dude!! Good luck, let me know if you win 😁😁😁

[@TechnoViel]

Thanks a million for the easy explanation! A few more details, for example why we change from frame to clip at 4:02 would help understanding the steps even better ;-)

[@mccalsee]

thanks maaaaan

[@furkanakbyk9466]

50k !!!! Always hereeeee

[@TristanBarrocks]

Thanks

[@Greenthum6]

Amazing. I have tried to do this, but got lost in UI. I see it now, thanks a lot!

[@handmade_videos]

Thanks, this was helpful and worked out fine. I created a thubnail with your help. The moving objects I will try out soon too. Greetings

[@HoneyJamTesla]

I never knew tracking in color tap was this powerful. I spent about 6 hours to mask 5 second of my dog video one time lol

[@MrAlexTech]

Ohhh man 😆! Yeah the tracking does a decent job, sometimes it can just fall over completely but for simple objects it's quite good. As you saw in the video, the building track worked great. The intro to this video was a bit more difficult but still way quicker than doing it frame by frame 🙂

[@andersbriar5227]

I know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any help you can give me

[@malikbodie475]

@Anders Briar instablaster ;)

[@andersbriar5227]

@Malik Bodie thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@andersbriar5227]

@Malik Bodie it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account !

[@T4nkcommander]

You always do a great job on these! Very underappreciated. Out of curiosity, could you do this in Fusion as well? Thought that was the primary way to track targets, actually...

[@matei_lungu]

Yes, with magic mask

[@skyviewphotography8763]

Nearly 50'000!!!!!

[@DrHansBrewery]

Nice

[@namanjain5763]

I was waiting for something like this as have seen so many videos by matti happoja where I see text in the middle of drone shot and always want to know hot it is being done now know it and will love to do it myself

[@MuhlisErtugrul]

No wonder this video has no dislikes (ignore the 1), you are awesome!

[@newbsmedia2277]

Hi Alex, thank you for this 👍🏾 Do you think I can use this in a Music Video?

[@alastairpalm8150]

Alex I wondering if you can do a tutorial on lifting ink from a page and making them , perhaps glow in mid air?

[@siparnell9071]

Hey Alex, as always, clear and concise...but what about multiple tracking masks within the same clip? Can't seem to work out how to do it 🤔 Do you know? Thanks again! 😁👍👍

[@siparnell9071]

Ah-hah!!!! Maybe, serial nodes would do it. Dunno why I didn't think of that 🤔 I blame Adobe Premier Pro. 😂

[@LewisJJC]

Hi Alex, love your tutorials. Is there any equally simple tracker solution in Fusion to inverted mask the text instead? I can use the point and planar trackers but don’t get as good results. Seems a bit strange to have the best tracker for this in Colour not Fusion... any thoughts?

[@Drakkhen888]

Hey Ales, great job as usaul! But what do the “clip” and “frame” buttons do? What's the difference between them? Thank you!

[@RorschachExplores]

Think you could show us some trippy effects? I enjoy your work and how you teach

[@HongGiaQuyenLaPhuSon]

this is so cool, but I had a terrible experience with matching the colour of the 2 videos(note that we cannot apply the Grab Still in the Color Page since it will apply all the tracking as well. I might have to use Fusion to avoid such hassle. Thanks for sharing anyway!

[@vickevire]

Little curios, in what scenarios do i need to choose between "clip" or "frame", what is the difference? I've always used clip. Great tutorial as always!

[@Imkenster08]

Great Video - I tried the same thing on a still that is 15 seconds in length. however it only worked for the first frame only. Do I need to still track this even though it is a still photo? Thanks!

[@allestoll397]

Thumbs up!

[@AmarkanskFishing]

In before 50k incomming subs ! Thanks.

[@yanlenqt]

Hey Mr Alex! I was wondering how do you create an eclipse burst on davinci?

[@JoshuaDavidson]

In the second example you have a static background. I'd there a way to tell resolve to only track the things that change as a mask? Or some kind of subtraction?

[@paulcain548]

Hi Alex. Is there a way of faking the anamorphic effect in Davinci Resolve? Once again thanks for the amazing content...and the vlogs 👍🏻

[@ofer1970]

hi alex! can we capture a vhs tape and convert it to mpeg 4 in davinci? it will be a great help to know that. thanks alot

[@WayneRosa-Australia]

Hi Alex great Video as always, although I have a problem: - When I create a power window The area inside is a translucent blue color which shows in the output How do I make it truly transparent???

[@SimonStansfield]

Nice one Alex. Thx!

[@MrAlexTech]

Cheers Simon 🙂👍

[@DavidRomanHalliday]

I've been using alpha channel controls for layering objects (like this) and transitions (e.g. luma fade transitions). For complicated shapes (like hair) I've used chroma key replacement with mixed results. I ended up combining 8 alpha chanel nodes (both pen tool and color picker), thinking "There must be a better flow for this!". Is there a better flow for more complicated alpha channel combinations?

[@Psyko_Blood]

how about in fushion ? o: Very nice tutorial btw !

[@SegrainesAMV]

How did you make the moving text. I thought you were gonna do it too.

[@joz1ah175]

Will this work in the free version?

[@timothyblock2662]

how do I adjust the speed of scrolling text?

[@A1Bokeh]

Does this work for resolve 17?

[@kaisaraize]

When I try it, the effects I do on the top clip also affect the bottom clip such that its just a black backgound, how do I resolve this?
