Hi, thank you for the nice tutorial. How can I speed up the replaced screen? I did anything like in the tutorial, but the replaced video playing slower than it should.

[@klingklangklong1719]

Same here 👋

[@steveh4895]

I have seen a few versions of this effect . I found yours to be the most easily understood. My project consists of 9 screens (2 photo frames of 4 images and a separate frame for 1) so it will be very complicated. Subscribed 🙂

Thank-you Steve. I hope your project goes well.

i already said that. Best channel for DR . Thank you

[@team2films]

Wow, what a compliment. Thank-you. Glad you are enjoying the content.

[@MIKE-RADA]

@@team2films KZbin still doesn't offer enough advanced tutorials on "Fairlight" - How to proffesionaly process it. And there are also not enough basic up-to-date tutorials regarding 3D scenes, importing from Blender, 3D bank models and their simple use in practice. In your presentation, the tutorials are always professional, you have a quality presentation... I would appreciate more tutorials on Fusion. it doesn't have to be so advanced, rather explain the incomprehensible things that fusion does twice differently with the same use.. tracking in non perfect environment.. Its more about how do you guys think about some challenge or problematic shoot or "problem" in editing - your "thought processes".

This was great. There are a lot of tutorials covering basic functions of Resolve. But not many easy to follow ones on Fusion and Fairlight.

[@b3hulk]

I have 2 questions. 1st - My screen that I want my video to go over is not a square, it is a custom shape. How do I get around that? 2nd - The video that is over my screen, is not too scale. its zoomed in way to much, how do I get around that? Appreciate your videos!

[@stehume]

haha.... yours seems to be the only comment that has not had a reply from, does not do the channel anygood

[@team2films]

Check out our latest Fusion Masterclass, it deals with that issue and shows how to fix the exact problem you are describing. Hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching.

[@team2films]

@stehume What do you mean? I'm confused!

[@Deep-Travel]

Another amazing tutorial.

[@team2films]

Thanks again David. Appreciate your support.

[@neptunic1]

Really nice tutorial. But i have a problem. Somone walkes through the screen in my footage. That destroys the track. What should I do? It cant track when there is a person in front of the screen

[@team2films]

You can add animate and add occlusion masks to the planar tracker effect that will remove the person from the track. Hope that helps!

[@theflickerfilms]

thank you sir for tracking

[@team2films]

Always welcome

[@StacheDTraining]

Is it possible to round out the corners of the image in Davinci, or does it need to come into Davinci as a PNG with the corners already rounded?

[@ThorCaes]

Great tutorial! Although for some reason when I change to corner pin, adjust the shape, the planar tracker suddenly doesn't track it anymore. While it does if I leave it on "track". Not sure why this is the case?

[@team2films]

Sorry to hear you are having problems! Sorry it's difficult to diagnose without more information. Have you been able to troubleshoot your issue, or is there more info you can provide?

[@SCVisualArt]

Hi from Greece. Is there a workflow to do the same thing but on a rotating screen? for example I have a clip of a hand holding a phone and the clip starts showing the side of that phone, slowly turning to reveal the whole screen. Do I have to do the tracking frame by frame? Thanks and keep up.👍

[@team2films]

Heya, it's possible to do a combo of tracking and manual keyframing. Tracking will likely become difficult the more extreme the angle of the phone. Check out our latest Fusion Masterclass. Because we show some techniques for difficult planar tracks in there that might solve your problem.

[@LorenzoManera78]

Couple of questions... Why when I change the contrast or the brightness I see the correction in made in a rectangular not aligned with thecorner pin? Actually I see in your video you correct only saturation and gain.. Second question: there is any way to have more soft border of the image in the corner pin? Sometimes the edges are so visible and make the result less realistic. Thanks

[@team2films]

Enable Multiply By Mask in the settings page of the Color Corrector node. That should fix your problem. Yes there are ways of softening the border. A simple way would be to put a soft edge on the image you are compositing onto the screen. There are many other ways too. Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction. Thanks for watching.

[@Paul_Cherry]

I LOVE U MAN

[@team2films]

☺️

[@duskopemusic]

hey, how would you go about replacing screen if the screen has a video playing in it? ive spent well over a few hours trying to figure this out. what happends is that the content on the screen has a camera pan in it and it moves the tracker. i should mention that the clip with the screen also has movement.

[@team2films]

Hello, great question. It's going to be harder, but it should be possible. In most instances you can get away with tracking the bevel around the screen. Exclude the moving image but include as much of the bevel as possible.

[@duskopemusic]

@@team2films thank you, I’ll give this a try

[@georgediakoslomnios908]

what you do when you have to track a phone pulled out of a pocket or bag?

[@corknakovastein]

im trying to make my background move with my character after ive keyed out the green screen, I do everything step by step, character is tracked, but when I merge the background from the media pool nothing happens to it

[@team2films]

It sounds like you want to do a match move. Try configuring it to show the BG or FG only depending on how you have your inputs configured. Let us know how that goes.

[@team2films]

Thanks! Please watch our Fusion Masterclass. There is a great technique in there that you can use to fix this issue.

[@jorgemiranda9640]

hi , thanks a lot , please , how can I soften the edges of what I put in the cornerpin?

[@team2films]

It gets a bit more convoluted, but you can use your planar tracker to make an alpha matte, and then blur that.

[@jorgemiranda9640]

@@team2films Thanks a lot

[@samshareslife]

hey man thank u so much for the tutorial. how do i add more corner pins so i can make a more custom shape? Or do i then need to use a different tracker?

[@team2films]

Corner pin can only ever have four corners. What kind of effect are you trying to make?

[@team2films]

That's kind of you. Thank-you. It's good to have you here.

[@Jaydoublyou]

What do we do for rounded edges here? thanks for the vid, subbed

[@team2films]

Add the rounded edges to the comp before applying to the screen. You can add them with a rectangle mask with rounded corners. You could apply it as an effect mask when merging with a transparent background. Hope that helps.

[@delmasskipper]

how to you project an image on a screen that's not perfectly square? I have rounded corners on my footage. Thank you!

[@team2films]

Same technique. Just one extra step. Add a mask to your 'screen' to mask the corners off.

[@TonyCaseyIRL]

Brill 👏

[@team2films]

Thanks Tony. Hope it's helpful.

[@murtazaabbas6718]

how do we blur the sides of the corner pins? they are too sharp.

[@team2films]

That's a great question! But it's already answered and demonstrated in the video :)

[@NINETY-97-SEVEN]

Hi! I'm not working in color managed workflow. I use CST's for my SLOG3 footage (CST 1 = slog3 to DWG | CST 2 = DWG to rec709) when color grading.. but the moment I go to fusion page it goes back to log footage so whenever I place vfx stuff in it the colors exposure etc etc don't match up.. any help would be appreciated!

[@team2films]

Colour operations happen after the fusion page operations. The Fusion page does not show your colour page operations. This is one of the advantages of using color management. It is performed before the media goes to the fusion page. If you need your footage to be colour managed inside the fusion page, either switch to RCM, or move your CST node to within your fusion comp. Alternatively, watch our latest video (Fusion Masterclass). We show how to integrate colour page grades into your Fusion compositions. Finally, check out @DavinciMasterKey She has an excellent video all about colour management when working in Fusion. Hope that helps. Let us know.

[@muhammadbakr1907]

are there any media files to be downloaded to go along with video ? thanks in advance

[@team2films]

No, sorry

[@tonyben-no7il]

thanks good job

[@team2films]

[@WalkingHeadPro]

what happens when someone is blocking the screen? like a shoulder or a cup? Why is a video I'm trying to drag on a screen not playing its full length? when dragged into the fusion comp, its about half its original length. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you

[@team2films]

Hello, if the screen is obscured you will have to either key, or manually rotoscope the object. Check the in and out points of the footage you are inserting in the inspector and the keyframe editor. Hope that helps!

[@GiuseppeFerro]

Any news about the future tutorial with improve the result with screen reflection?

[@team2films]

Hello! That's a good question. We'll shoot some new footage and queue that up for another lesson on screen replacement. No idea on when that will be scheduled though.

[@voiderashish272]

How to do the same on irregular surface or let the Object be triangular

[@team2films]

Irregular surfaces won't work with the planar tracker. Try the surface tracker instead. If you're working with a flat surface that is triangular, you'll want to mask the object you are applying to the surface.

[@yuryruban]

It's simple awesome!

[@team2films]

Ah you are too kind Yury. Thank you.

[@yuryruban]

@@team2films 😇Thank you too!

[@benhuff9592]

I have it almost perfect, but the last few frames I need to correct the tracking by hand, how do I do that?

[@team2films]

Hi Ben, thanks for watching. Is this issue with bad track data ruining the track? I.e. the intrusion of another object like a hand?

[@kellepangeri]

thaaaank you perfect

[@V-emm]

What should I do if the screen has basically nothing on it? i try working with the tracker but when it moves to the next frames all the tracking dots just disappear off screen! What do i do??

[@team2films]

Sometimes you can track by including the edges of the screen. You might need to add a hold out for the reflections on the middle of the screen. Basically it's difficult but not impossible. There is going to be way more manual work. Maybe we'll make a tutorial on tracking a featureless screens in the future.

[@Keydej]

how do we add the screen replacement tracking image

[@team2films]

Hello! I’m not sure what you mean?

[@renderhn]

Hi, Im scratching my head with ithis one as soon as I change to corner pin it stop working the corner dont move at all, it looks like a bug, have anyone figure this one out?

[@team2films]

Have you tracked the motion in your image?

[@DimmyV]

What if you don't have the tracking markers...

[@team2films]

It’s possible to track with the edges of the screen, or other features like logos or webcams. It does get more difficult though.

[@enricobersani8948]

is it possible to track a surface that doesnt stay tru all the footage?

Yes, you can start at the beginning and just track forward. We had to track both ways because we didn't start at the beginning.

Nothing ever happens when I use the planar tracker it just stays as the original and never puts another video over the tracked area

Have you changed the operation mode from track to something else?

[@movie-trailer19]

there would be more 👉reflexes from the glass👈 and completed.

[@team2films]

Using a black screen rather than a white screen means you can use the reflections in your final comp. That would be a better process. Check out our Fusion Master Class. We show that technique.
