The BEST Green Screen Tutorial for DaVinci Resolve 19

[@BaroneAlTavolo]

You tell us not only how, but WHY we should use a setting. Thank you!

[@coffeebeanstudio]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! :)

[@nguyenphan1928]

This tutorial is one of the best about keying green screen on the internet so far, you explained about it in a very detail and specific way to utilize the fundamental skills and mindset of new users when using and dealing with the software and situations that they are having. Thanks a lot for your works so far. Appreciate !! If can I hope that you can make more about VFX with fusion and the process from start to end. Your tutorials are really helpful

[@coffeebeanstudio]

Thank you very much 🙂

This is the best green screen tutorial on Resolve that I have found on the internet. Thanks!

[@coffeebeanstudio]

Thanks mate. I’m glad that it helped. ☺️

[@elliottsin]

Amazing tutorial. Best KZbin tutorial on green screens and keying by a long shot. Thank you for the in depth approach and explaining how tools operate and why you use them. There are many creators out there that only state what tool they use but not why - either because they don't see it necessary or because they themselves don't understand the tool. You go above and beyond sir! Subscribed and look forward to viewing more of your content. Thank you

[@coffeebeanstudio]

Oh thank you so much for the compliments, Elliott. I am glad you found the video useful. And thanks a lot for the coffees! :)

[@coffeebeanstudio]

[@Salt9696]

Incredible tutorial. I have a few questions that came up as I was following along: 1. How do I resize the foreground (the guitarist) image if needed when all is said and done? 2. How do I control the color-grading of the background? 3. How do I control the color-grading of the image as a whole? 4. What if I wanted to make changes to the length of either the foreground or background, how do I control them separately? Because the track in the editing page only shows the two images stacked. 5. What if I wanted to key frame the foreground to move across the screen? How do I have speed gate control of that?

[@coffeebeanstudio]

Hey mate. 1. You can resize the foreground image in the Edit page using the Inspector panel. Select the foreground clip (the guitarist), and adjust the Zoom or Position parameters to resize or reposition it. If you're working in the Fusion page, you can adjust the size using the Transform node after the keying process. Resizing does not affect the green screen keying itself, as long as the keyed-out area remains intact. 2. If you're working in the Fusion page, add a Color Corrector node or a Grading node directly to the background clip. If you're on the Color page, you can grade the background layer separately by selecting it in the timeline. Since the background is placed on its own track or node (separate from the keyed foreground), you can apply color adjustments independently without affecting the foreground. 3. To grade the entire composition (foreground and background together), you can do one of the following things - Add a Timeline Grade in the Color page. This applies a grade to everything on the timeline. Or Use an Adjustment Clip in the Edit page, positioned over your entire composition. Apply your color grade to the adjustment clip, which will affect everything beneath it. Or Alternatively, in the Color page, use a Post-Clip Grade for uniform adjustments across the timeline. 4. You can control the length of each layer individually on the Edit page. Ensure you’ve placed the foreground (keyed clip) and the background on separate tracks. Simply trim, retime, or extend each layer as needed using the Trim or Retime tools. If the tracks are stacked and grouped, unlink them first by right-clicking and selecting Decompose in Place (if applicable) to ensure independent control. 5. To animate the foreground Go to the Edit page, select the foreground clip, and open the Inspector panel. Use the Position controls to set keyframes for the starting and ending positions of the movement. To refine the speed and smoothness, open the Keyframe Editor or Curve Editor (accessible from the timeline toolbar). Here, you can adjust the interpolation of the keyframes, using easing options to create smooth motion. Alternatively, if you’re in the Fusion page, use a Transform node connected to the foreground and keyframe its position directly within Fusion’s timeline.

This is the best keying tutorial I’ve ever seen! I’ve been trying to find how to stop using after effects for my green screen work because it takes years to render out but I hadn’t been able to achieve a good key with Davinci resolve, that’s changed today! 👏👏👏 thank you so much!

Thank you so much! By far the best delta key video I've watched! You got any videos on the 3D keyer? I'd love to see that! The only thing I did differently (because I don't need to color correct my video) is used a "Despill" node instead of a color corrector node to get rid of the remaining green spill. Thanks again! I just subbed!

[@flaviomasson]

super thoughtful and well-paced tutorial, thank you! is it normal to do the manual rotoscoping? it made a lot of sense in the context of your demo/short clip, but wouldn't that get overwhelming for longer clips? thanks!

[@coffeebeanstudio]

Rotoscoping is a good skill to learn, but modern tools help simplify it. There are auto-roto tools, and the Magic mask for example which can automate the roto. I kept it basic so that it's understandable, but you'd normally want to make use of one of the other tools to help with roto.

[@opentothepublicpodcast]

your amazing the only issue I have is during your explanation of adding the background you skip to spill suppression with your background up already. I guess a lot of your viewer figured that part out but I was still never able to get my separate image to show up as my background.

[@coffeebeanstudio]

Thanks for watching. I am glad the video was helpful. Regarding the background, I thought I did mention that. It starts at 14:00. It really is just about adding the background to a merge node. If you are finding that step hard, please send me the node structure, and I'll take a look and let you know.

[@botchedphotoshop]

wow, this explained so much more than i expected. I've watched hours of tutorials on davinci resolve and i usually end up feeling so overwhelmed and even more confused, but i feel relieved after watching this one and i learned a lot. thank you SO much, this is such a fantastic tutorial. please keep making davinci tutorials, you're a great teacher!

[@NilanjanaChatterjee-j4m]

Thank you for this. However, I'm an absolute beginner. I struggled to find the delta keyer and how you got those two screens. I feel had you mentioned it step-by-step, I wouldn't have considered switching to another video.

[@fabianpufhan]

your tutorial is so great! I was able to follow u well and the auto caption (im deaf) was really good! only problem I have now is that after rendering the beautiful masking, I got bad masking, but while playback or at alpha channel, the video was great. do you have any suggestion why this happens? maybe I need to change something at render setting? let me know🙌🏻

[@fabianpufhan]

Not sure why but the color picker is non-responsive on my MacBook. In the system settings I've gone to Privacy and Security and allowed Screen & System Recording for DaVinci Resolve but that didn't seem to do it. Any other ideas? Many thanks for your great tutorials. One suggestion/request. Could you turn on the feature that shows your keyboard strokes in your screen recording? You use shortcuts that I often need to go search and figure out how to do. Simple things like Shift + Space bar to search for a tool. Many thanks.

Hi Thank you for the clear green screen keying video. However I do have more question what if the video cam moves during the green screen shoot? has it got to do with planar tracker.

[@richerworldproductions]

great tutorial, lots of information, but!!! How do you change the size of the elements? I have a huge character in a small background, that doesn't fit the screen. How do you change their sizes and make it look right in the scene?

[@coffeebeanstudio]

In fusion? Or in the edit page? If it’s fusion, you’ll need to add a Transform node after the element to change the size. In the edit page you can change the scale on the inspector on the right.

[@madamejam]

Awesome tutorial. Can you do a tutorial on tracking a green screen to match the footage ?

[@coffeebeanstudio]

Great suggestion!

[@RepaireroftheBreach]

Great tutorial! How does this compare to the 3D Keyer in the color page? I’ve noticed that footage keyed in the color page plays back much faster than the same footage keyed in fusion. Are there pros/cons to one method over the other?

[@coffeebeanstudio]

The fusion one is a lot more powerful. Try cache rendering the nodes in fusion to get the playback faster. As always if all you need is a quick key , the colour page is not a bad alternative. Just depends on how accurate you need the key to be.

[@jer3006]

Outstanding technique and explanation, thank you! But say instead of "Perfect Green Screening Keying...," I needed only "Semi-Perfect Green Screen Keying...," would Magic Mask with Tracking & a new Bkgd work fairly well? Since I would be in the Color page anyway, I could still reduce greens and yellows as a last step, like you did at 15:05, right? Sorry, I don't mean to detract from your awesome video here, and it is awesome, there is just a huge amount of knowledge required to make videos and all the options are often confusing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@coffeebeanstudio]

Hi Jer. Hope you have been well. Yes, for semi perfect keying, and for simple foregrounds (like the one in this video), the magic mask would work well. But consider a shot where you have many characters moving around (like some of the examples from the movies that I showed at the start of the video), that would be very hard to achieve using just a magic mask and tracking. Ultimately with anything in postprocessing, it helps to know all the tools we have access to, so that when it comes to completing a task, we can pick the best tool for the job. :) Thanks for watching! :)

Hi Javier. Thanks for following along. Apologies for rushing through that step. To merge with the delta keyer, you need to use a Merge Node. The inputs to the merge nodes will be the outputs of the Delta Keyer and the Footage node.

Hi Vikram, how are you. Thanks for a very good tutorial, Well explained and direct to the point. But I ran into a situation and I am Going Crazy here . Im trying to render my DR fusion keyed (delta) project for a client. Quicktime DNxHR 12 bits keeps givine me weird renders. So does Quiktime GoPro Cineform. I would really be great if you know the solution to this. I worked 2 days on this (should have done a test render in the beginning but never expected this). In DR everything looks fine but when rendered the keyed part is like half white and keeps moving. Best Regards, Adeep Oberoi!

H264, with hardware acceleration on its a mess, doesnt even honor the render in and out point, sometimes renders backround only, sometimes forgraound with a part white. But with hardware acceleration turned off it renders the H264 fine, even honors the in and out render point. Tried proress (without alpha) and it also does the weird alpha jittering in the render.
