[@chamindajayaratne]

How to add an immage inside the text in follower modifier tool?

[@Zain_A_S]

It' sick to see how far you have come! Your loyalty to Davinci has inspired me !

[@bertiebuttercup]

I'm so glad I finally found your video, I've been struggling with this follower modifier trying to get it to work with a centre X and Y all day, thank you *so* much for making this!

[@jer3006]

Jake, this video helped me understand better the video you released describing the Editor Collection section about the Wipp Text tool Follower feature. Thank you.

[@wearetrackclub]

Great walkthrough, Jake! Super easy to follow. Really nice effect :) 👏

[@firesightstudios5823]

Nice video Jake, I also just learned recently that you can "Anim Curves" different properties on the Follower to great effect. Some of the parameters don't quite work (Shear) but most of them do. This has made creating Text Presets a breeze for me

[@raccoonair]

Great tip and clip; thanks for sharing.

[@englishcitykorea]

Thank you so much!

[@zaki6037]

Hey Jake, I just wanted to say thank you for your awesome video about followers in davinci resolve. I learned a lot from it and I really appreciate your clear and helpful explanations. You are the best youtuber for davinci resolve tutorials and I always look forward to your new videos. Keep up the great work!

[@JakeWipp]

Hey thanks alot!

[@heliosousa8518]

Cool modifier, future of caracteres coming soon🎉

[@xuanduc-teresachoir5372]

Thank you, your teach is easy to understand and i can do it. Thank you agian

[@4t7k58]

Thanks for the video. There is one thing that I am desperately looking for, and that is word hy word follower animation.

[@jaanpotter7124]

Great Tip!

[@wimdg4230]

Simple but genius idea to visually indicate the location and value of the keyframes on the timeline !! Love all your videos! Just shot the footage for the basketball trick shot video with my 14y son this weekend!! :-))

[@JakeWipp]

Hey thanks for the kind words! I hope the trick shot turns out great!

[@tyler.t.seaman]

I WANT TO SEE THE REALIZATION MOMENT! Great video though, and I agree: this node could be way more refined in the interests of drawing AE users over to Fusion. Maybe by 19 we'll get it!

[@BRABS-filmt]

Very nice Video !!! Cool Effect !

[@JakeWipp]

Thank you!

[@RalphKohler]

Well, that was a great video.

[@user-ox5vk8cd7k]

Seriously keep it up

[@juanmacastro90]

Hi Jake, thanks for all your tutorials. How do you make the transition from full screen to the masked crop video (circule, rectangle video) Thanks!

[@JakeWipp]

If you are referring to when my camera goes down into the bottom corner of the screen that is using the WippCam tool from the EditorCollection. It's the same pack as the WippText tool that I showcased in this video!

[@ALPHA-wh3ej]

3:28 HOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIT THIS SICK 🤯

[@hadirazmi]

Could you teach us how to do the jittery, slow shutter delay text effect? It's like how Ali Abdaal does his text animations.

[@mattpryor9014]

Jake. Dude. I was lost on why my follower wasn't working. Turns out, I just needed a keyframe!

[@rossscobievideographer53]

Would be good to gi through all the different options when you right click in text + box

[@human_support]

Thanks for your work! Please tell me what kind of plugin or setting is that makes the picture just move chaotically while hanging in the air? Example timecode 04:29

[@JakeWipp]

Absolutely! For that I use my animation tool from the EditorCollection (WippAnimate)

[@chamindajayaratne]

How to add an immage inside the text in follower modifier tool? Please explain.

[@tvchris]

Follower is great. My only wish for each release: Add PER WORD animation.

[@JakeWipp]

Yes!!!! If they add that it instantly becomes way more useful!

[@ainkaspi9178]

They do this, but only for transform :o Color still per char xd

[@nfxproject]

Great content as always! I have a quick question for you, how can we create 2 shapes that are dynamically positioned accordingly? For example, If I am trying to create two titles and I want them to always keep the same space between them regardless of size/scale. How can we do that? In A.E it's so easy to do this relative positioning of objects, but I can't find a way in fusion

[@JakeWipp]

Thanks! If you are talking about making the delay amount the same between each character just set the Delay type to Between each character

[@user-gi4ce6ub2n]

how do i do it word by word ? i mean first "follower" will be reveal and next " modifier"

[@2424rocket]

I want to see follower combined with character level styling. Meanwhile - back to After Effects. How about flicker effect - that's very "in" now.?? At this point, follower is just gimmicky. You would never see this in a national commercial.

[@shareddreams7000]

I want only The wipptext is possible?

[@JakeWipp]

I do not sell the templates individually, even if you just use one or two of the tools it can still pay for itself!

[@chrisb5823]

Text animation and control is the weakest part of DR for me and hasn't really gotten better in years.

[@HarisCupina]

davinci is terrible with hiding features in sub-menus omg what is up with that. Its like click here, then click here, after that go and click here, and you enabled the feature, and all of that is hidden in 3 different places at once, which is a bummer :( P.S. Awesome video !

[@JakeWipp]

Haha! There are just a ton of options!

[@maddogrk1]

From 3:22 to 3:34 was not clear and I could not get your result

[@unaseditor]

Can i make your thumbnail?

[@PeterMeterOfficial]

When I go to fusion I always get a clip inside but I want it empty! How do I open fusion without any clip selected???

[@GvK-wb2nc]

Nice and fast ... BUT where is the safety on Media and Timelines ? One f....g corrupt file can freeze your timeline. One missing file and your Customer is gone... Editing is not about speed it is about creation and safe projects over a long time period. AVID is not so fast and the media handling is complicated but it is the safety way for a good product. Use resolve for color grading that is the software BM has bought and it is one of the best thinks you can buy... the rest is crap in a professional manner. ( Editing for 30 years, with all kind of machinery.)

[@JakeWipp]

Hey! I totally see your point! In my experience using Premiere and Davinci I have found Davinci to be way more stable and in the event of a crash I can get everything back. At the very worst losing 15 min of work. The features that help with that are Project backup and live save. I haven't used Avid before so maybe that has even better features!

[@ogyyoutube]

if you add a stroke to text, it doesn't animate the stroke with follower modifier lmao

[@JakeWipp]

Hey! Do you know if you have the latest version installed? If so reach out via my website and I'll get this issue fixed!

[@2424rocket]

You explain things very well… But there’s no way I’m moving my text work from after effects to fusion. Or as we like to call it… ConFusion. As strictly a text tool nothing on the planet can touch after effects. For our editing we absolutely love resolve. And of course no color correct can compete with it. And we kept stopping your video to try to figure out where that noise was coming from… When it comes to mixing in music you don’t seem to understand it. We don’t need music behind your voice we wanna hear every word you have to say and that noise you put in there is completely distracting. It’s not a drama and we’re not gonna get up and dance so… Get rid of the music. Looking forward to all your future videos.

[@JakeWipp]

Hey! Definitely agree with you that After Effects is really good with Text! I think Fusion can get there eventually! As far as my videos I'm always working on improving. I usually end up going with whatever I think looks/sounds good because at the end of the day it's art. I'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind!
