Casey, I have followed your training for quite a while, through most of the upgrades. Stop using Final Cut a few years ago based on your videos. Being 75 YOA, you made this conversion very easy for me. I have even converted many of my Vietnam Super 8 films to DaVinci with great ease. All I can say is, Thank You!

Love watching you work through a mini project. Not only do I pick up the main points, but a lot of the minor tips and techniques in your workflow. Thanks for a great video!

This content is appreciated so much. i legit just let you autoplay in background as im working just because i pick up topics that grab my attention throughout your videos even if the topic isnt something i htink im ready to learn or use in my current low rank kind of work, you have a way of making it seem relevant to use or implement/practice. so thanks for everything youve done and continue to do for the beginner community

This is a great tutorial. This is the type of medium level of Fusion technique that a lot of fusion users like me want to learn to make advance on fusion. KEEP UP GREAT WORK.

I feel honored that this tutorial is meant as a intermediate course and I understood everything. But this comes from a good teacher who explains it very well even for beginners. Good job, love it!

Awesome tutorial! I'd love to see more of these intermediate tutorials. The comedy thrown around throughout, is perfect!

omg i love this. im 3 days into editing. like actually my first video editing software and youve made it a blast. i know im skipping ahead but as long as your videos are up ima just keep exploring till i know everything ! thanks guy !!!!

I am rotoscoping in Fusion now, so seeing your process was really good. Thanks for sharing.

I love that I can jump on KZfaq, and solve any problem I have by typing it in and you have a world-class video for it. Cheers m8

Randomly viewing your videos, I am amazed how your instructions are relevant. Too many tutorials, be they Photoshop, CaptureOne, or Davinci Resolve, teach basic, but relatively useless items. Your tutorials address real-world items. Great!

we are so grateful youn exist Casey, thank you so much for your time and effort!

Thanks Casey for the video. It's always pleasure to learn from you. Keep'em coming. #2

@Casey Faris thank you so much for all your videos. I have a few videos that I would never have been able to complete without the information I've been able to glean from your videos!

This is soooo helpful. Great to see some intermediate training videos. Thanks for everything you do.

The best Davinci fusion channel out there

Thank you for leaving the mistakes in. Those pop up all the time and it's so helpful to know how to work through them. I like the idea of using a colored background when masking. Adds a bit of contrast to help guide the process. For the drop shadow, couldn't you use the text instead of an ellipse? Might make more sense if they shadow were more prominent.

Amazing tutorial. Very useful skills, presented in an easy to follow way, and of course great example with explanations for a lot of different problems one might encounter. I loved the pidgeon sound too. You're great, Casey!

always wondered how to do this on da vinci! Your videos taught me so much about editing and i love that you still have more to teach

Really great job - you're a natural at this.

I know this is an older video, but amazing, I love that you included the troubles, and troubleshooting

Loved this and would love to see more intermediate Fusion tuts!!

Absolutely awesome.

I made the leap to Resolve for editing and coloring a few years ago, but have been resistant to relearn compositing in Fusion. I've got a screen replacement I need to do, and this video has given me the kick in the pants I need to try to do it right in Fusion rather than going out to After Effects. Thanks!

Amazing! Really, really awesome.

Fascinating!! I'm fairly new to all this, but I think I could do this given your outstanding tutorial! Can't wait to try! Thanks so much!

This is soooo helpful.

Many thanks! You are the best!

Thank you kind sir for all your easy to understand tutorials :)

Great one. Thank you!

Being a noob in fusion, but worked a lot in Premiere and After Effects, just seeing that stuff to the left and right of the text node works like having something on top or below, helped ALOT for my confidence to start working with Fusion!

Casey that was superb! Even I might be able to do one of those and fusion does unnerve me a bit…. Thank you!

Incredible! I'm amazed

Great tutorial !

Dude you totally crack me up!

It would have been basics, but handling that bird brought this video to another level! 👍

Thank you for this awesome explainer - I learned a ton about Fusion!

Great tutorial.

THANK YOU!! I was literally searching for this type effect for like 6 straight days

Thank you! Indeed, very useful!

Great tutorial. Thanks!!

Just made my first roto scope on my iPad. Thank you Casey. Although the planar tracker didn’t work and my roto was not perfect, but I’m happy with what I made.

Very cool!

A+ tutorial I always learn something new.

I got up at 4am and caught this video fresh out of the oven.... TASTY!

Such a good tutorial, thanks so much!

Excellent tutorial, keep on making them courses man too !

This video is so great. Thanks!

As a newbie to DR, it's great to see how simple it is to do stuff like this - once you're more familiar with the tool 👍

We're ready for this. Bring it on! I wonder how hard it would be to composite something post-apocalyptic, like a trash fire or meteor crater, into the background to balance out the sweet wholesomeness.

great content (y) , would love more of these intermediate style tutorials

This helps a lot, thanks!

Very cool!!

Hell yeah Casey! This is what we want. Save that blender stuff for another channel - this is great.

im saving this video. after working on davinci resolve for... a bit too long... this video highlights everything ive wanted to know how to do but have settled with very off manual keyframing

COOOL... dude,i gotta try using this :D

Epic. Exactly the tutorial I needed for a video… a month ago. Got a time machine? 😁 Looking forward to including this in my next project! As always, love your work mate. Thank you.

great man!!!!!!

thank you so much

Thank you

Great Video. The best bit? Where it went wrong. So informative, and when I make that mistake, now I'll recognise it. Good job, Casey.

Fun stuff.

Dude I got so into the bird masking that I forgot about the Tuesday text. This was a seriously helpful video to see how the pros do it. Preeesh.

Hey fellow KZfaqr here! Your videos are so so great! I watched almost all of them, even if I don’t plan to go so advance on DR. I now want to make a new intro for my channel, and want to make an object (my logo in 3d) rise out of the ocean water. I know it sounds complicated, but would be greatly appreciative of any advice! I searched the internet, but did not find anything useful. Thanks so much for all your effort!

Ok this is epic

Nice video

I know this is a year old, but a REALLY good trick is to stabilize the footage so the bird so its "centered" making the roto work extremely easy. then a few nodes down the pipe, un stabilize the footage along with the roto. "lockdown" is the best investment Ive ever made for this stuff. for those of you who want to dig in a little deeper. fusion is a life saver

Cool, ty!))

Thanks...

Nice

Love your videos Casey! Any chance to make the video clip you used in the example available to us so that we can follow along? Cheers.

thanks

Hey man, I love your videos. Will u tell me where can i download the exact footage, which you have used in the video for my practice. Thanks in Advance.

Casey bravo!But as in this case you could have used the text an inverted mask on the video track. Also if you want to show how to follow an object using a simple shape as in this case, in Fusion with the right click you can directly publish the mask points as a tracker and follow the bird😉

Thank you very much for your tutorial and all your hard work to make this video.i am wondering if there is much easier and faster way to do rotoscoping the bird by one click instead of doing it manually,like in color page with one click it track person and object . Thank you very much

nice video , u and billie rybbka are awesome DR Ytuber

Awesome video, how did you do the effect of zooming in and following the cursor (on 6:21)?

W content

Wow! That is a pretty intense tutorial and one of the best. I do have a challenge for you. I am trying to use fusion for my Planetside 2 videos. I been struggling to find ways to make the text follow vehicles and aircraft when they fire. I really want to add text above tanks and jerk as the tank jerks when it fires its cannon. I think H Anchor might have to do with it but i am still very new to editing. A video on this type would help me out greatly.

Really good! Would love to see how to do a longer bit of, or advanced, rotoscoping, especially when chromakeying isn't an option. For example, i do video game clip vides for Elder Scrolls Online and sometimes I want to do skits and such. Unfortunately there's no tools to remove the background or way to set up a "green screen" type effect. How hard would it be to rotoscope something like that?

nice

*Man grabbing kid's shoulder while laughing. Casey: What a great dad. Thanks for the tutorial!

The longer I look at the word Tuesday the more foreign it becomes...great tutorial

Hey man, would you mind doing a tutorial on how to do the black veins effect in fusion? Like the veins in the body of the talent slowly turn black? Thanks!

A tutorial for getting a clean plate from a moving video with people would be sooooo nice

This is fantastic! Thank you for not cutting out blunders from this tutorial. BTW, zoom effects with the mouse are great, but quick zoom-in, moving around with the mouse, and then zooming out is a bit distracting. I watch your stuff full screen on my 38 inch display anyway, I can see ALL details just fine - including the reflection of you in the eyeballs of the son and dad in the sample footage. 🤣

good video, but now with davince 18.5 is can you take the pigion out with the magic mask? if yes, can you make a video how :D

Wonderful tutorial, but LOL … it took me about 20 minutes to realise that the stockvideo you used was shot in one of the more famous places in my hometown vienna.

Wow, you are a Resolve Wizard ;) Btw I expect it would be much harder to achieve a similar result with After Effects with layers?

I'm new to all of this, but I remember seeing after effects have rotobrush 2.0 and the equivalent of it being something like Magic Brush (i think) for DR. I've never actually used any of these but the names sound like something you would use to roto-something lol. are those tools used for a different thing?

Does the END TO END work for Resolve 18? And do you need the PRO/paid version? 17 is advertised. Thanks, Casey Faris!

Great one! I probably would have been lazy and put the text somewhere in the frame, where it is supposed to be in front of Mr. Polly Pidgin. But now, how could you create a little 3D effect for the text? Not shiny, glossy 3D.. just a little volume for the text, as if there really where there whilst shooting.

This was a good tutorial, but there should be a mention of how much easier this task is with Magic Mask, either using Fusion or in the color tool -- If you have the Studio version.

Thank you Casey, great video, i have the M1 Max. I am rotoscoping in fusion on a 4k raw image, kinda need good playback to see if the scope follows the footage. Its not going smooth on my macbook M1. The mask is not updating always and I need to click a corner of the mask every time for it to update, and sometimes the mask is updating but the background image is not (stuck). Is there a way to make this work?

Hey casey! Really appreciate this tutorial, but I have a question, what if I wanted to only have the bird out of that whole shot?

Hello casey. I hope you are doing well . I want to ask if there any tutorial about how to track masks in fusion ،sth like magic mask or mask tracking in the colour tab ,but for fusion

Intermediate tutorials!

Is there a way to use the Object selection from the color page to make the selection of the pigeon easier and add that tracking data to the Planar Transform?

Yeeeey

I am doing a bunch of track and replace screens for a video I'm working on, has anyone ever run into the problem where you create a mask and use a planar transform to move the mask, but sometimes to the mask either shrinks with the planar transform and the control handles / vertices become too small to manipulate or the mask disappears altogether? The mask still does its job, the interface for manipulating it just disappears? Also thank you for making these videos Casey I have in fact learned almost everything I know about Fusion from watching your tuts, as soon as i finish this project I am going to buy your series and go through it.
