You're welcome!

Inside the 3D plane under blend mode, choose the blend mode for which type of renderer you are using. If you are trying to blend in 3D I think the software renderer option might be the way to go. Of course that depends on what effect you are trying to achieve.

You are so welcome! I love what you are doing on your channel. It always makes my day when people find the videos useful. Thanks!

Thanks Simon! I really appreciate all you do as I know many others do. It is strange that many of those videos you put out over the past year I had never seen and I am subscribed to your channel! Especially since a common thread I see is people wanting more advanced Fusion tutorials.

You're Welcome! Thanks!

Thanks!!!

Thanks! Not too many videos out there but I did find another channel that has some more info: @darkwhite_productions here is a link to the video:th-cam.com/video/kNvZNhsedtg/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

Thanks!

You're welcome!

You're welcome! Thanks. So much great stuff out there!

I definitely will. There are so many great channels. Thanks for letting me know!

Thanks for the kind words!

I just checked with Blender 4.2.3 and latest Syntheyes and the defaults are working as expected. There is an option to change the versions in the export if you are using an early version of Blender. What versions are you using?

@@prophetless 4.2..the default path simply does not work. It doesnt even open blender. Could you somehow provide a picture/script how you referenced your version of blender? Mine is: C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\blender.exe

In the Blender Python Settings when you export. Put that file path in the Blender application box. So Syntheyes knows where to look.

@@prophetless Got it. Thanx

Awesome!

Wow, thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! It's funny you mention that. One of the next longer videos I am working on is exactly that.

Thanks! 😊

You're Welcome! Thanks!

In case it helps others. While in a "camera view", select a tracker(s), right click then under Attributes and you will find "Exportable".

Thanks! Sorry I didn't get around to respond earlier but it looks like you figured it out. 🙂 I haven't been having this issue as of today. The trackers, by default should be set to exportable. In the trackers Tab at the very bottom, there is a little checkbox In the solved area. But as you stated below right click menu also works!

Thanks! I'm getting ready to do another video and plan on using the surface tracker for part of it. I'll have to look into those changes. That would be unfortunate if they got rid of the option to rotate the points.

@@prophetless I decided to check how Surface Tracker works on Color Page and it works exactly as in your video, but on Fusion page even vertices look different, you can select them only with rectangular selection and I haven't found a way to scale or rotate them, only move. I'm on Davinci 19.0.3. and found a discussion on Reddit: "Surface tracker in Fusion Issues" in ver 18.6. People complain about too big points on Fusion page and normal size on Color page. It looks like now they just changed the way points work on Fusion page, but left them the same on Color Page. I hope at least tracking algorithm is the same on both pages.

Interesting. Maybe it will go back in the next update. At least I hope. Sometimes they fix one thing and break another. 🙂

@@prophetless Maybe.

Thanks!

You're Welcome!

Nope. I prefer Syntheyes for my 3D tracking but you can use whatever you want.

You're Welcome!

You're Welcome! and thanks! The first thing I can think of is that the keyframes are offset. Which will make it not work properly. Check the frame numbers to see if the keyframes are somewhere else and you can move them into place. That is very common, usually it's just one frame but if you have frames starting at something like frame 1000 in syntheyes you wouldn't see them in Blender. The other thing that is very common is what versions of both software you are using. Exports and Import scripts change over time. Let me know if any of that helps.

Thank you! 😊

Thanks for the follow! I'm glad you like the videos! More to come soon...

The core part of the course does not use any reactor plugins. In some of the project based examples we use some, but they are not necessary and we talk about both ways to do it. In the full version of the course some reactor plugins will be added in the reference section in the future.

@@prophetless ok thx a lot. I have no issue using reactor plugins. In fact I appreciate if you use it and introduce them in the course

You're welcome!

It's not on the youtube server but there are subtitles for Spanish, French and German. I can add more if there are any other specific languages you are looking for.

@@prophetless I am personally interested in Polish subtitles, but I suspect that subtitles in many other languages ​​would be useful, e.g. Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, etc. It would be necessary to track which countries are most interested in producing special effects. However, there is always a risk that a translation will be used by far fewer people than the work that went into making it.

I am looking into a solution for this. Hopefully soon there will be a lot more languages.

Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying the course and videos! Yes it is up to date with resolve 19. So things like intellitrack are in there. This is pretty much just Fusion. One of the Real world projects does get into compositing multi pass renders from Blender though.

I checked the courses, the project files are included, I should have checked. What does "and Reference" mean in " 4 complete courses in one: Essentials, 2D Compositing, 3D Compositing and Reference"?

Thanks! Yes absolutely! The project files come with the downloads in the course.

The Reference is a an ongoing collection of short videos to help refresh your memory or add more information on nodes and processes. This will continue to grow over time. You can look at the list of videos on the website to get an idea of what kinds of things are being added.

I don't have one yet. Maybe soon!

I tried to keep the price down as much as possible. There are standalone options which are significantly less expensive than the Full course. Right now you can get 15% off, I'm sure there will be more sales in the future and maybe some contests.

The course covers a lot more than the Black Magic's website course. The course is designed for beginner to intermediate, but we do ultimately get into things like multi pass compositing which is more advanced. The full version of the course will also be constantly growing due to user input.

@@prophetless Sounds great. Thank you 😀

You're welcome

Depends on the situation, every shot is different. Tracking markers can be really helpful some times.

You're welcome!

Thanks. I think it's getting better, last time I was on set they actually listened! 😀 Or maybe that was a one off. 🙁

Yes it does, but when we did the paint for the cleanup we started getting holes in our paint. That's because the edges of the image can be transparent after it is stabilized in some situations. Removing the first planar tracker and using a still frame instead is just another approach to object removal that you can use if you run into issues like transparent pixels. Around 13:50 it's discussed.

@@prophetless Does that mean, the steady part is actually just for our paint process ? and it needs to be remove either way, because we are going to invert the stabilization ?

To the first question yes. We are stabilizing the video to make it easier to paint. You could track each one of the clone strokes to match the movement but you may find that to be more complicated. On the second question there is no need to remove the stabilized planar tracker(the first one) if you are not getting holes in your paint. A lot of times you will not have that problem. Using a still frame as opposed to a stabilized plate is a possible solution for when you do have those issues(transparent pixels). The draw back of using a still frame is you usually need to add back in grain and may have color variations if the lighting changes in the scene.

You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful! Comments like yours are what makes it worth it to do these videos. Thanks!

@@prophetless keep up the quality content! you're helping (literally) thousands of people get better every day by sharing what you already know in an understandable and well structured way :)

Thanks! More to come soon.
