This video we go over how to use the Planer Tracker and the various ways you can track objects in your footage. This is helpful for screen-replacements, sticking callouts to items, or any other instances where you need to attach something to an element in your video. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
![SCREEN REPLACEMENT IN FUSION - DaVinci Resolve 16 Tutorial [Beginners Welcome!]](/img/n.gif)
Your tutorials keep getting better and better. I’ve learned so much since picking up Resolve a few months ago. Thanks and keep it up!
Mind blown by just how much I learn from you EASILY.. in 8min 40sec. Your incredible man. Thankyou for all you do. Big help
Compliments of the Season. Totally watch your tutorials both for skills and entertainment. Thanks Casey
Such a helpful tutorial, Casey, I'll be using this in my job today thanks to your very clear explanation
Thanks a lot. Glad you covered the text pinning stuff. Makes videos look so much more interesting and impressive than lower thirds or something.
Many thanks, I watched few videos from others until yours solved my problem! Very detailed and helpful.
idk how you make your tutorials this entertaining but they are a masterpiece. Actually enjoying learning rn
Totally in awe of Casey's skills. The problem for me is that it feels like someone who can do basic arithmetic watching a video on how to do advanced calculus. Never mind, it's inspiration to improve my skills. Thanks once again, Casey.
Start with the basics and then start learning more difficult stuff
Great Video!
Tip: if you click any empty space in the node graph, then when you add something like the planer transform node, it will appear in the node graphe wherever you clicked before adding it. 😉
I like the planar tracker in fusion so much. Thanks for your videos! 👍
It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.
Awesome guide, I'm gonna use on my videos for sure! Thank you Casey
Smashing it Casey, thank you! On your way to one million subs...
This helped a lot thank you
Very useful! I've used the trackers many times, and I still try to figure out how it works on every occasion...
Thank Casey! Would love to see more about the planar tracker. Like what happens when your subject overlaps the screen? The corner pin won't work?
Great information and insight of planar tracking - thanks a lot!
Great feature, now I just need to find an application- all a lot of fun ! - thanks again legend
How did you k ow I needed this for my current video! 😲 Thank you for this amazing vid! 😁👍
Bro thanks so much for this video!!! I'm going nuts compositing rn and this really helps!!!
Awesome as usual. Thank you!
simply phenonal
Dude! I love your stuff! Hilarious and brilliant and great cat love. Thanks.
very interesting! I need to practice it
Very usefull for CTAs and Graphics
Very awesome tutorial. Thanks you.
thanks for info Casey, your videos are awesome and so helpful sir
Thanks! Great and helpful as ever!
I love your videos man.. big help.. bless u
Thanks for the video Casey, it was fun tracking with you. 😉
Great tutorial. But in all those tutorials, people use footage, that works easily with the planar tracker. I still miss a tutorial for a shot, where the tracking doesn't work for some frames and how to fix this. If you're looking for a tutorial idea ;) Otherwise, thanks for your videos!
That's the one problem I'm facing right now. I also need to add motion blur to that picture and do the color grading (of the picture).
very helpful! Thanks!
Funny hum!😅 Loved it
Thanks for this wonderful tutorial. I have to do some logo replacement and tracking on employees shirts. Might need Boris FX Mocha as some of the motion is crossing foreground.
interesting! For now I only used it for stady function but this is also great. thx
Thanks, espacially the tip with the mask. Cheers Casey.
Thank you very much
Thanks!
Too funny I love you self sarcasm !! Great videos I learn a boat load from you and Alextech and jayaretv
I appreciate your work and your channel. I've grown as a result
TIP: if someone is using a screen that isn't green/with the tracking markers, then, in the Planar Tracker Inspector, go to the "Options" tab, and redefine the color it should be looking for under the "Color" twirl-down option. Use the eye dropper to select the screen color. Mine was black-ish, and that worked for me because it was default to green and didn't work at first. Thanks!
This tip helped me fix an issue with the tracking. Thanks so much.
thx bro
Couldn't agree more!
Love Casey's videos. I'd love to see a video of tracking an erratically moving object. I have footage where I am trying to blur a logo on a object that moves all directions from a central point, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Trying a power window tracker in the colour tab it tracks good for the first few seconds, then goes all over the place. Even when I set a power window over something larger & more contrasty than the black on red logo & has the same movement, try and track it, then move the window after the tracking is done doesn't work.
I tried the regular tracker in fusion, and made the search box quite a bit bigger than the pattern box -this worked for about 45 seconds of the one minute video (and took a long time!) then it totally lost the area being tracked.
So if you're looking for another idea for a video, tracking an erratically moving object would be a good one!
thanks ❤ can you refine the analyzed points on frame by frames?
Thanks for the Video. I find that for camera Tracking the Planar Tracker ist much faster and often more reliable than Fusions 3D camera Tracker.
Excellent tutorial! All I need to know in one tutorial! But the main problem showed up when I had footage where hand was crossing a little bit on the bottom of the screen and my tracker was lost. I do not have any solution for that yet!
"and obviously I'm gonna use this cat..." 3:04 OMG LOL LOL LOL
Great intro. One thing that I have tried (and failed miserable) is to use Fusion to stabilize a clip. Especially in the case when the clip is a pan and no single point is in the view all the time so would seem to need to "stack" multiple trackers to handover to each other. Humble suggestion for a follow-on tutorial?
Amazing, Casey! Question: would this be the tool to use say if I wanted to track a moving person in a video and make him have an outline glow every time he triggers an event?
You might want to use a matte for that...like a greenscreen or rotoscope, then you can add different effects to the mask edges and would suit that need.
I don't normally comment on these tutorial videos but I really enjoy yours. They have been a great help with Fusion so, thank you!
I do have an issue and maybe you can just point me to a video. I have a TV in footage that is behind an object (a cymbal) in a shot. I have tried numerous ways to have something display on that TV but when the cymbal moves in front of the TV, it goes under/behind the planar and/or mask. I have this working well in other shots (different camera angle) where the screen of the TV is not obstructed but cannot figure out how to make it work right. Thoughts?
Love these videos. Is it possible to track for just a brief amount of time in a clip? Say there's a 30 second clip and you want to track something from 5 seconds to 10 seconds and then something else from 20 sec to 30 sec?
Hi,
Thanks for all of your videos.
I would like to track something which is only on screen for a few mins out of a many mins video.
All of the tutorials seem to track from frame to end.
I know the frame the item appears and the frame it goes.
Can I only track for that part of the movie?
I used Davinci for a while about a year ago , and then life changed. Now I have a chance to play around with AV again and try to remember what I learned last year :)
Any tips would help a lot.
Thank you.
Hi, great video! One question: Would a planar transform inherit the information from a corner pin? l've tried using the planar transform for text where corner pin is required but it doesn't seem to work for me.
Okay you the only one I have confidence in for this. If I use a vertical timeline 1080x1920. But out wide 4k footage and try to planner track and stabilize. How can I keep the footage within the 1080x1920 ratio?
Hi Casey, I've had an issue when applying this method...everything worked fine, but when I try to insert "Media In2" ( which replaces green screen) , the inserted video does not begin from its start, neither from marked "in and out" markers... how can I insert a video from a specific time? Thank you so much for your help, you do great videos 👍👋
Love to track with you 🤪
How can I handle Objects that leave the screen? Is there a way to adjust the Keyframes manually?
Hi. Would you know what to do if what the Planar Tracker needs to track change over a video? Like You start the video tracking a hand then you need to track someone's face? Do i have to do them as separate fusion videos?
Casey, thanks for pulling together some of the ways of using tracking.
I often get confused what to use and where to use it. For example, I know that the Color page offers tracking as well. I believe that you can add an image as you did in just the Color page. The Color page also has both Magic Mask and tracking via using shapes… (can’t remember the name, sorry). My point is that I often don’t know where to begin, i.e., Fusion or Color page. Perhaps the evolution of DR is such that it keeps adding things here and there and overlaps exists. Surely the Color page is phenomenal for a Colorist. It’s only natural that Magic Mask lives here. I am puzzled why it’s not also in Fusion, right?
Clearly, I have much to learn. I have to assume that, over time, I’ll have attained a greater understanding of Fusion and the Color page and use them for their designed intent. Now, I’m a bit lost.
I always appreciate your videos and humor.
From my experience, you want to build in Fusion and modify in color. So you would build a screen replacement in Fusion but you'd change the color of the screen (typically...you can do color in Fusion to some extent) in color, often using a power window to select which part you want to change. Working in the color page, I find, is easier to learn but it's also very limiting. Once Fusion starts to click, it becomes oh so powerful. You can also do a lot of this in edit. You can do audio in edit. But there is so much to be gained from doing things in the "correct" page.
@@HikingWithCooper Thank you for providing you insight. I totally agree with everything you said. When editing audio, it’s crystal clear that Fairlight is where you should be; tons of precise control. Sure, I currently find Fusion a bit difficult to understand but I’m getting better. It’ll take soon time and usage for me to pull it all together.
Cheers!!
Thanks, Casey. Would the same work flow apply when using video clips vice stills for the screen replacement?
Yes. Any visual media source will work.
Nice info! One issue I keep running into is that I shoot with a wide aperture and the background is out of focus. My background tracking points do a crazy dance most of the time.
Tracking works best when the target area is sharp and high contrast! Otherwise, you’d probably have better results doing it by hand
I record shaky sports footage. What I would like to know, is how to smooth thing out when the quick stabilization tool isn't enough. If I simply use the planar tracker to stabilize an area, than the footage looks too stable and unnatural, with that point being completely fixed. Is there a way to LIMIT the amount of stabilization (and so reduce the cropping), smoothing out the movements of the frame relative to a given point?
i'm trying to put in a video instead of an image into the planar tracker but its not working, is there a fix? using images works for me, so im pretty sure i did everything right...
Hi Casey thanks for your content. Can you show us how to track à Green screen in davinci resolve for a virtual studio please.
Thanks à lot and keep going your funny persona is your branding and we like it
When I try to draw on the screen I get a single tracking line. When you say "I click around the screen", are you using a qualifier key or just clicking the mouse? Are you right clicking or left clicking?
Is it possible to create a motion flyer, for Instagram, for example, in Davinci Resolve as in After Effects?
Hey Casey, I need help with fusion's planar tracker. Every time I press track till the end of a video clip it just sits there and does nothing. I am using the free version of resolve 18 on windows. Is there a solution?
Btw thank you for the videos they really help.
Question, what if my green screen video doesnt have the track points? Does this still work?
can trhis work with video aswell instead of just a picture?
Once again, that one goes into the “Saved” folder!
I think it's also worth noting that it would have been really nice if that person's left shoulder overlapped the laptop screen so we could mask the laptop screen out using the shoulder. It was kinda done with masking the text using the computer screen though.
Agreed. Or have the screen leave the, uh, screen. It's a pretty easy fix but it would be helpful to show how it's done.
How do you make OBS follow the cursor?
Does anyone know how to do motion tracing for the background? I have just moved from Adobe to Davinci but I still cannot figure out how to do the motion track with a background - as I have a moving camera.
Anyway can we get a spec of the computer you use?
Thanks so much for tNice tutorials ssage
Casey- Absolutely love your videos and coming from the learning and dev field I highly commend you on your teaching skills. Wish more TH-cam tutorial publishers would listen and learn how effective teaching is done by watching your content. I have an issue that I am not able to find any videos or explanations on: How do you do screen replacement in Resolve 18 when the screen becomes partially or temporarily obstructed? I have a scene for a short film I'm editing and the lead character temporarily blocks part of the screen I am trying to replace. I don't want to remove the character obviously, I just want it to look normal when she passes in front of the screen or partially blocks it. Help! From searching on YT I am inferring that it has something to do with rotoscoping, but I wish there was simply a step by step demonstration video showing what to do when the replaced screen in the case where there's a partial or momentary obstruction (which is also important to the scene, so it cannot be removed). Thanks if and when you could reply! -from Japan
Boy that's tricky. Usually you would have to manually fix the track if something goes in front, then roto or use green screen techniques to put your screen behind the fg elements. Not an easy task.
@@CaseyFaris Thanks Casey. Ugh - the challenge is as hard as I feared. I'm still in the learner stage of Resolve, so I certainly don't have any fancy roto skills. I'll give you a little more detail in case you can give me any specific suggestions. We view the actor from behind as she's watching a large screen TV. A small corner portion of the TV is blocked by her head. In another shot in the same scene, the whole TV is viewable but then she holds up the remote control to change the channel, and for that brief moment her hand/remote blocks a tiny portion of the TV. Anyway, I appreciate that you replied to my question, as I'm in the thick of this edit. As a last resort of course I'll be forced to just cut around the shots. UPDATE-- finding little breadcrumbs hinting at solutions, but nothing clear enough for me to follow and apply to my problem-- it seems to be related to "occlusion masking" and rotoscoping. But I don't know how to apply those at my level without a tutorial. -James
"man this tutorial is way more clear then the guy that did the review with all the toast references n stuff, glad to have found hi-.... oh"
all workеd
Okay cool and all, but wht does this not work when I try tp put a video, not a still image, over my planar tracker??
HI Casey, I did something to my fusion page? and now when I try to track nothing happens... I've looked everywhere for a solution and even rest Resolve , I was hoping you may have some insight. I follow all the steps in this video, once I set the time and press track to the end nothing happens. It worked before now nothing? I've even started a new project and tried to track same result
When I route the image to the planar tracker after setting the corner pens, nothing happens. Anyone know why?
For some reason, I did the exact same thing for the text, but when I created the mask and added the tracking data and inverted it and everything, the text wont stick behind the mask.
Can you put videos into the planar tracker?
Hi Casey, quick question. What screen capture software do you use or recommend. I've been using OBS studio and it's kind of clunky, free but clunky. Is there another that is more run and gun?
I use OBS
@@CaseyFaris ok maybe I just need to get a little more familiar with it. Thanks
so romantic tutorial
Maybe it is just me, but since Resolve 18 came out with the Surface Tracker, does the Planar Tracker leave you feeling flat?
inverted mask to go behind the pc doesnt work for me, i wonder what i did wrong
but that's not the kind of tracking I'm looking for
how you did following mouse effect on 3:40?
I know this is off topic, but is there any way to get faster playback when working with davinci resolve's fusion? I usually get really slow playback as my machine isn't as powerful enough to work with it. Thanks.
It really is just kinda slow most of the time. I know they’re working on it, but lots of things just are. :/
@@CaseyFaris Is it also slow for you?
How about using the planar tracker to create a mask instead of a corner pin? So say you're doing a window reflection and the window moves around but the reflected image doesn't. Or, in Casey terms, there is a full screen image of a cat and cats don't move because they don't wanna. But the monitor is moving to see the different parts of the cat. Monitor moves, cat below it stays still. Suggestions?
Hi sir, I am new to da Vinci Resolve.
While Editing a clip I am not able to stop the timer under the toolbar in the fusion page it just keeps going on forever and my clip is going out of the timecode.
I am just not able to understand it.. please help, can't see any help on TH-cam.
I am not talking about the frame code indicator which is
To the left . I am just not able to stop the timer code to the right under the toolbar.
🙏 please help.
Thank you
you know those horror movies that have that effect where the hallway zooms way out but the hallway closer to the subject is more normal? how would i go about making that effect with a unstable camera and a polygon shape?
That effect is called a zolly. It's from moving the camera forward and zooming out at the same time. So if you are using a 3D camera or something, you'd have to emulate that.
@@CaseyFaris thanks. I don’t have a 3d camera. The the footage is from a video game I’m making a show off of so I can get better at editing.
Used this before but for some reason on my current project, I cannot get it to “track to end”. It blips and that’s it…
When I hit track to end button nothing happens. Mask turns green, but nothing else.
this tracker is not working. When I press the triangle all the way to the right it jumps one frame and stops .. Why? Nothing happens then. I set the frame correctly with the set button. Davinci Resolve 18 free.
Whenever I press "Track to end" it starts a render but it doesnt actually complete or even start going through the frames, Its stays at the set frame and freezes davinci resolve. Eventually ending up crashing it. I know its not my pc since its a higher end pc and the tracker used to work just fine. Whats the issue????
Ive just done some testing. the planar tracker seems to have an issue when attempting to create shorts. But when I attempt a track in an actual video format everthing seems to work just fine. The problem for me is that I only need to use the tracker inside of shorts currently
You were right on track with this viddy....boooo!
This seems to be stuff I did quite easily in Adobe Premiere. Here, I hardly understood shit. But given time, I will.
I don't have trackingpoints tho, i onlz have a white screen and my box is going all sorts of places
doesnt work for me. the slightest horizontal movement of my footage makes the image that i want to track on top of the footage move vertically by a lot.
Everyone, it's been a year since I ca to tNice tutorials video, and my progress is amazing.
Not sure if TH-cam is deleting my comment? I commented this yesterday and I apologize if it is a duplicate.
Do you have any tips on how to "fix" a track on more challenging scenarios? I am currently manually keyframing the position of my corner pins at every frame and was hoping that Fusion has a smarter way to do that instead. Imagine if a tablet is being flipped around the scene and I had to replace the screen throughout the motion.
Let me know if you have any insight! Thanks 😊
I’ve definitely had to things like that. Some shots are just hard.
