What am I missing? 19 is still behaving exactly the same for me...colors don't match from fusion to edit to color pages just as before when using color management.
Wow! Fusion not following the project's color management was the one thing keeping me from diving deeper into color management. I'm a total color nOOb and was watching a bunch of videos on the topic of color management and was starting to get into it, then I found out Fusion ignored the color management and at that point, I never went any further with it. That is super cool!
I've watched your videos for a while, and I love what you do, but here... you are sooooo far above me that I can't process it, but I'll go back and get the released version and figure it out. BRAVO to YOU!!!
OMG REFERENCE COMPS ARE THE BEST THING EVER. Fucking finally!!! The amount of proceduralism that's been lacking with Fusion.... wow. Absolute game changer. I'm in love.
11:13 that's probably one of the best features they've added in Fusion 19, although before I was using the letterbox node to do the same thing, now it would require no extra nodes.
Your picture is in the lower left corner. It’s better in the blank space in the upper left corner, at least in the early portion. Glad you are excited. Looks like an improvement.
Some useful additions for sure. OMG Just looked into all the other stuff you didn't even mention.... this is a HUGE update with tonnes of great things!
Great meeting you at NAB. I'm just now watching this (I've also watched some other vids about DR19), and the Referenced Comp feature is the first one that actually made me say "Holy shit!" out loud.
Jesus, I just watched Alex's video and I thought this would be similar with just your personality instead. But no, MORE new cool stuff. DR19 is going to be so great!
Those PolyLine and Reference Comp features had me shouting like that diner scene from When Harry Met Sally. Also nice Fatboy Slim reference at the end. It’s “funk soul brother”, took me a long time to learn what he’s actually saying.
Thanks for the video. Unfortunately, Color Managed did not work for me. Now the Edit, Color, Deliver, and even Fusion pages match, but when I deliver and generate the H.265 MP4, I get a different, more dull color. Reverting to the old mode. The Fusion page is off, but at least the MP4 matches the other tabs.
One more excellent video, mate! I have some question about the 1st feature: 1. Why not just keep all the input video medias as the BMD WG color space? 2. I have an HDR 1400 monitor and Windows 11, DR v19 supports HDR monitoring the preview window in the Edit page now!!! But the fusion page looks like still not support HDR in windows. Is my setup error? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the video. I'm excited about DR19 as well and was overjoyed, when I learned about Fusion respecting Color management now, but I can't seem to get it to work. What Fusion is displaying in the GUI does not match what it displays via SDI out, nor does it match the image outputted via "video clean feed" on my second monitor and all those images still do not match how stuff looks in the Edit page. It's as wildly different as it always was, much more different that what could be explained by the different calibration of the monitors.
i have the Resolve Studio, and i'm really interested in learning that Magic Mask feature... i played around with it for a while, but i still don't know how to use it properly... i want to learn how to remove people and text from certain still images and move them over to different still images
Hello Case:Y(or X). Have you found a way to use the same identical node in many different Fusion compositions so that when you change one node, it changes in all compositions that use that node. In short, an exact copy, like a proxy ? Many times there is a situation where you make a nice ball out of Circle, which you modify to your liking, and you want to use the same ball in many different Fusion compositions.
All this time looking at my new tablet, I had no idea they dropped this. Scale to source looks great! Hard to explain, but does it crop stuff? Previously, I'd have stuff that got planar transformed to the point you could see where the borders cut off. If this lets you use huge images with no cropping or issues, that makes things much easier.
I saw great potential in using Referenced Comps for lower thirds in a project to keep them consistent throughout, but more importantly, allow quick global change such as font or colour change, should the client request it when everything else was complete. The problem, of course, with this idea is that the text content of a title cannot be made unique for each instance of the same referenced comp, therefore making them unsuitable for this. Is there any way around this where referenced comps can some how be instructed to ignore certain parameters, such as text content?
YESS COLOR MANAGEMENT IN FUSION!! FINALLY! How do you feel about Fusion's speed? I really tried using it, but it soo slow for higher res footage, and stopped using it. Something that really annoyed mi is the playback of a clip that often stays choppy after it's buffered. How's your experience with this so far?
Damn that scale to source thing is exactly what I needed months ago and had no idea how to fix it back then so I just changed what I was doing cuz I couldn't find the answer to it ahaha.... amazing.
4:35 - This would've been useful for me the last few days. I was stacking a lot of polygon nodes. To not have it full of nodes, I only did the important bits in the scenes. With this, I could 've done everything. What I do find strange, coming from a background and photoshop and such, is how they layer things from top to bottom. Unlike most software, where it is from bottom to top. I noticed this the other day, with the multi-merge. I didn't at first understand why my layer wasn't showing, while it was the top most layer. After a while I figured out it had to go to the bottom of the list. Would like them to change that, or have the option to change it. And also, They should fix the descrepency in shortcuts between Fusion and the other tabs, because it gets confusing. For example, ctrl+mousewheel zooms the timeline in Fusion, but not in the Edit tab. There, alt+mousewheel zooms the timeline, while this it scrolling the timeline in Fusion. And with the left/right arrow, you can go frame by frame in the Edit tab, but not in the Fusion tab. And because I have AZERTY, even the default shortcuts for going a frame back/forward in Fusion, doesn't work properly. Davinci Resolve is a great program, but it sometimes baffles me how they can drop the ball on things that should be standard.
Scale to source……how many times have we needed to be aware of that problem? Learned a lot about that that in your FZ2H course. Now fixed with a checkbox. 😅
Hey Casey. How are you? I'm using Davinci 18.6, and have loaded a clip in the media pool. However, for some reason, it's NOT loading or permitting me to put it on the Timeline. It's a PNG file, so should work like the others I've already loaded in the timeline. Can you give some advice? I'd also like to thank you for doing videos on Davinci Resolve as I was formerly using Openshot, and this Davinci Resolve is head and shoulders better.
Thank you so much for the overview! These are exciting news. I am thrilled about the volumetric clouds. ( I had once the idea to import a 3d cloud I created in Blender into fusion - was like banging head against wall for hours - found no way) I think all of the new feature are fantastic and will be great to explore: what are the possibilities to manipulate, light, reshape the clouds for example?
I was going to be the first to watch this 😊 Edit after watching: Jeez, I am finally feeling like it's time for to fully drop After Effects and focus on Fusion 😊
Very cool stuff. The color management improvement is a blessing, but not as exciting as the multi poly where now we have an added layer of animation that can be grouped as an object. I wonder what’s next, inverse kinematic, bones? Haha
Hey Casey when you are at NAB, could you check out the Canon exhibit for us? They are allegedly going to be announcing new cameras and lenses. Would be very cool to see :)
Feels like magic masks break in longer projects (or just behave somewhat unpredictably), especially when such clips are edited after the mask is made, happened always with the color page magic masks and yesterday in a 30 minute short film something went weird with a Fusion magic mask even though no changes were made to it right before it went weird. Have they made any improvements to this in DR19? Would also be amazing if you could manually roto to correct areas at the frame level of the magic mask that have issues. So would save a ton of time and be less hit or miss. I know you can subtract and refine the mask but to have frame by frame control after their rough draft so to speak would be so clutch
What a great video. I've just started using DaVinci Resolve to edit my videos. (Yes I'm a total noob on everything) I really enjoy this software however, I really don't think I'll get used to all the amazing features
I recently observed in another video that Dissolve 19 has introduced a new slow motion feature that enables shooting at 8K 24 fps or 8K 30 fps without compromising quality. However, the details provided were insufficient. I would appreciate hearing your insights on this topic or viewing a video that elaborates further. Thx!!
Can you check depth mask on a portrait layout project please? It's been driving me nuts on 18.6. Just turning on preview on the color tab will show if it's working on not, on 18.6 it does show anything masked if the project is portrait.
Hi I still haven't found the answer of where to setup the project drive on davinci resolve do we leave it with main drive and separate drive for cache if there is no help I will give up and just use photoshop and lightroom due to time consuming it's so complicated 😢
I want to run something past you. I want to create a reusable asset- lets say a custom lower third. It will have a text element and a graphical element that will both be replaceable in the final project. I know how to do all of that in fusion. But I want it to have an embedded sound (that won't change). The sound effect will be synchronized with the motion graphic so I don't have to mess with it. I'm pretty sure I can do this in AE, How do I create that as a canned reusable asset (including the sound) that I can use in my projects AND share with others in Davinci?
Oh no! the color management doesn't not seem to be working for me in fusion :( does it not work when I do a custom color processing mode? It seem like I'm still have to do a cst in fusion from srgb to linear to get it to work. Any suggestions?
Already found a major bug in Fusion. DR19 crashes to desktop when you change a pEmitter node's style from blob (or any other type) to bitmap... quite disappointing 🤔
So I only started editing a couple weeks ago on Davinci Resolve 18.6, whenever i open it it doesn't update to 19, is it a new piece of software I have to install and if so should I do it and "start over?"
So, I keep looking for this update and it’s not saying anything about 19 I keep getting like 18.so thing or other. I am so excited for it but I can’t update yet? Am I missing something guys?
My davinci resolve have a glitch . Whenever i stabilize my footage in edit page and then i go to colour page and grade it . then i copy the grade to another footage my stabilized data also got messed up can u tell me how to fix this problem .

bro… you don’t know how HAPPY having color management in fusion makes me… that’s been ruining me life for YEARS 😂 we did it! 🎉🎉
What am I missing? 19 is still behaving exactly the same for me...colors don't match from fusion to edit to color pages just as before when using color management.

I made the mistake of watching this before bed. So stoked off of Casey’s excitement, I’m no longer sleepy. 😅
Your enthusiasm is infectious! Thanks for the post!
Casey looks as excited as a kid at a candy store - awesome!
All Fusion needed was a "Fix this" check box and now we have it!!
You and Alex are a great tag team! Very fast. Very useful Thanks a million!
Davinci is unmatched in every way! Thank you, Blackmagic design!
Your sheer joy over these changes in Davinci Resolve 19 is palpable!
Finally most of the irritating small things are fixed!!! I love it. :D Can't wait to see more composition tutorials btw! :D
Greatest inventions in Fusion that keeps humanity go forward:
Magic mask
Multimerge
Multipoly
Very cool features...love that DaVinci is still putting in time and money into the Fusion page.
Finally integrated work with color in fusion ---YES!!!!!
I literally just got my speed editor keyboard and license yesterday and they drop a whole new version on us!!! SO MUCH TO BE EXCITED ABOUT! :)
I've watched your videos for a while, and I love what you do, but here... you are sooooo far above me that I can't process it, but I'll go back and get the released version and figure it out. BRAVO to YOU!!!
Your videos inspired me to become a professional in this industry. Hope to one day collab. Keep pushing Casey
That is amazing!!!!
look how mom's lil' boy gets excited 'bout a single checkbox 😄♥
u'r simply the best, Casey!
Multi-poly node is something I've needed forever without even knowing!!!
Stacking poly shapes has been the bane of my existence for so long. This node is really a no brainer which is my wheelhouse.
👏Your excitement is infectious and I've caught it! Looking forward to your deep dives. 👊
Color management in fusion, now that will make life so much easier !
Nice one Casey, helpful as always mate! I did laugh at the derelict haha
You are leap years beyond my very rudimentary knowledge, but I love knowing this so that I can find it if I want to use it. Love this product!
Wow, that fairlight bit was shockingly good
RIP Adobe I have been since 2012 a DR user and never looked back, BM is just so good at listening to its users that it just kicks ass.
omg vdb in fusion thats insanely cool! So exited to try!! Thank you!
THANK YOU! This new input color space thing saved my project! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Great video.
Color management in Fusion is incredible. Yeaahhhhhhhh
OMG REFERENCE COMPS ARE THE BEST THING EVER. Fucking finally!!! The amount of proceduralism that's been lacking with Fusion.... wow. Absolute game changer. I'm in love.

It's really good to see USD properly implemented in Fusion. Miles ahead than After Effects 3D, which is not comform to open standard.
Your next course with these features are gonna be AWESOME #Takemymoney!
Hope to see you at NAB
Some useful additions for sure. OMG Just looked into all the other stuff you didn't even mention.... this is a HUGE update with tonnes of great things!
W's all around. Fusion color management update BIG.
Great meeting you at NAB. I'm just now watching this (I've also watched some other vids about DR19), and the Referenced Comp feature is the first one that actually made me say "Holy shit!" out loud.
The stacked masks is going to be so much better, I was always wanting that option
Thanks for sharing this, just bought my license!
Jesus, I just watched Alex's video and I thought this would be similar with just your personality instead. But no, MORE new cool stuff. DR19 is going to be so great!
All of this is so incredibly useful (and partly overdue...)
Thanks a lot!
Those PolyLine and Reference Comp features had me shouting like that diner scene from When Harry Met Sally.
Also nice Fatboy Slim reference at the end. It’s “funk soul brother”, took me a long time to learn what he’s actually saying.

That VDB thing is supercool. You can generate stuff in embergen and bring it over. Embergen does complex simulations in realtime.
Thanks for the video. I'm excited about DR19 as well and was overjoyed, when I learned about Fusion respecting Color management now, but I can't seem to get it to work. What Fusion is displaying in the GUI does not match what it displays via SDI out, nor does it match the image outputted via "video clean feed" on my second monitor and all those images still do not match how stuff looks in the Edit page. It's as wildly different as it always was, much more different that what could be explained by the different calibration of the monitors.
thanks for the round up 🙏💐❤️
where is the new direct background bokeh feature of v19 without any masking?
i have the Resolve Studio, and i'm really interested in learning that Magic Mask feature... i played around with it for a while, but i still don't know how to use it properly... i want to learn how to remove people and text from certain still images and move them over to different still images
vdb support is awesome.
This is my first version - just getting into it.
Seems like a good time.

I believe it doesn't crop it. But I haven't checked specifically

I'm so happy about vdb's inside fusion!
Thanks for the overview, Casey!
The new polygon mask feature is just what I needed 🙌
Scale To Source, didn't about that one! Nice tip, thank you!
i love your channel! Your guides help me alot 👏thanks 😁
YESS COLOR MANAGEMENT IN FUSION!! FINALLY!
How do you feel about Fusion's speed? I really tried using it, but it soo slow for higher res footage, and stopped using it. Something that really annoyed mi is the playback of a clip that often stays choppy after it's buffered. How's your experience with this so far?
thanks for that video!! i am excited for your new videos and tutorials on davinci resolve 19!!
It's such a wonderful day.
Noo. I thought magic mask would be free or something 🤣 4:01
Damn that scale to source thing is exactly what I needed months ago and had no idea how to fix it back then so I just changed what I was doing cuz I couldn't find the answer to it ahaha.... amazing.

Brother, tell me... in this version you can make a soft shadow in 3D RENDERER just like in SOFTWARE RENDERER?
Scale to source……how many times have we needed to be aware of that problem? Learned a lot about that that in your FZ2H course. Now fixed with a checkbox. 😅
Wow, cool stuff! Thanks for the preview!
Hey Casey. How are you? I'm using Davinci 18.6, and have loaded a clip in the media pool. However, for some reason, it's NOT loading or permitting me to put it on the Timeline.

I'd also like to thank you for doing videos on Davinci Resolve as I was formerly using Openshot, and this Davinci Resolve is head and shoulders better.
Very very cool. One new feature I saw in the Notes for 19 beta I'd like to see demonstrated is the new Film Look Creator. It sounds like a fun tool.
Darren Mostyn has a vid that demos it a bit.
Thank you so much for the overview! These are exciting news. I am thrilled about the volumetric clouds.

You missed about the intelli tracker . But was a quick and very good info on the new features . Thank you
You are quick and busy 👍
Thanks for sharing this.

W especially multi poly, but improve the follower text modifier
Oh no! the color management doesn't not seem to be working for me in fusion :( does it not work when I do a custom color processing mode? It seem like I'm still have to do a cst in fusion from srgb to linear to get it to work. Any suggestions?
hey, is there any way you can explain how you get the 3d fog asset into fusion?
Will my fusion compositions get fucked when i change the timeline resolution still?
I dont use Davinci too often. Lately it seems every time I open it I have to install a new version or updated version.
I bought all the DaVinci Resolve 18 books. Will they be coming out with DR 19 books later on?
Q: is the manual update also available?
Thanks for the explanation... I saw also something about AI tracking or Am I wrong?
I hope there is something in there for the free version.
Already found a major bug in Fusion. DR19 crashes to desktop when you change a pEmitter node's style from blob (or any other type) to bitmap... quite disappointing 🤔
So I only started editing a couple weeks ago on Davinci Resolve 18.6, whenever i open it it doesn't update to 19, is it a new piece of software I have to install and if so should I do it and "start over?"
19 is still in pubic beta. You need to install it manually from their support webpage
It’s in beta so you would have to manually install it, or wait til the official release which will make it automatic.
Fusion USD uRender, when will there be new final quality (non draft) rendering engine/s?
I just watched to see Casey get excited about things I’ll never use.
Is there a website with files VDB , please?
So, I keep looking for this update and it’s not saying anything about 19
I keep getting like 18.so thing or other.
I am so excited for it but I can’t update yet? Am I missing something guys?
My davinci resolve have a glitch . Whenever i stabilize my footage in edit page and then i go to colour page and grade it . then i copy the grade to another footage my stabilized data also got messed up can u tell me how to fix this problem .
