    The tutorial is great, but what happens if there is no static image to work with? In your case, the woman is moving, but the background is the same throughout the whole video, no camera movement etc.
    In cases where both move, and we also don't have a clean plate of the background (person is always in front of it), how do we manage it?

    • @videoeditingcentral
      @videoeditingcentral  ปีที่แล้ว

      hi, very interesting scenario. I'd say it may still be feasible with very precise rotoscoping, but if there is way to do a clean replacement of the background, then we might be at wit's end.

    Hey VEC, i really enjoy the way you teach! You make it short although you explain the reasoning behind the notes which is one of the essential factors for people who really want to learn something beyond the specific effect. You definetly have my sub!
    One (hardly related) question tho. What setup/PCspecs do you use? Idk if you timelapsed the rendering parts for example but they seemed flawlessly fast (in comparison to my fusion workflow). Diving into fusion (even tho I'm used to 3D programms) really brings up the old age of my setup especially given fusions inefficiency when it comes to hardware usage.

    • @videoeditingcentral
      @videoeditingcentral  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      thank you very much for the kind words and providing your feedback! i'm very happy to hear that!
      great question, so full disclosure, i don't have top notch specs for my Mac and the rendering part is timelapsed for the sake of the viewing experience. i have 16 GB of RAM and 8GB of graphics memory and if you are curious, there are pages on premiumbeat/blackmagicdesign/motionarray that explain the system requirements for DaVinci Resolve 18. i'd say make do with what you have until it starts to hinder your ability to do creative work. lightning fast rendering is nearly impossible especially as the flow gets complicated, so slowness is expected in many cases.

    Great video! I've been using Resolve for about 2 years now after switching over from Adobe for 8 years.
    Anyways, I'm trying to achieve this same effect in a video I'm doing but I'm very new to fusion. I've watched Casey Faris' video on intro to particles video and yours here. I need some more help even though I'm googling things along the way. I want to make a still non-moving subject disappear into smoke like this. So I feel like there are a lot of nodes you used I probably won't have to... but not sure which ones. How do I get in touch with you?

    • @videoeditingcentral
      @videoeditingcentral  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      hi, thank you! actually in your case, it'd be much simpler. instead of using the video footage, you can just replace that with your still image, or non moving subject, the rest of the nodes are the same. so basically everything up until the 4 minute mark doesn't quite apply to you : )

    • @videoeditingcentral
      @videoeditingcentral  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      hi, thank you! and that is a great question. I'd say in that case, ideally you'd want to have 2 clips, 1 with just the background and 1 with the subject. To accelerate the puff, the key would be to play with the settings in the emitter nodes. the flow itself can stay but you'd adjust the settings to fit your needds.

    • @JarrowJR
      @JarrowJR หลายเดือนก่อน

      I had the same problem. In the free version you must almost do something like hell to get such effects when you change perspective, camera movement, etc.
      In the studio version there is something called "magic mask" which allows you to do whatever you want and the perspective, camera movement and everything else doesn't matter, plus you can add 2-3 nodes and that's it.The entire node system consists of maybe 5 pieces without too much fuss. I have the studio version and often "magic mask" saves the entire solution when, for example, you have to use time-consuming rotoscoping.Moreover, ver studio is much smoother to work with, has much better memory management and does not crashes like the free version

      @videoeditingcentral  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      that's a fantastic question. well, assuming the footage remains the same, i would still the smoke first based on the subject and then manipulate the smoke effect heavily, have the viewers see that first instead, and then bring out the subjects like how the smoke was brought up in the video, so you'd pretty much still have to create the smoke first but go one step further to bring out the subject again.

If there's someone out there who can help talk through a couple of the sticking points I would love to hear where you had problems following the video.

I think there are some missing settings in this video. His settings are obviously correct (because it all works for him) and it looks like the video is one main, live take---but there might be other dependencies that were left out or assumed. For instance, I had to set the polygon node to be inverted to get a piece of it to work and I'm not sure how you'd be able to tell if the Ctrl + T to set something to the background was actually achieved or not (is that an on-off toggle).
