I don’t want this to come off sounding backhanded but, Mr Alex, you really have come a long way, over the last couple of years. You come across as much more comfortable on screen. Everything, you’ve really upped your game, and it really shows. Thank you for putting so much effort into it, and then giving it to us for free. I appreciate it. Please keep doing what you are doing.
Hiya Jim. Not backhanded at all, I watched some of my older vids recetly and yeaaah, i've come a long way huh! Haha. But thank you, I really appreciate the kind words. I'll keep going as long as you all keep watching :)
Hello, absolutely love the tutorials, when i connect the blue to the blue the recipient node greys out, and i cant seem to figure out what i am doing wrong
man, low key kicking myself with a smile haha First of all these examples made it easy as hell to understand and secondly, the me laughing part, is because it's so easy to make what used to be very complex (for me complex anyways) titling or what have you and now its just here for us. Allows us to be creative and do more. Appreciate this, will like and subscribe to see more!
I love how you have multiple examples and do it more than once. It really helps when you’re trying to follow along because you don’t have to really pause and rewind a bunch of times. It’s also nice because then if I’m at your same pace I can do it more than once as well and by the time the video’s over I’ve got a pretty solid foundation with this skill. All that to say, great video 😆🤙🏼
Fantastic. The best demo of the Depth Map tool, yet. This new feature could not have come at a better time. I’m working on a short film where I want to add a thick fog to an outdoor environment. This will work perfectly. Thanks a million.
Alex! I don't remember I ever left a comment on TH-cam, but your video was awesome and to the point enough that I couldn't leave without saying thank you!! Thank you so much and keep up the amazing work! 💪💪
Wow! Thanks. You walked us through such a super powerful tool, in a fun upbeat way, to boot! Thanks for giving us such a thorough, easy to follow step by step tutorial!
Its taken me four months to actually get round to installing Resolve 18 and making full use of this Tutorial. You sir, really are the "go-to" channel for me learning how to do the important editing stuff as quickly as possible. Well, you and Darren really 😀
Best case I've seen yet for a reason for me to get the pro version of Resolve. Thank you, Alex, sincerely for all your content! You've become my go-to guru for improving my video editing!! 🙂
Been using the depth map functionality and it totally justifies my upgrade from a Mac Mini M1 to the Max Studio Max. This is just the first glimpse into the power of the new generation of Neural Tools bringing amazing functionality to Resolve 18. It is only going to get better as things get optimized.
Amazing video Alex, my computer is orignally from Scan computers too, i always love there stuff, i was going to get an upgrade at some point too, nice video
This makes me happy that I finally bought the studio version. Well, TBH I was already happy I upgraded because of getting full use of my 5k 360 footage. Thanks for sharing this amazing upgrade.
Awesome introduction to Depth Map. Thank you very much. I was even more delighted when I discovered my old MSI GS65 laptop with Intel Core i7 8th Gen + 32GB RAM handled Depth Map with the greatest of ease.
I color graded my video (Blue Danube) and wanted to add a lens flare but the dancer's arm moved in front of where I put it. I see that using depth map would be one way to solve this but I chose a faster and easier way. I just scrubbed to just before the arm passes in front of the flare and key framed the size to shrink to nothing until the arm passed it and then key framed it back to original size. worked just fine and took 30 seconds to set up. I love how intuitive this program is. Thanks for the depth map explanation. It looks very useful for selective coloring/effects on a broader level.
I own DR Studio - TOTALLY worth the cost. I didn't realize 18 was available yet... is this still in beta? I can't wait to start using these new depth map features! Thanks!
This was very helpful. I was wanting to add some fake depth of field to some shots in a video I'm currently editing in Davinci Studio 18, but I could think how to, didn't know about the depth node.
Great information, presented clearly. You have a new subscriber... now I'm going to look at your other videos. If they are all this good, I'll be here a while. 🙂
Is there any way to dynamically change the depth-map options? Such as using "isolation" on an actor who moves towards & away from the camera in the same shot, simulating focus-tracking/pulling?
Hey so the bug where the keyframes do not save are still a thing in davinci resolve 18. And I tried to do the solution that you posted a long time ago and I was wondering if you could do another tutorial (Updated version) Because in resolve 18 the work around did not work for me. The keyframes still say they are a mile away from the actual keyframe I put on the timeline even though I did the Instructions in the tutorial.
I was just looking through the Davinci Resolve 17 manual and saw on page 1396 the Depth Blur node in Fusion. Would it be possible to bring the depth map into the Fusion page and use the Depth blur node to get a more realistic boke effect? I'd try it myself, but I can't download the beta versions as I'm in the middle of a production. Thanks for all the great tutorials, really helping me transition from Premier & After Effects to Davinci.
It could I suppose BUT it would be much slower (it's much more resource heavy) and less accurate. Green Screen is still the 'standard' for a reason really because it's cheap and simple to do :)
Depth map vs magic mask, what you think? What’s better and/or faster? I can’t find anyone talking about this and I wonder of the new trick is faster and more efficient…
I was literally getting ready to start masking something in a bit to blur out the background and this video pops up into my youtube feed. TH-cams getting good.
Hi. I am having trouble saving fusion effect macros in Resolve 18, and being able to access them. Any thoughts? Could you show us how to save a macro and access it in Resolve 18 Please...? 🙂
I believe that a fancier way of making depth maps would be to differentiate subjects by colorizing their depth so it would offer two ways of separating the subjects from their surrounding. I'm pretty sure that separating subjects with an AI would give better quality height maps in the end of the process.
Excellent teacher! Thank you so much for demystifying the controls!

My new effect to use every time . Great video
Heyyy Jusdrug! MTB dude. I've seen you in MTB vids ha. Thanks man. Glad to hear it.
@@MrAlexTech hey 👋 this replay just made my week . Thank you yet again . Omg can’t believe you have seen my Mtb vids 🤫🙌🥲
Very cool vid, Alex. Loving the new approach/style.
Half my rig is Scan. Top firm.
Heyyy thanks Tez! Not too much clickbait?! Ha getting mixed comments so far! Yeah Scan have been great for me too.
@@MrAlexTech Clickbait? Well, would I have just joined a channel if it was even remotely clickbaitish? Hell no!
I'll hang out for a year or a half 😃
I like so much "mosaic blur" that's very funny footage. Congratulations. I'll work it on my personal projects. Keep up the good working ❤️
Its taken me four months to actually get round to installing Resolve 18 and making full use of this Tutorial.
You sir, really are the "go-to" channel for me learning how to do the important editing stuff as quickly as possible.
Well, you and Darren really 😀
💎💎💎💎💎
depth map + layering + tracking = amazing Hollywood title sequences❤️
Yeah I've since tried it with some power windows too and it's working a treat!
Thankx for breaking it down.. great tutorial for beginners
Best case I've seen yet for a reason for me to get the pro version of Resolve. Thank you, Alex, sincerely for all your content! You've become my go-to guru for improving my video editing!! 🙂

Fantastic tutorial cheer

Totally agree Chris :)
@@MrAlexTech I wonder how the Mac Studio M1/M2 compares with Intel i9-12900K & 3200 Mhz and NVidia 3080.
Amazing. Always astonished on how good DR is and how much it advances at each version.
Amazing video Alex, my computer is orignally from Scan computers too, i always love there stuff, i was going to get an upgrade at some point too, nice video
This video convinced me to test the Beta version. Thank you!
good work and thank you so much, Greetings from Egypt
This makes me happy that I finally bought the studio version. Well, TBH I was already happy I upgraded because of getting full use of my 5k 360 footage. Thanks for sharing this amazing upgrade.
GREAT AND WELL EXPLAINED LESSON
Thx for that great video. Hope you will make also a video for surface tracker, for example with text on a cow "I am living vegan"
you prefer this over object tracking or masking?
Merci beaucoup pour tes explications. Elles sont fluides et très enrichissantes
Thank you so much, this was extremely useful.
This is amazing!
Awesome introduction to Depth Map. Thank you very much. I was even more delighted when I discovered my old MSI GS65 laptop with Intel Core i7 8th Gen + 32GB RAM handled Depth Map with the greatest of ease.
Wow amazing stuff Alex! Please make more videos like this one. Yours are the best! Do you know when the non beta version will be released? Can’t wait!
Thanks. Can you export the depth map to use in another editor?
Yes, I exported the depth map to Premiere Pro

Heyy! Yeaaah still in beta. 17 was beta for agessss so it might stay in beta for a while ha.
I’ll stop scratching my head looking for it in the latest (non beta) release then. Doh!
@@MrAlexTech how to get the beta tho?
@@beaugotdrums7821 www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/support/
Scroll down the Latest Downloads list until you see Resolve 18 and download from there.
@@MrAlexTech thanks mate
This was very helpful. I was wanting to add some fake depth of field to some shots in a video I'm currently editing in Davinci Studio 18, but I could think how to, didn't know about the depth node.
Can you do a video on adding external sound effects into daVinci Resolve? Love the channel btw
Alex, BM should hire you as a master trainer. Your stuff is much better than the boring training videos they produce. Keep it going.
This was so enlightening

I love how I can get excited about new features in a program I bought without having to buy it again… best part of resolve.
Thanks for the great summary! I didn't even know there was a new version 18 out! Definitely looking forward to give it a try once it's out of beta. :)

Awesome demo
awesome tutorial, no bs!
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how crazy this technology is?
Impressive. Going to need to upgrade my pc.
woowwww 4k /60 🤯 i lke this Mr.Alex i like this format ....
So awesome! Thx!
Awesome! Thanks!
Thank you for one more time!
You are one of my favourites. I was wonderung if this feature can be used instead of a green screen though...🤔
It could I suppose BUT it would be much slower (it's much more resource heavy) and less accurate. Green Screen is still the 'standard' for a reason really because it's cheap and simple to do :)
@@MrAlexTech thank you. Keep up with your awesome tutorials!! ♥️
I am glad i have the studio version.
Depth map vs magic mask, what you think? What’s better and/or faster? I can’t find anyone talking about this and I wonder of the new trick is faster and more efficient…
Awh man I can't wait until beta testing is over. Thanks, Alex!
Great video! I was wondering if you can export the depth map as an image file?
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Great but how do you remove something it should not have included with the subject??
Drag the volu for the setuper track that you're recording into all the way down.
Did you use sharp billinear scaling at the beginning of the video?
I was literally getting ready to start masking something in a bit to blur out the background and this video pops up into my youtube feed. TH-cams getting good.
Great video thanks, can you show what’s new in fusion?
I don't believe Fusion has changed all that much honestly!
good tutorial, one question about soft recording. How do you do it? lol
Hi. I am having trouble saving fusion effect macros in Resolve 18, and being able to access them. Any thoughts? Could you show us how to save a macro and access it in Resolve 18 Please...? 🙂
