Super in-depth tutorial that includes the why of the settings. Most videos give you a one size fits all solution that doesn't allow the viewer to understand. Love the depth and thought you put into explaining the concepts/functionality of the stabilization feature in resolve.
Great tutorial! I've always used Similarity, but it's cool to know how Perspective can be used too. Also I didn't know you could do this in the color tab. I like that!
Thank you so much. Well done. I love, that you speak from experience and do not present yourself as the master of the game, like some dudes who just presenting the obvious as if this is some guru knowledge. So thank you very much indeed.
I never thought about tinkering with the parameters before. I just went through the motions of trying perspective, translation or stabilise and if they made the shot look funny then I’d stop using the setting. I will now experiment with the extra smooth and strength to see if that helps. One funny thing I have noticed is that sometimes, and I can’t explain why, I get better results in the EDIT page with Locked Off shots before resorting to a tutorial to get the same Locked Off effect in the Fusion Page. May I ask you a completely unrelated question, have you ever played with an anamorphic lens? If so, how did you go about desqueezing it? I have a Siri 50mm lens which is sitting in a box unloved because I can’t quite get the maths right. The only method I’ve discovered is to film a test-sheet of paper with circles on it and then eyeball the horizontal stretch till I get rounded shapes on my screen. I’m hoping there is a better way to use maths and punch some numbers in.
For me the best way to handle anamorphic footage is to calcualte the intended aspect ratio i.e. the anamorpic squeeze times the sensor ratio. Then set the timeline resolution in Resolve directly to that aspect ratio with image scaling set to "stretch frame to all corners". This way is more effort up front to calcuate the figures but it also ensures the correct desqueeze.
Although I knew already how it works, it was a pleasure to get those detailed explanations. Great job. And the little tips you provided are very useful. Thanks.
I wish Resolve could read GoPro gyro data like ReelSteady. That is a great tip about one object motion for perspective versus two objects in motion. Also camera lock for fixed position. Those are the two best tips I think for me since I'm a novice.
Gyro is the best thing they announced. pulls rolling shutter and no jello (of course with BM cams). also very important you cannot use any gimbles with "gyro" and if you are using a zoom lens, you MUST enter the lens data first, and every time you change the zoom. also I believe you have to shoot BRAW. Prorez will not copy the data. Rolling shutter on the BMPCC6k pro was my biggest gripe and when I saw the gyro stab remove the rolling shutter I fell out of my chair. never heard anyone even mention it. great vid by the way
Gimbals should be fine shouldn't they? It's just making the camera more stable in the first place It's any optical image stabilisation in the lens that confuses the gyro, if you have that turned on, it won't work Definitely has to be BRAW
Tenho um modelo exatamente igual a esse. Adquiri a quase 1 ano e até hoje a máquina não sabe o que é oficina. Só limpeza de filtro de ar e graxa na ponteira (coisas de rotina). A torre é muito boa. O cinturão que vem no kit oferece uma boa ergonomia e a máquina trabalha livre. O motor é bem forte e, sabendo regular, a economia de combustível é admirável. Chego a fazer 4 horas com 1 litro de combustível. Uso gasolina aditivada VPower e o Óleo Husqvarna PRO na medida 20ml por litro. A máquina trabalha suave e quando preciso fazer trabalho mais pesado, faço a medida recomendada para uso intensivo (30 ml por litro). Sempre misturo combustível somente no momento do uso (evitando mistura velha) Resumindo, máquina Top! Ótimo custo benefício e as mesmas peças da Husqvarna 143R-II.
Great tutorial! I wonder if there’s any influence about when to apply stabilization in editing workflow. My case: I stabilize each clip after finishing my edit page, but before moving to the color page. And somehow the stabilization is reseted. Should it be the last thing on my workflow before export?
Great video explaining the differences. Warp stabilizer still is king by a long shot in most scenarios unfortunately. I wish I could get premiere out of my workflow!
Super helpful. I am just now in the middle of trying to stabalize footage and ran into several of the problems you cover here. Also, I was wondering how to apply stabilisation to a few clips at once. Now I know this would be a bad idea in the first place....
Nice fairly deep, for me at least, look at something I may have never known existed on the color page. As others said you are a very good instructor with an obvious thorough knowledge of DR. thank you, I'll have to see what else you have =)
Good video! One question.... Is the stabilization recorded in the first color correction node? It happened to me that created several new nodes and deleted the initial one... And I realized that the stabilization disappeared. It's not talked about in any video, is that right? Thank you!!
Very good help!! I do better when using your method. What I find difficult is with sensors that have IBIS and lens stabilization that the main subject is pretty still but part of the backgrounds moves. An example is talking heads handheld it's so difficult to get good. Of course it would be ideal to put the camera on sticks but it's just not possible for me to do that on certain jobs. GH5 was good at it, Canon R and R5 I have difficulties with. I tried without IBIS and lens stabilization on R5 lots of jitter and doing the stabilization in Resolve then it looks pretty much the same as in cam... Maybe its I, the camera man doing funny movements...🙃🧐
I was looking for a short video just to get the job done, I stumbled upon this video and felt like I just took a masterclass! Really good information sir and a well deserved Like and Subscribe! Have a good one.
Why is your CST so early on in your node tree? Shouldn't you have it near the end so that you're making all your adjustments on your source material w/ the most bit depth before compressing?
That’s an node with CineMatch not CST. I’m using it to enter into arri color space and grading in that color space so no compression happening yet, just a different large space. Then towards the end of the tree in using the arri rec.709 LUT for my 709 conform. But yes if using CST to conform to a smaller space you should be using that later in the tree 👍
Very cool tut. But it is different if I do the stab from edit than color? Because they are the same GPU motor acting. there is another way to stabilization on Color tab Classic stabilization with cloud tracker and is is really good for car shots and walking scene.
Do you ever do drone footage? I have one that pans and turns a bit rough in spots. I was wondering if you could also manually smooth the stabilizer. I see the tracks in the window. I have edited simple ones in the display window. I might have to take it into fusion.
I do but thankfully my drone has not presented me with the issue you have described. I am not currently aware of manually adjusting the stabliization, certainly not with in the color page which is where my experience of the tool is. People with experience stabilising in other pages may have more info for you. From what you're describing a manualy keyframing the adjustment of the x position within the inspector may be an approach worth exploring.
You are amazing, thank you for actually going into depth at what these tools do, you have no idea how difficult it is to find this kind of quality content regarding Davinci Resolve. Subscribed for fucking sure.
DaVinci is so inconsistent with the stupid Pages. You can stabilize on the Edit page the color page and Fusion and they all are different. Same with Voice isolation on the edit page and fairlight. the edit page gets no love
you know, I used to think like that too. now I understand that Resolve is a workflow oriented software. The color page favours the color correction workflow. so if you need to say, track something in the color page, it should favour the color.correction workflow. so it should work different. interact differently with the tools avaliable. same thing with say stabylizing a shot. on the fusion page we get a more robust tool that the effects guy can spend some time on, and in the inspector on the edit page we get a more simple tool the editor can use quickly if it does the trick. but both use those inside their workflow, matching their workflow quirks.
Nothing against this particular creator, but it seems like a lot of the youtube channels touting coloring in Davinci give themselves the same tan clay look in their vids. This is gonna age so poorly.
Agreed. I was forcing a 500T film emulation on this setup and though the skin tone sit on the skin tone indicator of the vectorscope, there’s a lot more going on than just lining up those hues and as a result it doesn’t look great. For me it’s actually how the tones are washes out that I don’t like. I’ve since tweaked this PTC look and it looks far more natural IMO. It’s still based on 500T but much less heavy handed with how much emulation is being used. I’ve always used my channel and the grades I do on it as a testing ground for pushing looks. What can I get away with and what can’t I get away with? I take those learnings and keep them in mind for my professional work (and future TH-cam ventures) so I can become better and judging where the line is. This is a perfect example of where I’ve got it wrong and it’s been called out and now I know for sure it’s not just me who wasn’t please with the look but it’s also not sitting right with the audience. Super valuable feedback, thank you!
"Now let's jump into the software and take a look at the approach I take."
*cuts to the most elaborate node tree you've ever seen in your life.*
🤣
lmaoo i was like wtf is going on here...
Looks like every mouse click was noded.
It's just his grade, you only need a single node to do all of the tracking and stabilisation seen in the video.
THE BEST Davinci Stabilization video out here. I'm applying a lot of it to my video going live tomorrow! Thank you!!!
Wow, Thank you!!
Saved me saying it.
Super in-depth tutorial that includes the why of the settings. Most videos give you a one size fits all solution that doesn't allow the viewer to understand. Love the depth and thought you put into explaining the concepts/functionality of the stabilization feature in resolve.
Hands down the best short explanation how the stabilization should be used.
Great tutorial! I've always used Similarity, but it's cool to know how Perspective can be used too. Also I didn't know you could do this in the color tab. I like that!
Never seen a clearer explanation technique than this, very nice video indeed
So what is the difference in using it in the color tab vs the inspector tab? looks like it just runs the inspector tab...
Best video on TH-cam about davinci stabilisation by a mile.
best stabilisation video ive seen in a while, thank u 4 that great work ;D
Really helpful video! Thank you!
This was just what I needed, I have some 15 year old mini DV footage and this has helped, thx
I was deciding on getting a camera with gyro stabilization, but seeing as that might not be a necessity my options have opened up. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Well done. I love, that you speak from experience and do not present yourself as the master of the game, like some dudes who just presenting the obvious as if this is some guru knowledge. So thank you very much indeed.
Really good video this by someone who understands the mechanisms properly. Good job - take the rest of the day off.
Thanks for the video, any chance you could explain how to stabilize drone footage, where i want to straight the horizon line? Thanks
I never thought about tinkering with the parameters before. I just went through the motions of trying perspective, translation or stabilise and if they made the shot look funny then I’d stop using the setting. I will now experiment with the extra smooth and strength to see if that helps.

Amazing tutorial. You are a great teacher. I will be checking out the rest of your work.
Great Video. What are good settings for a tripod shot with cars going by. There's just a little jitter that I'm trying to smooth out entirely, Thanks
Very helpful and thorough. Thank you!

Interesting idea! That would be a cool addition! GoPros stabiliszation is very impressive.

Great Video, very well done 👏🏼
thanks :) I just learn that you can cache you NR noise alone to avoid disable it
Great video. Very helpful. Liked and subscribed!
thank you for explaining different cases in stabilisation. 👍
Good explanation! really loved it

this feature is available in the public beta right now. its a life saver
Amazing tutorial. Thank you so much!

An excellent description of the options, cheers
Thanks for watching!
Best stabilization on Davinci ! hat down ! +1 Sub !!
well done.. liked it very much...

Bro ! That dehancer grade is beautiful do you have a tutorial on that?
amazing lovelovelove
Very good information ,thank you.
This is an amazing tutorial with abundance of information - pure gold! Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH BROTHER. it WAS REALLY HELPFUL TO ME
Fab video, thank you!

Thank you saved my time
How long does it take to render 1080p footages , 4k footages, 6k footages? How much minutes of render per minute of footage?
Do you ever do drone footage? I have one that pans and turns a bit rough in spots. I was wondering if you could also manually smooth the stabilizer. I see the tracks in the window. I have edited simple ones in the display window. I might have to take it into fusion.

Thanks Bro!
Really loved that video , I am new to davinci (using on my ipad) and this video helped a lot
Thank you! I didn’t even consider the iPad version when I made this so I’m glad you found it helpful.
Thank You.
Ok, I'm a noob and after seeing that intricate node scheme, I'm gonna uninstall the program
need more nodes in there bro.. not nearly enough! lol
You are amazing, thank you for actually going into depth at what these tools do, you have no idea how difficult it is to find this kind of quality content regarding Davinci Resolve. Subscribed for fucking sure.

Get the Best Video Stabilization in DaVinci Resolve by switching to a software that doesn't have bad stabilization capabilities
Just know how to use the freakin software
@@bigbangboo DVR is inconsistent. edit page, color page and fusion all have different versions of tracking and magic mask. DVR = find workarounds
Just out of couriosity, what accent is this?
