HOW TO MAKE AN ADVANCED COMPOSITE IN FUSION - Resolve 17 Tutorial [2021]
Today's video follows up with the Basic Composite and dives into How To Make An Advanced Composite in Fusion. This resolve 17 tutorial looks at some advanced concepts of how to structure a composite in Fusion so that you can create some believable effects in your projects.
The idea is simple: add in the elements you want in your shot, then step by step solve the immediate problem. Taking things one step at a time like this will allow you to understand each element easily, and help learn how things work together. And of course this tutorial goes over some simple effects, but the process is the same for more complicated projects!

Who else read this as “advanced composting” and now wants to start a farming channel?
I like that approach, add the big stuff and then work out the “issues” rather than getting lost in node tree trying to add the right nodes in the right places first. Your tutorials really helps to de-dramatize Fusion. Thanks for doing this!

I agree - 297 nodes!!!
I'm so glad this channel exists. I just installed DaVinci Resolve last night, and I found the fusion page really confusing but really intriguing, but after watching a bunch of tutorials on here, I feel like I understand it pretty well considering how the last time I did any compositing was in freshman year of high school for a music video project. :)
I've started digging into Fusion lately and your channel is like a Wikipedia for this software, great!
Casey, I am a DOP with 40 years of experiance on movies, TV series, music videos, TVC's and documentaries. And I have to tell you how greatfull I am for your videos. You are the best teacher I met in my life! Thanx a lot!
A tutorial on how to track masks would be awesome, specially if it includes having to change the shape of the mask overtime. Love your content!!!!

You can use planar tracker or tracker (I dont properly remember) for tracking the mask onto something. And keyframes for changing the shape of the mask. I learned it in this channel yay.

Not sure if Fusion has a tracker planar, but if you have AE just use MOCHA. If you track one object nicely, stablize that track and link all other tracks to that initial stabilized track and it saves a lot of time. Id imagine Fusion would allow the same if it has a panar.
I have to say, you are the most efficient content creator I’ve come across. Your videos are always educational to the point with a small bit of “You” always added in. Because of you I know how to use Devinchi!
Excellent! A lot like programming: break the program into small subroutines and solve each issue one by one 👍

Great comping video Casey! Love that lens blur technique...great job!
Probably the best Jedi Sensei in the world. Excellent
Had to pause the video around 8 minutes to say the method of teaching you're using in this video, essentially teaching by 'solving problems' throughout is EXTREMELY useful. It's so easy to apply what you're teaching here to our own creative ideas or similar methods - keep this style up! :)
Wow...all your tutorials are excellent...thanks for sharing...
I am super new to this, this is amazing. Love it
You’re already making my videos better. Thanks for the tutorials.
Thanks dude! It was fun watching how tough you are with Davinci ^)

I had to subscribe today, the videos are just so educational, witty, and entertaining. Keep them coming, thanks!
In love with these fusion tutorials :)
Really appreciate tNice tutorials. Thankyou brother
Not sure if that's a consequence of my comment asking for more advanced tutorials a few weeks ago, but I LIKE IT ! Thanks :)
Brilliant. Learnt lots !!
That bokeh tip is a real gem
Thanks for making this...
Thank you for such an excellent tutorial, what a great way to introduce compositing in Fusion
Wooo i was the 1k like! And i gotta say i enjoy the work you put in and the awkward ending "signature" is a great way to end informative videos!
this was so helpful! Thank you
Fantastic putting more personality into the video. Makes your content AND you attractive to future views
Another awesome video! Thanks Casey!
Casey, thanks, this is really making it much more clear how to use the various nodes and effects in Resolve, and I'm not only learning stuff to do in Resolve but you're inspiring me on how to do some tricks in PhotoShop as well using similar methods.
Excellent! ...as a 'Part 1' - the next video should take the outcome and nodes of this one and animate everything as video media - otherwise, it's more like a Photoshop instructional, on a still image. ...but thanks for clarifying nodes further.
Excellent tutorial! Super fun and helpful.
wowzers absolutely fantastic
Thanks! Your videos are funny and helpful!
Very well timed again, thank you Casey. I’m currently learning green/blue screen comping. Would be well up for a tracked-mask for comps video 👍🏻
Awesome. Very helpful and so easy to follow 👍
Another great video with essential tips. 👍
really good vid! when it comes to film grain, I find adding film grain to only the asset and then matching the grain RGB values on the asset to the backgrounds grain RGB values really sells the in-camera look. learnt a lot from this though!
Awesome! Thank-you.
exactly what I needed, your videos are very clear !! thank you!
Awesome. Many Thanks.
That was a very informative video. Thanks for posting!
CF YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!! Thanks again and again my friend, feelin' the Resolve love on this side of the youtube screen! ^_^
These are great for people like me learning fuion as I go. A giuide on tracking masks would be amazing. Thanks!
Hi Casey, thank you for this series of videos you are releasing. They are clear and concise. A video about mask tracking would be useful (even if, tbh, at this point I should try doing it myself since you already covered the tracking topic :)). Keep up the good work!
Your tutorials are awesome 👍
Excelent!
thank you again!!!!!
Appreciate another great lesson.
Great Video. Thx.
Great video
Thank you very much for sharing this.
This is great stuff Casey. Could you have also color corrected the robot (warmed up a touch) to emulate the environment? Thx for the lens blur aperture blade deets..that's helpful. Also the grain I will try next time. All the best!
You just got yourself a new subscriber ...
Well, nice, at the end I have a picture in a program that is used for videos 👍
Can you show how to do video compositing. So adding videos to videos and doing this kind of thing. So you can basically merge two videos
Thanks, more like these would be good. Ones that demonstrate VFX industry workflows with combining multiple elements together tin one believable effects shot.
Please make tutorial about difficult cleaup situations and how to solve them (eg. uneasy camera movement / removal obejct going out of frame / what to do with flares etc.)
You sound like Ryan Reynolds at times 😂 Great tutorial btw!
YES would love to see more on the same tools but for TRACKING, when the footage moves alot more? can you suggest from your channel the right video? I would love to see for example how you would track multiple little polygon masks for lighting adjustments (like you mention in this video) across a moving scene (... and is it even practical? does it work?) thanks!
Once again I am loving all of your videos, just curious, how often do you run into a situation where you want to do something in fusion and you find out you’re not able to do it. I would imagine very rarely, but if so, what was the circumstance?

Idk if this is fixed now, but what's horrible with fusion in 16.0 is that you can't hear sound, so you have to guess where to edit your cuts and changes or go back and forth between edit and fusion every time to edit it well.
gr8 video tutorial....thanks🙏
Well done
Cool!!!!! :)))) Thank you.
Hi Casey, thx for the tute's. Have you done anything on tracking with fusion compositions. I have done a HUD composition and need to track it to head movement.
Hey Casey, decided to switch to Resolve after 6 years of adobe and your tutorials are a godsend! I was just wondering if there is a feature in resolve similar to the roto brush tool in after effects. I used it quite a bit in after effects and it was way easier than animating masks manually, I've seen magic mask, but as I understand that only really works on people. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!

magic mask (v18 as im writing this) works phenomenally on not just people. just finished a jewelry session with model taking on / off rings and it tracked the CC'd ring all the way thru. def worth looking into.
I love how Fusion is man They took the "Nassi-Shneiderman diagram" theory of basics of learning computer science and turned it into pretty much adobe afteraffectds and it REALLY works.....seriously if you understand a NS Chart, Fusion is one of hte easiest animation programs honestly to be released ever....its just wow....i'll stop now..but yeah easy :)
Nice good tutorial, but just curious is it possible to place a moving object in the background ?
Just super! Thank you very much. But the face didn't come out very well. It feels like it's the paint on the face, not the blue light:). But as I understand it can be corrected, you wanted to show the principle. Thanks again.
So helpful, thanks
Love your tutorials, Casey! I'm learning Davinci Resolve little by little and your's and other's videos helps tremendously. Hey, how do I upgrade from Studio 16 to Studio 17?
love all your stuff thanks fine sir :) i was wondering how to take a wide angle video shot of person and create portrait depth of feild bokeh in fusion of video clip. i know its complex no matter what but like IMAX look the revenant . thanks for your time sir. your videos are game changer for me.
Can you show us how to pull an image from the web to composite in Fusion?
Thank you for the great video Casey!! I can't seem to find the Lens Blur node in the search bar. I'm using Resolve 17, but I can't find it. Is it studio only?

I think it is, unfortunately. Also the film grain if I'm not wrong. You can get away with other blurs and noise though.
Would really love a tutorial on how to drop ground shadows for green screen footage. I've scoured the internet and haven't come across one for fusion. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't seem to find a 'skew' node.
Casey why can I not edit my video MP4 files from my new Sony a7-4 in Resolve 17 please just have sound and no video? Or do I need pro to do this?
Great tutorials! Many thanks. I'm new to DaVinci Resolve 17 (Free Version) which I downloaded to remove the background of a 2 minute interview so I can replace it with another image. I learned how to Rotoscope the individual so I can remove the background. The head is rotoscoped separately because while her body is stationary during the interview, her head moves/changes position a lot--as she is talking. I don't know how to have my rotoscoping move with her head positions during the interview. Is that what you refer to as tracking? And, do you have a tutorial on that?
Why connect the polygon mask to the mediain and the lumakeyer on 6:00? I'm confused
Great tutorial for composite masking! I'm using it right now! Thanks a lot!! I have a question; can't you correct the original media separately in Color? Or only inside Fusion? If I open Color, I see the Merged composite and correction affects the whole thing.

Color comes after Fusion, although fusion has nodes that let you correct colors

@@CaseyFaris Yes, I know! Let me explain better; I have two original clips in Color with corrections. Then I'd like to add a basic mask to one of the clips. Use Fusion. It works but now, when I open Color, I see only the merged clip and corrections affect the whole image. If I could correct the two clips before the fusion merge, I adjust better the integration. The workflow: A 2 clips in Color + B Fusion merge with mask, etc= result in Color. Can I go back A?
Will you please please please please PLEASE make a tutorial on how to track masks in fusion? I don’t know if I’m wording it correctly but I can’t seem to find what I’m looking for anywhere. An example would be-say you look down at a cup of coffee, and as you look down you zoom forward into the coffee cup. The coffee is masked, so halfway through the zoom action you’re met with a second video that’s tracked in the masked cup of coffee. I imagine something like that is possible?
Thank you!!
Hey Casey, do you know what the Match input on the color node stands for? Is there a way to feed the node a reference and it will match colors or histogram of an element to another? I tried it out but still don`t know exactly what its doing. Seems to match something...
Thanks
Resolve Studio / Fusion does not yet support Deep EXRs correct?
Nice tutorial! Congratulations! I noticed that the border of the first mask of the robot is visible in the shot. Any advice on how you remove that?
The only question I have is why did you "correct" the shot so that it looks "right" for the added in robot, rather than the other way around? It seems like it would have (1) been easier and (2) more natural to just change the white balance on the robot to match the incandescent lighting of the shot. Especially since the robot is "living" in the room, not the other way around. It doesn't make sense to me, so is love to learn the reason why. Or was the decision made that way so that you could show some additional tools/techniques? It just send like more work to me, especially if the talent was moving (more tracking masks).
Perfect! But I wanted "2 robots"!
I would love to know how you made that fire explosion effect in the beginning :)
i think you can on a default make two videos on every tutorial you make. part 1 , basics part 2 , advance we always want more ! =D you don't need to ask! i'm waiting for the next lvl on this video 👍😄
awesome
On the Blackmagic page they sell the Fusion alone, without the Davinci. My question is, that fusion does exactly the same as the one inside the Davinci.
We need GREN SCREEN tutorial!! I tried 4 different KZreadr's way. It's a train wreck even with pretty good lighting on green screen. I crop the image and see BLACK background instead of the image behind the main footage! Are you going to show DR16 (or 17?) How to Green Screen please?! Help!
@Caseyfaris Speed Ramp Tutorial? Thanks!
How does one learn what all the effects do?
13:17 how to do that?
Wonderful! So freakin' helpful!
Thanks for the tutorial. I thought you were the guy from Film Riot. I´m sorry. Cheers.
@Casey Faris this is really advanced compositing ?
hey Casey. thanks for sharing. Amazing Stuff. I'm surprised how much DaVinci has to offer. Can we do better compositing here than in After Effects? It looked like it. Or you are just an expert. Can you please go really really slow.. OR do you have some tutorials for like absolute beginners at DaVinci Resolve?
How does this work when making light pass composites? I'd really like to see that.
