Doing it all in Davinci – PART 4 – Power windows & Tracking

Power windows & Tracking in Davinci Part 4 - Filmmakers Academy

In this part, we use in power windows to draw around something in frame, change the color of it and then track that grade onto it as it moves through the frame.

The story of this project put our young girl in a modern home playing with a model Aston Martin.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t possible to get hold of the correct model before the shoot date, so we ended up with silver model and the final car is a shade of white. So that’s obviously going to be something we need to adjust here to get around it.

I drew a power window and then tracked that power window onto that model of the car as the girl moved it through the frame.

DOING IT ALL IN DAVINCI PART FOUR - TRACKING

Here’s the process:

  1. You got to do this bit with the mouse.
  2. Zoom in a little bit to move around the object you’re tracking and get in a little bit closer and click around it.
  3. Go over to the tracker window and pull the tracker up.
  4. Set track forwards and it will do it’s thing.

That is one of the great things about Davinci resolve. I was sitting there with the client, they mentioned the silver car and I said, don’t worry, we can fix that.

When we come to do the correction and they said, “you sure it’s going to look okay?” So I just fired up the tracker, put the window around, hit track and it made me look like a miracle worker in front of the client because they were just blown away that it could be done that quickly and easily.

So I got that tracker on. And all I would have to do then is go in and finesse some things. We can change the color and it fits seamlessly into the final sequence.

In the next part, we’re looking at the button effects, specifically the lighting effects.
