today i was perusing our slash davinci
resolve today and stumbled upon a
question from youtuber plus extra so i
checked out his channel and turns out
he's brand new on youtube and i'm all
about helping new youtubers new content
creators whenever they have trouble
that's exactly what the show show is all
about i don't pretend to be the go-to
source for all things video editing but
i know some things i've learned some
things and as i learn things i love to
share it and so i'd like to help
this youtuber today so i'm going to show
you real quick what's what he's
encountering you see his microphone how
it has the ey that's actually part of
the screen behind him because as his
microphone pulses in and out of colors
these are rgb lights it hits green and
suddenly because he's on a green screen
it keys out and you can see the text
behind the microphone so you the
microphone basically goes invisible then
it goes back to other colors that are
not green and then it's going to go
invisible again but the problem that
he's encountering most of all is when he
wears something like this shirt for
example that falls toward the green
spectrum and then he's got green in his
hat that's a problem
we're going to address all of these
issues i'll show you really really
quickly
what plus extra is encountering i'm
going to bring up my qualifier switch to
3d as i've shown here on the show show
in the past and let's just remove that
background really quick and dirty and
there we go
and so now you can see that we've got a
little bit of a bleed on the edge so
what am i going to do i'm going to
de-spill right watch his shirt in
particular ready go now we've pulled all
the green we've got rid of the dec uh
the spill but his shirt is now it's not
the right color that logo
all right watch his hat this is
important that's his logo d spill and it
pulls the green from the hat that's a
big problem so i'm going to help
him fix this issue today i'm hoping that
this will help you as well
but let's uh let's be really thorough
here let's first of all talk about this
microphone that to me looks like the
quadcast s from hyper x so i did a
little hunting and i wanted to know can
you actually control see how we're going
translucent again because he's green on
the green screen can you can control the
actual colors of the rgb lights and sure
enough i'm going to post a link in the
description below hyperx includes uh
software that you can download ingenuity
which is a better software available for
windows only but the hyperx ingenuity is
a powerful and intuitive software that
will allow you to personalize your
compatible hyperx products set button
bindings blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah control all you want
set up lighting and effects it allows
you to control the rgb colorings of your
hyperx quadcast s
so
install that this is what i want to tell
you pop that onto your windows computer
and set your microphone so it never
touches green in the spectrum and i want
to see
how that affects your next videos now
let's jump over to this now
this of course is done with the
permission of plus extra so he sent me
this behind the scenes clip to show me
um you know how he's shooting and see
what we can do to fix this for him so
first of all you've got a great chroma
key here buddy this looks really really
good i love it you've got good lighting
you're not casting a lot of shadows it's
probably better than my own chroma key
here at the studio so that's a very good
you're going to get a good key there
so
let's fix it first thing i want to do is
grab this video track this is kind of
interesting this is we're going to have
a little bit of fun here and i'm going
to show you how i do this and again i
don't pretend to be like i'm not going
into fusion because i i'm not there yet
i'm not that advanced i'm basic but i i
think with that because i'm willing to
show you how i would do it i think
you're going to find that this is a
really really easy way to correct this
so i've actually duplicated this why
because i'm going to pull the green from
one and then i'm going to use masks from
the other i'm going to show you how i do
that so i've i've turned off this video
track so i'm only looking at the bottom
video track i've highlighted it and they
are both perfectly aligned i'm going to
go into my color correction and i'm
going to use
3d qualifier i've got a video that
previously has shown how to use this
but i'm going to pull the green from the
green screen here and we're going to do
a nicer job
so i'm going to change that and i don't
need to explain this because i already
have follow the links and you'll be able
to
see this okay so we've got some
splash down here from shadows
we've got some down here from shadows
that's great so we're getting a good key
um boom and then i'm gonna d spill and
now his green is gone from the stuff
that we want the green in now next up
i'm going to go into our
what is this called they call it window
and i'm going to grab a square window
and i'm going to put this up at the top
left of your green screen because it's
kind of on an angle see that and i'm
going to go like that and then i'm going
to grab the right hand side whoa don't
want the red one
ah there we go bring that right to the
edge and bring this down
all right and right there so basically
i'm just cropping out that background
where you were kind of bleeding over the
edge and so now we've got a pretty darn
decent key i want to confirm that so i'm
actually going to move these up one i'm
going to add a solid color underneath
just with my generators and i'm going to
change that to white
and go up there and now turn that one on
because i move these up right so i got
to fix that so you can still see a
little bit of spill down here and over
here so i'm going to fix that not spill
but shadows
so i'm just going to use my clean black
to fix that so right
highlight there go into my qualifier and
bring up my clean black see how that
removed those now we've got a perfect
key but we've lost the logo color and
we've lost the shirt color and the
microphone color happens that the
microphone's in front of you in front of
the shirt that we're about to fix so
that works out in my favor so now i'm
going to remove that white background
whoop i want to use my backspace not my
delete key and then i'm going to turn
back on this layer so now we've got a
layer that has all the correct colors
and a layer that just has
you with out the background okay so now
i'm going to turn this one back on and
i'm going to highlight it and then go
into my color and
now this is again we're learning the
magic of davinci resolve i'm going to
start with your shirt this is going to
be kind of fun so i'm going to bring up
my window i'm going to create a circle
and i'm going to put this circle down in
such a way that it's going to kind of
cover all of your shirt logo without
going outside because we don't want it
to ever touch the green
and then it's got a feathered edge see
this this is the feather so how big do
you want that feather we don't want it
huge but we want it to be really really
clean so you see over here what's
happened is that this is
only the shirt so now if i go back to
well first of all if i i don't even need
to go back anywhere i'll just add alpha
output and then add it now notice i've
removed the key
because i've got that like that but i've
fixed the color of the shirt
see that
it's too damn easy
but
if you move
which you're not doing any moving so i
could just i'm happy with that but if
you did move you're going to step
outside of that and we're going to have
a problem so we're going to use motion
tracking in order to fix that if you
were moving more than you are then i
would use tracker with this circle
highlighted and just rewind to the very
beginning of the video press play and
see what it's doing it's doing this
magical 3d tracking of uh of your shirt
um and i i say 3d actually what i've
done is i've selected and i did this
previously i should have fixed this and
and mentioned it but typically out of
the box you're going to have pan tilt
zoom rotate and 3d enabled we've been
through this before on the show show but
because you're you're not moving forward
and backwards i've turned off zoom and
we want to turn off rotate and 3d
because you're not a drone flying
through through space you're just
sitting there uh in front of your camera
so so that that has now tracked
the shirt right so that's going to
follow as the shirt moves we're going to
need that for the hat for sure
the one concern that i have with this
hat is that anytime
you look up
let's see if we can find a spot there
you go see that it kind of disappears so
we have a potential to accidentally
reveal the green from the green screen
right there so that's going to be a risk
that we're going to take but
i think i have a way we can minimize
that so leaving this with pan tilt and
none of the others i'm going to go back
to
to our window and i'm going to click
this button up here to add a second
circle now see what it does isn't that
cool it's revealing
whatever but to see what it did to the
hat
it's revealing the uh the green behind
now i'm gonna make this super small i'm
gonna bring in the feathered edge
and then place this over the logo but
you'll notice if i put it over the
entire logo
oh you're gonna love this see it's
revealing the green behind okay that's
dangerous what i love and what i think
you're going to be thankful for is when
you have this logo designed or when you
design this logo the green is at the
bottom
so we can actually take this
and bring it in and we don't need to
have it over top of the blue we're just
going to put it over the green
like that
bring in the feather
and we're just going to put we're going
to get that green i don't need any of
that blue i'll just do that
[Music]
and bring this down
bring this up
see that
wonderful right
so it looks good in a still frame but we
know that your head is going to be
moving all over the place so if i start
skimming watch what happens so
skim here
oh he's outside oh he's inside oh he's
outside
that's where davinci resolve tracking
comes in so now that i've got that
positioned at the right spot i've
rewound the video all the way to the
beginning and positioned it i'm going to
go into my tracker and i'm going to
track
it follows it
so now
jumping back to my video and skim
what do you see
the green stays but the background is
gone
so i think that is how i would approach
this it's super simple this is how i'm
able to quickly correct the fact that
the logo on my shirt is green
but there we go so now i'm going to jump
back over to your video and oh we've got
some green spill under your arm that
might be
from
the circle
i might have this out too wide so i can
change that
like this and just kind of move it over
we don't want to get too close in
because we don't want to damage the
edges but let's see if that fixed it
yeah that's pretty clean that's pretty
clean
that looks great i mean you put that in
the corner of your gaming video it's
gonna be fantastic okay so now i'm gonna
scrub the timeline and look at the hat
and look at the shirt
oh we stepped outside see how we did see
when you looked up
be mindful of that as you shoot that's
one of the things as you shoot video is
you kind of learn what you can and can't
do that's going to be something that you
can correct if you want to kind of
manipulate that spot you can do that i
can show you how
let's jump back to where it happens
there we go
but you don't need to be too overly anal
about it i mean you're probably not even
going to notice it it happens so quickly
in playback but
right here i can actually just
i can just
ah if i back up a little bit and set a
keyframe
and then move forward
and bring it down just a little bit
manually now set a keyframe
and then move forward does that work
see if i can bring this down
set another keyframe
and then skim
i don't think it got my first keyframe
for some reason
so i'm going to move that back up again
maybe i didn't click hard enough
there we go all right so now
at that point where it was going outside
ah still getting it
i need to bring that down and
right there
i don't know that
yeah see it won't let me put it because
it's so
oh i didn't mean to do that uh it's so
close to this other keyframe
so you know you're going to have to
decide if it's really worth being that
anal about it um the keyframes can't be
that close together it seems
so but i mean we're getting a really
good key and that's a very very minor
look at that it's so minor if i push
play that's what it looks like
so you occasionally get that little blip
of green screen because of when you look
up we're hitting it but otherwise i mean
that's perfect there you go
so that is for plus extra but i think
you may use this in your production as
well
it looks great that's a perfect key if
