you don't know how HELPFUL this video was for me, I was always using magic mask on the color tab and always wondered why my tracking "went away" as soon as I changed something in the edit page, I didn't know it's just the preview that disappears so a lot of times I would find another workaround and not use magic mask at all, thank you so much for this alex, you are a lifesaver <3

I just used magic mask a few minutes ago, - I got stuck so I went up to your channel to get help, - and there you have it. you just uploaded what I needed. thanks

Nice. I just got my studio license yesterday. Can't wait to be able to sit down and see what kind of trouble I can get into with the magic masks.

Great tutorial! But I wish you talked about the " Refine Range " slider thats next to the Quality option for the track on the color page. It's automatically set to 30. If you turn that down to 1, you will almost always get a better track. I've used magic mask for hundreds of shots and setting it to 1 has saved me much more time. 🙂

Alex I would love to see a breakdown vid of your PC build. 🖥 💪

[Hashtag__Taco]

This was probably the best magic mask tutorial ive watched! Thanks Alex!

[alischan]

I literally checked out magic mask for the first time today and now this video pops up. You are also one of the reasons I got studio lol. Great stuff Alex!

I didn't know Magic Mask in fusion was that easy, Thankyou for another very useful tip.

Man you just made my day.... Have been watching different magic mask tutorials but nobody mentioned what I needed to know, the huge difference in between color and fusion page🙏🏻 you earned a new subscriber!!

Been using Davinci for 2 years now and I'm only now finding out about the difference between magic mask in fusion vs the color page. Thank you!

[federicogiller]

The best tutorial on magic masks... I looked for hours, until I came across this video. Thanks so much.

[cherrylhewson]

Thanks, I had been using the color page, but now converted to fusion. So much easier!

I love that you're getting sponsored by awesome products like Nvidia. So on point with your content. Well played

[NoahBuehler]

Blackmagic really need to fix the fact that the Preview get's lost so quickli! You look at it wrong and already it's gone. Now if you use it for crazy things like cutting someone out entirely, you will probably notice, but if you try do a subtle color change on someones face, you might not reallize notice it again not being corrected later and then use a new node to fix it (maybe with something like the depth map). When you export you suddenly have the effect twice which might ruin your export!

Hands down best tuts on magic masks and also explaining the main difference between fusion and color page inputs. Thanks

[iandawkins]

Fantastic as always, perhaps Santa will bring me the full version. I have been good, well mostly anyway. 👍👍

[MarioCRO]

Love your live demos... real life examples are gold to see... thanks for your work and effort!

[writerinrwanda]

Really helpful, thanks. I was looking for whether you could track two objects at the same time with Magic Mask and you answered that. 😊

[IsaacWale]

Using this a lot for an upcoming video...

[dr.gregoryf.maassen]

A question for the DR experts. How can we apply Magic Mask to a still image, a photo? It would be really useful for the Ken Burns parallax effect on photos and other images, but I fail to make Magic Mask work on an image. Thanks for the video. As always, super useful tutorial. Congratulations on the Nvidia sponsorship.
