Davinci Resolve 18 Automatic Depth Maps

Now Davinci Resolve 18 has automatic depth maps. Depth maps are very useful to create 3D scenes or to isolate a section of an image or video based on the depth. Previously depth maps had to be created outside of Davinci Resolve in programs like Photoshop or 3D software like Blender or Maya. Now Davinci Resolve 18 has a new Depth Map node in the Fusion Page. There is also a Depth Map effect in the Resolve color page and a Depth Map OFX effect in the Edit page. Each page where there is a depth map option allows Davinci Resolve 18 to do many more things than could be done in Resolve 17. Davinci Resolve 18 can now be used as a free 3D depth map generator.

Thanks for the quick tutorial on how to use this powerful new feature. I can see now how It definitely has possibilities for some of my work when you want to give some realism to a flat photo that needs it. It will unlock some opportunities that I did even consider before. Thanks again.
Almost forgot - that castle is Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria - Built by "Mad King Ludwig" and the other castle in the background was his mother's. I have been there and it was the inspiration for Walt Disney for the one in his theme park. I have been there and recognized it immediately.

very nice and useful informative video, please make more depth map videos from 2d image from different images to learn more. Thanks in advance wishing Merry Christmas.!!

ha ha the straw that broke the camels back! I have been on the fence for a few years with DR studio... but I bought it thanks you lol :) premier and after effects you will not be missed loolz :)

I think we could also take advantage of some parameters to create a matte instead of making the mask manually, we can also take this same matte to make a "hole" in the background image and use the effect "Erode/dilate" to someway hide the ghosty background image.

Great tutorial. This made me consider using Runway ML to easily generate depth maps for use in Resolve

I’m not getting this tutorial
I don’t know exactly what is wrong?
I need the animation for a particular project that’s due tomorrow.
Please how can I reach you?
I don’t mind paying.
Please 🥺🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you for the detailed tutorial! I have a question of using the depth map and displace 3d nodes. If I wanted to upscale footage from 3D 1080p to the same footage in 4K, could I use the upscaled depth map to apply onto the 4K footage and if so, how would the node tree be arranged?

Thanks 👍 didn't know you can use it in fusion page!

Convert 2D to 3D is always a tedious process, you need to rotoscope almost every element before adding depth map converter it help for the z axis placement the sky must be almost flat like a parallax effect to realy sell a shot like this, it also make good stereoscopic conversion possible.

Thanks for the video. Can you please post an image with characters on it and an alley turned into a depth map and the corresponding rgb image for download so I can see the quality of the effect? Thanks in advance

[mychanneltoletyouknow]

would love to see an actual example of this feature for commercial purposes. any recommendations?

[istominmusic]

Thank you! BUT... What about BOKEH? How i can use this map for make cool effect BOKEH and sweet defocus?

[sot]

which one is better this or depth scanner (aescripts)

[arnisbrown]

Great walkthrough. Do you know of a way to export the depth map of a single frame as a JPG or PNG, short of a screenshot? I've been searching for a while for a way to automate depth maps for a photos to animate them in After Effects (tried various things like Google AI/StereophotoMaker, and VoluMax is a bit of a pricey plug-in). Thanks so much!

I dont see depth map in the list when you do the shift + space on the node editor, could this be a feature thats locked to paid users?
With automatic1111 I can create a depth map for my image, is there a guide on how to do the 3d effect with an external depth map?
(I am trying to recreate the 3d zoom effect in capcut, but with more control over it (I believe its also called a dolly effect? tbh I am a complete novice, last time i used a video editor you had a timeline not nodes lol)

[toapyandfriends]

Do I have to have DaVinci resolve studio to use this or can I just use the Divin- She Resolve public behta??

[maximilianullrich]

Awesome video. Auto depth maps have a lot of potential. Just a quick question at 5:26 why did you import the same image again? why didn't you take the output of MediaIn1 and input it to ImagePlane3D?

[toapyandfriends]

Been searching all morning on how to do this in blender or some way I'd like to do it on video I hope it's possible on video

[mrk-ism]

I downloaded the free beta and the effect in the edit page says it needs Studio and in Fusion the depth map node doesn't even exist! :( Any ideas?

[Bright__steve]

How yo we watch the preview and also export
