I’ve watched several tutorials about the DeltaKeyer, and this is the best. Thanks.

[Jeff_Lee]

Absolutely the best keying tutorial I've ever seen, hands down. I'll definitely be recommending this one.

First time I've seen someone actually explain what the various options *do*, instead of just saying something like "play around with these sliders until you get something that looks good."

Endlich mal ein Video welches nicht so tut als ob Greenscreen praktisch mit einem Pinselstrich im passenden Effect zu lösen wäre. Danke Bernd

The other "Get perfect keys in 30 seconds!" YouTube vids can be a temptation, lol, but no better way to understand excellent Fusion keying techniques than with your detailed & logical walkthroughs -- very much appreciated! Cheers

THE BEST tutorial on keying I have ever watched on YouTube and believe me I have watched a lot of them. I like how you cover keying at both the conceptual / principles level as well as the nitty griity of which controls to use when.

amazing tutorial this is what i was looking for. The video about the advance technique is even more impressive. Thank you for your work!

[harlanrumjahn]

Excellent, as always! Top notch explanations, clear, precise and deep. These tutorials always leave me feeling that I gained understanding, not just "cookbook" following technique. Thank you for your efforts Bernd!

Thank you! This is such a great detailed but easy to follow walk throug of the Delta Keyer. It definitly can make a a great key out of mediocre footage. The hair detail is incredible.

[javajack-]

That is an excellent video. I will definitely do your compositing course in the future. You explain things very clearly.

[ericmuller]

This was an amazing tutorial. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. I have learned to much, and can't wait to apply it to my productions.

[FauxTenor]

This is excellent. He really knows his stuff, and it’s very clearly explained.

[lortega]

This is a really excellent class on DaVinci’s Fusion, the best I’ve found, thank you! 🙏🏽

[HeatherSpoonheim]

What a great lesson! I avoided getting into Delta Keying, and watching your video, because it all just seemed like overkill. I finally took the time this past week to give this a try - and it took several rounds for me to follow what you were doing and apply it to my own situation - but the results are on another level. Thank you.

Best tutorial regarding Delta Keyer I could find. Thank you very much. You're the master!

[muzura]

I think this is the most helpful, informative and in-depth chroma key-ing course on Youtube. Your explanation is so clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much for making this! I'd definitely check your online course as well.

[gappo]

That was a great tutorial and I appreciate the time that you spent on doing that. Will definitely check out your courses as well.

[SuperClau]

just the tutorial I was looking for in the last month. thank you!

[Jean-StephaneDoignon]

well done, I have been using the delta keyer for months and if I had seen this tutorial I would have saved a lot of time
in a few minutes I learned more than in long hours of practice 🙏

[TerrestrialVibes]

This was Great! Thank you so much! I had been over doing my adjustments and losing detail on the edges..easily see my mistakes and learned about 8 new things I wasn't expecting to learn as well.

Great Keying Tutorial! Glad to know the *Delta* *Key* is free in DaVinci Resolve. Learned a lot here, and my mind was blown when you "embedded" a second Delta Key onto your first one to really help clean up the noise inside your Subjects! I'd been failing miserably, in my Chroma Key work to attempt a clean "key pull" using a single Delta Key approach. I'm back to the video races!
