Hi Casey, thank you for providing good content with your videos, which I am looking forward to watch the rest. I do have to highlight how you get straight to the point and explain step by step in an easy way. It helps me so much for my son's YouTube channel. A channel worth to be subscribed to 😉👍

More on masking, please! You are hands down the best DR Fusion YouTuber or any other tuber.

Thanks so much for the quick, simple fix. Seems like a simple thing but since I haven't been using Resolve long, it was more annoying that it should've been. Also, things went better when I made the right sound effects while working -- thanks for the bonus tip!

You are always here, just whenever I require some fusion help and you are at place! Great help Master!

[penguinYT]

Yes, please. More masking tutorials. (And thank you for this one.)

Hey Casey, thanks for this tutorial. How do you ease in/out using this method?
I'd like the text to slow instead of just stopping.
Thank you.

Hello Casey, I want to know how to use the mask in combination with the delta keyer in fusion - here is the situation: I have object shot on green sreen but also I have a wooden piece sticking out of the object. As I'm doing it right now I use the 3d keyer in color tab, after that I create another node for a power window for the wooden stick which I key. This is kinda ok, but if I want to resize the frame and object in the Edit tab it makes a lot of mess.

Great tutorial. I was wondering how do I remove a person from a picture that has a background?

@Casey - I am bringing an FBX mesh into a tracked camera. How do I mask it? Regular rectangular mask does not act the same for 3D objects. But when I attach it to the render node it will masks the whole scene. Just wants to mask the mesh in the scene.

how can you do a magic wond selection on your image. on a certain object and mas it into another object withitn the same image like in phosotshop... can you do magic wond selection in fusion? thank you..

Casey do you have a video on how to mask objects on a person face and then track it Im trying to do a terminator scene

[ShaneHerringPhoto]

I love your vids. I always get a laugh and good info. To follow on from this vid, I'd like to be able to move an image behind the mask. Mask stays still and image moves behind it. Any clues on how to do this? Cheers.

I like your Micro Learnings! Perfect for beginners.

[elijahlooi]

hey! i saw a few other videos and realized you can also mask in the "color" section. I tried both and they work. What is the difference and which should i use?

If you could cover how to invert text layers over a Fusion animation that would be great. For example, I have footage playing under a particle emitter layer, and I want to have text scroll across the screen that shows the footage playing under the Fusion animation inside that text. I'm probably just putting the node in the wrong place or something, or there's a mask interaction I don't understand, but I've tried everything I could think of and I cannot get it to work. Hopefully that makes sense.. I'm trying to let go of After Effects, and this is such an easy thing to do there.

how to maske a rectangle? I made a rectagle to create some glow effect card and I want to use a rectangle to mask the glow as the text appear too...

In after effects we can convert the word in to individual letters can we do it on Resolve
