in this video I'm going to show you the new RELIGHT feature in Resolve 18.5! This let's you change the lighting of a scene and do it very well

Great example. I've seen several tutorials of this relight function lately, but you did it (as usual) like a boss! Thanks

[briandhuff]

Relighting a darkened scene is a really interesting idea, did not see that coming :)

[benmarxxshow]

Thanks, Casey! I think this is the only tutorial on Relight that actually shows how to add more than one virtual light!

Such a simple thing, but nobody else I've seen has bothered to show it.

I tried adding two more nodes, as with the first light, and I couldn't figure it out. But the new layer made sense, and I wouldn't have figured that out on my own. Again, thanks!

[MertBert]

This is such a lovely feature, and I LOVE that you can export the normal map as well. Perfect for VFX-compositing

[JasonYadlovski]

Great video Casey, love it! Just realized how big you channel has gotten, awesome man! Keep on crankin! 💯👍😁

[JimRobinson-colors]

Casey good application for the relight tool. Good that you found a different approach to it from all the other youTubers. I have noticed that BMD have suggested to do the surface map first and cache the node, then map it to another relight node to do the lighting placement - so in your example when adding more relight nodes that they would all use the same feed for the Surface map. But great application idea for using Relight OFX.

[Mr.Sleepless]

Thank you so much! I had to turn a daytime clip to a night time clip so I learned how to do that first, but I still needed to make it look like a light was illuminating the path...This worked wonders!
Super simple stuff but I'm a beginner so I needed someone to hold my hand haha. You're awesome :).

[jason_kovac]

Can you please post the FULL footage running with the relight effect applied? Was hoping to see how the effect performed while footage was running.

[smepable]

Congrats this is the first Tutorial on this that made good use of this feature. Thanks

[mohitmb]

This is insane. Thanks to davinci we finally are getting relevant and new features

[roehaus]

Another great video Casey... they just keep coming! Your video explaining nodes is the best one I've ever seen. Keep up the good work!

[glengreenman]

Could you post the entire length of the shot please? I'd like to see how well the Relight effect works with the characters moving in front of the light sources.

[postprocessed]

Great tutorial, one of the best there on YT! I would just add from side that for better performance you can create just one relight node, put a tick "Output Surface map" and feed this map for other relight nodes. In that case resolve would not need to calculate multiple relight maps and will be using just one, which will significantly improve the performance!

This is a very exciting feature and very new. You are usually my go-to person to find out how to do things. I love the results you gotwith this application of the effect, but I wanted to say something about one important fundamental that I needed to go to a couple more training videos before I figured out what was going on.

Your mind is really quick and you figured out that you didn't need to generate a map to use that tellls the effect what the rellative light values should beyou were able to use the original signal as a substitute and therefore get away with making this instance very lightweight.

The concept of generating and implementing the map is fundamental to understanding the way this effect works, and I am not sure you mentioned that. On my third viewing of the material I realized there were some details missing. You are so smart you don't need to razzle dazzle your audience. That's what I call it when trainers withhold a couple of ingredients for their special sauce becasue people want it and their clamoring generates more buzz. Call me boing, but I generally don't follow presenters who do thins often. It's too Las Vegas.

You are so good at what you do, people will watch your videos but on this one, a few words about the was this effect functions would have been helpful.

keep making great content You personality, enthousiasm and knowleldgewill keep people comeing back. Thank you for your time.

PS I'm still struggling to get the map part of the process to work for me. Is there an issue generating the maps if the video has been scaled up? I'm changing aspect ratio from 4:3 16mm film to 16X9 and my maps don' look right or work right.. They're soft and don't fill the frame.

[embedded_tourist]

I really like how your explanations reveal your problem solving strategy.
Cues me in on what to look for and how to adjust it.

[harrisongould]

Oh, I’ve done this work using Photoshop but it’s nice to know it could be done in DaVinci. Would be nice to see how it works with moving images. Also, I would’ve added… Just a touch of the moon’s light on the bike…but again that’s all Monday morning quarterbacking.

[Aiartistt]

I watch relight fx in lazy artist video n now watching urs

[GreenGoatProductions]

Wow, this is such a great application for this tool. I'm going to give this a shot using a person and a lamp. Thanks for (all) the amazing tutorials. Instead of making a new layer, can't you just make another power window in the same node?

[rickymcc]

I have bought DaVinchi Studio as it looks the way to go for powerful editing capability. But... your video just proves to me that I have a way to go before I can count myself reasonably competent. It feels a little intimidating when I reflect on how much I don't know. Still one step at a time - theory > practice > reflection then repeat. So with effort and perseverance I know I can achieve excellence too.... albeit many many hours work in self education.

Very cool, Ive been waiting for this to come. The fact that it does compensate for dimensionality is great. However, to my eye these re-lit spots, definitely look a little over saturated: play around with desaturation and you might get a connoisseur confused.
Great channel.
