Tracking Masks for Compositing in DaVinci Resolve Fusion 18

In this video we take a look at several different approaches to adding the tracker animation to our masks (polygons) in DaVinci Resolve Fusion 18. We will start with a simple track to add translation to our mask. Then look at a couple different approaches as well as discuss some of the issues with reference time in Blackmagic Fusion. After that we will add a second tracker and learn how to add not just translation but rotation and scale to our masks as well. Finally we will take a look at the Tracker Plus plugin from Reactor and how it can help simplify a range of issues.
