Easy Eye Zoom Transition in Davinci Resolve Tutorial

foreign [Music] clips into the timeline and the first clip you see here which is the one under is off camera zooming into my eye and it's very important to get this as perfectly as possible in camera so it'll be easier to edit later you can see that I am trying to find the point where my eye is opening and that's where I want my transition to happen into this Leaf so what we're gonna do is cut where this transition is happening so we can create a fusion composition and we don't need to render everything around it as well so it's easier on our computer so select those two right click and create a new Fusion composition open the fusion page and let's unchay everything so that it's easier for us to see what is going where first we're gonna add another merge node so we have two merge nodes we're gonna drag in a background connect the background to merge 1 then to merge 2 and then to Media out that you can see that by the yellow lines it's very important that it's yellow because that means it's a background node then you can see that the media out I can choose on which screen I want them to be displayed I want my media out to be on the second screen and I'm just clicking one and two on keyboard to see what the media is and media 2 The Leaf is going into the merge one node and media one the I node the eye clip is going to the merge 2 node and it's important that there are green lines connecting to the merge lines now make sure that you're on frame one and I'm just gonna make this full screen and on media in the eye I'm going to add a ellipse node and invert it now we're going to adjust the width and height so it's fitting in Just Around uh the iris the black part of the eye we want the ellipse to cover the iris so I know that it's about 0.04 in width and height it's obviously going to be a circle because the iris is a circle I'll gonna place it over the iris on the first frame I'm going to keyframe width and height and I'm going going to go to the last keyframe I'm going to move the ellipse back to the iris and adjust the width and height to 0.07 so that way we have animated that scale from beginning it goes from 0.4 to the end where it goes to 0.07 it's easier to do this in the beginning than later because we're gonna now adjust the position of this ellipse frame by frame so it's nice to have the scale already done so again go to the first frame click on the center X and Y keyframe that and now we're gonna go frame by frame and adjust the ellipse and as I said the scale is already adjusted so we don't need to worry about that it will cover the whole Iris all the time so I'm gonna speed this up okay nice so Auto done keyframing the position of the ellipse we can see that it stays on the iris perfectly and we have the scale adjusted and we're almost done what we are going to do now is animate the soft Edge slider basically it's like opacity so animating it to go from showing the iris to showing what's under a clip so showing in the leaf in this instance so on the first frame I don't want to see the leaf I just want to see the iris so I'm going to move the soft Edge slider all the way up to 0.2 then I'm gonna go just a couple of frames forward in time and move the soft Edge down to where the background the leaf is starting to barely appear and in this case it's around 0.4 that way the slider doesn't need to animate the dead space between 0.2 and 0.04 because there's nothing happening there and then we can just go to the last keyframe and go all the way down on the soft Edge to zero so now we'll go frame by frame we can see that the background is slowly starting to appear and going from nothing to soft to solid what we're gonna do now is zoom into the eye by clicking and adding a transform node between media and merge but first we need to adjust the pivot point of the transform node so click on your transfer node and hit tab on your keyboard until you get to the Red Cross this is the pivot point of the transform node and we're gonna go to the first frame and adjust the pivot point and place it on top of our Iris and then we're gonna keyframe it so create a keyframe on the first frame or for the pivot point and then again go frame by frame and adjust the pivot point I'm gonna do it every 5 frames because I'm lazy and I don't think it's that important for it to be very perfect but try to have it in the center of your eye of the iris yeah so I'm just gonna do it every five frames I'm gonna speed this up that way when we're scaling in our transform mode while scaling to where the pivot point is and it's on the middle of the eye perfect go to the first frame again and create a keyframe for the size go to the end and we're going to scale it all the way up until it covers all of our frame if your slider is not going as far as you want you can just type in it manually I'm just gonna go quickly into the spline two at the top here and soften the transform size keyframe by either hitting F or clicking this button so it zooms not linearly but it starts slowly and then picks up the space and goes through the eye it's it's much more nicer I'm also gonna do it for the displacement so but I'm just gonna do the first and last frame so it's a little bit more smoother gonna close the spline too and now we can see if we go frame by frame that we are zooming through the eye and the leaf is starting to appear nicely what I want to do now is a little bit extra by adding a transform node under the media in one the leaf and I'm gonna scale the leaf up when we zoom in so it's not stationary but kind of Zooms in a little bit this is not really necessary for this clip because the leaf is moving side to side but if you have something still or like moving forward it's kind of nice to have this motion so I'm just showing you that you can do it as well but you won't see that clearly in this specific example I'm also gonna adjust the keyframes here because I want it to zoom in and then go back to its original scale so I'm just gonna adjust the keyframes here of the leaf so I have I'm doing I'm moving it back to frame 50 and at the end I want it to be reset back to one uh you don't need to do this I'm just making it so it looks nicer so you can see it zooms in until the frame 50 and then goes back to size one at the last frame and actually one last thing I'm gonna adjust is the size of how much we're scaling and at the eye I don't think 20 was enough because I can still see the edge of the eye so maybe I'll try 23 24 25 let's go 25 so we're sure everything is covering and one last thing I'm going to do is enable the motion blur on the transform settings so that when the eye Zooms in there's a lot of motion blur on the side so it looks extra nice let's make sure the cache cache cache hey is working and that we render it as well and this is how it will look looks great I think so again it's very important to have this zooming effect in camera what we did in camera is that I had the person zoomed all the way in on my eye and then the person just zoomed out and then I just reversed it in post so it looks like it zooms in and one thing I'm just gonna quickly stabilize on this clip uh for some reason that doesn't work so I'm just gonna hit F on the clip and replace it with the original one quickly here delete the old one now I can stabilize it sometimes DaVinci some some things just don't work for some reason anyways so this is the result result and I really like it hope you understood this thorough leave a comment if you didn't so that I can improve for the next time I do one of these tutorials alright Please Subscribe and like this video and I'll see you next one bye
