in the previous versions of davinci resolve to chroma key green screen footage there were only really two ways you could do it you could go into the color tab and select the color you wanted to key or you could go into the fusion tab and use the keys in there to do advanced visual effects compositing with nodes but in the new version of davinci resolve 17 you can now do green screen chroma keying inside the edit tab and this is perfect for anyone who may be new to resolve or just wants to do quick green screen or blue screen keying without having to navigate the fusion tab anyway let's open up davinci resolve 17. okay so i've opened up davinci resolve 17 and i've imported my clips that i want to use i'm just going to find the clip that i want to use i'm going to use this clip here so i'm just going to double click let's preview that and let's select our in and out points so i want the clip to start from about here and i want it to end about here so i'm just going to drag the video only into our timeline and put the video one i might actually bring this up to video two and i'm just going to get our background footage and i'm just going to double click that you know what i might just click and drag it just into video layer 1 just so it's right underneath our green screen footage and now let's get into the keying part so we want to go to the top here and we want to go to our effects library make sure that's selected and we want to go down to open effects and we want to scroll down to resolve fx key and we want to choose the 3d keyer and we're going to click and drag it on top of our footage and once we've done that we'll just select our clip and make sure we're in the inspector window and we'll go over to effects and when we open it up we're going to see our 3d keyer and then we'll go down to controls and we want to make sure that our eyedropper tool is on this first option here and we're just going to before we click and drag because you're not going to see anything we're going to go over here and by default it's in transform we will actually want to go down to open effects overlay we'll just check that and then now we'll click and drag and we'll see a blue line and you're basically telling the 3d keyer plugin that this is the shade of green that we want to select so you can see that our clip we've got a few different shades of green so we've got like light to dark to light again so we're just telling our software that that is what's happening and right off the bat it's pretty good the key but we can fine tune it and obviously make it much better so i'm just going to zoom in and i'm going to scroll down and we can see a little bit of the stool is left so i'm actually going to disable video track one just so we can see it a little bit better and we can see a bit more green once we've done our first option we can actually add more blue lines to help with the key to tell the software that this is green so once we've done our first one we're just going to click to this far right where it says add it'll have like a plus button next to an eyedropper icon make some more lines and you can see when i click and drag you can see there are more bits of green that are being erased and that's looking pretty good i'm pretty happy with that but it's not complete it's not fully removed the green so let's go down and we're going to go to output we're going to change the output from final composite to alpha highlight black and white so generally when you are doing a key and you go to the black and white you want to make sure that your actor is completely white and the background is completely black so we can still see a little bit of white in the black a little bit of gray we can just keep adding more to get rid of it and that's looking pretty good and we can even control it even further so we've got this top half looking nice and clean but this bottom half here you can see a little bit of gray and we want that to be a solid white so let's go over to matte finesse let's just go to the drop down menu and let's just start adjusting different parameters so i'm just going to go down here i'm going to deselect show paths just so we can see the image clearer and let's just change the denoise let's just bring that up a little bit and then we'll clean up the black so you can see that this part is starting to disappear when i do clean black so let's just crunch that a bit more let's go to clean white and when we clean white you can see up here we can see that it's starting to make our character a bit wider but it's also making the um outside blurry we don't really want that because you'll see a bit of the green show so we don't want that to be too blurry so let's just find a good point about there let's just bring the black back a bit um let's adjust the in-out ratio and that will help bring out that key so i'm just gonna crunch it a bit more and let's just bring down the white clip so it's starting to fill in a little bit more over here it's making it a bit more solid that's looking really good there okay so that's actually looking pretty good i'm happy with that i'm just going to go to fit and i'm just and i'm just going to go down to our output and we're going to change that back to final composite okay so i'm fairly happy with this but if you look closely at the clip you can see that there's a little bit of green spill and that's a really easy fix so let's just turn video layer on just so we can see our final clip so let's scroll back up to the top and we're just going to make sure we select d spill and you can see that it shifts the color a bit so now our actor is looking nice and clean there's no green spill then now when we play the clip back we've got him falling through some neon triangles all right so i'm happy with the clip here it's looking really nice but we can do a little bit more to make the image blend in with the background so we can select these two images and we can right click and we can do a new compound clip and i'm just gonna leave it as compound clip one and what that's going to do is it's going to merge our two layers our green screen footage with the background footage and it's gonna turn in into one layer and we can add some effects on top of it to help blend the two images together to make it look like that it's interacting with the environment and looks like that it's a part of the environment so let's just scroll down to glow and we're just going to drag it onto our clip and we're just going to adjust the shine threshold maybe not too shiny let's just adjust the spread and there we go so now we've just added a little bit of a glow to our clip just so it helps blend these two images together just so we have a bit of these neon lights glowing and going a bit over our character's face and arms and stuff like that just so it blends the image a bit better you can also add some camera shake and other stuff if you want to so i might just quickly do that let's just scroll down to camera shake and let's just throw it onto our clip and now we've got some crazy sort of camera movement you don't have to do this technique this is just like a little bit of an optional thing that you can do to help blend your footage in but that's how you key out green screen footage using the 3d keyer inside the edit tab inside of davinci resolve i hope you found this video helpful if you did give it a thumbs up and if you're new to this channel don't forget to hit the subscribe button and click the notification bell to stay notified
