Using DaVinci Resolve

Most of the time automatic tracking is successful, but scenes can be complex and sometimes

an object can pass in front of your selected area, interrupting or affecting your track. This can

be solved manually using the keyframe editor. Refer to the DaVinci Resolve manual to

find out more.

You can track objects or areas in your clip using the tracker

feature so power windows can follow the action.

Using Plugins

While making secondary color corrections you can also add OpenFX plugins to create fast,

interesting looks and effects using the ‘color’ page, or imaginative transitions and effects on

your clips on the ‘edit’ page. OFX plugins can be purchased and downloaded from third party

suppliers.

After installing a set of plugins, you can access them on the color page by opening the OpenFX

inspector to the right of the ‘node editor’ Simply click the ‘OpenFX’ button to open the OpenFX

inspector, create a new serial node and drag and drop a plugin onto the new node. If the plugin

has editable settings, you can adjust these in the adjoining ‘settings’ panel.

In the ‘edit’ page you can add plugin generators and transitions to clips by opening the

‘OpenFX’ panel in the ‘effects library’ and dragging your selected plugin onto your clip on

the timeline.

OFX plugins are a quick and easy way to create imaginative and interesting looks.
