in today's video we're going to talk about five new cool features in the new davinci resolve
17. feature number one is the magic mask basically magic mask is a roto brush
from after effects however if you use after effects you know how terrible that roto brush
really is once you start tracking forward it slides it's basically going out of control
and you constantly have to go ahead and fix it this new rotor brush or magic mask i should say
in davinci resolve 17 is excellent considering this version 17 right now it's still in the beta
so hopefully they're going to work on it and improve it further down the line however from
what i can tell you right now from playing around with the software for a little bit it works in a
very very excellent way so i'll definitely be using it and to me this is number one feature
in davinci resolve 17. the second feature that i find really cool in this new release
is the color warper tool basically in a way it's the same tool kind of like a hue versus hue
or hue vs saturation however it's a little bit more refined way and you have slightly
more control of your image you can do different grids and you can more precisely adjust your image
so this is definitely incredible tool especially if you want to be dialing a very creative look
feature number three is hdr color wheels you don't need to be grading in hdr in order to use those
color wheels so basically what's the whole fuzz about those wheels are just in a way kind of like
a log wheels just a little bit more precise so you can do a more finesse adjustment for
example if something clipping in your image you can adjust it with the more finesse for example
you can increase or decrease saturation or you can increase or decrease luma value of that parameter
and basically you can manually set the boundaries and have a little bit more control of your image
for example if something clipping or slightly clipping like the bright skies on the background
or you have a slight little bit specular in your image now you can use those hdr tools to dial it
up or down so i think it's a really cool addition to the whole color page i've been always advocate
for using false colors in davinci resolve and now finally they have dedicated plugin
so basically what is a false color a false color is a visual representation where your exposure is
it's just a little bit easier for those people who are having hard times looking at the waveform or
for example rgb parade to really judge their shots like if one shot brighter if another shot darker
with a false collar you just visually see your exposure representation based on the color
and the cool thing about it you can modify and basically set your own parameters for your false
color so matching shots with the false colors make it even easier with this new release 17.
and finally number five for me is collaboration it's a very incredible tool allowing people
especially in a larger projects to pitch in all together in the same project and give each other
feedback as they go so for example the editor can talk to the colorist colorist can talk to
a sound person and etc so i think it's a really cool feature especially now that davinci resolve
allows collaboration to be used in the free version and in the studio version and if you'd
like to know more about how collaboration works tomorrow i'm going to be dropping a free video
from my insider knowledge course how to use collaboration using frame io inside davinci
resolve so thank you guys for watching be sure to subscribe and i'll see you in the next video take
care
