what's going on guys welcome to another DaVinci Resolve tutorial and today we're
going to be replacing the skies inside the venturi resolve so we're going to be
turning this into that okay so let's get started this tutorial going to be
straightforward it's not going to be so much about color grading but rather the
technique to use to replace the sky what I personally think about it I'm not
really big fan of doing any kind of really CGI work or sky replacement
within the color grading software there is a special software for it but in case
let's say you have something relatively basic and straightforward this technique
is definitely going to help you and work pretty well in this let's say there's
your timeline in this timeline you have to right-click and add another track
okay so we're going to call this footage and we're going to call video one sky
okay so I'm gonna put the footage on the v2 and I'm going to drag the sky at the
bottom to v1 okay and sky is obviously a still picture so let's say we doing a
color grading and I'm gonna do red lock film and just for this tutorial I'm
going to do right click and I'm just going to use one of the Koji presets
let's see this is a this is a red camera so I'm just going to do something like
this okay and probably I'm gonna do slightly light color grading just just
something a little bit to kind of give it a nice little look and I probably
gonna make everything a little bit warmer just like that okay and like I
was saying before this is not about color grading
anyways so here is going to be our sky replacement now sky replacement I'm
going to go to the eyedropper over here to the qualifier and I'm gonna only
going to be working in the luminance I'm going to select the highlight and I'm
gonna highlight only the darkest part okay and I'm probably gonna soften it a
little bit that way we don't have any hard edges hard edges is pretty much the
key we have a little bit light over here but you know for the sake of tutorial
we're not going to be worrying about this too much I'm also going to add the
mask right now to kind of make a soft feathered selection just like that
and what I'm going to do next I'm going to right click and I'm going to add
alpha output and I'm going to drag this to the Alpha Channel just like that okay
so this kind of looks freaky a little bit but if we're going to go into ki and
we're going to click key output then we're going to convert it then we have a
very nice sky replacement now as I was saying this technique is not perfect
because you have a lot of edges and I personally not a big fan of using this
kind of technique you sort of can play around I guess with the fettering and
minimize the impact but again probably it's going to be better if you're going
to be working in the dedicated software to replace the sky such as After Effects
nuke or whatever else you are using and over here if we're going to go to the
actual sky node we probably can just adjust the position just like that and
to make the whole thing even sweeter I'm going to do another node
and in this note I'm just going to blend pretty much everything together I'm
going to create a power window somewhere over here just like that and I'm going
to add a little bit of the color okay and maybe maybe a little mints just like
this and probably we can stretch it even further okay we turn this shot into this
looks really cool umm looks actually surprisingly very good considering but
in case if you have something more complicated I definitely recommend in
the future using more advanced software such as After Effects new or any other
software that you're using thank you so much for watching guys make sure to
