  • Copy a mask from Color page to Fusion page?

    Posted by Andrew Mooney on January 10, 2020 at 7:58 pm

    Hello!
    I’m fairly new to Resolve but have spent many hours making a complex mask of a moving car’s windsheild using the Color page’s tracking as a tool. I’d like to use this as an alpha mask on the footage but it seems I can only do that in the Fusion page of the program. Is there any way for me to copy the mask I made Color’s tracker and paste it into Fusion? Or can I affect alpha properties of a video layer in Color? Web searches and guess and check have failed me so far. Hoping you can help me save my work! Thank you,

    Andrew

    You can’t move that into Fusion but you can use the mask as an alpha in the color page. Add an alpha output to your color node tree and pipe your mask into that.

    the color tab comes after the fusion tab, therefore you can‘t hand over your mask directly. but you could pipe your masks into a key mixer and then into the next picture input node, then render it out and import it into fusion…
