Creating an Alpha Matte for Resolve
I have to create a 16:9 matte with a 4:3 box cut out in the middle. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a tutorial or any ideas?
I understand how to add a matte in Resolve… it’s Photoshop I’m not great with.Any help would be much appreciated!

Start by adding a new layer.
Use Marquee, and in the upper part of Photoshop, select Style: Fixed Ratio. Set Width: 16 Height 9.
Now, click and drag until you’re happy with the size. Fill it with black.
Select all (cmd+a) and use the Move tool, and center it in X and Y.
Deselect the selection.
CMD+click the layer so you select your 16:9 of black. Make a New Layer.
Invert selection and fill this with black. Delete the previous layer.The same goes for 4:3.. activate the Marquee tool, set 4:3.. and so on.

Thanks!
I understand how to do that part but am not sure how to carry it over to DaVinci with transparency.Would I save it as a TIFF and then convert it to a DPX?
