    I’m brand new to DaVinci resolve. I’ve figured out how to key out a green screen and how to use the motion tracker. Is there a way to attach the keyed footage to the tracked footage? Or should I just do this in After Effects?

    Software: DaVinci Resolve 12

    Hardware: 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display
    2.7GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5
    8GB 1866MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM

    Camera: Canon EOS Rebel T3i

    It depends on the nature of the scene and the composite. I think you can do simple composites within Resolve, but for really precise results, you’re better off using a dedicated compositing program like Fusion or After Affects or Nuke or something like that.

    Pages 970-972 of the Resolve 12.5 manual go into detail on how to do a match move to composite a sky replacement and match it to the foreground movement.
