Davinci Resolve - Alpha masks, transparencies and qualifiers
In today's Davinci Resolve tutorial, I'll show you how to overlay different clips with transparency effects and how to use the Qualifier.
These techniques, in particular, open up entirely new creative possibilities – in our example, we'll place a drone shot "behind" the windows of a lost-place house.
The transparencies are created using so-called "alpha masks." But don't worry – it's super easy, because we can use the tools we're already familiar with, such as the "Windows" (similar to the graduated filters in Lightroom).
I'll also introduce you to the Qualifier, a way to select image areas by color, saturation, and/or brightness (similar to the range masks in Lightroom). These selections can then also be converted into transparency.
In this episode, you'll learn about other very powerful Davinci Resolve tools, which – once you understand them – are very simple and logical to use.
By the way: If you like the transitions I used at one point or another in this video, you can get them at zvisual.cz (100 transitions, 500 matching sound effects):

There are also instructions on how to install them directly in Davinci Resolve (free version and Studio). I was able to get a 15% discount code for the first 30 customers, which you can get by using the code GWEGNERDE when purchasing on the site.
