REMOVE The BACKGROUND From An IMAGE In Davinci Resolve

Removing the background from an image or video in DaVinci Resolve can seem a bit daunting at first, but with the right steps, it becomes a simple task. Here's a detailed guide on how to efficiently remove a background in DaVinci Resolve:

Step-by-Step Guide

Move Clip to Video Layer 2: Begin by placing the clip with the background you wish to remove onto video layer 2 in the timeline.
Open Fusion: Navigate to the bottom of the interface and click on the 'Fusion' tab to enter the Fusion page.
Select Magic Mask Tool: Hold down the 'Ctrl' key and press 'Space' to bring up the Select Tool menu. In the search bar, type 'Magic Mask'. Scroll down and click on 'ADD' to add the Magic Mask to your nodes.
Trace Object in Preview Window: Head over to the preview window. You'll see your cursor has changed into a dropper icon. Click and drag a rough trace around the object you want to keep. DaVinci Resolve will automatically detect and remove the background that is not part of what you traced.
Add New Background: Once you return to the 'Edit' page, you can now add your desired new background onto video layer 1.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly remove a background from your clip and replace it with a new one using DaVinci Resolve.
