Keyframe Workflow
Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2021 8:01 pmHi there all,
I come from Premiere Pro, where the keyframe workflow is very intuitive. But I'm having problems in Davinci when I'm trying to mask. I finally figured out how to remove keyframes (not with the delete button which is, odd), but what I can't figure out is how to make a mask disappear in the middle of a scene without having to cut the footage in the place where I want to stop masking and then cut again to continue masking (let's say I'm tracking a target and he disappears for a second or two before I keep retracking him again). I'm pretty sure there is a way to do it but I can't find it anywhere. In Premiere it was fairly easy: you create a layer where you do the keying and when you don't need it anymore you cut where the mask should end. Can this be done here too with the nodes? Something like a timed node to be active until let's say 15 seconds and then have a new node take it's position? Or how else would you even do it?
