Chroma Keying in DaVinci Resolve Fusion

Great series.  Learned a lot!  Please keep up the great fusion offerings here on Lowe Post!

Another great course. Thanks a lot.

Could you go over a workflow for compositing over a log image ? That’s a fundamental thing that is missed that I need to know! Like, how would I pass this shot off to a VFX artist and give him the most data to work with so that he can give it back to me for coloring and finishing? Could you point me in the right direction ?

Deliver the log image, original file or flat pass render.

But the original file won’t have any color information. How do I deliver a color corrected images so it can be easier to key?

That's not your problem, they will apply whatever transform is necessary before they do their keywork and remove the transform when sending the file back to you.

Okay, so if I wanted to do it myself, what would be the workflow then? I feel like I have to know this part of the workflow eventually (especially if I am wanting to get into VFX myself) do you know of any resources where I can learn this part of the workflow ?

Lee demo this workflow in several of his classes here on Lowepost. You simply bring the log shot into Fusion or whatever compositing app you are using and key under a LUT. Apply the LUT, key the shot and remove the LUT when you're done and ready to render. It's nothing else you need to know really.

Yes! I have been looking for his class that displayed this. None of the chroma key classes does, can you recall a class where he does this so I can go and check it out?
