It's actually one of the many reasons I recently decided to switch from the free version, and it's called 'Depth Map.' This tool is great because it lets you isolate the background from the foreground and vice versa. Next, I'm going to show you one of my favorite tools in the Studio version of Resolve. So overall, I do like adjusting my inside and outside softness, but I want both to be subtle, so in this case, I'm going to set them to between one and two. Okay, the blurring starts too far away from the subject. Now let's really push the outside softness to give you an idea of what that does. So, turn the power window back on, bring that back to zero. Oh, okay, so that's way too much inner softening - the coat and her hat and hair are being softened to a point that it just doesn't look natural. I'll just turn off the power window so we can see how this is looking. You can see as I do this, the inner points show how far into the subject will be affected. I'm going to make mine a little bit softer, and you can also adjust the softness from the inside. And we can adjust the harshness of the edge of our mask by selecting the first node with the mask on it, and in The Mask window, you can adjust the softness of your mask. We can use this blur slider to make it a little less blurry or more blurry depending on the look that you're going for. Open up effects, and in the library under Resolve Effects -> Blur, I'll grab 'Lens Blur' and drag this effect onto our outside node, and look at that - now our background's blurred. Next, right-click on your node and choose 'Add node' -> 'Add outside,' and you can see here that this shows everything outside of your masked subject. But if your playhead were somewhere in the middle of your shot, you could choose this double arrow icon to track forward and backward. So let's open up our tracker window, and since our playhead is at the beginning of our shot, we can press on this forward arrow. Okay, so now that we've created a mask around our subject, we have to track it to remain over her as the camera or she moves around in this clip. If you need to move any of your points, you can just click on them and drag them where you'd like them to be. Okay, and I'll connect my last point to the first one here, just drag it a bit so it's covering her. For the sake of not boring you to death, I'm going to speed this up a bit. Let's draw our mask around her by clicking and creating these points to create this outline. So, let's first create a mask by opening our power window tab and grabbing the pen tool.ĭrag your playhead to the beginning of the clip.

For the look I'm going for, I'd actually like to draw more focus onto her. To me, these leaves are just so beautiful that they're almost distracting a bit from the subject.

First, we can press 'P' on the keyboard to make this clip full screen. We're working in the color page today, and the first way to blur the background I'll show you works in both the free and Studio paid version of Resolve. If you're into that sort of thing, subscribe to our Channel, and now let's hop into Resolve and get started. If you're new here, I'm Ali, and I release weekly videos all about editing, gear reviews, as well as videography tips and tricks.
