Heads-up Display

Digital Video Effects - VFX

Before we do anything, let's just take in a few minutes of Chuck Norris doing what Chuck does best.

CREATING A HEADS-UP DISPLAY FOR A WOMAN'S SPACE POD
Allow 10-12 hrs for this module

This learning module will get you comfortable and familiar with the Fusion page in DaVinci Resolve.  It's recommended that you complete the Road Movie module before doing this Heads-up module, since the Road Movie module is designed to get you familiar with some of Resolve's basics.

This starts with a video of a woman standing against a wall, and by the time you're done, you'll have combined several other graphical elements together with special effects and animations to create a complete composition.
