Using Fusion to Clean Up Aerial Shots

From the team at DBOX the launch of a new YouTube channel called DBOX DIALOG.  Their first video was just published and is an in-depth look into using fusion to clean up aerial shots. The video also covers techniques that allow for easy retouching & overlays onto any type of moving clip.

This is aimed at people who actively work on shots integrating CG into real footage. No advanced knowledge of Fusion is required, but some awareness of compositing is essential.

The material has been broken up into chapters to aid in coming back to reference it.
