Holy smokes. I have edited about 120 videos in Resolve now, using Blade, select, delete/backspace, ripple, slide blahblahblah and after seeing this and simply using 1,2,3,4 -- I now demand 300 hours of my life back from The Universe. I didn't even realize there was a built-in Pro Tools template. I'm such a noob. Thank you George, I do not say this lightly, you just changed my life ❣
Thank you for the kind comment, I doubt I'd go as far as to take credit for "changing your life" 😁But I am very happy to hear I could at least help you in some way
Thank you so much, this video has zero useless "extra fat", no rambling, no clickbait, no promos just straight to the point, quick, useful tips. Very refreshing and so helpful.
I will now be adopting this method. I've been using Davinci for about a year now, and understand the importance of an organized workflow... but have still neglected it, and now I'm at the part where everything is messy lol. The stacked timelines thing is huge for me, so I appreciate it! :) Thanks George
Stacked timelines! 🤯Had no idea about that. The second tip is the one I always try to teach people once they are comfortable with the idea of cutting and trimming because it saves so much time! Great video George!
Some Quick Timestamps I made while watching: 00:45 - Stacked Timelines 02:55 - Better Cut/Delete Shortcuts 03:50 - Better Cut/Delete Shortcuts (Part 2) Thanks for the vid, helped a lot!
3:11 if you would set „Start To Playhead“ to „Q“, „Split Clip“ to „W“ and „End to Playhead“ to „E“ yo can get the same result just even faster without the unnecessary selecting the clip with the mouse and then deleting the selected parts. Just hit „W“ where you want to split the clip, move forward to the point where you want everything to be deleted until the last cut and hit „E“ - way faster! :)
100%, the w and e bindings save me so much time. I have split clip mapped to s too. Those bindings alone have saved me probably more than a full days worth of editing time alone just this year alone.
Hey, awesome tips, especcialy for the fast cutting. For a large No of clips, I would even recommend a tip 0 before your tip No 1 which emulates what is done on large film production sets every night with the 'diaries' (the many clips being shot during the day). There is even a SW for this type of work, Assimilate Scratch - but we can emulate it a bit with Davinvi Resolve: Create a new timeline and then go to the cut page, select the bin with your clips (you may have more than one bin with clips for larger projects), and take advantage of the viewing mode called 'Source Tape'. This will make all clips of a bin being showed in the view window as if it was one large clip - and you can navigate ('scratch') through them as if it was one clip. Then take advantage of the playback keys on your keyboard for 'scratching' through all the clips: - 'j' = backwards - 'k' = stop - 'l' = forward Pressing 'j' or 'l' multiple times will speed up playback for backward or forward. To select the part you feel good to go into the timeline just mark the beginning by pressing 'i' (= in) and 'o' (= out), then select via the mouse either smart insert or append insert to bring the selected part into the timeline - this works even over clip boundaries. After this initial 'Scratch', your tips are awesome to speed up things from there - will give it a try asap.
I enjoy editing more than I imagined. How you all grasp all the details on all the raw footage is beyond me. Organizing all your thoughts and keeping notes in your head is mind blowing in itself. What I do...is simply record fewer attempts, giving me fewer choices when I bring the SD cards home to edit. tHanks for the videos!
To be honest, I think using the cut page saves a lot of time as it's meant for quick editing. In the Cut page you can watch all the fotage without creating a new timeline, and you can easily trim and change clips position without needing any other timeline as reference. The last shortcuts were a nice tip tho :)
I think watching this for me it makes sense coming FCPX to see all the final footage in one place and my timeline i’m working from where as correct me if i’m wrong but everything that happens in the cut page affects the edit page so its nothing like a separate timeline.
Thanks a million, my friend! Great video, great tips, and a great, punchy title. You delivered on your promise in under 6 six minutes, and forever changed the way we cut our footage. Our fingers are smiling a big smile. Thanks again 🧡
The tutorials that teach the basics of video production are great, but tips like these are the real game changers! :D Thanks for sharing your "secrets" George!
AAHHH THAT STACKED TIMELINE! I have never thought of that! yes I'm gonna adopt it now thank you soo much. I do lots of events intro video to play on the big screen, so there is BAZILIONS of footage to go through and pick this would definitely help me to stay organized and speed up my workflow
Man, the stacked timelines feels like it is going to be huge for me. Stuff moving around on a single timeline as I edit is super annoying, but now I can edit without worrying too much about the order and then neatly place it to the second timeline when I'm happy with it! I'll definitely hotkey cut, start to play head and end to play head. Thanks so much for the info!
Gonna help you speed up tip #2. Place your playhead at a cut point - COMMAND+B will make a cut, play footage to where the cut ends a COMMAND+SHIFT+ BRACKET(the key next to the letter P) This does exactly what your tip does but you don't have to remap keys and you don't have to select the clip to delete the unwanted part, it's done auto-magically.
Well technically you don't need to remap the keys at all. That's kind of why I mentioned the part about setting them all up so I can use them with just one hand (and less buttons). The time saving part is exactly not needing to use both hands or reach across opposite ends of the keyboard 😅
@@georgekamenov_ I don't think you understnd why hectorinmotions version is faster. its has nothing to do with the remaping. I think you should give it a try...
I completely understand what he means. What he's saying, you can essentially do in the exact same way with my setup, except instead of using the default key combos he wrote down (which are slower than clicking just one button) I'd just have to click 1 to make a cut then move forward and click 2 to use the "start to playhead" function, effectively making it so I don't have to make 2 cuts, select and then ripple delete. With the way I've set everything up, to do what he's telling me to do I just click "1", move the playhead and click "2". And I'm fully aware of that, sometimes I do it that way. But the reason I gave the tip the way I did was because I felt like it gives me most control and works best for me that way. Of course, if anyone has a way they feel works better for them that's absolutely fine as well 🙂
gonna help you speed up tip # 2 Instead of making a cut then scrolling making another cut then selecting and ripple deleting, DO THIS!!!!! map DELETE SELCTED to a prefered key map RIPPLE DELET to a prefered key now when viewing you clip, just use in and out (I and O keys) to select unwanted footage. use RIPPLE DELETE to cut and join the two clips or use DELETE SELCETED to cut and leave a gap the size of the deleted clip. (good for visualizing if you want to add BROLL after, so there is some space) ENJOY my friend
Those tips were the best tips I’ve gotten from anyone! I literally searched google to try to figure out how to save time with cutting clips. I used to cut a clip or have a gap and knew there must be a short cut, instead of high lighting all the clips and manually dragging them to reconnect the clips. Thank you!!!
I was actually already doing the second half, but the first tip there could really make my life easier. Since starting RUclips in 2020 I have been all self taught and this year my resolution to myself was to learn better editing habits. Currently I dump all of my clips into the media pool, mark in/out in the clip monitor and pull down to a single time line. I find that I also often miss key moments of content or a flow because I am not watching everything at once. Watching how you take advantage of multiple timelines is going to change my entire process. I cannot even begin to think about how much time you have saved me going forward.
great tips! I think you could go even faster using the cut page. it does ripple cuts automagically and also lets you drop snips of clips right down where your playhead is. im sure you have messed with it but you can essentially move back and forth from edit to cut page and provably increase your output time a lot. im a novice at davinci but ive seen myself speed things up with the cut page
@@HamedEmine Exactly my thoughts too. So many people neglect the Cut Page, it's great for assembling a rough edit. 2nd tip is definitely a time saver though.
I was almost going to stop using resolve due to the torture that is having to swap between razor and pointer (A & B) slowing everything down and being less than 100% accurate thank you so much for making this video showing the one thing I desperately needed to keep going with this program. The cut to start and end was just a bonus. I’m legit keen on getting back to work. 🎉
Was just looking for the equivalent to the premiere Q/W shortcuts, and you cleared that up and gave me the stacked timeline tip in addition. Much appreciated.
The stacked timelines was gold! For weddings edits I create multiple timelines but never knew you could stack timelines so I can reuse color graded clips! Awesome man 🙌
I would keep making videos on Resolve brother. This video is crushing the algorithm because it’s quick, to the point and you are easy to listen to and learn from. Regardless, you will be monetized in no time and likely off this video alone seeing as it’s done 22k view in 9 days💪💯🙏🔥This video really helped me a lot! Thank you brother 🙏 Liked & Subbed!
Thanks, bro. I have a friend who said I should get into this(I have some music recording background) , showed me what he does(edits for TV) and now here I am 4 years later figuring it out 😅
Great tips - I haven't seen anyone else explain the multi-timeline workflow before so that was pretty interesting. Those edit bindings are a nice super-set of what I have so much appreciated! You have a new subscriber 😀
It's always very interesting to see how different people edit. You can learn a lot from different editing workflows and work out your own style of doing things efficiently
Thank you for those precious tips ! I've been editing for years without having any clue about this. You are already saving my times ! All the best to you !
I'm aware of the second one and I have mine set to "QWE" (while also switching between selection and trim modes "A & T")... and thanx for that stacked timelines tip, it's very nice.. I'm used to copying and pasting between tabs, but will definitely incorporate this trick.. thanx :)
Oh man am I glad the algorithm circled this video back to me! I picked up on something I didn't before: You moved clips from your timeline back to the media pool, in the form of a new timeline! How did you do that? This is exactly what I needed.
I didn't exactly. I had already set up 3 different timelines and just chose the clips that I wanted to use, copied them and pasted them into the timeline labeled "Selects". I think that's what you mean. It just looks like I dragged them into the media pool as a timeline because of how the video is edited but in reality I didn't actually select all of the lifted clips and put them in the media pool as a timeline, just clicked the "Selects" one where I had already moved them.
@georgekamenov_ OK... I was suspecting that might be it. Because I can't figure out how to take parts from a timeline. and set them away for later use. [Let's say there's a part of my audio in a video that I want to paste in, in a different part of the video... instead of clumsily cutting it out and dragging it (or several of them) towards a completely different part of the track, it would be nice to have a place to set it aside, from where I can just pull it back again later. Does that make sense?
I really like the stacked timeline idea. Up until recently my motorcycle travel videos have not be that complex. However, recently I have been using multiple time lines for editing drone footage and some effects before bringing that into my main timeline. This will make incorporating that footage into my main timeline much easier. Thanks form Ontario Canada 👍🇨🇦
Be very careful with ripple deletes though. If you have effects and stuff layered, or you have a backing track you don’t want to cut, the ripple delete shifts EVERYTHING and will offset those things. Also, I’ve had several times where I’ll load a project I manually saved before closing, and it will have lost some of my progress. It’s only happened 2 times but it is frustrating
I agree but this is probably only for cutting, which should precede adding effects and other layers. Once you have the timeline you want, you can turn off ripple delete.
Using the source tape feature in the cut page is similar to putting all of your clips on the timeline. You can view everything quickly and tag you in and out points and drop it into your timeline for your selects. Might save one step.
Yep, was coming here to say the same thing. Cut Page is often misused to be a lite version of editor, but really what it's main function is to do exactly tip 1.
Wow, I’m so relieved to see someone with a similar workflow than me (multiple time lines to sift footage, placing clips higher depending on what you like best). I was doing it in premiere but I felt like a hack, cuz I know most people use in and out points and sub clips. Thanks for showing me your process and making me feel like it’s okay to find your own way to do things! 🎉
This is very helpful man. I've used FCP X for a decade now and I love how fast it is. Always struggled to be as fast in Resolve. These tips are game changers.
omg, end to playhead! This is the one thing Ive been looking for since switching from premiere to DaVinci! I was wasting so much time this year with always having to clear the gaps. Now, no gaps anymore! Thank you!
You have literally changed my life with the 1st tip . 2nd one will help those like me because i already have the speed editor and that tip is pretty much what the cut page is for. Thanks man
I love it. The timeline idea is super new to me and I hope to get value after I try it. Addresses my pain problem of failing to see all footage in a nice way.
Oooo, I NEEDED that second tip. My style of editing is very cut heavy, and so I found myself flipping back and forth between the blade and pointer tool, having to reach for backspace for ripple delete... over and over and over. Definitely slowed me down, and I was JUST thinking of ways I could bind my keys better. But because I'm relatively new to editing, wasn't even sure which keys I'd need to bind ^_^;. So this is perfect! Thank you for sharing! Setting it up right now.
This looks really useful, but as a complete newbie also transferring from Premiere, it would be helpful when you say 'just open the menu or just select the ' button, I have no idea how to find that. so for me if you just slowed down a bit and showed us, it would be really super useful.
Thanks!!! I am currently moving from FCP to Davinci and I'm in an awkward spot where the color I get from Davinci is so much better but my editing skills are so much worse!! This is going to help. Thanks!!
Just realized all these editing videos need to be adjusted by the viewer in yt settings for higher resolution or the controls look blurry and it's hard to follow. Biggest revelation of the day. Thank you, GK :)
I cannot wait to try this with my next video! The blade and then going back and highlighting and deleting is daunting and so time consuming! Thank you so much for sharing this! I liked and subscribed. :)
BROOO the start and end to playhead is gonna be so helpful!! The amount of time I spend scrolling and cutting is crazy and now I'll just be able to click a button! Thanks!
I was looking for shortcut because my animation is a major bottleneck in DaVinci. I'm way past my personal goal of uploading mid-December because of this. Then I found your channel. Thanks, this was really helpful.

a question, but theres like 3 options for start to playhead, resize, ripple and roll. So what do you select, or you do the 3 of them?
I kind of just put the keybind to the ripple settings and it´s golden. It takes so much less time, with your recommendation. Thank you amigo!
@@benjaminjacome your guess was right - it‘s the ripple section! It really is that simple but it speeds up the workflow so much! You’re welcome!:)

I agree. Instead of using multiple timelines he could just sort his clips into bins and you the cut page to add segments to his timeline.

If you have different local or remote "Grade Versions" that you made, they also work between timelines in case you need to apply a grade to new clips.

Hey, no worries man! Super happy you found at least part of this vid helpful 😊
Oh man am I glad the algorithm circled this video back to me!
I picked up on something I didn't before: You moved clips from your timeline back to the media pool, in the form of a new timeline! How did you do that?

@georgekamenov_ OK... I was suspecting that might be it. Because I can't figure out how to take parts from a timeline. and set them away for later use. [Let's say there's a part of my audio in a video that I want to paste in, in a different part of the video... instead of clumsily cutting it out and dragging it (or several of them) towards a completely different part of the track, it would be nice to have a place to set it aside, from where I can just pull it back again later. Does that make sense?

However, recently I have been using multiple time lines for editing drone footage and some effects before bringing that into my main timeline.

Be very careful with ripple deletes though. If you have effects and stuff layered, or you have a backing track you don’t want to cut, the ripple delete shifts EVERYTHING and will offset those things. Also, I’ve had several times where I’ll load a project I manually saved before closing, and it will have lost some of my progress. It’s only happened 2 times but it is frustrating
maybe compound clips could help. didn't try it yet
I agree but this is probably only for cutting, which should precede adding effects and other layers. Once you have the timeline you want, you can turn off ripple delete.
That's one thing that frustrated me when switching. But now i'm very happy with the ripple delete.
@@konsti8463 compound clips are amazing!
u can lock tracks too. but really all cuts should largely be made pre effects.
Excellent help! Thank you for your generous kindness. I will look at other videos of yours.
Using the source tape feature in the cut page is similar to putting all of your clips on the timeline. You can view everything quickly and tag you in and out points and drop it into your timeline for your selects. Might save one step.
Yep, was coming here to say the same thing. Cut Page is often misused to be a lite version of editor, but really what it's main function is to do exactly tip 1.
But when you tag in and out points you won't be able to use this hidden footage in the edit page. It really depends on what you are editing.
I liked the timeline stacking thing. Thanks for that

Wow, I’m so relieved to see someone with a similar workflow than me (multiple time lines to sift footage, placing clips higher depending on what you like best). I was doing it in premiere but I felt like a hack, cuz I know most people use in and out points and sub clips. Thanks for showing me your process and making me feel like it’s okay to find your own way to do things! 🎉
I've just added this shortcut to my Stream Deck and it's definitely a time saver! Thank you very much! This an awesome piece of advice!
Glad I was able to help :)
YES!!! Ripple delete was the one thing I was missing from the move from Final Cut. I used it all the time! Thanks!
I was about to buy the Black Magic Design Mini. I appreciate this George!
This is very helpful man. I've used FCP X for a decade now and I love how fast it is. Always struggled to be as fast in Resolve. These tips are game changers.
@@yanndemoerloose Happy to hear these will help!
Definitely sticking around. Keep them coming George. Thank you for making the effort to show these tips.
omg, end to playhead! This is the one thing Ive been looking for since switching from premiere to DaVinci! I was wasting so much time this year with always having to clear the gaps. Now, no gaps anymore! Thank you!
Thanks for the tips. These are going to be very helpful since I do spend a lot of time editing.
Happy to hear!
I'm just getting started using editing softwares and these tips seem like such a time saver. Will definitely be trying this out, thanks a ton!
@@naskett8927 Hope they help!
Super thanks.. I'm only using the first technique, but that alone is an absolute time saver.
The stacked timeline tip is absolute gold! Thank you so much. Kicking myself that I never knew this for so long :)
You have literally changed my life with the 1st tip . 2nd one will help those like me because i already have the speed editor and that tip is pretty much what the cut page is for. Thanks man
This helps me a lot as a begginer in dvr ❤️ tysm!
Very useful tips ! Thank you ! :)
I love it. The timeline idea is super new to me and I hope to get value after I try it. Addresses my pain problem of failing to see all footage in a nice way.
Thank you George! Such a great workflow! I really appreciate you taking the time to share this. Stacked timelines--- mind blown!
Beginner mode here, learning to edit tennis matches and practices.
Tip #2 is a God Send. Many thanks.
You really really saved hours of my work with last two tricks.. thank you, thankyou sooo mcuh for sharing..
Just moving over to Resolve. This is fantastic workflow. THANKS.
Bro, you got my point. thankyou
These are some interesting pieces of advice I haven't seen before. Thanks for helping out another complete novice!
@@metrostills Glad I could share something useful 🙂
Oooo, I NEEDED that second tip. My style of editing is very cut heavy, and so I found myself flipping back and forth between the blade and pointer tool, having to reach for backspace for ripple delete... over and over and over. Definitely slowed me down, and I was JUST thinking of ways I could bind my keys better. But because I'm relatively new to editing, wasn't even sure which keys I'd need to bind ^_^;. So this is perfect!
Thank you for sharing! Setting it up right now.
This looks really useful, but as a complete newbie also transferring from Premiere, it would be helpful when you say 'just open the menu or just select the ' button, I have no idea how to find that. so for me if you just slowed down a bit and showed us, it would be really super useful.
Brilliant! Just what I was looking for to replace Q+W ! Thank you!
These simple tricks indeed saved me a lot of time. Thanks maaan, got subscribed
Expecting more videos like this(about editing tips for time-saving)thank you
That stacked timeline tip will really come in handy for me. Thank you for the editing tips!
thank you so much, best tip outhere to edit long footage !
Stacked timelines. Great way to organize clips. Thanks for this valuable tip!
Thanks for the tricks, especially 1 to 4! This helps a lot.
Thanks George, this really helped me as I begin to get around Davinci.
Excellent, thanks for your tips and videos.
That second tip was really killer, George. Thanks for sharing.
No worries, happy you found it useful!
Thanks!!! I am currently moving from FCP to Davinci and I'm in an awkward spot where the color I get from Davinci is so much better but my editing skills are so much worse!! This is going to help. Thanks!!
Really nice tips man! I’ve been looking for ways to not have to flip back and forth between blade and selections
Man, this is some excellent advice. Kudos to you for sharing this!
Just realized all these editing videos need to be adjusted by the viewer in yt settings for higher resolution or the controls look blurry and it's hard to follow. Biggest revelation of the day. Thank you, GK :)
Most useful 5 minutes video for DaVinci Edit! Thanks! -)
Genius! This will help so much working on my future client projects. Thanks so much!
I cannot wait to try this with my next video! The blade and then going back and highlighting and deleting is daunting and so time consuming! Thank you so much for sharing this! I liked and subscribed. :)
I was nodding until the tabs thing... mind blown! Thank you!
Dude, this info is GOLD! Thank you so much for sharing, gonna save me so much time!
amazing video. something people really seem to overlook when staying motivated is workflow and this helps a ton. thank you
Love the 1,2,3,4 assignments - great workflow. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much. This tip has saved me a lot of time. great video
BROOO the start and end to playhead is gonna be so helpful!! The amount of time I spend scrolling and cutting is crazy and now I'll just be able to click a button! Thanks!
I was looking for shortcut because my animation is a major bottleneck in DaVinci.
I'm way past my personal goal of uploading mid-December because of this. Then I found your channel.
Thanks, this was really helpful.
Thank you for the kind words man, really happy I could help you out a bit with my content 🙂
Thank you. You've forever changed my editing life
Thanks for sharing your tips! Timeline part will help me a lot
Thanks for sharing! Straight to the point and no excess talking 👏🏼
you describing what we do as audio editors called "comping". Thanks for sharing this insight in video editing in DR. I never thought of that.
Thanks for the tutorial! I'll definitely try the stacked timeline workflow!
Holy smokaroons, I had no idea you could have to timelines open at once. Thank you so so much!
