I've watched almost all your tutorials on DaVinci. Wanted to thank you -- profusely -- for the free education, your crystal clear presentations, flawless explanations, and for the time and trouble of making these videos. Seriously, Darren.... many thanks.
I just came across this (thank you RUclips algorithms for paying attention) and this is worth subscribing to. And you’re clearly a pro because this well produced video is inspiring to see.
Having trouble using the CUT Page - watch this episode! Watch the entire series of Killer Tips for Davinci Resolve here ruclips.net/p/PL6VNHhfsVYJZKcEUfGAyz6OGPDKM0rf4t Also note at 18.26 - The 'Edit page' has its own ripple overwrite - this was purely to demonstrate a lot of 'edits' are quicker in the Cut page most of the time. And typo at 16.40 'Lesson' should be 'Lessen'.
I hope you can fit a quick answer in. After watching miles of tutorials I am struggling to get the basics of cut and drag function on my timeline. How to cut both video and audio in one stroke, and how to create dissolve transitions which dissolve both video and audio in the transition. My question is how is my setup incorrect since video and audio do not cut, ripple and transition as one?
I think this is still the best video I've seen on using the cut page. I've been referring to this video ever since you made it 2 years ago. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant tutorial! Thanks for this. Most of the other intros are just showing off how cool the Speed Editor product is when pulling selects, whereas this explains the fundamental behaviors of the Cut Page timeline so that you can actually build out an assembly lighting fast.
The "Close Up" button is great! However, there seems to be some 'subtlety' if the footage doesn't match the project/timeline. For example, I'm editing 4096x2160 source in a 1280x720 timeline and the zoom in doesn't seem to happen. I think it has to do with the Scaling option you've chosen in the Project Settings (or on the clip), i.e., Fit vs Center no crop. This beta-2 so maybe it's a bug. Certainly not 'magic' at this stage. If you're working on the extended tutorial, something to watch out for.
Hi Edward. It is using the Neural Engine to intelligently place the face at good position. if the face is too close to start with then it wont do a close up. Hope that helps.
I am compelled to echo all the positive comments below - just to save time. This is the absolute best approach and detailed, concise explanation I have ever seen. SO clean and easy! Please keep up your excellent work. As the others also ask, I think you should be the premiere tutor for Resolve. (No pun there!).
I just realized that the cut page very much resembles the magnetic timeline in Final Cut X the Final Cut X magnetic timeline is indeed very fast in basic story telling but for me it's not confturble for fine editing So DaVinci actually uses best of both worlds.
I use both software. in FCPX turn off the magnetic timeline and you can get as detailed as you want. there are also a lot of really helpful shortcuts in FCP. look up some tutorials and you'll see what I mean. you can edit VERY fast if you fully understand the ins and outs of FCP. especially using a trackpad
So... I recently got Davinci and have been watching a lot of editing how to videos... your video actually is making me excited to start my edit process! Thank you so much for putting this out! It is so helpful! Can't wait to watch your other videos!
I'm about to make my maiden voyage with Resolve, and you've told me pretty much everything I need to know to get started. Props to you, good sir, for your clear and well-paced walkthrough. I've found my go-to guy for all things DaVinci, methinks. Love from up north in Yorkshire! x
Thank you for the Cut Page Overview. Lots to do there, and I'm basically a cuts only show with some inserts, I'll concentrate on the Cut Page for most of my work. Keyboard shortcuts really help understand the basic needs to get working faster and better. I'll really be concentrating on learning the icons and getting them committed to memory.
Brilliant, thanks Darren. How had I not discovered 'place on top' before? Super valuable, that's going to save a ton of time. I've come to love the cut page since its introduction, and feel I'm going to be loving it a whole lot more now, with all that you've explained. Thanks a mill.
just realise how much time I wasted after switched from FCP to davinci thinking that they dont have a timeline that can edit like final cut smh, thank you for making this video

As an avid Final Cut Pro user, I feel surprisingly right at home here. ;)) Darren you describe stuff so well it just sticks with the first viewing. New subscriber here!
Fabulous! Yes, you listened and delivered! :) I listened and poured myself an espresso, which got me thinking... almost time for some merch! Would love to be drinking out of Darren Mostyn's Killer Tips mug! Great job, Darren. You were incredibly thorough!
Thanks for the amazing videos Darren, great stuff. You can do the replace on the edit page by pressing x to mark, then shift delete to ripple delete and then f9 INSERT and it will do the same as ripple overwrite, no need to manually move things with the mouse to make space etc. Nevertheless it is a fast way of building a script edit with the cut page, i use it a lot for documentary and advertisement work. really happy with the keyboard too. The thing im having trouble is the fact that it closes up gaps on track one , is there a way to prevent this, for example if i want the gap so that the interviewees questions have a bit of space between answers.
Really good! ... thank you for sharing! (by the way: I am still wondering if we could increase the audio waveform of the main clip ... it is so tiny ...)
Daaaaaamn, This is aowsome, it really reminds me with the simplicity and the power of CUBASE over PROTOOLS that forced me to switch from PROTOOLS to CUBASE in 2008. Now in 2023 I'm switching from Adobe Premier to Davinci Resolve due to the same reason, so i would thanks the developers for developing this software as well as you man for these tutorials. Keep it up and i wish you all the best.🤲
I switched from Premiere to Resolve about a year ago and I love it. The ONLY thing is I can't seem to learn Fusion for anything. I have paid for courses and watched hours of tutorials but to no avail. So now I edit in Resolve and do my graphics and VFX in After Effects. Do you know of any fast way to have a better workflow with Resolve and AE?
It would be awesome if they gave the option of being able to edit the audio. This is pretty similar to the magnetic timeline in FCPX, which I found to be really easy to work with and not have to worry about having the right tracks selected when moving clips around. It’d be cool if they could fully implement that as a feature. So glad I switched to this software at work last year. We used to use Premiere and it was just becoming such a drudge to work with.
Hey Darren I use the free version of DVR on Mac m1 13’’ 16 GB ram and 1TB internal SSD I can easily bring 10-bit log footage and edit into it too but there some ppl says it can’t what’s the fact I shoot with A7siii in slog3 hope you reply me
Hey Darren. I probably have a few decades on your average viewer. I started with 35mm film. As an Edit assistant it was my job to marry daily rushes in terms of light prints with audio. Working from the assistant cameraman/Clapper loader notes, I would compile these rushes in sequence with pegs on hangers (the remaining celluloid dangling in cotton bins). I see this as the Cut page. The Guvnor would pull these onto the Steinbeck in sequence and trim to his edit. Transitions (Dissolves) were marked simply by holding a chinagraph pencil on the head as the film spooled through. In this image - Cut on the left, Edit in the centre haha modernexistence.homestead.com/Motion_Media012.jpg
Thanks for the insight. Im 25 years in the broadcast industry so I think we might both be ahead of average age on my channel (I have stats so can confirm that one!). Beautiful image you sent!! Enjoy and embrace the digital age. Good to have you on board - even if just to make me feel better as Im 52!
Hi Darren, Great tips. Looking forward to your #2 livestream on Monday. If it makes you feel any better I can bump up you age stats as I'm 71 and striving to keep up with the digital age!
No fluff, just clear, concise and really useful info. Thanks. Subbed. I've searched (fruitlessly) YT for a video about the workflow of saving a sequence for future re-editing. I want to basically cut my clips and get rid of all the unwanted stuff ( i have to leave my camera running so I have a lot of useless footage) I would have footage from a long period of time (weeks/months) showing progressions and I don't want to keep massive amounts of unusable data on my drive. There is supposed to be a way of doing this by using media manager, but I've never been able to get it to work properly (using GoPro Hero 8 and 5D footage on a pretty powerful MacBook Pro) Any tips on how to achieve this? (or even better a tutorial!) Thanks again.
Thanks for the sub - appreciated. Media manager works by selecting the sequence or sequences you want to consolidate. Select timelines you want included, select destination and say copy only used media. Works. I would check it before deleting the media though. You can copy the media is the best way. Hope that helps
@@DarrenMostyn I appreciate that you can't get into an in-depth discussion on every question asked, but just in case this interests you (or anyone else) enough to find a solution, here's my precise workflow issue. I have a GoPro Hero 8 clip which is just under 2 mins long and 841MB. I trimmed it in the Media page into 3 clips lasting 5, 6 and 10 seconds respectively. I load them onto my Timeline and select the Timeline and all the clips in the Media page. I then go into Media Manager on the "Copy" tab. I set my destination and select "Copy only used media files". The "Current Size" and "New Size" both show 841MB. I click "Start" anyway to see if it works. It doesn't. I just get the complete original file (841MB) in the destination with no edits. It doesn't matter if I have "Entire Project", "Timelines" or "Clips" selected, the result is the same. It's very frustrating because if it worked, it's exactly what I'm looking for!
@@DarrenMostyn Thanks again. I wasn't aware that I had to transcode, I thought that was the whole point of the Media Manager! Anyway, thanks a lot for the tip, If I transcode, it works. I tried ProRes but the file size wasn't worth it for the kind of shot it is. It worked with MP4 264 with a much smaller file size and almost non-discernible difference in quality. Thanks so much for the help.
hi, great vid. You explain that in the cut page Video 1 always ripples and deletes the gap BUT in my cut page it does NOT do that and I actually want it to close the gap. I worked in DR on Windows and that's how it always did it, now I installed DR on a Mac and I use the speed editor but for some odd reason it never deletes the gap, it never ripples. I am sure it is a setting somewhere but for the life of me, I can not find it. Can you please be bothered to search that setting or toggle, I am too noob to find it on my own. Please please please, I am sure I am not the only one. And yes, I am 100% sure that I am on the CUT page and on Videotrack 1. It leave the gap when I press ripl del on the speed editor and what drives me nuts is that it does not delete the gap when I press ripl del again, I have to manually select the gap with the mouse and hit backspace. Slows me down 500%. pls. thank you!
Thank you very much for this informative video. I have a quick question about Append. In the other video about the source tape, you used F12 for append. In this video you add a Shift key to the F12. Is it best practice to always use shift+F12? Thank you so much.
I have learned a lot! Thanks. Is there a way to synchronize second audio lines on multiple clips with one command? So that the program recognize which audio line belongs to which video clip? That would be a big time saver for me.
This is a fantastic tutorial, well done. I mostly use Adobe for video but I'm slowly moving over to Davinci Resolve. I find the cut tab quite bewildering and disorientating, but I'm getting used to it.
Amazing video. So glad I found your channel and amazed you don't have more subscribers (+1 now). Your content is amazing! I just started RUclips and trying to learn DaVinci. Super helpful
Thanks for the great tutorials. After using Shotcut for a few years, I am upgrading to DaVinci Resolve. Given changes in the past 3 years and the updates in the 18.5 release, I wonder if it is time for a new version of this video...or are the changes not that impactful? Based on watching info from old tutorials, the Cut Page is much closer to a full featured editor these days. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! I'm new at this, and been only using the Edit and Audio pages so far. This was the best tutorial I've watched. My most aggressive video edit has been a fifteen minute vacation video from Costa Rica Peninsula Papagayo, it took me several days to create as a first video. This would have helped a lot! Thanks again. Here's my video if anyone is interested. ruclips.net/video/O5-3bNDY_hI/видео.html
Is there a way to ZOOM-IN the audio waves forever? I want to use the Cut page to remove unwanted parts and guiding myself by the audio waves is way easier.
I started going through the speed editor video until you mentioned this one on the cut page. Great video , now I'll move to the speed editor and try and break my old habits from working on the edit page
I'm new to your channel -THANK YOU! And I'm new to Resolve (from FCPX). I've bought the speed editor, and tries to stick to the CUT page - and be patient. But I havent' found a solution for making subclips in the CUT page (for longer clips with multiple in and outs). IE: If I want to have multiple selections/subclips to review before appending to timeline (work in 2 passes) Or should I just change my workflow!
Brilliant video. Cheers. This is coming from loving your videos and learning a ton. I know you're showing the similarities but different functionality and ease of cut page. But some things about the cut page you're showing that aren't in edit are actually in edit. Sometimes they need a different key. To ripple delete in edit hit shift delete or the number key delete. (The one by page up page down.) I also have this mapped to the 4 key because I use 1 through 3 for split clip actions. You say in edit to ripple overwrite you need to delete a clip and leave room and move. You don't. Select the clip you want to ripple overwrite and hit shift f10. I wish edit had the button to leave ripple overwrite as the default next action but I don't ripple overwrite nearly enough to need that more than shift f10. L Adjusting the in and out points between clips in cut view is the same mechanism as the Trim tool. The main advantage of Cut as I see it is that the assumption is to act more like Apple's fcp, where ripples are the default on track 1, and to have the secondary timeline that's adjustable at the top. The coolest to me is swapping clip positions by dragging in Cut though I mostly use command shift . And , to shift them around, on a long timeline that's a huge PITA. I feel like the Cut page exists so people coming from Cap Cut and other mobile editors feel at home. They really need to figure how to integrate these two. Click a button in Edit and the Cut top timeline appears for example.
@@DarrenMostyn btw I made myself use the cut page with your suggestions this weekend on a shoot I did with a ton of jumps to b roll. Really went fast thanks to your suggestions. One thing I did was use in and out and f12 to lay all my cuts on v4 and then mute the track. As I was editing my talking head I just brought them to v2. Being able to in and out the wholllleee selection of b roll as one clip alone saved me an hour. Thanks mate.
The Cut Page seems like BMDs version of FCPX. If I can replicate FCP's metadata-based workflow in Resolve, I could switch to Resolve for editing BRAW. Thanks for the brilliant tutorial!
Nothing else to praise you for about these videos. My knowledge of DaVinci is zero and your channel will help me understand the software. Just one question out of interest: can we rotate in a way to make it look it was recorded in 16:9? Or Instagram reels ratio? I didn’t record the video in 16:9 so I wonder if there is a way to setup the window as 16:9 and then by adding the videos I can adjust it to that ratio by zooming in and out. On the zooming in and out. Is this equivalent to cropping an image? For example I can crop an image to be whatever ratio. In the end I get less megapixels, etc. I wonder if by zooming in is the same thing? I will probably lose ‘pixels’ as long as I don’t go below 1920 should be fine.
Wow, what a great tutorial. This completely changes how I look at the cut page and how I will be using Resolve. I am still struggling with it though. Strange things do happen from time to time but that might also have to do with me combining 25, 29.97 and 50 fps footage from different cameras all into one 24 fps project. I guess that's what happens when you quickly grab a few cameras and start filming without taking the time to prepare things properly

Wont be in the near future unfortunately. I have so many episodes planned now! But will do sometime, yes. All the best.
Really nicely explained. Coming from Premiere I was wondering what the cut page was for. Now it looks like I’ll do most of my edit in it :)
Good to know Stefan. You'll love it.
Thanks. Great content.
Thank you Charlie
Thank you so much for the helpful video! Would you happen to know if it's possible to create sub clips from the cut page please?
Thank you for this! Do you know if there is any way to get SMART BINS in the cut page?
Really good! ... thank you for sharing! (by the way: I am still wondering if we could increase the audio waveform of the main clip ... it is so tiny ...)
Daaaaaamn, This is aowsome, it really reminds me with the simplicity and the power of CUBASE over PROTOOLS that forced me to switch from PROTOOLS to CUBASE in 2008.
Now in 2023 I'm switching from Adobe Premier to Davinci Resolve due to the same reason, so i would thanks the developers for developing this software as well as you man for these tutorials.
Keep it up and i wish you all the best.🤲
I switched from Premiere to Resolve about a year ago and I love it. The ONLY thing is I can't seem to learn Fusion for anything. I have paid for courses and watched hours of tutorials but to no avail. So now I edit in Resolve and do my graphics and VFX in After Effects. Do you know of any fast way to have a better workflow with Resolve and AE?
It would be awesome if they gave the option of being able to edit the audio. This is pretty similar to the magnetic timeline in FCPX, which I found to be really easy to work with and not have to worry about having the right tracks selected when moving clips around. It’d be cool if they could fully implement that as a feature. So glad I switched to this software at work last year. We used to use Premiere and it was just becoming such a drudge to work with.
audio is edited in edit page and fairlight seamlessly by switching page., Hope that helps.
Thank you so much, I was making that mistake.
Glad I could help
Nice tutorial, could you please teach how to remove softs from a ? for karaoke purposes. Than you
I don’t understand the question, sorry.
Hey Darren I use the free version of DVR on Mac m1 13’’ 16 GB ram and 1TB internal SSD I can easily bring 10-bit log footage and edit into it too but there some ppl says it can’t what’s the fact I shoot with A7siii in slog3 hope you reply me
You need studio version, yes.
Hey Darren. I probably have a few decades on your average viewer. I started with 35mm film. As an Edit assistant it was my job to marry daily rushes in terms of light prints with audio. Working from the assistant cameraman/Clapper loader notes, I would compile these rushes in sequence with pegs on hangers (the remaining celluloid dangling in cotton bins). I see this as the Cut page. The Guvnor would pull these onto the Steinbeck in sequence and trim to his edit. Transitions (Dissolves) were marked simply by holding a chinagraph pencil on the head as the film spooled through.
In this image - Cut on the left, Edit in the centre haha

Thanks for the insight. Im 25 years in the broadcast industry so I think we might both be ahead of average age on my channel (I have stats so can confirm that one!). Beautiful image you sent!! Enjoy and embrace the digital age. Good to have you on board - even if just to make me feel better as Im 52!
Hi Darren,
Great tips. Looking forward to your #2 livestream on Monday.
If it makes you feel any better I can bump up you age stats as I'm 71 and striving to keep up with the digital age!
This was a great help. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much Darren, you are a life saver. keep up the good work 🤩 Good day to you 👊😇✌️
No fluff, just clear, concise and really useful info. Thanks. Subbed.
I've searched (fruitlessly) YT for a video about the workflow of saving a sequence for future re-editing. I want to basically cut my clips and get rid of all the unwanted stuff ( i have to leave my camera running so I have a lot of useless footage) I would have footage from a long period of time (weeks/months) showing progressions and I don't want to keep massive amounts of unusable data on my drive. There is supposed to be a way of doing this by using media manager, but I've never been able to get it to work properly (using GoPro Hero 8 and 5D footage on a pretty powerful MacBook Pro)
Any tips on how to achieve this? (or even better a tutorial!)
Thanks again.
Thanks for the sub - appreciated. Media manager works by selecting the sequence or sequences you want to consolidate. Select timelines you want included, select destination and say copy only used media. Works. I would check it before deleting the media though. You can copy the media is the best way. Hope that helps
@@DarrenMostyn Thanks for the reply. I know how it's supposed to work, I read the manual, and followed a tutorial, but it doesn't work for me.
@@DarrenMostyn I appreciate that you can't get into an in-depth discussion on every question asked, but just in case this interests you (or anyone else) enough to find a solution, here's my precise workflow issue.
I have a GoPro Hero 8 clip which is just under 2 mins long and 841MB. I trimmed it in the Media page into 3 clips lasting 5, 6 and 10 seconds respectively. I load them onto my Timeline and select the Timeline and all the clips in the Media page. I then go into Media Manager on the "Copy" tab. I set my destination and select "Copy only used media files". The "Current Size" and "New Size" both show 841MB. I click "Start" anyway to see if it works. It doesn't. I just get the complete original file (841MB) in the destination with no edits. It doesn't matter if I have "Entire Project", "Timelines" or "Clips" selected, the result is the same.
It's very frustrating because if it worked, it's exactly what I'm looking for!
@@TheForgeFunctionalFitness might be specific to that codec..try transcode media to prores or dnxhd.
@@DarrenMostyn Thanks again. I wasn't aware that I had to transcode, I thought that was the whole point of the Media Manager! Anyway, thanks a lot for the tip, If I transcode, it works. I tried ProRes but the file size wasn't worth it for the kind of shot it is. It worked with MP4 264 with a much smaller file size and almost non-discernible difference in quality. Thanks so much for the help.
22 thumbs down, I want to meet each one in person, and ask what makes them happy in life. Great job!
I know! My first ever video still has 100% likes though!
So the fundemental thing is the magnetic timeline that FCP X has had for 10 years! ;)
I dont use FCP X. These videos are aimed at Resolve users.
The cut page is basically a version of the magnetic timeline in FCP.
yes its similar.
using soft, can't wait to get my hands on it.
hi, great vid. You explain that in the cut page Video 1 always ripples and deletes the gap BUT in my cut page it does NOT do that and I actually want it to close the gap. I worked in DR on Windows and that's how it always did it, now I installed DR on a Mac and I use the speed editor but for some odd reason it never deletes the gap, it never ripples. I am sure it is a setting somewhere but for the life of me, I can not find it. Can you please be bothered to search that setting or toggle, I am too noob to find it on my own. Please please please, I am sure I am not the only one. And yes, I am 100% sure that I am on the CUT page and on Videotrack 1. It leave the gap when I press ripl del on the speed editor and what drives me nuts is that it does not delete the gap when I press ripl del again, I have to manually select the gap with the mouse and hit backspace. Slows me down 500%. pls. thank you!
I watched the video but I don’t know what is “the #1 secret” of the cut page
Thank you very much for this informative video. I have a quick question about Append. In the other video about the source tape, you used F12 for append. In this video you add a Shift key to the F12. Is it best practice to always use shift+F12? Thank you so much.
Yes SHIFT F12 is the actual shortcut.
omG you are very good, thanks a lot... a subscription and a like earned :)
Thanks for the subscription. Appreciated
Hey Darren in my DaVinci the page media tools was disappeared ) How can i do? Now i have only cut,edit,fusion,color,fairlight, delivery
I have learned a lot! Thanks.
Is there a way to synchronize second audio lines on multiple clips with one command?
So that the program recognize which audio line belongs to which video clip? That would be a big time saver for me.
Not in the cut page. Edit page - Right click on all layers and audio sync via waveform/timecode
This is a fantastic tutorial, well done. I mostly use Adobe for video but I'm slowly moving over to Davinci Resolve.
I find the cut tab quite bewildering and disorientating, but I'm getting used to it.
How did you get the beta 17 version to display audio waveforms ? In Fairlight I see waveforms as well as in Cut, but not in Edit.
this episode is about CUT page ?
Amazing video. So glad I found your channel and amazed you don't have more subscribers (+1 now). Your content is amazing! I just started RUclips and trying to learn DaVinci. Super helpful
Thanks for the great tutorials. After using Shotcut for a few years, I am upgrading to DaVinci Resolve. Given changes in the past 3 years and the updates in the 18.5 release, I wonder if it is time for a new version of this video...or are the changes not that impactful? Based on watching info from old tutorials, the Cut Page is much closer to a full featured editor these days. Thanks again!
HELP !!! I can't get to sort files in the cut page by "date created"...... I have no issues at the Edit page doing that..... HELP !!!
Good Sir, This is the most clear and concise instructional video for resolve I’ve seen yet; THANK YOU.
Glad it helped, you are welcome Daryl.
Thank you so much! I'm new at this, and been only using the Edit and Audio pages so far. This was the best tutorial I've watched. My most aggressive video edit has been a fifteen minute vacation video from Costa Rica Peninsula Papagayo, it took me several days to create as a first video. This would have helped a lot! Thanks again. Here's my video if anyone is interested. ruclips.net/video/O5-3bNDY_hI/видео.html
Is there a way to ZOOM-IN the audio waves forever? I want to use the Cut page to remove unwanted parts and guiding myself by the audio waves is way easier.
This channel is a gold mine 😱 only about 90 videos in 2 years - yeah I got ways to go…… But really impressive stuff 💪
I started going through the speed editor video until you mentioned this one on the cut page. Great video , now I'll move to the speed editor and try and break my old habits from working on the edit page
Thank you so much. Please do more CUT page
I'm new to your channel -THANK YOU! And I'm new to Resolve (from FCPX). I've bought the speed editor, and tries to stick to the CUT page - and be patient. But I havent' found a solution for making subclips in the CUT page (for longer clips with multiple in and outs). IE: If I want to have multiple selections/subclips to review before appending to timeline (work in 2 passes) Or should I just change my workflow!
Great so glad i found your channel.Are you going to do something with the Speed editor Keyboard?
Hello Wal. I did a live stream all about it. Enjoy. ruclips.net/video/thFgmkpCfnk/видео.html
I just bought Resolve and it has the Speed editor Keyboard included at the moment. Would like to learn to work with it!
@@GraphicdesignforFree Its all in that live link I sent you. Enjoy your speed editor.
Incredible tutorial! I have always been weary of the cut page, but I plan on trying all this for my next edit.
Brilliant video. Cheers. This is coming from loving your videos and learning a ton.
I know you're showing the similarities but different functionality and ease of cut page. But some things about the cut page you're showing that aren't in edit are actually in edit. Sometimes they need a different key.
To ripple delete in edit hit shift delete or the number key delete. (The one by page up page down.) I also have this mapped to the 4 key because I use 1 through 3 for split clip actions.
You say in edit to ripple overwrite you need to delete a clip and leave room and move. You don't. Select the clip you want to ripple overwrite and hit shift f10. I wish edit had the button to leave ripple overwrite as the default next action but I don't ripple overwrite nearly enough to need that more than shift f10. L
Adjusting the in and out points between clips in cut view is the same mechanism as the Trim tool.
The main advantage of Cut as I see it is that the assumption is to act more like Apple's fcp, where ripples are the default on track 1, and to have the secondary timeline that's adjustable at the top.
The coolest to me is swapping clip positions by dragging in Cut though I mostly use command shift . And , to shift them around, on a long timeline that's a huge PITA.
I feel like the Cut page exists so people coming from Cap Cut and other mobile editors feel at home. They really need to figure how to integrate these two. Click a button in Edit and the Cut top timeline appears for example.
Thanks dave.
@@DarrenMostyn btw I made myself use the cut page with your suggestions this weekend on a shoot I did with a ton of jumps to b roll. Really went fast thanks to your suggestions. One thing I did was use in and out and f12 to lay all my cuts on v4 and then mute the track. As I was editing my talking head I just brought them to v2. Being able to in and out the wholllleee selection of b roll as one clip alone saved me an hour. Thanks mate.
The Cut Page seems like BMDs version of FCPX. If I can replicate FCP's metadata-based workflow in Resolve, I could switch to Resolve for editing BRAW. Thanks for the brilliant tutorial!
Nothing else to praise you for about these videos. My knowledge of DaVinci is zero and your channel will help me understand the software.
Just one question out of interest: can we rotate in a way to make it look it was recorded in 16:9? Or Instagram reels ratio? I didn’t record the video in 16:9 so I wonder if there is a way to setup the window as 16:9 and then by adding the videos I can adjust it to that ratio by zooming in and out.
On the zooming in and out. Is this equivalent to cropping an image? For example I can crop an image to be whatever ratio. In the end I get less megapixels, etc. I wonder if by zooming in is the same thing? I will probably lose ‘pixels’ as long as I don’t go below 1920 should be fine.
Wow, what a great tutorial. This completely changes how I look at the cut page and how I will be using Resolve. I am still struggling with it though. Strange things do happen from time to time but that might also have to do with me combining 25, 29.97 and 50 fps footage from different cameras all into one 24 fps project. I guess that's what happens when you quickly grab a few cameras and start filming without taking the time to prepare things properly
