Then you might as well be using Final Cut Pro, because basically the cut page is final cut. The cut page has some interesting features but for the most part, I think it sucks.
I can't believe i just found your channel. I love your Resolve training at Black Magic website. I saw your name and subscribed even before watching this first video. I wish you the best on this endeavor. Keep it coming Christ. I will be watching. Gracias
Wow! I’m new to Resolve for iPad so I definitely need some tutorials. Chris, this is a clear and well paced so that I could easily follow along and try some of the tips straight away. Thank you very much for great tutorial.
Chris, you are an absolute living legend in the editing world. I'm thrilled to see you on RUclips now. I used to watch your Resolve lessons on their website back in the day, and I was always impressed by your deep knowledge of the software. Even though I've been using Resolve for ages now, I know for a fact that every time I watch your videos, I learn something new. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community. Grazie 🙏🏻
Hey! The Edit page is great and is my preferred environment for general editing. But the Cut page has some very interesting features as I talked about in this video. Dipping in and out of the Cut page is a totally worthwhile thing to do. Even just for things like the Close Up feature. Glad you’re finding the videos useful! 👍🏻
My favorite feature of the cut page is that there's two views of the same timeline. It saves you a lot of time in the long run because you don't have to constantly find a good "working level magnification." I often start working in the cut page to get a rough cut going, or for selecting some clips via the source tape. I switch to the Edit page eventually, for more precise trimming and refinement. But for those first passes, the cut page is quite efficient. My second favorite feature is the one you mention, where you can make edits from source to the timeline while the source is playing, and it doesn't switch you into the timeline. That's a great way to assemble some footage for later refinement. In general, I think there's a lot of positives from having two modalities to editing. By .. ahem .. cutting away features and preferences, you can often design a user experience with a better focus, and you don't risk it toppling under the constant stream of feature requests. Features will naturally fit in the "right" modality, which means you can push both further.
These tutorials are on another level, no wonder BlackMagic has you teaching on their site, thanks for the great information, pumped to have jumped aboard the Resolve train with a studio license just this week!
Ah. Unfortunately I don’t believe you can. I think this is because the Cut page approaches editing differently and the Source Tape is designed to be the primary way to browse your footage and you can then sort the media pool for that purpose. It’s a shame, because it would be useful. HTH.
This was great. right at my level thanks to a previous video. The sync is cool but I only use one camera currently. I have only just started to use the edit page and your videos are great, easy to follow and learn from. I'm just learning Resolve from Premier (I tried 6 months ago and got overwhelmed and quit editing out of frustration.)
Thanks for this. Good to hear you’re finding my videos useful. If you’re familiar with Premiere then you should be reasonably at home with the Edit page. I’ll have more Edit page stuff soon. Stay tuned 📺
Great tutorial again. I often shoot with 3 cameras that are not timecode synced and are not colocated so even the audio doesn't match. Is it possible to manually sync them together in a sync bin to benefit from that kind of editing?
Yes! Hopefully you have some kind of visual sync point you can use (clapboard, hand clap or something similar). That way you could add an In point (or Out point if it’s towards the end of the footage) and sync using that method in the Sync Clips window. HTH! 🎬
HNY to you too! To be fair, I’d say the Cut Page timeline doesn’t function the same way it does in FCP. Also I find the Cut page still has inconsistencies in functionality and I find that frustrating. Still, it’s useful in the ways I try and point out. Thanks for the comment though. Food for thought…
@@Chris.Roberts Thats true. But one of the main complaints about Resolve is the lack of a magnetic timeline... I'm actually missing a few things, such as a way to zoom the timeline (in fixed increments, if you like). From 3 video tracks and 3 minutes onwards it all becomes very confusing
I guess so if you need to work with compound clips and you only have an iPad 😉 Sounds like one for the Feature Request Forum: forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewforum.php?f=33
Great tips. Thanks Chris! I hope Edit Page only editors will learn to embrace & thrive using the Cut Page. ✨🎬
There’s a lot to like in the Cut page. I’ll be interested to see how it evolves. Thanks for commenting!

I'm so glad you have your own channel. Your tutorials on v17 was a revelation to me, back when.
Thank you! Hopefully these videos will help just as much with specific subjects 👍🏻

Wonderful! Great to hear you applied these tips to the iPad version successfully. Thanks for commenting 🙏🏻
Great video, great tips!

Thank you! So happy to hear this.... 🙏🏻
Great tips! Thank you. This may be the final nudge I need to actually try using the cut page. I’ve exclusively used the edit page for 4 years now.

Hi Chris. Thanks for helping me get to grips with Resolve, keep them coming.
Will do! Glad you’re enjoying the videos and thanks for the comment!

I totally agree! Thank you for sharing these very considered thoughts...

Welcome aboard! I’m sure you’ll find the Studio license is money well spent. 👍🏻
Great video, great tips!
Thank you! And thanks also for the comment. Great to know.
keep the tutorials coming Chris, Love it.
Thanks, will do!
Why can't I seem to find my smart bins while on the Cut page? How do I view those while on the Cut page?

@@Chris.Roberts Thank you very much, I had to experiment around but I finally got a coherent sync bin.
You make me wait such a long time.....
They say patience is a virtue 😉
Happy New Year
I'm always surprised that even people who switch from Final Cut don't use CutPage very often.
HNY to you too!

Create compound clip from cut page on the iPad? Possible?
Not that I can see looking in the usual places…
@@Chris.Roberts I don’t mean to be flippant but isn’t this a major drawback for the iPad version?
I guess so if you need to work with compound clips and you only have an iPad 😉
Sounds like one for the Feature Request Forum:
forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewforum.php?f=33
Random question, but do you have any recommendations in monitors you use for Resolve?
Not really. I honestly don’t have any preference so long as it’s a decent picture! ☺️
‘Fraid not. Just a decent monitor that displays the colour space you need to deliver. 😎
