Thank you! So glad to finally know how to fix this little blunder I still make after years of using Resolve without starting again. I just KNEW that hidden somewhere in it there was a solution, just knowing which buttons to push…
Glad it helped. All the best, darren
@@DarrenMostyn I was recording a family birthday party yesterday on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra at 1080p@60fps but when I played it back and looked at the meta data information, the video said 59fps, is this a normal common problem or should I be worried, what would cause this to be rendered at 59fps even though I selected 60fps.
For those in a time crunch - the solution begins at 5:24 However, Darren does an awesome job explaining the big picture of how and why Davinci is doing what it is doing. Good to know. Thank you, Darren.
You somehow managed to save a project which I was working on for close to 40 plus hours. I cannot explain how much you have helped me. A loyal subscriber has just been gained, I hope you have a incredible week brother. Many many thanks :)
Glad I could help! Thanks for your subscription Nebula!!! Appreciated!
I JUST bought the Studio version of DR and this was my first big test project and I had no way of changing the frame rate back to 25fps. THANK YOU SO MUCH! This will be a huge help in the future. I did loose all of my EQ settings, but it wasn't too hard to set them back correctly.
Honestly I was hesitant to watch this tutorial because it was a whopping 9 minutes and wanted to get an answer quick and usually 10 minute videos have alot of filler, but him explaining WHY it HAPPENED and how to fix it and then how to basically get by it without making a new entire project with the timeline trick really helped alot, thanks Darren!
Glad you appreciate the extra effort i went to. A lot of people complaining its length
oh dear this helped me a lot. Sometimes, i forget to set my time line frame rate. Easy work-around. Thanks Darren!
Glad it helped PJ
Two things . . . I LOVE how you take a topic and get right down to how to do it. I can't tell you how many RUclips videos I've watched where whatever topic I'm looking for an answer to the presenter doesn't get into the "how" for three, four, five minutes. Completely frustrating. Second thing, would love to see your workflow on using the new proxy workflow in DR 18. Thanks, and I am taking care of myself :)
Thanks Andy. Appreciate the kind words. Glad its working for you.
Thanks Darren, wish I would see your video some days ago! I had the same issue and didn't realize until I was going to export. Then I saw that I couldn't change the free rate. It took me hours to try to find a solution instead of starting from scratch and I by chance I made the same steps, created a new time line and copy and paste all the tracks. Now with your assistance I can now make it easier! I owe you a coffe!
The irony is....I made same mistake today!!! I haven't made this mistake for years!! Sorted same way...new timeline and copy in. Nice to use my own tips!
Thanks Darren. I upgraded to 18 right after you did - with the same anxiety - and I ran into the same FPS problem as you did with my first 18 project. After scratching my head for a few minutes, I solved it the same way you did. Glad to see I was on the right track. Love the importing the old timeline in and decomposing. BTW, the bit with Lulu at the end of your videos is brilliant. Part of your new signature style. Makes it fun and every parent can relate.
haha thanks Keith. Lulu is my little rock star and these calls are fun to include! Obviously she doesn't call me at the end each time but its fun to keep the records and insert them! Glad you relate too!
Thank you for this video - as a noob I was very frustrated after working for a while on a video and then not being able to render at the frame rate I wanted
Thank you dude, your video prevented the loss of an entire week of editing. Bless you sir 🙏
Glad it helped!
@@DarrenMostyn It absolutely did. I cannot express how important 60fps is to the gaming community lol
@@how-d I have worked on gaming conventions so I understand this too. I worked on promos for GamesCom in Cologne on 'Call of Duty' and others.
Mr. Mostyn with the save! Thank you, I was just about done with the project when I realised timeline frames were wrong! You saved me with that quick fix.
Excellent!
Thank you so much ! I worked couple of hours on my project and did this mistake. But I am glad I found your video, it saved my time ! Thanks again ! 😊👍
Darren, what can I say?!! As always a great tutorial ! Straight to the point. I work as colorist in Brazil for advertising but you are the best source for continuing learning from a master. Thanks. All the best!
Thanks Adriano. Good to hear from you.
Thanks Darren!! You just saved my life after several hours of editing!! 🙂
Thank you so much! It was a helping hand for me as I haven't switched to 60FPS, when started my new project! My respect, my Like, my Subscription and big hugs from Ukraine!
Appreciate you subscribing - thank you!! Enjoy the channel!
Thank you so much Dareen, you saved a lot of time
Glad I could help!
Very clearly explained, love your video. You save me a lot of time, thank you so much! 👍👍👍
Hey guys so heres a summary.
1. Create new timeline.
2. Uncheck 'use project setting'
3. Under format tab choose desired frame rate. Save/create.
4. Browse media pool to find your old timeline.
5. Simply drag the old timeline to your new timeline.
6. Go to deliver and the frame rate should now be the the correct one. Cheers.
Great stuff! I am not a beginner by any stretch but... Done this lots of times with the copy/paste fix - did not know about the decompose in place method. Excellent!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Darren, that's really helpful. It would be great to have a video on interlaced versus progressive please. In particular, how do you convert between the two and how do you set up the project and timeline correctly? Thanks, again.
my soul almost left my body when i realised my frame rate was wrong for the past 4-5 hours 😂
I get that 😂
😂😂😂
Darren .... You know what mate, You are amazing 😍, my regards to you from Surrey
Just saved me hours of redoing loads of work in Fusion. Thanks 🙏
Glad it helped!
pressing L twice initiates double speed playback also. nice video. very helpful
Ohmigosh, you just saved me so much aggravation in the future. I got my first proper corporate video job. As I was editing, when I would sync the audio at the beginning of the clip, it would drift out of sync by the end of the clip!!! What I didn't know was the timeline frame rate defaulted in Davinci to 23.967, and the footage was shot at 24fps. It was a nightmare. Just enough different to be almost imperceptible, and make me feel like I was going crazy. This video solved the problem. I will never let Davinci default to a project framerate again. Thank you!
feel your pain and glad you saw this video to help!
huh! That was a huge twist at the end with dropping one timeline into a fresh one!
Great video, well explained and saved my project. Thanks a lot for all the information!
This was very helpful at a time I needed to interpret my frame rate settings for an international project which exported at 24fps instead of recommended 25 fps changed perfectly after watching your video. Thank you @Darren keep the education coming we are hooked on your channel.
By the way kind regards from Africa Zambia to be precise, God bless
OMG, thank you for explaining that. I broke into edition using FCP 5x ~15yrs ago, left ~10yrs ago and am back now about a year ago using DR so I'm having to re-learn a lot (the editing I do is fairly light). The frame rate has stumped me since I began using DR b/c our local cable TV broadcast only takes very specific frame rates and I'd create my shows (we record in the local studio on their equipment so the raw footage is correct) and I'd not know why I couldn't export them the way I needed. DR is so powerful...and it's taking me a lot of trial & error to learn.
glad i could help. i know how overwhelming it can be learnign a new program but stick with it! You'll love it!! Wish you all the best, Darren.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I had been editing for 9 hours! and I was so worried that I would have to re-edit, Thank You so much!
No problem!
As a Davinci beginner, this is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Enjoy
Life Saver!!! I was editing for 4hrs and stuck in 29.97 when i needed a 30fps timeline! OMG! Thanks :D
Glad it helped!
Thank you lol, other tutorials were not this quick and easy.
Brilliant explanation thankyou. The change for the latest v 18 threw me until seeing this. Thankyou!
This was an excellent explanation to a question many of us have!
Thanks Jamie
Thanks for this Darren. Really appreciate all your content. High quality as ever.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
Just saved me about a week's worth of work. Nice one.
Great to hear!
man the amount of time you just saved me. i appreciate it fr
thanks! the decompose in place after putting timeline in another is life saver haha. also i did not know you can use timeline playback FPS to fasten the playback for long form (1hours plus content). it makes sense. this is another way to review the video faster in addition to using 'L' key, great!
Thanks for this video, it really saved my bacon. I had spent probably 20-30 hours working on a video, only to see that it was locked to 24fps rather than 60 when I went to render it.
I really appreciate the clarity that you have when sharing this information. I'm those type of guys who want to know "Why TF is this happening?" So... I'm glad you explain the causes. Contratulations!
I've been stuck for hours, you're my hero
Thank you so much. You literally saved me, I spent close to 2 days working on it since im a beginner at Davinci, and my 60fps project was downgraded significantly but now its fixed! You're the best 🤩
Wonderful ! This answers so many confusions / questions I had through the years...
You just saved my project i owe you my life sir.
I actually had not thought of the dragging the timeline down and then decomposing ( I have always done the copy and paste way ) - you say this is for a beginner? I don't consider myself a beginner, so might be something for anyone in your tutorials. Just saying. It seems that we get busy when things change from version to version and things get missed. So I would say to other people out there - Darren's tutorials should be watched regardless of your experience. The more you know, the more one little technique is so invaluable.
Thank you Darren.
Glad you got a little nugget out of it then Jim. I know most want heavier tutorials out of me but I like to look after the beginners too. Ive made playlists to help beginners easily find the easier episodes. Beginners one is here but other playlist listed on my channel. Thanks as always Jim. ruclips.net/p/PL6VNHhfsVYJawp385IIyLemQL_ZBzgN_5
Thank you so much for this video! Brand new to editing and figured it as I went to render that the FPS was wrong. This saved me a whole bunch of time. 🙂
Thank you so much i have been looking for hours to find videos and nothing helped, but this actually worked THANK YOUUUUU
Glad I could help
Hi Darren. I'm a beginner. These short - simple once known - tips are really incredibly useful. You mention doing more below, I look forward to them. Thank you.
Thanks Bob. Good to know as I want to do more what my audience want too. You should consider signing up to my free email list too. bit.ly/2RrjvpN All the best, Darren
Darren, You Sir are amazing. Your video tells as it is, and right to the point on how to re-set the frame rate. I have subscribed. Thank you very much
appreciated and than you for subscribing!! Enjoy my channel!! Thanks
Thanks Darren. I’m not really a beginner, but lots of great info here. Working at the wrong frame rate! Haven’t done that for a couple of weeks..
Cheers my friend.
Thanks for this video mate. really saved my project i worked on for 9 hours.
Pleasure
I just switched from Vegas and I am still learning the software, I thought I lost all my edits for a second lol thanks!
For anyone interested here is another work-around that I use to change the project setting entirely... @Darren Mostyn maybe you could make a short video of this to make it easier to follow?
(-Back-up your project as this involves temporary deleting.)
-Select everything in the media pool, copy all, delete.
-Change the frame rate of your now empty project.
-Next import any other clip (If it isn't the desired frame rate just hit "Don't Change) this 'locks' your frame-rate at the chosen rate.
-I am on Resolve 17, on Resolve 18 you may need also drop the clip onto a timeline as this has been updated as Darren detailed above!
-Then paste back in everything else - and you're all done!
This updates the timeline frame rate of the re-pasted timelines automatically so if you want some to stay as they were set them as independent as Darren detailed above. Skipping the importing other clip/timeline stage will mean Resolve reverts the Frame-Rate without asking so don't skip it!
I like this process instead of copying things across to a new project as it keeps all of my other project settings intact.
P.s. Reminder to never delete things in your project without a back-up first!
thank you for this, saved me big time! Super helpful! You now have a new subscriber!
Thanks for the sub! Really appreciated and welcome
That frame rate work around was ace. Legend.
Thank you ! Your video saved my 2 hours video editing ! :D
Cheers for the answer I needed! Thank you!
i made a 14 minute video out of 20 plus hours of footage, sadly i lost the very end, is now an 8 minute unfinished video but that better than loosing it all, thank you
Thanks so much! Thought I had to re edit the video again.
This was a huge save for my project! Thanks so much!
Thank you! You have saved me untold hours of rework on one of my videos ✅✅✅✅
Darren you are such a good teacher. Glad to find your channel !! Subscribed and Thanks
THANK U THIS HELPED ME SM THOUGHT I WAS GONNA HAVE TO RE EDIT
You are a life saver!!! Thank you so much for making this video. This video pinpointed my exact problem. Please keep making your videos!
Glad it helped Adrian.
THANK YOUI!! You've just saved me several days of re-editing a wedding.
Glad I could help!
Darren!! You just saved another life! Thanks Mate..Such a great help..
This is a ninja tip! I'll keep this one in the back of brain for the day I need to do this.
Wonderful information. I just edited for 3 hours and went to render, locked in at 59 fps, needed 29.97. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
thank you so much, you just saved me 2 hours of editing
Glad I could help!
Literally save my project and almost my will to even make any more after this. I was so heartbroken when i realized what happened
Thank you so much! You saved my project🖤
You're welcome!
thx man you just saved me 2 hours of work
Absolute Life saver! - 01:00am and i want to go to bed xD
Great tips as usual! Tnx Darren
My pleasure!
This saved me so much time :D Thank you so much !!! Great video.
You are a Life saver Brother!!!
Thank you !! You explained everything I have been looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Darren, I’m learning so much from your tutorials! This couldn’t have come at a better time - just done a timeline at the wrong frame rate….again….at least I can sort it painlessly now!! Great work as ever!👍
Glad to help! Happened to me today ironically!
You are awesome my friend ! Thanks for saving my life !
thank you darren! you are amazing🔥
All the information I needed, and in a very clear and intuitive manner.
Thanks!
Thank you! Saved me a great deal of time.
I understand this is very helpful but this method does not bring the audio channels details maybe the color page corrections also missing. I had problems many times when I have got projects with complete edit like a music video and convert all of that from 24 to 25 just need to re-edit most of the audio effects, transitions and more. I hope this will has a better solution, but this video is really helpful, thank you Darren!
Amazing Darren! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the tutorial! If In DR18 you setup timeline parameters manually since the beginning of working in a project, then fps in project settings won't be locked.
thanks a ton! such a easy to understand explanation :)
Glad you liked it!
You saved my entire arse man. I was 12 hours deep into an edit and didnt even realise i was on 24 fps as i had lowered my playback fps.
pleased to hear it.
Helped a lot thank you, was scared i lost like 5 hours worth of editing!
Great video Darren, but it didn't answer the question is I was asking myself throughout haha. Why can't you just change it at any time like in Premiere? I've edited using PP for like 10 years and now recently switched to Resolve, but in my mind it doesn't make any sense why it would be locked. Premiere just conforms all edits to the new frame rate without issues and has done so for years. What gives? 🤷
You can change the timeline framerate if there is no footage in it. So rather than having to create a new sequence, you can select all the clips on the timeline, hit Command+X to cut it but keep it in your clipboard, then right click on the timeline in the media pool, select timelines->timeline settings, untick "use project setting" and change the framerate. The go back to your timeline and hit command+V to paste all your clips back in. this is helpful if you've added a bunch of audio effects on a track rather than clip level (Dynamics, EQ etc) so you con't have to remake all of those in a new timeline
Hi Thomas, Yes I covered that in this episode by reusing timeline 2. Thanks for mentioning anyway. All the best, darren
thank you I just saved 10 min of my life by reading your comment
Saved me watching a 9min video for a two second job thank you very much 🙏
OMG, you are a lifesaver thank you so much brother you just saved my 2 hours of work. Thanks a lot
This worked for me.
You saved another soul today. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much, that was very easy to follow. Thought I was done for lol
Glad I could help!
Still helpful 2 years later thanks mate
Glad it helped.
BRILLIANT. I've been doing copy/paste when I screwed up. THANKS for this. Would you be able to do a video about why/how you use a stylus/wacom tablet within Resolve workflow? THX
Thanks for the video, as I only started with Resolve 18 recently and this was giving me trouble. I had been using movie studio and I was able to set the frame rate at the time of rendering and not get locked in.
This has led me to another question that I cannot find and answer to, and that is rendering slow motion videos.
Explanation : - My Galaxy can film at 240fps and plays back at 30fps when downloaded onto the PC with the result that the image is showing in slow motion. Now what I want to do is edit the footage so that a portion leading up the slow motion portion is playing at "normal" speed, then the slow motion segment, and back to "normal" after.
A friend showed me how to do it in Premiere Pro by re-timing the lead slow motion portion to play back at what we would term normal speed, but I cannot find any resolve tutorials showing me how. I cannot afford Premiere Pro.
Edit: I can edit the video to do this in the Galaxy phone, but I don't have the finesse as I do on the PC.
You're a savior. Thank you!
Thank you too
You just saved me hours. Thank you so much!
Glad I could help!
Thank you. It worked, but the colour grading nodes are not there on the new timeline, although it shows the already finished colour grading. Do you know if theres a solution for that problem so I can continue the color grading process with the already existing nodes? Thanks!
