Best thing I've ever done was fully switching to DaVinci Resolve when I bought my Pocket 4K one year ago. It's genuinely so much better in every single regard
I can say from personal experience, that their course was the best one I've taken for Resolve. It's detailed, interesting, and thorough, and really helps with more of the "how do i actually work in this program".
This was wonderful. I have been using Hitfilm Express for 3+ years. But made the switch to Davinci Resolve Studio 2 weeks ago. I'm counting on tutorials like this one to help me learn enough to keep going. The script is ready, but the learning curve seems daunting. Thank you for the clarity on the topics you discussed here.
Thanks so much and welcome to DaVinci Resolve. Keep on plugging away, there's a learning curve for sure, but it get's easier the more you learn. Check our @MrAlexTech and @CaseyFaris, they have great tutorials too.
I spent 10 years editing in Premiere, the transition to Davinci took about 3 months. Davinci almost never crashes. Text Based editing is vital for long format interviews. Using the Fairlight page is so much easier than round tripping to Audition, especially for TV commercial work which has tight deadlines and strict audio specifications. I think I paid about $400 AUD back in 2020 and that included the speed editor keyboard. I would NEVER go back to Premiere.
Text-Based-Editing is an absolutely amazing feature. So glad to not have to round-trip projects too. And all of that for 400AUD is insane. So glad it's working out for you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I am a new user of resolve and have been driven crazy by the different edit modes, your demonstration of selecting the top or bottom of a clip had totally bypassed me. You have no idea how much frustration that has caused. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video out.
Hello! Sorry you’ve had problems with the different edit modes. We think they help simplify the editing toolset. Are there any specific questions we can answer for you?
I came for just one part of this video and ended up watching the whole thing and filled some gaps in my Resolve knowledge. Team 2 Films has just become my favorite source for learning Resolve features (maybe even Fusion--need to see what is available). Very, very professional and easy to pick up new knowledge!
Thank-you so much. We like to call them knowledge potholes! Everyone has them, so do we. You don't know what you don't know, so often the only way to fill them is to go through some sort of systematic course or video. We're so glad you like our channel, Thanks for watching.
amazing video, the real gold for relevant things ,it's not for newbie rather than for people who are already beginner but doing things wrong. In fact this tutorial can be great even for professional. Just amazing stuff.
Surprisingly, your channel really deserves high praise. It is like a picture painted by a talented artist that speaks for itself. I admire your style, editing and color scheme.
I still edit with Premiere (when absolutely forced to) but I have fully embraced Resolve. One thing I have not tried or even know if possible is take a cuts only edit and save out .xml and then import into Premiere? I work with other editors that are Premiere only. If this is possible and if it works "flawlessly" I might do a backflip! Your channel is a godsend - not throwing any shade to "other" RUclipsrs but you folks really make things clear and concise. Plus all your content is quality. Lighting, sound, design and NO CLICK BAIT! :).
Thanks so much. We appreciate you watching and commenting. Yes, it's possible to export and xml to reimport back into Premiere. Effects won't transfer... but it's actually easier going from Resolve to Premiere than it is going from Premiere to Resolve as Resolve's xml export is really well built. Let us know how it goes.
Davinci has been the only software I’ve used and I feel quite confident using it. HOWEVER, you just showed some things I’ve never known! Amazing video! You are now my top Davinci teacher. Other guys out there have useful stuff but you crush it. The other fella on this channel is alright too but I’ll be watching anything you feature. Thank you!!!
Ah wow! I'm sorry about the course though. At least you are saving money on subscriptions now :) Welcome to DaVinci Resolve, it's such an awesome program.
So thorough and EASY to understand! Thanks @Team2Films for producing content that always elevates the topics and make complex features approachable for novices, but also deliver useful info for the professional users as well! 👍🌞
Thank-you, we're always happy to hear that even content for newcomers still has interest for the more experienced. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. We appreciate having you here.
Last week I finished my first project in DaVinci (coming from Premiere). The transition went surprisingly smooth. There were only 2 things, I was really missing, that Premiere has (among many things that I really liked and preferred over Premiere). 1-Maintaining clip's Transform settings after flattening a Multicam 2-Being able to switch off clip names on the timeline, to have a cleaner view and more space for audio waveforms. Probably not the right place for this feedback... Anyway thank you Blackmagic Design for the great and affordable software, thank you T2F for very cool tutorials!
Yeah, agreed, those are good ideas. This might not be what you are after, but it is possible to get a full screen timeline if you use more than one monitor. Glad you are enjoying the videos, thanks for commenting.
Thank you for a great essentials overview lesson. It is truly a sign of professionalism when the flow and clarity of the instructional video is in itself evidence of the product potential. Nice presentation, and presence as an instructor; also good energy in Leon's cameo. The bell is set 🙂
You're a great instructor, Natalie! Thanks for putting this together. I recently introduced a friend to Davinci, and sending him this video answers a lot of the questions he'll have a long the way. By the way, you have a new subscriber 😊
Natalie, this tutorial is so well structured and explained. I applaud your instruction and presentation. Incidentally, I come from Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro Studio. Would you do a video on setting up your drives for saving the various elements such as auto save, cache, renders and proxies when only drives are involved. Thanks again for a great video!
Hello Daniel, that's a great idea for a video. It's added to the list. We're also working on some content about switching to Resolve from the perspective of Avid Media Composer editors too. It will be interesting to hear your perspectives on that. Thanks for watching, we appreciate having you here.
Love this video. I remembered that I used this software many years ago. Makes me feel to get back into creating content frequently and making my edits better.
wow that is so much information in one vidoe with such a short time consider how long such videos could be also the pace is nice and easy to follow on and understand. The explanatino behind the feature sets were very helpful. thank you for sharing this one and good luck for future ones.
This is just my two cents of advice coming from someone who is certified through the Blackmagic Training. One, if this video is any example of the rest of your course, your course is leagues above the Blackmagic Course. Two, I don't know if this is geared toward hobbyists because of the price point of the course. It seems this is geared toward professional editors, filmmakers, film students and colleges. I am a college professor and this would be great for our students to watch before their intro class. Just my two cents. I wish you the best because this video is outstanding.
Thank you so much. We appreciate your kind compliment. Yes, the course is geared towards working professionals…. But I’ve no doubt hobbyists would enjoy it too. Thank you for sharing our videos with your students. Keep up the awesome work. It makes us happy knowing people like yourself are in our audience.
I used premiere and after effects for many years, and I was very hesitant to try Davinci, but hey, I did it and learned Davinci in about a week, but for sure, I am not a pro in Davinci, but at least I know the basics and am focusing now on color grading, and the funny thing is that I am doing things in Davinci better than Adobe, as for fusion, it is a bit hard at first but once you know how it works it gets easier, but it still takes a lot of time to learn fusion, what I like most in DaVinci Resolve mostly reliant on GPU, and since I have a 3090, it renders much faster than Adobe, Not to forget that Davinci is all-in-one, so there is no need to use many software's and keep switching between them.
Such a helpful and interesting video, thanks! It did make me laugh every time she said “ingesting media” though (ingesting means eating, maybe “importing” is the word) 😂 🙏🏼👌🏼
Hahaha. It’s an industry term though. Ingesting involves more than just importing media. It involves organisation and other setup. Nice to have you here, thanks for watching
What about the After Effects users? For example my workflow is this : C4D - 3d renders and after that comping in AE - in fact just using some specular, reflection pass, DOF and masks, and then a lot of transitions - fading and finishing - trapcode particular, etc. to delivery in 126:9, vertical...this would be very useful!
I switched from Final Cut X about a year ago and although the learning curve has been pretty steep, there’s no turning back for me. Nathalie’s videos have been essential to help me transition smoothly and I wish this one would have existed a year ago :) One question: what is the difference between using the dedicated proxy generating app and generate them inside resolve? I find it more intuitive to generate them from within the project but I see that in the tutorial you recommend the App. Why is that? Thanks again for your amazing work.
Excellent introduction and includes tips that even seasoned resolve users may not be aware of. One question. With text based editing. Is it possible to take audio files containing narration and use text best editing to align these (using the selected required text transcribed by resolve) with the appropriate video clips?
Amazing, a lot of this things mentioned i heard from you also in Amsterdam, but this Video is completely on another level, it literally makes Davinci look very easy to deal with. Keep it up!
Keyframing and Fusion is kind of a nightmare. And I'm using Resolve as my primary tool. At least compared to 3d software, like in Maya from *20 YEARS ago,* keyframing (animation graph) was "another planet" level, as well as Nuke.... BlackMagic should think about "make it right" and fix rudimentary basic things that's easy to fix (keyframes). Imagine rewritten UI in QT, the same but with floating windows and panels and not one "fused" window................. Awesome tutorial as always 👏👍
Yes, we agree that the animation controls Fusion could benefit from some improvement. We're hoping improvements are on the cards for a future release. Leon
Great support, many thanks! DaVinci color managed is very powerful. Actually I had to add a LUT to my dji drone footage (which one?). Switching from FCP. Will buy this Studio version for its AI tools, magic mask, voice/music management… What about the added value of NPU (new Copilot+PC & ARM version)? Not a pro, but I consider buying your course as well. Greetings 🇨🇭
Hello! 👋 thank-you so much for watching. RCM color management does have options for DJI Log. Are they the correct ones for your camera? It’s awesome that the dev team have been optimising resolve for windows arm platforms too. The course is great for beginners too! Hopefully you’ve seen on our channel that even when we cover advanced topics we do it in a way that doesn’t leave anyone behind. If you have any questions, please reach out to us using the contact form on the website. We’d be happy to help! Thanks again for watching, we appreciate having you here!
thanks, will be looking at this video soon. what about After Effects and Premiere Pro MOGRTs, they are very useful, streamlining teams working efficiently. Whats the comparable function in Fusion? thanks
This is a great tutorial! Very good pace, explanations, and examples. However, I kind of chuckled when she just blew right over the "Cut" page. I use that page for a real quick edit before getting down and dirty with the project. She even has a Speed Editor sitting on the desk (which really shines with the Cut page). Folks are really missing out of they don't even touch that page. Overall, i enjoyed watching this vid. Great job!
Thanks so much for watching! The reason we glossed over the cut page in this video is because it’s aimed at users switching from other programs like Premiere. The cut page is a little confusing for them sometimes. We love the cut page too though and use it for a lot of our assembly edits. Great to have you here.
@@team2films The fact that you replied to this comment (and so quickly I might add) is a testament to your will to truly wanting to help folks. Very nice! I understand what your goal was here. Thank you for clarifying. I'm not sure if you have one, but perhaps a separate video showcasing the Cut page...with the Speed Editor of course. :) Thanks once again! 👍
@@darrenking2231Our pleasure. Yeah a video on the cut page would be awesome. We’ll joy it down for a future video, in the mean time @MrAlexTech has some awesome cut page content. He is well worth investigating. Glad to have you here, please always feel free to leave comments and questions. Thanks for your kind compliment. Regards Leon + Natalie
@@team2films Yup! I hang out on Alex's channel from time to time. :) One other thing that occurred to watching this vid. I was always taught when it comes to color space, is to go to Color Processing Mode in Color Management in the Project Settings page, choose Custom, then choose Davinci WG/Intermediate for the Timeline. THEN choose your Input Color Space in the Media page to whatever camera you shot the footage with. I didn't see you address it in that sort of way. Thoughts on that?
@@darrenking2231That’s a good point. We address that in our colour management masterclass (if you’ve not watched it, please check it out). For beginners (whom this video is aimed at) who will likely never export anything but rec709, the ‘simply turn it on’ approach keeps things simple. That’s why we don’t cover DWG in this video. Hope that makes sense.
Excellent video tutorial! I'm new to Davinci and have a few questions. 1. Is there a way to increase the size of the audio meter on the right side of the edit page without switching to the fair light page? It is very small. If I set the GUI to 200% what would that change? 2. How do you reset the timeline timecode to zero vs the default 1 hour readout? 3. The single preview mode I prefer to use seems to cut a little headroom off the talking head. I think it's set to fit or 100% 4. Other than the mono option on the timeline, is there another way to copy right to left or left to right audio channels on a clip that has one channel only? 5. Do you have a dedicated video on multi-cam editing? 6. Is there a .mov export codec option in export in the free version and what is the max kbps bit rate we can type in other than 80,000? 7. If I understand the color correction process, there needs to be a separate node for each adjustment like gamma, highlights, contrast etc. a node for each vs. all in one adjustment. Is that correct? 8. There are some pretty nice 3D premade fusion titles that are thick and have cool animations. I'll learn to create one from scratch sometime if you have a tutorial video on 3d Titles. 9. How do I get the singe preview window mode to max out in size where it is very wide? Im using a high end pro laptop with 4K 3840 X 2160 screen resolution. I also always film and edit in UHD. 10. Are the built-in sound FX and music library copyright free and can they be used commercially beyond RUclips? I appreciate any info on the above questions.
Thanks for watching. Answers below. 1. No. 2. Right-click on the timeline in the media pool, goto Timeline > Starting Timecode. 3. Not sure what you mean. 4. Yes, clip attributes is a great way of doing that. 5. We've got a number of lessons dedicate to that in our DaVinci Resolve for Editors course (link in the description). Check out the lesson listings! 6. Yes, QuickTime (.mov) can be exported from the free version. On Windows there are codec limitations. You can use programs like www.voukoder.org to bring ProRes functionality to Resolve. Or use DNx instead. 7. You can place all your corrections in a single node. That's fine. Most people tend to organise different operations into different nodes. Certain secondary color corrections need to be in separate nodes to limit their effect. 8. Gladly. 9. I'm not sure what you mean here! Sorry. More details? 10. Yes, check out the Sound Library tab.
@@team2films Thank you for your response . You're the only Davinci user channel that responded to my questions. The question on number 3 about the head room was it seems the preview windows are cutting off some of the naturally framed camera shot. I had more headroom on top of the talking persons head in the raw footage. Is the preview windows should be set to fit, 100%...? The number 9 question was it seemed like on some DaVinci tutorials, I've seen they have their single preview screen extremely wide and wondered what seeting adjusted the screen width?
@@JoelS4000 The source monitor is affected by the timeline resolution and project scaling options (I believe). So if your timeline resolution doesn't match your clip, and you have scale to fill enabled it will crop the image. It's not actually cropped though, it's just in the source monitor. I think. Does that sound like it's the solution?
I switched from Final Cut to Resolve a year ago and don't regret it even a little. Both as a value proposition and for features. I only wish Resolve had a comparable tool to mPuppet (mesh warper) in FCP. It's the only thing that keeps me from deleting the app entirely
Brilliant tutorial. Thanks. I recently made the switch from FCPX. I tried pancaking timelines, but for some strange reason , it was not possible to load a second timeline even though two timelines were open.
Absolutely amazing video! Do you guys know if there's any way to automatically update media folders? For example, if I add an Img folder to my media pool with 2 images, but later I add to that folder on my computer more images, does DR19 automatically refresh with the newly added images?
Basically, keep your projects in a library. Once a project is 'finished' you can continue to keep them on the library and organise them in different folders. You can even create different libraries specifically for organising archived projects. You can also export your projects from the library and save them as a .drp file for future use. If you want to share a project with someone you can export it as a .drp file for them. However the easier method would be to use a networked or cloud base library. Libraries might sound like a more complicated way of managing projects, but I think that's just because they are so different from the way Premiere works. Libraries are awesome and simplify project management when you are used to them. Did that help? Please ask more questions if you have them.
@@team2films what about all the other setting like local libraries. I might have the terms wrong, but I remember it was more than just having a library on a external drive.
@@DANAMIONLINE Not too sure what you mean. In short, local libraries can be stored on an internal drive, an external drive or a networked drive. But they will only be accessible by one person at a time. You can mount and unmount libraries as you please. Does that answer your question?
thank you for the great tutorial, I notes that the black bars @Mismatched Res it's a checker board, So could you please explain from where you change to be checker board?
one thing that stops me from switching entirely to resolve is the way how resolve saves projects. I would like to have my projects saved inside specific folders so that I could easily find them and open when needed. just the same as premiere can do. now I am forced to open resolve first and then search media pool for required project, which I might forget how it was named. you should really consider to provide the ability to save projects wherever user wants.
Yes, we understand how that could be frustrating when you are used to Premiere's system. It's worth keeping in mind the huge advantages that Resolve's library based project management brings though. 1. It allows multi-user collaboration. 2. It have amazing features like live save, project backups and timeline backups. 3. You could look at it the other way, that having all your projects in one place aids organisation. 4. It integrates with Blackmagic's amazing cloud services. Not to mention all the other amazing features you get with Resolve like Magic Mask, Music Remixer, world-class color grading tools... etc. Perhaps the change in workflow is worthwhile?
@@team2films it is not about workflow habits, but about convenience of software usage. I don't know if it is difficult to make possible to save project as independent file, but it would be very useful for users
first of all I would like to thank you for your wonderful videos and tutorials. Thank you! Second, I would like to ask what gear are your using, i.e monitor for color grading and speakers for audio mixing? Thank you again, Shlomo
@@team2films thank you for the information. So with this equipment it is possible to learn color grading and correction and sound design? Thank you again 👍🏻😊
@@Lonlysky The best equipment is the equipment you have, or the equipment you can afford. It's possible to learn and produce excellent work with less expensive equipment. For example, most apple computers ship with excellent screens. For sound, a good pair of headphones is the bare minimum. Speakers are great, but require proper positioning and a treated room to get the best from them. Most of the time, it's more valuable to spend time learning new skills than it is to spend money on new equipment. I hope that makes sense! Please feel free to ask more questions.
Thanks, great video. Regarding life save: If you enable this, is there still a way to revert back to a manually saved state? In case you maybe messed something up and need to go back to your earlier version of the project for example.
We've got footage in the can that we shot for the video. I think we might combine it with our PYXIS video. Sorry about that! The spring got super busy! In the meantime, are there any questions we can answer for you?
very well presented but cant it be used for bigger projects like a feature film or a netflix series because in that you need to sort, sync make subclip & much more?
It’s used for all sorts of projects including features. It has the features you describe. It’s possible to make sub clips, sync media, it has rich metadata and organisation and much more! We’re going to be making more videos on pro workflows in the future. Thanks for watching.
You know what is the main problem with those "davinci for beginners"? Beginners don't shoot RAW with metadata or on ARRI. I can't get my footage to "normal" looking because I don't know what profile my camera uses. It's probably rec.709 but FLAT profile, so I need to play with contrasts, curves and etc. Then the problem is color matching between different shots in the same scene.
@@team2films hello team2films can you help me. My issue is that I can't auto align clips based on the waveform. It is out of sync almost by 1 frame. Hopefully I did it manually but why is this issue with resolve.

i'm in love
Us too. Resolve is awesome!
Love this video. I remembered that I used this software many years ago. Makes me feel to get back into creating content frequently and making my edits better.
Thanks so much! Keep on creating :)
wow that is so much information in one vidoe with such a short time consider how long such videos could be also the pace is nice and easy to follow on and understand. The explanatino behind the feature sets were very helpful. thank you for sharing this one and good luck for future ones.
wow, a good tutor she is!
It's a great, well structured video. For the first time I'm enjoying learning editing. If i had money, I would definitely buy the course.
We're so glad to have you here. Thanks for watching and commenting.
such a top tier production as always...
Thanks so much!
Thank you for a great video
Wow, thank you!
You're welcome!
This is just my two cents of advice coming from someone who is certified through the Blackmagic Training. One, if this video is any example of the rest of your course, your course is leagues above the Blackmagic Course. Two, I don't know if this is geared toward hobbyists because of the price point of the course. It seems this is geared toward professional editors, filmmakers, film students and colleges. I am a college professor and this would be great for our students to watch before their intro class. Just my two cents. I wish you the best because this video is outstanding.
Thank you so much. We appreciate your kind compliment. Yes, the course is geared towards working professionals…. But I’ve no doubt hobbyists would enjoy it too. Thank you for sharing our videos with your students. Keep up the awesome work. It makes us happy knowing people like yourself are in our audience.
best tut on the web by far!!
Thanks so much!
such a nice profesional tutorial idk how it's free , thanks
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy it.
Can't believe how strong resolve is
It's so cool!
I used premiere and after effects for many years, and I was very hesitant to try Davinci, but hey, I did it and learned Davinci in about a week, but for sure, I am not a pro in Davinci, but at least I know the basics and am focusing now on color grading, and the funny thing is that I am doing things in Davinci better than Adobe, as for fusion, it is a bit hard at first but once you know how it works it gets easier, but it still takes a lot of time to learn fusion, what I like most in DaVinci Resolve mostly reliant on GPU, and since I have a 3090, it renders much faster than Adobe, Not to forget that Davinci is all-in-one, so there is no need to use many software's and keep switching between them.
amazing features description! thanks
Appreciate you commenting. Thank-you
so good
Thanks!
Thank you. This video is incredible on so many levels.
Thanks a lot. Appreciate having you here.
Thanks Team 2 Films for this course.! Can you upload course tutorial about BlackMagic Fusion Studio ?
We've just released a tutorial on Resolve Studio Fusion! Or do you mean stand-alone-fusion?
Great tute! Perrrty presenter too! 😊
Thanks
Such a helpful and interesting video, thanks!
It did make me laugh every time she said “ingesting media” though (ingesting means eating, maybe “importing” is the word) 😂 🙏🏼👌🏼
Hahaha. It’s an industry term though. Ingesting involves more than just importing media. It involves organisation and other setup. Nice to have you here, thanks for watching
What about the After Effects users? For example my workflow is this : C4D - 3d renders and after that comping in AE - in fact just using some specular, reflection pass, DOF and masks, and then a lot of transitions - fading and finishing - trapcode particular, etc. to delivery in 126:9, vertical...this would be very useful!
Great video ❤🎉
Thank-you so much!
I switched from Final Cut X about a year ago and although the learning curve has been pretty steep, there’s no turning back for me. Nathalie’s videos have been essential to help me transition smoothly and I wish this one would have existed a year ago :)
One question: what is the difference between using the dedicated proxy generating app and generate them inside resolve? I find it more intuitive to generate them from within the project but I see that in the tutorial you recommend the App. Why is that?
Thanks again for your amazing work.
Excellent introduction and includes tips that even seasoned resolve users may not be aware of. One question. With text based editing. Is it possible to take audio files containing narration and use text best editing to align these (using the selected required text transcribed by resolve) with the appropriate video clips?
Amazing, a lot of this things mentioned i heard from you also in Amsterdam, but this Video is completely on another level, it literally makes Davinci look very easy to deal with. Keep it up!
Thank you so much. That is kind of you to say. So glad you got to come to Amsterdam.
creativity 💯👌
Great tutorial as always. ✌💪
Thanks so much :)
Keyframing and Fusion is kind of a nightmare. And I'm using Resolve as my primary tool. At least compared to 3d software, like in Maya from *20 YEARS ago,* keyframing (animation graph) was "another planet" level, as well as Nuke.... BlackMagic should think about "make it right" and fix rudimentary basic things that's easy to fix (keyframes).
Imagine rewritten UI in QT, the same but with floating windows and panels and not one "fused" window................. Awesome tutorial as always 👏👍
Yes, we agree that the animation controls Fusion could benefit from some improvement. We're hoping improvements are on the cards for a future release. Leon
Amazing quality, as usual 🔥
Thanks so much. Appreciate you commenting.
Well done
Thank-you!
Couldnt pick a better time to release this video
We're hoping people find it helpful. Not trying to wade into whether or not people should switch, but we know are lot are looking to. Thanks so much.
Great support, many thanks! DaVinci color managed is very powerful. Actually I had to add a LUT to my dji drone footage (which one?). Switching from FCP.
Will buy this Studio version for its AI tools, magic mask, voice/music management… What about the added value of NPU (new Copilot+PC & ARM version)?
Not a pro, but I consider buying your course as well.
Greetings 🇨🇭
Hello! 👋 thank-you so much for watching. RCM color management does have options for DJI Log. Are they the correct ones for your camera? It’s awesome that the dev team have been optimising resolve for windows arm platforms too.
The course is great for beginners too! Hopefully you’ve seen on our channel that even when we cover advanced topics we do it in a way that doesn’t leave anyone behind.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us using the contact form on the website. We’d be happy to help!
Thanks again for watching, we appreciate having you here!
thanks, will be looking at this video soon.
what about After Effects and Premiere Pro MOGRTs, they are very useful, streamlining teams working efficiently. Whats the comparable function in Fusion?
thanks
This is a great tutorial! Very good pace, explanations, and examples. However, I kind of chuckled when she just blew right over the "Cut" page. I use that page for a real quick edit before getting down and dirty with the project. She even has a Speed Editor sitting on the desk (which really shines with the Cut page). Folks are really missing out of they don't even touch that page. Overall, i enjoyed watching this vid. Great job!
Thanks so much for watching! The reason we glossed over the cut page in this video is because it’s aimed at users switching from other programs like Premiere. The cut page is a little confusing for them sometimes. We love the cut page too though and use it for a lot of our assembly edits. Great to have you here.
@@team2films The fact that you replied to this comment (and so quickly I might add) is a testament to your will to truly wanting to help folks. Very nice! I understand what your goal was here. Thank you for clarifying. I'm not sure if you have one, but perhaps a separate video showcasing the Cut page...with the Speed Editor of course. :) Thanks once again! 👍
@@darrenking2231Our pleasure. Yeah a video on the cut page would be awesome. We’ll joy it down for a future video, in the mean time @MrAlexTech has some awesome cut page content. He is well worth investigating.
Glad to have you here, please always feel free to leave comments and questions. Thanks for your kind compliment. Regards Leon + Natalie
@@team2films Yup! I hang out on Alex's channel from time to time. :) One other thing that occurred to watching this vid. I was always taught when it comes to color space, is to go to Color Processing Mode in Color Management in the Project Settings page, choose Custom, then choose Davinci WG/Intermediate for the Timeline. THEN choose your Input Color Space in the Media page to whatever camera you shot the footage with. I didn't see you address it in that sort of way. Thoughts on that?
@@darrenking2231That’s a good point. We address that in our colour management masterclass (if you’ve not watched it, please check it out). For beginners (whom this video is aimed at) who will likely never export anything but rec709, the ‘simply turn it on’ approach keeps things simple. That’s why we don’t cover DWG in this video. Hope that makes sense.
I think I'll stay, thanks
Appreciate you watching though. Thanks for commenting.
Excellent video tutorial! I'm new to Davinci and have a few questions.
1. Is there a way to increase the size of the audio meter on the right side of the edit page without switching to the fair light page? It is very small.
If I set the GUI to 200% what would that change?
2. How do you reset the timeline timecode to zero vs the default 1 hour readout?
3. The single preview mode I prefer to use seems to cut a little headroom off the talking head. I think it's set to fit or 100%
4. Other than the mono option on the timeline, is there another way to copy right to left or left to right audio channels on a clip that has one channel only?
5. Do you have a dedicated video on multi-cam editing?
6. Is there a .mov export codec option in export in the free version and what is the max kbps bit rate we can type in other than 80,000?
7. If I understand the color correction process, there needs to be a separate node for each adjustment like gamma, highlights, contrast etc. a node for each vs. all in one adjustment. Is that correct?
8. There are some pretty nice 3D premade fusion titles that are thick and have cool animations. I'll learn to create one from scratch sometime if you have a tutorial video on 3d Titles.
9. How do I get the singe preview window mode to max out in size where it is very wide? Im using a high end pro laptop with 4K 3840 X 2160 screen resolution. I also always film and edit in UHD.
10. Are the built-in sound FX and music library copyright free and can they be used commercially beyond RUclips?
I appreciate any info on the above questions.
Thanks for watching. Answers below.
1. No.
2. Right-click on the timeline in the media pool, goto Timeline > Starting Timecode.
3. Not sure what you mean.
4. Yes, clip attributes is a great way of doing that.
5. We've got a number of lessons dedicate to that in our DaVinci Resolve for Editors course (link in the description). Check out the lesson listings!
6. Yes, QuickTime (.mov) can be exported from the free version. On Windows there are codec limitations. You can use programs like www.voukoder.org to bring ProRes functionality to Resolve. Or use DNx instead.
7. You can place all your corrections in a single node. That's fine. Most people tend to organise different operations into different nodes. Certain secondary color corrections need to be in separate nodes to limit their effect.
8. Gladly.
9. I'm not sure what you mean here! Sorry. More details?
10. Yes, check out the Sound Library tab.
@@team2films Thank you for your response . You're the only Davinci user channel that responded to my questions. The question on number 3 about the head room was it seems the preview windows are cutting off some of the naturally framed camera shot. I had more headroom on top of the talking persons head in the raw footage. Is the preview windows should be set to fit, 100%...? The number 9 question was it seemed like on some DaVinci tutorials, I've seen they have their single preview screen extremely wide and wondered what seeting adjusted the screen width?
@@JoelS4000 The source monitor is affected by the timeline resolution and project scaling options (I believe). So if your timeline resolution doesn't match your clip, and you have scale to fill enabled it will crop the image. It's not actually cropped though, it's just in the source monitor. I think. Does that sound like it's the solution?
@@team2films I'll double check next time I use the program. Thank you for your time and help.
Thank you so much this video is best l have seen. Can you tell where to find the undo and re-do button in resolve, please ?
It's in the edit menu (at the top)! Thanks so much for watching. Hope that helps.
Wow, great vid!
Thank-you Jeff
Protect her at all cost.
excellent , thanks .
Thank-you Barrie
Thanks much for this video. I ordered my iPad Pro m4 . So, please confirm if DaVinci resolve 19 is already available for iPad ?
I switched from Final Cut to Resolve a year ago and don't regret it even a little. Both as a value proposition and for features. I only wish Resolve had a comparable tool to mPuppet (mesh warper) in FCP. It's the only thing that keeps me from deleting the app entirely
Ah yeah, that would be great to see come to Resolve. Suggest it in the forums if you havn't already. Glad Resolve is working out so well for you.
Great
Brilliant tutorial. Thanks. I recently made the switch from FCPX. I tried pancaking timelines, but for some strange reason , it was not possible to load a second timeline even though two timelines were open.
Hmmmm. You can't select different timelines from the drop-down in the second timeline window? Is the dropdown list empty?
@@team2films Thanks for your response. I believe it is because the timelines are in different projects. Is there a way to merge projects?
@@NigelBainesah… that makes sense. You can export the timeline from one project and import it into the other.
Or alternatively, what good headphones you will recommend? Thank you again 😊
We're using two different pairs. Audio Technical ATH-M50X and Yamaha HPH-MT8. They are both excellent.
@@team2films thank you 👍🏻
i am only a hobbyist, currently using iPad free version. If I have a powerful computer I sure buy the studio version.😂
Charming :-)
Always ☺️ Thanks for watching.
Love it🙏🏻
We appreciate that
@@team2films we appreciate you guys🤗
Absolutely amazing video! Do you guys know if there's any way to automatically update media folders? For example, if I add an Img folder to my media pool with 2 images, but later I add to that folder on my computer more images, does DR19 automatically refresh with the newly added images?
Thanks so much! As far as we are aware, NO Resolve does not have some sort of 'Watch Folder' feature that will automatically import media.
@@team2films got it! Too sad 😔 thanks 🙏
Look up super bins by william justice. It does all that and more.
@@JonatanCastro I think this is now possible with DR19; you can refresh the folder in the Media Pool to update it.
What is the proper database workflow? In PR, I’m used to editing projects on an external editing drive and archive at completion.
Basically, keep your projects in a library. Once a project is 'finished' you can continue to keep them on the library and organise them in different folders. You can even create different libraries specifically for organising archived projects. You can also export your projects from the library and save them as a .drp file for future use.
If you want to share a project with someone you can export it as a .drp file for them. However the easier method would be to use a networked or cloud base library.
Libraries might sound like a more complicated way of managing projects, but I think that's just because they are so different from the way Premiere works. Libraries are awesome and simplify project management when you are used to them.
Did that help?
Please ask more questions if you have them.
@@team2films can I store libraries on an external drive?
@@DANAMIONLINE Yes.
@@team2films what about all the other setting like local libraries. I might have the terms wrong, but I remember it was more than just having a library on a external drive.
@@DANAMIONLINE Not too sure what you mean. In short, local libraries can be stored on an internal drive, an external drive or a networked drive. But they will only be accessible by one person at a time. You can mount and unmount libraries as you please. Does that answer your question?
Hello,
So the voice isolator tool is only available in the paid version of Davinche?
thank you for the great tutorial, I notes that the black bars @Mismatched Res it's a checker board, So could you please explain from where you change to be checker board?
It's a new v19 feature. You can find the options in the Timeline View Options drop down (top left hand corner of the timeline panel).
@@team2films thank you I'm sill in 18.6.6 I will wait it to be out of beta
one thing that stops me from switching entirely to resolve is the way how resolve saves projects. I would like to have my projects saved inside specific folders so that I could easily find them and open when needed. just the same as premiere can do. now I am forced to open resolve first and then search media pool for required project, which I might forget how it was named. you should really consider to provide the ability to save projects wherever user wants.
Yes, we understand how that could be frustrating when you are used to Premiere's system. It's worth keeping in mind the huge advantages that Resolve's library based project management brings though.
1. It allows multi-user collaboration.
2. It have amazing features like live save, project backups and timeline backups.
3. You could look at it the other way, that having all your projects in one place aids organisation.
4. It integrates with Blackmagic's amazing cloud services.
Not to mention all the other amazing features you get with Resolve like Magic Mask, Music Remixer, world-class color grading tools... etc. Perhaps the change in workflow is worthwhile?
@@team2films it is not about workflow habits, but about convenience of software usage. I don't know if it is difficult to make possible to save project as independent file, but it would be very useful for users
first of all I would like to thank you for your wonderful videos and tutorials. Thank you! Second, I would like to ask what gear are your using, i.e monitor for color grading and speakers for audio mixing? Thank you again, Shlomo
Hello! Here's some info.
Current monitor = ASUS PA32UCXR
Speakers = Yamaha HS5 with HS8S Subwoofer
@@team2films thank you for the information. So with this equipment it is possible to learn color grading and correction and sound design? Thank you again 👍🏻😊
@@Lonlysky The best equipment is the equipment you have, or the equipment you can afford. It's possible to learn and produce excellent work with less expensive equipment. For example, most apple computers ship with excellent screens. For sound, a good pair of headphones is the bare minimum. Speakers are great, but require proper positioning and a treated room to get the best from them. Most of the time, it's more valuable to spend time learning new skills than it is to spend money on new equipment. I hope that makes sense! Please feel free to ask more questions.
@@team2films it makes sense, yes. Thank you for your good will and patience! 👍🏻😊🌻
@@team2films would like to ask you what are your recommendations for headphones for mixing? Thank you 😊🙏🏻
Thanks, great video. Regarding life save: If you enable this, is there still a way to revert back to a manually saved state? In case you maybe messed something up and need to go back to your earlier version of the project for example.
Yes 100%. That's what the projects backup feature is for. It regularly saves versions of your project that you can revert back to at any time.
FYI - your " The camera we shoot with:" link in your description returns with a 404 not found.
By the way, I couldn't find repeat effect in my edit page in my studio version. is it an add-on or plug-in ?
What happened to the Blackmagic 6k Full Frame review? You were testing the camera as far as I can remember?
We've got footage in the can that we shot for the video. I think we might combine it with our PYXIS video. Sorry about that! The spring got super busy!
In the meantime, are there any questions we can answer for you?
@@team2films yes when its out :D
@@CINENIMUS No questions in the meantime?
@@team2films that was the question haha you're welcome for all the algo traffic haha
very well presented but cant it be used for bigger projects like a feature film or a netflix series because in that you need to sort, sync make subclip & much more?
It’s used for all sorts of projects including features. It has the features you describe. It’s possible to make sub clips, sync media, it has rich metadata and organisation and much more! We’re going to be making more videos on pro workflows in the future. Thanks for watching.
@@team2films thanks for replying, i just completed a netflix series on premiere pro & had lot of problem so looking forward to pro workflow videos.
You know what is the main problem with those "davinci for beginners"? Beginners don't shoot RAW with metadata or on ARRI.
I can't get my footage to "normal" looking because I don't know what profile my camera uses. It's probably rec.709 but FLAT profile, so I need to play with contrasts, curves and etc. Then the problem is color matching between different shots in the same scene.
Me whose first Editing software is davinchi resolve 😂
Haha! you've never known a switch! That's awesome. Thanks for watching still :)
@@team2films hello team2films can you help me. My issue is that I can't auto align clips based on the waveform. It is out of sync almost by 1 frame. Hopefully I did it manually but why is this issue with resolve.
