Very soon... Watch this space for new book and exams. Hopefully this channel and others like it have filled the void in the meantime 😉

Thanx ​@@Chris.Roberts🙏🏻

You're very kind. Thanks for commenting!

I'll add it to the list! Stay tuned!

@Chris.Roberts Thank you very much. I have a Lumix S5II X and Black Magic Video Assist!! Braw Is fantastic!!!

That's weird... I've not had that happen before. Maybe there was something that confused the Neural Engine, but in all honesty I'm guessing... Do you manage to cancel it and try again?

Awesome! The new Beginner's Guide for Resolve 19 will be available soon. And good to have you aboard the UA-cam train too.

No worries... Traditionally we'd refer to a "title" as something involving text... Whereas a generator would be more a background or full-screen element. In Resolve both are Fusion compositions... The distinction is whether you want them to appear as "titles" or "generators" in the Edit page Effects library... Saving a macro to the Fusion > Templates > Edit > Title makes them appear in the Titles section... Saving it to Fusion > Templates > Edit > Generators makes them appear in the Generators section. Same macro, different locations. HTH!

@@Chris.Roberts ❤

Fantastic! Great to hear and thanks for commenting 🙏🏻

Yep, if you select a clip and cut, it'll cut that clip at the playhead... If you have nothing selected, it'll cut right through all clips on the timeline at the playhead... If you don't want the music clip cut, the easiest thing would be to lock the track using the lower timeline track controls on the left side. HTH!

That sounds like a great workflow and good use of customised shortcuts. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻

That’s great to hear! Thanks for commenting 🙏🏻

Thank you 🙏🏻 🔉

Depends how you're trying to sync... Are you using the Sound option? If so, try switching to another method like In points... I've not had 100% success with some audio files before. HTH!

Yes. I'm not aware of any limitations with the MotionVFX templates and the free version of Resolve.

@@Chris.Roberts Cheers Chris, I was having problems getting some of the effects to load, it was due to missing fonts. many thanks Barry

Fantastic! Happy to hear it helped and thanks for commenting!

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thank you! In principle these templates are just the same as any of the regular titles and generators and can be treated the same. You can use the techniques I covered in this video ua-cam.com/video/p39Hu9ThL98/v-deo.html about reusing titles across other projects using Power Bins. HTH!

@@Chris.Roberts - Thanks SO much! ❤

You’re very kind! Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Hi... I use this process to trim the media for my timelines all the time and I haven't had a problem. That said, I feel you pain. I have been there with earlier versions of Resolve! I assume you're selecting Timelines and Used media and trim options in Media Management? This creates the trimmed media AND a .drt timeline file in the destination folder. You are then NOT relinking to these files in the current project. Instead, import the .drt into a new project and the trimmed media will be automatically relinked. The Relink New Files option is used if you're managing the files within the same project... This will create new clips int he media pool to automatically relink to the new media, but I would only do this in a copy of your project. This is where I've been burned previously. Hope this helps!

@@Chris.Roberts Hey Chris, I appreciate the response. I followed the steps exactly as shown at 6:30 in the video. the subsequent folder created does contain the trimmed files, but no DRT file is being created. I believe I am using the same version of resolve shown. Any reason you could think why the DRT is not being made? the reason I ended up trying to manually link the clips is because this file was not appearing for me. Struggling to figure out where I am going wrong. Thanks for the vid regardless.

Hi again! Ok, so maybe it's because you don't have the "Preserve hierarchy..." option enabled? If this is the case then Resolve will manage the media and the .drt into the same folder, rather than being outside the folder as in my video. Go digging in that folder, I bet you'll find it buried in there somewhere 😉 HTH!

Great to hear. I'll look at making some more Fusion tutorials in the future. Let me know if there are any subjects you'd like to see.

I really hope the devs let us organize the macros a little easier. Making these templates for myself is simple but making templates for new and inexperienced users is sweat inducing.

Wonderful! Thanks for commenting and subscribing.

Yes. There’s a chapter in this video for Freeze Frames. Or check out the separate Quick Tip QUICK TIP: FREEZE FRAMES in DaVinci Resolve ua-cam.com/video/bEBggc__f6U/v-deo.html

Thank you! You're right... It's certainly not an intuitive process... you have to dig around to find the controls you want and they're not always obvious, so it most definitely could be more user friendly. That said, I honestly just tried things out until I got the results I wanted... As long as the macro is in the Macros folder (just move it there if need be) you can always reopen it in the Macro Editor and change the controls. Trial and error is a great teacher 🤣

You're very welcome. Thank you!

Sure... no problem... It's actually a simple process. You just zip up the Edit folder in the Templates folder (including the Titles, Generators, Effects and Transitions subfolders containing the appropriate macros)... change the .zip extension to .drfx and pop in back in the Templates folder. But I'll look to put together a video if it'll help. Thanks for commenting!

hopefully FUN fab Fusion facts... 😉

@Chris.Roberts - of course! 😀

😉

Thank you!

No worries! I'll add it to the list. Thanks!

@ awesome. I heard Blackmagic modified the “Ducker” in the Edit Page but haven’t tried yet.

Yes. You can now use multiple tracks as sources in 19.1. Great for using the Ducker with more than one dialogue track now. 😎

Hey, great question... The same template will work in any timeline resolution and aspect ratio... however, depending on the motion you setup and the overall design then you may need to consider different titles for vertical and horizontal aspects. HTH!

@@Chris.Roberts - Thanks so much for answering my question! I had thought this was the case but I wasn't sure if I just didn't know enough to figure out how to make just a single one rather than one for each aspect ratio. I really appreciate you creating the content you do for us!

You're welcome! Thanks for commenting.

Thank you! 🙏🏻

Fantastic... These are great tips for custom shortcuts... It's about speed of course and sounds like this is the perfect setup for you. Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻

You’re welcome 🙏🏻

Good question… I’ve found it was a bit of a niche subject which is what made me want to demonstrate it in this video..

Awesome! Thanks for commenting and subscribing! Pleased to hear it helped. 🙏🏻

Thank you! Yeah, I know what you mean about moving the markers instead of the playhead in the upper Cut page timeline so you're not alone! Mainly this happens if the marker is still "selected", such as just after you've added it. You'll see this is the case if the marker has a thick border around it... Clicking away from the marker deselects it, meaning it's easier to select and drag the playhead. It's still fiddly though, so if I was you, just click the top of the timeline to move the playhead away from the marker to drag it. HTH!

Honestly, you're not the only one! It took me a while to work this out for myself too. Glad to hear it's helped!

Fantastic. Thanks for commenting. Much appreciated 🙏🏻

Thanks for this... I'll have to have a think about editing tips... Problem is that it's really hard to describe what's right and wrong when it comes to editing. There are no rules as such and different content calls for different editing styles. There have been projects that I've had to create an editing style for because of the way they were shot! Stay tuned!

@@Chris.Roberts one of the things that really helped me was in one of the videos you did for Black Magic you said that a fade to black transition usually denotes a change in time or a change in location. That helped me no end - probably dead obvious to you but was something I didn't know. More like that would be great - cheers 😁

@radboogie cool thanks for that. I see where you’re coming from! 👍🏻

Great question. I wanted to show the Expander to provide context for the Gate and the Compressor so you could see how each process affected the signal. Using the Gate provided for effective noise reduction for this signal which you should be able to hear, especially if you’re listening on headphones. Hope this helps and thanks for commenting! 🙏🏻

Yes, it's a little quirky I agree... I usually just media manage into the same folder. I guess keeping the source media folders on one level as much as possible might help you... so long as the media all ends up in the right place everything else should be fine! 👍🏻

Hi! The Dialogue Leveler is only available as a track-based effect, so will apply to all clips on the same track. You can enable it either in the Fairlight page as I did in the video, or on the Edit page in the track inspector. HTH!

Very kind of you to say! And you're very welcome ☺️

Thank you! That's great to hear and I'll return soon!

That's very strange behaviour that I've not come across before and is not normal. Does it persist when you restart the software or are you using a custom keyboard layout?

Hey this is all in there already. In the export presets there are options for optimizing the levels for UA-cam, Netflix, EBU etc. loudness. I would recommend bouncing your audio mix down to a single track before exporting though. Using this option, you just need to create decent mix before output. HTH!

@@Chris.Roberts I will give that a try. Prior to that feature, I've seen some tutorials where an attempt is made to perform this balancing act manually using a combination of compression and limiting - I've always struggled to get that right. Thanks for the suggestion, Chris! Add - I just gave it a try with your sample material and it worked brilliantly! Of course, it's important to get the right mix and compression first, but then to have Resolve optimize the loudness to a given standard is just amazing. Thx again.

Thanks for commenting! 🙏🏻 Copy and pasting clips in the timeline... I'll add it to the list. Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏻
