NOTE: 11:20 Stacked Transitions - You HAVE to use Fusion Transitions (scroll down in the Transitions list within Effects Library!). The Regular Transitions cause a weird bug in Resolve where it makes the preview window black. I wasn't aware of this at the time as always used Fusion Transitions (or my own free to download ones!). Thanks for those that mentioned it in the comments 🙂👍
The last one with the combined transitions was a great idea. 😃👍🏽 But one downside on compound clips I realized was the increased workload on the hardware. As I made a compound clip with 10 layers of only PNGs my system died. Having the same clips without compounding them, it works.
On of the most useful time saving workflow videos ever. Love your content. I share it all the time. If you could create multiple types of compounds to speed you and your editor up, how could you prevent the edit files from having to be relinked each time. Tried a Dropbox workflow to share assets. Make clump outs clip shortcuts for template project. But files break Due to different download paths. How would you work to share edit assets to speed you and your editor. Using same assets. A library of compound shortcuts that can be shared and added to without breaking or making clips go offline. I know nobody pulled my string but I always will shoot my shot lol. Keep it coming bro !
MrAlexTech you read my mind. I was just searching yesterday for information on compound clips, and your tutorial has expanded that knowledge and given me new creativity tips. Thanks so much!
Wow. Just starting with DVR. So many fantastic things it can do so easily. Your vids are so useful. Lots of rewinding and pausing, but so worth the effort. Thanks MrAlexTech
I've been using them, but I didn't know you could open them up and make changes. I've been duplicating my tracks first I need to revert, so this is very helpful and more efficient.
Well, I'm chuffed that you got to 100K - you worked hard for that, but it looks like it was fun. Compound clips could be saved by making the project as a template. Then you start every project by opening "template" and rename it straight away.
Thank You Thank You Thank You - I'm new to Davinci Resolve and this explanation of compound clips is fantastic. Its😀 going to allow me to do some interesting things far more quickly whilst staying organized!!! LOVE IT
Hi Alex, they may not add the option to save compound clips to power bins, since if you open one in a new timeline, you are able to save it as a standalone project and use it that way. Love your videos - you make me look amateur. Keep it up please
HA HA HA, really glad I watched it through to the end… and didn’t embarrass myself by bringing up the power bin limitation - which is a major gripe of mine… this would be immensely useful. Once more, great video Alex, mahalo.
Bloody marvellous!!! Definetly use it in my projects going forward. Such a great way of keeping projects clean and less chance of messing things up. THANKS ALEX!
I'm making my new GTA garage tour video where each garage has 21 titles. Last year, it was a right 'mare, keeping everything together. I had no idea I could just compound each garage when done then easily re-arrange stuff! You are a star and gratz on the 100K subs!
Whoa. You just made my left so much easier! All this time when I wanted to edit something in my compound clip, I was doing the decompose in place! Always an easier way. Thank you for continuing to come in clutch!
Hi Alex, You are my go to on Davinci Resolve, always have been...THANKS! Question...you had a video out some time ago on Q and W clip trimming. DR 18 messed this up for me and now I have to recreate the shortcut and can't remember how. Your how to vids have always been GREAT step by step and at just the right speed to follow along...I can not find this video anywhere...I'm 100% it was you, ok, maybe 98%, 95% for sure! can you point me in the right direction? Once again thanks for all you do...it really does make a difference!!
Wow - this was unbelievably helpful Alex...thanks so much man 🙏🏻. I had no idea you could go back into a compound clip to re-edit it 🤯 So many cool uses here man - thanks so much 🙏🏻
Thanks. I didn't realise that breadcrumbs type project navigation in the bottom left of timeline, that is helpful. There is one extremely important thing missing in this video, which is surely worth adding (unless I skipped past this)... a shortcut to 'open in timeline'. I am unsure if there is any native shortcut or quick way I'm missing (because right click > open in timeline every time is a huge deal breaker) - I have just set it to ctrl+alt+T.
Thank you!!! The borders or Polaroid effect will improve the look when I share photos in my photography vlog. I’ve been struggling to find a fast and easy way to add borders, and this is drop-dead easy! 😁😁😁
Wow. Another brilliant set of tips and tricks. That one at the end using multiple Compound clips to create a multi-effect transition was the BOMB! I have got to use that! Thanks so much. P.S. And YES, please let us add these to our Power Bins.
Another awesome tutorial Alex! Every video I make is a little better than the last... why? Because I watch your videos and pick up new tips and ideas before I start editing each new project! Keep up the great work mate. Cheers, Nick
I'm currently learning DaVinci after having spent 12 years in Adobe Premiere/After Effects. So the translation is just that Nested Clips in Adobe are the equivalent of Compound Clips here in DaVinci
So you’re telling me instead of having multiple assets, stacked on top of each other each time I want to make or adjust a logo I can use this… Hell yeah awesome video
I started using compound clips today and it's literally the best thing I have done till now in my edits, My timeline is neat, I was working on something where I had to put 8 tracks of titles like a stack, I did that converted into compound clip and boom!
I started using compound clips a while ago, but only realised yesterday while playing around in an edit the beauty of them. Had NO clue about stacking the transitions though!!! It's a good reminder to keep your learning hat on, even when you think you know something 😁
I've had similar issues with clips that are the wrong type, e.g. a mono clip with a 7.1 track. So, if you haven't already, check that the audio is the same on the original file, in the compound clip, and on the track it's on on the timeline you're using.
Awesome video! I use compound clips but your tutorial vastly expanded what I was doing with them. Unless I’m wrong, the other downside of compound clips is losing transparency. Example, if I have clips sliding in, make it a compound clip, instead of placing the compound clip above other media in the timeline (showing the footage below the compound clip) you only see black. Maybe I’ve missed the solution, but did google the issue and couldn’t find anything. Keep up the great work and congrats again on this growing channel :)
Hey! Thank you :) Someone else mentioned that but I'm wondering if it was an older bug in 17 as transparency seems to be totally fine in 18! I've done some other quick tests and all seems to be working :)
@@MrAlexTech This is great news! I’m stuck in 17 until I finish my current project (not tempting the editing god with changing over). There are lot of things that have me excited about 18, this news just adds to the list!
@@AnotherBrightIdea Ohh hang on, I might be wrong here ha! Are you talking about when specifically using Transitions within Compound clips?! As just tested and THAT does still seem to be an issue. I actually don't use Transitions often within compounds. I generally use the transitions ON the compound itself, rather than inside it.
@@MrAlexTech oh well. No biggie. Davinci Resolve is so much better than anything else I’ve used, including Premiere Pro, more than happy to work around the small things :) thanks for checking!

It's time we get to see compound clips in Power Bins... 🥺 By the way Heartiest Congratulation on 100k ☺👍🏻
Ragazzo! If I had found this video earlier it could have save me the last 5 days of animations and titling
The last one with the combined transitions was a great idea. 😃👍🏽 But one downside on compound clips I realized was the increased workload on the hardware. As I made a compound clip with 10 layers of only PNGs my system died. Having the same clips without compounding them, it works.
use render cache, mralextech has a video on that
Ik 😢 to preview my footage with smooth playback I had to disable the track that has all my compound clips.
12:26 - 100% agree this would be awesome to have in the power bins. Loads of great tips there, thank you Alex !
game changer!

Ive been editing with davinci for a year and man how did i not use this before! You are amazing bro!!
Fantastic and clear video, thank you so much for sharing!
I got suffering with After Effect but thank god, i can leave in peace now!!! Thanks for sharing bro!
The examples were FAST! I wanted to give you ideas and whiz through the steps. If it was TOO fast, let me know down below 🙂👍
I had to re watch a couple, but that's fine with me. Great tutorial. Thanks!
MrAlexTech you read my mind. I was just searching yesterday for information on compound clips, and your tutorial has expanded that knowledge and given me new creativity tips. Thanks so much!
Thanks, Alex, you're the best. I just need a compound clip for the first time (a credits page with multiple company logos) and here you are ...
Wow. Just starting with DVR. So many fantastic things it can do so easily. Your vids are so useful. Lots of rewinding and pausing, but so worth the effort. Thanks MrAlexTech

WOW, that's a lot of great ideas. So much info, so fast. Great work!
So many amazing things covered in one video…you are brilliant and my favourite when it comes to Da Vinci resolve 🤩
Bloody marvellous!
I love the clarity and pace with which you impart your knowledge - thank you
HA HA HA, really glad I watched it through to the end… and didn’t embarrass myself by bringing up the power bin limitation - which is a major gripe of mine… this would be immensely useful. Once more, great video Alex, mahalo.
Bloody marvellous!!! Definetly use it in my projects going forward. Such a great way of keeping projects clean and less chance of messing things up. THANKS ALEX!
For me the coolest thing ist the multiple transition. Thanks for sharing!!!😉
Fab Mr Alex Tech. Bringing us all up to pro level (ish) at no cost. Love it. My customers think I’m a genius.
U just jammed so much worthwhile info into that tutorial - brilliant Alex. Thx a million.
Very nice, one of those features that will save me a lot of hassle that I had never bothered to learn about.
Many, many thanks.
this is exactly what I needed, its like smart objects in photoshop
Very very big thank you, Alex.
VERY COOL !! I will be using this today!
I'm making my new GTA garage tour video where each garage has 21 titles. Last year, it was a right 'mare, keeping everything together. I had no idea I could just compound each garage when done then easily re-arrange stuff! You are a star and gratz on the 100K subs!
Another great one! You answered my question at the end of how good it would be use in a power bin as an intro clip for example. Keep them coming.....
I love using compound clips to keep my timeline looking sharp.
Great tip with the layering of the transitions 👌🏻💡
Pretty sure you this just solved a whole bunch of problems I’ve been having trying to recreate the way I do a few things in Premiere.
Whoa. You just made my left so much easier! All this time when I wanted to edit something in my compound clip, I was doing the decompose in place! Always an easier way. Thank you for continuing to come in clutch!
Brilliant as always! Thank you for helping me skilling up and congratulations on a well-deserved 100k!! 🎉
this was so useful. I cant believe this was not taught to me in the course I purchased from another youtuber.
Excellent! Thank you for the tips and ideas!
Wow I have used compound clips before but didn’t know about most of the things in this vid. Thank you!!!
ALWAYS LOVED TO WATCH UR CONTENT 💕
Hey Alex great video would love to see a video on expressions within the text box how to use them like..."following" "animate" etc
Every day is a school day! Opening Compound Clips in a new timeline! #Swoon!
Brandon from Creator People sent me here to learn more about DaVinci. Wow! So many helpful videos. Thank you so much!
many thanks Mr Alex, I'm learning so much from your video's, find you really easy to follow.
Thanks for the very informative video. I think compound clips will make my workflow much easier!
I have read that nested timelines can be a bit flaky in certain situations. It looks like compound clips are the best way of handling larger projects.
Hi Alex, You are my go to on Davinci Resolve, always have been...THANKS! Question...you had a video out some time ago on Q and W clip trimming.

Wow - this was unbelievably helpful Alex...thanks so much man 🙏🏻.
I had no idea you could go back into a compound clip to re-edit it 🤯
So many cool uses here man - thanks so much 🙏🏻
How do you do it? Can you tell, please? When I right-click a compound I don't have "Open in Timeline"
Excellent info, as always. You are definitely one of my goto Davinci people. I appreciate you. 🙏🏼
I always wonder how to mix multiple transitions together to give it my "own".... now I know, thanks!
Woah nested transitions were next level!!
Dude you rock! Congrats on hitting 100k subs!
oooh stacked transitions, very smart, very smart, thank you
MrAlex again with the time-saving tips! Thanx bro 🙏🏼
This is exactly what I just needed, thanks MrAlextech, 👍
Thanks a lot for the help!

This channel should have at least 1M subs.

Thanks once again and congrats for 100k subs.
cool thanks will take a look at this in my next project
Bloody Marvelous indeed 👏👏
😊
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you Alex. 😉👍🏻

Nice vid mate. Thank you 👍
If you do a timeline with just the footage you want, you could quick export it to .264 and then add that to your power bins.
Great video. I will be using Compound Clips from now on. 😀
Fantástica explicación, como siempre. Gracias

Stacked transitions got me, thanks a lot :)

Hey Alex great video and tips also glad you mentioned these scammers they nearly caught me out in another channel. Thanks again .
Good one!!!
Thx alot , I learnt so much things about da vinci from this not just the about Compound clips Xd
very impressive tutorial, thanks very much!
Massive Luv .... Glad I took the time to get caught up on videos. This is going to make life soooooo much easier
It’s fantastic! Thank you so much!
thank you MR Alex
Great tutorials. I’m ready to try this technique
Thank you
😀👍
Yo Squarespace is the sponsor now. The come up has happened. Congrats Alex. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great "handles" tio. Thanks
Another great video, you are killing it.
Looks like it's kinda like a merge node but in the timeline.
Thank you so much!
Do you have audio issues with nested / compound clips? For me audio sometimes cracks, sometimes plays weird... on Beta 18...
I've had similar issues with clips that are the wrong type, e.g. a mono clip with a 7.1 track. So, if you haven't already, check that the audio is the same on the original file, in the compound clip, and on the track it's on on the timeline you're using.
Excellent tutorial!
great tricks to know!!! thank you !!!!
