What do you think of the Stacked Timeline feature in Davinci Resolve? Useful or not? Having used another NLE in the past this feature was very familiar and definitely helped me on larger projects where I needed to copy multiple clips and sections of other timelines to a new timeline. Let me know what you think.
Stacked timelines are a visually satisfying alternative to dragging media from your bins, whether project-level, smart, or power. I can see myself setting up dedicated "media timelines" which could have oft-used Fusion comps, titles, SFX, etc. It's another way to do something we're used to with bins, but in a more efficient way, yeah?
Thanks, Alex!
i tried this, and does not work as informed.
I just learned about stacked timelines yesterday and I’m so glad I stumbled upon this video because the dual screen monitor is insane and even better. Thank you!!!
I'm terrible at arranging my multiple shoot formats from various platforms... totally unorganised in that respect when I go on holiday with an iPhone / gimbal... DJI Drone, DJI OP3, Insta360 X4...etc etc... hahaha. I come back with an absolute nightmare of files I have to untangle and make some sort of sense of.
This tutorial is GOLD! Thank you so much! It's a reference point I keep coming back to when I need to work with multiple edits in various frame rates in Resolve.
🙏🙌🙌
Such a brilliant simple explanation of a hard to grasp skill. The way you laid it out helped me big time. Much love bro!
Congrats on passing 10K Alex, well 12K now!!! Great content! See you soon!! Darren.
Domo arigato , Sensei! Can’t wait to catch up soon. Oh…and just the small matter of you passing 100k!! Massive congrats again!! 🎉🥳
Appreciated! Been quite a journey!! Look forward to a catch up on zoom soon ! Long overdue my friend!@@AlexCameron-Depiqd
I knew about the tab timeline option but had no idea about the actual stacked button! Thank you!
great videos can you export both at the sametimes?
Brilliant! Thank you. I am a fan of Dual Screen for other work, and your hints were very timely.
Perfect timing, I really needed this info. Thanks Subscribed
This is a game changer! Thanks.
Great vieeo. I have a question. How do I place a clip from timeline A to wherever I want on timeline B and NOT to to the end of timeline B?
My eyes literally widened when I saw that you can open as many you need. This will come in really handy the way I edit. Thanks for the lesson and subbed!
I'm so glad! Thanks very much for watching and subscribing.
Yet another just about hidden feature! I think this can be very helpful when sorting clips to decide which to use. More user friendly I think that viewing source and having everything in the little chopped up timeline below the viewing screen, if I worded that at all correctly. Thank you Alex! I go to your videos for lots of questions.
Yeah it is a little hidden I guess but hopefully that's where I can continue to help answer those type of questions! 😉 Thanks so much for supporting the channel!
decompose compound clips in edit menu then toggle source record timelines with shift page up - way faster method
Nice video thanks.
I wondered if you would be able to do a video on iPhone 14 Pro 10 bit HLG footage (which seems to be used a lot) in DaVinci when mixing it with SDR footage. There are a few video done on this but they tend to be all different and I can't find one that mixes HDR and SDR in the same project.
I have never tried multiple timelines, but after watching your guide, I'll certainly have a go it it. I usually open up a separate project for each, which is very time consuming. Thanks for the great explanation, Alex
Thanks for those kinds words Steve! You should absolutely give it a go though as switching projects, although not slow, is going to be chewing up valuable seconds over the option of multiple timelines and using stacked timelines.
Thank you. I knew about this but you clarified a couple things for efficiency. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Note that if you work in the Cloud (Balckmagic Cloud), for some reason, drag and drop between stacked timelines DON'T work... Only copy-paste works. Not sure if it's a bug... but it drove me crazy for long time before I figured out so I thought I'd share.
Sure wished I would have known this a couple months ago.. Thanks for the video
Brilliant! Productivity now > 1000%
Hi Alex, Very good tutorial. I noticed that all the audio is on one track (see 6 min point) Is there a way to do this via a function or have you moved the sound clips manually?
One can get into trouble moving combined video & audio clips around. They can overwrite separately recorded audio tracks.
Cool. Thanks for the info. I wish you would have shown how to insert in between frames after copying and dragging. Having a hard time with that. All related videos I've seen so far just append to the end.
Very nice! This one might be just what I need. I'm a beginner with DR and decent editing overall, and I think pulling together to a principal timeline using 2 or 3 different perspectives from my 360 camera as well as from my action camera and dslr with this stacking method will alleviate a lot of pain and condense workflow immensely. Thanks, subbing while I wait for my proxies, also learned from your videos.
Glad it was helpful! I really hope it improves your workflow which sounds crazy with all that footage going on. Appreciate you watching, commenting and subbing!! 👍🏻
Thanks. Looking forward to fusion section for beginner.
Thank you for watching the video. I need to do some new Fusion videos but I did do one just for beginners a while ago - ua-cam.com/video/MiYalE5xtwc/v-deo.html might be worth a look in the meantime! 👍🏻
Orange teal grading at it`s best ! 😄👍
i tried this, and does not work as informed.
so one time line with multiple video track, base track for raw footage, second track for first pass, third track for final select.
Second timeline to do the final timeline, audio already put, as video being edited to naration playing.
Yet, everytime I cut the clip from select timeline of third video track and paste to final timeline the clip pasted is the normal media, unclipped just start from beginning.
clipped the vide with "split clip".

I just subscribed to your channel. Although there are many good Davinci tutorials, when I saw yours I was struck by the high production value of your visuals, including the perfect lighting and skin tones of yourself. Your glasses don't reflect light, and the set is perfectly lit. This tells me you know a thing or two about film production, which is a plus. Also, the way you magnify your cursor and also that you are explaining what you are doing as you go is a big plus. It's the little things that add up to high quality.
May I make one small suggestion? Would you pause just a millisecond longer over icons and explain while you are on them what they are capable of doing? Too many instructors just say "click this", but I want to know what the icon is called technically, what it can do in Davinci and most importantly WHY do I click it. Again, just a suggestion that will take you to the next level. Thanks.
I am working on a feature over an hour long. I want to have each scene as separate timelines, 45 scenes in total. Then bring them into a master timeline to the delivery page. I would like to save creating the overall look in the colour page to the final master timeline. The issue is can you have that much control over the media in the timelines in a master timeline. Also the timelines in the master only have a stereo channel, I did seethe guy on creative video do a video on opening up the timelines in the master channel. any advice
Not necessarily efficient, I used to use it in Premiere where you could set the first timeline in the source monitor which is a lot quicker to move clips around to the second timeline, now Resolve doesn't have this feature, I feel it's quicker to duplicate your timeline and delete whatever you don't need.
Appreciate that point of view. Did you know that you can open a timeline in the Source viewer and then edit sections of it down into a different open timeline? That sounds pretty similar to the workflow your mentioning.
@@AlexCameron-Depiqd Yes, you can do that, but you won't physically see the entire timeline as you youseft did in the past
Yes, we still need an option to be able to IN and OUT then insert this segment from timeline 1 (source) to timeline 2 (editing sequence) to have a fully efficient process.
Subscribed!
Appreciated! 🤗
is this available in free version too ?
I find the stacked timelines feature useless as it currently is, but the tabbed timelines should be on by default. It's absolutely absurd that I need to turn this on every time I create a new project. They also absolutely need to make everything dockable so we can arrange windows how we want across multiple monitors. Their dual screen view is absolutely worthless the way it is arranged.
Thanks Alex. Presumably when it come time time render out the final job, you get the option which timeline to use?
Yes absolutely! You can choose whatever timeline you’d like to render out from within the deliver page. Simply click on the drop-down above the viewer on the delivery page (just like the one above the Program viewer on the Edit page) and select your preferred timeline and then render that out. You can also queue up multiple timelines with different settings or one timeline with multiple settings in the render queue.
Congrats on your milestones, that's awesome! This video truly was helpful in explaining & I think I should be able to follow along with it to try this out for some quicker editing of my own. Thank you for making this video, you've gained a new sub ~ here's to 13k! ☮& ♥~ SmilingOma333 🙂
It seems to me that Resolve used to work differently - the stacked timeling on the right by itself is not very obvious. I wonder what the thought process was to put it there. It seems to me that I used to use stacked timelines with dynamic project switching and had timelines that I had previously opened when dynamic switch was on. I just tried it and I had to copy and paste the timeline to get it to work. I remember years ago making a showreel for a band, that had me dragging and dropping clips from old projects to build a master show reel. Seems like it was more obvious than it is now to do. I think the dynamic switching is something that a lot of people are unaware of these days.
I think it's on the right intentionally, resolve likes to hide the tabs under a menu so it doesn't clutter up the ui, pushing it all the way to the right works in the ui sence to hide pancakes unless the user intentionally wants it,
Regarding that dynamic switching change it might have been done to lower the memory requirements of dynamic project switching & probably no body used it for that functionality 😅(I personally don't remember a time that was possible with dynamic project switching tho)
I know what you mean Jim. It does sort of feel like a ‘blink and you’ll miss it type deal’ which is why I felt it might help some people to know about it. I don’t think I can recall using this feature any differently but I’ve definitely used Dynamic Project switching all the time and might also be a good topic for a quick video. Thanks as always for your support and incredible insight!!
Only me stuck on his eyes? They look unreal 👁👁
Thank you 😊! They are naturally very blue but something about UA-cam just brings out the colour…that and the saturation slider! 😂 Not too distracting I hope! Thanks for watching.
😻 Promo'SM
sir, that is NOT "pretty straightforward" lol
but yes, thank you so much for helping me with this :)
That cheesy slideshow and music was really jarring compared to your quality on camera intro.
video so long for no reason
in my case when i switch between pancake timelines up and down - the playhead and clip scale/scrollling on timeline always shifts and make it impossible to track from where to where i drag/copy things.... is there something i am missing?
