I thought Davinci Colour Managed was magic until I saw what it did to Fusion titles, making them grey. Do you have a solution to that? Thanks for all your work on these videos. They’re really helpful.
Dude, I saw the title about adjustment layers and I just freaking yawned. Then I watched it and man you really showed me a timesaver. I also really like your style. And, a subscriber is born! Now, off to another one of your videos.
Thank you! You asked at the end what I'm needing to work on.... It would be audio, especially dialog when there is background noise and where multiple people are talking at different intensities. You have some videos on that and I'm still working on it. Thanks!
Recent convertee from Vegas Pro (12+ years) to DaVinci Resolve - I've spent hours on your channel to help me get up to speed on this software. Your advice, tips and tricks have been invaluable to me - thanks!! 🍻
Awesome stuff as always. Hey, instead of doing the grid overlay to match eye-lines, what if you just lowered the opacity of the top adjustment layer so you could see the position of the eyes in the clip below then adjusted position? Seems a bit easier than adding that additional grid effect and changing its parameters
Heck yeah Phillip! This is a great tip and I honestly hadn't thought of doing it that way. Much faster and simpler! Thanks for sharing. The grid is still great for layouts and horizon lines, but love this idea of roughly matching up eyelines. Solid!
At last I found this video. I was googling for like 30 minutes how to apply effect only to part of clip (frame) and this video explains this. You saved a lot of my nerve cells man, thank you.
Great vid as usual. Since you invited me to suggest future videos here I go. - Audio for UA-cam and LUFS should I be setting my Voice Over at -16 LUFS? Is there a way to do that without a plug-in? I use iZotope’s Ozone for this. - Background songs in YT videos that aren’t long enough for the video aka extending them. Anything better to do other than try and match the beats by cutting them and overlapping? - A quick way of matching (as best as possible) camera footage that’s not in LOG? - Archiving projects/databases Sorry if you’ve covered these before and I missed them.
Thanks so much! These are great ideas for future follow up videos. I do have some that might help you: ua-cam.com/video/Rp-6F8SWFSY/v-deo.html - LUFs in Fairlight -16 is great. I push my whole mix down to -15 currently and you can go up to -14 for UA-cam. Extending songs - nothing other than what you mention, Remix is an Adobe feature from Audition that just was added to premiere this year and can do this. Shot matching is for sure a topic I'll cover this year, but haven't yet. Archiving here - ua-cam.com/video/TsKwaJtQFA0/v-deo.html and more recently here - ua-cam.com/video/KtQsF-tZiYQ/v-deo.html I really appreciate you taking the time to comment with some great ideas, you aren't the only one that needs guidance in these areas so it will help a lot of people.
Props for the DVX100a as a background prop! That was such an awesome camera. I wish I still had mine on the shelf just to look at it and remember all the great times we had together.
I have never been much of an artistic" video editor. I am very basic and simple because I thought it would be too complicated. But man, you've inspired by several of your videos. Thank you seriously, I think this is going to help me to improve A LOT!
this is phenomenal . thank you for making such a concise tutorial! QUESTION: is there anyway to have a keyboard shortcut to Insert Adjustment Clip so we don't have to find it in the panel (even if it's Favorited we have to switch panels). QUESTION 2: Do you think we will ever get the ability to add motion blur to transform ON THE EDIT PAGE? thanks again
This should be one of the first 3 or 5 videos you watch about DaVinci Resolve. If you are thinking about it, use it DaVinci Resolve is incredible even on free version. If you are just starting out in editing or creating your own content; this should be one of the first 10 videos you should watch (in addition to how to use a camera etc). Super helpful guide! Adjustment Clips + Power Bins = your own stream/channel identity of cuts/transitions/fx/intros etc.
DR moved where the "Show Power Bins" option is located. You have to click the 3 dots in the upper right of your media pool. Great feature, just hard to find. Love your videos Chadwick! Fast, and awesome!
I'd love to see workflow tips. For example I create UI interface tutorial videos with talking head and screensharing plug additional assets as overlays. I find I'm cutting a lot of clips and repeating a lot of tasks manually but every time I watch one of your videos, I 🤦♀about how much time I've wasted doing things one by one. Like this video! I just one-by-one color graded a 20 min video that had over 60 clips because I didn't know about these tricks with adjustment clips. Thanks again for the amazing content!
Good stuff my man! I started Resolve at the beginning of the year to edit some video from Thailand. I really enjoyed it and it has since turned into a hobby. I think I've made some good progress since then. My goal with video editing is to keep it fun, challenging, and to try to apply a new skill with every video. I just stumbled onto your videos and think you will help me get to the next level. I didn't even know about adjustment clips, I will be practicing with these in my next video. Appreciate it!
I appreciate this feedback. I’m testing different mics out and neglected to account for that on this Octava. Please take a listen to my upcoming video I hope to post later this week to see if it’s improved.
Always quick and concise. Love it. I know I can slow it down or rewatch a section, if needed. Thank you for doing your vid’s this way. Keep doin’ the great work, Chadwick! Joe
Thank you for your content, its very helpful. Are there any indicators in the color page that tell you are working on an adjustment clip and not the actual video?
Great inspiration - thanx. Today I used it for a German Broadcast TV (WDR, Cologne). Best solution for not nice shots, works wonderful. Sorry, about my english…
Thanks for this! Could you talk about 'Better Meta Data Management' or 'Meta Data Workflow' in DR. I love editing in DR but miss how easy meta data tagging "keywording" in FCP is.
Hey, this is so on point for me, thank you. sometimes you lose me when you get into the terminology and jargon of the industry and since I'm just starting to figure this out, would you consider making a few videos illustrating some of the working language that editors should know about? just a thought for the future, thanks again RTG.
6:12 is there a way to remote grade an adjustment layer? I want to color correct 1 adjustment clip across multiple timelines, similar if if was the same video clip using remote grade.
It is so good to see you Chadwick. Thank you for sharing your power tips. Your videos really help take editing to the next level. For me, your edit page ideas like your "15 second" techniques open up new ways on how creatively think about an edit. Thank you for taking the time to make and share these videos.
Thanks Kevin, great to hear from you. I'm glad you like that 15 second cutdown trick, I remember the first time an editor, his name was Nick, showed me how he basically did that with a title or some generator that was muted and I've used it ever since.
Chadwick, I love your tutorials!! Can you please investigate why DaVinci Resolve does not have a shortcut that allows you to select multiple sections within a clip and label them as favorites at the same time…can we get something similar in resolve?? Thank you!
@@CreativeVideoTips wow. That is awesome, thank you. You are one of my all-time UA-cam favs!!! Much appreciate your videos. Can you do one for the Resolve Keyboard from Black Magic? I am going to buy one or the speed editor, and am having trouble deciding!
the adjustment layer being used to make transitions is good. As these can be nested with a sound effect or put the SFX into the fusion tab. And than put the transition into a super bin for easy reuse. I am tired of looking for SFX and applying them over and over again!
hello, as always very good video. what i wonder is how you track an object in the adjustment layer with power window? maybe you have an idea or solution, thank you very much.
Great stuff! I am new to Davinci (I love it so much more than Premiere, especially that you pay for it once and that's it), and this video helped me out tremendously. It made my editing so much easier... . Thanks a lot! Subscribed...
great tutorial thanks, any tips regarding using compound clips and audio sync ? I have footage with interviews and 4 tracks that get messy timelines. need a cleaner way to edit. butalll tracks LAVS and BOOM needed for audio online
Great, thank you for these pro tips! I love your videos! :) Right now i really have a question and need help... Maybe anybode else has also my problem? -> I can`t find a solution for my problem with "Media Management" - "Copy Used Media And Trim(...)". To save hard drive space after I finished cutting I want to keep only used media and resize them to only used parts. But if I try, I get uncompleted snippets. One used part for example is 15 seconds long but after I used the "trim function" the resized file is only 8 seconds and the rest is marked as "media offline". Maybe a bug? Don't know. But if it happend: how can I restore it back to the complete file (relink or replace the trimmed copy by the orginal whole clip)...
You are awesome bro... I have been looking to get the best video on how to use adjustment clip, and finnaly I found it Thank you so much please make a video on transitions
Great video, Chadwick! I use saved/named Adjustment Clips to punch into different areas, so that I can have a wide shot and then cut to myself, a shot just my guests or each guest individually. I also have at least one additional camera, so I use multi cam editing. What I’d love to be able to do is set up my adjustment clips as cameras and switch between them while playing through the video, the same as I do currently with the Cam 1 and Cam 2 buttons on the Speed Editor keyboard. Any tips or ideas?
I just figured out a way to do it. I created separate timelines with the adjustment clip added for each desired camera angle (Timeline-Wide, Timeline-Host, Timeline-Guests, Timeline-Guest1, etc.). Then I used these timelines to create a multicam timeline (Timelines within a timeline). I watched your video on how to convert a timeline to multicam. Thank you for the inspiration.
So this failed! When I create a multicam clip with the 6 timelines that I created, it created the multicam timeline, but when I tap [Sync] (or try to open the Sync Bin with the SE keyboard) it tells me “No synced clips”. I’ve tried syncing with Sound (it’s the same audio in each timeline) and In (I added an In point at the start of each timeline) and nothing works. Any ideas? In the past I’ve simply had the wide shot in V1 and added different adjustment clips in V2. It is SLOW :(
Great video talking and moving a little fast for beginners but very useful thank u. My opinion if u wanna teach newbies slow it down a little please some of us don’t process things faster then others
Hi. I've been editing for years. I've used DaVinci Resolve to cut a feature film, several trailers/sizzles and a documentary. I love Resolve for so many reasons, but mostly for its intuitive interface, which made it easy to get up and running on the basics when I needed to. Now, though, I'm looking to get the most out of the software. Your tutorials have been a great resource. My topic suggestion: I'd love to see a video dedicated to audio sweetening, particularly if a project has audio from multiple, unrelated sources and may be in pretty crappy condition. In particular, how does one highlight and sweeten the edited audio clips individually in Fairlight so that changes aren't made to an entire timeline or an entire source clip? On the edit page I can easily highlight any clip I want to work on and make adjustments through the Inspector, but it doesn't seem to work that way in Fairlight... Maybe this topic already has a video, in which case, thanks in advance.
A special instance of object tracking is to track a fixed object throughout a long time clip. for example, in a messy room there is a TV showing something on the screen. Both the camera and the TV set are fixed in position. how to mask the TV set and remove all the messy room surroundings？although the object tracking feature can be used in this circumstance,but it is time consuming for the fix object masking. is there any easier way which is based on objective recognization algorithm rather than the color qualifier?
Nicely done again Chadwick - I have had more than a few people ask me about using a compound clip with audio to raise and lower the clips master volume ( not the track ) with keyframes inside the audio staying in tact. Now on my system that works find, but for a few others, they lose their audio doing this. Is there another way to set master volume at clip level of a clip with keyframes in it?
Thank Jim - this is a good question, but not something I've encountered before because I've never mixed with a compound audio clip. I double check the manual though and it doesn't say there are any limitations so I'll see if I run into this issue tomorrow. You "should" be able to select a keyframed clip and then use the usual shortcuts option command plus and minus & have it hold all it's relative adjustments. You're talking about the master clip volume of the compound clip correct?
Mornin Jim, I just tested this on a few clips and I'm not seeing any issues or bugs here. I am on v18 beta build 14 on M1 Max. Nested audio keyframes, compound clip keyframes they all seem to be working as expected on my machine. Mixing or mastering a compound clip is an interesting concept. Now I'm very curious how this compares to committing it to disk with a mixdown instead.
@@CreativeVideoTips The guy I was helping had the problem. When I tested it, it worked as expected. But without the compound clip on the audio. I couldn't get mine to use a master volume either. Must be a trick to that.
Good material here...as a newly converted cutter (started migrating from Adobe - of course) it's fun. It's like discovering how to edit all over again. I like it. What's different? This software runs soooooooo much smoother and less buggy than Adobe.
Hi great content! Question: Is there a way to adjust the speed of a specific time within the project? Where no matter what clip you drop in, it will automatically adjust the speed. An example would be: inserting an adjustment clip, slowing it down, and any clip i drop under it will slow down. Thanks!
@@CreativeVideoTips Thank you! So, I can nudge the audio by sub-frames, but not the video? I will re-listen to the tute. Does Resolve have a function which recognizes and matches audio from different clips to align in the timeline? My second cameraman is recording short shots of closeups while the main camera records the entire performance. How do I line them all up?
Your videos are great. But as someone who is not a professional editor so for someone like me i would love it if you would move through the material more slowly. I would love more help creating an adjustment clip that zooms in and out - like you described but with a few more examples and a little more details on how to zoom in and out using the transform for the zoom and position options. I tried adding the adjustment clip above my main clip to zoom in and out. But somehow I added a transform keyframe because my play head was on the main clip when I set the transform but now the zoom is going past the adjustment clip track and I don't know how to find it to fix it. Also once you add an adjustment clip above your main clip you cannot access the transform effects on the main clip. Even if you wanted to do a regular key frame on another part of the clip. Then you would have to cut the clip which creates different problems. Also is there a way to fade in and out of the zoom with the adjustment clips? Another tip I would love a video on is how to link clips and still be able to add keyframes. What happens to me is that I split a clip so I have several clips that need to stay connected to the audio because it is just me talking while teaching yoga. So if I have several cuts and then work on a clip that has been cut and has other clips ahead in the time line that are cut, if I move the clip it messes up the other clips but if I link the clips then I cannot add key frames. So I have to link and unlink but sometimes I forget to link again and then I can get into trouble.
Thanks Gayle, I always appreciate hearing from you. I understand that people learn at different speeds and come from different backgrounds. I think fast and end up talking very fast when the camera is on. However, I'm not trying to leave anyone behind. Please utilize the slower playback option on youtube for now. But know that I'm taking this feedback to use it for future tutorials that are more "back to the basics" type focus. I'm not fully following your question about not accessing transforms on the main clip. You should be able to select it with your mouse and still make adjustments down there. Just know the adjustment clip on top happens after the clip level changes. You question about linked selection is a good one and I'm making a note to clarify how that works in a future tutorial. It can be confusing.
When the adjustment clip is on top of the main clip, the icon to click to reveal the keyframe points on the bottom right of the title strip for the main clip is gone but it shows up on the bottom right of the main clip. Is there a way I can send you a photo so you can see what I mean?
I'm putting a person's face on a cartoon character. The face is a black and white close-up and I want to match the skin tone of the cartoon character's body. Shadowing's not much of an issue, as it's not a detailed cartoon drawing, but I want to grab that color range from the cartoon cheek and fill in the color on the black and white portrait. It's more of a photoshop or gimp type issue with two stills, and all, but it should be an easy thing for this suite, right?
Hi Jay - Yes this is possible in resolve. I would use the black and white as a matte and then color correct the offset/master wheel until it matches. Hope that helps. It could be done in Fusion or the Color page.
Thanks Martinho, I appreciate the suggestions. I think you're right there is a big need for Fusion tips so as I'm learning that part of Resolve I'll be sharing interesting things. Color is the backbone of resolve so lots to come there - but I would like to point out 2 channels that are incredibly valuable to check out. My friend Darren here - ua-cam.com/users/DarrenMostyn and Cullen is the essential color scientist that has incredibly detailed insights - ua-cam.com/users/CullenKelly
Thanks for the tutorial! I love that you include some helpful shortcuts here and there in your videos but would it be possible to put the most important ones in one video? Would be a very clean overview.
I love this feedback so much Mathis and I think what I'll do on this next tutorial I'm editing this weekend is put them all on an end screen slide that you can screen capture. Thanks!
@@CreativeVideoTips that's a good idea, very easy to collect helpful shortcuts! Thanks a lot. Keep doing what you're doing, I appreciate your work a lot!
Hey man, love your tutorials! Some of the best resolve tutorials I’ve seen 👌 I love getting very technical with my speed ramp adjustments and using the curves in the edit page can be pretty limiting. Just wondering is there a way to use the more powerful spline tool in the fusion page for speed ramping?
I would like to know how to do a true push in/push out (Ken Burns) effect for photos where I can choose the start and end key frames. The built in Dynamic Zoom doesn’t work because it does the first and last frame of the clip.
Thanks for the tips, Chadwick. Are there benefits to applying a color grade / transform through an adjustment layer (to multiple clips) as opposed to just using grab stills / apply grade on the color page? (I never used premiere so I don't really know about any benefits to the way it uses layers for grading).
Thanks for watching :) - The main benefit is to quickly see on the edit page timeline if a section of clips have an effect or color grade on them. There is no technical difference in the image quality though. I will typically always use the stills gallery like you, use remote grades, groups, or timeline grades when I need to batch apply color. Still though - it is handy to know about.

you rock man.. a level above everyone I've seen doin DR tutorials!
You rock! Thank you for spending some of your precious time to watch and hopefully learn a new thing or two.
Thanks as always Chadwick - 5 absolute banging tips for using Adjustment Clips 🔥.
The "Cut Down" trick is a great idea 🤯.
Cheers man 🙏🏻
Happy to help Gary! Thanks as always for watching.
@@CreativeVideoTips it's a pleasure sir 👊✌
Dude, these are great. I was doing punch-ins manually by making cutting to a new clip and zooming each time. This is SO much faster.
Thank you for the tips, they were super helpful! Question though, how were you able to get your CPU usage and Wifi speeds in the menu bar?
Thanks for watching. This is an app called istat menu
@@CreativeVideoTips Cool cool! Is it on the Mac App Store or is it a website download?
6:45 "remote grades and group functionality that are topics for a future video" - Is that 'future' video now ready. I need this.
I am new to editing and this has helped so much. I appreciate it a lot.
is there a short cut to quickly add an Adjustment Clip? Very powerful tips here, thanks!
Thanks, there isn't a shortcut as far as I know.
hello, as always very good video. what i wonder is how you track an object in the adjustment layer with power window? maybe you have an idea or solution, thank you very much.
Oh my gosh! I can use adjustment clips for my YT Shorts magnification settings!! You're Amazing!
Excellent content. You’re a super effective instructor.
Loved the Whip Push! Subscribed! Will use this in my first scripted video with B-Roll!
Great stuff! I am new to Davinci (I love it so much more than Premiere, especially that you pay for it once and that's it), and this video helped me out tremendously. It made my editing so much easier... . Thanks a lot! Subscribed...
There are so much value in this video as you normally supply thank you !!! I feel like im in DaVinci school when I watch these!!
Thank you, this video will be really helpful. Greetings from Colombia
Hey Daniel! Cheers from Manhattan. Thanks for watching.
Love your work mate! A video going over advanced keyframe editing in the edit page or even how to simplify the keyframes would be great
Thanks for the idea! Noted.
This is going to save me so much time! Thank you!
That makes my day to hear that. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I am commenting to help you videos show up on the algorithm.
I used to use adjustment layer from adobe. First I used it for color grading only, but I just learned it can be used for more 💪
great tutorial thanks, any tips regarding using compound clips and audio sync ? I have footage with interviews and 4 tracks that get messy timelines. need a cleaner way to edit. butalll tracks LAVS and BOOM needed for audio online
Oktava mic for the win !
Heck yeah! I'm just getting use to it and having a lot of fun trying different mics out.
Great, thank you for these pro tips! I love your videos! :) Right now i really have a question and need help... Maybe anybode else has also my problem?
-> I can`t find a solution for my problem with "Media Management" - "Copy Used Media And Trim(...)". To save hard drive space after I finished cutting I want to keep only used media and resize them to only used parts. But if I try, I get uncompleted snippets. One used part for example is 15 seconds long but after I used the "trim function" the resized file is only 8 seconds and the rest is marked as "media offline". Maybe a bug? Don't know. But if it happend: how can I restore it back to the complete file (relink or replace the trimmed copy by the orginal whole clip)...
im on Davinci i think 3 months now
thats some GOLD tips
thanks!
You are always the best! Thanks!
You are!
You are awesome bro... I have been looking to get the best video on how to use adjustment clip, and finnaly I found it
Thank you so much
please make a video on transitions
You are awesome! Thank you so much for taking time to watch. I appreciate ya.
This was awesome! I'm new to Da Vinci Resolve, and video editing in general, this is an incredible tool I didn't know I was missing. Thank you!
Great video, Chadwick! I use saved/named Adjustment Clips to punch into different areas, so that I can have a wide shot and then cut to myself, a shot just my guests or each guest individually. I also have at least one additional camera, so I use multi cam editing. What I’d love to be able to do is set up my adjustment clips as cameras and switch between them while playing through the video, the same as I do currently with the Cam 1 and Cam 2 buttons on the Speed Editor keyboard. Any tips or ideas?
I just figured out a way to do it. I created separate timelines with the adjustment clip added for each desired camera angle (Timeline-Wide, Timeline-Host, Timeline-Guests, Timeline-Guest1, etc.). Then I used these timelines to create a multicam timeline (Timelines within a timeline). I watched your video on how to convert a timeline to multicam. Thank you for the inspiration.
So this failed! When I create a multicam clip with the 6 timelines that I created, it created the multicam timeline, but when I tap [Sync] (or try to open the Sync Bin with the SE keyboard) it tells me “No synced clips”. I’ve tried syncing with Sound (it’s the same audio in each timeline) and In (I added an In point at the start of each timeline) and nothing works. Any ideas? In the past I’ve simply had the wide shot in V1 and added different adjustment clips in V2. It is SLOW :(
Great video talking and moving a little fast for beginners but very useful thank u. My opinion if u wanna teach newbies slow it down a little please some of us don’t process things faster then others
Hi. I've been editing for years. I've used DaVinci Resolve to cut a feature film, several trailers/sizzles and a documentary. I love Resolve for so many reasons, but mostly for its intuitive interface, which made it easy to get up and running on the basics when I needed to. Now, though, I'm looking to get the most out of the software. Your tutorials have been a great resource.
My topic suggestion:
I'd love to see a video dedicated to audio sweetening, particularly if a project has audio from multiple, unrelated sources and may be in pretty crappy condition. In particular, how does one highlight and sweeten the edited audio clips individually in Fairlight so that changes aren't made to an entire timeline or an entire source clip? On the edit page I can easily highlight any clip I want to work on and make adjustments through the Inspector, but it doesn't seem to work that way in Fairlight... Maybe this topic already has a video, in which case, thanks in advance.
Love your tutorial mate! It's awesome! Subscribed!
Hey, thanks! I appreciate ya Kirk.
These tips are golden.
A special instance of object tracking is to track a fixed object throughout a long time clip. for example, in a messy room there is a TV showing something on the screen. Both the camera and the TV set are fixed in position. how to mask the TV set and remove all the messy room surroundings？although the object tracking feature can be used in this circumstance,but it is time consuming for the fix object masking. is there any easier way which is based on objective recognization algorithm rather than the color qualifier?
Nicely done again Chadwick - I have had more than a few people ask me about using a compound clip with audio to raise and lower the clips master volume ( not the track ) with keyframes inside the audio staying in tact. Now on my system that works find, but for a few others, they lose their audio doing this. Is there another way to set master volume at clip level of a clip with keyframes in it?
Thank Jim - this is a good question, but not something I've encountered before because I've never mixed with a compound audio clip. I double check the manual though and it doesn't say there are any limitations so I'll see if I run into this issue tomorrow. You "should" be able to select a keyframed clip and then use the usual shortcuts option command plus and minus & have it hold all it's relative adjustments. You're talking about the master clip volume of the compound clip correct?
@@CreativeVideoTips yes
Mornin Jim, I just tested this on a few clips and I'm not seeing any issues or bugs here. I am on v18 beta build 14 on M1 Max. Nested audio keyframes, compound clip keyframes they all seem to be working as expected on my machine. Mixing or mastering a compound clip is an interesting concept. Now I'm very curious how this compares to committing it to disk with a mixdown instead.
@@CreativeVideoTips The guy I was helping had the problem. When I tested it, it worked as expected. But without the compound clip on the audio. I couldn't get mine to use a master volume either. Must be a trick to that.
Love the videos! Question: In my view dropdown in Resolve 18 there isn't an option to show Power Bins. Am I missing something?
Good material here...as a newly converted cutter (started migrating from Adobe - of course) it's fun. It's like discovering how to edit all over again. I like it. What's different? This software runs soooooooo much smoother and less buggy than Adobe.
Tips I didn't know I needed (yet!) Thanks
I'll Def be watching several of your videos. Top tier.
Great tips, thank you! Nice canon pro-100 chillen in the corner
Hi great content! Question: Is there a way to adjust the speed of a specific time within the project? Where no matter what clip you drop in, it will automatically adjust the speed. An example would be: inserting an adjustment clip, slowing it down, and any clip i drop under it will slow down. Thanks!
Thank you! new subscriber, and very green. Music Videos. Obviously all video has to sync to the music master. So, sub-frame moves?
ua-cam.com/video/SGlnSuJ_M3s/v-deo.html
@@CreativeVideoTips Thank you! So, I can nudge the audio by sub-frames, but not the video? I will re-listen to the tute. Does Resolve have a function which recognizes and matches audio from different clips to align in the timeline? My second cameraman is recording short shots of closeups while the main camera records the entire performance. How do I line them all up?
Your videos are great. But as someone who is not a professional editor so for someone like me i would love it if you would move through the material more slowly.
I would love more help creating an adjustment clip that zooms in and out - like you described but with a few more examples and a little more details on how to zoom in and out using the transform for the zoom and position options.
I tried adding the adjustment clip above my main clip to zoom in and out. But somehow I added a transform keyframe because my play head was on the main clip when I set the transform but now the zoom is going past the adjustment clip track and I don't know how to find it to fix it.
Also once you add an adjustment clip above your main clip you cannot access the transform effects on the main clip. Even if you wanted to do a regular key frame on another part of the clip. Then you would have to cut the clip which creates different problems.
Also is there a way to fade in and out of the zoom with the adjustment clips?
Another tip I would love a video on is how to link clips and still be able to add keyframes. What happens to me is that I split a clip so I have several clips that need to stay connected to the audio because it is just me talking while teaching yoga. So if I have several cuts and then work on a clip that has been cut and has other clips ahead in the time line that are cut, if I move the clip it messes up the other clips but if I link the clips then I cannot add key frames. So I have to link and unlink but sometimes I forget to link again and then I can get into trouble.
You can watch it in slow-mow or 100 times if you want. No need to ¨move to the material more slowly¨ I guess.
Thanks Gayle, I always appreciate hearing from you. I understand that people learn at different speeds and come from different backgrounds. I think fast and end up talking very fast when the camera is on. However, I'm not trying to leave anyone behind. Please utilize the slower playback option on youtube for now. But know that I'm taking this feedback to use it for future tutorials that are more "back to the basics" type focus.
I'm not fully following your question about not accessing transforms on the main clip. You should be able to select it with your mouse and still make adjustments down there. Just know the adjustment clip on top happens after the clip level changes.
You question about linked selection is a good one and I'm making a note to clarify how that works in a future tutorial. It can be confusing.
When the adjustment clip is on top of the main clip, the icon to click to reveal the keyframe points on the bottom right of the title strip for the main clip is gone but it shows up on the bottom right of the main clip. Is there a way I can send you a photo so you can see what I mean?
I'm putting a person's face on a cartoon character. The face is a black and white close-up and I want to match the skin tone of the cartoon character's body. Shadowing's not much of an issue, as it's not a detailed cartoon drawing, but I want to grab that color range from the cartoon cheek and fill in the color on the black and white portrait. It's more of a photoshop or gimp type issue with two stills, and all, but it should be an easy thing for this suite, right?
Hi Jay - Yes this is possible in resolve. I would use the black and white as a matte and then color correct the offset/master wheel until it matches. Hope that helps. It could be done in Fusion or the Color page.
Awesome tips. I like the pacing. I'd love to see more Fusions tutorials to replace After Effects and more Color Grading tips.
Thanks Martinho, I appreciate the suggestions. I think you're right there is a big need for Fusion tips so as I'm learning that part of Resolve I'll be sharing interesting things. Color is the backbone of resolve so lots to come there - but I would like to point out 2 channels that are incredibly valuable to check out.

for the continuous push you can just toggle on dynamic zoom as well instead of setting key frames.
That's a great tip too! Thanks Rath. I always tend to forget that is built into every clip as an option.
Thanks for the tutorial! I love that you include some helpful shortcuts here and there in your videos but would it be possible to put the most important ones in one video? Would be a very clean overview.
I love this feedback so much Mathis and I think what I'll do on this next tutorial I'm editing this weekend is put them all on an end screen slide that you can screen capture. Thanks!
@@CreativeVideoTips that's a good idea, very easy to collect helpful shortcuts! Thanks a lot. Keep doing what you're doing, I appreciate your work a lot!
Hey man, love your tutorials! Some of the best resolve tutorials I’ve seen 👌 I love getting very technical with my speed ramp adjustments and using the curves in the edit page can be pretty limiting. Just wondering is there a way to use the more powerful spline tool in the fusion page for speed ramping?
Would love to know that too!
wow, so useful tips. Thank you so much.
Most welcome 😊
I would like to know how to do a true push in/push out (Ken Burns) effect for photos where I can choose the start and end key frames. The built in Dynamic Zoom doesn’t work because it does the first and last frame of the clip.
This video was an instant reason to subscribe. Great tips!!!
Great tutorial, very usefull and the lenght of your videos are just perfect. Short to the point and clear. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the helpful feedback Peter (and thanks so much for watching).
Thanks for the tips, Chadwick. Are there benefits to applying a color grade / transform through an adjustment layer (to multiple clips) as opposed to just using grab stills / apply grade on the color page? (I never used premiere so I don't really know about any benefits to the way it uses layers for grading).
Thanks for watching :) - The main benefit is to quickly see on the edit page timeline if a section of clips have an effect or color grade on them. There is no technical difference in the image quality though. I will typically always use the stills gallery like you, use remote grades, groups, or timeline grades when I need to batch apply color.
Still though - it is handy to know about.
