    A full cheat sheet with every single Ease In, Ease Out and Ease In/Out is the goal! Hopefully i'll make it happen and you guys can use them for whatever you want sometime in the near future 🙂
    Also, I totally forgot to explain something really important!! Keyframes will work using the Keyframe stretcher HOWEVER, I found it to be a little janky/temperamental at times and didn't feel like it was the best solution for really dynamic transitions which is why I decided not to use them, and to go down this path instead. 🙂👍

      @IansStudioStockport 4 роки тому

      Could you do a tutorial on the keyframe stretcher at some point? This is the first I've heard of it. I agree expressions appear to be the better way to do this but - there are times when I need to change the length of a clip with keyframes and I have sometimes lost the will to live moving all the keyframes one by one. I wonder if the stretcher might be the solution?

    many,many thanks to you MrAlex Tech. I've seen other people use expressions in davinci resolve and it's always been interesting but when I ask to get further knowledge on it they don't go in depth or can't really refer me to sources for further reading. So I thank you for all that you are doing in the area of expressions.

    oooooooooooooh ALEX, yes, many of us CARE about expressions and how they work! 😁 Your videos are great.
    There are TONS of great basic tutorials (like yours).
    I personally learned so many things from very technical Fusion tutorials (from vito - "con-fusion" and Simon Ubsdell to name a few who can be very technical).
    Even without understanding the majority of their content, seeing how they think, how they use "basic" fusion tools, *how they organize the nodes flow (or the weird ones, like the boolean tool)* helped me immensely to comprehend the rest of the (relatively) easier tools/concepts, and most important, showed me that you can do anything with Fusion.
    The mind is a powerful thing. Putting pieces together and figuring things out even if you don't understand the whole picture. I think it's great to have all the answers available, but it's more exciting to see something you don't really understand completely (like an animation driven by an expression) then having this moment when you understand how it works. The sense of achievement is greater, and you memorize better what you just learned.

  • @tidatida4145
    @tidatida4145 4 роки тому +2

    Hi Alex, to simplify your equations for fast, medium, slow "IN and Out"-transition please try to use the following simple math formula: y = 1/(1+10^(a*(0.5-x))) with either a=10, 6 or 4. This should give you a very simple formula with only one value to change for speeding up or down transition !!! If you would change 0.5 value then the timing of inflection point would change and this gives you an additional option, whether transition comes earlier or later to the left/right clip position.
    You should be able to abandon the "if clause" and create an easy set for low, medium and high feeling of changes....

    Hi Alex, Thanks a zillion for all the wonderful tutorials. Been binge watching almost all your vids. Have noticed that most of the effects that you put out are for the Resolve 16.2 version. Am currently still on the 16.1 version which is working fine on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019 model, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3, Gfx - Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 1536 MB). Looking out for advice on if i should update to 16.2 or will it totally hamper Fusion from working on my system; currently some bit of work on Fusion is still possible.

    I really love your videos. Short (also these longer ones still feel short!!), on the point and full of highly valuable information. Thanks to you I got into DaVinci Reolve.
    Therefore, I was wondering, whether it would be possible for you to make a video on the look of videos? Of course the camera has a massive impact on good looking footage, but for whatever reason others create great footage with lower quality cameras and make it look great. Why and how do they do that? My stuff always looks like shitty video, instead of smooth, well coloured film.
    Another thing that I'd very much appreciate a video about from you, would be your thought process for editing in general. Which techniques (e.g. fast editing to evoke a feeling of stress and hectic) do you use for which reasons?

    Hi, I am barely starting with DaVinci editing, transitions, etc. Quick question, though, isn't it easier to use keyframes and just editing the curving or movement with splines?
    Or why would anyone want to use the codes and math behind all of this? I found it interesting, just a tad bit tedious. I loved the video.

    • @MrAlexTech
      @MrAlexTech  4 роки тому +1

      Hey. In a nutshell yes BUT keyframes are generally static so they don't scale well. You can use the keyframe stretcher in Resolve but it can be janky sometimes so I wanted a different solution.
      For example If I made a transition at 24fps using keyframes, it wouldn't work at 60fps because the keyframes would all be in the wrong place. Also I wouldn't be lengthen or shorten it. So if I'm making a transition pack, I'd need to retime all of them for all the popular frame rates.
      With this method, whatever I make will work on any frame rate and is completely scalable 🙂

      In this expression the max blur applied in the middle of the composition is 0.5. If you want apply more blur just simply increase the last multiplier. Reduce if you you want apply less blur.
