Can someone help me out? I'm editing a podcast horizontaly but when I change to vertical resolution so I can make clips of it at the moment I want to resize the videos they crop, is there any solution to this issue?
@@Prodigy1309 What I would look at first would probably be in your Project Settings > Image Scaling window. Depending on what kind of cropping you’re talking about, you’ll likely want to change your scaling options to Scale Image to Fit or Fill. If that doesn’t solve the issue, let me know.
I'm doing the Clone, but get an error. Txt files do not elaborate much. There's just squiggly red lines under some of the files. The files are Sony FX3 UHD. Any thoughts?
Yup, the .txt report in the Destination folder. Is there a detailed report in Resolve? I’m totally new to the program so I’m kind of a babe in the woods.
@@Slabysz To my knowledge, there isn’t a specific detailed report on any copies/transcodes with the Media Management window or the Clone Tool. When the copy was running, did it show any unusual behavior or finish way too quickly?
I have been trying this with a couple of different logos for a clinic i work for. I've followed pretty much every step (except the stransform node, because the VectorSnapshot script didn't affect the dimensions, and brightness/contrast, because the text is white), but i am still having difficulty getting the same final product as you are. I require assistance!
@@CameraTim a lot of it has to do with the images being different resolutions. i know this doesn't help, but it's hard to explain via text. i've been trying to figure out different methods all day. i'd be happy with sending the project and getting some insight.
@@CameraTim ok, so I have two different logo files that i combined into one logo in PS and exported as a PNG, making sure the entire background was transparent. even with pre-divide/post-multiply on, there is something strange going on with the background. it's as if only one of the incorporated logos has a transparent background. been trying multiple methods, even going back to just doing a 2D edge glow/trace effect.
@@demockracy84 Gotcha, if you want to send the files to me, you can send them to my business email (in the description) and I can check them out when I’m able. As far as the Photoshop file goes, you probably don’t have to export that file because Fusion can import PSD files directly with all the layers. But yeah, if any part of those layers doesn’t have alpha, that could mess up the processes. You could try the Luma Keyer method, although not ideal, if you can’t remove the background in one of your assets, but I’d imagine that would be better to do in PS directly.
@@bobmusikk Yeah, not sure why it doesn’t add a .drp file, but I’m assuming it’s because creating a project archive from the Project Manager window already does that. Not sure though.
@@CameraTim Yeah! So I did use Media Mang. timeline so it export everything and then created a new project and imported all the timelines into it and then save the project. So I have an optimized used media only project. :) Never had any problem with this and I use it on every projects after its finished for archive.
Hey Tim! How do I know resolve is using my created proxies when I've made them using media management? They don't show the proxy symbol as if done the other way... Confused!
@@CJ2041 This is actually how I do proxies as well. So once they’re generated, you need to highlight all your media in the Media Pool, right click and select Relink Proxy Media, then select the folder you generated them in. After that, just ensure the icon near the top right of your preview window has proxies enabled, then you should see the proxy icon show up.
@@CameraTim You're a gentleman, and a scholar! 🙏 Will try this later on! Thanks for the swift reply, new sub for you! Good to know my thinking of using this method was a good idea, as you're using it too!
This has just solved a huge problem for me. There's so much dead that take up gigabytes and this is a great way to remove what you don't need without changing the workflow.
Execllent! Even create a keyframe with spotlight movement. Only I spent roughly 3hrs getting it right and now can find my work anywhere 🤨The 2D logo is still in the bin along with the composition but it's empty. Any ideas?
@CameraTim Hi, it's the actual comp. Everything else went well only once I finished and restarted, I couldn't find it. Bearing in mind that I've only been my crossover to Resolve this past week, so probably something quite simple 🤷♂️
@@take1coach Ah, did you go into Fusion on a specific clip maybe or did you create a Fusion Composition from the Effects tab? I would also double check to make sure it’s either in the Media Pool or in a different timeline.
@@CameraTim Well the good news is that I created 3D revolving logo, w/text from a png image, so a big thanks for that! The bad news is that I am trying run before I can walk and lost it all. Not a biggy though, it just means I have to do it again, just need to know how to save it and how to access it once I'm done. It was created in Fussion btw on a blank slate, no clip. Thanks.
@@responsible-gambler Gotcha, if you just created it straight up in Fusion before creating a timeline, usually it’ll generate a Fusion comp in your Media Pool, that’s typically where you’d find it.
Super helpful, doing this in Premiere all by hand. But I am switching to DaVinci Studio and this is awesome. Please make a video for the transitions, I would really appreciate this. Best Video I found for my use case Remote Podcast so far. Thanks!
@@selftravelling Did you install the X Session .lua file in the correct folder? You might need to double check the file path to ensure you put it in the right place (or check one of the alternative folders mentioned).
Hm, when you open the Settings for Grammarly, does it have Show on text selection enabled? And unlikely, but make sure DaVinci Resolve isn't in the Blocked tab.
@@KendellStephens-t1p It could be, although I don’t have a Mac to troubleshoot and see if there’s an OS specific setting I’m missing. If I get to a Mac soon, I’ll do some testing.
Hello, I placed my original files on my desktop, but I want to change the destination, but if I do so the Vinci won't be able to find the source and only red bars will appear in the editing room. Can anyone suggest way to move the files from the desktop to another destination and have DaVinci finding them please?
Yes, when you go to your Project Settings, there's a Path Mapping tab where you can specify a location for Resolve to always look for your footage. So you can have a dedicated project folder where all your media will be stored to allow Resolve to find them much easier.
Audio nerds and especially musicians would indeed find fault using Resolve as such a crutch... However, it's fabulous that you uncovered these grid and ruler options that I bet even nerds and musicians would never even think to utilize. In appreciation.
Yeah, there's definitely quite a bit of room for Fairlight to improve, but it has come a long way thus far and there are a lot of updates to it that seem to get swept under the rug that most people don't notice. Hopefully there continues to be bigger Fairlight pushes though.
The section titled, ”Songs without a distinctive beat”; actually does have a distinctive beat. All songs prior to this example are in 4/4 time. That section is in 6/8 time. 😊. I’m a piano player. 😊 Good tutorial though. Thanks for sharing
I felt like there was a beat to it, haha! I was initially guessing 3/4, but actually knowing beat measures for songs felt like a completely different tutorial and one I wasn’t qualified to make. Thanks for the comment!
Ah, thanks! I have always spent too much time trying to "blend" music to match the video and it never worked well for me. You gave me something to try on the next project and see if it will speed up my editing. Again, thanks.
So that was just referring to the “beats”. When you have your Time Scale set to Tempo and not Timecode, and then Snap to Grid enabled, you just use the numbers at the top to count off. So if your beat is at 005 | 01 | 01 (shown where Timecode usually is), then “four ahead” of that would be 009 | 01 | 01. Hopefully that makes sense.
To edit music you also need to understand time signatures, not just tempo. Good info on using the tools to calculate tempo. A lot of library music will tell you the tempo. Performed music with real musicians just won't snap to grids as the tempo varies. As a drummer and sound editor I just hear the edit points without needing to snap to a tempo grid. My favourite trick is to use clip layering so I can drag over and see both waveforms to line up the beat and see what you were doing by moving a clip to another track to hear the overlap. Once timed you can crossfade between the layers. Layered editing on the Fairlight page is one of the most powerful features.
@@digitalcity1 Yeah, I had a version of the recording where I used a different time signature because one of the songs, as you probably heard, wasn’t 4/4. But because I’m not musically inclined, I don’t feel at all qualified to educate people on how to adapt to those things or how to hear it, so I left it out. The layered workflow is really useful though for sure. Obviously this doesn’t cover all scenarios because live music is never perfect of course, so you do need to manually adapt, and not all songs are consistent tempo either like you mentioned. I think that’s why I mentioned manual syncing but felt like the video would’ve been too long if I’d gone into the details, especially with this being mostly about BPM and stock/background music.
thank you for this tutorial Tim. Need to try out this oneself-tempo calculation from hearing. So far I took tempo from external sources which not always worked well and I had challenges to figure out where actually to start :) but from this video I can see whole process requires patience, practice and ... earphones in first row :)
@@bulwazurbulwazur Haha! Headphones help a lot. It does take a little practice, but after you do it a couple times, it gets a lot easier. Some sites even give the BPM information like Epidemic Sound, Audiio, and Artlist, although I still run the check in Resolve because the sites aren’t always 100% accurate.
If you select the crossfade, you can change it to "Cross Fade +3dB" in the inspector, which will deal with the volume inconsistencies. Think about it this way - with a normal crossfade, you can imagine the first clip fading down and the second fading up, so everything is only half-volume in the middle of the transition. As a general rule, I use a +3dB transition fading between things and the default one if I'm fading something up or down from silence.
I actually do this a lot on the Edit page, it's a really nice feature to have. I didn't mention it here because sometimes +3 causes too much of a boost for certain songs as I do it more based on feel, but it is a good thing to note if you want to adjust it quickly, especially when it works.
You can set your viewers to a single viewer so it only views a source or program and not both, make sure your Source window is set to the multicam option, then double click the multicam clip in the Media Pool to pull it into the viewer, then you can shrink the timeline size to increase the size of the viewer. Hopefully that answers your question.
@@FunctionGermany Ah, I see the issue, yeah it does. As of right now, I don't believe there's a way to only have the source multicam viewer up and still make cuts in your timeline. The best way to enlarge it is to hide your Inspector, Effects, or whatever other windows and just have those two screens present. You can also scroll zoom on the source viewer to zoom on cameras, but that's not super helpful in a lot of cases. This is something I wish I could pull out as a separate clean viewer though. Hopefully that's in a future update!
