Thank you Maria - I hadn't noticed the drop down segment before. When I watched your video I then had the idea that maybe you can literally drag the keyframe on the drop down part under the clip without going to the inspector...and you can!
@@paultsworld Ooo, great extra tip there, Paul. Thanks for sharing! 😊 Yes, I'm amazed by the little things that I keep discovering in DaVinci. I'm pleased that you're continuing to enjoy it!
Very helpful. Being able to modify the start time really helped. I don't really need the timecode, just a counter in seconds and frames from an in point and an out point. Thanks!
@j.r.aiello3702 Thank you very much for your comment! I'm pleased that you found it useful. Very interested to hear that you just needed a counter and frames. If you need any other help, let me know 😊
@TheLawlessRogue I'm pleased that you found it useful. Yes, there's so much to DaVinci. It's amazing how much you can pick up over time with regular learning, though. Keep learning and enjoy! 😊
Hi @paultsworld :) Do you mean softness? I can't seem to attach an image to my response, but on the colour page when you select your window type, the menu on the right of it will have different options: 'transform' and 'softness'. Under 'softness' you can select it for outside and inside the selection. I think that will work for you. Let me know if you need a screenshot.
@RichardChristy-sd9hf Yes, this has caught me out so many times! Glad that you found it useful. Let me know if there's anything else that I can help you with.
@@RichardChristy-sd9hf I'm pleased that you found it useful. Yes, they take a bit of practice, but they can be really useful once you've got the hang of them.
@louisaguiseauthor Haha, thanks! I'm used to her wanting to be in the middle of things, now. If only she was happy to meet new people! She'd love all the attention. 😂
Thank you Maria. I really enjoy this tutorial and cannot wait to give it a go. The smooth transition suggestion really helpful. Thank you as always. Take care until next time. :)
Hi Abigail 🙂 Absolutely! It's amazing how something so clear and obvious to us can end up being interpreted in a different way by someone else. I'm pleased that you found the episode useful.
@abigailslade3824 Great to hear that you're part of Caversham Writers! In that case, I'll see you at one of our upcoming meetings. I look forward to it 😊
What an informative pod cast Maria. Thank you to you and Louisa. This has certainly given me something to think about. An interesting topic and certainly something valid for the present day. Great tips also for budding authors from Louisa. A great 1st podcast Maria. I look forward to your next.
@paultsworld haha! 😂 well, funny in hindsight, but in the moment, it's the furthest thing from funny! I hope this helps you when you're making your content going forwards. It's so easy to do silly mistakes in the moment, but lots of these small mistakes can't be rectified in post. Happy filming! 😊
Thank you Maria. A good idea as our minds are so busy and full that is is easy to make mistakes. So a good pointer for quick reference notes to do. Thank you for your video and hello to Rosie too :)
@@Ane-kh3yp Thanks for your lovely comment, Ane! Yes, it's so easy to forget things, especially when we're busy. I'll be sure to pass on your greeting to Rosie 😁
@paultsworld haha, thanks, Paul. I thought I had put the shortcuts in the video description, though, under time codes precisely so that it would save you time and you didn't have to rewatch the videos! You're right, though, I can't see them now. I'll see if I can update the descriptions to include the list. That will make it easier for you.
@@mariatlloyd Yes Maria, I'm now only using Davinci. Even did a bit of cloning today ;-) I've been tinkering with the Hue v Sat as well - made a big difference.
@coffeelover1456 I don't think that's strange at all. It depends on how often you use the route! These I use these often but there are others that I use rarely and cannot remember at all! 😅 Just find the ones/ methods that work best for you 😁
That’s a handy tool. Does DR have a way of asking the second image to ‘convert’ Its colour grade to look like the first image or do you always have to do it manually in the manner you showed here?
Thanks for your message, @Paultsworld . If the clips are shot in the same area/ same lighting then you can select a clip (or multiple clips) that you want to change and then right click on the edited one and select 'shot match to this clip'. You can also do this using gallery stills. Depending on what you wanted to do I think LUTs would be the best option to get a specific look. I haven't tackled these yet, but there are some good videos out there if you'd like to explore these more. 🙂
Hi there! Many thanks for your message. I'm always happy to discuss collaborations. You can message me on: mariateresalloyd@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you!
While this is an effective method, you've got to be careful not to overdo it. It's advisable to turn on the qualifier and check whether the white(-ish) parts of your video are actually still close to the center of the vectorscope. Note that we are talking about color CORRECTION here. You might want to introduce a certain bias when attempting to achieve a LOOK afterwards.
Hi @christian-Schubert Many thanks for your comment! That is a really good suggestion to add that extra step to check the white parts. Yes, this is very much a cheat way to do this, and a professional will be able to spot the flaws a mile off. I’ve found it a helpful first step, though. My hope is to do another video at a later stage to replace this one (and others) and show a better approach. I'm looking forward to getting to that stage!
Not sure why you use "shot match to this clip" to apply the correction to other clips in the sequence. If they are all shot with identical settings you can just copy and paste the correction over. Shot match is a function that interprets the footage and can introduce unwanted changes on the other clips.
Hi @hethfilms Thank you very much for your comment! That's really helpful. I can't remember where I picked this up from now, but you're absolutely right, I wouldn't use shot match if I'd made other changes to the clip. I'll try out the copy-paste approach later. Thanks, again!
@@mariatlloyd Sure thing! I just had way more instances of shot match not working and screwing with the image, then getting good results out of it. So I usually stay away from it. ;) Maybe as a follow up idea for a future video you can talk about color management and working with log footage and combining different cameras by shot matching them using the color checker.
@hethfilms ooo, that's a great idea! A great way to get more colour management practice. I've just seen that you have a great variety of videos on your channel. I'll take a look! Out of interest, given your extensive experience, is there an area of DaVinci resolve that you recommend beginners focus on learning? Something that will make the most difference to the videos they make?
Can you make a video about masking ? I mean about cutting a person or object out from a clip and adding it to a another clip. And How do I manage the colors ? I want to make it look like natural. what I mean is that Both clip have different lighting and colors.. How do I make it ? 🤔
Great suggestion, again! I think the best thing to do is to do the colouring first and then mask afterwards. I'll put something together on this next for you.
Thank you for compiling this series of tutorial videos Maria - and I get a mention! As you know, I’m from Premiere Pro and I really like DaVinci Resolve - thanks to your clear explanations I’m getting to grips with this software and I look forward to more tutorials. One gotcha that recently got me was audio. I produced a 20 minute video - a friend listened to it on his headphones and I had made the video with audio only in the left channel! So I’m going to have to learn about dealing with audio in DaVinci.
Hi Paul, I'm very pleased to hear that you're getting to grips with DaVinci! I think it's good that you've already got your Premiere Pro background. Interesting to hear about your audio issue. Those little things are so easy to do! I also want to tackle audio in detail at some point. The noise reduction feature is great, but it needs a little practice, I think. Do keep me up-to-date on your DaVinci journey. It's great to hear about your progress from the perspective of someone who is transitioning to DaVinci. 😊
I came across an interesting video from someone. They had managed to render it in NTSC format. The visible spectrum ran right up to the temperature line and stopped. And this was after I graded it and made it look decent. I'd never seen that before and can't decide what to make of it.
Ooo, that's interesting! Do you have the link? Was this something that they changed in project settings? I think that in a world where high-quality videos are now - with a little know how - relatively easy to do. The next challenge is to make videos that are visually different. This does need to be faithful to the video content/theme itself, but if done well it can be so effective!
Hi! Thanks very much for your comment. Do you mean using DaVinci to animate your creations once you have them? It looks like this tutorial covers the animation of an existing image. Is this the sort of thing you're after?: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NbtOPib0T40.html
@@mariatlloyd Yes.. I watched this video... AI voice kinda ticked me off.. I have watched some of your videos.. your explainations is very easy to understand. thats why I asked.😑I can't afford adobe after effects.
@Mr.MacaronSama_Gaming It's no trouble at all. If anything, I'm the one thanking you for giving me a really fun video idea! I can't wait to look into this. I'll be in touch!
Great tips Maria thank you. I always appreciate your honesty as to how much you personally use something as well as where it would likely be used more. Thank you. :)
That's great that you find the extra tips useful, Ane. Yes, I find if/how/when something can be put into practice is so important. Let me know if there's anything else that you'd find helpful. 😊
Thank you Maria. This was really interesting and you made it really understandable. I really appreciate the hints and tips that you talk about as you go along in the video. Thank you.
Thank you Maria. Helpful as always and will give this a go. My knowledge is certainly improving. I particularly enjoy these small clips. Enough new info to keep me going but not too much to get bogged down with. Thank you. I look forward to your next video. Take care until then. :)
Thank you, Ane 😊 I'm so pleased that you're enjoying your DaVinci journey! Yes, I agree, lots of information can be too overwhelming. Repetition and putting anything you've learned into practice is a great way to learn. Until next time, take care 😊
