@@the_allens_ yes. And up until now when it came time for me to subtitle I would export out my audio, import it into Premiere, auto generate the captions, export them as an SRT file and then import it back into Resolve. Been patiently waiting for the day I no longer have to do that. I figured it’d come to Resolve eventually. Glad it’s finally here.
I'm editing a documentary for the first time and was really not looking forward to having to scrub through and mark every piece of the narration and interviews. My job just got 10x easier. Thank you so much!
I think they only thing left for them to add is the music remix feature from premiere/audition That lets you change the music duration, a proxy toggle switch as the current proxy workflow isn't great, and a timeline resolution adjuster inside the edit page.
Fantastic overview of the new feature! The feature itself seems EXTREMELY useful instead of having to make every little subtitle manually (very excruiciating). I guess it's another reason to swap over to 18.5 lol. Thanks a ton, Mr. Darren Mostyn!!!
I switched to resolve a few months ago and it’s incredible. I hope that they cause a big enough ripple to make these bigger companies consider some forms of non subscription based licensing again. Edit* other companies like ones that own 3D modeling softwares (I switched to blender but still use Maya for certain tasks)
I can't tell you how much I love your videos. I've waded through countless videos done by amateurs and your experience and more importantly, YOUR TEACHING STYLE, is extremely impressive. You have a subscriber for life as I transition my business to this new workflow.
holy hell. I was just looking for a transcription. This also has so many other cool features. Wow... Thank you once again for a wonderful, quick, easy to understand tutorial! Wonderfully done.
This is absolutely amazing. Very powerful, and being able to edit from the transcription… transcribing is well done and goes at 10-15X real time on my 2019 IMAC. send the transcription to director, he can send changes and to editor in literally minutes.
Your job and your videos about DaVinci let me make the final decision to completely switch from Premiere. I was using DaVinci more and more and now I've finally bought a speed editor with a Studio version of the software. Thank you for your instructive and inspirational contents
Finally! Even yesterday, I still needed to export video from Davinci and then import to Capcut to auto-transcribe the subtitle, really hope this function to come to the stable version ASAP!
I just tested adding subtitles to my audio and it seems to be more accurate than Adobe Premiere. I always had to do a lot more corrections in Premiere to fix my audio subtitles and with Davinci it got 100% correct, it's AMAZING!
@@RyanShewchuk I just checked the description of Darrens video and there he states that you need the payed Davinci Resolve version. Its not included in the free one.
@@oktofred Yeah, I realized I had downloaded the free version instead of the studio version. You know you’re excited when you don’t bother reading the title 😂
@@NepalArslan I'm confused by your question... are you saying you can't decode MP4 and MXF files for some reason? I shoot mostly with a Sony FX3 (so I'm working with H264 MP4 files primarily) and I've never had an issue. I always use ProRes for high bitrate exports since I'm on a Mac so I can't speak to the MXF side of things.
Darren, thanks for the great video describing the new transcribe feature. Wondering if you know how to use it to translate the text for subtitling conversion from English to Spanish or other language. This would be helpful for foreign language support of our work.
This has been for years my no. 1 request with every new Resolve Update install when Blackmagic asked what features I'd like to see in future updates. The other big one now will be the music remix feature which Adobe has. Hope Davinci can pull that one off too.
You flew right past what you do to find this feature really fast. Had to back up a few times. You right click on the file in the media pool and choose AUDIO TRANSCRIPTION not Transcribe Audio (might have changes since this review. This thing is amazing! I had my wife and I acting a short skit at the beginning of my video and this thing not only transcribed our dialogue but also what was happening like door knocks and such! THIS is going to save me so much time transcribing to the written form because I also publish the video episodes of my show as blog posts.
Just a tip on those who use dual screens, I was getting frustrated with losing the transcription window box and not being to get it back up again. It will hide behind the secondary screen (non primary) when called up again. Switch to either Cut or Deliver pages and drag it over to the primary screen.
The more I learn about Resolve, the more features I see that impress me, and make logical sense. With Premiere, I constantly asked myself, "Why put that there? What sense does that make? " or just my general Adobe response of "What the hell?" Thanks, Darren!
Thanks Darren for the video. Does "auto generated transcripts" work in other language than English ??? Can't find the info... Which language are handled by this new feature ?
Yay! This was my most wanted addition to Resolve as I have a great need for it on a feature project I am doing. I've been researching other software but had to remind myself, "NAB is almost here so let's wait and see.." It looks better than I expected.
Davinci is the best! This new feature saves me so much time and money. And they don't ever ask for more than the $300 I paid up front. What an incredible workflow! And thanks for bringing this new feature to my awareness. Love your videos! 🙏
Haven't dived in yet. I had been asking for years for them to add a "note" node on the colour page. Seems like a grab stills or powergrades and 6 month later open them and have no idea what or why I set things up the way I did. So it's normal at that point to then click on each node and analyse what I did by going to each tool used in the node and figure it out. Big time waster. So I proposed that they add a Note node to the tree - so little yellow rectangles ( or white etc. ) could be dropped anywhere in the tree and you could just double click them open to reveal your notes. So wondering if the new annotations and overlays that they added might help in this regard. The relight OFX looks really interesting. As per usual, can't wait to upgrade and play with all this stuff. cheers Darren.
I just used the subtitle system. Not bad at all. I did edit the result quite a bit. Mostly, it was changing the way the subtitles were split up along the timeline. So, for instance, it would produce: "I chopped the onions. Then," next line: "I crushed the garlic." When I edited, I moved the "then" to the next subtitle because that makes more sense. I think the AI needs to learn more about useful ways to split things up. I did run into one problem when transcribing something - I got a GPU error and the transcription was missing the last 1/4 of my video. I don't know if this is down to me having an older GPU (RTX 2070), and if there is a minimum requirement for the GPU. However, when I created the subtitles for the same piece, those were error free. Obviously, this is the beta release, and it is a very new feature!
Darren, a great opportunity to become your video editor thanks to the new Subtitle feature. Everyone has been waiting for a long time. In general, a cool update was rolled out by Blackmagic
Darren, I am learning by myself to become a good editor and colourist and you are my favourite teacher! I'm only forced to play you in 0.75x and traduce the subtitles to understand maybe 70%. You speak too quickly hahaha. LOVING every second of your lessons! Thank you!
sorry for this. I speak naturally fast and these are not scripted so it will always be like this. I intend to make subtitles better and a few of the CST videos I have edited the subtitles for accuracy (it will, say in description) but it is very time consuming to do. Hope you stay with the channel and thank you.
@@DarrenMostyn no worry for this! I listen with more attention and 0.75x and its fine for me 🙂. I will stay in your channel, for sure! I am playing your playlists, editing and colorgrading. Thank you for sharing knowledge and to spend time answering me, I’m really happy with this!
Now that that 18.5 update is out of beta, I finally tried it out for myself, and I gotta say, the AI text editing sucks for removing silence! It leaves all kinds of gaps and extra stuff that is silence, but is not detected as silence. Trying to get it to work currently ADDS time to my workflow. They need a SIMPLE silence remover like Recut or Auto-Editor where you just specify a few things like dB threshold, # of frames to keep before/after each chunk of silence, etc. For silence removal, that works 100x better, and is 100x faster. The transcription is useful for a lot of other stuff, but for silence removal, it's worse than bad, because it does the opposite of saving time.
@@DarrenMostyn I don't want to come across as a whiner, although I am, but in theory it's great, in practice it's useless, at least for me. I'm just frustrated that in 2023, basic silence removal is just barely getting attention. Could have been implemented 5+ years ago and saved people literally hundreds of thousands of editing hours.
Amazing news!! But unfortunately I’ll still need to keep my Premiere Pro subscription as it seems to be limited to English only. I am oftentimes working with multiple languages interviews (German, French, Italian, English, Spanish).. hope this will come as an update soon! Also, would love to see a search and replace feature within the transcript, especially for names that aren’t correctly transcribed or repetitive grammar/punctuation/spelling mistakes. Much looking forward to seeing the months to come!
Superb tutorial. This has saved me days of work, my friend. Especially helpful since I only made the leap to Resolve comparatively recently..... Thank you.
It's a great start. Def not quite up to par with Premiere beta transcription yet. The test I've done yield results that are not quite in sync. There is a pretty decent delay in the subtitles in relation to the underlying audio. The other thing they need to "resolve" is the floating panel. It's a bit annoying when it's on a second monitor. Sometimes minimizing/maximizing the app makes it disappear behind the UI. Also, where is closed captions?
Thank you so much for this quick and precise tutorial! Question, does this work on voice over audio within Da Vinci as well? Or it will only track on audio from the actual video?
@@DarrenMostyn sorry. I mean, we can transcribe the audio of the video like your example. But how about the audio from the voice over done within Davinci? (The voice over we record in fairlight tab).
Going to have to ask, how well does it transcribe regional accents? That's not to say this isn't a good feature. I recently subbed an hour long doc with several regional accents (including Afro/Caribbean...very tricky), we started off with a time-coded transcript, that I converted into discrete subtitle file. This still required a lot of shuffling subtitles so they appeared in sync with the speech. I think I will put that doc through Resolve and see how it performs with respect to sync and the regional accents.
it would be great if you could have a custom lexicon you could import for strange names or uncommon terms. ( as you pointed out) There is speech to text software out there that does this, so it seems feasible that Davinci could adopt/steal this idea and add it in?
This will help me so much, as I do so many interview for RU-vid that I have to transcribe for my music blog too. Have been using another software but Resolve seems more accurate and will save a ton of time :)
Thanks for the awesome video. I think this is a feature we were all waiting for. Any idea if it works only for english videos or are other languages available?
Nice one Darren. Another great vid and a great tool. But honestly, for me, what I'd love to see from Resolve is some of the glitches removed. There's a lot.
I just tried it out. It does a remarkably good job of transcribing my very strong Scottish accent, recorded on a gopro with massive wind noise while riding a fast motorcycle. I expected gibberish, but it is probably 95% accurate. Great, and scary !
I'm not exactly a professional editor, but studio is looking more and more tempting. Magic mask, this, some of the most tedious parts of editing being made much faster and easier.
incredible dimostration! thanks Darren! is it possible to find a wrong transcribed world an substitute all the wrong world in the text? like "find&change" feature thanks in advance!
Hi Darren! Do you think you are able to make a video on your tablet and pen settings? Im thinking of switching from the mouse to the wacom but there arent many videos on their uses for editing and colorgrading. Thanks!
