The first time I watched this, I ran into a problem. 3 months later I'm happy to report I've found the solution. The problem was that switching timelines (F1) took almost 5 seconds, on my fully specced out Mac Studio M1 Ultra. So switching to a stringout, grab a clip, switch back to the main timeline and insert, took 10 seconds. That made the workflow impossible. I tried everything, disabling all plugins, everything, couldn't figure it out. Same on my M1 Max laptop. Now I cracked it. The offender was the iZotope Rx 9 components. Even if disabling them in Resolve, they still cause this lag when switching timelines. Need to actually delete the files from disk in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and restart Resolve. Disadvantage is of course that can't use them in Resolve. Need to edit audio separately in RX 9 standalone app. If anyone can figure out a way to do both, would be great.
Hey I’m glad you found this! I’ve been thinking about redoing this video but it sounds like it’s still discoverable. Source to Record timeline editing is the best.
@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks for your amazing content. Yes it came up as one of your first videos I watched, when I searched for something related to timelines so definitely discoverable.
I’m trying Resolve for a side project after 15 years on Avid. Your videos have been invaluable figuring out a balance between embracing the new and trying to recreate how I work in Avid. Really great stuff, thank you!
I've been doing these stringout timelines for long on FCPX and I kid you not, I got to this 3 point editing just yesterday on Resolve but I never knew it was an industry standard, great to see someone actually teaching it, keep it up Chadwick!
Thankyou for this video! This is how you typically edit in Avid and any avid editor needs to apply this method if they are to use Resolve. I'm half way through a feature and have been frustrated because I couldn't figure out how to set it up this and you just explained it. Thanks again!
2 years later I really appreciate this! I've never really studied different strategies to speed up my editing I just ended up doing this seperate timeline method but these tips can really speed that up. I've been on Resolve for 2 years and never bothered to learn the Cut page so I don't know what I'm missing. I appreciate you!
oh man I finally figured out this video, I was missing dragging and dropping the timeline into the source viewer. And the whole swap timeline and source viewer thing broke my brain until I realized the viewer on the right is the timeline viewer, viewer on the left is the source viewer. So when you drop a timeline into the source viewer, the dropped timeline BECOMES the source in the in+out+append\insert shortcuts! So you can view two timelines but one of them is acting as a source that's usable as a timeline.
you don't own how glad I am that I saw this video, I just started a project that I have 7 timelines that I will eventually turn into one time line. thank you for showing this work flow
My workflow never changed ( until I met FCPX, which is why i couldn’t adapt) but it was a bit different. I would go through each reel, mark and pull selects into a selects reel. This way I could compare takes back to back to judge them side by side with no handles. Then you could for example hear all of the line readings in a row and judge the performances. So I would build strings, and pull a select string from those. Depending on the project I might build a super select string from them. At this point I would pull the pieces (with my mouse on avid) from 1 timeline into another. If I had to make changes or the producer or director wanted to see all the takes, they were lined up and I could easily make changes. Often these strings were built by an assistant, but if I had time I would do it myself because then I knew.what was there and I could leave the obviously bad ones behind. It was important for me to see the cut in my head and make it come to life.
Yeah timeline switching is not really a thought in FCPX - at least not for cutting your selects reels like you mentioned. They really want you to use the keywords/favorites and then you can do the continuous playback which is cool - but maybe not quite as smooth as even the source tape playback in Resolve's cut page. You are very wise - keep the comments going, I'm thankful you've found this channel.
Hey Chadwick! Wanted to say thanks for this. I've done 2 projects now using this workflow and it is so intuitive for how my brain works. I can't imagine going back to the original way or even using stacked timelines again. This is the way! (the truth and the life) ;)
Thank you!! This not only sped my workflow up but allowed me too edit easier on the go. Stacking up pancake timelines for selects was taking up way too much space on just my laptop monitor.
As a long time Avid editor who recently switched to Resolve (and loving it), the fact that the source/viewer actually physically switches places seems unnecessarily confusing to me. None the less, I feel like this is the closest any other NLE has gotten to Avid's wonderful timeline to timeline abilities.
Not being able to zoom into whatever is loaded into the source viewer is such a pain for me - one feature i was really missing, coming from premiere. I think this just completely solves that issue! Thanks man!! Keep up the good work!
That's great to hear. Hey one more thing you can do if you want to zoom in to see the waveforms in the viewer is click the 3 dot menu in the viewer, and check the box for show zoomed audio waveform. This is kind of resolve's way of dealing with that issue.
You released this at a great time for me, because this is the perfect workflow for editing a trailer from a timeline of the full film, without having to go back into the dailies.
Chadwick, your delivery style is awesome- thorough and organized. Been on DR for a couple years now, and learned a lot after watching just a couple of your videos. Thanks for all of the hard work and best of luck with the channel!
This is very good episode, not just telling us another keyboard shortcut, but also showing the deeper side of the advantages using this technique and workflow. Thanks so much.
@@CreativeVideoTips My pleasure! Do you know if there is a kb shortcut to switch between different timeline? Also I made playhead stick to the mouse cursor once to scrub timeline without using blade tool, but I can't reproduce it anymore, do you know? These two shortcuts are closely relate to this episode I think.
I really enjoy learning from you, Chadwick! Straight to the point, witty and efficient. I'm also noticing that your confidence is growing alongside each video. Hope that your channel will continue growing!. - Hal
Thank you for being a huge part in the channel Hal! I’m still getting use to the camera in front of me, but hearing this is very encouraging and I’m having a lot of fun teaching. I hope you have a great week!
I finally got around to setting this up like you have it, Chadwick, and I have to say, it's a game changer. Saving me so much time. Really appreciate this tip.
This is a huge discovery for me. I used to show two stacked timelines simultaneously, and copy and paste between them. The big problem with that approach was too little real estate to show two timelines. What a great video! Thank you!
Great stuff Chadwick! The Decompose clip option was new to me, thanks for that! Typically I cut out multiple TL then create a Master or Final TL and drag the other TLs into it - but as you pointed out, there are some limitations to editing or adding effects to Compound clips. So that little Decompose option is sweet. You covered so much here! I'll be replaying this for sure! Have a great week!
Thanks Stephen! It sounds like you were already way ahead of the game by working within a reel mentality. For sure decompose really makes things a lot more useful. I really appreciate you watching and likewise dude - have an amazing week!
Thank you so so much, man! This was my workflow in Premiere, and I'm so jazzed to learn that you can do it in Resolve. Just subscribed, and can't wait to dig in to your other videos.
Hey you’re very welcome! That’s great to hear you’re giving resolve a chance coming from premiere. I think you’ll catch on very quickly. The only time I’m opening premiere lately is for the automatic captions.
This is great - almost as good as the media composer version - only thing it's missing is the different color playhead when viewing the timeline from the source viewer
Glad you see the similarities Matthew! Yeah I miss the green/blue playhead change. They other thing that is slightly different is in Avid you can keep cutting from the source timeline visible and not toggle or look back at the record side. On Resolve - because it's more acting like a record sequence when its visible you do actually need to toggle to go edit from one side to the next if that makes sense. (but you can get very quick with that toggle to 1 key press)
Watched this video just to kill a bit of time and didn’t think this would be a method of editing I’d seriously consider. But wow! By the end of the video I’m absolutely going to implement this into my workflow. I can really see this making a huge impact on editing things such a music videos where there are multiple takes that need scrubbing through. Thanks so much man!
Very cool - I have noticed what I think is a bug in the current version where it won't un-nest on edit for a single clip. If you try this out can you let me know if this is the case for you too? Blackmagic support can't seem to replicate it.
Here I am, being quite happy with the source tape feature and now you are showing me something that makes me even more happy 😁 One thing I noticed is that you use all keyboard shortcuts and not the keys on the Speed Editor. I am wondering if this is your regular workflow ? If so, all you would need is a jog wheel/shuttle, these are more compact than the large Speed Editor.
Chadwick, this video right here! 🤯 This is exactly what I needed and was looking for to help streamline my workflow! Your tutorial and advice is golden! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just spent the better part of an hour or more reviewing this video (again) and documenting it in a manner that I can study and reference easily. Thank you so much for this knowledge and all the other knowledge that you have been sharing through your invaluable videos! Keep up the great work! 👍🏾👍🏾
I worked on a KEM from 1972 to 1990. To my knowledge it was brand new in the mid to late 60s. I went from assisting on a moviola to assisting on a kem. It revolutionized the industry because it was modular with interchangeable video and audio components. It was much easier and faster than the moviola. The editor that I worked for was an early adopter. It cost $12,000 with 2 video and 3 sound modules. A moviola with 2 pictureheads and 2 sound heads cost about $3000. The French Connection, the film that revolutionized editing was what caught everyone’s attention and flatbeds were primarily adopted by New York editors. LA was years behind. Europe adopted flatbed editing about 10 years earlier with the Steenbeck. Which was gene on the film and extremely quiet compared to a moviola but it couldn’t transport the film very fast. Europe worked at a slower pace with 8 hour days. We were lucky to finish in 12. The union contracted 10 hour days, which would expand to 16 or 20 as deadlines approached. The unions didn’t keep them from killing us but they had to pay. One of my friends who worked on Star Wars bought a house in the Hollywood hills for cash when it was finished and completely renovated it. Seeing the KEM brought back a flood of memories. It wasn’t tge 30’s though. It was the late 60’s.
This is so cool! It really fascinates me learning about the history - especially from someone like you who lived and worked through the changes. My apologies in missing the date - I had just pulled that from a wiki page. My experience with flatbed editing is limited to a couple semesters in college with 16mm on a steenbeck - those had to be from the 70s is my guess. Honestly - if it wasn't for computers I probably wouldn't be as interested in editing but I really love the thought process that slowing down with work prints forces you to do. Do you miss the process of editing film with your physical hands? Have you ever done any splicing with one of the home movie super 8mm kits? That was my introduction to film editing.
Thank you for sharing such in-depth tutorials! I recently purchased Davinci Resolve with the Speed Editor and I keep returning to your channel for reference 🤓I look forward to finding more tips in your channel!👏Best to you with your channel!
This is great. It also gave me an idea for anyone who wants something similar while using the cut page. You could set a shortcut for creating a subclip. Organize those subclips into bins or smart bins and then edit the subclips from sourcetape. Note: I havent actually tried this it`s just an idea I had while watching this video.
Dang that is some good info. Yet another of your videos I'll have to watch multiple times. I seem to keep getting footage with no slating or notes (or script!) so this should help my work flow more smoothly. Thanks!
Great tutorial, thank you! A similar method I've been using in VEGAS PRO by opening multiple instances, now I can apply to DaVinci Resolve. One thing I do extra for organizing material while editing documentaries, especially dialogue parts, is to rename timeline clips with the start of sentences or just a simple extract of the dialogue. So you can see the content of talking immediately on the timeline. I have assigned the F2 key for "Clip Attributes" (renaming clips). I love to add different clip colors by importance and then you can select and sort clips by color (you can do it all with keyboard shortcuts of course :))
Thanks for the pointer to the free courses! They look amazing! Do you know if they are sharing contents or slides in some way? I am planning to join from today onwards but it seems like I have missed the first two days
@@LaHoraMaker im so glad you joined!! Did you sign up for the other classes this summer? They are not posting the lesson online unfortunately. People are upset about it. Every thing they went over is in the new training manual. Did you download the files entailed to you? 13gb of media to edit along with during class. See you there friend!!
@@movieretreat I contacted support and they confirmed that recordings won't be made available afterwards. However it seems he is covering most of the materials on the new Editor's Guide to Davinci Resolve 17 BETA. Anyway I also got a schedule for a second run of the sessions on European times, so I registered for those too. See you in the class!
It looks like a great approach. I'd have to rewatch this a few times to get the hang of it and a better understanding. But, that's just me. Great video. Thank you!!
I think I will likely revisit this in 2022 because i know the first time seeing it, that it's a lot to take in. The gist is to work from a timeline of favorites to a sequence that has your actually edited video. All with just the keyboard and no need to dig through bins for individual clips.
Is there a way to insert the video only? When using say F11 or F12 to insert to video track 2, it will also insert audio to track 2. Is there a quick keyboard insert shortcut that will only do the video and not the audio?
Just learning to use Resolve now and sorting/cutting my first lot of rushes. Not sure if it is a new option, but you can right click the bin and select “create new timeline using selected bin”. It isn’t going to be massively faster but seems useful than having to go into easy bin and select all clips.
Awesome video. This was my favourite working method in avid media composer. And since smart tools weren't a thing then, you could fly through the timeline grabbing anywhere. You didn't use your speed editor in this video. But it's working perfectly with the timeline swapping.
Thanks Eduard, me too! I’m glad it’s something we can still do in resolve. I opted not to show the speed editor on this one so everyone can realize all they need to do this is what they already have but yep for sure! Thanks for bringing that up! Cheers
@@CreativeVideoTips I thought so. I am working on a little tool to convert comments from frame.io or sync sketch to srt files. You can import comments as subtitles. I know frame.io integration, but first it's working only with studio, second only the last version of markes are shown in the timeline and third you can't burn them in.
This will benefit my workflow greatly. Thanks for laying it out, it was exactly what I was looking for. By the way, do you use this in conjunction with the speed editor and cut page? Or do you skip the cut page and start out on the edit page like this? My thought is the first rough cut in cut page with speed editor, then continue from there with the more refined cut using this method.
@@CreativeVideoTips Yeah, I was about to say... I feel like for a beginner, its maybe easier using stacked timelines, even it takes up some space, you really have a great understanding of what material you are taking from.. As a hardcore Final Cut user, hating the timeline navigation of FC, this is really amazing. Thanks again for your tutorials which are the best.
Haha you're awesome, that is the one person people always think I look like. The sad thing is I just turned 40 and my head is starting to get just as bald (hence the cubs hat collection). Cheers!
pancakes!! ha ha. I used to do that with music videos and do all my cuts tapping to the beat! (well, not EVERY beat ha ha). good stuff as always! thanks for the tip :)
This is gold Chadwick thank you! I believe some parts of this workflow have changed with the latest versions of resolve. Could you do an update to this within Resolve 17?
The best Da Vinci Resolve with keyboard. I have been searching for a tutorial that focuses on keyboard, not mouse. I am a programmer and hate mouse, trackpad, touchpad and so on.
First I just want to say how much I love your videos. I've learned a lot from you and it's really helped speed up my edits. Second, I'm having an issue and I wonder if you know what's going on as I haven't been able to find an answer online. When I use this technique, the timeline just back one frame when the timeline is swapped from the source viewer. When I then insert the selected clip from the source monitor, one frame is spliced off every time. If I try to insert a clip between two others, a one-frame gap is created in the timeline. Append to end works fine for me with this method as the playhead position is inconsequential but otherwise it's unusable! The timeless gets crazy messy with single frame everywhere. Do you have any idea why this is happening? I did find a thread on the DR forums with another user experience the same issue but no resolution there. Thanks!!!
So the main thing I'm getting from about 6 tutorials I've watched (knowing avid/premiere) is the cut page is a waste of program memory. And also all the game changing tips are things that premiere already had and does better. DaVinci is seeming like a slightly smarter imovie on the editing side, but where it really shines is having great effects/color/music all together I guess
I know, if I want to get faster at editing, this tutorial is an important step in my learning; however, in setting up keyboard shortcuts, I'm already using several of the shortcuts that you suggest--like Ctrl +1--for other purposes. Now I know that I can substitute other shortcuts keys to do the same things that you are doing, but I can't seem to figure out the DaVinci nominclature, when using the keyboard editor. For instance, at 4:01 into the video, you say "Ctrl +1 take you to the folders" and you've outlined in yellow the area in the editing workspace. Now there is an icon on the far left called "a bin list", but I don't see anything in the keyboard editor for such a thing. The bottom line is that I'm lost as to where I need to look in the keyboard editor. Despite this, I think this was a fantastic tutorial!
Hi Keith - I just had to look it up - the actual command to jump to the bins area is called "media folders" in you keyboard customization area. "media clips" is what they call the area to the right. The resolve mac default is command 1 and command 2 respectively. I hope this helps. If you learn those 2, or whatever you'd like to set them to and then q to just between source and record - you'll be navigating super fast even without using the speed editor ;)
@@CreativeVideoTips Thank you so much for your quick reply! This will help me a great deal. I have always found that Media Composer and Premiere Pro CC have had much more intuitive keyboard mapping features. Nevertheless, I appreciate what you are doing to help me be a better editor in DaVinci Resolve. By the way, I'm old enough to have edited on a KEM, what a sweet machine it was for sure!
Davinci youtubers compete on tutorial speed. That way they eliminate the competition while feeling they actually teach something to someone. Both strategies fail. This video is top ten
Chadwick - your tutorials are just great. Coming from media composer I rely on seeing the source timeline. But resolve seems really limited in not having a patch panel to assign, say source audio track 4 to record track 5 while patching video up to V3. Do you have a fast way to do that kind of multi patching in resolve in this workflow? Thanks for any ideas.
Oh my gosh Steven - You have just nailed the biggest pain point in this source/record timeline editing method. I have not for the life of me figured a way to do that. As an editor, this is probably one of my top 2 or 3 things I would love to see added as a feature.
I will add one thing, that I'll work into a tutorial sometime this year is the auto select button does have an affect on your placement, but it's only really for moving clips up to higher tracks on an insert/overwrite and not a specific destination.
@@CreativeVideoTips You have a bully pulpit so keep talking about it till Blackmagic listens! I write The Fillmmakers Handbook but can’t get into this kind of detail. Your tutorials are terrific - keep going!
9:37 That's something that I find really challenging. If you could make a video showing your workflow from importing the cards to the completed edit that would be awesome. The difficulty is that it's not immediately obvious which are the best clips, and subsections of clips. At the moment I'm making several passes of the source material and assigning clip colours to cull it down. It's okay, but not great. I'm definitely going to experiment with the method you outlined here.
Noted! This sounds like something that could be nice to do in a stream since it might not be as concise as I try to make the tutorials. In general it's first about watching everything. Dropping markers anytime something makes you react with any sort of emotion is a great thing to do on your first pass of watching. The rest comes from iteration though and practice. A lot of times its better to get something down on a timeline and you can always go replace shots later, but I do my best to not put things down I don't like because a lot of times they make it to the end inevitably. (unless of course you work for an ad agency in which case they will replace everything with the worst options in general) haha.
@@CreativeVideoTips haha. Thanks for the comprehensive answer. As you say, I think it's a case of iteration and practice. The method in this video should definitely help with the iteration. I'll look forward to the live stream. It will also be interesting to see to what extent you use the Speed Editor. While it has some nice features, I think the method in this video is in many ways better. Hopefully, they will add the ability to re-assign the keys on the SE. I feel that would improve its utility enormously.
I watched this months ago and thought it was interesting but didn't fit my needs. However now I have a project where it could make sense-so that you for teaching this! One thing I found out is that any timeline you create will lock the clips to the resolution of that timeline, and carry that resolution forward to the edit. So if you don't want to potentially lose quality you might have to create the stringouts at the full resolution of the source footage, which can be cumbersome. Am I wrong about this? Or is there a way around it?
There are 2 ways to work with resolution. 1 is to always set it in the project manager this is what I do most of the time because it will by default change all of your timelines. You can also click on the individual timeline settings then uncheck use project settings and set those to your ideal resolution. Most of the time I edit UHD at HD then change back to UHD in the settings before going to export. No quality is lost
@@CreativeVideoTips To clarify what I mean, let me describe the test I did. On a string out timeline I reduced resolution to 256x256, then edited a clip from that into a 2K timeline. I wanted to see if it would pull from the original 4K file and resize according to the destination timeline, but what I found is that the clip was clearly reduced to 256 pixels. However I didn’t try exporting the file to see if it would regain the lost resolution.
Excellent work again. trying to figure the best way to edit a feature film that has one camera, around 50 scenes. I have started doing each scene as a project with the movie title as a whole database. Then each project copied into a final project and the timeline of each project (scene) copied into the final project timeline. I don't want to bring over as a timeline clip as you lose all the separate audio tracks as the timeline approach only outputs a stereo track. But I envisage a right nightmare as there are 19 actors each will need need separate audio tracks and what is the best way to append at end of the clips and audio tracks without them going into the wrong tracks. I suppose I could link all the files in the timeline. Lock the tracks already in the main timeline, then the new clips will create new tracks when you bring them in. Or have I got this all wrong and there is a far more organised way? I have done about 3 tiny, tiny shorts before this. On this project I have been asked to do basically everything Direct, cameraman, editor, vfx, sound design colour delivery. The producer who wrote the script only wanted me to take this on as the other people he knew, he couldn't trust to be involved.
this is an amazing video and inspired my workflow a lot. But just so I understand correctly: If id use stacked timelines and actually stack source-timeline and timeline-timeline above each other (with the litte button on the right that comes up when you hit the stacked timelines button), I really dont have any advantage from using swap timelines (ur F1) or swap viewer (q) right?
Sorry I misunderstood the question. They are very different. Q is just moving your selected window. Swap timeline and source actually makes it possible to directly 3 point edit one timeline into another. The key is dragging the selects timeline into the source viewer.
I'm working on building this channel up every week with more tutorials for the most common questions and problems. Stay tuned for tomorrows video - it's a keeper if you ever upload to youtube.
Ah now it makes sence why avid people get angry when resolve dosen't have source patching XD, Deffonatly would be nice if the destinations rembers when you toggled the timelines at that tho, this is a very nice method and is intresting if anything deffonatly nice for the speed this + dynamic trimming would be nice :), it will be interesting to see if resolve adds source patching eventually -daria mentioned that the dev team knows it's an issue -
Ah cool to hear this is on their radar. Regarding dynamic trimming I would love to be able to hit i/o during playback to basically perform extend edits/trims. The jkl only aspect is a little limiting for no reason it seems. Thanks for watching!
@@CreativeVideoTips oh that would be nice deffonatly put that in the feature request board/form, what I really would be interested in is how many avid patents exsist for editing which might stop them from doing things hmmmmmm
Hey chad, thanks for all help! I cant seem to get the swap timeline function to work, either with the default key command, F1, or under the timeline dropdown menu. It doesnt bring the clips on the timeline, so my append to end does the whole clip instead of the selections i choose. Thanks for your help!
Hi Josh - I have a guess at what could be the problem. Did you double click both timelines so they are both essentially loaded into the right viewer? If so, close the one you want to edit from (your source). Now drag your source (selects stringout) sequence into the left source monitor - and now try command page up to see if that works. It should then "open it on on a tabbed timeline" if you have that option selected.
@CreativeVideoTips great video! I am having a strange issue with my three point editing using this method. Upon swapping timelines and using the append to end command, it appends it to the end, but on track 2, not track 1. The only way I can get it to go to track 1 is to swap to the timeline, then hit end or arrow key, then append to end command. Are there any settings that I am missing? I turned off "selection follows playhead" which I thought was my issue, but that did not do anything. Thanks for the amazing content!
Hi Jeff, yes F9, (insert) does exactly that. Think of it as someone butting into a line at Disney world - they just push everyone else out of the way, but nobody gets chopped off. For editing - clips always move toward the end of the timeline when you insert.
Hey man great tutorial, however I just have one question. when i do in and out point on my one timeline and overwrite them on other only the video clips gets copied and not the idea can you tell me why is that happening
Yep it absolutely does. There is a limitation to it though with regards to organization. But it’s still great because it works without setting anything up.
For some reason CMD 1, 2, etc., do not jump the focus to media bins, or clips for me. I have the full resolve keyboard, and running version 18.6. Any ideas? Thanks for all your incredible videos, super well done and helpful!
Okay, I added this comment too fast, it *does* work, I was in the cut page where it sort of has a bit of a different behavior, but thankfully it does indeed work!
Usually this is because both timelines have been opened normally with the double click. Try closing all timelines. Then open one with double click. Then drag one from media pool to the left viewer. It should work now.
Not that I have used - this is really just a keyboard centric way to work on the edit page. I have really tried to use the speed editor on the edit page and it really belongs on the cut page.
If you were making episodes, would you have one project file for the series with timelines for each episode, or would each episode be it's own project?
This is a really good question. I think it depends how many overlapping assets you are sharing and how much footage an episode has. For instance if it was a TV show, I would 100% do a new project for each episode. If they are short 2-3 minute videos, I would do just one project. When we edit commercials they are usually bundled with 3 or more main creative edits plus several social versions (sometimes could end up with 50-100 timelines) etc... All of that would live in just 1 project file. For my youtube videos I break them out 1 video per project but I'm always re-evaluating.
Hey there... I couldn't find it anywhere and know you edit on most apps available, maybe you can help me? I miss being able to cut on Resolve but my work requires me to use Premiere. I know Q,W,J,K,L all translate, but am missing the append to end function. Do you have any insight on that? Any must have shortcuts for easier editing on Premiere if I'm used to Resolve? Thanks! :)
Hi Nathalia, it's actually called append at end and the shortcut by default is shift F12. Place on top is another great one which is just F12. I use place on top a lot to add audio tracks all the time. One more that there isn't a great equivalent in other apps is to swap clips in the timeline with command + shift and comma or period.
@@CreativeVideoTips I hear you! I love and use these on Resolve all the time! What I was really hoping is that there were equivalents on Premiere for these exact shortcuts. Do you know if there are? I can't seem to find it...
I typically will edit an hour of footage down, then create another timeline with condensed footage and repeat. Is your method basically good for taking multiple timelines and allowing the editor to place the footage in certain spots on the timeline? Thanks
Hi KZ - this method from this video is actually great for both things you mention (and I use it for both). It's a great to way funnel lots of footage down to the best footage and then the greatest ever footage from the best until it ends up in your final video.
Haha, oh I have thought about this Jesse. In fact I have a couple on this channel from years back. I'm not sure the demand is big enough though. I've also stepped away from commercial broadcast work so I'm not working in Avid everyday anymore. I will for sure keep an eye on it though. Avid is extremely under-rated by everyone outside of the broadcast and film world.
@@CreativeVideoTips I understand, and I do want to say I love your channel. As an editor for so many years I was blown away by how much I didn't know just watching your videos.
Is there a way to clear Timelines in the source and record monitor? After multiple uses the list just goes on increasing. This is not as good as AVID Media Composer
