NODES! I couldn’t cover nodes in this video (even though they’re weird!). I’m talking Nodes in this 5 Minute Friday so make sure to stick around for that 😊
Can you please do a tutorial on the best way to work with sped up media? I make art timelapses and frequently need to turn a 5 hour video into 5 minutes. DaVinci *hates* me doing that and I can never get a smooth playback to know what my video will look like before exporting, even after hitting "optomize media" This would help a ton, if you have the time!
Being able to deliver parts of a completed project in separate videos is something I never knew you could do in Resolve! I was always just saving the completed project as another project and editing that for the part I needed. This is great if I just want to create a You Tube short for example. I'm now also creating new timelines for other 'projects' in the current project so everything is in the same work area. As long as you title every timeline accordingly, it's brilliant! Love ur vids and just don't bother watching any other Resolve tutorials now 😍
Thanks for the tutorial Alex. Maybe the frames were being dropped because your project FR wasn't matching your files FR...And I kind of think that you knew it 😁
There are no NLE’s that will do a transition without sufficient handles. This is true for AVID, FCP, Premiere etc. And has been true since the dawn of NLE’s.
@MrAlexTech ... and it has its origins in analog film editing: If you wanted to crossfade two scenes, you laid them overlapping in the optical printer. Only hard cuts work without overlap. That was then simply glued together.
One thing I always seem to wonder / forget about the render queue is that if you add a job to the render queue, render it out, then go back to the timeline to make some edits, do you need to add the job back to the queue, or can you just hit render again to get the new edits. Guess my question is does the render queue remember what the edits were when it was added, or do they dynamically update automatically as edits or made to the timeline?
Hi Alex! Allways a pleasure watching your videos as there are allways little mysteries uncovered not only for beginners. 😊👍 What I didn‘t know was that it is possible to renderque from different projects. That‘s reeeally helpfull! Yey! 😃 BUT here is an easy peasy question for you: Is there a possibility to sort the order of the qued renderings in the renderque? I would have needed that quite often and didn‘t find it 🤷♂️ Have a great day ☀️😊👍
Your videos are impeccable, the quality of the explanation and how well presented they are!! Everything straight to the point. Thank you for all these contents.
There is no “should be” for RU-vid frame rates; it can be whatever you need it to be. If you shot at 24, use 24. If 25, use 25. If 30 then 30 etc. RU-vid doesn’t mind what you use, it should just be appropriate for your footage.
Thank you for the very useful video. It would be appreciated if you could cover the following question in a future video: I use a 1920x1080 timeline to work with my 4k footage (also using proxies).I then render in 4k from the Deliver page. Is it a essential to change the timeline resolution to 4k before rendering in 4k? Thanks.
Alex, really can't get out of this, why proxy in the Proxy media generator are in H264 and H265 and if I choose to generate proxys inside DaVinci I get another set of format types like DNxHR? Maybe the proxy media generator is intended for the use of online sharing proxy and not for slower PC editing? because DNxHR is the perfect solution to use in the free edition of DaVinci because doesn't need to be decoded right?
Thanks Alex! Two things: 1) If you create an ARCHIVE to be used on another machine, does the 2nd desktop/laptop/iPad need to have ALL the LUTS and effects to properly continue the workflow on that Archive? If yes how would that be done? 2) On the topic of timelines and changing frame rates, how does *conforming media* and *conforming media lock* fit into the picture? TIA
Pretty Cool Tricks. n When Changing a clip attributes from let say 60 to 30, does it change the quality of the file? and if ever returning to 60 let's say
Thanks for the video. As a newbie, I need to know the following. If I have 60fps footage and only need certain footage slow down, what should my timeliness fps be for editing and again for exporting? The reason I ask is that it is suggested by most that 24fps for playback is the industry standard.
Ok, so now, how can I add few timelines to render at once? Recently I'm editing some podcast videos and each time preparing a shorts from them (about 10 at least per video) and it's very frustrating to click through each timeline and add them to the rendering pool one-by-one. Can this problem be solved?
I have a question: Is there an easier way to change the same field in the inspector, from dozens of the same type of nodes, in the Fusion? I have just imported an SVG file with many lines, Fusion breaks it down into many nodes, which I would like to change the thickness of the lines to an expression, that applies to all of those nodes. Thanks...
The Render from other time lines information is HUGE. I had been doing one video at a time, waiting for the first to finish before I work on another. Thank you much for the video!!!
I am such a noob. I am trying to learn but it is slow going to get what I want. Can someone answer my lame question? If I have a bmpcc4, why or when would I ever want to use a frame rate other than 60fps?
And how to add a propper working automated transition (fade-in to fade-out) for clips that are in separated editing lines? Because of the podcast episodes editing I've mentioned earlier I want as many actions be automated as it can be
Im just getting the hang of Premiere Pro, and thats as deep as the deepest ocean? However I own a Blackmagic camera and wish to get the best possible results so I need to dive into Davinci. Hopefully get there faster with your videos, so many thanks in advance.
Something strange is happening with me that I can't find much information about. When I export a video, and even still on the timeline, after rendering the cache, random black dots or pixels appear around the edges of the captions or sometimes PNGs. I noticed this happening when I use text+ and use the zoom control with DaVinci's built-in transform control
How were you able to have a bell curve on the audio file that was on the screen at 13:40 in the video? I've just switched to DaVinci from PowerDirector 365. Before that, I was using Adobe Premiere, and before that, I was using Vegas Pro. I've been in A/V for many, many years and I must say, DaVinci is pretty awesome so far. Also, what Camera are you using for your videos?
Hey! There’s a little handle at the start and end of audio clips, pull this in to do a basic fade, then zoom in a little more in the timeline and you’ll see the additional handle to add a curve to it. Sony A7iv is the camera but I record directly via hdmi into OBS.
I have an unrelated question for you if you don't mind. I can't seem to get my MSI GeForce RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X 10G OC card to show up under Encoder. All I have is Auto and Native. But the card shows up under Preferences/Memory and GPU. What am I missing??
GREAT STUFF! i have a quick doubt. once we export a project file (drp) and make changes within the project. will the drp get updated with the changes or will I have to export a new drp to retain the changes?
I've been trying for almost a week to create a "clickable link" that I can use on my edits. I can create the macro okay in fusion, but cannot figure out how to get it into my timeline. Thanks for all you do. I watch every episode.
Alex: There is a "feature" in fusion that I have reported as a bug. Try this: Put a fusion comp on your timeline and move it beyond the start point of the timeline (say 3 seconds in) On the timeline, grab the left side of the comp and stretch it to the left to lengthen it. Now open the comp in fusion and drag a media clip into the comp. You will see that the comp starting frame is a negative value, but the media you dragged in will always start at frame 0. So there will be some time between the start frame of the comp and frame 0 where the media won't display. You have to stretch the media to the start of the comp by changing the Global In Out in the Inspector. I find it odd that stretching a comp this way will result in negative frame numbers, but dragging media into such a comp ignores those frames.
Great video as always. Thank you. With respect to proxies, the free version of DR18 appears to come with the Proxy Generator Lite. Unfortunately, it does not offer an option to generate a 10 bit proxy.
Thanks so much for this video. It really has cleared up things that I've been confused about like the project settings. I was never quite sure which of the two choices I should pick. Also is confusing because they said your choice couldn't be change. The project default settings can't be changed after their set. And I'm glad you showed how to change them on the timeline. All the tips were great. Thx.
Another great video Alex, didn't know I could use I/O to render out multiple sections of a project without having to create multiple timelines, great tips, always learn stuff from your videos that drive me crazy trying to figure out and you make it so simple, oh and thanks for explaining the bringing different frame rate footage into the timeline, I always click change but never really knew what it meant. Thank you.
The thing that caused be a lot of problems at first is the difference between the Delete and the Backspace keys in the Edit page. Delete does a ripple detete, whereas Backspace only deleted what's selected without adjusting the timeline. So normally the Backspace key should be used to delete clips.
Good job on this video. Explained a lot of things and you anticipated my questions before I even asked. However, re: framerates...I am confused about using different framerates in the same project. You said I can change the framerates by changing the framerates for a different timeline within the project. Why would I want to do that? What would be the point? I don' t want dropped frames, so is it best to change or keep the existing framerate when importing footage from, say, different cameras?
Hey Doug! Yeah you'd want to say consistent generally. The main reason to change the timeline to a different framerate is if you started a project with the wrong framerate. You can then create a new timeline, with the 'correct' framerate rather than having to abandon the project entirely. However, there may be times where you'd like to use different framerates within a project. For example, you may wish to produce a 30fps and 60fps versions of a timeline.
@@MrAlexTech I gotta say, you are one of my favorites RU-vidr (and I have quite a few) You are responsive and I just wish the word was out on the high quality of your channel. But is there a case to be made for mixing and matching framerates within one project?
Question, so using Clip Attributes to change the imported media from 30 or 60fps to our project 24fps, means they will run slow motion but without dropping frames? In the first case they were going to drop frames due to mismatched Frame Rates, but b/c we lied to Resolve and specified them to be 24fps, all the frames will remain intact and be played slowly? Anyone, please help, my mind is seeing ink spots right now. Now, backing up, suppose we stuck with "Yes, Change" and we will drop 6 frames from the 30fps media every second. Does Resolve drop all 6 from the end of ech second or drop every 5th frame (smoother, I would think) or what? Thank you to anyone that can help here! And thanks to you, Alex, I've gained from every segment in this video!
