Hi Darren, this is abnormally good stuff. I am just 20% into your video when writing this comment - alone the hint about to get full screen mode with basic controls is worth watching.
And, I just got me a sheet of paper and a pencil to write down the most important learnings of your video - wow, never did this before on any other tutorial.
for anyone on the fence deciding whether or not to go studio, noise reduce alone is worth the price.
I went immediately to Studio - it was bundled with the Speed Editor. Bye Bye Adobe.
I went with the Studio version right out of the door and love it! I wasn't sold on the mainstream Premier Pro or Final Cut Pro and couldn't be happier with my decision. This software far exceeds my capabilities and understanding but that's the beauty of it. There's so much that it can do and so much for me to learn! Great video!
Thank you
Thanks a lot for walking us through Darren! Hands down you have one of the best educational channels for Davinci Resolve users! Always a pleasure to watch & easy to understand 🙌
One of the best episodes, in my opinion, was the "How to edit a portrait video." #30k
Thanks, Darren. Your tutorials always provide a firm foundation for expanding our repertoire of video editing skills.
pleased to hear that Dale.
Just commenting here to keep the engagement quotient up for the channel. You deserve it. :D There is nothing to say, you are doing a phenomenal job, Darren. Keep it up !!! It's insane to be able to manage commercial obligations and the subscriber's expectations.
Thanks Vinzy! It is hard work juggling a very busy grading schedule and keeping CZcams happy. Believe me, if I could make one a week I would...I love making them!
Breathtaking pace, valuable information, professional delivery, highly entertaining. What's not to like?
Thank you Peter. Appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@DarrenMostyn How difficult it is for you to choose a topic for every new episode? How do you choose a topic? Is it based on your intuition or deep research? I appreciate your reply.
@@hunter8980 Hi Chetan. I always have a notebook handy so I always write down subscribers suggestions, but usually an episode idea is triggered when I'm using Resolve in my daily colour grading wrk and I just think something would make a good tutorial, either for intermediate/advanced users or a good beginners one. I try and base them all on useful info and I dont have to try too hard to come up with ideas. I just wish I had more spare time to record them. I am booked until Mid-December on colour grading jobs so 1 every two or three weeks is about all I can stretch to at the moment as they take 1-2 days to make.
@@DarrenMostyn Thank you so much! Very diligent reply!
If you slow down your thoughts and quiet your mind, then gaps between thoughts will help you to hear the voice coming from your heart. That VOICE got to be next topics for your new episodes.
You advised to your members in your newsletter four months ago to keep a bottle of water next to you while you work. Wow! That idea works. I was working five to six hours straight without drinking water. Now, I always have a bottle of water next to me. Thanks!!!!
@@hunter8980 Nice to reply to a comment not so technical for a change. The things like drinking lots of water are really important..taking breaks etc. these will all help your creativity. If this is of interest maybe I do a different episode where I break my down my day. I go to gym every day and have certain routines to keep productive. Really good to hear from you, all the best, Darren.
Welcome back Darren! Gold content as always...
Much appreciated, Thanks Derek. I was determined to get an episode out this week.
Good Morning Darren !
Your every tutorial is so informative that makes me to watch it again and again and make me to dive deep into details that a master colorist wants to offer.
You are amazing ! Always!
Thank YOU!
Thank you Chetan. Means a lot! Have a good week, darren
I have been looking for a tutorial video like this video for so long
Nice job again, Darren. Adding a little tip: you don't have to drag the OFX to a node, you can also drag it on a link line to add a new node with that effect.
Hi Robert. I find you have to be very specific exactly where you drop the effect in the node tree to be efficient - I graded 660 shots today for a BBC documentary - no time for errors, far easier to drop onto a node than make a 'new line addition' - but I appreciate your valued input and you are correct. All the best, darren.
Your clips are like chips. When you start, you cannot stop. The poster frames are very appreciated too. They are precise and in big bold readable on a phone typo. The level of explanation is quite high and clear. I take notes every time I watch. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Glad you like them Miguel. Appreciated.
Thank you Darren. So much of valuable information
Darren! The gold standard of Resolve YT. Let me know if you're ever in Chicago!
will do. thanks Endrid
Hi Darren. Fantastic, as always a treasure trove of helpful tips and tricks for everyone just brilliant.
Thanks again Darren, Looking forward to the next episode
Thank you Andrew. Good to hear from you!
As always awesome!! Looking forward to an in-depth to these!!
Next one is detailed on my new favourite OFX! Its a studio one, but so good to discover!
Well done - thank you for this clear over-view. Glad I bought the Studio version.
This video is quite old now so lots more features available too. I'll do an update one day!
Excellent tutorial Darren, definitive guide indeed, this content is so good, thank you very much
Thanks Bernard.
Rocking it once again! 🚀 Thanks mate.
wow, this is going to be awesome as you dig in to more detail. Since I use GoPro cameras, I was so happy to discover the Banding plugin in my Studio version. That's going to be such a timesaver when it comes to those blue sky shots (using some blue sigma masking). Thanks heaps and looking forward to this continuing series. Epic stuff Darren, thank you
Thank you Rastarr. Appreciated. More coming indeed!
Excellent as always. Thank you!
Thank you David.
Great summary Darren. Use some of those every day! As you say, a no brainier to get the Studio..
Amazing content as always. Detailed tutorial following this one is a great idea.
Thank Manoj. Next episode is detailed on one of my favourite OFX!
Thank you Darren. I appreciate you going through those effects. I think I already have a few clips I will try these new effects I never got around trying.
More effect tips coming!
One & only Pro level Davinci Resolve videos on youtube😍👍👍👍 Thanks Darren
My pleasure! Thanks Nibu.
Already quite some time the full version is to be recommended. Thnx Darren for all tutorials. Building on quolity! please keep doing so.
thanks again.
Wow! I have Studio. I found the product so invaluable.
And 4K - thank you, makes everything crystal clear to watch what you're doing.
I did my last few in 4K and CZcams ignored for some reason?
@@DarrenMostyn Hmmm... did you upload right from DR? Mine have been fine to YT.
@@derekjcooper no I export the file from Resolve then upload. No change, just worked today.
@@DarrenMostyn CZcams sometimes doesn't include the 4k until a later time.I have uploaded 4k and it was there a day later.
Hello Darren! I just wanted to say a couple of things. One is that this video has one of the most pleasing to the eye talking head A roll shots I have ever seen. Just beautiful. Secondly, thank you - as ever - for the time and the effort that you put into making such excellent content for us. It is very much appreciated!
Thank you Anther. Means a lot actually!! I invested in some new kit after I hit 10K subs and it is better. And Aperture very kindly gave me some kit which made a huge difference too. My early videos look awful. a single ring light and no idea what I was doing! Glad you enjoying the tutorials! Thanks for your kind comments.
@@DarrenMostyn You are most welcome! I hope you and yours are well.
@@AJ_UK_LIVE all well..best wishes for you too.
wow, thanks for the overview! Really looking forward to the indepth insights to the effects :)
Next few episodes will be on OFX. Just trying to get a break in my schedule to make them!!!!
Man your videos never disappointed me. Always great content 🙏
I appreciate that Osama. Thank you so much.
Love your videos. All detailed and smoothly explained. Those guys in Davinci should be so grateful to have an ambassador like you doing this job)
Much appreciated!
looking forward to the in-depth tutorials!
Excellent.. thank you
You are welcome!
A big Merci for this great idea
You're welcome. I think it was needed.
Fantastic.... I saw some tools i didn't even know DR had. Im excited to try them out.
Hope you enjoy!
Thank you so much for this overview of the paid effects! You’ve sold me on upgrading 😁
Hi Brian. Its actually got so many more features now in the studio version as version 18 is out! No brainer to upgrade. Enjoy Resolve Studio!
excellent tutorial like always♥️
appreciated Koushik
Excelente, a great tutorial.Congrats and keep going.
Thanks, will do! Some exciting episodes next few weeks....you might want to subscribe!
Fantastic video!!
Glad you liked it!
Killer content as always, cheers for all you do
Thank you Joseph. Glad you like it!
Great video as always!
thank you
Thanks Darren, another great guide. I got the Studio upgrade free with the Speed Editor as it was just too good a deal to resist (although I was seriously thinking about upgrading anyway when the offer came along, made it a no brainer). Still trying to find time to watch your Speed Editor walk through. Looking forward to your individual OFX guides now.
Perfect content 💯
OK, thats good for me!
Can you explain how to import and use color pallet. That’s wild !
Great Video, subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Hi Darren this video alone made me know that i made the right choice to subscribe to your channel. I really learned alot from this one
welcome - appreciated - thank you for subscribing!
Thanks man
Fantastic
Thank you so much
Great video good presentation, you are a fast talker! You sold me on upgrading as I have some 16mm film shots that I underexposed and need to bring the levels up and "de-noise" some of the film grain. Thanks! Will check out some of your other videos
Glad it was helpful - enjoy the channel!
Darren, you are one of the best resources for real, practical tips and training from a working colorist. Superb! Thank you for putting in the time to make your videos. Question: your voice sounds really good on these videos, curious about your setup?
Hi Ryan. Thank you appreciated. Are you asking about my colour suite set up or CZcams record set up? I Presume latter? If so its a Sennheiser 416 and not a single bit of post, no eq, no Dynamics, no filters nothing. Easy! I prob should though, but i just dont. I dont grade my intros either.
I'm a Hobbyist daydreaming about my colouring capabilities. However the best investment for my video making hobby was to buy the Studio version of Resolve. Noise Reduction alone was worth every penny I spent.
And today, I discovered many new ways to enhance my little projects with your walkthrough of effects I did not realise I had access to.
It's a win win for me. 😀
I also refuse to use any product or service that uses a monthly subscription as its revenue stream. I want to own something, not rent it.
Lots more just released today on 17.4. New halation OFX to add to that list now! Bad timing me making that one then!! Have a good weekend
Thanks a lot!! =)
Hi Laura. Glad you enjoyed that one. Lots of OFX deep dives coming!
So glad to se this channel flourishing. For being a colorist, your expansive knowledge of the entire Resolve environment is impressive. You instruct very well and always keep yourself from drifting off subject which I really appreciate! Is the speed editor worth it for a content creator knowing the Studio upgrade is part of it? Or is just getting a trackpad/pen combo the smarter way to go?
Thank you for your kind words. Love my speed editor and Studio upgrade a no-brainer! Up to you my friend.
Damn Darren mate! the shine on those glasses!
Bought before I even started CZcams. Least of my worries TBH! The last thing I have time for right now is new glasses.
@@DarrenMostyn I meant that the clarity of the video... immaculate!
The shine on the glasses was like an ad for them.
Never a negative thing from me Sir.
Your service is appreciated massively.
Ignore the hate mate, social media is a jungle.
Ah OK understood and no problem!!! No worries my friend! I will get some new glasses with anti glare soon though!! Have a good week and all the best! Darren
Welcome back to the YT world. "OFX tutorials "- great idea.
I have been using the texture pop lately as well. Works really great on mountain terrains - so easy to make them pop with that OFX. Not sure if you know or not, but the Gamut Limiter OFX question - Is it just hard clipping gamuts or does it actually work like an audio limiter where it is a catch all to smoothly limit gamuts with varying intensities? I threw one in to my fixed node tree to safeguard the transition from a wide gamut into a LUT. Seems to work but don't know what's under the hood.
Anyway - in depth OFX is something everybody should be looking forward to. I know I am.
As I said to you before, there is hardly any reliable info out there on how, and where to use these effects. Even the great Davinci Resolve manual has hardly any info on them. ( rare for the Resolve manual ).
Looking forward to it - Thanks again Darren.
Thanks @jimrobinson. Always good to get your take on any of my uploads and appreciated. Texture pop will be my first in-depth as I've only discovered it recently, and not on landscapes but on a music promo. Gamut Limiter Ive not used so will certainly take a look into that. Good to be back....However... booked all week again grading but next episode hope to be out end of next week...trying to get back to normal uploads now that I have moved in and settled. Cheers Jim.
👌💯📽🎬
Awesome video. It will be very helpful if you can make a video on all effects in paid version. This will work as learning for someone who just bought paid version, along with giving a reason on why you should upgrade. I dont find videos like this on YT.
I need to sell something - some useful stuff in the Studio package! Keep up the great vids
worth it -
I bought the Studio version with a speed editor, after a recommendation from a professional in the field. Never going back to ad*be.
I saw another video (not sure if it was yours) using Texture Pop.
And that alone is worth the 200 bucks.
I do have one on texture pop yes. Its a great tool
Hi Darren please do a detailed video for Chromatic Adaptation.
thanks Darren. GREAT video as always. thank you so much for taking time from your buy schedule for us! i noticed newest release they finally have GPU hardware rendering for windows users. im on a Mac but im platform agnostic so im down with more power to the people ha ha. was just a quiet release on that aspect but such good news. Alson wanted to ask, and sorry if im hijacking the vid, but what's your thoughts to this point on the M1 Macs and resolve. we've been in it for some time and now that the initial shock is over just wondering if the massive performance bump is still worth it. not trying to do an ad for apple but genuinely interested. seemed like such a miracle for straight editing but I do a lot of FX work in fusion. just curious of your thoughts. thanks so much man and great vid, you're such a contribution to the community. keep it up and blessings for your business. hope all is well.
Thanks Teddy. I will very likely be getting a new macbook pro so I'll do my review then and compare it to the MacPro 2019 that I have. Should be an interesting review!! Thank you for your good wishes and same to you sir.
Need to collect more money for upgrade.Thx Darren
Start saving!
Hi Darren, are the clips with the black female and male talking at the desk from a specific show?
Hi Darren, how are you? :)
Just picked up a new 16" M1 Max (I'm sure many have), and with the 1000Nit Screen, it's going to look radically different to my 285nit (max) screen on my 2014 MBP, and I'm a bit unsure if I should be leaving it set to 1000 NITS or changing it up and down depending on my intended output.
Could I be a bit cheeky and request a tutorial at some stage about how changing to a brighter screen may effect your SDR workflow, how to keep results consistent before and after the change, and how to get started with HDR?
(And also... maybe a separate topic here, but with so many HDR screens out there now, how to make sure content looks it's best no matter where it's viewed?)
Thanks for all you do mate. :) Best content out there.
You should always change the display's output, to match.
If you work in a dark room, the nits should be around 100-120 nits, for SDR.
For HDR, it should be 1000 nits.
Netflix demands 100 nits, and 1000 nits, respectively, and that you're in a dark room.
I don't think there are any professional guidelines, for if you're not in a dark room, but you should strive, to be in an environment, as dark as possible.
Hey Darren, thanks for this video. I really liked that color stabilization effect. I saw you have a ton of plugins so I figured I'd ask if you know of a similar effect for focus hunting. I have some footage taken on a cell phone of bright piano keys where the camera was focusing in and out every second or two. you can see it on my channel around 1:30. I have 90 min of this footage I'd love to have some sort of sharpen/ stabilization tool to save this angle.
Really valuable content! Have to add one thing: The Lens Blur is not included in the free version unfortunately.
worth the upgrade price - lots of extra tools!!
As a student on a low budget, it is not such a no brainer haha. Though I would love the studio version
you are right. Luckily the free version is amazing too!
Darren, why/how do you use a tablet, as an editor or colorist? it looks like you have dispensed with mouse and keyboard?
Hey Darren,
Your channel have grown tremendously since we last spoke.
I have a Quick question. I just got DR studio and I’ve been editing some c200 raw footage that typically always need NR because there is no in camera NR being applied. Whenever I add NR in resolve my laptop lag bad but that not the issue I’m cool with turning off the NR node until the end of the edit but my problem is when it’s time to export the render take forever like 0.5 fps. I was thinking to get an egpu do you think that would speed up the process of exporting? My current laptop have a AMD Radeon 555x 4gb vram. I was looking at Blackmagic egpu.
The egpu will help a bit but you are only on 4GB Vram - this is pretty low if you use NR all the time. You wont suddenly get much faster - possibly double. NR at that frame rate is not unusual depending how much you add. NR and magic mask and neural engine is always intense on the system.
@@DarrenMostyn hey, thanks for the reply. So I did some testing and I see that if I transcode the raw footage to prores LT I get about 3fps during export with the same grade so that may be my solution for now until I upgrade my work station or try an egpu with atleast 8GB vram. I do t always have to use NR but for shots with slot of shadows on the c200 cinema raw footage just be noisy in the shadows.
Hi Darren ! Quick question. I’ve made a video on iPhone 11 Pro Max . Awesome quality footage in the sunny daylight. Edited in Davinci Resolve. On timeline it looks awesome , very good colours. After exporting the footage looks darker. After uploading to CZcams it looks a bit more darker than on timeline. Am I doing something wrong ?
Are you on a MAC?
There's an issue (or was?), in the Apple ecosystem with color management. Therefore you have to use the output colors pace Rec709a, instead of Rec709, in the project settings.
@@akyhne Hi ! Thank you for your reply. Yes I’m on Mac
Hi Darren, you pointed out that there is a filter to create analog and film damage but is there one that repairs it?
dust buster is kind of what you need. Part of the Revival set. All the revival tools are incredibly powerful.
Hey, Pal, thanks for your lessons! Could you (if you didn't do yet) explain us how to post chroma key with the new chroma key update (v.14.2). Will be great. thanks in advance.
Hi Darren, Will you be buying the new Apple MacBook Pro with the new M1 Max chip? Apple says in its presentation, the M1 Max is faster than the fastest intel Mac Pro with After Burner installed. As we know you have After Burner, also you use Davinci Resolve for living, will you have a chance to review the latest M1 Max, and let us know if it can really replace the most expensive configurations? Many thanks...
Hi. It is certainly tempting, but no laptop would replace my mac pro grading suite set up even if it were quicker - the cooling couldn't possibly hold up to rendering out 4K jobs that are an hour long or 90 mins or even features. If I get one, which Im very tempted, I'll certainly review it! All the best, darren.
Great!
is there any step to mark automatically according to the beats in the music/sound wave form?
Say for example, if the audio contains a repeated beat, do we have any easy options to mark those beat?
Is there any step to snap the play head to move on the markers?
Please help!!
Hit marker key as you listen to the beat - not automatic but thats how we've done it in broadcast for years! (Im 25 years in broadcast!).
@@DarrenMostyn Oh okay. Thanks for your response...
How do I free up my hard drive's memory after I render a video? By the way I subscribed to your channel. I'm looking forward to your studio how to videos. Thank you.
delete the cache folder.
Brilliant can you do a tutorial on plug ins there benefits, I do basic video editing but would love to know if theres any good ones worth purchasing
Noted. Thanks Ross
@@DarrenMostyn Yeah, would love some in-depth looks at some of the Sapphire effects, when to use with masked footage, adjustment layers, etc. There really isn't much content out there where people use them to any great effect. It's mostly just general overview videos and rarely do they sell the effect's purpose at all.
Darren I see you holding a digital pen is some videos, would you mind discuss your hardware, software, and how the Pen is part of your coloring workflow?
Also
The Speed Editor was 300 USD and came with Studio! Bought from B&H Photo! I also got Studio when I bought my BMPCC6KPro. Lots of ways to get for “free”!
Its a WACOM tablet and Pen. Used for maybe 20 or so years - another no brainer! So much more comfortable than a mouse!
@@DarrenMostyn nice! Love to see how this is part of your work flow. I have a pen I use for digital white board presentations over zoom, but never thought about using in Resolve! Look forward to more of your content!
If you haven't, watch his studio tour video.
You can get the full version for free if you buy the $300 controller.
Absolutely, making it deal of the century.
@@DarrenMostyn If possible YES DO THIS!!
Hi How to edit in multiple timelines without constant scrolling and zooming? How to split editing by 15-sec timelines...
Got my studio with a free editor.
Strange. Under "Temporal", I also have "Motion Blur" as well as those showing for you. And, yup, latest version a couple of days ago.
is your different to mine?
@@DarrenMostyn Yup. You had three ... Motion Trails, Smear and Stop Motion, only. Mine also has Motion Blur as the first item. No big deal, just strange.
Great vid, btw. Look forward to more detailed tutorials as and when. 👍
@@OzoneVibe maybe a very latest version thing! Means I missed one!
thanks for letting me know.
False Color - get out! I didn't know that was hidden in there - I always thought "Gosh, it would be nice to have an Arri false color view in DR!" And of course Darren finds it...
not sure you get the Arri view....its pretty much blackmagic HUD's whcih are great but the custom views are quite interesting. Disclaimer - I dont use as I have Nobe Onmiscope which has a superb False Color Display built in. Discount code in my "which scopes in 2021" episode description.
Its really a god overview but why in souch a hurry when you bother at all
because Im doing deep dives next.
Lens blur is not free
US$200 for a full version is not that expensive if you think about it .. its only worth a month of fuel for your car for some people.
These days maybe not a month of fuel sadly!
