You sir, get a sub. Love your content. I like how clear and straight-forward it is, without distracting background music
Thank you. Appreciated. Trying my best to deliver good content
The whole video was worth it for the "selection follows playback" tip! (I already had Studio, got it with my camera)
Some great ideas in here, Darren, thank you!
Thank you Darren!! This is a wonderful video. I bought the full version a while back because I loved the free one so much and and wanted to reward the company, but now that I'm seeing what the paid version can do, I'm even happier I did it. Love your work!
Thank you - very kind!! Paid version is a no-brainer for the money!! i actually have 4 licenses!
How much does it cost now? 300 euros? That's a no-brainer. I switched to DR 3 years ago - the best investment ever. The development from DR 14 to today's DR 18.6 has been just crazy. I have never met such an innovative software developer. And the best part of DR are guys like you, Darryn and AlexTech or Jamie Fenn.
Appreciated. Yes I think its €295. No brainer purchase!!
There are often deals for 315 euro including the speededitor... Thats a no brainer 👍
@@DarrenMostynCan you please make a video on how you edit your tutorial videos. How you integrate the screen 📺 and your camera inside Resolve
@hbonthetrack yes I do. I record screen and mic to my Mac and record the camera with top mic. Then sync the two together using 'sync using audio waveform' feature. Edit the video, add gfx using MotionVFX plugins then generate subtitles using resolve. All in Resolve. Thanks
@@DarrenMostyn when you do so … you don’t colorgrade / correct your screen do you ? Only yourself I presume
Sorry Darren, I've already bought the Studio version 😅! BMD is really lucky to have you as one of their best ambassadors !
Thanks - It's pretty easy to talk about such a great product TBH! But appreciate that anyway. Darren
Thanks Darren👍for all the great hacks and tips-cheers!!! Running the studio version and love it.
Fantastic!
I love how simple you make everything sound. Lots of other videos from people explain things so fast that it’s difficult to keep up. I’m going to try your tips for making shorts. Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for kind words. Cheers
THNX good to see and use full version to the limit. Good buy!
For me, this was one of the most useful videos you've made so far. Genuinely gonna help the way I create. Thanks
Nice one Steve! All good advice!
OMG, selection follows playhead - that's what I needed all the time! thank you Darren - happy to learn from you not only the colour grading but editing as well! :)
Glad it was helpful! Its a real OLDIE that one...!
Awesome, Darren. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Hi Darren,
It’s always a great day when I learn something … and a learned a few great things. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed it
Always informative and relevant. Really enjoy your content. All the best!
Much appreciated!
Awesome! Great video Darren…to the point and informative! Definitely worth having the full version. Here’s hoping in getting a place on your course this week 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Sean. Hope you joined my waitlist then ? Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 6pm BST. You need to be on that waitlist to get a ticket. Hope to see you in November!! Thanks, Darren.
@@DarrenMostyn absolutely have, I’ll be refreshing my inbox constantly until it comes through 😂👍
Great stuff as always!! Thanks Darren. I think you will appreciate knowing that in the latest patch I found out we no longer have to use opt / to loop (with loop activated and in and out points just hit play now, game changer). Look forward to the next vid
Thanks for the info!
Great video. Thanks so much, Darren.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice beginner tips and evangelism. For years I've leveraged "Selection follows playhead" for straight up faster editing, combined with "Swap clips L/R" and other keyboard shortcuts in the Edit page. That workflow easily rivals the cut page for editing speed. But I bought the Speed Editor for assembling recently and... things keep evolving :). I do think "SFP" should work in the Cut page too! That would make the CUT page even more nimble. Great Channel! Fantastic spectrum of advanced to beginner info. Thanks @darren!
This video made me happy, I switched to Davinci this year and you have helped me appreciate how incredible it is even more!
Keep doing what makes you happy! :D
Great to hear!
Awesomeness. Glad I bought studio and I do use most of these too! The reason I bought was just the text generator and the rest is icing on the cake 👍
Thank you Darren!
Welcome!
Excellent! Great vid and tips for content creators! 📽🎞
Thanks Cuz!
Tahnk for Your Stream 🎄
Darren has helped me so much in learning DR - one of the best teachers.
Thank you Jamie.
most useful tips I've ever watched
appreciated.
Nice job, Darren.
Thanks Jim !! Always appreciate your comments! Hope you are well my friend !!
Definitely recommend buying the gear to get the free license. I didn’t realize that when I bought studio. 😢
Definitely worth it, I will always support any non-subscription model.
Smart reframe? Wow!! That's really cool.
Good isn't it.
Smart Reframe, fantastic
I never knew what smart reframe did. Thanks so much Darren
glad you know now - its good!!
Great stuff as always Dazzler! Could you possibly do a video of grading to UK broadcast spec?
All my videos are grading to UK broadcast spec, but yes I know what you mean!! Will add to the list if you mean more specifics! All the best, darren
Me before watching: "I've used DR for ages now, not going to be helpful"
2 Mins in: "Oh I didn't know that..."
Thanks. I always throw something in extra!!
Selection follows playhead! 🎉 🙏So much to learn!
its a good one.
Just upgraded to Studio this morning and looking forward to getting stuck in!
Thank you for the great content.
Can you please talk about how do you grade the VFX footage, the greenscreen to be specific. What if the hero character had green spill? do you despill the footage in DaVinci? How is the workflow between you and the VFX artists.Thanks
Nice tips. Also Fusion is a powerhouse that not everyone can use without some skill, but once you learn it, it adds to much to the resolve package. Replaces After Effects and Premier but all in one app, which for color grading and editing can add the motion graphic aspect and clean up of footage. Retouching, cloning, compositing etc.
Its a beast for sure!
Most people sleep on Fusion but for me that was the reason to switch lol.
@@rano12321 Me too. I got tired of switching between Premier and After Effects, having both crashed and run out of memory for even simple tasks. While Resolve and Fusion in particular is not immune to crashes, they always save everything with live saves, so I don't lose anything, and I can do more with less storage space and memory than anything in After Effects. Plus, the feature set is out of the box, if we don't count third-party plug-ins, and more robust and flexible than After Effects. Once one learns the node-based system workflows, it can be very rewarding overall, but it's harder to pick up than intuitive layer-based systems like After Effects. Which is its big advantage and also its biggest bottleneck with a more complex composition. For me. After Effects still has third-party plug-ins I use that don't exist for Fusion, but as a stock version of After Effects, it's a no-brainer to switch to Fusion. Also, Adobe teases some Generative Fill type functionality for After Effects and Premier in the future, although I'm sure it will be credits- and subscription-based. But with open source AI and some manual tweaking, a lot of that can be done already in Fiusion, so probably not enough to go back.
Anyone who has used 3D Max, Blender, Revit - will pick up Fusion in a snap
@@equisetuminc Probably true. Of course one can make the argument in reverse. If you have used Fusion its probably easier to pick up 3D Max, Blender, Revit etc.
Very cool - been on the fence buying Studio. I hope there will be a Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale.
"Selection follows Playhead" !!! Yes - I need this :D
they dont sell direct
Smart reframe… you can also just go project setting and change to fill with crop
or change the individual Timeline settings in the project. Great for when having to deliver two different aspect ratios for the same video.
Although the free version of Resolve is an absolutely awesome tool to have, it still requires a bit of computing power. This was my problem... I have a laptop that runs free editing software like Capcut and Resolve very easily. Until you start adding effects, that is... Then everything slows to a crawl or just crashes. So, I had a machine built to overcome that problem, and it did. The thing is... having spent the money on a computer to run Reseolve free version perfectly and not having Studio is really stupid. Having a Porche with a VWBeatle engine...
So, I got the Studio version!
It blows the mind!!!
best investment you ever made !
Now that's what i call a top five!
Then you top that by mentioning a number of other strong features that folks new to this wouldn't notice. Night and day it is too. Graphics card based renders get down to seconds rather than minutes.
Camera trackers are better and the optical flow works wonders.
I made the buy when they dropped the price years ago. I think I'd try to get it with useful hardware instead of a straight up software licence.
Don't forget the licence also covers Fusion studio (da fusion) which will warp your world into believing nothing and making anything possible. But thats another thing all together.
This might the one and only time I’m already using all tips in one of these videos. 😂
I already use Studio but picked up a bunch of quality of life tips in this video - thank you! Also, the Speed Editor is a fantastic bit of hardware and at just $100 more than a Studio license alone, it's the only way I recommend people buy Studio (unless they want some of the fancier hardware of course 😉).
Thanks Ken. I agree...add a bit of hardware and get the studio license throw in! I have speed editor (and the advanced panel !)
@@DarrenMostyn I've seen your desk - you have WAY more toys than that! 😀
Good video
Thanks
By far, the best Davinci Resolve channel ever. I have one tecnical question that apparently nobody talks about. Do you know any real solution for "horizon lock"? When i shoot handheld, my horizon keeps rotating clockwise and anti clockwise throughout the clip? Is there a way to keep horizon locked in place without me going to manualy keyframe every second of rotation angle? Maybe somekind of line tracking that is applied to the clip to stabilize it (if it makes any sense). Thank you!
I got the speed editor a few weeks ago as I thought it was worth the extra to get Studio and the editor.
I don't regret it as I am now using the cut page which I never touched before.
It does however struggle to get accurate subtitles due to my Yorkshire accent (I didn't know it was that bad). 😂
Thanks Yourself and Mr.Alex Tech I am learning lots of useful editing tips.
Thanks Doug. The subtitles in this episode were done a few hours ago and it got 1 word wrong. Its a lot better than relying on CZcams captions. Glad to hear we are helping - love my speed editor!! Thanks, Darren
@@DarrenMostyn I was struggling with the time it takes to edit subtitles on long videos in Resolve, as even if it gets them mostly right, checking and editing can be time consuming. I turned to the free open source Subtitle Edit, and once I did, I've never touched subtitles in davinci again for anything over a couple minutes long
github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit
Thank you Darren. Is Auto Subtitle Creation tool working in polish language? Many separate applications that offer Closed Captions feature have very limited choice of languages. I really like your videos.
Hi. I dont see Polish on the list for now, sorry. Glad you like the videos. appreciated
Try "Subtitle Edit". I use this program to create subtitles in Ukrainian, works very well! If you select the "large" AI voice model, I think the recognition will be even better than Resolve does, even for English.
@@matrxreal thank you
Could you make a video about the configuration you use to export videos for CZcams? So the video is looking good, like yours. Thanks
Hello Darren. Is there a way to get the Media Page/Pool's video thumbnails to reflect just the actual _duration_ of a clip & not treat every clip as a full-length source clone when you scroll thru it? If so, can the solution be applied to multiple clips? Thanks for your time.
Hey Darren - Thanks for the great videos... Question, if I buy the studio version can it also be installed on my laptop or do I have to buy it twice? I often work on the road, so having it on both devices certainly would be a benefit. thx...
It comes with two license codes
@@ylesches Excellent... Thank you..
Nice one! Do you now if there is any "translation tool" for the subs, in case someone want so export multiple subtitles languages?
Not sure that it does that ... never tried.
So you can drag menus out...never knew that... Thank you Mr. M
welcome
What are your thoughts on the speed editor? Is it worth it?
Thank you as always!
I have a studio account but in my version, the voice isolation feature seems to be missing in the inspector page. What do you think it is causing this? (I am using isolation in the Fairlight page.)
Old version maybe ?
Sir, I am buying the speed editor board and the studio version will be there with it,,, I have a question,, does the studio version is life time update free? or I have to pay after one year or after some major updates? i am confused,, pls reply,,,
THX !
Is there a hcck how to start loop directly without selecting the loop button?
Tip on PC ... put play in loop on ... strg + space ... is fastrer, easier to press
what is that button changing aspect ratio at 3:54 from? its not in my studio version?
In cut page
Hey Darren, thanks a lot for all these awesome videos. We're driving from Belgium to Asia with our overland truck and we'll be documenting our travels. It's so nice to learn from a professional and you do really teach and explain well. So big thanks!
I do wanted to ask: never had this before, but when I exported my subtitles (without format) from my video (studio version) and upload them to the video in CZcams I'm having a delay of 0:03:22. Which is not happening in the editing software. Have looked everywhere and tried all I can imagine... Really don't want to time frame it all seperatly in CZcams haha. Maybe you have the golden tip? 🙏 Already thank you very much for your time!
Thanks for the kind words and good luck on your trip!! Export the subtitles without formatting - this is NOT the default! Make sure your timeline starts at the front of your timeline too - dont have blank area when you export - worse case you can say in YT dont match timecode and it will autosync your subtitles via AI. Hope that helps. happy travels - I have a van too and love life on the road when I can!
@@DarrenMostyn Thanks so much Darren! Yesss, vanlife is the best life!
Regarding the subs: no I know, it's the second option. When I export the input is at the beginning, out put at the end of movie. On Davinci self my subtitels have the perfect timeframe... it's real strange...
I wanted to try the AI from CZcams to get the autosync right, but how to converted then? It won't accept an .srt nor .vtt type?
Anything else I could give a try?
Thanks a lot for your fast reply! Appreciate it! 🙏
Had a question about another topic, maybe it’s a simple answer or needs a video. I just wrapped on my second feature, and thankfully both only asked me get them a Rec. 709 gamma 2.4 export, they’ll be making blu rays and such, and then they also asked for a web delivery which I got them. However I know what I’m doing to get them multiple deliveries isn’t correct even though it does work. For reference, what I’m doing is going into resolve with a high quality prores file, gamma 2.4, and dropping it into a gamma 2.2 timeline, and transforming it into 2.2 via cst. This works pretty well actually, however I know I can’t simply do that for other deliverables like p3 gamma 2.6 and beyond. My question is how do you manage delivery for everything, web theatrical streaming the works?
When I bought my Studio version, the Noise Reduction feature was worth every penny on its own.
However, now, the Studio version is awesome with so many killer tools, such as the Voice Isolation.
No Brainer purchase!! Hi Frank. Hope you are well.
I recently got davinci resolve studio but after finding a workaround for just about everything using the free version I find myself only relying on a handful of tools for projects. Is this the reason for the 5 tools you mention or does anyone else have a similar experience?
4:12, just set your scaling to fill the frame, that way you never have to do this step, if your footage isn't the correct aspect ratio. (Very usefull when you are fioming open gate aswell.)
Darren, do you use both noise reduction _and_ voice isolation in a given clip, of has voice isolation obviated the need for noise reduction?
NR is for video. VI is for audio so im a bit lost to your question ?
@@DarrenMostyn, oh, sorry I wasn't clear. Fairlight has an audio effect called Noise Reduction that can be launched from either the Effects tab in the upper left, or from the Mixer.
Besides the incredible power of the Studio version, once you buy it you own it. Unlike Adobe or Autodesk, in which you can pay $10k for a perpetual license only to be then forced to go onto to subscriptions for another $4k per year.
no brainer - BUY STUDIO!
I bought the USB version of Resolve and it came with speed editor all for $299. So basically I can use Resolve Studio with any computer as long as the usb dongle is plugged in. Very convenient
brilliant
Something separate. You certainly have a great voice, however, what microphone do you use to enhance the sound?
Thanks. Its a sennheiser 416. No eq, no compression. Just straight record through a scarlet focus.
@DarrenMostyn I appreciate it. Been loving your videos, you have a great way of explaining your knowledge. Gotta make the time, but will sign up for some of your seminars. Thanks again!
Will you recommend the studio davinci resolve over premiere pro for gaming videos ect?
why for gaming videos ?
Magic mask is worth the cost alone
Hey Darren, what are you doing in Kandersteg? I live close by, so next time coffee‘s on me 😃 Great tips, didn‘t know the point about better performance in Studio. Thx and regards from switzerland
Thanks and appreciate the coffee offer but about 4 weeks too late! I was getting that weird train that took my Van THROUGH that mountain as a shortcut. Still did lots of alps driving - was great. I used to have an apartment in French Alps (La Plagne) so I know the driving conditions well ! I'll look you up next time! Cheers, Darren.
@@DarrenMostyn Haha, „weird train“, I‘m so used to it that I never thought this could be weird to others but guess it‘s not the norm to travel piggyback with your car on a train 😄
Do you know is there any discount for studio version?
No there isn't.
Do Blackmagic normally do black friday deals
No. Blackmagic dont sell direct. You have to buy through a reseller. See their website for your local reseller.
A really deep question. Suppose I want to turn my life 180°. I’ve never studied film, or color grading or anything like it (I’m have PhD in physics so you can imagine 😂).
I have some experience with editing and audio because I have a few podcast but just as a hobby.
I can expend hours watching your videos. If I would like to be like you, what is the first thing you would recommend to me?
Best regards and thank you for all your videos and work!
If I wanted to be like you
If I would like to be
I would recommend joining my next masterclass - you sadly just missed one, may do another one next summer. I go into all my business, and how to do what I do step by step. A real chance to get inside my head for 4 days! All the best and good luck! Darren
3:07 you still exported the wrong format... mouse click no worky?
You know, and I've booked marked this. They have fixed the option +/, hang on........ Oh maybe it was just in Fairlight, select range hit loop then play?
someone else mentioned earlier so you may be right ....always learning! Love that!
@@DarrenMostyn that's what life is about isn't it, CZcams opens that up to the max.
but if you are a content creator that does a bit more animation on top of video editing, i.e. lots of keyframing, davinci is quite a huge disappointment. the edit page keyframe curve editor can only do basic parameter like opacity and scale, any keyframe done in effect cannot even do some simple easing, let alone keyframe angle and velocity adjustment. you can do that in fusion page but that page is ill suited for video editing. need some keyframe on effect with nice easing sync to the music beat? davinci simply can't do that.
I asked in all the davinci groups, and all i get is this has been asked for years as feature request that never come....
I really like one-time fees and not subscriptions.
who doesn't?
'Promo SM'
Do not, please, burn in subtitles, please!!😁And guys/gels get the Studio version!
Burn in subtitles if intentional is what I meant. For insta reels etc it can be useful
