10 Powerful Davinci Resolve 18 SHORTCUTS for FASTER Video Editing!

i remember this one quote that says there's no  shortcuts to success but it didn't say anything   about davinci resolve so that's why in this  video i'm going to show you my top 10 davinci   resolve shortcuts to speed up your workflow so  you can spend less time on all the tedious stuff   and more time creating and if you're new here  my name is billy ripka and i make weekly videos   all about teaching you to become a better video  editor so if you want to level up your editing   skills click the subscribe button and the bell  notification so you don't miss out on anything   so i've been working on these keyboard shortcuts  since i transitioned from premiere pro to davinci   resolve almost two years ago now the way that  i edit is my left hand on the keyboard and my   right hand on the mouse now i really don't want  to have to like move my left hand around a ton   nor do i want to have to take my right hand off  the mouse i want to just kind of keep it there and   have all of the tools that i need just there at  my disposal because otherwise it's going to just   slow me down now the first shortcut that i use  every single day that i edit is to make a cut on   all layers and to do that i hit s on my keyboard  if i want to only cut one clip i can select the   clip and hit s and it's only gonna edit that  clip or if i have nothing selected and i hit s   it's gonna make a cut on every single clip below  the playhead so you can start cutting multiple   clips at once using that so another shortcut that  i use every single day along with the razer tool   is called ripple now what ripple is is it  deletes everything from either the right   or the left of the playhead to the next edit point  just depending on which ripple button you hit   so i have ripple left of the playhead set to q so  it's going to delete everything from the left of   the playhead to the nearest edit point or if you  hit w on the keyboard which is right next to it   you can ripple to the right of the playhead just  be mindful of what you're removing so number three   is playback speed and this is so vital for when  i'm just cutting up a video and going through the   editing process speaking of that would you want to  know how to actually edit a video like this let me   know in the comments below and uh see what i can  do anyway so when i'm going through a video and   i'm hitting s to cut everything up and i'm using  my ripple left and my ripple right which you just   learned i need to kind of control the playback  speed and one way is just to hit the space bar and   do all of that now that's fine and all but it's  playing at one time speed and i want to speed that   thing up so i moved fast forward to c i added a  second stop control which is pretty much the same   thing as a spacebar to the key x which is right  next to c and then for reverse i have it at z   also if you're getting value from this video a  like and possibly even a subscribe would be super   helpful and definitely appreciated so thanks now  moving on to the fourth shortcut that is to add   a default transition and for this one i've set it  up to shift d now if you use a certain transition   like fade or cross fade or smooth cut or whatever  you can assign it as the default transition by   right clicking on it in the effects library and  then hitting shift d on the edit point every time   that you want to apply it so number five is one  that i really wish they had inside of premiere pro   and this is to delete all gaps i've set this up  to the escape key because i want it within reach   but i really don't want to accidentally hit it  so let me reach just a little bit for it now this   is going to delete every single gap that you have  inside of your timeline so you can just hit escape   and it's going to delete every gap and smush them  all together so number six we have clip selection   and this is another one that i use so much like  it is one of the most useful ones i think out   there and i'm not just talking about the control  a you know to select all i'm talking about like   better than that here's what i'm talking about  if i want to select anything to the left of the   playhead i can just hit shift a and it's going  to select every single clip on all tracks to   the left of the playhead now if i want to select  everything to the right of the playhead what i can   do is hit a and that's going to select everything  on all tracks to the right of the playhead   now this allows you to be a bit more precise  with what you're selecting and let's say you   want to select everything to the right besides one  audio layer like let's say you have music and you   don't want to move the music around what you can  do is hit this little bypass button hey freddy   what's that bypass button called like on on every  audio track that's it what you can do is hit this   little button right here that says auto track  selector you can just turn that off and it's going   to bypass the whole layer so you can still select  everything to the right besides one track this is   a freaking shortcut it's getting good so moving  on to number seven we have open in timeline so   if you use a lot of compound clips or fusion clips  and you have to constantly right click on them hit   open in timeline you just bypass that and click  on the clip so you can hit t on your keyboard   and it's going to open that in the timeline and  save you just a few button clicks but if you're   having to do a lot of edits within compound clips  it can actually save you a decent amount of time   speaking of saving time now number eight makes  assigning clip colors super easy you know how   you have to right click on a clip go to add clip  color and then select whatever color you want   and then if you accidentally just go off that  little menu everything closes yeah i don't want to   have to deal with that so i made it a lot easier  so all you have to do is hit ctrl on your keyboard   and hit whatever number you want you could hit  one two three four whatever right it's gonna   just cycle through all of the clip colors and  because there's more clip colors then there was   numbers up there right you can just hold down  alt and control and then go through the numbers   again this is going to make it a lot easier so you  can assign clip colors to the clips and not have   to go through that super annoying process every  single time you just do it all with one shortcut   and a little pro tip right here is to associate  your clip colors with a certain type of video   right so for me personally the intro part of  a video that's always orange the outro or the   exit that's always brown then everything in  between that it could be you know if it's a   numbered list like this i might assign one color  to it if it's b-roll i usually keep that as pink   so you just keep going and you associate certain  types of colors with the footage that you're using   so number nine is markers now i am straight taking  one from premiere pro's keybinds and putting it at   m so if you hit m on your keyboard once it's gonna  add a marker or you can hit m on your keyboard   twice and it's going to not only place the marker  but open it up so you can type in any information   that you need there now finally number 10 is speed  controls so if you're doing a lot of speed ramping   this is going to be so valuable so to open up the  retime controls i'm going to hit control r and   this is going to pull that up to close it down  you just hit control r again now retime curves   that is control e on the keyboard and this is just  gonna help you to speed up your workflow a bit and   not get lost in the davinci resolve menus and  another one you can do is for the clip speed and   i haven't done much with this but i still mapped  it to r and if i hit r it just opens up and i can   reverse a clip or slow things down there you just  don't visually see it until you hit okay so just a   little extra one here another one i really like is  control q so if you press control q on the no no   yeah actually don't press control q  unless you want to shut down the program   if you do though control q is your uh that's  your guy now if you want to be an over achiever   you could take these shortcut keys and put  them on something like the razer tortoise   and then you're gonna have all of your keybinds  on one hand and you can move around your timeline   so much faster and that's actually what i have  done and i've been using for i don't know like   two years now i've got all those keypads that you  know the fancy ones that people have sent out and   i just can't get out of it so i can tell  you guys how to use that in the future   if you're interested now instead of having  to go and assign all these shortcut keys   you can actually just download all of mine  completely for free just click the link in   the description there is no strings attached it's  all yours take them now speaking of free if you   purchase the ultimate motion graphics transition  pack from our store you're also going to get the   retro flare pack one for free so click the link  in
