DaVinci Resolve Q&A Live Stream

[Music] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] hello you guys hear me everything good you all hear me is everything good how's it going guys let me know let's flip on over shall we hey welcome to the stream hello everybody can you hear and see everything it's all good want to make sure if I we get started before I talk to myself for too long goodness me I do that too often way too often man hmm guys I'm so glad to be here thank you so much for showing up to the live stream man oh man guys so thankful for all of you as some of you said we're pretty close to a hundred thousand subs that's insane man that's absolutely insane I can't believe that that is just nuts just nuts so it's all because of you guys obviously obviously haha so cool thank you so much DJ Perez appreciate that thank you guys so much for being here hey just letting you know in beforehand I am I am working from home do you have a family so people might be coming in and out I don't think so but maybe that's a thing this is a general just queue a stream I'm gonna try and get not so super detailed into like one thing or another that we don't have time for other stuff I do want to keep it kind of general and try and get get everything kind of go over as many things as we can I plan on streaming four to two hours or so probably if we're having a great time maybe a little longer we'll see we'll see but really glad you guys are here thank you for for stopping by the channel you guys are amazing yeah hope you guys are being safe everybody is everybody's good with the the COBIT stuff going on we were basically just hanging out here at the farm I recently moved if you guys don't know you know in the last like few months of my life my wife my wife has been pregnant and she hurt water broke early which actually all of that happened on stream last time I was on stream which was crazy or they didn't happen on stream you know but I heard about it I got the news while I was on stream and since then she had to go to the hospital and be in the hospital for like three weeks straight like could not leave the hospital was basically in bed for three weeks had the baby two months early baby was in ICU and the baby wasn't baby was in the ICU for like two months and then we got out and brought the baby home and everything then baby got sick and was in the hospital for like a week then we decided to move then the co bid stuff happened so that's where we're we're at the tail end of our move and all of that it's just been nuts man it has been absolutely crazy so really thankful for everybody who's bought Luntz who's bought training who was sub to the channel man you guys are you guys are amazing so thank you so much but yeah we're gonna have a good time here today guys we're gonna look at resolve any every question and any question is totally okay to ask I don't know everything about resolve I do use it a lot and I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of things so if I can help you in any way to be more creative to be able to unlock things in your projects and and get better at the parts of resolve that you want to get better at man I would love that yeah bub is all good now yeah baby baby's totally good family's great everybody's good basically we're just we're just kind of held up here yeah can we do 3d text tracking unresolved so track text to a wall or something honestly I we can do something like that I haven't used the camera tracker a whole lot in fusion the last time I tried to use it there was a bug that just it did not work and I just have not gotten back to it and I don't know if I want to do that live just because I I don't know how to use it completely well and I don't want to be like hmm for like for like 20 minutes I can show you how to do a planar tracking and basic tracking pretty easily though Congrats on your fatherhood yeah that's actually my third baby which is which is crazy pretty crazy man it's been a wild ride just starting using the sharpen tool but noticed if I do any color correction and then sharpen it messes with the color any suggestions it shouldn't mess with it a ton it is gonna add a little bit of contrast because that's basically what it is is contrast around the edges it should make things look a little bit shinier usually but it shouldn't be too bad I'm not sure why it's doing that that's weird hmm do you have a good color space workflow for aces with fusion people always ask me about aces I don't really use it um I know a lot of people really like it I I don't I just have I first of all I haven't used it that much and a little bit that I have used it I don't I don't understand why why it's I could see for some workflows that being really good but but for like most of the stuff I do like which is a lot of you know short form like videos for YouTube documentary stuff it doesn't it doesn't make sense for my workflow at least as far as I understand it so I probably wouldn't be a great judge on aces a good a good teacher on that how to reveal and then disappear text when elements in a scene go by okay so are you talking about kind of like rotoscoping like that kind of thing we're gonna get some decent special effects to use in fusion what kind of things are you talking about yeah exactly use the same note structure for color grading every time um not really I can show you my basic note structure what I you do sharpen first and then color or don't you serial notes I pretty much used serial notes for everything and I usually do sharpen at the end that's that's generally what I'll do I'll show you some color let's see my basic workflow for a color okay so oh that's right I was gonna put my I put my own here put my my face on this so you guys can you guys know I didn't leave something like that okay something like this clip and frame tracking clip tracking is its basic I'll do like you know kind of a basic correction in this first note alright and we'll oh gosh that there we go and I'll call that primary something like that and then the second node who did it did it lock up what's going on what's up no it's going crazy okay whatever I think my notes have gone insane hold on something's weird hold up that has never happened I've never seen that okay let me restart cuz I don't know I don't know why it's being crazy all right can you guys still still see and hear me and everything is it good I think we lost connection for a minute Herbert are we good okay [Music] can I use the logo with masking can I add a logo onto a building or wall yes I'm not sure what you mean by masking I'm not sure why like what that has to do with it I mean you can you can add anything to anything I mean if you're talking about like trying to make a logo look like it's on a wall yeah you can absolutely do that we can look into that I'm not sure if I have some great footage with the wall but we can like seem to be dropping out once in a while okay is it good though all right it's good do you know if a plug-in to replace replicate replace Adobe Audition want to set my background music to the video length or are you talking about like the like the remix feature and audition I don't know I don't know of one off the top of my head there might be one but but you can do a lot of really good audio stuff in the Fairlight page that's basically audition although it doesn't have that I don't think you show how you check your mid-tones contrast like is there any scale where you can check that every clip has the same contrast on it I mean specifically like the Technic like a technical way to do that there probably is a way to kind of judge that with like false color maybe what I'll generally do is is by just by eye and and by looking at scopes okay I think things are back I think things are back all right yeah this thing went insane man okay so what I was doing was up here on the sphere and the nodes providing you that word was was helpful great awesome so this would be a primary and then I usually do another serial node and this would be something this will probably be like a curve of some kind usually just kind of cleaning clean stuff up a little bit and then and then I'll do something like a look or or even a secondary something like oh I don't like this specific color and select that and do anything fancy basically you could also break that into parallel nodes there if you want to to kind of do everything all at once it doesn't seem to make a big difference for most shots in my opinion but then like the final look so this would be like secondaries right so if it's like I want to grab this color and you know let's see let's grab this over and maybe that doesn't move it very much does it yeah you can kind of see it so like taking kind of that green hue out so this could be a secondary let's say this would be your curve and then this would be like your look right so hey my life good for you but don't but I mean we're not we're not really talking about that stuff in this chat so we're talking about video editing and stuff so this would be the the look right so this would be something like you know if we have more of like maybe it's a warm cast right so then you can turn off things like just that one part or just the secondaries or just the curve it's just a little bit nicer way to work so I'll usually do something like that for most shots alright let's see would love to know if you've had any issues with waveforms in the Edit Page yes half that sometimes they don't load which i think is true for just about any I mean it's definitely true for a premiere as well I have to switch back and forth what usually happens what I'll usually do is if I don't see the waveforms here is I'll just switch like to the cut page and switch back and sometimes that will load them that that will usually take care of it yeah that's usually the thing [Music] all right [Music] okay so yeah I can show you how to kind of put something on a wall or you're talking about like tracking it to a wall just commit is that puzzle too important a note from a still but without overwriting the grade already done yeah so let's see here so for color let's say we have of course I just got rid of all my color didn't I alright let's say we have this kind of like warm and cool look and then we have a s-curve let's say this is just a couple notes right so I'll call this warm cool this one's gonna be s curve and then we grab this still right and then let's say we want to add this to this other thing maybe we just want to add the s-curve right we can go up and right-click on this still and we can there's a couple different ways to do it you could append node graph and just delete the nodes you don't want if there's just if there's a few nodes if there's just like a couple nodes or you can say display node graph and you can grab this s-curve and just drag it into here I believe is that right there's like a certain way to do this I think you just drag it in yeah you just drag and drop it in between where you want it to go so that's a good way to do it you could also just apply the color or just apply the pan tilt zoom rotation you'd apply all you can just copy from specific nodes to a different node there's a lot of good ways to do it but that that's how I would do it something like that [Music] all right is there a puppet warp type thing in the fusion tab I don't think so puppet warp is rad though yeah I don't know of one but yeah just commit I can if you're talking about like tracking and stuff I can do that if you want to let me know like what the best scenario would be we might be able to do something like on this on this thing like we could put a logo back here probably if we wanted to some colorists use CST from rec.709 or log to re log see and claimed that the finer tuning of exposure contest contrasts after that they transformed back to rec.709 does it really enhance the color correction I don't I don't think so but there could certainly be an aspect of that that I'm missing but I don't think so I think it's just a quicker way to to get where you want from rec709 or a log to Ric and then claim they get fire in cheating whispering hi I wouldn't I mean unless you had a specific workflow that was made for that kind of color or something I don't know I I tend to doubt things like that I usually try and I usually try and approach things as simply as possible which is what like ground controls been built out of you know it's like there there are other like nuts that will transform it to some in in-between like log thing that's kind of I don't know again I might be missing part of it I could totally be just an idiot but to me it seems like you should make everything look good and if it doesn't look good fix the problems right like that seems to be the best way to work and yeah it seems like adding like converting something to a different kind of log and then grading it seems it seems dumb to me I don't understand that is the reason you look at the node on the individual clips instead of the adjustment layer to apply all at once the reason would be just because you have more control over the clips and it a lot of the time if you have an adjustment layer you can work that way but like it kind of depends on what you want to do if you want to have a justement layer that like puts a basic grade over everything I like to use those for like the final look right so if if the whole movie has you know this high contrast look you can put that over the whole thing but but like for individual grading and stuff it seems like you know if you're gonna have a if you're gonna have a grade like this you know on every shot but then you're gonna go through and fix stuff anyway like for the most part what I do is just select everything and then it'll click on it and then you can copy that basic look and then you can just fix parts like if there's something wrong like there's nothing wrong with just going through and fixing it and that's a really quick way to work and there's nothing wrong with it that's the way I do a lot of stuff and granted it's not as you know is flashy and technical but it's like it works and it's fast and it looks good you know so what you want all right yes please it'd be great if you could do tracking okay yeah I'll show you a little bit let me grab I'm gonna reset this and let's go to wonder if I can just grab go to fusion from here that's gonna get mad yeah that's good okay so here if you wanted to put like a logo in this background right there's a few different ways to do it probably the simplest way would be to use a planar tracker and so what I'll do I'll hit shift spacebar and that just brings up this this like quick menu in fusion and guys if you're confused with fusion please let me know and I'll slow down and I'll explain stuff but real quick I'll show you basically how I would do that is I just type tracker and select planar tracker that's gonna add a tracker to this and then you can if this is this works a lot like mocha this is like the same thing basically you know and then just draw whatever area you want to track something like that and actually I'm going to move to the beginning of this clip because it's just a little bit easier to start on one side over here where it says reference time I'm gonna hit set and that's going to look at this image and track it when I do my track so let's say something like that and you generally want it to do the least amount of work possible so tracker let's say hybrid point in area and then motion type let's just do translation rotation that's probably all we're going to need we won't need perspective and all that stuff it's just moving back and forth right and then I'm gonna hit save cuz sometimes this can be a little buggy and then I'll hit track forward yeah see it's a little a little bit buggy sometimes that moves around a little more than I thought let's see if it let's see if it'll keep going all right I can just track this one at a time that will totally work fine and we won't get messed up here but yeah basically you just track it all the way through and it's looking for that picture over and over and over again there you go so you can do that automatic but I'm just doing that really quick like this and once you have that tracked you can go down here to where it says create planar transform click that and this is just making a node that moves just like that piece so if I have like text let's say here's my logo and I merge it over everything else there's my logo I can grab this transform and I'm just holding shift and dragging this onto there and now that will stick I think it'll stick there we go that will stick to that back wall like this come on grab it there we go that should stick to the back wall pretty well there we go so that's how you would do that it's really just it's tracking where you want it to go and then applying that movement to that thing you can also do it with just a regular tracker if it's something that really is just moving up and down and it's not rotating you could totally use that with a point tracker I like the planar tracker because it tends to be just a little bit a little bit easier in my opinion okay okay licensed dongle failed sometimes it just can't find the light the the the USB key and it usually is fine and it'll just find it but sometimes I think it's a little bug but yeah that's how you would do that basically and that's for anything do I know any good color grading tutorial on internet yes yep man erm kay has a bunch of really good coloring tutorials color grading central has some really good color grading tutorials yep lots of good ones [Music] okay let's see if I can catch up guys sorry if I'm missing stuff is there a reason you do the look as a node in the individual clips instead of just oh yeah I already did that okay I don't know if I fully answer that question you can do the look as one you can do it either way basically if you're gonna apply to the whole thing yeah definitely do it on an adjustment layer um you could also do a shared node in between the colors or in between the the shots shared nodes are really cool if you guys checked out shared notes they're amazing they're so they're so they're so rad so check this out this is really cool so like if I were going to do a a basic look on this let's say right I can do like my initial correction and I can right click on this and say save as shared node and then I can copy and paste this to everything and now anytime that I want to change this whole look which you can get in trouble doing this but if you know what you're doing if you remember that they're all shared node like let's say I want this to be a little bit warmer okay I can grab any of these shots where this shared node is at and unlock it and move it a little bit warmer and that's going to adjust every shot with that node it's really cool so you can do some really fancy stuff like have an amount of like contrast that's applied throughout your project like you can have little things that are common between everything like all of your shots and make an adjustment and it will flow to all the other shots you can get really creative with it of course if you forget that's happening you can really mess yourself up - it's like the Spider Man thing you know great great power great responsibility the same thing exact everything is basically the spider-man movies guys everything is OK alright great edit question what's a good time to ask you can ask any time I'm trying to just get through them in order and I'm trying not to be way too far behind how would you dissolve a color image into black and white is that in one node two nodes keyframes well if you're gonna do it within one one shot like this like let's say by the end of this shot you want it to be black and white you could certainly probably the easiest way to do it is to make another serial node like this this just completely D saturated and then keyframe the then animate the opacity of that node basically that happens down in the key the key palette right here there's a thing called key output gain this is basically the opacity of the node so if I take this and just roll it to the left that's going to not affect it's not going to do anything that I'm doing on the node basically it turns down the strength right and so you can animate just that gain I'll go here to my keyframes I'm on corrector - and I'll start with corrector - I don't know like just maybe 20% into the shot I can click this little diamond that's gonna add a keyframe and then I'll go towards where I want this to be full and I'll grab this key output gain and just move it around but yeah I want it to be at one I thought I probably did that kind of backwards but it's fine and then I'll go to my original keyframe did I mess that up maybe oh I didn't say I didn't really set it okay that's fine but basically yeah you turn this on and then bump something that you want to change and then you can go to a different place in the shot and set it to where you want right so it starts out saturated and then it fades out and to not saturate it if you want to do that over multiple shots you could do the same thing in a justement layer you could also split the shot make one make one of them saturated and one of them not and then just add a crossfade in edit there's nothing wrong with doing that how would you go about creating comic-book style look for an overlay as an example like using half tones around a border or something I know what you're talking about that's that's a lot of work it's not something that I know how to automate real well I can probably figure it out but it'd take a while I would look up just look up some some specific tutorials on that because I I've I've never really done that I really like that style though I talk about basic audio and voice correction and enhancement in fair light yeah I don't get super deep with fair light but I can show you generally what I do so here in fair light I have this Bo which I think you guys should be able to hear I think I have it set up right I think if I turn on my audio you guys should be able to hear it I mean coffee is just right here I'll turn off the music it's something that soothes the soul you know you wake up in the morning and coffee is how you start your day right so here's our vo what I'll generally do with almost every vo is I'll work in the dynamics panel there's a bunch of different effects and stuff that you can put on your audio but I think the most the the most basic awesome like really quick but really good thing to do is in in fair light there's this dynamics panel and the mixer and for each track if you just double click on this little like square that brings up this huge thing and it has a compressor limiter if you know anything about audio that makes a lot of sense but really the the compressor makes quieter sounds louder and louder sounds quieter essentially and so it's really good for kind of balancing out your audio and also making it sound a little bit more full so like this mic right now has has a compressor on it that's doing kind of the same thing but then you also have this make up gain so it's basically it's squishing everything down flatter and then bringing the whole thing up that's that's really what it's doing and so I always do that on vo there's also an easy way to like do your EQ which you just double click on this EQ thing right here for the track same thing and you can adjust it track wide if you want to just do EQ for a clip you can select the clip and go to inspector and there's a clip equalizer you can also adjust volume pan all that pitch all that stuff so again like I don't really get super detailed with that stuff I mean because I'm more on the visual side of things but that's pretty much what I do on everything and there's a lot of tutorials and training and stuff on how to get better voice over how to make your audio sound better there's a lot more people who are much more nerdy on audio than I am so I would definitely defer to them on that but that's basically what I do on most projects yeah yeah if you prefer using groups over shared notes also versus remote grades I don't really use groups anymore I used to use groups but shared nodes are amazing and I'd probably probably use shared nodes it kind of depends on what I'm doing I used to apply stuff per group a lot but I would probably do shared notes most of the time it really depends on what you're doing and I mean it doesn't matter it's like cat whatever you figure whatever you think is best for your workflow verse remote grades I haven't done a lot of remote grades that's mostly confusing to me I would have to double-check how all of that works to give you a really good answer on that because I I think I usually use local grades and I get confused if they aren't local grades because I'm a simple person yeah can you also do a grab still and then use it to save corrections to apply in other clips yeah are you asking how to do that and it sounds like you know how to do that one thing to mention about that is if you go up here an upper left hand corner this little button this opens up your power grades and what that does is it saves your stills too to be used on other projects and so if I grab like power grade one I like here's all my power grades and I can use those to make adjustments in other projects and stuff so that's a quick way to save them and you don't really have to do anything fancy other than just save them there and they just live there you can get them through any any project that's in the same database hey lady unique glad you're here it's ok if you're newbie we're all newbies at something how would you do rotoscoping and resolve it depends on how crazy you want to get in like it it really depends you can do some really really advanced stuff infusion depending on what you want to do you can do a lot in color as well because of the colors colors tracker is just just insane and so like if you wanted to do something like roto out this cup you could easily do something like okay I'm gonna you know add my path here this is just a this is just a window in color like that and then ctrl T to track it alt T to track back like and it do a pretty good job with just some minimal messing with right and then you could do the same thing for his hand and everything and you could actually get quite a bit of quite a bit of of that kind of worked out you can use them and then like if you wanted to do something like let me show you like I'll hit all L and that'll be a layer and then I believe see if I'm thinking right always this is like really strange the way this is set up I do that right I don't know yeah so then you could do stuff like set up layers inside of the color page and you can mess with stuff and hold out things that you've wrote out you could also you know do some basic compositing in the color page and in fusion it's very similar so like if I went here went to fusion it would be kind of the same thing you can see it's hard it's hard to like give you a really good general thing on that just because just because it's it's different every time basically if you have it depends on what you're doing really and so if I wanted to I could set this to like merge over itself and then I could do my masking here and I could kind of do this the same way and there's like a hundred different ways to do this so that's why I'm kind of reluctant to say exactly how to do it but this way it's like merging over itself and so if you want to do something like you know make it foggy or whatever here let's see am I doing this right I don't know I don't know oh that's what's up okay Boop but yeah so you can hold stuff out that way I mean it really depends on what you're doing but generally once you kind of figure out okay this is where I add the mask this is where I you know this is kind of how I set up the notes for that you can follow pretty much any kind of like rotoscoping best practices tutorial that kind of thing all righty all right let's see if I can does Fairlight have the ability to remix like adobe audition no I don't think so I try and bust out some like quicker questions here guys can you rename files in the editing page the problem I'm having is when I cut and stack one file a bunch of times it's hard to tell which one is I'm coloring I don't remember if you can I think you can but I could be wrong could be wrong I don't know you might be a little just like hit f2 maybe you can't I don't know I don't know if you can you can color them that that is a good way to do it too you know and kind of keep them apparently that's not loading today what's going on oh it's lost its mind it's gone insane guys what's up why is it why is it going great look at this it's gone insane man it doesn't like me today I honestly don't usually have this many problems it's a it's always when you're like trying to show somebody something that's always when it is you have a video on shared notes I think I do actually I'm pretty sure I do have a video on shared notes after a while it's funny like I'll just I'll forget what videos I have and so I'll just search let's just search Google that's terrible all right is there a stabilizer plug-in and resolve yes and it's so good it's so good all right let me see if I can fix whatever the heck is wrong here I think it's mad because of the fusion comp or something all right well let's let's restart yeah I'll try and catch up on some some of these do you keep do you keep contrast adjustments isolated to one note are your curves weak guy or a wheels guy usually a wheels guy and I don't usually keep contrast adjustments isolated to one node I usually do as much as I can in one node for the most part especially if it's really quick like if it's a basic like primary grade that like I can do in five seconds like it's totally I just do it in one note it's fine you know and you might do it differently if you know you had a shared project that you know where you had multiple people like working on the same like coloring project and stuff like that that could be could be a reason why you'd want to break those out a little more if you're gonna hand that off to somebody else maybe so but if it's just me especially if it's like a tight turnaround thing now it's their way to batch reconnect transcoded media that has a new media suffix like converting to pro res yeah I think you can just I think that you can select you can just select it in the in the media pool and right-click and say change source folder and if I'm not mistaken I think there's a little tick box you can ignore extensions pretty sure that's a thing if you wanted to get fancy with fading black and white you can do luma transitions but using RGB have one color at a time fade until it's black and white huh yeah I guess you could that'd be that'd be pretty crazy is there a way to use frame interpolation like optical flow in Premiere yep that's super easy too I'll show you guys in a second yeah both that and the stabilization are really really easy let me see if I can grab where is that shot I think this is the one maybe I think this is the one yeah okay so let's see I think there's like a little hiccup in this shot yeah like right there okay so if you wanted to smooth out this this camera movement this is so easy guys it's insane if you open up your inspector and select a selected clip scroll down to stabilization double click and usually you can just hit stabilize and now that little bump is smoothed out you can also if you click camera lock and hit stabilize this is probably gonna mess with this a little bit it's gonna be like a Zahle effect but it will completely lock the camera down you know and it's hard because there's a lot of parallax but like generally if you just have a shaky shot it'll just completely lock it down it's so easy it's just like the the warp stabilizer in in Premiere it's it's as good in my opinion for sure somebody was talking about like slow motion like frame interpolation let me see if okay so like this shot let's say right let's say we want to make this twice the length right I can hit ctrl R and we'll make this 50% okay so now it's kind of kind of stuttery right I can select that same thing here in the inspector twirl up stabilization under retime and scaling under retime process optical flow real smooth so easy like a lot of that stuff is really built in and resolved it's so great and and a lot of it works really really well okay doot-doot-doot to do you're familiar with cyan magenta splotches and high-altitude snow your protein let's give good results but not perfect I usually desaturate the highlights a bit any suggestions it's probably the way to go is desaturate those highlights a bit you could also like color pick the fringe and desaturate it I've seen a lot of people do do that with with kind of the the fringing on stuff that works pretty well okay all right guys I'm so far behind all right I'm gonna start with some some more recent ones and if I missed yours please just repost okay okay oh if you go to the Edit Page to the fusion page how do you select the clip that's not on top because it's always select in the top one I think that you can let me check this I I would assume because I have that problem too and I haven't really I usually just move it up out of the way for a minute but I'm pretty sure you can just hit this button right here and then of course then we won't be able to see which one okay I think that you can do that and maybe just select this bottom one and hit fusion and it should go and it doesn't go yeah that's fun maybe you can just turn it off I don't know yeah there you go if you turn out the track that that seems to work it might just work without without turning off the track and now it's just decided to work sometimes that's a thing to know that goes I think it's just turning off the track is the way to go usually most things if things are happening on a track and you don't want it to this button is the way to go this little this little like carrots button we call this they count me out button but I think it's called like I forget exactly I forget the real name for it I always call it count me out it's like the track action select or something like that I don't remember I'm sorry I'm sorry black magic nerds okay how do I create broadcast 708 closed captions not subtitles how about Vimeo or YouTube closed captions two different formats I believe that you can convert or export your subtitles to those captions like if you make a subtitle track you should be able to do that and I think it's in the in the deliver settings let me double check here under subtitle settings which you guys can't see there format as separate files burn into video as embedded captions and so there's a lot of different I'm not exactly I'm not real familiar with all of that stuff but there's a lot of options in for the subtitles in here and making them separate titles and everything so definitely check that out in the and the render settings under the deliver page okay what export settings would you use for Adobe Premiere Pro sometimes the preset does not work for me yeah I probably I haven't had great luck with that preset here's what I do when I used to go I don't go back and forth to Premiere basically ever anymore but when I did what I would do is QuickTime codec you could use DNxHD or D NX h those would probably work I haven't had real great luck with DNxHD it usually messes with the colors and everything I've tried I always have good luck with GoPro Sena form and that's like one of Adobe's favorite formats to Yub 10-bit if you want to you could do RGB 16-bit I usually do that something like that and then export that way and if you're wanting to make them individual clips you have to say individual clips like that and make sure that you click file give you custom name make sure to use unique file names and that kind of thing so it will put all of those separate clips in a folder and then when you go back to edit once you've rendered everything you can go up to file export AAF XML and export to XML and then bring it back into premiere usually that works pretty well it depends on how complex your edit is if you just have a bunch of clips that are color graded one after another and you don't have a bunch of stacks and everything it should work pretty well what's cooler than being cool being ice-cold there you go all right what else guys which is it hit T disable the clip on the time I dare you go yeah that's a great great way to do it just hit to you and disable if you want to stop fusion from grabbing that clip that's a great way to do it see this is why we learned together it's neat how to use the wand mask tool I seriously don't know and I didn't find a good tutorial the wand mask tool are you talking about in color like the are you talking about the qualifier like this thing that were you talking about are you talking about something else [Music] Hey Joe Murano good to see you thanks for all your support and stuff man really appreciate it [Music] can I show venom luck LEDs video venom Lutz on v-log yes could probably do that I don't remember if I have venom let's installed on this machine or not huh so I mean it it's the exact same workflow is like every other is like just about any camera though I'm so I could show you a general let workflow if you want guys I'm so sorry if I'm missing your stuff there's a lot and then I'm trying to trying to figure out what I mean grab ster says I want really want to move over to resolve currently a full time Adobe user just because of performance but I simply can't wrap my head around notes any tips absolutely I do have a I have a couple of videos on notes if if a couple more people want to learn more about nodes and we can kind of walk through that I can totally do that other than that search on my I mean I can totally spend some time on that if several people would like that just because it's kind of a big category and takes a long time to explain stuff and we could get really deep in that but yeah check out my like I have a nodes one that has to do with like a peanut butter sandwich check that out that should make things a lot more a lot of sense that should make things a lot of sense I talk good why use many word when fewer do [Music] all right can you explain fusion timeline time ruler range etc I think many are still a little confused about it yeah I might be a little confused about it to you let's look I don't really remember how stuff works so this this timeline I believe has to do with the exact it's it's the clip itself and then this yellow that's the Edit points and your edit so this is the actual clip that you see in the Edit this right here is after the out in the edit page so that that's why it's like that and it's very it's really confusing it but I think it's just so you know that like hey this is just part of this clip yeah and then I believe this is the yeah render start time in a render end time this is the current frame that makes sense that's how I understand it okay fusion tools mask wand oh I've never used that I I don't know I'm not sure what I'm not sure what that does I've never used it do you play sorry I'll check it out though because I don't know how to add a sapphire transition between two clips I believe that you can load that as an open effect and what you would do is go to under the Edit Page under effects library under open effects you can grab those maybe it's maybe it shows up under a different thing but I think that you can do that I think you can just drag it on that way it might show up under your video transitions I don't think it does though I think that's the way you would do it although I've never done that so does changing color space in the open effects panel to re-log see help create that re look I don't know for sure I've never really played around with that a lot I'm sorry alright okay I've already watched it still felt confusing I'd love to learn more again more deeper okay we will go over nodes in just a little bit I'm gonna see if there's any other quick things I can kind of bang out and then we'll talk about notes here in a second okay mr. Kay says I'm down for all just happy to listen to people's questions have slept on this channel starting from tomorrow watching them all hate mr. K thank you so much for being here that's so cool man that's awesome let's see below the color wheels I see that there are values that correspond to adjustments are there values that you can enter manually to get exact complimentary colors ooh maybe I haven't thought about that I would think that you probably can't because these are all based on these are trance are these are adjustments that are being made on what the clip looks like right now right so they aren't like absolute things it's not like you can set something to like 28 and it will make something 28 brightness right it's just adjusting it that amount so it's relative so I doubt that that's a thing yeah okay please show us your best grade oh boy I I don't have I mean I don't know what I would call my best grade and I proud I don't really have and I certainly don't have a bunch of stuff to show you at the moment sorry guys okay what do I recommend for a transitions package I honestly don't use a lot of transition packages I know that there are quite a few like fusion transitions and stuff that that some people have made certainly check those out those seem really cool I think the most intimidating part of notes is not understanding what each node does I understand emergent translate and a few of the basic ones but there are a ton many of us just don't get I think that's the thing is it gets a it gets overwhelming because you don't know what each one does I'll show you kind of some of the basic ones will stream be available for replay yes yes it will when I choose cinema output blinking is it possible to mask something to put over the blinking no no it goes over everything if you want to do that you have to add like a layer in the edit page or something where the size is in fusion relative to the frame and not absolute values is there a reason I think it's so that you can work with the highest quality possible-- so if you have like a 4k 4k footage you're working in 4k rather than in your timeline timeline resolution I I would assume when you have to zoom in on a concert video how do you fake some sharpness really that what I do if I have to zoom into something let me show you [Music] so like if I have to zoom into something really all I do and that there's probably a better way to do this but what I do is under the blur palette right here under radius I just roll down a couple on the mouse like to like 0.47 if it's like high resolution you can roll the other like point four or five or something and get a little bit more sharpness and so that that's a way to to help anywhere to hear audio infusion to sync effects to audio cues I don't know of a really slick way to do that what I would probably do is make markers in the edit page and then open it up in fusion and kind of sync things to that you're welcome Randy hey thank you guys so much for being here I do plan on on doing these more regularly than I have been the last couple months because my life exploded but yeah yeah more familiar with seamless loops in AE but not sure how to infusion seamless loops like are you talking about like a looping like a looping graphic or something yeah that's all good grab ster thanks for thanks for coming by between the cut page and the edit page real quick and then we'll get into nodes okay that's a tariff oh honey it's fine though that's fine uh-huh but for the record I said life not wife my wife did not explode my life explode okay the Edit Page guys here's what here's what I here's how I think of it the cut page is really really good for putting together like your first pass on the edit you can do a whole edit in the cut page I say edit page I met cut page now you can't put a whole edit together and do everything from start to finish in the cut page I feel like a lot of the audio and stuff is still kind of awkward to do in the cut page but it's really really good if you're going to like check this out like this is this is cool all right so I'll create a new timeline I was doing this just the other day let's say I want to start I want to do kind of a basic edit on with this footage right I can go up to source tape man oh this has gone crazy today man what is up there we go you can go to source tape and what that'll do is load all of the clips that are in your media pool here in your viewer and you can go through and just hit in out and then like append it end in out a pendent end and you can really go through really fast and make and edit and of course you would actually watch through this and see if you like everything but like that's generally the idea right is you can make things go so quick right and it's even faster if you have the keyboard which I'm a big fan of by the way I totally love the result keyboard but like you can do that and like I've already I've already made a rough cut right and so now you can just play this back it's also really nice to be able to you know if you have a rougher edit like this to be able to look at it and kind of as it's like link to the the video track and stuff it's a little bit awkward in in my opinion which I'm sure they're probably they're probably making a lot better but I like to use it like that and most of the time what I'll do yeah is kind of start out in the cut page and for certain things in the cut page like it's amazing things like I like the multicam stuff which I don't have a way to show you multicam stuff really well here but like multi cam and the cut page is really really nice it's amazing actually because you can like sync together a whole bunch of cameras all together and see them play all together without even making a multicam clip you can just see them like it just finds what things belong together and you can just it's like making a multicam clip without making a multicam it's amazing I'll show you guys that sometime I am working on I'm planning a tutorial on multi camera stuff because I know a lot of you like to like to use that the color tap still confuses the hell out of me man okay so then loops that's something resolved badly needs yeah I know a lot of people like like loops and stuff I'd like that to you I don't think there's a way to just like AB something loop I get confused because I work with a lot of different different programs but yeah [Music] yeah learn color gratings great yeah yeah do you have advice for the hlg gamer from Sony I haven't really worked with that I'm sorry yeah the resolved hardware is pretty pretty expensive for sure yeah yeah sorry if it's lagging guys my Internet's kind of kind of weird today if something shot in a res higher than rec.709 will it be delivered in but will be delivered in rec.709 should have let be used for higher resolution or will the standard let suffice for the delivery I mean when you're talk when you're talking resolution are you talking like like a color gamut I mean really you could probably use a standard let is my my thought that's my thought did I learn resolve mostly self-taught but I also looked at a lot of a lot of training looked at a lot of training by Alexis van hurkman a lot of training by what's it called mixing light those guys are amazing there's so much so much wisdom there man you can loop a selection you can loop a fuse link well yeah you can loop like playback mm-hmm maybe I think it wrong o 4k vs. 1080p I I know I get what you're saying yeah I mean the LUT doesn't matter for that kind of resolution that's that's fine that has nothing to do with with the color depth alright guys we're gonna we're gonna talk about notes here for a little bit cuz somebody was asking about that and I know a lot of people get fused with that so I'll give you a little walkthrough and I'll try and keep an eye on chat I know a selection too that's cool yeah I'll check that out for sure thank you let's grab let's grab a different thing here mmm let's see looking for a specific shot that I could do something on yeah I guess this is it all right something like that okay so let's see I'll go into fusion all right and I think this'll work yeah okay so notes I'll give you guys a general idea and then if you have questions I'll try and pause and take questions on this so we'll focus on notes here for a little bit if you guys have other questions that aren't related to notes just hold off for a few minutes because I'll probably miss them okay good you agree to terms SiC just CC on the fly now yeah totally get that it's so I mean it's it's easy if you know what you're doing you know okay so nodes in fusion I assume you mean fusion right when you're talking about nodes because really like the color nodes are similar sort of but these are probably what you're talking about I'm thinking in fusion you don't use layers you use nodes and nodes are basically like a flowchart for what you're doing right now in any time you open a shot in fusion there's two nodes each one of these is like a step okay mr. miles will get into color will get into the color page right after this if you're cool if you can stick around for a while we'll totally do that okay so we'll do fusion for a minute and then we'll do color so each one of these is a step basically if you're gonna do something new you need a new note okay that's just think about that alright so it's like you're making a recipe for what you're gonna do right first you get the eggs you crack the eggs you add them to the bowl all right that'd be three notes get eggs crack eggs add them to the bowl right so this right now is a really simple recipe this is grab the shot from the timeline and render it that's what we're doing so media in so grab it media out render it okay if we want to do something anything that has to go in between these two notes basically at least it needs to go before the media out note before we render it so let's say we want to blur it you can grab this this this toolbar right here is basically is nodes so you can grab any button from here and drag it down it'll make a note so if we want to blur it I can grab this blur node and I can just grab it and drag it on top of this little line and I shake it around that's going through that so what it's doing is taking the media blurring it and rendering it this blur node isn't doing anything right now because each node has properties that you can adjust in the inspector so it's just like an effect or just like an effect that you'd like throw onto something it has it were like a clip it has properties and so I can select this and go to blur size and blur it okay that's the general idea of how a node works now I know a lot of people were talking about like okay but how do I know what all the different nodes are so we can talk about that do we have any questions so far does that make sense for everybody so far let me know if that's uh if there's something that doesn't make sense just like notes in color yeah it's like it yeah yeah it's kind of like notes in color it's interesting too they're they're similar enough to where you can kind of get the concept but you'll get in trouble sometimes just because of some of the things about them but yeah basically okay so if you want to there there are let's see there are a couple different kinds of notes alright one of the nodes like a blur is like an effect okay so that's something that you would that would it would change something that exists already right so you'd grab a picture like this and you'd blur it that's like a blur effect there's also nodes that are like a generator so it makes something that didn't exist before like a text node right this makes something that hasn't existed it's not modifying something else it's media it's essentially media right one thing infusion if you select a node and hit one or two it'll appear on the left or right viewer and so right now I have media out on the right viewer and I usually do that just because I'm used to this area of the screen being what everybody's going to see which happens to be what we're gonna render right okay tracking is kind of difficult you have to set it up just right you have to make sure your stuff is right and sometimes it still doesn't work and so you have to try it a couple times but you also have to kind of know what you're doing and try it tried a few times yeah okay so this text node this is a generator again you can select it and I just have this loaded in my left viewer and we'll say text alright and we can adjust all the properties again any time that you want to adjust the properties of something you select it and then you go to the inspector that's always a thing okay can you do 3d text yes you can you can we can get into that if you if you want to but yeah it's it's a different node and you need to have what is this okay I'll show you real quick and guys if there's any more questions about nodes specifically right now let me know let's see if I can just make things work here did you do just do a directional light that's way easier Boop all right so like there's 3d text and let's just yeah so there's like our 3d text so you can make that right inside of fusion and it takes a couple nodes to set it up but it's really simple it's just it's kind of intimidating because there's a couple different nodes but really all it's doing is making text making a light putting them together and rendering it that's all it's doing okay so that's 3d text okay how do you blur the video where you want like a specific place of the video okay I'll show you that that actually works works great for what we're doing okay so there's generator nodes and there's like effect nodes there's also like mats and masks alright so if you want to let's say only blur this on the bottom for whatever reason okay I'm going to turn up my blur size I only want this blur to happen towards the bottom of the screen I can mask that there's a few different ways you could probably do that one of the easiest ways is just to select the blur node and go up to one of these masks right here and I'll just grab a rectangle and all that does is add a rectangle mask to this blur to this blur node and then when you select the mask you can adjust when and where it blurs it right and so I can do that and I can soften the edge and that's just gonna blur the bottom so that's how you would limit that and that that's the like the exact same way it works in color nodes basically that's like adding a window to a color node same thing okay can you move a keyframe in the fusion timeline yes you can there are there's a keyframes panel and you can open that up and anything that's keyframes will show up here and you can move it back and forth that's a way to do it their video color panel I haven't checked out their video color but do they have like a control surface is that what you're talking about what's the order in the Edit tab which has more priority fusion or color fusion goes before color yep so whatever you do in fusion will will be carried over into the color page okay so does all this make sense so far a Nara effect what does that mean I'm not sure if I know exactly what that is hey Niki gee no problem thank you so much for watching okay so that's that's some basic stuff on nodes if this all makes sense slate maybe instead of panel are you talking about like a a like the color immature thing that you hang on your monitor to adjust the colors okay so if this makes sense that's generally how everything works is everything is either something that's generated or it's an effect that happens to something else if you want to put something that's generated over something else and combine them you need a merge node you don't need a merge node if you need if you're just gonna put an effect on and the reason is because an effect applies to media right it's a it's media that is a that an effect applies to versus being put over it which I know can kind of be a little bit a little bit weird okay Oh a color chart oh okay I some people like them I've used them a little bit and I don't find them that useful that's my opinion and I feel like they're really expensive and they're not that useful in my opinion again might have not used it right huh might have tried it for two minutes didn't have a good time and assumed it was a scam and closed it I have certainly done that with things if you have one you could borrow it I try that or maybe some like footage you could you could play with where people have shot the color chart if you put text in fusion and then edit colors will also affect the text confusion yes yes it will yeah and some people are frustrated about that like that does get frustrating it depends on how you do it but you have to you have to go into that knowing that either you don't color that clip in your color page or you separate the text and stuff into a different layer that you can color separately yeah exactly exactly Ziya I just want to say thanks you help me edit my very first video three days ago thats so cool Steven that's amazing that's so rad congratulations Oh were you talking like a glow like a glow effect mr. miles you will also send out direction not surrounded by wait you can play with the settings it's video editing and rendering your full time job or do you learn resolve on your own both I guess I had a really cool job and we needed a colorist basically and I was like I'll learn all of that and so I just went super hard and learned it kind of out of necessity because we needed to color greater our stuff for this company outward for Suite SG in the background Thanks what's your educational background in this field a lot of experience and I do have like an associates in media production I didn't go to like a film school or anything like that but I have worked worked for shows did broadcast shows for like Discovery Channel and bunch of stuff like that and so that's probably like the highest profile stuff I've worked on we've done a lot of documentary stuff a lot of YouTube stuff I've just done it a lot that's all that's really all I make you feel good to know that you're the first guy I learned from - back when 15 was new that's so awesome mr. miles that's so cool yeah thank you we're out my second video now - post that's so cool good job all right can you please give info about Alpha Channel in the color tab like I know what an outside node is but I don't know if those alpha Channel or Matt etc yeah we'll talk about color page here in a second do you guys want me to go over anything else with nodes is there is there specific questions about how nodes work I know it's not like completely clear for everyone all the time now but what I was saying is that if you have two things that are generated you have to put if you're gonna put them together you need to use a merge node so you can do that a couple different ways you can select the background and go up here and click on merge and then grab your foreground and drag it in to merge that's an easy way to do it you could also do the same thing by just dragging the output of your foreground onto the output of your background thought I'd do the same thing just make a merge so those kind of things need to be merged together whereas if you're going to do an effect to this text let's say like you were going to blur this text you can just drag a blur in between the text and the merge and blur that does that make sense and this all works in a flowchart so check this out like if if nodes are confusing to you think about this you have your background and that's merged with something what is it merged with the foreground okay which is text which is blurred text is blurred and merged over this then it goes this way oh it's getting blurred oh but it's getting limited by this rectangle so everything's getting blurred over it and then we're rendering it so you can tell just by looking at this chart that this blur is after everything gets merged on so if I were to grab this rectangle and move it it goes over my text it's not separate if I wanted to blur my background separately from my text I would have to take this blur out of here and move it move it over here to blur it before I put it under my text and now it kind of looks the same I move this over so you guys can see it but now this blur if I were to grab it it's not blurring my text its blurring the background before it gets merged does that make sense yeah yellow is background green is foreground blue is mask and if you forget that you can mouse over them and it'll tell you it'll it'll kind of tell you and if you're really confused about it you can instead of grabbing like with left-click like this you can grab with right-click and then when you let go it'll give you a little thing to select like oh I want this to be in the foreground though so that's an easy way to do it what's the best ways of finding work as the colorist while living in a small town where media is not a big thing I would suggest I would suggest making friends and trying to trying to just collaborate with people and build a build a nice real that you can show people making a nice website where people can actually find you because it's gonna have to be people finding you not locally right but it probably takes its a lot of time and effort into marketing yourself I would say it's awesome let's see somebody said doo doo doo doo where'd it go that's awesome there's actually one question is there an easy way to draw annotations or arrows and resolve like if you're wanting to point something out in the video yes like if you go to edit edit page right here there's a little thing called annotations and you can be like hey look says text right and that just happens in that frame and it as a as a marker - so it sticks to the marker super easy okay [Music] okay is it possible to work on more than one clip at the same time in the fusion window no well I mean yes okay so if you go to a fusion page you can go up to clips and like switch in between the clips of your timeline yeah so you can switch really easily sure does that make sense but it's not like you I mean I guess I don't know how else you would do that all right what am i using as a reference monitor right now it's just a it's just a computer monitor just because it's I'm mostly doing streaming and tutorials and stuff it just makes more sense at the moment but generally I have used like a calibrated TV before I've used a calibrated like you know wide gamut monitor and stuff before those are nice it depends on what you're working on can you make a fusion clip oh you can make a fusion clip but yeah you could make a fusion clip are you talking about like putting a couple clips like bringing a couple of clips together into fusion like this if you were gonna like like if you were gonna do some fusion work with this you could select both of those right click and say new fusion clip and then go into fusion and that would have both of those merged over each other you could do that is that yeah did I explain merge nodes yes I did but really what I said was that it merges two to generate two generated to two pieces of media basically so you don't need to put a merge on something that's in effect because that's being applied to something that's already generated if you're putting a couple things together you need a merge node right okay okay [Music] djay Press says I gotta go now but thanks for streaming hey thank you so glad you're here take it take it easy okay can you explain how to smart bin effectively yeah I mean it's really just a it's a bin that will select things based on you can you can make them like if you add a smart bin in the edit page you can adjust you can like put in all of these things that will basically search all of your media and and sort it based on certain things like okay like a clip type let's say if you just want your audio in one bin you can make a smart bin with just audio right and so that will like automatically select it it's like quick filters basically so depending on what you're looking for and how much media that you have that's that's a great way to to kind of keep things organized my son is taking TV production elective in high school and he likes it and uses premiere and he wants to know how to make a career out of this the best thing to do is just is work on it and make a bunch of projects even if they're dumb projects even if they're dumb YouTube videos or whatever just make make a million videos because the more that you make the more experience you're going to get with with the programs and the more just general knowledge you're going to you're gonna have and then and then watch a lot of tutorials and learn from people who know what they're doing hang out with people who know what they're doing that was the biggest thing for me is like I had an internship at this TV production company and I learned so much it was like I think it was I think it was like four months or five months and I learned so much like way more than I learned in in my college courses just from that internship is so good so good what is this music it's just it's just chill music yeah okay color page we're gonna do that how to edit a 1080p timeline and export in 4k so that the tube compression doesn't compress it too much you should just be able to go to deliver and under video just select a higher resolution if you're just upscaling it that's the width that's that's how you do it just do that okay color page let's do it let's do it Bingham all right guys what questions do you have about the color page somebody I forget exactly what we were what we were gonna go over other than someone said the color page confuses me and so do you just want a general kind of overview of how the color page works is that going to be helpful was there specific things hmm do you know any way to reduce the cache size of projects my videos regular end up at 300 gigabytes just from the cache oh dang that's crazy you could turn off caching unless you need it you could also if you go into properties I think under is under master settings yeah under optimize media and render cache you can select different things like you select you know a lower quality media format lower lower resolution that'll that'll help that's what I do okay [Music] could you add things like a 3d car in diffusion track it to the video motion like an After Effects element 3d yes you can do that absolutely you can do that in fusion and it's really actually amazing for that I don't have stuff to be able to do that here today I have dabbled a little bit in that but certainly certainly more than enough ability to do that in fusion how can we track something frame by frame by ourselves I mean you can most trackers whether whether it's in color or in fusion will have like a frame by frame track button like a step track button and it's usually like there's like pause and then there's track next frame or whatever which I think we have I think we have just in color let me look here and close things so if this is it and we go to the tracker yeah okay so this this button right here let me show you this button is tracked one frame forward so you could just do it that way if you wanted to and it's similar on whatever track are you doing about that answer to your question what are their specs of my machine it's a pretty old machine actually it's probably like six years old it has just a decent processor I think it's like a 4770 i7 it has 32 gigs of ram it has it's a g-force 1070 TI I think that's what I have solid-state drive it's like a decent gaming PC basically that's what it is a fusion tutorial by KC discussing comp dot length can anyone point me to where that tutorial video was yeah I saw I saw your your question about that I'm not sure exactly which one it was because I feel like I've done I don't remember which one that was I'm sorry I I can look it up later maybe get back to you though thoughts on order of notes okay an alpha mat between nodes so you're talking about like inside nodes outside notes that kind of thing right so here's how this works this is a lot more simple than it seems like it would be let's say I don't know it doesn't really matter I'm gonna grab like let's say I'll just track track her face okay I'm just do I'm just doing something to have kind of a different alpha real quick hmm it's amazing how well that tracker hangs on even though it's just crazy oh wait you can't see stuff I'm sorry ha ha ha ha oh boy anyways do you have anything special planned I don't know what would you guys what would you guys appreciate okay so if you have something like this let's say I'm not sure exactly what you're what what you're talking about but this next node if you right-click and say like add node at outside node that's gonna make a note in it in it connects this little this little line right here right and what that does is it just carries the Alpha Channel over to the other node and by default by default it flips it and it inverts it right so you can adjust that by selecting the node and going down to the key could do a giveaway or something yeah totally good maybe we will know the fusion page doesn't show what the color page does unless you do some some fanciness stream lag sorry guys it doesn't look like it's it messed up on my end all of my things look good I don't know what's a someone say give away we were talking about doing a giveaway for when I when I hit 100,000 subs that'd be cool the logistic part of color editing like what order do you do first and last sure yeah we could do that somebody was asking about tracking you waited for that question for one hour when you answered the stream lag did did you get it or no I'm so sorry on the bright side I kind of just went through I kind of derp through it here I want to show you whenever you have a node with a with an alpha like something that's limited by a window and you right-click and make an outside node all that's doing is making a serial node with the alpha with the Alpha channel connected and flipped down here in the key panel you can swap that with this little button right here so I'm in the key panel you can swap that right here and so really a an outside node is just a serial node with the Alpha connected and so if you do make an outside node and you don't want it flipped or and really if you make a serial node like let's say like this and you connect the alpha it's gonna oh my guess it doesn't come out flipped in hmm that's interesting but you can't flip it if you want to to make an outside node basically maybe it does maybe was just lagging hold on connect that yeah okay that's right I thought I was confused for a hot minute okay the corona streamline oh gosh Crona joke nice okay all right then answer your question does that make sense Ziya okay what advice do you have for using the color wheels without hardware it's hard to get accurate results sometimes but I'm not sure I want to invest the money yep yep I mean it is really hard sometimes my my my advice would be to grab it and don't look at the like don't look at the wheel just look you can look at the image and look at the scopes and you can make adjustments and just look at what the scopes do and I don't know that that's how I would do it but yeah it is really nice to have the hardware that's really nice but if you're just wanting it for that you could get something like the the tangent what's it called ripple tangent ripple which is a really nice little control surface I I have one of those I don't tend to use it that much because I used to color grade a lot of like really long like documentaries you know and it have to be done in like eight hours and so it's like two thousand shots in eight hours that's kind of like what that was really useful but now a lot of my a lot of my projects aren't quite so long so I don't use it as much someone was asking about color stuff logistic part of color editing like what do you do first and last and y tangent wave yeah there is tangent wave there's a different one called tangent ripple though it's like they're newer one so basically alpha means the rest of the video that I qualified in the outside note just flips it and sends it to the other node the Alpha from a if you limit something with a window it's going to make an alpha channel that is shaped like that window so if I make a circle that's what it's gonna make that makes sense [Music] yeah and an outside note is just that but flipped that's all order of operations okay so what I generally do when it comes to color is my first node will be the primary correction and in primary correction you do you adjust the exposure you just the contrast and the saturation basically you want to make it look pretty good like normal you want to make it look normal basically so let's grab something with like some skin tones in it because that's a little easier and so really what I'll do in this first note I'll call this primary grade most of the time this is how I do it pri um for primary and then you guys can't see my camera a bit did you do move this up here it's a little easier to see so I'll grab the lift I'll usually start with the lift and I'll try and make black things black that's the first thing and then it'll tweak out and everybody will die there's not really a whole lot of black there's a little bit maybe right here that should be black and so I'm gonna maybe turn on extense in my parade a little bit that might help and bring up that just so I can kind of see her backpack thing which i think is like right here on the on the scopes and I'm going to try and bring that closer to black something like that maybe alright and then I'm gonna boost up my gain to make that closer to white and it depends on what it is like this part in her jacket should probably be closer to white this stuff up here should probably be pretty close to white I don't usually like to push it all the way up to 1023 somewhere between 896 and 23 it's about right and then you want to make sure it's balanced which it looks pretty balanced but I could probably grab my gain and just balance that out a little bit and same with the black it's probably it's probably okay for now so I don't think you can enable audio infusion guys I don't know if there's a way to do that right now sorry I wish I knew so that's primary and let's see I guess I also want to saturate it so I'll just go to saturation usually just usually just roll up a little bit on saturation until it looks good by eye you could also check it on the wave or on the vectorscope and if you hit extents make vectorscope a little brighter you generally don't want skin tones to be over like halfway to this red in my in my experience so somewhere somewhere in there is probably about right and if it looks good to your eyes that's probably probably pretty good you can always go back and change it it's something like that that's usually what I'll do in the primary so it's just making it look pretty good then I'll make another serial node and I'll label that curve that's usually what I do is have a curve and what this does is just make things pop a little bit it's a really subtle curve to make just kind of take put some clarity into this alright and it's just a little S curve something like that and I'll literally just make that willy-nilly first and then I'll look at the the image and move that around to where it looks good I don't want it like way up like this because it's blowing out her face I just want it tasteful right just nice and subtle you don't need to go crazy something like that now here it is without and here it is with it it just adds a little bit takes away kind of that muddiness those are usually usually my first my first two nodes then all these secondaries so this is like fixing problems or doing creative things like let's say okay I don't like that blue for whatever reason you don't like that blue in her and her jacket you could go to maybe Hugh versus Hugh and I'm just gonna select this blue and I'll widen that out maybe a little bit something like this you want your curves usually to be pretty wide pretty gradual and what this does is remap the hues of things based on the current hue and so you can adjust this is hubris the saturation hit Hugh vs. Hugh is what I'm after kids there we go so like maybe you want that more teal right you can kind of boost that up that's a nice secondary right something like that so this would be secondaries if you wanted to you could make those all hey that's a little that's a little that's a little bug I found I think is renaming that node makes it makes it lock up that's interesting I wonder what that is I have not experienced that I wonder if that's in the new and the new beta hmm or the new version not the new beta any reason why tutorials go to the RGB mixer to add saturation I think technically it's maybe a little bit cleaner I think that's why people like that III honestly I'm not sure I I have never done it that way there's probably a fancy reason to do that but more nerdy people know that than I do okay okay since apparently I found a bug I'm gonna close this and come back real quick what would you do if there wasn't any black great or white in your shot how to use the gain and lift then you'd kind of have to do it by eye that's what's frustrating if there isn't anything that's black or white what you'd probably do is find a shot that does have black or white in and color correct that make that look good and then match that shot that doesn't have black or white to that shot does that make sense so like if there's a wide shot and there's like a black and white poster in the background and then there's the close-up shot you would grade the wide shot where you do have that reference and then match the shot where you don't have the reference to it that's what I do I always forward your crash course to newcomers thank you for doing that of course thank you so much that's awesome what are the best ways to deal with film with clipped highlights when trying to make something look filmic it depends on how clip they are I mean if they're clipped to where it just doesn't look good it's never going to look good if it's something like the sky is really bright because just you're exposing for your subject right like if this were blown out you probably just live with it you can also adjust you can probably do some adjustment in these curves and and kind of adjust the this little part right gosh you can't see it I'm sorry guys you could adjust these curves so I'm just talking about this guy right here you can adjust these curves and kind of change how that those highlights roll off you know if it's one specific part you could do that same thing in a new node and limit it with a window on just the part that's overexposed that's a that's a good way to do it yeah okay so secondaries and then what I do is maybe add a parallel node for other secondaries and the reason I do that is because I don't want my secondaries to like clash with each other right so if I'm introducing like a different color in one of my secondaries and then I have another secondary that takes down the saturation of like the Blues I don't want it to mess with the other stuff that I'm doing basically and so I won't make a serial node because I don't want that to flow into that other thing that I'm doing it can I want to do it all at once and kind of just balance it all out that's why you would use like a parallel node so you know stuff like maybe we'd grab these trees let's say yeah let's do let's do a hue/saturation I grabbed these trees maybe saturate them more right grab the hue and again maybe make it maybe make it blue or something good even make it more like fall ooh boy we get crazy now you know so you can adjust kind of the background there so that's your secondaries right and then after that is generally where I put like the look right and you could also do this again in a an adjustment layer over your edit page but your look generally will go after all of that stuff right and that by that I mean like a stylistic great so like let's say it's it's something like this this kind of thing where we have maybe a certain saturation we're like the darker parts are desaturated you know you'd have got that certain kind of look there and then you can turn that off and on and see what just your normal looking good-looking footage looks like and then you can put your look on that's that's generally what I do is something like that so it's primary make everything look pretty good a curve and you could probably put the curve in the primary if you wanted to but that just clarifies things that just makes sure that when I put that curve on it I just it's kind of more of a thing like I want to make sure that everything's flowing into that curve that's why it's another node and then your secondaries often in a parallel node and then you're look over everything okay did that help that help I forget even who asked that yeah but did that help okay how to cut a clip in fusion um are you talking about like just to make it shorter in general because like if if you just want your comp cut you probably do that in the edit page right and so like if you want it cut shorter like this you do that and then go to fusion and you can actually go back and forth right and so if you want this shorter you can still go back to the Edit Page and cut it and go back to fusion you could do that if there's like another clip over it you can you can't adjust it in the keyframes I believe I'm probably gonna mess this up but let's say we have this over it this media over it right I think that you can go to keyframes and you can kind of adjust where things happen and you can kind of make your cuts there so you can actually kind of do a little edit there which that's probably a really good not a great way to do an edit but you can kind of move things around in the keyframes panel sorry I keep trying to get my camera out of the way okay all right where would you put your power window to brighten the face you'd put it on the face do you want to explain more what you're talking about I'm sorry not trying to troll you it's kind of funny though I had to take it I had to take it maybe you could add a little bit of glow to the sky so it wraps around the mountains yeah totally good yep any trends in color grading you find interesting I think it's I think it's fun that a lot of movies are getting a little bit more extreme with their color grades because there's a lot of movies that are just pretty subtle but you know there's a lot of like kind of more extreme looks and stuff which i think is cool I think it's cool to have fun like that I think you can be overdone and can look cheesy pretty quick but it depends on the story like you you always want to have a reason to color great something a certain way you know okay [Music] Oh in the node order okay sorry I was just like way that would go in secondaries I would think I would think I'd go in secondaries yeah so if we had this I would make that like right here if you want to brighten her face I got you good though oh boy it was great yeah to brighten her face to do something like that her face is already pretty bright but you know what I mean that's where that would go I would say okay let's see somebody asked okay working with raw can you change the color temperature and raw development settings but you can also change the color temperature below in the primary wheels which one is better than the other it's better to do that in raw if you were fixing it right like if if you just have your color balance off you like your white balance off it's better to fix it in raw for sure if it's a creative thing you could probably do it in either and no one would care or notice that's my that's my thought how do you animate or adjust colors for a long take like when it changes more than usual there's a couple ways to do that let's see let's find one that's a little bit longer here's a little bit long here here's a great example look at that this one doesn't change a whole lot other than that flare but yeah maybe we'll do something like this here's how you would generally do it right let's say she goes from really sunny to like incomplete shadows right and this this clip is awesome and it's really well exposed and everything but let's say you have like a part that's really bright let's say something like this right and you have your you have your like your general like grade for this this part of the clip right let's say I don't know something like this boom and you really like it let's say I'm kind of butchering this but you'll get the idea and then you want to adjust that like it looks okay right here let's say but you want to adjust it for here where it looks crazy what I would do is I would make a grade in one node for one part so this is like the bright grade and then when it's darker you could turn this node off and or you could just keep this on I guess and then you could boost it up who is that gonna mess stuff up I think it might yeah never mind sometimes I get confused with stuff guys but yeah you can turn this off and like do a different grade right for when it is darker and then you can animate in between them and and the way that you would do that is in the key palette right here you can it you can animate this gain and so you can click on like color corrector to and have that fade in right there but when it's really bright let's say if you don't like this you can move back and forth and kind of adjust your gain like okay I don't want it on there but here I want it on and so you can animate that throughout the shot right boom and you could do the opposite on this other corrector if you wanted to there's also ways that like that I've done before to where one one node will control the other node basically like you could probably can you do this no you probably can't but you can basically do the opposite on this node right so let's say this is gain at one and then this one is gain at zero right and you could fade although it might be kind of janky this might be kind of a janky way to do it but the idea is that you fade in between nodes that's the idea so that didn't really work super well but I have done stuff like that before where you'll have like this is kind of a weird example where you'll have like a like I graded this like huge long tracking shot it was like a nori cam shot going through this huge house and there were different rooms with different lighting and stuff and I basically just had a a node for each room and then I just animated the the key output game on every on every note throughout it you could also you could also go back to your edit page and just clip it just cut it right there it's a little bit Messier to do that you could do that and then just fade it and so if like you start out in the sunshine and then you go down into the the shade you could grade the shady shot grade the sunshine shot and then just fade them in between and there's nothing wrong with doing that and edit either I'm sorry that was a really like complex way to say it but yeah generally generally would do your do your adjustments either in separate clips or in separate notes and then fade those yeah is this a good editing software yes it's excellent editing software okay cutting is dissolved as the way I've done it yeah totally that's great could use a parallel mixer and animate maybe yeah is a better practice to change in raw because clipping highlights remain pure white instead of becoming warmer colder but if you take an eyedropper for an example you'd have to manually take the numbers from below yeah yep is it possible to nerd to merge nodes to reduce GPU memory it's not gonna matter a ton that kind of stuff isn't gonna it's not gonna affect it so too much I wouldn't worry about it it where you really get into GPU memory is stuff like where you're you're doing like noise reduction or like open effects and stuff like that can you have a clip with one grade and the same clip down the timeline with another grade yeah yep that's not a problem at all no each clip is individual even if it's from the same source yeah it has to do with the clips on the timeline I'm off thanks Casey perfect thing to do in quarantine hey thank you so much guys thank you guys I'm gonna be on here for maybe another 15 minutes ish so what other questions do you have I would love to try and get as much through as much as we can we've been talking a lot about color we talked a little bit about fusion but anything anything you guys want to know I will do my best if I know it do you explain it and if I don't I'll just say I don't know it which is a lot of things could there be problems using multiple lots on one clip especially really compressed footage yep definitely definitely could be let's our nuts are really great to use at the end at the end of your your pipeline like on the last node because they will clip your colors so they don't keep them you can't adjust it kind of bakes in the color sort of what's the best way to manage audio in the Edit Page I found that my audio channels and video channels are always out of sync when I start dropping music and sound effects in the voice on top of voice tracks I haven't had a lot of trouble with that one thing do you mean the cut page because I've had problems with that in the cut page because it links the audio and the video together and doesn't really show you that they're linked together but but yeah it should be should be okay one thing also is that you can use this button right here check this out this button right here is position lock so if you're just adding a bunch of like audio you can position lock stuff you can still select things I think you can even you might even be able to it yeah you can even trim things but you can't move stuff around so anytime that you have some audio and you're wanting to add music and stuff what was it going crazy what's up maybe you can't drag it in when it's position locked oh I know what's that do I know what's up oh there it goes oh boy lost its dang mind okay so yeah you can position lock and keep all of your stuff right where it is and then you can just add more audio tracks that's a good way good way to do it if you ever make use of groups with grading I used to a lot but now I tend to use either an adjustment layer or a or a shared node what color is red probably ask Google I was almost installing Wow then I see this gladly didn't install it nice chance to look into the new public Foley library they made available a 16-point - no I haven't but that's awesome I heard that they were thinking about doing that that's cool that they did I I somehow missed that biggest benefits of the studio version versus the free version for me the biggest benefit is this right here it's um now I can't move my stuff here hold on the biggest benefit is noise reduction that's the biggest benefit noise reduction in resolve is the bomb it's it is worth the price if you have toys e footage that is the V homerun in my opinion yep there are other things in the studio version there's like a shared workflow that you can do where you can share it over a server which I been wanting to try out but I haven't gotten to try out very much and then there's you can render higher resolutions there's things with like stereoscopic stuff there's a few more open effects like some of the fancier ones the ones that are really flashy will come with the studio version but for me the biggest thing is a noise reduction that's the one that you actually use all the time like the other things are cool but it's like oh yeah that's fun in one time in my whole life I'm going to use that random awesome open effect you know what I mean unless you have a specific type of work that you do all the time that happens to be perfect for like you know deleting people from a shot and that kind of thing is it possible for two people to work on the same project yeah you can through the studio version is there a way to know the file size when I export are you talking about like the the render it should show you I think it will show you when you under file yeah under file I'll say disk space currently used this space used after render and so it'll tell you how much of a how big of a difference it's gonna make does somebody you know when seventeen is coming out no I don't know they usually put stuff out at least in beta in around NAB so I would assume it's around NAB but I don't know of course NAB isn't really happening but around that same time you know which is in the next few weeks I have no idea use neat video for noise reduction not resolve here's the thing mr. Samba I would say that and I did use neat video with the non studio version of resolve for a long time the resolve noise reduction is just as good and it is way faster like insanely so much faster it's insanely faster yeah how would you correct the aspect ratio on this clip I mean get rid of the black bands what I'd probably do there I mean there's you could either make your project that aspect ratio or you could just zoom it up so you could grab this clip and a clip that makes sense and just zoom it because at some point you're going to have to either cut off the sides you're gonna have to do that at some point you might as well have control over it right there I don't think there's a reason to not do that the warper feature was a big deal for me in the studio version as was improved upscaling and quality boost yeah okay there you go and for different people different workflows you know what I'm saying how could you okay are there any rules for cinema exports like how deep black and white should go you'd probably have to look that up I don't know that off off of my head I'm sure there's all kinds of recommended settings and stuff how do you to color chroma key are you talking about key to different colors out like of an imagery talking about like like what what exactly do you mean by that Mike I'm super new to da Vinci from premiere as their way to click on a clip and open it in fusion or color directly from the timeline like always open the selected clip when changing tabs it does that automatically Alex so like whatever clip you're over if you click on fusion that's what opens up in fusion if you're over this clip in color it'll open up in color they all it resolved shares a timeline throughout it and so you're always working on the same clips in the same timeline there's no round-tripping at all which is you know coming from premiere it's it's strange but like once you get it you're like oh dang that's rad know what I'm saying is there halo are in the background yes my friend my friend I love halo my friend drew a bunch of halo stuff shared projects was another reason I paid for the studio version but never really figured it out turns out to be a lot more complicated yeah I think you need to have like a separate server and stuff it is the thing is it's a lot less complicated than similar things like that but it's still more complicated than you know probably a normal person would be super into you know I would like to tackle that and make a tutorial on it soon because that that is really interesting to me and I think could be really good for like smaller post houses and stuff yeah yeah Justin you can use ten bit and twelve bit in the free version as far as I know I'm pretty sure a lifetime license is so nice yeah totally man Casey Hill is my fave too one other reason I follow you hahaha that's amazing that's amazing so cool definitely would pay if I didn't buy the camera after seeing benchmark between free versus premium nice that's awesome yeah I haven't really looked that up a lot a lot of people ask me I should probably do some more research on all that but do you know how to upscale footage in resolve yes I'm trying to think if there's a fancy way do you like have a specific upscale filter and stuff that might just be in your settings it might just be under image scaling yeah resize filter yeah that's why so generally what you do is if you would set your timeline to like 4k if you had 1080p footage and then you would mess with these settings so smoother bicubic bilinear sharper and depending on what you're scaling it will probably look better through it throughout these I imagine sharper is probably the better option but then you would input scale entire image to fit it's funny how resolve scales things because like half the time you add stuff to a timeline you don't even know it's different resolution unless you're paying attention right you should add it whereas like Premiere or something usually it's like it's blown up and then you have to mess with it and so it's made so that you can work fast but if you aren't paying attention you're like oh I just downscaled all my footage and I didn't really didn't really want to you know anything I missed from Premiere really the only things that I missed for a while was warp stabiliser and adjustment layers but resolve has those now so like last year I would have said that but no I don't think so the the things in resolve or the the amount of awesome work that you can do in resolve in my opinion greatly outweighs small things that aren't in premiere or that are in premiere that aren't in resolve you know like I just I I've not missed premiere at all like oh we still have a premiere subscription just because we have I used like illustrator and Photoshop and stuff and I just never open it because I don't need to it's it's always more complicated and takes more time to do something in Premiere than resolve pretty much pretty much all the time and there's certain things that you need to like re relearn how to do or figure out you know exactly how resolve does at vs. premiere but you can usually google it and it doesn't take too long can you tag your render with the correct gamma to be able to view in QuickTime without a gamma shift oh man I'm not sure on that I know viewing in QuickTime always has some kind of gamma thing that everybody's frustrated about including myself but yeah I'm not sure on that I'm sorry I would love to know that is it possible to share a color grade between projects yes I'm trying to think if there is a way to do that live I don't think there is but you can do something like if you make a great here like you can you can save it as a still and put it in a power grade and so like if I say new power grade album I can do you know a grade that I like here let's say oh man this is the greatest possible look all right the world's greatest look it's amazing everybody everybody was worried about how awesome it looks and and they're intimidated okay they're intimidating about how awesome this looks and you grab that still to your power grade you can grab that in any project that you open so if I if I make a new project let's say okay save this make it really fancy thing like new project one I can grab this in this new project because it just lives there it's nice it's a good time Photoshop Blackmagic needs the Photoshop type programs the only major advantage Toby has over resolved for now as better audio to but not vastly better i I would agree that's that's about right who knows they might be working on Photoshop thing that'd be sick I'm new to dementia resolve which tips can you give me about cinematic color grading how to mask well color with color picker about color theory really the the biggest advantage I can give you is to do it a lot if you want to get better at color grading do it a lot and play with stuff and compare shots that you really like to the shots that you have in most cinematic color grading when you're talking about oh I want to color great something that look cinematic it has to do with how you shoot it and how you light it so you can't make something that just looks nasty like none of this looks nasty it's it's shot well but like if something doesn't look good you can't color grade it to make look look good it's just going to look like a color graded nasty shot okay that said make sure that you're black that things in the shot that are supposed to be black are black things that are supposed to be white or white I do have a tutorial on basic color grading it's called though I think it's color grading for noobs something like that and and the the thumbnail says watch this first okay so do that because that is that is a great way to just kind of get started can you just save the great as a let you could I don't think I mean you could if it's something that you want to maybe send to somebody else who doesn't work in resolve but I let will not keep things like masks and and windows and all of that stuff all the fancy stuff that resolve does other than basically remapping the colors a lot won't do so a power grade is much much more powerful much more powerful than a lot and it doesn't limit your colors either it doesn't cut off your like highlights and stuff like a low will can you export two animated gif I don't think you can directly out of resolve have you messed with aces I've tried it with bad results after reading online they say gh 5 and other cameras are not compatible and don't have an ID T or something like that I have I have messed with aces one thing that I like that is essentially the same thing is resolve color management definitely do some looking into that there are people that are much more into much more nerdy than I am who've messed with resolve color management and had good results I don't generally like to use that just because it's I usually have different cameras and it's like it's it's doing stuff behind the scenes that you can't control and I like to have everything kind of in front of me and be able to control it right and so I'd rather have everything in in nodes that I can see rather than having it do something behind the scenes transforming something behind the scenes that said if you're not super into color grading and you're like man it would be really great to just have this footage look good and I just don't want to mess with anything I believe I believe that you can set your resolve color management to be a different color space and I Akash I haven't looked at that oh yeah why RGB color managed and you can select this to you like this is probably I think this is s log two you could save and now I believe I believe you can make it look better by doing that but I forget there's probably something I need to turn on that I'm lost on so I haven't I haven't used that a ton but it is really cool I know there's this color science there's something I missed there's something I missed hold on mm-hmm there is a way that you can make this which I I forgot how to do but there's a way to make that so it basically does a transform on your colors to make your shots look good and like make make it look good basically automatically and it what it's doing is just interpreting the colors differently and that's essentially what aces is as far as I know it's very similar but I like to have things kind of where I can see them all cuz I like you know like I I don't want it to be like oh why does it look like that why is it treating the the image this way I just want to be able to know like exactly what I'm doing so that's the only thing how does the data levels setting affect the render it depends on the codec sometimes you hit audio Auto and it doesn't make a difference sometimes you pick one or the other it doesn't make a difference I get frustrated with all of that so you'd have to look it up for for the codec that you're using I use I generally will export either cinah form or like just direct to h.264 for Sinha forum and my experience it doesn't matter it doesn't it doesn't seem to matter what's your preferred to export setting for h.264 as though you were exporting your current timeline if you're just like rendering for YouTube I like to go to the YouTube pre the the preset and then just switch back to custom and that sets everything to the YouTube preset but then I like to where it says restrict to 10000 I make that like 30,000 if it's 1080p you just want to make sure if you're gonna upload to YouTube or something that you're giving it enough data to actually look decent how would you make a signature appear as if you were writing it on the screen you could do in infusion you could make like a let's see if I remember exactly how to do that essential basic aliy what you would do is you would have like okay let's say this is your signature as your text let's see if I can do this real quick and let's do you obviously I mean obviously you pick Comic Sans right because that's that's the school font alright and if you're gonna write this on I think that you I think it's mask paint it's what you usually use mask paint and if you put mask paint on that and disconnect it you can select this one right here which is polyline stroke and draw a stroke like this of course I messed it up but whatever anyway and then you you trace it basically you trace it in the order that you would normally write it just like that and maybe we'll do text like this boom all right you do that and then under stroke controls you animate right on and make sure that your brush is big enough something like that I'll let you guys see this and then this right on thing this slider you can animate that and it will write it on so it's essentially that but then you mess with you mess with your mask and you mess with the size and all of that stuff to where it actually looks good but that's the idea of writing something on is you use mask paint and use it as a mask over text in infusion so that's how I do it explaining the codec options and the export page most of those formats and codecs I've never even heard of until I saw them there yeah I do have some exporting videos but they don't go through every single one of them mostly because I mean I know I think I know what most of them are but I haven't I don't really use them so I'm kind of like yeah why why would I talk about something I don't really use a whole lot that's kind of where how I approach things is if it's useful to me and if I have experience with it I'll share it but if I don't I'm kind of like you know I don't really want to talk from a place with like zero Authority you know what I mean does resolve every go on sale not really now yeah in the current version it should work with all future versions yeah yeah okay how do you manage time between projects what's your secret to start and finish Paula can you can you kind of explain what you mean by that do you mean like just like efficient workflow or like how I work fast or something alright thank you so much hey you're welcome I found your channel yesterday because I'm trying to leave Vegas Pro and its problems behind and start working with resolve but there are a lot of things that I just can't figure out for example is there any way to create presets for zooms and crops in the inspector let's see I think you can I could be confused I get I get I get sometimes confused like with Premiere and stuff because it because yeah you can do that in Premiere I don't I don't know if there's a way to do that specifically I don't think so but you could do something like yeah I don't think you can do that as far as I know does anybody know if there's a an easy way to do that I mean you could certainly like kind of have a weird but like workaround like save a project or like save something with a specific crop or a specific thing and then copy and paste the attributes because you can always like copy something like if this one let's say is cropped right and zoomed you can hit ctrl C and then go to the next thing right click and say paste attributes and you can select the attributes that you want and that'll apply so you can do that but as far as like keeping them in like an effects library I don't think you can you can save something in the inspector is a preset maybe mm can you I always get confused because I remember like stuff from working in premiere yeah it's interesting you can work on color tab and timeline node to make universal crop zooms oh yeah you could I guess you could do that through color you could do like a power grade and do that like with a with like a node color or with a node like you could go here let's say let's grab one of these you could do something like select node sizing and zoom it like this and then grab a still and save that in between projects and then apply this still and it would apply that you could do it that way that's kind of a janky way to do it but yeah you could totally do it that way maybe in an adjustment clip yeah you probably could so like you're talking about if you made if you made like an adjustment clip like this yeah and this thing's like tweaking out today hmm hates me today yeah that's fun you can save a transform node preset infusion yeah I could do that to that yeah there's a few different ways there's just not like a you could save it as a preset effect that seems I I would I would bet that that's that's coming down the road though cuz I bet a lot of people want that you could do that an adjustment clip put it in smart Ben yeah that's probably the best way to do it apparently I can't show you adjustment clips right now because it's it's mad at me it's very frustrated I'm trying to show you show you things do you ever pay yo attention the warning sign at the bottom no no I just I just ignore it I just ignore it just ignore it that's fine I probably should but here we are okay good guy down working with proxies and resolve the absolute easiest way to work with proxies is with optimized media optimized media is the bomb you guys so like let's say I have all these clips right and I want to and they're they're crazy like they're raw okay I can select them and right click and say generate optimized media and that will generate proxies right and you can adjust what it does through I think Masterson's optimized media and render cache you can you can tell it what to make right optimized media format you know you could do dean x HR works fine sena forum whatever so you can make it like real small like a quarter of the size right and you could right-click select whichever ones you want to make proxies ever right click and say generate optimized media and it'll take a while to render just like rendering proxies and at any point does but then it links all of these to those proxies to that optimize media and all you have to do is go to playback up here and say use optimized media if available and then if you don't want to use your proxies anymore you unclick that and it automatically it instantly like instantly loads all of it back it's like you don't even notice it's absolutely the best workflow ever man it's so good so good and then what's cool is even if you forget to click this off like all the renders in the deliver page they default to just not use that optimized media they'll switch it out they'll use your real media is that cool like that's such a good way to do it I'm just I'm really impressed by that any issues working with multiple monitors I usually use the one monitor layout I don't really like the two-layer to monitor layout I've had problems with that yeah you show me how to sort media and the media pool yeah up here in the upper left-hand corner this button you can sort it by any of this stuff so like okay clip name and then you can just deselect and then select them all and then just drag them to the timeline and it will go in that order if if only if only my system was actually letting me drag stuff to the timeline it's very grumpy at me today I probably need to update video drivers that's probably part of it but yeah that's how it's that's how it's supposed to work can you show how to sync audio from a separate mic so easy insanely easy let me see if I can grab let me see if I can grab something here okay I'll grab like my how to stream tutorial that I just put out the other day this is so easy guys let's see do I have that media oh this is oh I know what's up I know what's up I was thinking of something else here's how you do it it's it's so easy you see if I can grab I'm trying to find one that I can actually show you it's it's just about simple enough to just tell you mMmmm okay don't save okay so this is a project I was working on the other day for one of my other channels and let me see if I can make a new timeline so really all you do let me just show you because it's it's so simple it's not even worth this amount of time all you do is you select whatever footage you want to sync your audio with so this is supposed to be synced with track 1 track 11 right you select them both right click and say auto sync audio based on waveform you click on that and it thinks about it for a second and then it just switches out the audio and now this will have like legit audio like it will have it it that's that's my separate audio and it's just connected to it and you can disconnect it and stuff if you want to if you have problems but it works so well it's like PluralEyes if you've ever used PluralEyes it's like the same thing you can also do you can have it lay it out you know like I think you can use like a multicam timeline basically there's a way to like sync multiple shots with your audio and stuff pretty much just like PluralEyes it's so it's so easy it's stinkin easy man ok okay do you move your projects to an external hard drive after you've finished you move them back to an SSD if you want to work on it again I rate everything's pretty much on a raid the the project files are on an SSD on my system that's where the the the database is but those are those are tiny but all the media is on a raid and yeah I back stuff up to hard drives after I'm done generally usually like once a year or twice a year all right guys I got to get going here pretty quick I'll try and hit if you guys have any really quick questions I'll try and hit a couple more before we go do you maybe let's see I'm editing a music video for my first project and DaVinci Resolve it's a full sequence one take of girl walking its frontal follow gimbal shot and he effects it I could add besides right on effect that you could suggest man it depends on depends on your your project depends on the tone of it and everything I mean I'd have to see it and hear it and stuff you know what I mean Miguel says hey hey there Casey can you make a very detailed video on the edit tab because there aren't many videos out there explaining that and I really love the way you explain things with calmness hey thank you so much really appreciate that guys I'm gonna be working on a very detailed video series on resolve it will be for purchase but it's going to be like a master class on resolve that's what's coming down the line so if you really want to learn all the details like as much just as much craziness as much like details I could possibly explain about resolve that's where it's gonna go but I'll also have a lot of free I'm always going to keep doing free free videos but yeah if we want to do like an edit page video that that'd be cool that'd be super cool cuz I know a lot of people are just interested in that too you know which I kind of forget sometimes you know I kind of forget that because resolve used to be just a color corrector and then it kind of got edit and it kind of sucked for a while and then it actually got good and so there's so many ways that we could go and a lot of people are really into fusion too you know so I don't know as DaVinci Dino is any good or third-party Oh effects better in my opinion I've used neat video I don't know if I've used any other open effects denoise but in my opinion the the resolve denoise is absolutely insane it's so good and it's fast it will play back actually pretty well that was awesome love that stream any more in the future maybe a live grade so we can ask why questions it would that be fun yeah that'd be cool I'm not sure how much it'll cost right now I don't know can you move a picture in the borders of its crop can you move a picture and the borders of its crop you mean like kind of pan behind that kind of thing like keep the crop and then and then lippett behind it I don't I don't think you can do that without some fanciness your channel is great thank you so much John and really appreciate it yeah I guess you could do that with like an adjustment layer maybe that could be cool all right guys I'm gonna have to head out here pretty quick you guys are wonderful thank you so much for hanging out with me this has been so much fun I love uh I love kind of getting to know you guys a little more it's not really something I get to do just by like with comments and stuff and and everything so it's really cool to be able to stream guys thank you so much for hanging out with me I really appreciate it I hope you guys are doing well through all the coronavirus junk and I hope that yeah you're staying safe and hey if you have any other questions about resolve and stuff feel free to post them in comments for videos yeah I'd love to I'm planning on continuing making videos as much as much as we can yeah what's the fastest way to add a picture to a timeline you import a picture into resolve and drag it into the timeline yep just getting caught up cuz I left a bit can you add preset transitions as an effect I don't think so he add preset transitions has an effect no I I don't think you can make like custom transitions except for things like infusion where you just put it over something you know which I have a tutorial on mm-hmm anything special 400 K subs I I don't know we could probably do a giveaway maybe do another livestream I think that'd be fun maybe another live stream with giveaways that'd be fun thank you for your videos hey thank you guys so much you guys are wonderful love you guys thank you for being here so cool alright guys take it easy keep your eye out keep your eye on the channel for more more videos and I miss you and I will see you later bye [Music]
