Hey, my name is Matt Johnson. If you are editing a video in Da Vinci
Resolve, you filmed with mixed frame rates where some clips are 24 fps,
some are 30, 61, 20, etc. And you want to edit these clips quickly
instead of bring your clips one time down here to the timeline
and then right clicking on one of them and going to change clip speed, then
changing the speed to 40%, hitting change. going through all the steps
you have to take to make it slow motion. Instead, I'm going to show you
how you can easily make all of your clips slow motion in just a few clicks,
which is going to save you a ton of time when editing. As a plus.
I have great news. This tutorial is going to work for both the free and paid studio
version of DaVinci Resolve. So regardless
of which version of the program you're using, it's going to work for you. Also, this video does have a sponsor
and it's my friends at Track Club. If you're a filmmaker
that's been looking for unique and creative songs that you can customize
to perfectly fit your videos, you got to check out Track Club. Now, what do I mean by customize? Well, here's where it gets really cool,
because Track Club is the only music licensing site out there
with a tool called Mix Lab that enables you to remix any song in their library,
removing instruments, changing the volume, enabling you to get the exact sound
that you need for your video. It's revolutionary. You can check out Track Club at the link
in the video description. Now, the first thing that you're going to want to do is delete
this old stuff that I already made. And we're going to leave this timeline
because we need to create a new timeline. So we're going to do that
by going to file new timeline or you can press control in on PC
or command in on Mac. And with this timeline,
you're going to tell resolve the frame rate that you want to use. So we just call this like frame rate demo,
and then we're going go over here to uncheck the project settings box,
go to format and here for frame rate. This is very important
because I would recommend setting your timeline frame rate to 23.976 frames per second, also known as 24 FP
because this is the most common frame rate in Hollywood and it's really the minimum speed that
you want your video to be playing back at. That said, though,
if you want to edit an expert your video at 30 frames per second
because that's what the client wants or that's how you need things to look
for a video you're creating, that's fine. Just create a timeline
with a frame rate of 29.97 FP, which is also known as throw ups. Now let's hit create
and with your timeline created, the next thing you're going to want to do is import
all of your footage that you filmed. In this case, I have three clips
that I filmed from a wedding, and it was a total mix of frame rate. So if I go up here to details,
you're going to see that some of these clips are at 24,
one of them is at 29.97 30, and the other one is at 60 frames
per second. We're all over the place. I didn't film anything at 120 or 240,
but just know that what I'm going to be showing you works for any frame rate,
including those higher frame rates. Now, I do want you to just I do have a clip here
that is at 24 frames per second as well. And this clip is not going to need
to be made slow motion because it's already
as slow as it can go at 24 amps. But the great thing about this technique
is it's going to make all of your footage slow motion, except for anything
that is already 24 Mbps. So you do not need to worry
about separating out your 24 frames per second clips from your 30 or 60
clips, etc. Now you could just
throw them all into a bin whenever you import your footage. Next,
it's time for the magic of this technique. Are you ready? Okay. We're going to go over here
to the media pool. We're going to select all these clips. I'm
going to select the first one. Hold on shift,
click to select all of them. Or you can click and drag
if you don't have your timeline here. But I'm just going to leave it there.
So it's fine. If you don't have all of your footage
in one bin and you have it in different bins for, say, different cameras
that you filmed in, that's fine. You can select all the footage in one bin,
and once you do this technique, you can then select the footage
in another bin, etc. It doesn't matter. Just know that you ideally want
to apply this technique to all of your video clips
that you've recorded. Next,
with your video clips selected here, right click on where the video clips
go to clip attributes. And that's going to open up the clip
attributes window. And here for video frame rate,
you're going to see that says 23.976. Even though the clips we selected
are all different frame rates, just know that it may say
something different, but you've selected all your clips, so it's not going to show you
all the frame rates for all the clips. Regardless, you're going to want to
select 23.976 if it is already selected. And this is important. You're going to select this checkbox,
which is going to enable resolve to know, Hey, you want all of these clips to be
at this frame rate thing when I click okay and it looks like nothing changed
with the fact that, well,
if we go over here, you're going to see that all of these clips,
frame rates are now at 23.976. And then whenever you click and drag
all of these clips down to your timeline, you're going to see that
all of them are now playing in slow motion,
except for the one that's 24. So that was 24 off.
Yes. It's not going to do anything. But if we go over here to this shot,
this was at 30 and it's just slightly slower. It's a little, little bit slower. And then we go over here to this shot
and yeah, that's pretty slow. Look at that. Yeah. Go, go. It got it going on mute that track.
We don't need to hear that. But look at that. So smooth, so buttery in one click. This is one of the first steps that I take
when editing any of my videos because it saves me the steps of making
every single individual clip slow motion. And it is going to save you a ton of time
when editing. That said, there is one caveat that I want you to be aware
of when using this technique, and that is that
whenever you make your footage slow motion in this way
resolve can get a bit confused whenever it comes
time for you to make proxies. So if you are someone that makes proxies
or if you are interested in making proxies which will make the editing process
and resolve even smoother for you, I would highly recommend
watching my proxies tutorial for DaVinci Resolve,
which will explain this issue. I'll be releasing this proxy video
very soon and once it's out I will shoot up in the corner and down
in the video description and that's going to be very helpful to you
and help you edit as quickly as possible. Also, because I want to help you
edit quickly, I've put together a course called a Wedding Film
Framework for DaVinci Resolve. This course is going to show you how to very quickly and easily
edit wedding films in DaVinci Resolve. So if you're a wedding filmmaker and
you've been considering learning resolve, or maybe you already use resolve,
but you want to learn a faster way of doing things, I would
highly recommend checking out the course. I will link to it down in the video
description In addition,
I'm giving you more things for free. I will also link down in the description
to my edit videos. Like a pro guide, this guide is going to show you
some of the most important things that I've taken years
to learn as a video editor. And like I said, it's completely free. You can check out the link
down in the video description. Thanks so much for watching. Please subscribe if you want to see more
Da Vinci Resolve tutorials in the future and have a great day.
