[@TomAntos]

Which tool in Davinci Resolve is your favorite?

[@stehume]

Im quite new to video editing really, I only have the free version but i think that if i had the studio version it would have to be Magic Mask, it has so many uses and with videos like yours we all learn more ways to use them thanks again

[@ButchDrumster]

Talking about col correction and grading hdr wheels are the best. In fusion multinode is cool. In fairlight dialogue leveler and noise removal.

[@ButchDrumster]

​@@stehumeman believe it or not magic mask is not the best tool in real life situation.

[@ArshanTravel]

So much value in just one video!

[@plumberski8854]

Great to see videos like this on best tips! Helps users in picking up things quickly.

[@TomAntos]

Glad you think so!

[@stehume]

Another great video, thank you

[@kevinl20082008]

Thanks Tom! More detail on depth map, detail color grading and beauty enhancement please.

[@korner4164]

Good follow up. Please show more about color grading

[@felixramirez]

Nice! Great information.

[@JDesignCC]

Thank you, great content! i would like to learn more about the depth mask tool and lens blur

[@TomAntos]

Okay ill work on a video about that

[@chipcurry]

Amazing stuff. I'm working in Final Cut on a 40 minute documentary. But there was one shot that I needed to remove some buildings behind a little girl as she was riding the bike - it was supposed to be 50 years ago when those buildings didn't exist. I purchased da Vinci just for magic mask, and let me tell you… It works! Yep! You produced a great video, I look forward to seeing more of what you do.

[@PanDownTiltLeft]

Great video as always, Tom. Make sure you check your shot end to end when you use face refinement. While it is one of my favorite effects, it can introduce a flicker artifact especially with eyebag removal. It also works well in combination with the beauty effect. I will use beauty with a power window to mitigate turkey neck and women love it.

[@TomAntos]

Thanks for the tips!

[@sunvalleydrivemusic]

These videos are blowing me away. Great work.

[@TomAntos]

Glad you like them!

[@thatcherfreeman]

Thanks for showing that Audio classification one. I've got a project with a few hundred audio clips and some of them are room tone and I don't really want to go through them all to figure out which ones they are.

[@TomAntos]

You are welcome! Dealing with different room tones in post can be a pain unless you just completely remove it. This definitely makes it easier

[@adsmithtx]

YES! would like to see your color Grading workflow.

[@chriss7393]

thanks for this very informative video!!!!!

[@TomAntos]

My pleasure!

[@RonaldPostelmans]

Nice tips, thanks

[@alex_montoya]

Neat Video is, though slow, much more powerful than Resolve's NR

[@NLGVIDEOS2]

Great video!

[@TomAntos]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stevenvprasad5029]

Tom....!!! Thats really a great video. Thanks alot. Would love to see more on Davinci. And how about the VFX on Davinci ? Can you make a video on that.

[@rajtelugugameryt998]

thank you sir

[@scottabergermd]

Tom, I used to follow you on my other videos and now I will be doing the same on your DaVinci Resolve. Amazing videos. Thank you for teaching us the trick regarding the facial recognition and masking with effects. You have just saved me about $20,000 on a facelift ha hajust kidding PS the hell I am. Thank you again great videos Moore on DaVinci Resolve.

[@TomAntos]

Haha thank you Scott!

[@ffward]

Exelent. thanks bro

[@TomAntos]

Welcome 👍

[@miinyoo]

These are great "what's possible videos". One thing I caught and this has basically always been true to some extent without rotoscoping. Optical flow and speed warp are phenomenal tools. Check the results carefully. Artifacts are still common in fast motion originals. It works better if you rotoscope the foreground from the background but even then it's still not always going to do a good enough job interpolating the frames. Powerful stuff.

[@benjamin7439]

Thanks for this great video. Question: Does DR have a text to speach option also? Thank you so much!

[@TomAntos]

Not yet but I heard they might be adding it. No idea when.

[@simplyPractice]

great video, i got to know a lot about Davinci from this one video! are all these features available in free version?

[@TomAntos]

Most are in the Studio version

[@ChemicalPete]

Thanks for this great list, Antos. Unrelated question, your lower thirds are awesome. Would you mind sharing where you found them? Thank you!

[@TomAntos]

I made it

[@airdronevideomakergiuseppe6850]

great

[@CandianMusicViewer]

Great work Tom! Thank you so much. The timeline recovery doesn't seem to show up for me. I have the latest paid version. Is there a setting somewhere that turns this off maybe?

[@mediatrix1111]

Hi Tom. Saw your previous video and now am looking forward for your videos. Would like you to do an in-depth teaching of the "Depth Map". Am wondering if I can do the following... Focus on a near distance object while creating a lens blur of the distant objects, and then at switch focus on a distant object and blur the near object. I have a project that I need to work on later where I have to do something like this, and was wondering how to simulate a natural focus change from near to far. I think this effect is the one I need to work with and learn to achieve that result. The footage I will be working with is an edit of 2 different clips (near and far) to make 1 seamless clip, and has good focus on both the near and far objects. Thks Tom for the helpful content. Keep them coming.

[@TomAntos]

Question. So you have two shots that are in focus and you will composit them so you have a foreground and background and want to simulate a focus pull from one shot to the other?

[@mediatrix1111]

@@TomAntos Bingo. Exactly.

[@odedia]

Excellent video and examples, thank you for that. I'm curious - clearly you can shoot and have footage in 4k (as shown in the clips), why are you uploading to KZbin at 1080p? :)

[@TomAntos]

Because often I travel while uploading videos to KZbin and my connection is so bad I can only upload a 1080p video

[@DigitalCreations2012]

Great video Tom... but please drop the intrusive music

[@HoundDogMech]

in the last month or 2 I've used Automatic Subtitles a lot. It's very good when used on a Talking Head or Voice Over. In my experiance it does not do WELL with Music picking out the VOCALS even when all there is with the Vocal seperated from the Background / Music with a voice extractor like Clear formly (GOYO). was trying to create Subtitles to use with Orson Lords' Snap Captions. JMHO. BMD needs to enhance their Voice to text to inclusd the sung word not just the well recorded Spoken word.

[@g187um]

YES man YES I want you to go in depth and show me everything ... there is no more need to ask 🤣🤣🤣

[@hdframesproductions4175]

Tom, you sold Davinci to me my friend. I am FCPX user since long long time but after watching this video, I am seriously thinking to switch to DaVinci...thank you for this video.

[@TomAntos]

I am happy to hear my video made you consider it. I switched full time to davinci resolve from adobe 6 years ago and haven't looked back sinces

[@hdframesproductions4175]

@@TomAntos Thanks my friend. The good thing is it contains all tools that we need in our post production.

[@winterwowl]

you are very cool

[@aps-pictures9335]

How much of these are in studio vs free please? Super useful vid, thanks!

[@TomAntos]

A lot. Try the free version if you aren't sure but if you enjoy using it and then wish to use the features I show in this video then upgrade to the paid version.

[@Hotinri]

please have more tutorial videos in DaVinci and depth mask tool also can you do a color grade video

[@TomAntos]

Okay. Thanks!

[@scottabergermd]

❤

[@IamS.S.I]

👍👍

[@xPocketStaff]

in Lens blur how to connect custom texture ? i cant figure out ..thx

[@phrasalsyntax]

Tom, to be honest, I think that by blurring the surfboard you ended up driving more attention to it because the brain will notice that there is something unusual in the scene: the resolution of one part of the scene (surfboard) is different from the rest, there is a lack of homogeneity in the scene, and that's not normal for the brain, so it will pay attention to it to explore what's going on.

[@chaseshooltz]

Does anyone know a tutorial or link to the transition he used at 28:58?

[@waedi73]

Your explain-videos are great but these features are not available in DaVinci Resolve regular. Only in the Studio version.

[@ereceeme]

resolve is great. These features are on the paid version which is really cheap.

[@tayinternational]

I love all those AI features but many of them really max out my M1 MacBook Pro with 16gb memory.

[@WhySoLoud]

Are you converting your vids to proxy? If so, that will definitely help. (Playback > Timeline Proxy Resolution > Half or Quarter). And Davinci always delivers full rez outputs so you don't have to remember to switch it back.

[@fazubattlecaster]

I would only point out that you only need to pay for Davinci Resolve Studio and not Davinci Resolve. The studio version is the one-time payment.

[@annebokma4637]

You shouldn't pay for studio, you should buy a speed editor or other hardware and get studio for free 😂

[@fazubattlecaster]

That is actually what I did. I have the Speed Editor.@@annebokma4637

[@FlyingCameraGuy]

Tom, what kind of computer are you using that can handle all of these AI tasks?

[@TomAntos]

In this video I used my MacBook air m2. When doing noise removal or upscale it takes a while to render but then again that happens when I use those tools on my high end desktop PC

[@FlyingCameraGuy]

@@TomAntos How much memory do you have on your Air?

[@AbdiPianoChannel]

Seriously I even forgot how to use adobe products thanks to Davinci Resolve Studio

[@BDoughly]

oh and its a longer list than this 😁

[@chriss7393]

Where can we watch your film?

[@TomAntos]

It will premiere on my website since I don't think youtube will allow the full version because of the new rules about violence and nudity. I will be releasing a few more videos about the making of my film and then announce the premiere.

[@edy5082]

but yet they forget to censor more important things...@@TomAntos

[@HoundDogMech]

DaVincis' 'Create Subtitles from audio' Needs to look if Subtitles have been Corrected before (Transcribe Audio) is generated. Reason Transcribe Audio makes ALL the same Mistakes that (Create Subtitles from Audio) made in the first place. BMD are U Listening.

[@CO8848_2]

These things are kinda insane.

[@TomAntos]

Yes some of them are

[@Preacherski]

Tomek gdzie twój film można oglądać?

[@TomAntos]

Muj film o rekinach jesz nie miał premiery na internecie. Będę tutaj ogłaszał jak będzie premiera na mojej stronie tomantosfilms.com

[@Preacherski]

@@TomAntos Polskie Szczęki z językiem Hispanskim? I’m in.

[@4sightfilmsLLC]

Here is the thing. At its core it is a color grading suite, specializing in finishing a professional image. And your points illustrate that wonderfully. But I feel when its comes to editing it is NOT intuitive or faster than FCPX, Premiere or Avid.

[@TomAntos]

It was mainly a color grading suite. But since 2020 it's a full editing suite that actually allows editing much more efficiently. Specially in the cut page. Having worked only in Avid in the 90s and then in Adobe Premiere since 2004 its I really prefer editing in Resolve right now.

[@4sightfilmsLLC]

@@TomAntos As an Avid/Premiere user you know very well what your options are. And I’m happy its a good fit for you, but I wonder for others if it wasn’t free if they would have made the commitment to convert over to Resolve as their main editing tool. Was Resolve intuitive for you, or was there a learning curve and in the end as an overall package it works for you? I just don’t find it intuitive to edit with.

[@jemadv1594]

After watching hundreds if not thousands of YT videos. I realized your music is preventing me from watching. Your commentary is required to follow along but the music. . . Hope this helps you with future projects. Thank you ❤

[@fernandobonenfantphotography]

it doesnt look at all like if it was shot in slow mo lol . the ghosting in his legs is ridiculous hahaha

[@ButchDrumster]

No need in face refinement. Just use blur. Easier and that's what pros use.
