@@Daniel_Batal That was very nice of you to do that video as an answer to a specific question. Nice work brother!

[@ExtraBulla]

To customize this effect this method is great. If you just want a circle reveal as in this demo, all you need to use is a circle wipe instead which comes stock with DaVinci I believe. Love these shorts tips! Keep 'em coming!

This is awesome, can you do a version of this but customise the shape of the hole, like them cool car edit transitions?

Yep! Maybe I’ll consider that for a future video. Maybe a live stream on custom masks?

[@4BlueXerces]

There is a transition call Oval swipe or something like that and make exact same thing but lile 3 or 4 steps less.

[@Daniel_Batal]

You’re right! But I’ve taught how to add transitions. Here I’m teaching how to animate a mask, a skill that will serve aspiring video editors in a much broader workflow application than trying to insert a transition.

Hello Daniel, could you please help me on best cinematic settings for voice recording in davinci resolve, Ex like exactly your voice in the videos 😊. Thank you

[@Daniel_Batal]

Want a total cheat? Go run your audio through this: podcast.adobe.com/enhance

[@travel_with_suriya]

@@Daniel_Batalthanks for this daniel, but i am expecting this in davinci resolve using some effects in fairlight room.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Okay, you asked for it! There is no such thing as “universal settings” for good audio. It begins with finding a mic that brings out the tonality of your voice. Everyone’s voice is different so what works for your may not work for me. Currently I’m using an Aston Spirit mic. Then you’ll want to find a good mic preamp that captures that sound well. I use the ART Voice Channel into a Roland VR-HD1 to bring it into my system. As you know, Resolve supports VST plugins which is what makes its DAW so strong. Once inside of Resolve, I use three VST plugins to dial my voice in. A Universal Audio API Vision Channel Strip for the EQ. Then into a Density MKIII compressor to lightly round out the placement and finally into Ozone 11 for a bit of AI audio mastering.

[@travel_with_suriya]

@@Daniel_Batalhey thanks for the info, but I can’t afford Aston microphone 😂, let me try with hyperx quadcast mike with settings you suggested . 🤝

[@Neechroma]

hey daniel, can you teach us how to make a colored border around an object by using the mask tool? im fairly new to davinci and in one of my videos i want to make a kind of aura around an object, but i cant find any videos teaching that

[@Daniel_Batal]

I think I hear what you’re asking. Can you give me a very specific use case?

[@Neechroma]

@@Daniel_Batal for example, in a clip of my game, my character uses their ultimate, i wanna make a colored border around their weapon

[@Daniel_Batal]

I’m going to pretend I know what an “ultimate” is. 😅 So it sounds like you want to mask out an object in your video clip and assign either a stroke or a glow to surround only that item in that clip?

[@gleiderpilot1190]

Hey, I tried tracking a fast moving plane but the tracker never works. After a few frames it just jumpes anywhere. I tried the normal tracker and the new intelligent one. Both fail. How does it work?

[@Daniel_Batal]

The tracker only tends to be as good as the footage it’s working with so at that point, you’d probably be better key framing the motion if the tracker can’t keep up

[@gleiderpilot1190]

@@Daniel_Batal yeah, it has a lot of space to crop and it is most of the time pretty centered but the tracker still fails🤷🏻‍♂️

[@s8ulravenyt823]

I use boya wireless mic for voice recording i have two mics and one receiver connected to my iphone i want to separate the voice of both mics . Both mic audio is getting stored in single track please help me out .

[@Daniel_Batal]

The problem is that you’re combining them to a single mono audio track. You either need to implement the ability to record in stereo and assign one a hard left and the other a hard right pan so you can separate them in post or record to a 2 track device.

[@saritanewatia3660]

I have a video and I want to animate just the face and not the body or any other part. Can I do that in davinci resolve. Please tell me how to do it.

Define ‘animate’ in-depth for this specific use case with extreme detail.

[@__-xp2np]

Yo that intro changed

[@Daniel_Batal]

Ha! You win! I scrubbed the vocal and had to dub in a new one quickly

[@HoundDogMech]

Don't forget to save it as a PRESET so you don't have to recreate it every time.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Actually this you can’t save as a preset because it’s not an actual transition, it’s a fusion clip. But, I suppose you could save it as a fusion clip, unfortunately then you’d lose the keyframing when you swapped to differnt footage

[@puppersissage8640]

[@sagarlode195]

Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Could you tell me how to resolve error of ( MEDIA OFFLINE ) . I HAVE ALREADY SEEN SOME VIDIO HOW TO SOLVE THAT BUT IT DIDN'T WORK, LOVE FROM INDIA❤❤

[@Daniel_Batal]

‘Media Offline’ is a result of the software not being able to identify or locate assets you’ve used or are trying to use in a project. It’s not always the same solution but if you understand the principle, you can solve the issue. Did you change the name of the original file the software is trying to access? Did you change the location of where that asset was from the previous time it was accessed by the software? Did you have the asset on an external drive and plug that drive into a different port giving it a driving drive assignment? If you know where the asset you want to use is and it has the exact same name as it does in your project, then drag and drop it back into your media pool and the software should reset the new access location.

[@sagarlode195]

Yes, ones I have changed the location of the assest but then I deleted all the assets and created a new one but the problem remains same , LOVE FROM INDIA,❤️❤️ I LOVE THE WAY YOU TALK SIR,

[@sagarlode195]

Today new update is here da Vinci resolve 19 , I have downloaded new version, let's see the problem remains the same or its solved,

[@Daniel_Batal]

Creating new ones means those assets will have different metadata. What you’ll need to do is open your project and in the Edit Page, go up to the media pool in the upper left, and choose an asset that is red with the ‘Media Offline’ issue… right click on it and select ‘Replace Selected Clip’. Then choose the new version you’ve created and it will use that one instead. If you have more than one asset in your media pool with this issue, you’ll need to do the same for each.

[@sagarlode195]

Daniel sir, it's not working at all, Still it's showing media offline, Could you please help me, I will screen share with you , It will take only two special min of your to solve this little problem, I request you sir,

[@GalibM.]

Wtf bro Capcut is like 1 sec click away from achieving that

[@sidewayseditz]

I'm pretty sure DaVinci resolve has a preset transition that looks just like this that can be applied easily between 2 clips.

[@Daniel_Batal]

There are always easy transition shortcuts. This isn’t about how to accomplish something the fastest easiest way, this is about learning how to use all of Resolve’s pages and edit like a Pro.

[@sidewayseditz]

Yeah I understand that, I think it is good to know how to use the whole software and all the pages. Doing your transition the way shown in the video also allows for more customization!

[@timoflo369]

I am pretty sure thats not what he wanted. Or at least thats not what i was expecting from the tutorial

[@HollywoodGaming-fy3vt]

Isn't there a scene transtion tool in the effects tab that does this already?

[@Daniel_Batal]

There are some transition presets you can use but you’d have extremely limited control and you wouldn’t learn more about the software functionality for editing more intensive projects. My goal isn’t to focus on learning the fastest or easiest way to do everything. It’s to help creators become better editors. If you put the guardrails up at the bowling alley you’ll never throw a gutter-ball, but that doesn’t necessarily make you a strong bowler.

[@JuanDayOff]

Can you teach us how to create Mixed Media in Resolve using vectors?

[@Daniel_Batal]

Can you give me a specific use case?

[@JuanDayOff]

There are no such available tutorials for this concept, I only imagined it But it is also the same concept as the printed and scanned mixed media, but rather than manually drawing on it frame by frame and scanning it, I want to replace it with vectors and mask for much cleaner / modern look I hope this helps

[@JuanDayOff]

I'll be using this editing style for my son's third birthday Video + Motion Graphics So the video can look more playful and child-like. I know what I want to do but I'm just now switching from Adobe environment to Resolve, this will be my first project in this program, Yeah I love to challenge(torture) myself 😂😅

[@Daniel_Batal]

Because I am unfamiliar with what ‘printed and scanned mixed media’ is, that reference unfortunately doesn’t help me. I might suggest you pass this request onto someone familiar with that reference point. Jamie Fenn might be a good place to start. He does fairly in-depth, steep learning curve Fusion tutorials for the advanced Resolve user. Super nice guy too!

Don't try to learn everything at once! Start off with only what you need right now. You can't learn everything. Not even the best editors in the world know every single feature in their native editing program. Just focus on what you need and what you want to do and it'll be very easy to learn.

This is an awesome and thanks for showing us how to do a simple mask edit, but I’m confused on how this is any different than just an elliptical transition? Is it like two different way to achieve the same goal or am I missing something?

All of my content works together as a learning experience for people who want to learn Resolve along with me. My goal is to turn anyone who wants to learn into a video editing pro.

[@TimChicaul]

@@Daniel_Batal I get you. If you learn the fundamentals before taking the shortcuts you’ll be better prepared for more complex work. I appreciate your tutorials and education brother. I came from adobe about 1.5 years ago and I never looked back. The learning curve for resolve was immense but now I’m more comfortable with it than I was with premiere and after effects. I love it. My only complaint rn is I can’t figure out how to tell resolve to look in different places for footage. I have a wedding video I’m doing rn and I have the original files on a network drive with copies on a portable SSD. I’m trying to relink the clips by telling resolve to use the ones on the portable ssd, but it keeps using the network drive clips. I even disconnected my laptop from my network, tried to relink from the SSD, and it’s telling me all my media is offline. Been having this problem for a while now. Media management was definitely easier on premiere. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

[@Daniel_Batal]

Do you have Resolve set to use proxies? I’m wondering if it made proxies in your system and the project default is assigned to find and use them.

[@TimChicaul]

@@Daniel_Batal I do work with proxies and yes I have davinci create them in app. That’s what I can’t figure out… I basically import my raw footage to a network drive and then generate proxies, right? Then I copy the proxies over to an SSD and work off of those from my MacBook with the intention of reconnecting all of the full resolution media once I’m ready to deliver. But in the case of my most recent project, I learned that those network drives are painfully slow when it comes to rendering so I wanted to copy them over to a local drive and render the project there, but da Vinci keeps looking for the network drive, even when it’s disconnected. Tried updating the paths in the settings and also changing the source folders in the media pool and nothing seems to work. I don’t get it. If I figure it out, I’ll probably make my own video on it because I’m sure others will have the same issue. Also thanks for taking the time to respond. You’re a pretty cool dude 🤙🏼

[@Daniel_Batal]

Yeah, I think you’re running into an issue with Resolve not recognizing the source files after you transfer and using the proxies. Next time instead of transferring files, try archiving your project instead of just saving it. Archiving creates a project save but with all of the source assets included.
