Automatically Remove Silences?! MORE Languages?! They did it!

[@MarcoSchreiber]

I definitely talked about Big foot and Windowsshit 😂! In general, the Transkription is pretty good what I have tested so far. So yeah, well done Blackmagicdesign 😊

[@daysandwords]

Yeah, as people have probably figured out, you could just export the subtitle and then paste that into a decent automatic translator. It's not ideal but it's still better than writing them out by hand.

[@GKhan-un7py]

😂😂😂😂

[@weplay4ukraine]

☺️

[@IoRisparmio]

Outstanding on where blackmagic is heading with Davinci. A great feature would be to automatically recognize duplicates in order to let you chose wich take of a particular sentence in the scene you want to keep

[@NerdSyncProductions]

Remove Silences is such a great feature! I honestly think it should be a standalone feature on the Cut page to help people get a rough edit going before moving to the Edit page. But this is a good start with it!

[@MrAlexTech]

Yeaaaah totally agree. Hit the one button, specify a few criteria (length of gap, buffer etc) then it just does the rest for you! Would be handy.

[@cabralGZ]

PERFECT! Finally Portuguese! Thanks for the video, Alex!

[@endorphinex]

Thanks for the video Alex. I always learn useful information from your videos.

[@RexxReviews]

Love the direction they are moving with removing Silence. I use a software called "Recut" for this that works freaking great for removing silence and if they can get to that level it would be a gamechanger to having inside resolve.

[@VideoStoryCreator]

Thanks for the update Alex! Finally, the reason to get the Studio version is growing stronger! I'm going to hold just a tiny bit more, until they provide the ability to control the size of the gaps. I would also like to see them automatically remove oohs, aahs, and uuhms. Thanks for all you do Alex!

[@MrAlexTech]

The Oohs, Ahhs and Uuhms feature would be great! Not so much for 'adult' film editors though, they need the opposite 😄

[@BeardedTechGuy]

Now all I need is for inhaling and other breathing sounds being detectable automatically so I can cut them out / lower the volume just for them!

[@BestAudiovisualTricks]

A program called ‘Recut’ does give you control on the length of those silence gaps Alex if you are looking for more control. You can then export to a XML timeline (with and without those silence cuts included), or to brand new video file without the silences.

[@TheFilmFella]

Upgraded to Studio after your first beta update for subtitles and transcriptions. Just seemed like a game changer to me! I reckon what would be handy is the ability to change colours of the subtitles for certain words or even different speakers (currently changing even a highlighted word changes the colour for all the subtitle text), as well as letting us use animation on them for them to pop in/up etc. Likewise having an option to change certain subtitle text to different font styles or bold/italics that doesn’t effect the whole subtitle set would be cool too. Overall though I’ve been loving playing around with Studio since I got it, keep up the awesome videos!

[@TheFilmFella]

Moving away from the AI in the subtitle and caption area, I’d also love for them to expand into AI for EQ and other areas of audio. I always find I’m doing a lot of guess work as someone relatively new to video and content creation, so having an idea what my voice should be recorded like with an AI EQ would be super handy.

[@CornNation]

I think this sounds like something worth buying as well. I haven't used it yet, but I want to make my videos as accessible as possible and this seems like the easiest way to do it well.

[@aliciafernandez3008]

Another good news. That's so cool More languages included (Spanish, yeah love ❤️ it. Thanks Akex Keep the good work, Blackmagic design.

[@appads]

Oh, man! When I saw your title, I thought this feature was going to automatically generate room tone for gaps in your audio (remove silence). That would be sweet! Great vid as usual!

[@AndreSjoberg]

Also: I bet they, at some point, will release a «remix feature» allowing for pasting a text that then goes through footage previously transcribed that will make an edit based on clips from that footage, cutting and pasting footage with words and phrases that match - you just wait and see ;)

[@JakeyWakey]

please and thank you

[@AndreSjoberg]

Being a windows user myself I still laughed out loud at the Windowsshit Resolve - Black Magic is bringing their a-game on this one it seems, and knowing them they will *crush it* in coming updates expanding on this :D Soooooo want to install the beta but setting up a separate install … ain’t nobody got time for that

[@OLucasQueJoga]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS I'm shouting happiness now! I was in trouble with the process with my content creation because of how hard was the process of adding captions in Portuguese to my videos! I post nearly 18 videos a week and using a 3rd party app just for subtitles added multiple hours to the process! I an't express how much time this will spare me!! OH MY GOD!!!!

[@financetavielibre]

I agree with you. Davinci Studio did the job halfway. We should add a parameter that allows us to say what maximum duration of silence we accept. Davinci studio leaves far too much silence, and has made something less functional than some free tools. It's very disappointing to see that one paid tool does the job after the others and less well.

[@Graham_Rule]

Thanks. +1 for some way to choose the length of silences to leave in. Mostly I'm editing recorded lectures which have a very different pace from a typical youtube video. And very often those pauses are where my brain is trying to catch up with what the lecturer has just said. But great for removing the time while I was running around trying to get a roving mic to the next person wanting to speak. Now if it could automatically remove all the "not so much a question as a point I'd like to make in a 'question' nearly as long as the original lecture ...", that *would* be great. 😁

[@abi219]

Great new features 👌 with the exception of translate 😂😂oops 😂Thanks Alex 👍

[@malz]

I'd love to use the silences removal tool on its own even on a timeline. When I record myself for a video, my first thing to do is always scroll through the whole recording and remove silences to be able to compare takes and pick the best ones.

[@DennisSchmitz]

I stopped using Windowsshit Resolve a while ago. Since early 2022 I've been a happy Macshit Resolve user.

[@MrAlexTech]

Ah I'm a Windowshit AND a Macshit user! Havent used Shitux in ages though 😄😆

[@Crimsonland1]

Thanks bro. I need to try this asap. I have so many live streams worth chopping up and if this works I'mma be one happy camper. You da man.

[@BackroadExploits]

Awesome update. Love it. Thanks for making us aware!

[@Not-Only-Reaper-Tutorials]

FANTASTIC there are the languages I do use! Now they should add: - Edit Page: A search field for the FONTS (there is not way to filter the fonts now) - Delivery Page: A bigger and more usable DESCRIPTION field. Because the current oen is just a cr***p. It seems it was made by somebody doesn't know YT at all ... - Removing the silences in audio with ripple removal (if enabled) also without having the auto-transcription enabled.

[@mannhans703]

More amazing updates from Blackmagic. Thanks for the video Alex. I saw a video of a Beat mark plug in. I think having an internal beat mark tool built in would be amazing. Unless there is oen already and I have missed it

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

One of my pet hates is KZbin videos that have been edited to within an inch of their life to remove silences or pauses. The words come at the viewer like a never-ending stream of sound with no breathing space, no comprehension gaps, and no natural rhythm or cadence. As a lecturer to very large, live classes of over 500 students, I'm very aware of pacing a presentation to allow for maximum comprehension. If I stood on stage and gabbled out an entire lecture at high speed with no gaps, I'd be booed off and nobody would turn up to my next lecture. KZbin videos seem to have taken this habit to extremes - yours are rapid but still listenable (mostly ;) ) but some other channels are so fast and continuous that the viewer's brain doesn't have time to comprehend. There's a big difference between hearing and comprehending! This new "Delete Silences" is a potent weapon, but very likely to be overused.

[@CamCitizenTV]

DaVinci is getting closer to DeScript which I'm really happy about!

[@Edgardbmediaweddings]

Great Video. I would love to see the Audio Remixer option where you can extend your Audio to fit your video

[@TDCIYB77]

As a German, from the limited sample size here, it looks to me like the German transcription itself is far from the quality of English. Lets hope the current explosion in AI development will improve this soon!

[@MarcoSchreiber]

Tried it with an unprocessed video and it did quite alright to be fair 😅 so we shall see how it goes when I test it more extensively

[@TDCIYB77]

@@MarcoSchreiber Thanks for your answer! No matter what the state today is, Blackmagic always iterates and improves. No doubt they will perfect this sooner than later! 👍

[@JoJoOnTheMove]

Dutch translation looked also so-so, hope it improves quickly

[@Hops1987]

For now I think StoryToolkitAI is still better for German and other Languages than English. But nice to see, that Blackmagic improves this feature so quickly

[@weplay4ukraine]

Ich hatte Texte durchgeschickt - alle phantastisch gut transkriert. Wahrscheinlich verbessert worden seit der Beta-Version ... The German transcription worked perfectly for me in the new studio-version.

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Blackmagic are killing it right now 🤯🤟🔥 Great video - cheers, Alex 🙏🏻

[@JerryFlowersIII]

I honestly expected editing with transcriptions would come with a different update down the line, not literally the very next one. I'm impressed by their pace of improvement. And additional languages already, it wont be long before an additional round of languages are added I bet.

[@ARNABOSS]

wow killer moves! and thanks for the timely headsup!

[@toddanthny123]

Now I have a reason to pull the trigger and buy the studio version

[@daysandwords]

SWEDISH! After spending a literal day writing the subtitles for a 50 minute interview I did with a friend in Swedish, my eyes flicked straight to the bottom of your list when it came up, and YES! It's there! This is going to save me so much time. Thanks for the update Alex!

[@LivingOnCrypto]

Har du provat svenska än?

[@Ryzza5]

Right at the end there would've been a great place to remind us how to use the Speed Editor or shortcuts to reduce those periods of silence. Thanks for another quality and entertaining video.

[@joshuamackos9965]

I like to use Timebolt to auto cut most of my silences then import the xml into resolve. It works fairly well

[@KontrolStyle]

ty for testing stuff out, im not gona update until full release

[@theslowfoodshow8939]

One amazing thing is that now when you move a remder cached video in the timeline.... IT doen NOT get UNredered ...finally!!!!

Great video! Thx for the info, this is quite a game changer. 🔥

[@peterstrachan1794]

Timecode references for audio transcriptions!? The ability to distinguish between and mark up different speakers? Both would be very handy!

Danish among the first round of additional languages! This is better than Christmas Eve!

[@MrMeek79]

Nice new features. One thing I am dying to see is a way to delete silent spots on your timeline,in between talking. I know there is an AI tool you can buy thatll do it but itd be so cool to see it added in Davinci as a feature.

[@Thegdreview]

I look forward to word filter remove um the thing you might say when thinking what to say next.

[@marchmadecollective7983]

Dang I love Blackmagic Davinci Resolve! Have been a BMPCC6KPro user for a while now and can’t get enough!!! Thanks for the awesome info in all your videos MrAlexTech…always entertaining, always informative! Any suggestions as to what I should film next on the bmpcc6kPro?

[@egavasnai]

Great video again. Could I ask, could you do a tutorial on shooting slow motion, camera settings, timeline settings in Davinci Resolve for frame rate etc.

[@TheThinkersBible]

Great features. Could you do a step by step on how to edit a video using transcription editing? I can't get it to work and this video really rushed through that specific step. Thanks!

[@Joe-GMY]

Yeah 👍- 14 languages !!! And they just work perfectly - absolutely accurate. And that's for German, French and Spanisch, so far.

[@daysandwords]

Hey Alex - a tech question for you that will be SUPER quick if you know the answer. Some of my language nerd friends are wondering if Black Magic's Neural Engine is just OpenAI's Whisper under the hood? Or is it an entirely separate engine? Quid pro quo here's a little bit of info for you... the fact that it can do Danish shows how powerful it is. Danish is known to be so difficult to discern one syllable from another that even Danish toddlers are slower to pick up their native language than anywhere else in the world. If you'd talked about auto speech to text software for Danish even 7 years ago, everyone would have laughed at you.

[@ericcoopersomatics]

Excellent teaching. thank you.

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Can we apply this to a multicam situation?

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

Thank you again Alix

[@vojtanethio]

Very cool! But waiting for the Czech language, curious if they try to add another languages in the next update! 🙏 StoryToolkitAI based on OpenAI Whisper can do 96+ languages, so I´m curious if it´s possible to use already created subtitles for removing silences and editing stuff with it.

[@VozMadridista]

FINALLY!!!!!

[@crisborgesfilmes7486]

I expect for the subtitles with "ALL CAPS" option style

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

I'm not sure if I was the only one having issues with masking but in the new .3 version it's working again. Still haven't found the way to turn of the clip view in the color page 😅

[@joseluisruiz3789]

That is so cool! I was wondering have they fixed the issues some users have reported with Sony XAVC S-4K Video Footage? I heard there was some issues with DaVinci properly supporting it. Ive been using Wondershare Filmora 11 which is very user friendly but i would like to try out Davinci but i use a Sony Alpha A7IV in XAVC S-4K 😅

[@jetBlues0000]

Awesome. Thx.

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Still want to be able to change speed on mulitple audio clips in one go. ....and not have to manually de click 'pitch correction" on every single one.

[@godsfilmmaker8863]

I’m just so excited for editing from the script! It would be cool if you could drop a pre-written script in and have AI figure it out. I just had a client video last week where I had the original script, and the voice over, and I had to cut the voiceover down to fit. It really didn’t take super long but was still an hour or two of billable time, I could do it in a fraction of the time by just dropping the script in and having da Vinci only pull up those parts. Obviously though I can still cut it down using these built-in features. Also, I haven’t checked, can you search the script? The number one thing I would like to see them put in right now is either auto pod or their own equivalent

[@MrAlexTech]

Yeaah you can search the script 🙂👍

[@RoccoGermani]

Great video! Do you know if they fixed the issue where you change the speed of an audio clip and disable pitch correction and then no sound plays? This has been a big annoyance for me thus far with sound design in the initial beta release of 18.5

[@Cchogan]

Double lines option. Yes!!!!

[@gallo.s.chingon]

Can we get single word as an option for subtitles? Instead of a single or double line of up to X characters. One Word Per Line Of Subtitles

[@cbino2801]

Hello, Do you know why the sound cuts out after around 1 mn for each of my imported videos ? Thank you.

[@RepairGuyDK]

FCKING HELL !!, Yeah Danish. will def. test this out, but can´t wait for the little button that will translate to another language.

[@JimWilbourne]

Gave this a go today. Turns out the text editor isn't quite good enough yet. It's just annoying enough that I think I still will prefer to do it by hand rather than fix the other problems it managed it introduce. I can see this getting really good though! Sometimes it nailes it

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

Hi Alex are you or anyone having a problem either creating or using ProRes for file rendering. I have found if I have either render my Canon files or proxies (within DaVinci) set to ProRes it cannot make them and in the case of render, renders out the file and then because it has not created it comes up missing media. In the case of proxies it just says it cannot make them. If I then change all to DNX files for proxies and rendering everything is just fine. I am using a MacBook Pro M1 and the problem hs existed in the last two updates. I did report it and nothing has happened in this latest update.

[@ZAGON117]

If I could make some suggestions for the future of the tool. The ability to add and select which start and end transitions we can add onto the start and end of clips. Attributes and the like. I edit for youtubers and each prefer different text so if I was able to easily import types of text to use, perhaps by using an example txt+ node, that would be awesome

[@weplay4ukraine]

Dear Alex, great, thank you so much for all your phantastic tutorials. Especially the transcription-tool now for me as a german native is very handy!! And they also added Russian - among all the others. But here I want to ask: Couldn´t you tell the great Blackmagic-team also to add UKRAINIAN? This would be so important in these times!! Greetings from Germany.

[@MrAlexTech]

Hey! You're welcome. I have no input with Blackmagic unfortunately so I can't really ask for anything ha. I'd suggest putting a suggestion on the Blackmagic Forum :)

[@brandonraybern9975]

Honestly, I haven't looked too deep for this answer, but is there a way to find specific words and or phrases and mass delete them? Specifically, filler words, like um, so (but the long soooo...sound) etc.

[@crystalpulseTV]

I'd like to see a Speed Graph Editor that works well, something similar to the Fusion one or ideally, the Premiere one. A way to make it default to Retime Curve > Retime Speed.. The timeline not to jump up and down when I open mentioned Speed Graph, sometimes it jumps it all over the place and hides my audio really far down the screen.

[@sweet4nice2003]

Hi Alex..How or what are the best methods in Davinci to sync video and Audio as you would do in Plural eyeys so one can edit faster by importing into DR like one could do in Premier Pro, if any? Trying to leave the dragging software of premier 🥵

[@unn4medfeel1ng]

Wow, the addition of Russian is awesome, didn't expect them to do that

Does anyone know if they’ve fixed the timing issue for subs? The one where the timing of each sub would always display after the first word had been said, when it should just display sub at the beginning of the word being said

Thanks a lot for the review. I would love to have a better editing method for the transcribe. Also, it seems that I cannot reopen the panel. I change timeline and now I can't find the transcribe panel anymore. Any idea ?

[@cefahprod]

Nevermind, It is a pop up and because I use multiple screen it was hiddent behind the second screen. I would love to have the transcribe panel more like a tab or other type of window.

[@lucabastianello9830]

Can you combine the two, so to male the transcription and then change the linguaggio to adatto the wording in Another language. I usually prepare the same video in two different linguaggio, it would be nice to prepare a single one and then convert all the audio in another linguaggio with my voice

So are the subtitles just embeded in the video file and then you have to turn them on in KZbin etc?

How do you do it with audio from an external source. I usually match them up in the edit page. Now this silence cut only does the video file, I don’t use the Audio from the camera. What do I do now?

I figured it out for anyone else that wants to know, I should have known instantly. Make them into a compound clip then do the transcription!

Unfortunately it doesn't do well with recordings with both English and Portuguese in the same timeline. This is very common if someone is speaking English and Translating. It seems to default to 'English' instead of transcribing both languages in the same timeline...

I really wish the subtitles didn't need a high-end graphics card in order to work. I edit on my laptop, and I'm just not in the position to spend more on a graphics card than I do on my monthly house and car payments combined.
