Better Twixtor and Time Remapping in DaVinci Resolve

You may already know, but just as a helpful tip, as I noticed you jumping the playhead back manually a lot, you can go to the menu under playback and tell it to reset the playhead. So when you hit space to start and stop, it will jump back to where you were, so playing the same bit over and over is a lot quicker

[@PeeJ_ENT]

very true

2:07 why exactly do i have to copy the clip and disable the first video timeline including the fusion composition? i'm kinda new into editing so i basically dont understand why 1:49 until 3:12 is neccessary and why i can't just chop up the clip (without duplicating before) and just put a fusion composition on it?

[@PeeJ_ENT]

The reason I duplicated it and was so you have a copy of the original footage you can Twix again or just use the original footage that was there if you do not like the result of the slomotion, I lock the layer so it does not move when you use the ripple delete feature because it applies to all of the layers in the page and I disable the layer so I don't see it and get confused during the time I am cutting, you could technically do it your proposed way but I like to keep copies of things in case I mess up or want to go back

[@yTosic]

@@PeeJ_ENT ohhh okay i see but basically this is "unneccessary" or rather not needed for it to work whatsoever? also couldn't you just drag the raw clip back in if you didnt like the outcome?

[@charla1514]

i think you can also go to retime and scalling not in fusion tab and set retime process to optical flow, motion estimation to enchanced better, and resize filter to smoother and it works somewhat like a twixtor, but mainly when you slow the clip down

[@PeeJ_ENT]

that is very true, but you will not have the extensive time remapping capabilities as if you put it into fusion, being able to control the speed with the spline controls in fusion is more beneficial for focusing on specific movements in my experience

2:30 Why ARE there Duplicate frames? It is with the animation itself? Like, it was animated on 2s or 3s instead of 1s? And so, deleting Duplicate frames changes that by putting it on 1s, right?

if i already have all my clips in the edit untwixed and still in the timeline , not edited or anything just synced up with the audio. do i have to export each clip and put it on a separate project to do this?

should the clips already be in slo motion or is it fine if its in normal speed??

[@PeeJ_ENT]

it is fine if it is normal speed, just frames that look the most similar will work better

[@joganaut]

Is this better than just using the timeline? I have the paid version of davinci 18 (for work) want to try this but not sure if it will actually produce a better result

[@PeeJ_ENT]

I would say it is better because you have more control over the curve which will produce better results than time remapping in the timeline

I have been editing for YTers part time for about a year and I thought I was experienced, but I am very confused LOL. Is there any way that you could make a video explaining these terms like twix and other things you use? (Ik what a compound clip is ofc) Never made and AMV so that is prolly why but maybe I'd like to learn

[@MizunoYT]

twixtor is time remap but blends the frame for when you slow down the clips because slowing down clips is essentially spacing the frames more apart. time remap is just the graph that controls how fast or slow the clip is played but is shown as a graph

[@MizunoYT]

dont know if im exactly right though since i use after effects and not davinci resolve but the basic idea should be same

[@PeeJ_ENT]

Couldn’t have said it better myself

[@PeeJ_ENT]

Yeah we have different types of lingo, retime/time remapping is like speed ramping and Twixtor is a slow motion plug in that creates extra frames that makes the remap look smoother
