[@xjet]

Doesn't Control-B do the same thing already? (ie: create a cut at the playhead position)?

[@BillyRybka]

Yeah, however it's not close to the other controls, so you have to go all around the keyboard and it become super inefficient

[@mithileshlokhande]

@@BillyRybka its also one more button to press.. i was already using Q/W but not the razor instead i did cmd+B.. I'll change to razor rn

[@stellaqaustralia]

@@BillyRybka how tiring lol …champagne problems

[@ATLJB86]

I never do all that to cut. If i need to cut one clip, I select it and hit control B then hit backspace to remove the unwanted area or delete if I want it to slide into position. If I want to cut all clips from top to bottom on that section then I will just hit control \ and that’s it. Everything else is unnecessary. Backspace and delete gives you the two methods you need, no need to right click and all of that.

[@DaLoveDonkey69420]

That's what I do, CTRL B, then either Delete or Backspace pending on which is desired.

[@SKIDSnSTUFF]

Until this video I figured everyone did it this way

[@brunoouellette2]

Same here, i think i learned that in fcp way back when

[@M_Jaggard]

Agreed, in my workflow the number of times I want to ripple cut is very very limited - it normally results in a jumpy video that is too obviously edited. I use Ctrl-\ to cut and then generally I want to put something else inbetween so I'm happy to leave a gap where the removed section was.

[@edfromyoutube3917]

Yeah backspace for ripple and del for non ripple

[@lawfulmasses]

I prefer setting an In and and Out point and then hitting Delete.

[@bicycleninja1685]

yup, just jog dial to the in point, hit i, jog dial to the out point, hit o, then shift+backspace (or just backspace to leave a gap)

[@cinematic.visuals]

That's basically the same way I do it, only I use Ctrl+B to cut the clip where the playhead is placed then Shift+[ or Shift+] to trim to the playhead. Same actions, just different keystrokes :)

[@Chewyshoot]

I discovered this a few months ago and it has amplified my workflow like 3 fold! Legendary. I'm sure many people will appreciate this one, Billy. Keep it up!

[@BillyRybka]

RIGHT! Stright up game changing man!

[@FloppySwordGaming]

Select "B", make all your cuts with your mouse for the whole video on the timeline. When done, hit "A" to use select tool. Go through timeline and hold ctrl + left click and select all the clips you don't want, hit your delete key once. Done. This video is too much work.

[@AudiovisualeFoto-Estudo-wd3vq]

Actually this seems confusing, its easy for a robot know exactly what to select based on timing or if u r only cutting empty spacer but when u are cuting bullshit talking its hard without a marker. And the markers would take too long. Also davinci removes silences automatically so your tip is actually a downgrade of the video’s.

[@knaz7468]

Can't do that for super long clips.

[@ztekhouse]

Is there any way to split one clip into many clips and specify how long each clip will be? For example a 2 minute single clip, split into exactly 8*15 second clips?

[@ArtDigitalMediaTV]

I’m confused. I thought this already existed. I’ve been using command + backslash which slices. Then shift + delete which ripple cuts. Didn’t program them, they were already there.

[@werdwerdus2]

looks like it's the same, just different keyboard shortcuts

[@mariaeduardagoschmarafon3043]

I paused as you went along and did the steps myself and that helped a TON.

[@halbrooktechnologies]

I've been using a Tartarus V2 for about a year to help in some audio work I do, I'd love to see setups and ideas on how to use it in Resolve as well. I love the macro ability it gives.

[@TroyDan89]

I've was using a free version of video pad for the last 5 years, but now that I've recently brought davinci Resolve i cant stop being amazed by what it can do and what a difference it creates, and thanks to your videos i no longer feel completely lost and overwhelmed. Great Work! thanks.

[@FilNenna]

MOST USEFUL VIDEO EVER. I had “cut” mapped, but didn’t know about “start to playhead”.

[@wadespees7283]

hey thanks for all the info. i did exactly as you said . is there some thing i have to unlock to be able to do this thanks.

[@iliaskapatos]

Thank you for this great video :-). I just can't make it work like in your case. When I set the keyboard like you did, it makes the "End to Playhead" to work only in the "cut" mode of DR 18.0.2 but not in the "edit", same with the "razor" it works only in the "cut" window. Now the "Start to playhead" is not working anywhere not in the "cut" and not in the "Edit" window. It would be great if you would have a advice for me.

[@dolphman85]

I also have the Tartarus for resolve but I still want to to see how you use it. I bet you have tons more shortcuts in it than I do.

[@MCobos]

what is the font you used here? appreciatte

[@FenixDown147]

do you have a video that shows us some common shortcuts you recommend?

[@Gam3rC4m]

Dude you made my effing year. I came over to Resolve from my paid app Movie Studio 14 Pro (needed to be able to render at 1440p) and I was used to using S for split ALL the time. I thought the only option was to switch to the razor icon. Now I can split and cut with S and X - absolute beauty! Many Thanks!

[@epat6506]

Could you make customs transitions how to video? If you already have where can I find?

[@PALBantha]

Tbh I still prefer the blade simply for the reason that the line of the playhead is too thick for me sometimes. B, left click, left click, delete. Still more steps than you need, but the blade just makes it easier for me to make a precise cut. I really like your videos, keep it up!

[@snowset675]

Thank god I learned this before I seriously hurt myself! I realize now that it is much safer to cut things with scissors than with a razor blade. Thanks for the video! Anyway, I should probably go bandage up my fingers now.

[@toth1982]

I did the same previously. I have mapped F1 to Razor and F2 to "start to playhed". But now I went back to blade. Why? It is more convenient. My biggest problem is that if something is selected, F2, or "start to playhead" does not work. So sometimes something is selected, sometimes it is not. You never know. The second problem is that blade tool is more visible. It has a smaller line and you will cut where your mouse is. You can do more precise work with it. If you want to do the same with the playhead, you have to adjust its position above your clips on the "ruler", not on your clips. That is usually far away, so it is harder to be precise. Also, with keyboard shortcuts you can use blade fast as well: B, cut, cut, A, select with click, del.

[@d_image_planet]

very good. Can we combine two commands in one key, kind of macro

[@HarshB-v9o]

this is amazing , quick quest : Do you also turn on the force debater to highest quality while exporting especially for KZbin and Instagram ???

[@mancavepc1730]

Thanks for the video. Honestly the fastest way for me is using the default ctl B and delete method. Specially because davinci will automatically highlight what's before the cut. That's an additional step automatically done for you. Once you factor it in you're flow and choose you're cut points in a systematic manner. It speeds up the cutting process significantly even when you have multiple tracks in your timeline.

[@HalfdeadRider]

Ctrl-B then Shift-[ done

[@DarkStarCoreX]

I do Ctrl+\ because it's right next to Ctrl so I don't need to use two hands to cut.

[@CorrosiveCitrus]

​@@DarkStarCoreXyou need 2 hands for ctrl+B? O.o

[@DarkStarCoreX]

@@CorrosiveCitrus Not really, I can do it with 1 hand, but I find it easier to use Ctrl+/ anyway.

[@cosmashono7665]

I would really like to see a video on the Razor Tartarus.

[@Plutonium292]

Tartarus V2 is weird af, you dont have key "V" and why do I need an extra scroll wheel? they should keep the razer orbweaver design and add the analog stick

[@TheEldorado1991]

Awesome video. I have a hotkey for this in Ableton live for my music and thought the default cut method in davinci to be slow and stupid. THANK YOU

[@NighthawkX02]

I don't understand one thing though, what's the point of using the right click to display the menu and select "ripple cut" if you can simply press the "del Ins" key to delete the selected area? I always did it that way. Anyway, it didn't work for me, I was able to assign a key to the razor and it worked, but for some reason, when I did the same to the "start/end to playhead" actions it didn't work :(

[@yannieboi]

You are the King! Thanks man!

[@twanhoward]

Good Day, Ive reviewed many vids, including most of yours; and I may have missed this paicular effects tutorial; if there is one, but Im new to DR18 and Im trying to make a telephone "ONLY", vibrate as it rings in my clip. can you explain how to do that?

[@madame8tv]

I love the shortcuts. Great video

[@Johow]

Great Video! Thanks! I come from AVID. I am used to edit like this. Set IN-Point with „I“ go to OUT-Point and hit „O“ and then „X“ to ripple cut. I am very used to this method. Can it be mimicked in Davinci Resolve? Thx!!!

[@zoolanderuk77]

Yes, you can I - O and then fn Delete (macbook pro key board) - so basically as others said Delete or Backspace for ripple delete or leaving a gap.

[@photojoseph]

This is great. I used to use "trim start" and "trim end" on Q and W, but that required one more step -- entering Trim mode. This bypasses that; awesome!

[@Ifscoach]

Is this destructive like Blade? Meaning could I still adjust the clip to the right or left and get the footage back?

[@UFODISCGOLF]

HEY MAN HOW U DOING? , I HAD A QUESTION IS THERE A WAY TO ADD CUSTOM BUTTONS BUT TO THE BUTTONS FROM MY MOUSE HAS SIDE BUTTONS?, EXAMPLE: REPLACE (BLADE) "B" TO MY MOUSE SIDE BUTTONS?

[@hunerdpercent]

Basically setting up a Premiere work flow. Coming from Premiere I couldn’t get used to delete deleting everything before. I think was doing it wrong, but this is how I would go through my footage in premiere. Reading the comments helped me better understand how Davinci does this better by default. CTRL+B and delete. I’ll have to give that a try

[@janznowbowski9806]

why is there a gap in start to playhead? thank you very mcuh

[@carlstunna1182]

Hi Billy can you make video that goes over how to make the effect where by jewelry shine and glistening very brightly in music videos?

[@TheCleverMillionaire]

This is an amazing video, saved me a ton of time

[@lukeheidmusic]

Great video, thanks!

[@neveoney7865]

Hi, like your videos very much. For high quality reels, on the IPhone then film in 4K at 30 fps? Or 60 fps? How do I get rid of the black bars left and right on davinci? So that as full screen the reel is exported? What are the best settings for the export ?

[@Rood67]

I use a Razer mouse (the Hex, with seven button side panel) I have it set up to scrub both directions at increasing speed Pause Cut And ripple forward and backward I have the predecessor to the game pad you showed here, I have the Nostromo. I thought about setting it up; so I’d be interested in seeing what you did.

[@GameWithTonyYT]

What is the difference between "Delete selected" and "Ripple Delete" ?

[@ulisserigamonti3172]

Great thank you, I'm looking for the opposite tool of razor, I think it should be Glue or something like this but I can't find it. It's possible to glue two clips that i cut before?

[@BillyRybka]

Yes, all you do is click the cut point and hit backspace. It will only undo a cut. If you removed something between the cut point then it wont work. Give it a try

[@ulisserigamonti3172]

​@@BillyRybka Thank you mate ;), but there is not another possibility to glue 2 different clip or the same clip but with a part removed as you said before?

[@ShobaSadler]

Hi Billy, recently I found that when I drag and drop images from my Media Pool, the images show up as just blue sticks on the timeline whereas in the past they show up as full frame photos. Do you know why this is happening? I can drag the blue stick out to the left to open up the full image, but it's just another step I have to do. It would be better if the images just show up in their full frames when I drag and drop from Media. Any advice please?

[@garylawsonmedia305]

Hi Billy thanks for the video really want to set up the shortcut but the only problem is when I do my razor it only chops the video and does not do the audio am I missing something? Many Thanks

[@BillyRybka]

Thanks for the support man! So Deselect the video layer and use the razer tool on the clip. No layer should be highlighted when you cut

[@nothingspeaks]

i dont know if its new, i guess it must be but i never played with the shortcuts and "CTRL+B" works for cutting and "DEL" ripple deletes where "BACKSPACE" just gets rid of the clip without rippling

[@e.esiyok]

My question is, suppose there are 3-second gaps between the clips you cut. How can you combine all the clips with a single click, going through the gaps between them?

[@PrepMedic]

Hate using the playhead to edit. I just use the fast key for the blade tool, click what I want cut then delete the video and delete the dead space. It automatically ripples it and does what you need it to do.

[@ViciousTech]

I 100% would like to see a video on the Tartarus I have the V2 collecting dust from when I used to play WoW heavily and if I could use it for editing that would be amazing.

[@Zerkam]

Great tips!! I'll def check out more of your videos. Just started writing and making soft. I feel soft softs will help get to the next

[@mellow0161]

hi! i just wanted to ask if this works on multiple tracks...im struggling with it just cutting the top track and not the bottom if that makes sense.

[@adrianstensrud]

Can this be done without actually removing any audio?

[@thomassorensen9749]

what if you dont want to trim audio as well? Im sinking drone video to audio

[@antoniogarcia4599]

Let's say I accidentally cut the wrong section can I undo it or need to star all over again

[@NebulousFrivolity]

this is exactly what I've been looking for! It's so frustrating that I can't just right click and have a tool to select to "cut" a track or video into two pieces.

[@Impossible_Emporium]

what about control + B?

[@RonitBatra]

I am currently shifting from premiere to davinci and premiere actually had the same commands for Q and W keys. I've been editing videos for a while now and on a daily basis so this is something that's been holding me back to shift because I cannot waste so much of my time trimming each and every clip. Thank you for making this video I was searching something exactly like this.

[@CaptainTae]

Isn’t it easier to set an in and out and delete?

[@brucedeity]

Dude, you saved me! I left Premiere Pro and I was missing this feature sooo much!

[@edfromyoutube3917]

Bro, you are a genius. I was so annoyed the blade tool and you solved the problem. Thanks🙏

[@nestorisaacestoque5989]

I've been editing on a different editor for years and when I finally decided to move to Davinci Resolve, I was so confused where the cut button was. And almost literally all KZbin tutorials keep telling me to use the blade tool like, who the heck uses the mouse to cut. It's not precise and it takes forever. Thank you for this video.

[@inmyfreetyme]

Very good tips Billy. Thanks 4 sharing. Cheers !😎😎

[@guich.mp4]

Hey Billy can you make a tutorial on how to make the bass displacement effect ( 3d tracked ) . I can't find any tutorial on how to make 3d tracked effects on davinci resolve ☹☹

[@ScottSlykerman]

A review on the Razer Tartarus would be awesome. Can you do a video on your editing gear as well? (keyboard, mouse, etc)

[@JakeWipp]

The intro was amazing 😂

[@ENMPlayzYT]

Thank you so much.This helped me out alot.I wasted alot of time when i was editing but this technique really helped me out.Keep up the great work

[@selmanorhan8402]

Me newbie used more than 500 times razor to make amv, then see this video. Im like O.O . But with razor you can see video with hovering your cursor and thats so convenient for me to just dragging the line. Any tips for that?

[@chuckmakesabuck129]

On my initial install, Razor is prepackaged as "b" Select is prepackaged as "a" The delete button on the keyboard deletes. Not that difficult... Don't mind me tho, I'm new at this.

[@RayHorn5128088056]

Ctrl-B does it for me with del or backspace.

[@BillyRybka]

For sure, the main thing is that you dont want to be reaching all around the keyboard for the right shortcut, also delete/backspace means that you need to first make another cut, select it & then hit delete/backspace. If you map it to Q, then you dont need to make a cut nor reach to the delete/backspace button. Its a small tweak, but over time this seriously will save time.

[@CappySmack]

@@BillyRybka Point is well taken; however, I tend to scan my clips serially forward, and I tend to remove backward towards the head of the clip once I see the next useful part of a clip. What has your experience been with this sort of task? I enjoy your videos and am eager to learn all I can from those who have been using Davinci Resolve longer than I have.

[@iambillblack]

Brilliant tip clearly explained. Will save hours. Many thanks!

[@sunroameroverland]

so i did this and it only works in the cut page not the edit page ???

[@jasonmurphy5139]

when im cutting i use "B" then click where i want to cut, "A", select clip (which has already been unlinked) and press backspace to delete in place or DEL to ripple delete. I am yet to try but i think im in the flow of what i use and i think this is not gonna save me much time at all :(

[@SaveTheGoonDock]

Noob switching from Premiere, frustrated with blade tool, "There must be a better way?!?" THANK YOU!

[@VexedSinik]

The cut and select have their own keys already mapped. Backspace deletes the selection and delete ripple cuts. The shortcuts are already there. Why are we over complicating this?

[@realmarkstewart]

Thank you!! Moving from Premier Pro and was working out how the hell to do this in DaVinci until now!

[@claudiuvlad]

I want to cut only audio. How to do that only with shortcut?

[@officialveneno]

how do make playhead continue at the start of the clip after ripple deleting during playback instead of playhead not stopping

[@KacperSieradziński]

ctrl + b and delete? 🙂

[@pawanmandhotra4490]

Great tips brother thanku very much

[@FFVison]

I thought there was something like this already, at least in 17. I think the keyboard shortcut for cutting was like the backslash \ or ctrl+B or something and then there were 2 other shortcuts that were like ctrl+shift+[ (left bracket) and ctrl+shift+] (right bracket). I'm a little hazy on if those are the exact shortcuts, but they should be something like that for what I was thinking.

[@The_Idea_of_Dream_Vision]

This works in the cut page for me but when I go to edit page it doesn’t work

[@musanetesakupwanya1050]

So glad I found this channel

[@GreenGreeny]

Watching the start of this video, imagining some people actually cut that way is mind blowing. Been using Ctrl+B and Ctrl+shift+[ / ] so much its muscle memory and even my default hand rest position position.

[@KogleyBroDude]

Bro im struggling rn trying to render my video with multiple audio tracks. And videos to point me to?

[@Soul_Visuals_Photography]

This is the video I’ve been waiting to find. This is how I have final cut set up.

[@goldfinger2839]

I make talking videos and sometimes I don't speak continuously in the video so there are silence parts in the video.... So I have to trim the silence part 1 by 1.. is there any way in DaVinci resolve to automatic detect the silence part and cut them there is silence detection feature in wondershare filmora is there such feature in Davinci resolve

[@notrobmoto]

Thank you! This made my workflow even more efficient.

[@TDHobbies]

I'm new to resolve, so this really helps me out a LOT, Thanks I found that in multiple video and audio the timelines need to be linked if you want to cut them all together, but this does save a lot of time and is much easier.

[@isitthatway]

3:22 It looks like they must have changed the behavior a bit, at least on a Mac. In DaVinci Resolve 18.6, you have to have the clip selected for the ripple to work, which makes sense.

[@marvio_rocha]

Wow, Billy! I subscribe to your channel now. You are an awesome teacher to me and I understand your English perfectly too. Cheers from Brazil.

[@Hobynist]

Thanks for the tip! Will be using that for sure. I´ve been doing it a little bit faster, with shortcut (B) for the blade and (A) for the selection, and then hit delete for the removal of the clip. But your style will save even more time 👍

[@imchecotech]

Great one!! Thanks!!!! 🙌🏻

[@RickyRicardo904]

Awesome tips, thanks!

[@ravKenclaw]

I'm so glad I found this video after finishing up my first project! Hehe.
