[@skyhr]

That sync functionality is a godsend... omg...

[@adamviaja]

[@thegameadventure]

This is an awesome (quick) description of the cut page. Also you are hillarious AND informative. Which is a magical combination.

[@stephanjurgens3766]

Brilliant, Casey. Love it, thanks :-) Had no idea why I would want to use the cut page (I started with DaVinci when the cut page did not exist and got used to the edit page), but the multicam section really convinced me to take a better look at the cut page. Love your videos, Stephan

[@glyphikal3453]

Heh...I was about to jump into doing a nasty long edit and thought 'let me see if someone has a quick intro to this cut page I keep skipping past'. in 5 mins you not only have saved me probably an hour, but also inpsired me to try multicam on my next project because that demo was a-mazing! Also I love your presentation style. Well done subscribed and will take time to watch your other videos soon as I can! Huge thanks for the work on this one

[@DreamedCraft]

My ADHD totally appreciate this video will definitely check out the rest of your content

[@32SIX]

I am sooooo happy that I subscribed to your channel

[@That__Guy]

They should include your videos as the official documentation. Seriously. I've been sitting in front of DaVinci Resolve for ages and I just couldn't figure shit out. Now that I watch your stuff, I can actually do SOMETHING.

[@TriniWeekes]

[@TravelMaximizer]

Man. I should have watched this video months ago. Nice job on this video. Time saving tips are the best,

[@DRNISHADSK]

Thank you very much.

[@LetsTalkAboutReaper]

Hey, Casey! I have a request, assuming you don't already have a video. You able to make a quick video discussing the V1 an A1 "buttons" in the edit page and how they relate to dragging content onto the timeline? I seem to struggle with this sometimes when i have multiple layers, and sometimes audio tries to overwrite existing audio instead of going to its own layer. I think these buttons and my lack of understanding are to blame

[@donutboy9576]

Thank you!

[@simongarcia2126]

Could you do a tutorial on how to do an effect similar to the one you used at 1:02? That would be very helpful just like this tutorial was :)

[@joshmoxey.]

This view is wicked. Thanks dude!

[@thebettyfordclinic]

Thanks Casey!!!

[@thilinaalagiyawanna3680]

[@Salantsoundstudios]

Thanks casey!

[@willc3900]

thank you

[@ginotarabotto]

Your tutorials are super awesome. When running Davinci on a Mac, which codec runs most most smooth, prores or another?

[@MikesComputerTips]

Thanks for your videos I use resolve

[@DavidPeck-DP]

Really helpful Casey thanks. Any chance you can update it for 18.5? The buttons are a bit different now and there are new features.

[@sheepsheepcharles]

Hi Casey , thank you for the tutorial , do you know how to solve the Cut page media sorting problem ? its very annoying, thank you so much .

[@RVKevin]

Awesomeness !!!

[@ricabude]

Hi Casey, great videos, congrats. Just subbed. One question: I have a project for which I created SRT subtitles, but this track does not show on the cut page, only on the edit page. The subtitles appear on the viewer, but the tracks do not show, both in the zoomed-in or zoomed-out timelines. Any ideas? Thanks

[@TPVPRO]

The Multi-cam part is nice 👍 Other than that I am not sold on why it's another tab. IMO it would make more sense to combine the 2. 🤷‍♂‍

[@Warlock_UK]

That multicam thing is a goldmine

[@Warlock_UK]

I spoke too soon, it doesn't seem to work for me. I've got two pieces of video and an audio file; The sync panel works great. When I add any of it to the cut page the source overwrite button does nothing. I can't drag the audio in either, let alone get it in position. I wonder if it's trying to sync based on timecode despite the clips being synced by audio... *edit* found a small workaround, once I went to the EDIT tab, there was a 'Media Sync' item that appeared in the pool which somehow isn't visible in the cut page. Dragging that got all my stuff onto the edit page. Then I had to untick the lock to be able to actually edit.

[@inesef]

Thanks

[@kerwinfernandes9583]

Your too cute man! 😂 Thank you for this demo. God bless you and your family. 😊🙏🏻❤

[@SmartByTravel]

There were so many gold nugets here. Thank you, thank you!

[@dinodevtech1077]

thank! 👍

[@SECourses]

How can I replace certain part of a video with a static image? Lets I want to replace between minute 1 56 and 3 57 with a static image?

[@bobdutica]

I have Davinci Resolve 15. To install version 16, do I have to first uninstall version 15?

[@audio2u]

Casey, I was intrigued by the "sync clips" idea, but it still doesn't quite help me with my (maybe unique?) workflow issue. I use OBS to capture my screen AND the audio from my professional mic. I use an a7iii for my headshot, and although it picks up my voice, I don't use that audio. So when I'm editing, I need to sync both video files first (I clap my hands at the start of each recording to assist on this front), and then editing BOTH clips simultaneously (using the edit page) so as to keep them in sync. Is there a way to do this in the Cut page? To cut both files simultaneously? Thanks for all your epic videos.

[@bbrother92]

Superb.

[@dannoringer]

good video !!

[@drsch]

So, how do you view or inspect the audio of a video clip in the cut mode? I work with video clips that have multiple channels and I can't ever see any of them in the cut tab. I have to go to the edit tab if I want to see the multiple audio channels that are a part of the clip.

[@EngineerNick]

Thankyou :)

[@wwig8616]

THANK YOU, probably not a single irrelevant piece of information in this vid

[@glmstudiogh]

is there a way I can drag only the video source to the timelines in the Cut page?

[@scottjones6624]

Started great for beginners and then went wild with advanced fast stuff.

[@infinityphotorob]

The multicam thing is super cool. I need to try this 100%. I have an annoying thing in cut page that I know there is a solution for. The playhead always seems to show up toward the end of each clip. So I need move to the beginning for each clip. Is there a way to make it just always start in the beginning?

[@jjseandxcefree]

when you have a source page view of multiple clips - and then do multiple in/out clips - can you mark/create those clips as new separate entities to use in the edit? can you create subclips in the cutpage?? like when you i/o mark and then create a new sub to be used later??

[@lebaguetteTH]

Amazing, I was wondering after seeing the editing page what were the difference because before starting watching your tuto I was using cut (I started davinci 2 days ago) and then you said the magic word : multi cam, wich is exactly what I do when I film. And after that you made me the happiest guy when you said : sync clip with audio Omg am I in heaven
