10 Mind Blowing Tips to EDIT FASTER in DaVinci Resolve

Here are my top tips you haven't heard of to edit video faster in DaVinci Resolve 17. This is an advanced tutorial from a pro to help get you cutting video easier and faster than you ever have before! I dare you to tell me that you didn't learn at least one new thing in this tutorial ;)
Faster selects editing using swap timeline and source viewer instead of source tape or pancake editing, shuffle and swap edits, replace edits for sound design, fit to fill for cutting to the beat of a music track, trim start and trim end to quickly clean up your dailies, extend edit for graphic alignment, match frame for finding that perfect bit of dialogue or b-roll, trim in source, and even the famous DaVinci Resolve ripple overwrite function is not only explained but put into it's best use case scenarios.

[@zapvamsi8045]

Bro, can you explain the swap the timeline and source viewer in a simple way cause it's kind of complicated for me to understand this tip?

[@CreativeVideoTips]

@@zapvamsi8045 basically it lets you control 2 timelines at once. The source is a timeline you drag to the left source monitor. The other timeline is the destination you want to edit to. To open the destination timeline. it’s a normal double click. I have another tutorial on here that focuses more on this one technique. It’s called something like edits selects like a pro or similar. Hope this helps.

[@zapvamsi8045]

Thanks for the quick response bro. Now I've got it. But I'm still gonna watch the video you suggestd to get in-depth knowledge about this function.

[@rodrigomacias]

This is the most valuable DR tips video I've seen so far. Just pure gold.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Wow, thanks!

[@emmaarizzi55]

Honestly once explained it's fairly intuitive. Thank you for breaking it down so nicely for us newbies! Can't wait to play with the full version

[@antong4680]

Thanks for all the 'next level' tips. So much beginner stuff out there, it's good to step it up a notch.

[@RodolfoVanzini]

There’s nothing wrong with devouring your videos, because I can always rewatch them time and again. Awesome. Thank you so much.

[@AdamSzarmack]

Match frame has legitimately changed my life. One of the best video editing features ever created.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Me too Adam, it's such a simple concept but so powerful! I hate to say it but I probably edited for about 10 years before I learned what it was and made use of it.

[@ndolaboy]

Absolutely brilliant tips yet again. You are so good at explaining them clearly and most importantly, succinctly. Thank you!

[@BigBritchesProductions]

Another absolutely excellent video, Chadwick. Thank you for all you do.

[@adamboozer5215]

Thanks for these tips! I have been an editor for over 20 years on various NLE's and I have found in Resolve that I have become a bit of a lazy click and drag guy. I will be adding most of these tips into my workflow for sure.

I have watched this video when it first came out, it was good then but i needed to recall what to do again (because there is so much to learn.) I watched this video again this morning ( months later) and Chadwick this is Fantastic. These little gems are probably second nature to so many but for me, this is like getting in a Tesla for the first time and going for a ride.

Thanks, Chadwick! Discovered your channel a week or so ago…New Resolve user over here (coming from Logic Pro, FCP, Motion, etc.) and I so appreciate the video quality, your enthusiasm, educational chops, deep knowledge of shortcuts for efficient editing, and so much more. You deserve a ton of Super Thanks and I hope they come in as fast as that guy’s typing speed in your video. ;-) Best to you from Las Vegas.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Wow, thank you so much for your generosity! I would love to hear what interests you the most about Resolve, since you are transitioning from other software.

[@19574869]

Thankyou! Trim in source viewer was something I'v never seen before. It was driving me crazy and this is the only tutorial I've found to explain it.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

You’re welcome Peter. It is really a confusing thing when you thnk about it, especially since it’s so closely related to a match frame. Great to hear this helped.

[@19574869]

@@CreativeVideoTips yeah. It kept nibbling away at the shot in the timeline. It seems to be a tool that could do with a few more options, for example if you could remove or disable the middle of a clip.

[@immanuelkuhrt8508]

Thanks for yet another very helpful video 👍

[@CreativeVideoTips]

[@christianstelzl2494]

@@CreativeVideoTips I don´t mind advanced tips and tricks. In fact quite the opposite. Im a proffesional based in munich/germany as well, switched from Premiere to da Vinci. It´s different but at the same time not. And im doing thing like i always did in Premiere, but as i saw there are many things i could do faster or more afficient in Da Vinci. Got my speed Editor some days ago. starting do work more with the cut page. Mulitcam is just awesome. How I won´t quite my sub anyway. :) But as I said Id me more than thankful if you will make also those advanced stuff. Also in Fusion (still confusion as an old AE user) but it is getting better.

[@TiloVentures]

Thank you so much for all the tips.. BUT CTRL+SHIFT and drag clip in time line was brilliant ! (you used the , and . on keyboard)

[@squamishelle8591]

Thanks again Chadwick, I appreciate your time in preparing these videos. I really have no time to look for all these shortcuts, well, to be honest I;m too lazy to go look for them since I don't know if what I am looking for actually exist on a huge list of shortcuts. You are a real time saver just like your videos my man.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

No problem! One thing I do anytime I pick up new shortcuts is add it to a note (I use apple notes) - then try to add one or two new shortcuts to my muscle memory each month from that list. Before you know it, editing/grading will feel like you're just playing an instrument. Thanks for watching!
