DaVinci Resolve 19.1 - TOP 5 FIXES for Editors

[@Deatarus51]

This is the 3rd video on this update that I've seen and every single creator has had very different feature updates they showcase. Loving this. Also, we appreciate YOU!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

thats great to hear - I try to always offer my unique take on the tools - there's lots for everyone

[@pxlmvr7]

Grant is *REALLY* upping the game with Resolve! Though I do think that Avid's track patching scheme is a little bit more intuitive, but otherwise, you can *really* tell that they have *real editors* on staff and actually understand the editing process! Kudos!!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Yeah its sure getting all the little holes filled in that was missing. I agree - I like the simpler - big V1 - A1 in Avid more too, but the track selector actually does quite a bit of stuff, it's not just like sync locks. Thanks for watching!

[@dmd3520]

Finally they seem to have a closer look at the details that make AVID a very fast and effective experience when it comes to basic cutting. These things aren't obvious if you are casually editing but very important in more complex projects that also have time constraints. Still some ground to cover for Resolve in this area but definately a step in the right direction.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Yep I agree, its very encouraging to see. What do you feel like Resolve is missing the most?

[@maneldiago2982]

Avid's track patch selector scheme is 100% my bet... 🙏🏻

[@dmd3520]

​​​@@CreativeVideoTips To name a few things: In AVID I used to do a lot of advanced trimming. Although, in theory, you could probably do basically the same thing in Resolve, advanced trimming feels clunky and slow to "set up". I don't know... I have just adapted to a different style of cutting in Resolve but sometimes I do miss the "magic" of advanced trimming. Not really fond of the track patching system in general in Resolve. Can't really put my finger on why, I just think AVID has a more simple and direct approach. Maybe in part a UI thing? Probably a too "fundamental" area in a NLE to be revamped from the ground up though, but just this new ability of "swipeing" track selectors in Resolve is going to be a blessing. I think the "out of sync" indicator and the dupe detection in the timeline in Resolve behaves kind of mysteriously. Feel it's more stable and consistent in AVID. That being said, I really like Resolve. In many areas it totally crushes AVID as a stand alone app.

[@vinodhvarma6075]

In Premiere & FCP we can apply transitions without trimming the clips. But in Resolve, Trimming is must which takes extra time. Is there any fix for this in 19.1update?

[@toxotis70]

@@dmd3520 i totally agree with you... trimming is much nicer in Avid and track patching too.

[@PatrickStirling]

fantastic rundown of specific features that will make a big difference for editors. I'll be recommending this video to people all over the place

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Hey thanks, likewise @patrick - this update caught me off guard while I'm testing an m4 mini. I'm excited to see you teach on the new dissolve/switch node!

[@TechnoPandaMedia]

I had no idea, all this was even possible!

[@Alex-wt7dp]

YEEEESSS! Right clicking for audio track selection, source timeline patching, swiping for timeline track selection, batch exporting DRT/XML/etc, all game changers as a Resolve offline editor. Thanks as always for the super useful and comprehensive info, Chadwick!! :) Now if only all my shortcuts worked while I'm in the Cinema viewer mode... :/

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks Alex! This was a rough unscripted one, but glad to get my enthusiasm out today. Ooh yeah cinema mode with timeline controls would be nice. I hadn't thought of that. I could see that really good on a laptop.

[@marloncorbe]

The ability to use the source monitor to insert sequences, timelines, or multicam clips, just like in AVID, is a fantastic feature for editing fiction. This could mark the beginning of DaVinci as a go-to tool for series editing. Additionally, a single-click audio routing function, similar to AVID’s, is one of AVID’s biggest advantages. If DaVinci continues to adopt more of AVID’s capabilities, it could secure a strong place in the fiction editing industry.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Couldn't agree more! This is really the thing its been missing. Can you clarify what you mean by single-click audio routing? Do you mean turning the orange box on/off changing the track destination?

[@marloncorbe]

@@CreativeVideoTips What I mean is that by right-clicking on a selected audio channel, I can switch it to another embedded audio channel or, as you say, change the microphone.

[@NOMOFilms]

Your videos on Resolve are always the best, thank you!

[@EricMueller-wt8vx]

Thanks for this great overview of the updates! I moved away from Media Composer about 18 years ago, but I still miss its core timeline methodology. I moved from MC to FCP to Premiere to FCPX back to PP and finally to Resolve, but my fingers still can't fly across the keyboard as fast as they did on Avid. These last couple of updates from BMD are starting to change that. There are so many talented people teaching Resolve on KZbin, but your videos always appeal the most to my "inner editor." Cheers!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks so much for watching Eric, yeah I'm maybe stuck in some old school editing methodology - but I sure love learning from everyone in this Resolve tutorial world. Now back to testing the new M4 mini :)

[@onemagicdude]

It's great to see that Resolve finally got these features that we've had for a while in Premiere Pro. No! I mean it! It's great to have competition. It makes both apps better! 👌

[@CreativeVideoTips]

yep competition is what makes for better products :)

[@ameensabah2261]

Hey Chad! Thanks for great content I really appreciate it. Quastioning how you did name audio tracks by mic name on the source?

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Hi thank you, the tracks came in that way. Mix-Pre, tentancle track-e etc.. can all apply that in the device. You might be able to assign it in the metadata tab on the media page though? I haven't tried that.

[@O.W_Films]

Good changes, do you think they will add spread timeline for Apple trackpad without pressing option? 🤔

[@photojoseph]

Dang these are great tips. I used to use “best friend” in my FCP days; had no idea it worked in Resolve this way!

[@089spiderman]

Yay, long overdue. I am so happy they finally listened. Now, if we could get rid of swap timeline by steping into the source timeline instead, that would be amazing :) Just like the green playhead mode in AVID.

[@DaleBoyce2012]

This is huge! Thank you for posting this video.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SimonSezSo]

Great explanations. I was uncertain what a lot of those new features were.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

team 2 films has a great video out that covers quite a few more - these are the 5 I found most valuable

[@burkfinley]

Hey Chadwick, thanks for your videos which are always informative. Something you didn’t touch on here, but I think is a game changer for those of us coming from Avid or Premiere for unscripted or scripted content: being able to set up a multicam and "use source audio files" to retain source audio format (ie poly wav files from a mixer), and then decompose that audio when cutting it into an edit timeline while retaining multicam video. This essentially allows us to work with multi cams much in the same way we do in Premiere or Avid, from the composer window to the edit timeline.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Very cool! I need to try that out this week. Thanks for sharing.

[@buuts]

Finally source sequence audio patching! I’ve been begging for this on the forums along with 100x other AVID editors. Still don’t understand why we have to swap the monitors rather than the source timeline just remaining in the left monitor… hard to get used to this.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Yeah - the monitor switching is odd coming from avid, but thankfully we can still see a full timeline down below

[@jer3006]

Really great tips, thank you! Wondering: To change the mic track, where do the alternate mic clips need to be, just in the Media Pool, or already in the timeline on another track, or already on this track in another spot?

[@CreativeVideoTips]

thanks - the other channels would need to first by synced to the video clip in the media pool, or just recorded that way into camera. Then you can change them on the timeline.

[@mc25141]

Finally, always looking forward for timeline swap, as I usually cut in avid media composer. Thank you so much for all useful tips! Hope someday davinci resolve will get the quick transition windows as in media composer :)

[@CreativeVideoTips]

You are so welcome! regarding the transitions - its no the same - but have seen the inspector window options? You can set a transition to a shortcut key and right click any of them to be the "standard" transition.

[@JakeWipp]

Oh I've wanted that swiping feature for so long! Great video!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Heck yeah Jake - That swipe is so much easier :)

[@mpeg2000]

Interesting to see other people's editing workflow and them wishing for things that i never ever used in almost 20 years of editing. In&out points in timeline for example.. only used them to loop or export and always wondered why it behaved so strange when copying something for example and i forgot the get rid of in&out. Speaking of looping a segment.. what's the reason for having to click on the loop icon AND having to press a dedicated shortcut to play the loop? Seems like one or the other should be sufficient, no?

[@ramiaiki]

Great video Chadwick, since I have been an Avid user for decades,there is one option I hope BMD listen to me and activate the Zoom Audio Waveform in edit page as well!!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Ooh that would be good, its already there on Fairlight. command k and l in avid right? ;)

[@ramiaiki]

@ yes it’s only active in fairlight, I don’t know why it’s not in edit page, I remember in DR 16 or 17, I’m not sure which version,it was enabled in edit page🤔

[@Travisharger]

It’s dumb, but I’m most stoked about the paste play head fix and microphone selection. Those were sooo annoying before. Auto syncing bins is cool.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

certainly not dumb - I can tell you use the software a lot when thats what really matters - I love this update too

[@kevinbillington9773]

I used to shift click the track selectors to switch them all on or off, so drag is nice

[@Rallyboy]

Gamechanger!!! Thanks for letting us know bro

[@CreativeVideoTips]

No problem 👍

[@KenF097]

Great video. You are my first stop for new features as you are a power user and point out the important features! The ability to deselect “Automatically create audio tracks” is soooooooo long overdue. Question though, in your last example you were able to repatch 1 source track. What I can’t figure out is what if I want to select and patch 2 source audio tracks. There is only 1 track available in the destination sequence. In my experience, the destination sequence does not adjust what tracks are available based on the source audio.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks Ken - Yeah I maybe should have expanded that explanation - but it does work. Lets say you want 3 of the 4 tracks to the timeline. Just make sure you pre-make 3 audio tracks on the timeline. When you load the source up, you can right click on the numbers in the track header to make assingments for the destination. If the track is already patched (A2 to A2, you don't see the option to change it because its already patched).

[@KenF097]

Got it. Thanks… one more question. If I have a synced clip (dual system sound) on my timeline and let’s say it has 6 lavs and I match frame that clip, when it goes into the source window it does not bring in all of the synced sound so I have to then find in media pool, put it into the source and then I have access to the full sync sound. Do you have a solution for that? I’ve been stumped on that for years!! Thanks again.

[@RajeshPradhanTube]

thanks for video As I tried to Swap time & Source Viewer, Only Nested clip is insert on Timeline instead of Clip. did I miss any setting?

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Yes - I forgot to mention - there is another setting - "decompose compound clips on edit" - turn this on down at the bottom of the edit menu. Also - check out this older tutorial that talks about that - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH-9lp2noNFmd7M - sorry.

[@RajeshPradhanTube]

@@CreativeVideoTips Thank you So Much. This option is really looking for Resolve.

[@magnefilms]

Hey Chad! Congratulations on your content; you’ve helped me a lot recently. I have an audio question related to switching audio channels. I usually record with a boom mic on a recorder and capture two characters’ audio with the DJI mics (recording each character’s audio separately within the mics). It’s for a scene, basically... I use Syncalia to sync everything, and then I make a compound clip to edit more easily without dealing with multiple tracks. Is there an easier way to do this using channels? I’ve been searching everywhere for years and haven’t found a tutorial on this. Thanks so much!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Hey thanks, also syncaila is a gem - great software. The compound clips works, you could also right click and link the separate audio clips together, but only on a timeline. Before a final mix pass you will want to decompose the compound clips.

[@magnefilms]

@@CreativeVideoTips Yes, that’s usually my process: sync first, then create compound clips, followed by color and audio work. Editing multiple takes and cuts with so many audio tracks can be overwhelming. I’m still trying to figure out how to embed audio directly into the clip in DaVinci Resolve, with each microphone as its own channel rather than a separate track. Thanks for the response-I’m following all your content closely.

[@jaydelturco]

Thanks for the great video! Why is using swap timeline better than using stacked timelines? Is it just you have more screen real estate for all the layers or am I missing something else that makes the workflow better? It would seem that having both timelines on screen at the same time would be more convenient. That is how I usually take shots from my selects timelines to my main timeline.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Thanks for watching - I prefer it for screen space, like you mentioned, but also find it more responsive then tabbing between timelines - if I tab fast it can lock up sometimes on bigger timelines. If you are doing the top/bottom stacked pancake style that works too, but I never have enough space to see on any display - maybe my eyes are getting bad.

[@jaydelturco]

@@CreativeVideoTips Thanks for the quick response! Your explanation makes total sense. I like stacked timelines because I like to categorize my selects in separate timelines. Being able to have all of the selects timelines open in the bottom stack and my main timeline on the top makes that easier for me.

[@peterlee4683]

Finally, adding the toggle from Media Composer to Resolve. Thank you Jesus!!!

[@ThisIsLeeBird]

Got a request. Editing a podcast, you know how some will start the episode off with clips from it? Is there an efficient way to do that process? I guess it could work with anything really.

When I first started using Davinci Resolve years ago, my laptop at the time could not handle the software. The video playback would stick and stutter so badly and I tried all the render cache options. When I finally upgraded to a new, more powerful laptop (being able to use DR was high on my priority list) the video playback ran like breeze. It did not take long to love this software. After a few updates to v18 unfortunately the sticking and stuttering started again. Thankfully I keep updating when new versions come out and I do not know what they have done in v19, but the playback is smoooooth again. The footage even seems to load faster and best part is render cache is on "None".

[@CreativeVideoTips]

This is great to hear. There is so much that goes into getting smooth playback, but whenever you're able to and not under a time crunch - it seems like updating resolve is always a good idea. What kind of computer do you use?

@@CreativeVideoTipsYes and many people are moving over to DR because it keeps getting better. I have an HP Spectre (the sexy looking one 😀). My previous laptop was a Vaio. Unfortunately Vaio was not making laptops anymore.

[@avdpost]

I'm excited the test the AAF round tripping to see if any of the metadata changes have impacted that process.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Ah yes, I'll be curious if that has changed. My AAF workflow to send Audio out to Protools is just to embed the audio into the file with handles. Is this what you are referring to?

[@avdpost]

@@CreativeVideoTips It's just the metadata passthrough that somethings get fuzzy. Like rendering to mxf strips it all away but mov/lcm doesn't. Right now I still can't get polywavs to expand and transfer to protools without revealing them all in the timeline first. While the manual says that polywav channels should travel along to protools even if only connected via metadata. I'd love to figure out a way to be able to link directly to the source location audio so a protools editor can access all the discrete channels without needing a third party tool like ediload (still exploring this workflow too). So it's nice to see I can manually dictate the video / audio metadata exchange to avoid over writing during a manual sync. Which I occasionally have to do when fixes tiny timecode sync errors or slipping on dailies.

[@lamlo]

@@avdpost When I tested this before on a previous version of Resolve, the Export to Pro Tools preset renders out new audio files and rewrites the file names and strips out all the metadata except for the timecode (no matter if you select embedded or linked). This made it a little more complicated to link back to the original location audio files. I then tried exporting an AAF from the timeline instead, but found out that some metadata gets ruffled up when syncing picture to the location audio files, causing the AAF to not link back up to the original location audio files (Ediload has been great btw. I wanted to test out Kraken too, but I'm on a PC). My workaround was instead of syncing, I would make a sync map and make compound clips for each shot, edit the timeline, and then decompose all the shots before sending an AAF. It seemed to work the best, but isn't very practical. I plan on doing more tests on v19, and I've heard someone saying that exporting an AAF from the Media composer preset works better.

[@avdpost]

@@lamlo in v18.5 I was able to pass some metadata through, but admittedly I’m so new to protools it was hard to know what came across besides what I could read in the timeline. But I was able to send track titles like Boom, Lav, talent mic names. The only way this worked was if I used the QuickTime Renderer and exported .wav files (lcm). Handles worked fine as well but the only hang up for me was a polywav workflow like ediload might allow. I was able to use the standard linking system in Resolve and send to ProTools using the protools preset as standard AAF didn’t translate subframe editing changes or retiming nor automation correctly. But it still doesn’t allow for linking to the original media, so still need to explore ediload further.

[@lamlo]

@@avdpost Interesting, thanks for the info! I’m going to have to do some more testing when I get the chance. Also, look into using Pro Tool’s workspace window to view more metadata. For this, I usually just use Sound Devices’ old but still reliable Wave Agent software to identify and manipulate the important metadata (it’s free too). I think Soundly will allow you to see it all too (also free if you don’t go for their subscription). As for Ediload, I do highly recommend exploring it further. Even if you have perfect metadata in the AAFs, assembling the location wav files with Ediload is so much easier than using Pro Tool’s built in Field recorder guide track function.

[@christoferowe7121]

[@ja-kidnb6416]

They destroyed the copy and paste behavior. Now you can't copy the end of clips to an out point anymore. Instead it always goes to the playhead, which is a huge step backwards! Regarding the fixed track targeting: I made so many posts on the forum and DM'ed so many developers over the years. Can't believe they finally fixed that.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Yeah - I'm sure all the feedback about track targeting helped encourage this change. It's super welcomed by every resolve editor I know. Copy/Paste, is tricky - it does change the established hierarchy - but I also see many confused young editors when they don't realize they had an in mark on the timeline.

[@ja-kidnb6416]

@@CreativeVideoTips I feel that but still taking away the possibility to copy and paste according to the I/O Points is a punch in the stomach.... There should be at least an option to get the old usage back

[@editorialbrain]

I just tried it out a bit, do you know if there's a "restore track destination" type command? I think it unfortunately doesn't exist. There's moving them up / down, toggling them but... if you've really scrambling them up in track patching it REALLY blows to not have a restore to default desinations type command. In avid I use restore track patch default 100s of times a day. I'm sure they'll add it but, that's a miss. I'd love to be wrong though! I got to do a trim pass on a pilot in resolve coming up and I already upgraded to 19.1 to to advantage of these new features.

Also, when I went to create the video, I went through the same steps that I did previously in other versions but it wouldn't render the video. Are there someway to fix these issues?

[@CreativeVideoTips]

This is a tough one - I have heard there are some issues with 19.1. A lot of times renders break because of a plugin missing, or a corrupt frame, or maybe a variable frame rate footage. If you're able to, roll back to 19.0.3 and repot this to blackmagic on thier website with the crash log.

Hi there, am using latest Davinci Resolve on Macbook M3 Pro 16”. I am facing a performance issue on my playback when using some effects like Whip in/out, Zoom in/o out. Also adding Motion blur becomes a reason for a huge performance drop. I was expecting that a Macbook this expensive wouldn’t face this issues. I use proxys, set my resolution to 1/4 but it doesn’t help! The whole projects starts to lag, the playback is at 2fps and i can not work properly. The whole timeline becomes red every time i adjust one of the clips. I tried all of your tips but nothing really helped me. I would be very happy if you could help me with this problem!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Hi - no matter how much money or power you put at a computer, it will always ask for more. The biggest things are to set the timeline resolution to 1080p with 1080p or smaller ProRes/DnX proxy files. But yes - motion blur is very hard to calculate and takes time. Jake Wipp has a plugin set that optimizes this for zoom that works very good. Mr. Alexs zoom are also great, but I don't use those with motion blur. But yeah - even on "max" computers I edit 1080, then change res to 4k before output.

[@acdi33]

I'm still hoping and praying for the day Resolve will be able to show Timeline Markers in the Source Viewer for my Stringouts.... 😢

Since the new update I can't just drop clips to anything other than V1. Even though I have V2, V3, etc.

[@TroyQwert]

Whatever minor options they implement, for me the biggest expectation would be the Delivery. With all features and effects (esp. Super Scale aka Upscale with all that noise reduction and sharpening). I know, lots depend on the hardware, but software has it's say too. And, of course, PLAYBACK. Maybe Playback even goes first for me.

[@DogFiles]

I don't know, copy and paste might be simpler quicker.

It can be - really just depends, this older method is intended to be completely mouseless - but you can go mouseless with tabbed timelines/copy paste and a few shortcuts too.

A major, almost indispensable feature is still (incredibly) missing: a global search function that lets you find items (projects, bins, media, timelines etc..) across one or multiple databases. Can't believe Blackmagic has still not thought this essential feature over.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

this is a great feature request - you should add it to the bmd forum

[@ROYALVIDEOS_ROYALVIDEOS]

I don’t get way Davince Resolve just does not make the render cash do it in real time just like Final Cut for someone people with a les powerful computer that would be amazing i hope Davince is listening. Thank you great video be safe and take care.

I'm really disturbed by the new track selection mecanic... for before it was easier... Just clic on the box and done... Also i don't understand why the shortcuts don't work anymore... ALT+1 etc ... Was better than this new right click mecanic. Or i'm missing something may be 🤔🤔

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Hi - the shortcuts should still work, if they don't - I would revert to the default, and customize from there again with all your extra goodies. I don't know why they removed the click function, but drag on and drop does work to re-patch.

[@joesmithebike385]

All the updates are not useful to me. How about fixing the timeline footage order issue? Every time I drag footage from the desktop, the order of the clips reverses, forcing me to delete all the clips in the timeline and re-import them from the media pool to get everything in the correct order. Regarding sensitivity control for lift*, *gamma*, *gain*, and *master adjustments when using a mouse: achieving precise adjustments without a dedicated panel can be difficult. A firmware update that allows users to set the sensitivity of these controls when using a mouse would greatly benefit many users. But it seems they're leaning toward encouraging panel purchases instead. The people at Blackmagic are incredibly frustrating to deal with and seem to be quite stubborn.

As an FCPX editor this is painful to watch.

[@sleepsoundly4728]

Can blackmagic just copy Avid for Resolve's edit page and call it a day? That would solve most world problems

[@ShawnBustamante]

PLEASE! I need help! I just watched an older video of yours about doing a clean install of DaVinci as a possible bug fix. I followed your instructions perfectly and was able to successfully do a clean install but it didn't fix my issue. I tried calling BlackMagic tech support and they directed me to an online forum. But I was still unable to fix my issue. I'm having media offline issues but the files haven't been moved. I've relinked all the clips and even did the clean install. The codec I'm using is h.264 4:2:2. When I go the deliver tab certain thumbnails show media offline but when I playback the timeline in the edit tab all the clips are there. I unchecked the stop renders tab when a frame or clip cannot be processed just to see what the render would look like. And it's not a whole clip that shows up missing its parts of the clip. So I see flashes of the red screen of death throughout the export. I'm working on an M1 iMac connected to a Samsung T7 through the Thunderbolt 4 port. I've tried all the KZbin fixes. When I check the stop renders tab I get partially complete and I get render failed error decoding full resolution media and proxy. I give up! If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Oof, that sounds terrible Shawn. I'm sorry. Do you by chance have phone footage on the timeline? If so, it likely variable frame rate and the problem. I had this on a job last week. I ran it through an app called shutter encoder to force a fixed frame rate and then it was fine. If that's not the case, I would try to divide and conquer the timeline to narrow it down to a specific clip? I/O half the timeline, half of that etc...

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

Try it with the smart render cache turned off? The cache can introduce some anomalies I find at times.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

@@oo0Spyder0oo yeah good idea - sometimes it gets corrupt, or if the cache drive moved will show as offline

[@ShawnBustamante]

@@CreativeVideoTips First of all thank you for the quick response. And yes it has been a nightmare. This has happened on two projects so far and I can't waste anymore time troubleshooting this. But no all the footage was shot on my Sony A7iv in S-log 3 at 60 fps. I've been using DaVinci for over a year with the same setup and never had an issue. I want to say I noticed it first when I updated to version 19 maybe? This issue is on multiple clips. I created a new timeline and decomposed in place and it fixed a lot of the clips. So I don't think it's an issue with the actual clip since I was able to fix quite a few with this method. But I'm desperate I've got multiple projects that need to done before the new year. So any suggestions you have would be appreciated.

[@ShawnBustamante]

Yeah that's a no go on the smart render cache off. But good suggestion.

[@gregorypenetrante1272]

OMG it took, how many years for Resolve???? 😜

[@CreativeVideoTips]

haha yeah - but hey it's here and it works :) Couple this with all the other stuff in this software and its pretty amazing.

[@garretreed9709]

Can’t wait until they make it possible to leave stacked timelines on cause it’s annoying enabling it every single week

[@CreativeVideoTips]

thats a good feature request that could maybe be a layout preset - I would bring it up on the bmd forum

[@JohnSchimkeFilm]

much better...

[@CreativeVideoTips]

Yeah, it seems small to some folks. It's huge for me.

[@JohnSchimkeFilm]

@ haha yes. It’s why I prefer editing in Avid. I remember emailing you years ago asking about multi channel audio editing and now finally something!

[@CreativeVideoTips]

@@JohnSchimkeFilm Have you noticed any shops transition from avid to resolve? The commercial shop I've worked at the past couple years in NY seems to be the first here - but I really think there will be more movement in the coming months/years

[@rafpar57]

Still no OMF export available

[@CreativeVideoTips]

I don't see this as something that would be added at this point. Does AAF not work for your workflow? OMF is such an old format.

[@rafpar57]

@@CreativeVideoTips Here in Italy I find that a lot of people still work with omf, especially when dealing with television delivery. I think this is why people are resilient to make the full switch to resolve from traditional systems outside the color page: sometimes you simply have to dialog with other professionals (like a sound mixer) and resolve happens to fall short with this little things. I personally would throw away any other editing program and stick with an all in one system like resolve but when I have to collaborate with others I find myself opening Premiere just to create an OMF and I really wish that process was easier.

[@CreativeVideoTips]

@@rafpar57 gotcha - I should make a tutorial on this - but basically I do the same to send to ProTools mixers, but use AAF instead of OMF. It's functions the same, stores the audio inside the single file, but is not limited to 4GB like the old OMF format. All ProTools systems have in the last 10 years will take AAF.

[@rafpar57]

@@CreativeVideoTips Yeah I prefer working with AAF too but I find myself at times working with dudes that worked on TV already in the 80s and they run the same systems they used to work with like in the early 2000s (sometimes even in the same computers!! 🤦‍♂) and there is no time for me to explain how to import AAF and bla bla. If they want a OMF they will eventually get an OMF. But if we see resolve as a program for the future, I can see why they want to overtake the old OMF and stick with the AAF, way more efficient.

[@VitzGaming]

6th!

[@davletshine]

Yeah, cool. How about proper keyframes editor and management, and spline editor in editing page, and bug fixes, and many many other crucial features. I swear, BM trolling. Oh, yeah, THX FOR THE CUT PAGE AND OTHER SHIT ITS VERY USEFUL. How is that Nuke Studio is better EDITING tool? Insane. I like DaVinci, ive been using it for 8 years, but man, there are so many gaps and they keep introducing unnecessary stuff over necessary, it drives me crazy

[@CreativeVideoTips]

I'm not a Nuke Studio guy, but I get the frustration. I think today there is still plenty to be excited about - and also remember nobody that uses Resolve pays that high Nuke Studio license cost.

[@skapeedits]

I think we just have to patient, but I also don’t understand why they neglect keyframing so much. Almost every keyframe interface (curve editor in the edit page, keyframe editor in fusion, keyframes in the color page, no keyframing for audio fx in the edit page) feels clunky and outdated or just inefficient, except fusions spline. Keyframing is one of the most essential principles of editing and should be easy to use and provide the necessary control imo. Maybe they are just scared of touching the old code in case it breaks other stuff idk.

[@davletshine]

@@CreativeVideoTips thats true

[@davletshine]

@skapeedits hey, many people have been asking for this for many years, im kinda lost hope. But it is what it is

[@rano12321]

Yeah, they might've fixed those issues, but they probably put out the worst update so far. They've limited the API on the free version, which basically makes scripts like Reactor, Snap captions unavailable in the Free version. Now i do get the reason to put more features in the paid version and less in the free to make the paid version worth the money but taking away something that was already there is such a scummy move, i never thought i'd see this from BMD.
