*CORRECTIONS and FAQs* What PROGRAM do I use to edit? // What PROGRAM is this? - DaVinci Resolve Is DaVinci Resolve (the editing program) free? -Yes you get it from the Blackmagic Design Website for FREE and everything I show is in the Free version unless mentioned otherwise. www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/ 27:35 - It is actually not using AI in order to interpolate the frames but a vector based calculation. Thank you r/JustCropIt for the correction. 44:08 I forgot to add the " - " in front of "scale" in the expression, that is why at the end I had to adjust the shake so it didn't jump weirdly, if you have the subtraction sign, you wouldn't have to fix it.

[@macroura.]

Hey peej, just decided to watch if u had any tips, W video, I wanted to ask if theres any benefit to using multiple transforms node like you did in this video compared to just one transform, or is it just preference so you can use CTRL A

[@PeeJ_ENT]

I use multiple transforms because I usually overlap keyframe movements, I’m not sure if the video has many overlapping movements but you generally want them isolated onto different nodes, generally when you overlap keyframes with different nodes the movements have a nicer gradual change in momentum allowing for smoother movements A good example of it is my typography in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYu4fWWpf9Kng9Usi=s3-MlRpjBd-GrGMY

Whats the purpose of an adjustment clip

[@doctorcraycray]

Hey do you have any recommendations for more fast paced AMV's? Such as transitions and and effects rather than more sort of edit type videos? thanks.

I would still use the techniques in this vid for a faster edit, ex. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXzSo2eue8h5kNk

Bro i never leeave comeents but dude I think I'm in love with you bro this was very helpful and love you way you but the steps things on thee botten right

[@benriki]

one problem tho if I rightclick a clip, it doesn´t pop up like it does at you is it because i use the free version or can someone explain thank you this still helps a lot

[@PeeJ_ENT]

It should be the same, I'm not sure if you are using a mouse or a trackpad but if you have a track pad you might need to hit another button to properly right click

[@asgraniket]

in time stretcher node, do we need to check box every box or is it fine to only check box cramp edges

[@PeeJ_ENT]

I would suggest at least one prev and next so it can properly sample the scenes, but it’s up to you tho, if it works without it, it works without it

[@asgraniket]

@@PeeJ_ENT is there any tips for rendering the edits as it is too much time consuming for my recent edit, so right now I'm doing render cache color output after creating a complete compound clip of all the clips,effects and transitions & then I'm rendering the edit by check boxing using render cached images in render settings but only issue i have is that it is taking way too much time for render cache color output turning of blue bar from red bar, I am just asking if you have any tips or something which can be effective otherwise it's fine because you are already helping me quite a lot I can't ask for more 🙏😊
