[@carlos_mann]

Is there a "Remix" feature like in other video editor alternatives? And is there a Watermark Tag removal feature ?

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

As a decades-long audio recording engineer (and musician), it's great to see Resolve - and particularly the Fairlight page - slowly but surely creeping up on standalone DAWs in terms of capabilities. Using Logic Pro, Wavelab, or Audition (that's Adobe - yuk) has its challenges in terms of bringing the audio back into Resolve and lining everything up. For those who can't afford a separate DAW, Audacity can do a remarkably good job. But the more Fairlight capabilities there are, the less we need to stray outside Resolve. It's just confirmation that DaVinci Resolve is by far the best way to invest both time and a little money into. Great video, Dunna - thanks. Keep 'em coming.

[@dunnadidit]

Amen to that! It’s been a little tough to trudge through things in fairlight that would be so easy and so basic in pro tools (what I’m used to from my recording engineer/producer life) but they’re slowly making it easier to get things done!

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

@@dunnadidit Also worth pointing out that Resolve/Fairlight recognises most VST or AU audio plugins. Well worth exploring whatever plugins you may have in either format (VST or AU if on Mac) and seeing just how much can be done with those within Fairlight. For example, my current project needs some nice gentle audio compression, (to even out some extremely quiet audio with some very loud audio), and I'm using the Waves C1 stereo compressor - all within Fairlight. Too easy to forget that those are all available to us sometimes.

[@dunnadidit]

100%!! One of the reasons I haven’t done many sound tutorials in resolve is because I’m always using izotope, or slate, or fabfilter plugins and not everyone has access to them lol 😂

[@DerSchaddan]

FINALLY I've literally been asking for this for the last 10 years or so, at any vendor I had the opportunity to including Resolve!

[@dunnadidit]

Nice!

[@Morroh]

As a musician who wants to create content and Davinci user. This is so incredibly helpful. If I’m doing a play through up and I need to sync my camera audio/video with the recorded audio in my daw I no longer have to line it up by hand via eyeballing the waveform/transients. I should be able to load in the song to Davinci, set the tempo and time signature, and then snap the camera audio to the grid. So stoked for this feature! Thanks for the rundown sir!

[@dunnadidit]

Heck yes! This is a great use case for that!

[@ThisIsTechToday]

ah, heck yeah, this is great! This is so helpful to know and it's amazing that they added this to resolve. The musician in me looooooves this.

[@dunnadidit]

Haha I was wondering how long it would take for my musician friends to show up to this video lol.

[@joshmoxey.]

Great video as always, man. Your videos never feel like a typical tutorial, gear review, etc. They have so much life to them 💯

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much Josh!

[@christopherhumphrey]

Awesome video! I've had to double up a song to fit the length of a video. This video solves that issue. Thanks!!!

[@RWes9]

Great video. I got confused by the explanations of other creators, but what you are telling in your video makes perfect sense and actually works.

[@dunnadidit]

Amazing! So glad to hear that!

[@thanosskillet]

Never though of something like that, super useful. Especially if they make an update and you can have notes grid in edit window!

[@dave.skilton]

Literally every video I make has all of its edits on the beat. Thanks so much for this fantastic and clear explanation. My workflow just got a whole lot easier!

[@dunnadidit]

Glad to hear it will help!

[@DaniyelBingham]

Dunna Did It Again with this tutorial. This new feature tutorial was thorough and demonstrated in tools and techniques I can easily replicate and eventually master. This workflow will enhance my viewing videos.

[@Thomasmcse]

Thanks for the great explanation! Very important before doing something really wrong in Davinci!

[@dunnadidit]

Glad you liked it!

[@TobiasWeberRSA]

Coming with one of the most useful tips again! I've always struggled with lining up audio and making it still sound proper. This is a massive help! Thanks so much!

[@dunnadidit]

Great to hear!

[@malcomowenflood]

I've referenced this video like 5 times in the last 3 days - thanks for making this!

[@dunnadidit]

So great to hear that!!

[@AndreSjoberg]

So exited for this to hit the edit page at some point - looking forward to the first video edit made to a 7/4 progrock tune ;)

[@dunnadidit]

Haha 😂 we’ll have to ask black magic for a software update to give us more complex time signatures.

[@DDHDTV]

Lol, just finished a little reel trying to follow another tutorial and it didn't properly align with the beat. Therfor ditched it, but this makes so much more sense, thank you!

[@tverdyznaqs]

Damn so fairlight IS actually useful for something, huh! It's kinda like having a mini FL Studio in tab, I never knew I wanted something like that but I might as well use it since it's there! Thanks for the video man, it's the only good one on this specific topic that I've seen so far

[@talltim84]

Really appreciate this. My wife is an oboist and wants to start a youtube channel. She needs a piano accompaniment track added to her video and I'll reference your video when its time. Thanks!

[@RodolfoVanzini]

You'd get a double "like" only for the 60-second music lesson: priceless. Even though I studied music for 40 (!) years. If only I could give you the double like!

[@heyJordanParker]

The best and shortest music lesson on KZbin. Wow.

[@CliffMelerine]

Great video, Will be nice when they get some of the warping features like Abelton Live!

[@flipfilms1759]

This is great cuz I used to have to guess until I found the perfect frame to use for re-arranging a song or starting to put a new one in. Sometime's I'll combine two less busy songs or take elements from one into another within editing, and this makes it so much easier. Assuming the BPM matching isn't horribly off.

[@dunnadidit]

Totally!

[@Secondcropcreative]

Dunnnnnna - damn man, I'm late to the party but this is awesome! Thanks for the detailed explanation.

[@dunnadidit]

My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching!

[@elcasanelles5806]

Guess that the best way to let the algorithm know that this is the video that explains this correctly is by liking and commenting, so just did both.

[@pablodm9]

This video was pure GOLD

[@VideographerLearnings-bd8ur]

Great tutorial! Really clear and comprehensive 🙌🏻

[@GlenReed]

Great tutorial man!! Definitely going to be using this feature!!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks Glen! Hopefully we can get the word out on this! I think it is super handy for lots of people!

[@user-vx1hs4mv6q]

hello Dunna, this video was very helpful. Would that be possible to have tutorial explaining how to do this amazing effects applied in 3.38-3.40 second? Once again thank for creating ultra-practical and as always inspiring content!

[@JimRobinson-colors]

AI analysing the tempo might be a tall order, but surely BMD could add the tap tempo functionality. Something tells me that apply the grid on the edit and cut page is also something that is completely doable. The videos that I saw on this, it was obvious to me that the youTuber didn't know how to count the tempo either. They could also incorporate the tempo into calculating echos for vocals as well. Really bad hearing amateur mixers add echos that are off time to the tempo. This is long awaited for a lot of people using Resolve- I just feel that they could have consulted with some users and got it closer ( in my opinion ) but I think you got it right as to how it is now. Good job.

[@dunnadidit]

I agree with you across the board. I’ve been a music producer/recording engineer for 15 years and these are functions that have been inside music softwares (that are pretty similar to the fair light page) for years. So hopefully they’ll see that and start to add those things too.

[@coldheartcloud]

thank you sm. you saved me a lot of time and frustration by explaining it correctly

[@Sara-tp6zd]

Best YT CHANNEL for editing videos 🎉

[@DanielLight]

Thanks! Super helpful.

[@dunnadidit]

My pleasure!!

[@jdpainson]

AMAZING VIDEO !!!! Thank you so much ! Your videos are excellent !!!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks a ton!

[@cam16film]

Coming from a Musician Hobby Producer and a Filmmaker this is fun 😅

[@MilesVanlife]

Love this video! Thank you for making this soooooo crystal clear!

[@NinjaYodinTV]

Really great video! Explaining the similarities and the crossover points, of two different coins, to be easily understood, was fantastic to watch! Subbed! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@BrianTheCameraGuy]

Dunna!!! This video is soooo good. This has been my biggest struggle since switching to Resolve. Well this and the audio ducking. This makes it so much easier to cut music up vs having to send to Audition and then bring back To Resolve. I was doing that to extend songs. This is huge!!!

[@Flamamacue]

This is something I've wished NLEs to add for years. It seems like such a simple function for a very common use case. Bonus points to just have a setting to have the program autodetect BPMs given how doable that has been for years

[@jankraus5328]

Nicely explained, thank you!

[@dunnadidit]

Cheers!

[@Dardjiskien]

Killer! And the minute about music beats is a super killer! 👌🏽

[@turbotambourine]

This is gonna save me so much time editing my videos on modular synths! I’m also never using a rounded bpm! Can you have different timings throughout a timeline?

[@WhereisBrad]

This is going to improve my editing sooooo much! No more adding markers by ear!

[@WhereisBrad]

I'm also using the "Show Audio Scroller" to fine tune my playhead position when setting the positions without having to zoom my main timeline.

[@stehume]

such a good lesson thank you

[@ergoabraham]

I was looking exactly for this!!! TY💕💕

[@ZaGaElectronic]

Looks like I'll finally have to make the change from Adobe to Davinci. This is just too good to pass up.

[@dunnadidit]

Come to the dark side muahahahahaha

[@ClémentFoucault]

Thank you for the tut! This video is a lifesaver!

[@Shauny_D]

good stuff, i'm still trying to add a metronome to it through midi, vst, au, or anything to get a metronome to play when the track is playing without having to go generate one in another program and upload back in.

[@samtang]

Love your work dunna! 👌👌👌💯

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks Sam! That means a lot!

[@TrueNorf]

Bangin Video D! It's great to see the investment that Davinci are making into their SW and not just video part but the audio. GREAT explanation on this super-powerful feature. What were the choons you played earlier in the video and please tell me you got them from audiio!

[@dunnadidit]

All the music in this video was from audiio! Not 100% on the names right now but they’re all there!

[@TrueNorf]

@@dunnadidit Would love to get a play list! Perhaps this is something you could start to share, should people wanna get hold of some of the choons, spun by Dunna….or maybe it’s selfish! I’m thinking the latter! 😂👍🏾

[@dunnadidit]

I’ll have to see what we can do! I should mention, the short music theory examples were actually just me writing something to fit what I needed quick.

[@TrueNorf]

@@dunnadidit ..And the theory inside 60 secs was SPOT ON, D! All those years of being a drummer and music producer/audio engineer came in handy! 👍🏾😁

[@dunnadidit]

Haha yeah they seem to come up every once in a while!

[@miguelherrera9269]

I am a musician. Very good quick theory lesson there!

[@kendallwooding]

This is the most helpful tutorial. I am able to get the BPM grid working in Fairlight but as soon as I go back to the "edit" screen my grid is in seconds. How do I view the BPM grid on the edit screen? Thanks!

[@Ride2Xplore]

Awesome tutorial!

[@majorediting8164]

Nice workaround…SUBSCRIBED! But boy wouldn’t it be great if DaVinci just added a “remix” feature like Pr OR Filmora!?! 😔☹️

[@MrCostaClayton]

Really good tutorial! Just wish my Video Tracks weren't restricted to FPS when moving, cutting and snapping. I want to be able to move and cut my video clips in-line with my audio!! Do you think this is something BMD could change or does it have to be that way?

[@aylenstudios]

This is such a useful tutorial send idea. Thanks for the help

[@ORod425]

As always! Amazing video…. Thanks Dunna

[@dougdina]

Great video. Very helpful. Yet, I often create longer videos whereby I have many songs. Can I have multiple tempos?

[@DavidAskerMusik]

Nice info! Is this feature available in the free version aswell? :)

[@Kev-In-Motion]

Great tutorial Dunna! Just curious if you figured this new feature out all on your own, or is there another Davinci Resolve guru you look to for new feature updates?

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks Kevin! I sorted this specific function out on my own because I have a hefty background in music production (3 college diplomas and 15 years or so of experience) so it was fairly obvious to me when I saw it in a few other videos and it wasn't doing what they said it was doing. That being said, there are a handful of really great davinci based channels that have been really helpful for my process of learning, Darren Mostyn, Mr. Alex Tech, and Casey Faris amongst others! Usually, when there's a new update, I'll just do a search and watch whoever was quickest to get videos out lol.

[@Kev-In-Motion]

@@dunnadidit Awesome, well great job and thanks for those other DR channel recs.

[@we.visuals]

Freaking awesome tutorial.

[@GatesRick]

This is sooooo awesome! Thank you!

[@FOTOLOCO_]

*I'm sure Davinci will add grids based on the Fairlight page soon. Or maybe an automation to generate markers on the timeline or track. Good update tho.*

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah hopefully they expand on this.

[@AdamSzarmack]

Man this was so helpful.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks a ton Adam!

[@bassamsalloum4247]

Very informative, is there a way to append a new video clip to the video timeline? (with the shortcut and not drag and drop). It'll always drop at the end of the music timeline instead of the video timeline. That's where FCPX stands out for me, user friendly.

[@sotakunaii]

thank you so much for this awesome video!! Do you also know if one can slow down or fasten up a video using fairlight? I have a music video in 120BPM and want it to be played in 180BPM.

[@righthererightnowproductio9525]

Damn. Excellent music theory MiniCourse. It was so concise and clear that my ADHD brain got more from it than about 7 other videos I also watched on the topic.😅

[@stehume]

I was trying to line up audio to video about a year ago, I would get it all lined up then play it back and it would be out of synch yet the clips and the audio were still all in line with each other on the timeline.....after trying loads of things out I did find the problem, my headphones are bluetooth so there was a delay, I plugged in the wire option of them and hey all synched, just a tip for anyone else who might have the same issue

[@SecrPhotography]

dunna please do a tutorial on cutout video effect

[@dunnadidit]

Ooh that would be a good one!

[@vizi_officiel]

WOW 😯 Thank you god 🙏🏻.

[@dunnadidit]

You don’t have to call me that 😜

[@stansalmaso]

The thing i'm looking for... Got some music under my drone footage, and want to show beats or ritme to change on. Is this easy to do?

[@helmanfrow]

If I have multiple pieces of music at various tempos can they have their own tempo grids on the same timeline?

[@TravelClast]

This is great but man I miss the music editor in Premiere where you can just drag the length of the track to what you need and it edits it for you ... thats like magic.

[@FallFactor]

My fairlight window does not have a video track, it's just audio 1, 2 & 3 and bus 1. How'd you get it to display video aswell?

[@DonTinsley]

Took me way back to music theory year one at the university😂

Haha except my tuition is a lot cheaper!

[@dunnadidit]

So Happy to hear that!

[@WhereisBrad]

Is there a good way to manage songs (with different start points and tempos) on the same audio track? I suppose I can keep them on separate tracks, or different timelines.

[@pollloxxx]

you can cut a 4x4 beat, 4x2, what ever, and , check out the time, and copy and paste that time to all the others clips, and all going to be cut to the beat, all going to have the same duration. But you should clean and delete the useless parts of the clips before do it, because you could delete a important or a good material. But i dont know, i do this mechanical in real time, doing a first past clean all an divide large clips, and press play an cut in real time with a shortcut, Q (for cut before) and W (to cut after). But for begginers its ok

[@Michael-lv8gt]

hey men what's better inn your opinion, motion array or envato elements?

[@dunnadidit]

I don’t know that I could pick a fav! I use both and they’re super handy. I’d just look through the assets and see which one you think you’ll get more out of.

[@AliceCatsky]

Is this function the same as Premier Pro?

[@Juanpapineda11]

Can you help me? im usin 18.5 and for some reason i cannot get to see my video clips on the fairlight page, only their respective audio tracks. Dont know why and internet doesnt seem to know

[@Johnlayne65]

You can use Audacity free audio software to find the tempo.

[@LuizCarlosDosSantos-xt7ns]

Salve a tutti! Io ho la versione davinci 18.1.2 e non capisco il perchè ma quando cerco di impostare il set tempo grid BPM questo non si attiva, è spento... e quando sono sulla grid view options/time scale/tempo, non compare le linee verticale in modo giusto. Mi potete aiutare?

coming from capcut. Its so easy in capcut with AI. this is so much manual work. sigh!

[@CarcPazu]

I appreciate their effort but at the moment this feature is so badly implemented /clunky that's pretty much unusable/reliable. The fact that it's only available from the Fairview tab makes it very awkward and hard to really use to snap your footage with a proper workflow. Also, the fact that the at the end of the day it's still working on the video (frames) grid makes it impossible to truly aligh anything properly. When you're play head is straight on a beat and add a marker, this marker doesn't snaps right on the beat, it snaps pretty far beside, probably snapping with a frame instead of an actual beat and measure. Until DaVincii figures out how to reconcile the Frames and the audio sample, this will never been a good workflow and syncing stuff with all ways be amateurish at best. They should really analyse how Vegas Pro deals with that, it's flawless.

[@aksel_ph]

А слабо выбрать обычный трек а не этот легкий где слепой увидит ноты !?
