The ULTIMATE Video Editing Multi-Tool! 5 Ways To Use Adjustment Clips.

[@LeeZavitz]

I made this perfect realistic camera shake effect and I was getting sick of redoing all the settings every time. I ended up stumbling upon the Adjustment Clip and saved it as a "preset" so now I can drop it on any time. I love Resolve.

[@dunnadidit]

Haha I have one of those too! I just did a little reverse stabilization and saved it!

[@prestonurvina]

I switched to Resolve recently and this changes everything! Thanks for the pop up title too btw!

[@dunnadidit]

Amazing! Cheers!

[@paulg3388]

This is one of the most useful Videos you have produced. I just spent an hour or two going through all my Projects, after setting up Power Bins, dragging all my MTitles to one folder, all my music, effects, adjustment clips renaming them all, and now I am set! I actually got confused a few months ago by the Master Bin, and couldn't understand why I couldn't see it on my other Projects, it was so simple, clicked the 3 dots to tick "Power Bins" .. duh !!! This will save me a TON of time .. thanks as per usual !

[@dunnadidit]

Amazing! That sounds like quite the organization session!

[@paulg3388]

@@dunnadidit I am like you, I have to have things organised to an OCD level (not saying you are OCD of course!) .. I am a Project Manager by trade so I guess if I wasn't I would fail !! :)

[@dunnadidit]

I definitely hear you! I always work better in a tidy and efficient environment… and that includes my digital environment too!

[@jer3006]

I'm sold! My first thought now in Resolve is to add an Adjustment clip just cause I know I'll use it. Thanks for the outstanding tip for using an Adj clip with compositing clips, which I have my first need for right now. Also, I'm the world's worst at getting a transition to seat between 2 clips- yeah, I've seen the pros slide the clips apart and back together and then the transition magically falls in place, mine don't- so what I have been doing is placing an Adjustment clip above the join, dragging a glitch effect onto the Adj clip, and fading the relevant ends of the video clips. A DIY transition, I guess. Well, you did ask to hear about other helpful uses, right?! Okay, it is a hack, I admit it. 🤔😂🤣

[@dunnadidit]

Heck yeah! That’s a great use for adjustment clips!

[@inSurfersParadise]

Exporting stills. Drop an adjustment clip over the entire timeline with sharpening and noise tweaks for stills. Make a second one for softer skin tones. Show and hide clips while hunting for preferred stills to export. Fab.

[@RandumbTech]

Love me some dunna tips!! Can't even begin to tell you how much time this will save me - thx!

[@dunnadidit]

Heck yeah! Stoked its helpful!

[@TroyMairs]

I’ve been sleeping on Adjustment Layers! Thanks for the ideas man! 👍

[@dunnadidit]

Heck yeah! Time to get it!

[@DanielHolter]

Love love love, killer stuff. So glad I'm on Resolve these days. Thank you!

[@dunnadidit]

I’m glad you’re on resolve too.

[@joelbarto1103]

Thanks Dunna! Seems to me like the classic photoshop, "non destructive" work flow. Very helpful.

[@dunnadidit]

Yup’ it’s just a non destructive layer!

[@WalkingDevon]

Love me an adjustment clip. Discovered them when getting frustrated by having to dynamic zooms for each clip. Now I just copy and paste adjustment clips, sometimes have to make minor adjustment like swap or move the boxes but life has become much simpler!

[@wyldetimesreviews]

This is a real game changer! It'll save me TONS of time when editing my videos. Your videos are always super informative!

[@BrianTheCameraGuy]

Love that you ha e really gotten into Resolve and created these tutorials! Thank you Dunna.

[@dunnadidit]

Heck yeah! Loving resolve!

[@BroZachD7]

Why have I not been using this all along....thanks Dunna!

[@mylifepart2]

I m now..getting into adjustment clips as I m making new systems to help me speed up my work...before I wasn't coz I wanted to learn things...now it's time to use it.. especially on things you would use often... excellent video thxx

[@LukeAntunes]

Such good tips Dunna! Definitely saving this one for later 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@dunnadidit]

Niiice!!

[@economicswithivan9737]

Whenever possible/practical I find fusion layers preferable. Set the media in to background as discussed in the video. These play quicker and can render to cache giving you full speed playback. I also find that complex fusion on adjustment clips can sometimes fail on export. The same comps on fusion clips do not.

[@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing]

Awesome video man! This also works with adjustment layers in Premier. I like to rename the adjustment layers so I don't forget what they do once I get a few different ones layered up on a project.

[@dunnadidit]

Absolutely it does! Great tip on the naming!

[@BarNoneWranglers]

Outstanding content, to the point for all us busy creative types. Thanks for making these for our fellow film makers.

[@iamfrankbiesta]

Absolutely brilliant tip - just like everything you explain about DaVinci Resolve. The adjustment clips are going to be my default go to funtion from now on. Thanks!

[@DanielBrown-cc4hw]

This is so good!! You're helping so many people with this!! Thanks!!!

[@yosoylegendary]

Great video! Love all the tips you provide it's been such a great help.

[@dunnadidit]

Happy to help!

[@gunnarb16091]

I’ll mention I found in the color tab at the top where it says clips, you can click the drop down and switch to timeline. For the temporary grade idea.

[@dunnadidit]

Absolutely! Thats a super handy way to do it too!

[@Allthingsbeer]

Very helpful walkthrough that will definitely help me edit faster and more efficiently

[@NikolaVojvodic]

I do use adjustment clips all the time, lately istarted using them as timers for Reels and yt shorts :D. I just set the duration to 60/90 sec and voila!

[@dunnadidit]

Smart!

[@LivingWithChronicPainAndBeyond]

Hmm. Does Canva have Adjustment Clips? So much to learn. So little time. Very interesting. Thanks Dunna 😅

[@dunnadidit]

I don't think so, but I'm not super versed in Canva and its video editing capabilities (or lack thereof potentially??).

[@FenzirL]

Using adjustment clips to use for push ins, damn, why didn’t i think of that 😅 I have learnt alot of useful things from your channel! Thanks lot Dunna 🎉 You are a life saver

[@hiepcongnguyen]

Great tutorial. Many thanks.

[@TroyQwert]

Ok, agree, Adjustment Clip is a must. But it is good only if all your clips requre the same adjustments. If i have like 130 clips on my timeline but within this sequence i have kinda one-three-five clips in the first third, and then a coule of clips closer to the end that reqire different approach, it becomes a burden. I need to cut the Adjustment Clip in a few spots and try not to forget to apply relevant adjustments to each section. Otherwise, if I leave the Adjustment Clip uncut, streatching through the entire timeline, the exceptions will be affected by the individual adjustments + all adjustments in the Adjustment Clip. 😊

[@TrueNorf]

Boom! Dunna drops more productivity magic! 🤩 Great video, D! I have been using adjustment layers in PP and it seems the same principles apply, though the naming convention clearly differs. I am still grappling with the notion of switching from PP to DR, however for now I think I will stick with PP as the learning curve, though not impossible, would be pretty steep. Love it Dude!! Thankyou!

[@dunnadidit]

So glad to hear they've been helpful lately! Especially since they're pretty DR heavy and I haven't convinced you to make the switch yet lol.

[@andrewgoodwin_]

Great video! Loved all the tips. Similar to your transform section, I also like to use them for slow zooms across 2 or more clips. That way each clip has the same zoom speed, and it helps it feel like a match cut.

[@dunnadidit]

Nice! I love to do that when I have a bunch of jump cuts on a single tripod shot, then the jump cuts don't feel as obvious because it looks like the camera was pushing in evenly.

[@westmaven]

As always I learn a lot 🙏 like that adjustment clips exist 😂 thanks for your videos

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

You're welcome!

[@dadomultimediamusic]

Thank you so much for sharing about the use of the Adjustment Clip, I´m wondering if it could be possible to be used for Multicam, to work with Color Correction for every angle in the Multicam Clip. Or if it could be possible to be used in the Color Page also, to edit every clip of the Multicam. Thank you.

[@dunnadidit]

Yup! If you put an adjustment clip overtop of a multicam clip, it will still do all the color grading to anything beneath it!

[@dadomultimediamusic]

@@dunnadidit Thank you so much for your response. My question it´s related if can I use Adjustment Clip for every angle separately within of the Multicam clip. Certainly I understood, that I can use the Adjustment Clip over the Multicam Clip, but that means, that will work with all the angles involved in the Multicam. Greetings :)

[@PaulSprangersCityLimits]

DUDE! Epic video, super helpful. Thank you.

I think you will make me a very better editor from what I am right now ❤

[@BuildItMakeIt]

I really need to use adjustment clips more. I used to but then got lazy........so I do more work by doing everything to the clip. Hmm.........

[@dunnadidit]

Time to make a change!

[@counterstrike89]

Hey, maybe you can request in a video that Davinci gives the option to drop transitions on adjustment clips.

[@ForgeAheadwithMike]

Good vid... Is there a way to have an adjustment clip ONLY affect the layer directly below it? I have tons of layers and edits (all with dissolves) but only want to affect a specific layer.

[@ForgeAheadwithMike]

So far, the only thing that I figure that works is if I make a compound clip and add adjustments on that clip.

[@dunnadidit]

Unfortunately no. The adjustment clip will always affect EVERYTHING beneath it

[@vasant-pl3or]

ypur teaching was on a point 🤌💥

[@bullet_tooth_tony]

How can I prevent some of the clips below the adjustment to be not affected by it. For example I have an animation background layer for the whole area. On top of it I have multiple elements (layers) that I want to control with an adjustment clip EXCEPT the "the animation background" underneath them all. Thanks!

[@dunnadidit]

Unfortunately, that’s one thing adjustment clips can’t do, they can’t ignore something beneath them.

[@martin9933]

Thanks for the video! The only "problem" I found with adjustment clips and using them for color grading is that you can´t use transitions on them. So if I want to do a smooth cross dissolve transition between two clips that happen to be effected by two different color grade adjustment clips, the transition does not aply on the color grading and shows up as a flickering in the video. Or is there any solution to this? Thanks a lot!

[@Shadow_Li]

I love DaVinci resolve 🥳

[@mustafakamal8608]

How do you scale keyframe to adjustment clip length? How I set the keyframe so it always be positioned (for example) to the end of clip?

[@Wirrn]

When you say you use the colour grading with the adjustment as a temporary one unless you're lazy, is that because each filmed clip has different conditions and needs different grading? I am playing with cg renders so the lighting on mine are all identical, it seems like this would work well

[@dennisryckman5210]

F-YA! Thanks Dude!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks for watching!

[@ProgrammistMusic]

is it possible to use transitions for blending different adjustment layers like in Premiere Pro ?

[@dunnadidit]

I’ll definitely consider it!

[@RonniesRambles]

I'm a newbie but my issue I kept running into was that the clip affects everything on all tracks 'below'; generally that means I need additional timelines to use additional adjustment clips, or am I missing something?

[@Yapz_-tw8zc]

I need to exclude a clip which is below the adjustment clip.

[@cararich4]

Can't get adjustment clips to render cache. Ideas?

[@shawnchenco]

Stealing all the tips! I am trying to become more proficient with Resolve and its a slow move but this seems like a great way to get a lot of control but also having the flexibility to move it when editing. Love the tip and the vid. More Resolve Tips please :)

[@FritzGoobernitz]

Hey DUDE your hat is on backwards and it ain't raining and u ain't a catcher or fireman. A great Tatourial learned a lot or in my case Relearned (CRS) U know. Subbed too.

[@dunnadidit]

Lol, this is a confusing comment. I’m glad that you relearned some things and subbed. As for the hat part, one of the reasons I often turn it backwards for filming is because it casts a shadow on my face if it’s the other way. Also, when I’m shooting photos or videos from behind the camera the brim gets in my way when I pull the camera up to my eye, so I turn it backwards then as well. I guess firefighters and catchers aren’t the only ones who have a good reason to switch it around from time to time!

[@marbertlongatan2717]

i followed this video but my the color where the adjustment clip is harsh, it took more time to adjust the color because of the adjustment clip.. info on that should've been included on this video on how to correct that.. thanks anyway

[@dunnadidit]

I think maybe something went wrong along the way, adjustment clips don’t change the color on their own.

[@marbertlongatan2717]

i figure it out.. just have to disable the adjustment clip and colorgrade it first before turning it on again.. thanks.. color on adjustment clip goes wrong when you copy paste colorgrading while it's enable..

[@johnliquori]

That’s a lot of filters Dunna
