[@grayphobe]

this has probably been the most useful tip for me yet, can’t wait to take advantage of it

[@travlinfam]

You never cease to amaze me. Sitting here with my morning cup of coffee and learned something absolutely new and useful in seconds. Thank you! I so appreciate you.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Happy to help! Never be afraid to shout something out in the comments of any video if you have a question about Reaolve. I do my best to answer all of these questions. ☮️

[@KeemBG]

Always something to learn in DaVinci

[@Daniel_Batal]

Agreed!

[@jsbadger]

It's like golden nuggets every time i jump on yt. Amd right when i need tjem too! Bless you, Daniel.

[@mikewebb2355]

Once again I learned something that I did not know about Resolve. Dude you are the best. I really like this feature for editing you just saved me a ton of time.

[@Realist-m9c]

The speed editor can also be used to do this in the edit page.

[@Daniel_Batal]

BMD’s Editing keyboard too! I use both.

Thank you!

[@Daniel_Batal]

You're quite welcome.

[@rayjermyn4541]

Daniel - an ask please. Can you do a short or vid on all of the different types of cuts, the differences and when to best use or the shortfalls of each one. The grab handles and trim types still confuse me. Love your work - by far the easiest tutorials to follow in no b%s language

[@Daniel_Batal]

Cuts are a skill you can apply to any video edit with any editing software-> kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZywgXqQochjaMU

شكرا يا بطل دائما متالق ومميز

[@Daniel_Batal]

Glad this was helpful!

[@HiImBQ]

For me, I don't need "Dynamic Trim" enabled to do exactly this. Still trying to find out, though, what Dynamic Trim actually does.

[@Daniel_Batal]

That's a great place to be. If you don't know why you'd need a feature...? DON'T learn it yet! Stick to where you're at in the learning curve. That'll make enjoying the software so much better if you don't get distracted with crap you don't even need to know. ❤

[@dmalovic]

You don't need dynamic trim, just trim mode. You sre right. Dynamic mode is used for efitig as you play back footage. Check the manual, and learn how to search through it!

[@shawnchenco]

My actual jaw dropped! Amazing ❤

[@FritzHall-n3g]

🤯🤯🤯 that’s gonna be implemented right away!!

[@ReaperTheRager]

I remember seeing this short last month but had to go through almost all of your videos to find it again just so I could do exactly this in my current project. Upside is that along the way I learned even more tricks I hadn't seen before lol

[@Daniel_Batal]

Ha! Well, as excited as I am to hear that you watched a lot of my videos, I hate how bad KZbin is for being able to search out a specific short from a specific creator. It’s just awful. I’m working on something that should make my entire catalog of shorts easier to navigate. I promise I’ll let you know the minute I get it done.

[@ReaperTheRager]

@@Daniel_Batal I saw you had a playlist but it was only ten videos. If you need any help with something like that let me know because I love to organize files.

[@gabeabyte]

Is there a way to expand a specific clip within the timeline without having to move all the other clips around. In a way that pushes the rest of the timeline down to fit it in

[@Daniel_Batal]

Great question! And you asked it on the right video because you can do it using this every feature-> kzbin.infoUZQ772-X5qc?si=QqvYW8bHBzbuWww4

[@tonishiro]

Еще в 2016 году, когда Resolve только-только добавили монтажку в программу, я сразу понял, насколько она удобна и приятна; а сейчас я вижу, как далеко Blackmagic зашли, она стала намного лучше Premiere.

[@Daniel_Batal]

They’ve definitely come a long way. Purchasing Fairlight was a huge step too

[@treviita2155]

Daniel, I am able to do exactly this even without DTM Just keeping TEM on lets me do this, what is the significance of DTM?

[@Daniel_Batal]

You can absolutely do it without the Dynamic Trim Mode enabled. It has a few subtle advantages, the most obvious difference is for advanced speed editing. If you're like me and often have projects with over 20 tracks and over 60 minutes of timeline to edit down, hitting the DTM will bring your playhead to the nearest beginning or end of the clip you highlight to perform a quick slip. If you look at the actual shape of the icon, it starts to make sense. It actually is a little 'playhead' with an arrow left & an arrow right pointing to each end.

[@gromgromgrom3043]

I'm sure nobody is like you but correct usage of dynamic trim mode is JKL editing

[@thetnpickers]

ohhhhhh ahhh great tip brother

Unfortunately, I don’t think you can at this time. They have default colors that currently have a very limited selection and you have to change them in the project.

No. It’s a mode, not an effect.

[@HoundDogMech]

What would be a great learning tool and reference in DR if when one Hovers over an ICON or Menu Item where the Nomenclature appears, if say I press some combination of that and the say F1key DR jumps to the reference of that ICON/function at the Place in the Davinci Resolve Reference Manual that explains that Icon or Function. Better yet an index of where that might be explained by a video From all the videos on KZbin. Something like Searching Wikipedia with one word or name. I'll bet that would be worth a few buck to NOOBS, Even those using the FREE Davinci.

[@_akshxt_]

Is there any way to do this on premier?

[@Daniel_Batal]

I’m sure there is but unfortunately I don’t use Premiere Pro

[@CTRadventures]

Nice!!! Im trying to workout w black magic why their paid version runs smooth for playback, but in render will crash, especially if I use a transition that was pre loaded in their software. ... However the free version renders, but has choppy playback. I have tried everything from giving my GPU priority, the app optimized as high performance. I have a laptop w 16gb ram Intel i7 at 2.30 ghz. GeForce 3050 ti laptop version. I have tried reducing render speeds. Turing off render preview, everything.. as soon as the render gets to a transition... Boom, crash, and it freezes then shuts down 🤷

[@Daniel_Batal]

Studio had GPU acceleration, the Free version doesn’t

[@CTRadventures]

@@Daniel_Batal correct, however, the free version wouldn't have any problems rendering, but the paid version crashed my system and closed down the app, anytime I would render and it got to a transition

[@Daniel_Batal]

As I said, the paid version has GPU acceleration so as you render with the Studio version, it's suddenly leaning on your GPU much harder. That 3050ti is fairly underpowered for advanced video editing. You're also using only 16GB of RAM which won't even run any of the Fusion options or effective handle 4k footage. The issue lies in your system resources. This might help give you an idea of the basics. I suggest not just meeting the system requirements but significantly exceeding them for any video editing software: motionarray.com/learn/davinci-resolve/davinci-resolve-system-requirements/

[@CTRadventures]

@@Daniel_Batalmaybe one day when I have like $2k to throw on a batter system or if I ever start getting paid for editing. Right now it's just a hobby. Unfortunately davinchi has made it difficult to go to any other platform due to things like color grading etc

[@Daniel_Batal]

Resolve runs really well on a 16GB M1 Mac Mini. You can pick those up cheap. Resolve is also built natively on Apple Architecture and was optimzed for M1 performance. I run it on both OS and the M1 almost keeps up with my custom $8,000 PC tower for daily editing chores.

You dont have to be THIS awesome, you know?

[@Daniel_Batal]

😅

[@EchoTango]

you dont need to activate dynamic trim mode to do this? only trim edit mode

[@Daniel_Batal]

No, in most cases you don't but in a heavier edit with a lot more tracks it interacts a bit differently so I tend to do it as habit. Plus it brings my playhead right to the split point where I can quickly see the scrub change easier

[@EchoTango]

@@Daniel_Batal experience is king 👍🏻😊

[@HoundDogMech]

How can you INDEX all your Videos for a WORD search so with by entering a few words one can find a particular video. Like this one, in less than a minute, you explain how by activating the Dynamic Trim mode & Trim Edit Mode, one can SLIP a Clip back & forth to achieve the exact part you want. That was in Premiere Pro as SLIP.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Where, and by which tool, are you trying to 'Index' your videos? KZbin? Your System? In the editing software itself...?

[@HoundDogMech]

@@Daniel_Batal Just want to find something I know I've seen somewhere on U-Tube without having to spend Hours searching. The Time codes with the chapters are a big help but not everyone uses them.

[@brandoncpt9982]

wish I saw this 3 years ago

[@johnglenn30csardas]

We called this “slip” back in the day.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Absolutely. Resolve calls it “Trim Edit” and the Dynamic portion is more for realignment of the playhead. You could actually turn that second part off and it would basically be a slip feature without the dynamic playhead motions

[@studioplanetesilhouette]

Wow Wow Wow !!!

[@L33T_Taco]

BROOOO SERIOUSLY!?!?!!..... It really is just that easy...😅

[@Daniel_Batal]

Sure is!

[@jaredcrown5812]

Whoa😮

[@Lass_muc]

I love your vids but your description is not correct. You can do exactly the same thing with the mouse as you show without having Dynamic Mode enabled. What Dynamic Mode will do is to allow you to use (K,J &L) to trim instead of the mouse. You place the yellow cursor on the cut between clips, and play backwards or forwards with J or L, or even better, press K and then either J or L to step frame by frame and slip the clip back and forth while in place the position of the clip stays in the timeline. All this if "Slip Mode" is selected... If you right click on Dynamic Mode you can choose "Side", then you move the clip instead of slipping it.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Well you f you want to play semantics, your comment is incorrect. The dynamic portion also locks the playhead to the nearest snap point whether you use J,K,L keyboard short cuts or not.

[@Lass_muc]

@@Daniel_Batal right, but it is different to what you decribe on the video.

[@Daniel_Batal]
