[@iSpike]

BEST THUMBNAIL EVER‼️ Much love & respect Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺✌🏻😎

[@Daniel_Batal]

Thanks!

[@donheff831]

Excellent. I was getting some simple key frames done but didn’t understand that DaVinci was creating them itself when I changed something.

[@PawFromTheBroons]

You can sync your tracks via waveforms, natively in Resolve.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Yes you can. Unfortunately you can't do that with an single audio track and a completely separate video track that had no included audio. That's why I always clap to make sure I have a sync point. Even if my camera captured no native audio, I know I can sync the DAW mic track peak points of a series of claps with where my hands come together in the footage

[@Pino.1]

@@Daniel_Batal yup, you need two audio tracks to sync, however, you are manually aligning the claps using the mouse. Instead, in the timeline, highlight all of your tracks, right click and select ‘auto align clips’ via waveform.

Excellent breakdown on key framing my friend! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Daniel_Batal]

Glad you liked it!

[@path6641]

I am a TOTAL noob. I've never used any editing software, but I want to learn. I found your Davinci for COMPLETE NOOBS last week, which was very well done. This video as well. You explain this quite thoroughly without over complicating, which you said is your intent. I wanted to compliment you, as well as thank you Fantastic work. I will watch all of your Davinci related videos and I hope you continue to provide them! Cheers

[@Daniel_Batal]

Hey thanks! I’m glad this pacing works. Resolve can be really tricky to learn and I honestly try to make that easier for people

[@hemanthrathore2005]

The best DaVinci Resolve tutor I've seen on KZbin till now... Thanks... It was VERY EASY to understand key framing...

[@Daniel_Batal]

Wow, thanks!

[@rickgriffith1]

I’m a small timer that’s only got 29 videos under my belt. I’ve heard about keyframing, but never learned anything about it before. Now, thanks to you, I’m going to try tackling this tactic in my ShotCut editor. Wish me luck. Thanks Daniel!👍🏼😎

[@Daniel_Batal]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JulianGarrett]

Thank you for teaching the fundamental basics. I love and appreciated how you explained why you don't show the shortcuts. Very professional in the way you shutdown that down.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Not a fan of teaching shortcuts to people who are still trying to learn features. If you already understand all the features, then shortcuts make sense

[@MrKeithw124]

Been following awhile. Been using davinci for a year or so and you are teaching me new things and making me understand the Basics. Numerous davince instructors out there. I've seen them all Your the best. Keep it up. Your awsome.

[@Daniel_Batal]

I appreciate that!

[@gchorton]

I totally agree with your philosophy surrounding short cuts. Without knowing the guts to the function it can be so so frustrating especially when a software company changes the keys. I really appreciate how you approach short cuts for us all!!

[@Daniel_Batal]

Glad that made sense. I hope I didn’t come off like a shortcut snob!

[@majorediting8164]

I have to tell you, you’re doing a bang up job with these videos my friend! I started editing with Filmora four years ago and learned EVERYTHING about it, and to some degree editing, from you! They don’t know what a mistake they made screwing you over. Filmora’s loss is DaVinci’s gain. And while the tutorial space for DaVinci is more crowded, you’ve definitely found your voice and as a user of Davinci going on three years now, I STILL learn new stuff from you. You have an incredible style, personality, and sincerity in your videos and I wish you continued success! ✊🏿👏🏿✌🏿👏🏿✊🏿

[@Daniel_Batal]

Hey thanks! I really appreciate that. Resolve is definitely a topic that has been extensively covered, for sure. It seemed that with a few exceptions like Casey Faris, there weren't a lot of easy-to-follow conversations for folks like me who were still discovering the software. I hope some of these help lower the barrier to entry for anyone who might find Resolve to be daunting at first glance (I was one of those people!)

[@avinashrn8866]

Learnt the very very basics of Davinchi from your videos and made an amazing travel video from the clips I’d shot. You have no idea what that small video I made means to me. Thanks a ton man. Cheers.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Love hearing that!

[@Loay.Alasar]

Thank’s ❤❤ from Egypt 🇪🇬

[@FlyingCameraGuy]

Great job explaining how to use keyframes, thanks. KZbin recommended this video because I have been watching some of your shorts, so you making shorts paid off.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Nice. I hope both the Short-form and Long-form videos have been helpful for you

[@FlyingCameraGuy]

@@Daniel_Batal yes they have and I subscribed.

[@mvanertcg]

OMG, you just showed this old noob how to make videos better and easier. Thank You!

[@Daniel_Batal]

Fantastic! Glad this one was useful! As alwasy, if you run into any issue or have questions, feel free to drop them in the comments section of any video

[@kaanch]

thank you for these much informative and easy to understand tutorials

[@Daniel_Batal]

You're very welcome!

[@kennethochoa7550]

I'M A NEWBIE TO VA VINCI I LIKE THE WAY U TEACH. LEARN THE BASICS THEN LEARN THE SHORT CUTS, WELL SAID, SOME TIMES LIKE U SAY, WHILE WATCHING MORE ADVANCED TUTS THEY SEEM TO SKIP OVER STEPS AND I'M LIKE WAIT ! WHAT ! NOW ! AND I THINK I'M JUST A BAD LEARNER WHEN IT JUST THAT THEY ASSUME THAT I ALL READY KNOW those steps WHEN I WAS TAKING CLASSES FOR VIDEO IT SEEMED AS IF EVERY ONE WAS A MILE A HEAD OF ME AND WHEN I WOULD ASK FOR HELP THEY WOULD JUMP ON MY KEY BOARD AND GO CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK AND SAY LIKE THAT, WELL DUH !!! THEY NEVER EXPLAINED ANY OF THE STEPS, MAYBE LIKE THEY SAY SOME TEACH SOME DO WELL, I LIKE THE TEACHERS THE BEST 😇

[@Daniel_Batal]

I do my best to make learning video editing fun and hopefully understandable

[@DJBre]

Thanks again Daniel! Such a good teacher ❤

[@Daniel_Batal]

Glad you think so!

[@scaramanga7196]

Fantastic. Thanks so much for all your tutorials ❤

[@Daniel_Batal]

You are so welcome!

[@mirkomisic5884]

Very nice tutorial.Thank you Daniel!

[@Daniel_Batal]

My pleasure!

[@onceuponanasmr687]

Another great how to" - Thank you for posting this vid.

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

Daniel, You are helping Us beginners out a lot more than you know. Your way of explaining works amazing. As someone that has never edited anything in there life to starting making youtube videos with my cell phone soley for videoing and editing. Then last november taking the plunge into davinci resolve and it being my 1st introduction with any type of editing software. I was very confused, nervous, & second guessing my decision about using the software. So after tons of youtube tutorials later I'm starting to scratch the Surface. So from all of us Noobs that don't know anything We Truly appreciate your time, knowledge, and the fact your putting content out that helps tons of people. So Thank You from all of us Also, Your thumbnails are on another level. Would love to figure out how to do those one day. Do you build them in Davinci?

[@Daniel_Batal]

I actually use several different photo editing software

[@bstein69]

Excellent Video Daniel!!!

[@Daniel_Batal]

Thank you very much!

[@MOONOVERMIAMI]

Hello great video information Daniel

[@Daniel_Batal]

Hey, thanks! Hope this helped simplify a few things

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

Love your programmes. I have looked at many tutorials on key framing on the colour page and they are so difficult to follow would you possibly do a video on this?

[@Daniel_Batal]

Definitely! Thanks for the suggestion

[@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker]

@@Daniel_BatalThanks Daniel it is something hardly anyone touches on and can be so useful at times say with a colour change or the sun going in.

[@BraapZ]

❤Another awesome vid so far, looking forward to finishing it when we get home from our trip. As a newb, Keyframing is one aspect that I shy away from having tried coloring fades, speed ramps, zooms etc with key frames and totally making a mess of the timeline and video overall. Tried to download this video to watch on the flight home today but no option to download for future viewing, (Love watching your videos on flights and learning DVR from you as you literally walk us through). Will catch the rest of it hopefully tomorrow. Again, THANK YOU! ❤

[@Daniel_Batal]

No worries! I hope this helps simplify keyframing a bit

[@michaelchessman1527]

I got it now so f easy, Thanks Daniel

[@Daniel_Batal]

You're welcome!

[@LarrysLibrary]

[@Daniel_Batal]

[@MichaelsPaintingChannel]

I have this question and I guess there's no solution for it: Where are those keyframes of an effect next to a clip if you want to expand it so you could move them? I've found this: Yes, it does appear that you can only create and manipulate FX keyframes in the Inspector panel's Effects tab and not in the keyframe graph area below the clip. Edit: I've found that I can click on the fusion icon of the effect in the inspector and open it in fusion and there I can work on it. A video suggestion!

[@Daniel_Batal]

Depends which page you are in. If were are in the Edit Page like we were here in this video and you added keyframes to let's say a video clip... in the timeline, look at that clip and you will now notice the two icons on the lower right of that asset are now active. The one in the lowest right corner (the diamond shaped icon) is clickable and it will expand a keyframe control window below that asset in your timeline, showing all the keyframes that have been added and this gives you the ability to do exactly what you said... move them, delete them, etc. The icon just to the left of that diamond-shaped control icon (sort of a squiggly line with a couple of markers) is the keyframe spline icon. If you click that, it allows you to do modify the motion flow interactions of those keyframes at a deeper level including easing in/easing out and creating motion curves. I actually cover that in this video at this point ---> kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYqXnGhjnNKfrNE

[@MichaelsPaintingChannel]

​@@Daniel_Batalhey Daniel! Thanks for getting back. Man I've forgotten to write "keyframes of effects" When I have an effect I can't see those diamonds on the edit timeline clips to expand.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Depends on the effect and where the keyframing was applied. Give me an example of an effect you’ve added and then keyframed but couldn’t access those keyframes

[@MichaelsPaintingChannel]

@@Daniel_Batal I want to use the effect binoculars for a video I'm working on for tonight. There's no diamond symbol at the clips right side (just all those at the inspector). I know now, that I can use the keyframe (spine?) editor window in fusion for that.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Got it. Thanks for hanging in there with me through this conversation. You're absolutely right that for specific effects the keyframing doesn't give us an obvious expanded window for control. I'm doing my best to work out a contract with BlackMagic Designs to become an official brand ambassador for their product (which should hopefully also give me more access to the designers to raise awareness of the community's issues). I'll definitely make a note of this ❤️

[@Gaffx]

great work man! kudos to you

[@Daniel_Batal]

Thanks a lot!

[@moodberry]

This is a good tutorial. But you are drawing on the screen that you zoomed in on, as in @ 23:45, while you are talking. Did you draw those orange strokes with the paint node or polylines? And, did you record your voiceover first and then drew the lines while listening to your voiceover? Curious to know the order of your production process. Thanks.

[@Daniel_Batal]

This was a live stream training session, it was all happening simultaneously in real time. (probably why most of my on-screen scribbling is so messy!) In edited content, I'll add those in post. For live streaming, I use tools like TubeSpanner or Zoomit for working in real time.

[@moodberry]

I see! Well then, it would seem that I could maybe go full screen mode (ctrl-F) on a clip while using the paintbrush and record my screen as a new clip, right? That way I theoretically could use the paintbrush tool in the paint node instead of keyframing polylines, right? @@Daniel_Batal

[@Daniel_Batal]

If you're trying to do things like draw circles or arrows, it's much easier to either license those assets from places like Production Crate or better yet, make reusable assets yourself---> kzbin.infoIujCG4KPqxY?si=a36d_RLBfeTTjrT4

[@moodberry]

Fantastic! In this link, you showed how to create hand drawn assets freehand. But what if I want squares or circles that are more refined?@@Daniel_Batal

[@Daniel_Batal]

Same answer as before.

[@BossTeddy58]

I just want to ask I am recieving a notification that says there is a new video but I dont see any . The latest that I have watched is the replay of effortless keyframing.

[@Daniel_Batal]

I drop DR Shorts tips a couple times a week. Might be one of these ---> www.youtube.com/@Daniel_Batal/shorts

[@BossTeddy58]

Thanks so much taking the time to reply 😊. I really dont want to miss any vids.

[@SkewedOutcomes]

I tried to use the Transform window to move the video view somewhere else on the screen, but it only moves the video back behind the view window and not as an overlay anywhere on my screen.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Not exactly sure what you mean. Transform moves, zooms, stretches and skews any track that’s selected in your timeline. Make sure you have the proper track selected. If your have another layer on top of the track you’re modifying, you’ll need to move forward in the layer structure or turn the other tracks off

[@SkewedOutcomes]

@@Daniel_Batal will try again soon.

[@gmpas]

Daniel I love your videos. I'd really like to get a signature look for video like you developed. No matter what's going on on youtube if I scroll past one of yours my brain points it out cuz you got this amber brownish yellowish kind of thing going on that just works. It's very much an attention getter. Did you plan that and experiment and get different things together so you got what you wanted? I mean did you envision that look before you got to it? Or did it just kind of unfold and you said okay that'll do I like it? The your lighting and audio are awesome. Makes it comfortable to absorb the information you're putting out. There's nothing distracting etc. I think what I'm saying is that your videos are among the most congruent work of its type that I've seen on the internet. So how'd you get that look dude on your set?

[@Daniel_Batal]

I spent a long time building my set & audio design. I’m really glad you appreciate that. I’ve worked towards the feel of warm wood and hanging out by a fireside glow. Almost a subliminal fireside chat. Combine that with the fact that I grew up around music. That’s been the vibe I’ve strived for

[@gmpas]

@@Daniel_Batal you nailed it

[@store-i4p]

thanks

[@Daniel_Batal]

You're welcome!

[@peachxtaehyung]

So keyframing is where the screen moves around to different points basically? I've always wondered what keyframing is I've never understood it lol

[@Daniel_Batal]

As one example, yes. But it could be where a video slowly fades from black and white into color or where the volume pans from the left to the right. Keyframing are just marker points that tell the software to change from one thing to another or do multiple changes along the frames in your timeline. It all depends on what you are keyframing.

[@peachxtaehyung]
