[@russellzauner]

@@SpectreSoundStudios I'm working on gesture controls (like legit, you hand wave in the air like Tony Stark) that hopefully can bolt onto most tools - I have already made universal interfaces that can run through any PC-like platform, encapsulating is a little more work but isn't really rocket surgery just a bit more time to get it all squished down and keeping end user functionality. Also I am working on getting simple camera interfaces integrated into people's desktops because I have repeatedly made the complaint that literally everyone has cameras that won't capture fast players and result in that "hands don't glitch like that" fucking drama bullshit from Luddites that don't understand imaging technology, much less applying and optimizing it. I used to have to do actual pixel math in my job or get fired and people can't understand that shutter speed doesn't mean shit to image sensors, it's input bandwidth and sample rates. /rant

[@Dwija108]

FYI, for anyone using the DaVinci Resolve free version but thinking about upgrading to the Studio version. For a limited time, if you buy Resolve Studio you can get the Speed Editor for FREE. You have to buy from a third party though, NOT directly from Blackmagic Design. I got mine in the US from B&H Photo just a couple of weeks ago and it's a joy to use. Super surprised to see Glenn talking about it and loved every expletive minute.

the best flip screen review video on youtube so far, Glenn! Bravooo....

[@LetsTalkAboutReaper]

The speed editor was great for making a music video from 10 different angles. The ability to "live paint" the desired segment onto the timeline after syncing the footage was fantastic. Outside of that, I hardly use it as I do the bull of my work in the edit page. I bought mine for $295 with a DR17 Studio license

[@icestorm_rb9057]

Blackmagic better start making cameras with flip screens because Glenn is already flipping out. I'll see myself out

[@calebbhawkins]

I would love a series of videos about editing video and even setting up shots for musicians. So many of the film maker channels are all about either how to edit travel vlogs or shooting slow motion food or something. A series where someone would do a practical take on music video production and editing on a budget would be cool!

[@Anshul1614]

Loved that part with the behind the scenes footage. Would love a tutorial type video how to setup audio and video for a show like yours with a teleprompter. I remember in some video you said you made a teleprompter. That would be magnificent.

Myrrh is very resinous and it leaks fluid the color of iodine, The fluid is very much like blood whereas, it gets all over the place and is very messy.

[@ChrisChronos]

GLEN!!!! In DaVinci Resolve, if you right click an audio file on a track in the Edit screen (not cut screen), you'll get an option to "change clip speed". You can then change the speed precisely to however fast you want, and also have the option to turn off the pitch correction, so that the pitch shifts accordingly. hope that is what you were looking for!

[@JimRobinson-colors]

I think you are right about 9 cameras and being able to program a few of those for something else. They have a regular keyboard customization - it would be good if they could expand on that when people have the speed editor. The buttons on the Speed Editor just trigger a software command, so they should be able to do it within Resolve.

[@Sinisterbvnny]

I guess the only thing I would say in regards to the "no flip screen" conversation is that some manufacturers (Sony for me) have phone apps to remote control your camera. Even though my Sony has a flip up screen, if I am using longer lenses I can't see every detail needed on a smaller flip screen. Having my phone next to me with the picture of my shot helps a TON. Otherwise, I get what you mean, Glenn.

[@DaMooCow5000]

Wow, you still edit all your videos. Respect.

[@scottvogel8477]

I totally agree with you for the most part. You can buy small monitors to mount on the camera, but again like you said there is one with the camera. Even the Panasonic G7 which is like $500 has a flip screen. Though I think Black Magic Design often plugs their ears when it comes to consumer feedback. Case in point they don't allow comments on any of their videos. Even the tutorials.

[@metal_helm]

I just happen to be using everything you do too Glenn: Davinci Resolve, Reaper, spending enormous amounts of time on my YT channel (like 2 hours a day with a full-time job). I am always looking for ways to speed things up, even if it cuts seconds off of my video making. A flip screen should required on all cameras now...when I got mine, it was a game changer. Thanks for doing this review, I may have to consider this.

[@thebasementfilmgroup]

[@c1ph3rpunk]

I’ve been meaning to learn the cut page more, seems like a good chance to do it when buying the speed editor. A year later and they’re the same price though most come with a Resolve license, makes it a little more worth it. I’m willing to commit $400 if I can speed up edit time in the cut page. We all know how long editing takes, it’s hefty.

[@nerdsforcardgames]

Glenn, I would also like to add a complaint about black magic. This is kind of a long comment so please bare with me. I was using Davinchi resolve based upon your recommendation. I loved it. Then, a good friend of mine built me a monster computer. The issue is, he used parts he had laying around. (Everything was still practically brand new since he upgrades a lot) But all of the hardware was about 7 years old. Davinchi resolve put out an update the made my video card obsolete. I don’t have a lot of extra money to go and purchase a new video card, so I went to look for the previous version of the software. But it is no where to be found. That’s ridiculous.

[@kitten-whisperer]

I like this content. Part of making music for a lot of people is making videos of that music so this is great.

[@GuitarsOnlyChannel]

Yes ...I agree. I wish Glenn would do more videos on video editing for musicians. Trying to figure out the best video editor for the price you can afford is a pain in the ass. Most of the video editor tutorials on KZbin are geared for people filming everyday mundane things, which many of those video editor tutorials are great. Music video editing is something different. IMO if Glenn could expand into music video editing tutorials that would grow his channel.

[@Warlock_UK]

A coincidence - I've ordered this today as it comes free with resolve at the moment...but it's probably a couple of months backlog. :( Good review. I hope they add some audio stuff like the speed stuff you mention - the thing I want is to be able to record in Fairlight / do ADR for re-takes of Voiceover; right now on Windows at least it's balls and will have all manner of digital glitches while using a Scarlett or other interface.

I do metal but I like throwing in hints of EDM and other genres just cause I like to experiment. What DAW would you suggest for a plugin heavy bedroom producer.

[@ramencurry6672]

The Thumbnail pic is gold

[@RubyRoks]

For $400 and specific use to the edit page, i'll just buy/build a macro pad with a rotory encoder and learn autohotkey. The money i'm saving in hardware is more than spent in time, but i'm young and don't have a whole lot else to do. I'm sure the workflow in the cut page with this is probably faster and more efficient, but familiarity goes a long way in my brain and i was using Resolve before the cut page was added.

[@tonebonemarone3089]

Hey Glen, in regards to speeding up your voice in da Vinci for the viewers comments, I might be missing something here but why don’t you do that process in reaper then bounce it down and send it back to resolve? Reaper handles the speeding up/slowing down of audio so easily, plus with an offline render you could be done in seconds

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Have to find it in the audio. Separate it, Speed it up, export / import, trim. Takes twice as long as resolve does.

[@suavocado69]

I hate the cut page so it's not for me, but if it were edit-page optimized I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Thanks for the rundown.

[@FSdarkkilla]

Hey Glenn could you do a review on how you setup and use Davinci Resolve? I've bought the ATEM Mini Pro ISO for a club dedicated to supporting the semi-pro Rock/Metal/Alternative scene. We've mainly bought this to have easier live video workflow for streaming concerts but when using Davinci Resolve my friend got frustrated extremely by how unstable the software is. It crashes so often that it is definitely unusable. Blackmagic claims that this is due to NVIDIA drivers... which would maybe explain why it also crashes on my Ryzen system with NVIDIA GPU but their "fix" is "just install the NVIDIA creative drivers instead of the normal gaming ones". How do you run it stable?

[@lanceolson5988]

They probably make the editing software completely free because they hope you'll buy into their expensive peripherals and equipment. It IS good software, though.

[@drdelewded]

The software isnt completely free.. the full software costs money.. very affordable but yes. They do want you to buy into their infrastructure but over all are more affordable than most comaprables.. Kinda the behringer of Video, but with better reputation/quality.

[@GuitarsOnlyChannel]

@@drdelewded What do you think about Wondershare Fimora? Have you used it? I'm looking to get a video editor. Unfortunately most of the DaVinci tutorial channels can't produce a functional tutorial for beginner level users. Same is true with most video editor tutorials for other programs. Then 80% of them the instructor has a foreign accent, usually from India, and or, they put music in the mix more suitable for cat videos. The worst are these paste on, plastic personalities that are always jumping at you to create excitement when all they do is make me want to run in front of a speeding city bus to end it all.

[@drdelewded]

@@GuitarsOnlyChannel never heard of it. I'm a audio mixer by trade. I just find the black magic stuff to be a pretty affordable option if you don't want to commit the money to an Avid system and still remain fairly pro. There's a really good tutorial on this exact speed editor. I'll see if I can find a link

[@GuitarsOnlyChannel]

@@drdelewded I'm a beginner level video editor and only want to do simple video edits. I want to upload my guitar recordings to YT with only photos and B-roll footage. I also want a screen recorder to record webforms. I hate it that most gov webforms don't send you a copy of your filing so you have proof of filing or contact. I hate OBS because of the thousand screen frames that show up in the work box. Does DaVinci have its own Screen Capture or does it work with OBS? Saw a tutorial on DaVinci and it's screen capture was OBS. The problem with most of the video editor tutorial is even though the title suggest a simple, beginner level video tutorial, they end up going off in all kinds of inane directions with the narrator either having a foreign accent that can't be understood, usually from India, or they put the most annoying music in their video, usually mixed too loud which suggests they really don't know how to edit videos, or they have those phony "jump at you" personalities that makes you want to take a nap on a busy freeway just to end it all. It's amazing how many people uploading video edit tutorials don't know how to produce and edit an interesting and easy to digest tutorial. .

@@GuitarsOnlyChannel I have no clue what gov webforms are. Give me a minute to find a pretty easy to follow How To video of the editor. I'm sure buddy has other related videos on his YT to help you out as well

[@titovalasques]

Recently bought this during a promotion where they gave you the pro version of their editing suite for free. The price of DaVinci Resolve Pro is roughly the same price as this keyboard so it worked out well. Maybe I'm wrong but can't you create a preset in Fusion that will speed up your audio/video?

Listen, the full keyboard has $0.2 colored key hats. Don't sell it short. Gotta admit though, that little device seems super fast and useful for a person who doesn't want to configure all the script keybinds. Which means the most of people who don't mess with video editors as a hobby. Surprised to hear these professional video cameras don't have that. Even 5 year old hobbyist level Canon DSLRs have the fully articulated touch screen exactly for youtube vlogging purposes. For the price of Black Magic pro cameras you'd expect those features.

I only needed to start getting into video editing about 3 weeks ago, and Resolve was the first thing I tried. Loved it, so upgraded to the studio version. Canme with a free speed editor, and was delivered next day (in thr UK) Then I went onto all the forums and saw the rage from all the people who had been waiting for editors since like November lol. Anyway, before the editor, I hated the cut page, always just stayed in the edit page. Two weeks with the Speed Editor, and now I barely wave the cut page. I actually get frustrated if I have to goto the edit page now lol. I like it. The trim in/trim out controls, and transition button are super helpful. Love having the wheel. Can't complain for free either. Its got a few really really annoying issues, but, nothing that can't be adjusted in sodtewa updates. Letting me loose some of the camera keys in favour of other functionality would indeed be super handy. I've got tons of suggestions for them with this, but, I'll have to see where future updates take it first.

I get most of my neutrik plugs from them too, they have some great deals on certain things. Some of their product is even cheaper than from the US, and its a group of young guys that run and own the company and they've always been helpful when I've dropped in (They are located in Markham a block from teletech audio) given me discounts when I've sent in my order before showing up 20 minutes later and they are still running around looking for some weird patchbay jack like a firewire or such in an order of 20 different things.

I know you will hate this comment, but a 5.5" external monitor will give you better colour and a better representation of what you're shooting. I'm only using the screen that's on my pocket 6k because I have to and as soon as possible I'll be getting an external monitor. Portkeys makes one that can link to the pocket 4k/6k via bluetooth so you can control parameters via the external screen as well. I know some people like to keep their rigs light and easy to transport, but I come from the film world so having the camera kitted out makes more sense for me.

[@TechSteveMK]

I'm new to resolve, but, for the sped up comments... can't you just speed up on, hit crtl C to copy, select all the other viewer's comments then hit Alt V (I believe) to paste the attributes? Only works in thr edit screen, which is annoying, because the speed editor has taught me to use the cut page, but, should bring up a little dialogue, asking which attributes you wanna paste. Would that work? I use it to copy zoom and positioning attributes to multiple clips

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Nope. Only works for video, not audio. It’s fucking AGGRAVATING that this simple function just plain does not work!

[@TechSteveMK]

@@SpectreSoundStudios God dam. That is annoying. I'm totally new to video editing, having come from a background of programming and operating lighting consoles for love gigs and events, and, all the consoles I ever used seemed really well thought out, and, just got out of my way, and let me do stuff. Resolve seems to have some really frustrating little niggles that get in the way. Just little things, but, they really interrupt the flow. Same with thr speed editor. Great 90% of the time, then, "throw it out the window frustrating" 10% of the time. Like, I can't seem to use it to select clips, so if I want to move clips around, I have to use the mouse to click on them, then I can hold down the move button, and use the wheel to position it. But, if I've already had to goto the mouse, I may as well stay there and click drag it around. If you do move the clip with the speed editor, when you drop it, the software de-selects the clip - arrrrggg! Means you can shift it again without touching the mouse. Or perhaps I still need to learn stuff, I dunno. It could be really really awesome. Let me use the camera keys for other stuff if I'm not working with a sync bin, thats a lot of keys I'm missing out on there. If I could map an up, down, left, right control to that, so I could move which clip has the focus of the software, that would be killer and mean I keep my hands on the editor so much more. Just make a key a shift key, and suddenly a whole extra load of buttons become available. Its sooo close! In lighting programming and operation, everything was just right there, within finger tip reach. It had to be. No mouse, no touchscreen. Id love thr speed editor to be similar. It can be too, if they develop it right

[@russellzauner]

My advice is buy your cameras where the eggheads do and you already invest so much time in dicking with other suboptimal tools you'll pick up how to use something actually designed to be useful pretty quick and wonder why everyone doesn't do it that way. Again, I am not promoting but just to get an idea of what's available, try places like Edmund Optics and look at the camera section - of course you have to do a little reading but I'll save you the first month of it: 1. look for global shutters 2. know your image sensors (e.g. don't just look at raw megapixels of overall sensor, look at your end use frame size and scale it to that) 3. evaluate your use cases and the way in which your workflow fits to you and check standard software packages against available camera interfaces (USB 2/3, PoE, what mounts the lenses you already have take as well as how you mount the gear itself, etc) 4. *LIGHTING LIGHTING LIGHTING LIGHTING* I guess I should have said that first but you also need to match your lighting to your sensors for best results. 5. whenever you get overwhelmed by all the information there is, try calculating how much it would cost for you to have someone put you in your custom solutions that works just how you want it with the gear tailored in cost and performance exactly to your needs. You can't buy that off the shelf. Software and integration tools and vision standards are improving and if you call the people that make the cameras they actually want to help you so it's not as daunting as it may seem at first. 6. I still never got the hang of it but study lenses and mounts per your application - I had wonderful setups at work but it always took me forever to dial the optics in because I'm just a stupid lab rat and had to just fiddle until glory was achieved. I'm just a masterful fiddler lol Once a lab rat tools junkie, always a lab rat tools junkie. :-)

@@FuquarProductions Gotcha ...when you consider the price range on those Blackmagic camera, that's even worse. It's insane not to have a flip screen that is more than just a partial flip. Not just for the reason's Glenn stated ...but when recording outside, that sun can make your LSD screen basically useless. Being able to adjust your LCD makes it easier to be able to find that sweet spot where you can film while being able to see your target in the screen. I never heard of Blackmagic until I saw this video. Checking out their video samples on YT after I saw comments that Blackmagic is the leader in video camera technology. I found this upload by Glenn to be very interesting ...hope he does more tutorials and reviews on video editing and software.

[@FuquarProductions]

@@GuitarsOnlyChannel I will call and harass him when I get a chance.

sounds like a stream deck would be better and a separate job wheel. 250 + price of jog wheel vs this $400 thing. Honestly seeing this workflow and knowing it's possible makes me feel a bit more wanting to edit videos.

[@TheOriginalEUrban]

Glenn! What do you think about samplers/ groove boxes?

[@RockU2Death5150]

Thanks for this, Glenn. I've begun using the ATEM Mini for a two-camera live stream and it is a failure. Good to know Blackmagic isn't all garbage.

[@G_handle]

The cameras failed, the switcher failed, or you failed? I, and a kazillion other people use em all the time. What’s garbage exactly?

[@RockU2Death5150]

@@G_handle The switcher overheats and the camera feeds glitch out. Poor design, cheap construction.

[@lolnahnvm208]

A tool like this should be able to speed up your musical editing, as well. If you can't customize this tool to work with different software, it's not worth $400 considering that there are other products that will. You're mostly paying for a wheel here because all the other functionality could be worked into a normal keyboard.

[@PhilipBosleyMusic]

Mine showed up this week (from Vistek after like 3 weeks)... now if I could just get the effin' Bluetooth to connect. Also, the impression I get is that Black Magic is not super-inclined to cater to the consumer to mid-level market, what with their Fairlight consoles that cost more than my car.

[@markuskerloch]

Hey Glenn, Not sure if you're answered this before so apologies if you have! What's your take on control surfaces when it comes to mixing/recording? I've been using a mouse and keyboard for years (like most others I imagine these days) but I do prefer to have some kind of tactile feedback so invested in a small USB controller (Korg NanoKontrol 2) as I liked the idea of having faders and knobs for panning etc. It was such a pain in the arse to get running to how I wanted it in Reaper than all it's done now is collect dust for the last year or so because I can't be bothered piss-arsing about with settings and things when I want to use it. Do you use anything similar in your studio/any you'd recommend? Thanks, Fuck you and all that noise.

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Had a Mackie Control years ago.... it just slowed me down!

[@GuillaumeLortie]

As far as i understand, Flip Screen are seen like a bad features by pro Camera operators. they see it as a potential point of failure. i totally get that if you have a crew and a guy behind the camera. Blackmagic should release a “ content creator “ version. with flip screen. and maybe a remote for recording?

[@aadityagoswami]

Hey Glenn! Just wondering, is right-click (on the audio clip) > change clip speed not what you're looking for with your sped-up comments? What makes you need to pull it out of Resolve?

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

It works, but having to do it 15 separate times per episode is a LOT of extra work. A simple drag & drop preset would be MUCH quicker. I still do it in resolve, but I have to separate all the clips, drag them to a new track, make a compound clip, speed it up, separate THOSE clips, then drop them in place, then trim. A preset would be far faster. The "right click" and set speed is really clunky and even slower than the method I just described.

[@aadityagoswami]

@@SpectreSoundStudios Ah ok, fair enough. I've tried to search for ways to make macros for that kind of thing as well, but no luck yet. Your way probably works better when you have to do so many for a single video.

[@juanvaldez4043]

All they’re stuff is marked up pretty high,🧐 maybe I should buy they’re stock?

[@mylifepart2]

i have it..got it recently and its totally incredible to the workflow...i learn it as i go along and its proving to be more valuable than initially thought out to be...videos on my channel of course....cheers...

[@MGD397]

I got an older Dslr cam with no flip screen. I do have a large mirror behind the camera so i can see the reflection of the screen for proper positioning. There must be a mirror on an adjustable snake that can be connected to the tripod to do same?

[@GuitarsOnlyChannel]

Checked out the prices on those Black Magic Cameras. $400, then $500, next one $1,000. For those prices and you don't get a flip screen? No wonder Glenn is pissed about that. Why don't you invest in a $300 or $400 dollar camcorder? They pretty much all have flip screens. You're get a better video resolution than a camera of equal value with the flip screen. Or do those camcorders in that price range not have a suitable recording resolution? Only drawback is you can't take the best photos with them

[@gauravsharma-eh7sz]

make a video explaining basic differences of large diaphragm and small diaphragm mics

[@cmiller120392]

Yo Glenn, a bit of a personal question yet one I haven't heard brought up. What happened to stupid texts and viewer comments videos? Is this KZbin's doing with their anti-bullying analgorithm?(lol) Is there a platform you could possibly do them on to bring them back?

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

I put our Viewers Comments every Friday! Here’s the latest! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2Swp5qLlJinY6M

[@ATH_Berkshire]

As a video nubby, what’s the difference between an edit page and a cut page? Thanks

[@thedaver8]

Hey Glen, I haven't tried the audio speed up thing you do, but I know you can put audio effects on entire tracks by dragging the effect on the track number in the Edit tab. Is that what you do? (Does this make sense? lol)

[@gilbertspader7974]

I would like to do covers of songs on KZbin. Could you do a " How not to suck " Bass player level video on the subject ????

[@gelderlandproduction]

Might be a bit costly... but it will save you loads of time, ,which is a great cost saver.

[@davidgallinger5636]

If they're not syncing, check your framerate. Consumer cameras will always be either 23.98 or 29.98. Your BM camera can be set to 24 or 23.98. If the BM is on 24 they won't match. Also think of finding an Atmos Shogun used. It combines a monitor with a recorder and switcher, and outputs files that have all four camera streams in sync with each other. We used one of those to make a b-movie called "The Zombie Apocalypse in Apartment 14F," and it worked great (watch that movie on TubiTV if you feel like it, tubitv.com/movies/526479/the-zombie-apocalypse-in-apartment-14f?start=true). Of course, that's another huge investment. New, they're over a thousand dollars. Cinema cameras are built on the assumption that you'll always have thousands of dollars worth of accessories bolted to them. They don't include flip screens any more because we always have an external monitor on a magic arm and we don't bother with the flip screen.

[@beneath_the_woods]

At least for that price you get mechanical switches, right?

[@djtripnosys]

Bad News shirt? Where did you get that?

[@GuitarMonkey5180]

Blackmagic works close with Apple I believe, so I’m sure that’s where they got their overpricing ideas
