First ever DaVinci tutorial I’ve watched! Learned a lot 😅

[@ShinilPayamal]

Thanks for this awesome tutorial.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

You're very welcome, Shinil!

[@LaughingLabPictures]

Great tips!! I’m a huge fan of Resolve. I’ve used Avid, Premiere and Final Cut but always end up going back to Resolve. Keep up the great work! Cheers!

[@MatthewVandeputte]

I'm more of an fcpx kinda guy for the majority of my editing as it's the fastest and most stable for me, but it is so limited in so many other ways

[@AdamAbello]

Thanks Matthew I changed over to davinci a couple of months ago and loving the journey, time to break out the time-lapse cameras again, thanks for the inspiration

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Fantastic!

[@yu5561]

This is new to me. Thank you😊

[@MatthewVandeputte]

You’re welcome 😊

[@nieograniczony1]

For Your last question in video its realy nice to see a one day trip with equipment and day off - like little vlog in weekend to show how deal with transport and finding good pleaces to shot timelapses :) - its just idea

[@BernardVideo]

Many Thanks

[@MatthewVandeputte]

You are welcome

[@RotorWorks]

Good stuff. Thank you!

[@gregormarini]

That was a fantastic lesson!

[@NicolasMoraesDuarte]

I always do the aperture mode to not touch my camera! great tip on davince man thanks!

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Aperture mode can induce certain issues, but for a shot like this often works well enough!

[@seang8462]

Thanks a ton for this video. I'm just getting into timelapse and have been first editing photos in capture one to get them similar in white balance and the exposure I want. Should I just be doing this all in divinci? Or does it help to edit before moving into Divinci?

[@williamkleedehn9803]

Thanks for another super cool and quick timelapse in Resolve vid! Is the difference between free and studio version just the 4K output limit (as far as timelapse in Resolve concerns) ?

[@MatthewVandeputte]

My pleasure. The free version doesn't have the effects that are used here I think, also the resolution limit. Will test a shot with the free version to see what I can come up with

[@martinlundkristiansen3859]

Excellent video! I could not, however, get Davinci Resolve to work with my raw files (Fujifilm RAF files converted to DNG with Capture One). Instead, I adjusted the images in Capture One and exported the sequence in JPG format. A little more cumbersome, but it works. Question: why didn't you just shoot in aperture priority mode and let the camera adjust exposure automatically?

[@subbbass]

thanks you for this video! Q: 3:36 i tried to use camera raw but everything is grayed out... what can i do ?

[@maxh3539]

Great Video. I am really considering buying Resolve instead of buying LRT, especially i don't own Lightrome (Adobe Elements and Capture one.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Just finished another video about editing only in lrtimelapse, and also written a video about comparing the two. Turn on notifications and stay tuned!

[@MihaiNeacsu]

I'm guessing the deflicker effect alone, without the color stabilizer effect, won't produce good enough results? Can these effects be applied again with serial nodes? I never opened DaVinci Resolve :).

[@MatthewVandeputte]

The Color Stabiliser effect produced MUCH better results than the Deflicker effect. I haven't tried adding it multiple times through nodes, this might be something I test tonight, thanks for the suggestion.

[@Jcenas3D]

@@MatthewVandeputte Hello, I passed by here and I was curious. Does it work in the end?

[@lemul6975]

Thank you very much for the video! Is there way to render additional frames? I have made a time-lapse of the sunrise but set the intervall too long. I'd like to have a longer time-lapse than I can smoothly create with my captured images. That's why I've wondered if there is a way to create new images in DaVinci. Thanks a lot!

[@vampireeditor]

This is great since it bypasses Lightroom and After Effects. Up until now I've still been using LRC then AE then de-flickering the probes 4444 in Davinci. (Primarily because I shoot on canon CR2). Thanks Matt!

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Glad you like it!

[@kevinklasman]

Great video...thanks! Will these techniques work in the free version of DaVinci Resolve?

[@MatthewVandeputte]

I've been told the two effects don't work in the free version sadly! I'm working on a video for a workaround, that being said, pro features most often come at a cost.

[@The_Daliban]

Thank you for the great video! I followed all of your steps but when i drag the dng folder into the media pool i get the media offline message in the viewer. it works with jpegs just fine. I'm on 18.5. Do you have any ideas?

[@Recodo98]

I have this issue to, have you found a solution?

[@The_Daliban]

@@Recodo98 dng‘s didn’t work for me so i edited the raws in lightroom and exported jpegs. That worked fine. Didn’t find any other fix. Good luck🍀

[@robwhitmore3040]

I see your white balance is set to daylight. Do you always shoot these at fixed WB and always Daylight? I imagine a fixed WB gives you the change in the sky's colour but It'll look pretty crazy by night time. EDIT: I should have just watched an extra minute before commenting. Thanks :)

[@boulx]

what about the P program that many ppl advice? especially with R5 . i would like to see more small videos like that, thx so much

[@MatthewVandeputte]

You mean P program shooting?

[@boulx]

@@MatthewVandeputte yes.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

@@boulx that method changes the aperture, which induces an optical change (depth of field, difference in vignetting, coma etc) so I do not recommend it. That being said, here is an old members-only video covering exactly what you've asked: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXXLYnifa7FokJI

[@remyz]

I was wondering why you don't use qDSLRdashboard?

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Don't need it, my lumix cameras do flawless ramping so it's one less device to worry about

[@remyz]

@@MatthewVandeputte Makes sense. Thanks for the videos. You have a ton of great info. Keep them coming.

[@KrunoslavStifter]

Additional suggestion. Instead of using a DNG converter for creating DNGs to import into Davinci Resolve. Using DXO PureRAW, DXO PhotoLab, or the new Lightroom Noise Reduction AI would probably provide even more noise-free, detailed DNGs that are imported as a sequence into Resolve. I prefer DXO PhotoLab because of DeepPrimeXD demosaicing and denoising combined with the excellent lens corrections that DXO offers. It might be overkill for some timeleapse squances, but if you want maximum quality, it's another option for sure to complement this tutorial. Cheers!

[@MatthewVandeputte]

thanks for sharing! I'll check out DXO's software

[@sdk58]

Great suggestion. But LR DeNoise feature is processor intensive.

[@geronimoflyingfree]

I'm trying out this workflow (used to work with LRTimelapse some years ago, but my version won't work now anymore and I'm new to DVR), but for some reason I have some issues.... In color stabilization I can't uncheck the white balance adjustment and I don't seem to have all the options you have, but I have the newest version of DVR Studio... What am I doing wrong?

[@geronimoflyingfree]

sorry, I didn't click on "live region analysis"... :)

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Thanks for sharing the solution!

[@wouterbmx072]

Why did you convert to DNG? Davinci Resolve supports CR2.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

yup, but it doesn't support all the other RAW files like RW2. Also DNG works better in DVR, which I explain in the video

[@wouterbmx072]

​@@MatthewVandeputte i must be missing something. Where in the video do you explain this? I always just use the CR2 files in Resolve, but if DNG is better and I can improve my timelapses I would like to know :). Thanks!

[@davelindey8023]

Much easier using QDslrDashboard and LRTimelapse

[@MatthewVandeputte]

whatever works best for you, this video was made for people wanting to use DVR, obviously

[@jocelitoavila4488]

don't use the max aperture for landscape, make one with the same lens and f 5.6 or 8 and compare the sharpness. or not

[@kaianalmeida4420]

So you’re telling me that i dont need to import to Lightroom and Edit the images there first?
