Awesome stuff! It would be a worthwhile option to allow you to set clip color on the bin level. Then any clip dropped into that bin would be colored by the bin.

The usefulness of these 5 minute Fridays cannot be understated! Yes I use bins and then colours to group clips together from the same camera so I can select them colour grade them all together. BUT - I didn't realise you could select all the clips in a bin and set the colour there! Life changer! Blimmin obvious when you think about it - as a 'button pusher' I don't know how I missed this!. Alex - you are one of my go-to resources for editing tips, to the point that you are even referenced in one of my vids as one of the 4 'editing gods' (have a guess who the other 3 are! 🤣) - thankyou so much for this! 🖖

This is helpful, but I prefer track colors so I immediately know where VO goes or where dialogue goes. When companies want specific track assignments, this feature is necessary.
@celestepalm6949Ай бұрын
Yeah, I find applying clip colors thru the inspector a bit quicker than scrolling thru the long color submenu.

@MyViewsOfTheWorldАй бұрын
Nice Alex, thanks. However, a quick suggestion for BM - what if I could click on the BIN, set the colour for the BIN and everything inside would have that colour automatically? As I add new clips to that bin, they, too, inherit the colour? That would be very handy. I always organize everything in bins, so that would save even more time.

I edit a lot of presentations and other interactive "talking heads" videos. Colors are indispensable in organizing videos where questions and discussion are intermixed with the main presentation, and in the final edit should go either into the Q&A section, or in a separate video. Colors also help better organize messy presentations, to keep similar subjects together.

SMART Bins are the way forward. Like you say here it helps to establish a method and stick with it over multiple projects so that it becomes second nature. SMART bins enable Davinci to do the picking for you. I have smart bins set up for unused clips. a smart bin for each of my actors characters, B-Roll, Drone, etc. It is then important that the meta data is filled in when importing clips into the project so that the smart bins can identify the clips. This does take a little bit of time at the import stage but totally worth it when you start editing.

@HeyAdamGrassoАй бұрын
All these techniques are ace, but I still think the Davinci timeline has organisational limitations, especially if you have to layer similar effects on top of one another, (three text+ clips for example that need three separate tracks). An easy fix would be if Blackmagic introduced some kind of collapsible group track option, for audio and video. That way you could minimise all sfx clips that might be spanned over 3-4 tracks, into one toggleable group track. Fingers crossed this get implemented in the future. Especially when working on laptops this would be a big help for screen real estate.

The only issue I run into is that the colors available are fairly close to each other in hue. I get slowed down when I tend to double check I didn't pick a shade next to the one I wanted, so then I'm into trying to put the names of the colors to memory. Self defeating. I get the same thing with colors in spreadsheets and word processors where the differences are miniscule in vast palettes of choices so it's nothing new for me.

As always Alex, good tips. Quick question though. Suppose I have a clip that is on the wrong track? Is there a way to discover that by color? For example, suppose a teal is on track 1 but it belongs with all the other teals on track 4? Can I view the entire project while showing ONLY the teals, so that I can visually see that a teal clip was misplaced?
@ZahidMehmood_JSFАй бұрын
Thanks for your insightful tutorials. But I need to know one thing in DaVinci Resolve that after marking In and Out a clip at Media Source when I drag that clip in between a timeline, other clips after that clips are required to move forward automatically instead of first making a space for that marked clip by moving forward all clips from that point and then placing that marked clip there?

@yungstyles4027Ай бұрын
I love clip colour but it's frustrating that it still doesn't work in a multicam clip, ie: the clip colours are not visible in the timeline. Alex, do you know if there is there a workaround for this? Am I missing something? Could you maybe flag it to Blackmagic as a bug, or future feature. It would make my multicam workflow so much better. Many thanks...

Hi Alex. Sometimes I notice when I use a colour for my clips, some of them are a bit darker even though I use the same colour. For example I use orange colour for some clips but some of them turn out a bit darker orange. Any thoughts why this happens? Thanks
@MrAlexTechАй бұрын
It's usually if you have something else applied as well I think. So if you have a fusion effect also applied to the clip, it changes the colour a little

Don´t be mad at me but,isn´t it better to just put a name on the "A*" rhing? for example i call A1 intro and outro,A2 would be the video to edit,A3 is subscribe and all that,it´s very simple,if you know that it shouldnt be a problem,at last that´s i work and it´s good. Now,can you make something to edit audios?,for example my problem is the volume part,when i speak very low and in the video i have to level up volume or when i scream by mistake i have to turn down volume,is there something like an AI to just give a % of volume,add to the audio and set all the audios to that volume you desire?,that´s a real problem if you do for example gameplays of 8 hours,you have like 4 days to edit that or even more.

I’ve been editing for at least 25 years. I’ve never used color clips and I’ve never had a problem without them. A roll goes on track 1, B roll goes on track 2, C roll goes on track three… So much easier. I suppose if you have hours of footage using colors could be a good thing… But for short videos, I just don’t see the point
