Save HOURS In DaVinci Resolve 19 With These 11 Automatic Features!

[@JasonYadlovski]

What's your favorite Auto Feature?

[@LivonianTravels]

Audio Sync for sure 😁

[@muchfunwithtrains]

Smart reframe, although it will be fun to see how well it does with my train subjects, as opposed to people...

[@optical-sound]

Ducking in R19!

[@SYCHR0N]

4:12 Important note when syncing up multiple clips, for example multiple cameras for an interview: It always syncs to the clip selected first. So if for example a camera needed a battery swap and thus you have 2 clips from that cam, when selecting the audio first and the cameras second, the sync will arrange both clips of that camera to the audio. If you select the first clip of that camera first, the audio and other cameras are synced, but the second clip of that camera cannot be synced, as there is no matching audio. Had to figure this out a while ago.

[@JasonYadlovski]

NICE! Great Tip, thanks for shraing that!

[@Retset]

OMG, the auto scene detect - life saver for me - I had no idea it could do it! I'll also give the auto colour & WB a go.

[@TroyQwert]

Jeeez! And I was loading all my bins manually. Live and learn. 😊

[@randyrektor]

This is awesome 👏

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks!

[@dandyfunhouse]

Thank you! Learned some new things. I never use the cut tab and now I have a reason to revisit that. I've always synced audio on the edit tab and have never been happy with the automatic syncing from DaVinci. I just do it by hand.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Glad it was helpful!

[@WanderingYooper]

Appreciate you Jason, thanks for all the tips.

[@JasonYadlovski]

My pleasure!

[@kieranproven4874]

Man! That auto colour is so good. Thanks Jason.

[@JasonYadlovski]

You bet!

[@muchfunwithtrains]

Jason - thanks for this - I've watched a number of your videos, and this one did a nice job of refreshing my memory on this steep learning curve that is DR19!

[@JasonYadlovski]

You're welcome

[@SarcasticDuck]

Came to watch the video about ducking, ended up clicking on this one as it sounded promising and holy crap, you don't know how useful that auto cut scenes feature is gonna be for the exact same video I'm working on!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Nice! Glad you got some tips from the vid!

[@mossite]

There where realy some handy tricks i didn't know about. thx for the video

[@AspieTravels]

Well I just learned 10 things to use in DVR Studio 19, thanks!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Great to hear!

[@ZeeZee0023]

The more I watch your channel and learn about Resolve the more I’m tempted to give it another try 😁! Question: I have a MacBook Air M3 (16gb 512gb ssd) and use FCP. Will running resolve possibly slow down my computer? With FCP I work off of an external hard drive, can I do the same with resolve? I would love to learn the program and all that it can do!! 😊

[@JasonYadlovski]

Glad my videos have been helpful for you! Resolve shouldn't slow down your computer. I'd start with the free version so you can try it out, but keep in mind that the studio version will run better and smoother because it will use the GPU. There are always things you can do to speed up the program too if you need. I've got videos on that to help. Yes, you can work off an external drive with Resolve. I do that and I use a samsung T7 SSD, 2 TB drive. It works great. You media files can be stored anywhere you'd like, Resolve just references them. You'd want to keep the project library (Database) on your internal drive for the best performance. The database/project library doesn't get very big, so no need to worry about clogging up the computer hard drive.

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

11 great tips .. cheers, Jason 😁🙏🤘

[@jjmmfi]

Thanks, very helpful

[@benarnoux]

Awesome tips!!!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks! Glad they are helpful!

[@MustafaElbistan-i1g]

Good tips. Thank you.

[@JasonYadlovski]

My pleasure!

[@IDKOKIDK]

Resolve doesn't automatically set project to resolution of clip you bring in, only sets matching frame rate. That catches me all the time, as other editors auto set frame rate and resolution

[@HussinKhan]

@@IDKOKIDK you’re right

[@SeekerNJWC]

I've never used Resolve or any video editing software. Is it possible to have a clip that has both 4K 30p and 1080p at 60 fps, and have DaVinci automatically increase the 30p (fps?) to 60 fps and the 1080p to 4K? If it is capable of doing that, does the software require a particularly "powerful" computer?

[@yeetbra9485]

​@@SeekerNJWCNot possible, otherwise no one would bother recording in 4k if you could just bump 1080p up to 4k later in post. There is an upscale tool but it isn't going to look nearly as good as genuine 4k. Same goes for frame rate you can't increase frame rate later only lower it

[@JasonYadlovski]

@IDKOKIDK - You're right! My fault. 😜

[@SeekerNJWC]

@@yeetbra9485 Thank you for the quick reply. Much to learn.

[@danielroujansky6420]

Jason, in addition to autosave, will a project automatically be saved when you close out the project? Do you need to force save a project prior to closing down DaVinci Resolve? All your tips are very helpful, thanks!

[@JasonYadlovski]

It will be automatically saved when you close Resolve, assuming you've got 'live save' enabled. 👍

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Loved this recap! Thanks for your honest take on the trip. Has Katrina signed that passport yet 😂

[@allaboutrelaxation6651]

Hi Jason Is it the same idea used by filmora? Your videos will sync and match the beat of your audio? I will start filming a lot if that's the case.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! I don't know how filmora works, I've never used it. The audio sync is for syncing externally recorded audio with the audio filmed in camera.

[@brothatwasepic]

Hi Jason. Great video. I was wondering how I can split my 60 minute video automatically into 60 1 minute clips?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hi! I'm not sure if you can do that automatically. It might be possible, I just don't know how to do it off the top of my head.

[@brothatwasepic]

@JasonYadlovski thanks man No worries and have a good one

[@dronytruckdrone4891]

Hey Jason how are you doing?,I were into your crash course but it’s for DR 17,there’s a way that you could update it to the current Studio version?,to can buy it,Thanks.

[@JasonYadlovski]

I'm working on an updated version, should be ready soon - free here on KZbin. I'm assuming you were looking at this free one here on KZbin? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmO1ZmuvfK5snJY All the same stuff is still accurate for version 19 when it comes to a beginner crash course. But stay tuned, a new one will be out soon.

Hi Jason. Big fan of your videos. learnt so much about fairlight because of your videos. I have a question, can we not create a sync beep in fairlight ? There is an option for in avid media composer but i cannot find anything regarding this in online. can you please help me ?

[@JasonYadlovski]

You can create a beep in Fairlight by going to the patch menu and choose system generator on the left drop down, choose beeps or the oscillator , then patch that to the track you want. I think that will do what you're looking for.....🤔

[@SnehithPamarathi]

@@JasonYadlovski Thanks so much Jason. It worked 😃

[@tennisphotography]

GREAT Tips.... I like the AWB tip :):)

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks for watching!

[@optical-sound]

Are you sure the project resolution will automatically match to a clip? I thought it only adjusted frame rate, with resolution set at project level

[@JasonYadlovski]

You’re right, it only sets the frame rate not the resolution. I miss spoke on that one. 😜👍

[@JonnyRecaps]

Hey brother 🖐️ I spend lots of time color grading and I'd no idea there was an auto option. I shall investigate further. What's your experience been with the auto normalise audio? I haven't experimented with it yet.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! The auto normalize audio works OK. Most the time it does good enough. For me most the time I’m just gonna adjust my levels manually.

[@JonnyRecaps]

@@JasonYadlovski Yeah, I thought so with you being KZbins Captain Audio 😏 I'll give it a go anyway. I've fallen in love with the ducking feature. It suits what I'm going perfectly and the results are fairly consistent so far.

[@cruisechill1813]

Do you trust the auto audio leveller features for serious projects? Or can it potentially cause unwanted gain. E.g. could it turn your background music up too loudly then suddenly drop its levels again. I fear by pressing that you will need to listen to your whole mix through again to make sure it didnt mess anything up

[@JasonYadlovski]

Hey! For serious projects, I probably would not use it. I'd do it all manually just so I'm sure I get the results I want.

[@santinhoww]

Are these available for free version or Studio only?

[@JasonYadlovski]

Most of them are available in the free version. I think only Smart reframe is only in studio.

[@jacksonmacd]

@@JasonYadlovski Detect Scene Cut failed to run on the free version. It displays an invitation to purchase Studio. Bummer... I was looking forward to that.

thankyou

[@danilolazarevic5747]

Can you tell me how to sync multiple videos and audios in one click ? because i need to set it up on clip on another....can i do it in more simple way ? Basically i have 200 videos and 100 audios ?

[@sukhchainpal83]

Very helpful, but many of the features are already being used in DaVinci Resolve 18.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Thanks! Yes, you’re right. These things have always been around for quite a while, but some people didn’t know about them. 😜

[@catoarce]

This is full of good advise. but 5:45 You forgot to show us how to normalize audio levels using Fairlight. Just saying.

[@JasonYadlovski]

😜 thanks! Normalizing audio levels in Fairlight is the same as doing it the edit tab, just right click and choose normalize. 😁

How to add multiple audio clips onto separate tracks

[@JasonYadlovski]

First jump into Fairlight. Select all your clips in the media pool, then hold ctrl (cmd on Mac) and drag them into the timeline in Fairlight. Since you're holding Ctrl (or cmd) it will put each audio clip on it's own track.

[@HoundDogMech]

Got the 3 saves ON but I alwayes get either a Yellow or RED Edited by thr Project Name. If it's on auto save why does it continually say Edited but goes away if I hit File > Save Project but returns is a few minutes even nothing has changed or edited

[@JasonYadlovski]

Strange, I'd try clearing out all the cache directories and see if that helps....You can also delete some of the backup files that get created. They can start to clog things up.

[@johannes3530]

I am working on Blackmagic Cloud Projects and even if I Hit the checkbox "project backups" and click save, it's not keeping the setting 😅

[@JasonYadlovski]

That's not good! Have you specified a local path for the backups to be saved to?

[@johannes3530]

@@JasonYadlovski Yes! My external SSD. Maybe because its on blackmagic cloud? I can check the checkbox, but it does not save it after pressing "save". This happens on my workstation and my laptop. I am doing backups manually by exporting the project to my drive.

Could be due to the cloud, but you should still be able to backup.....🤔

A *really* great video for me. But (please, please, please) can you help me solving (my) biggest visual problem: i make an intro for my next video project, with a „moving“ gradient (between blue and purple), it changes endless. In the BM preview all is perfect… until uploading to KZbin. Then there was HEAVY banding. I tried to multiple alter settings in several ways. Only „uncompressed“ in 12-Bit at highest resolutions helps. But 20 GBytes for a 20 seconds intro?!?! No way! Please… *HEEEELLPPP*!! 😢

Maybe Make sure you're exporting in Rec 709, Gamma 2.4?

[@chrise.3114]

Tip 1: Only the frame rate is adjusted, not the resolution. Wrong advice! Auto Colors: Waste of time. No one should ever use that. You shour know that if you ever graded a clip. Very bad advice! White Balance: Your example just shows, how NOT to do it. Look at the colors after the "magic" white balance on your shirt. Misleading advice. Automatic color management: Without explaining what it really does and how this is working depending on the color space of the footage, this is useless. Misleading advice. Most of your magic tips are just the regular workflows, nothing special. Some advice is misleading/bad, one even wrong. Common mate, you can do better.

[@JasonYadlovski]

Cool, thanks for sharing your thoughts. 👍
