Understand KEYFRAMES in just 5 minutes! Davinci Resolve 5 Minute Friday #2

[@vannyblutea]

god i love you. people yapping for 20 minutes to explain one simple thing are my biggest enemy. you are my strongest ally

[@MatthewRoche]

THAT WAS FANTASTIC! I've been using keyframes for years, but I've apparently been doing things the hard way. In five minutes you showed me 3 or 4 simple techniques that will make my life easier. Thank you!

[@gabuchancreates9813]

Same here

[@MrAlexTech]

Heyy dude. Thank you. Glad it was useful 🙂👍

[@Push_your_limit6]

Don't know about this. Almost my first month learning video editing, and now ot's the turn of keyframes

[@einfachiggi]

yeah, i use the keyframe myself for make zooming in effects, now it takes 1minute lol... i did it wrong and it takes sometimes 30min+ for a little zoom

[@zenchiefengineer]

Why can't everyone else explain things so concisely? They'll say, "Ok, we're going to start doing this" but then, they'll talk about five different other things.

[@themiddleagedbaby]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO helpful! I spent hours last week messing around in Fusion trying to do this simple thing and ended up with a mess. Your tutorial solved that issue in 5 minutes, so good on you. Thanks a ton!

[@petiewheat82]

WOOOOWWW! You're the best presenter I've found so far. Nothing assumed, simple and direct.

[@jessicaalvis7063]

For over a year I have been using keyframes and never understood what they actually did, only that they gave me the desired result. Thanks to you I finally understand what they do.

[@Graham_Rule]

That right click and Ease In/Out is amazing. I suppose it is somewhere in Blackmagic Design's enormous manual but I'd have never have found it. Thanks for the tip.

[@stevemiffling7586]

Alex, if 5 minute Fridays are going to be regular, please, please, please can you put them all together in a searchable form. I learn more from your five minutes videos, because the info is so well presented and easy to follow. That was keyframes made easy.

[@anshukumari8982]

I use it all the time but still watched and guess what learnt something new…you are a legend

[@comicsaresick]

This video is incredible. This 5 minutes has probably just allowed me to push the stacked amount of content I want to get out on a new page. Thank you

[@paulotrajano83]

Hey MrAlexTech, I'm just a beginner in DR and I'm really enjoying your tutorials. I've learned a lot! Thank you.

[@EdwardKilner]

That ease-in tip really helped. It must have been way back around 1987 when a colleague told me about right-click. Took a long time to figure out that it was a good thing to use to learn neat functionality. Somehow, with new and complicated programs, I tend to forget, but you have showed that would be a serious mistake. Thank you.

[@AM23.]

Whenever I think I understand a topic, you always prove me wrong Thanks a lot! 👍

[@HippieP629]

Not wrong. You understand it better 😊

[@Last_Wolf]

Greetings from Russia! I can't stop enjoying your lessons! I always learn something new for myself! God bless you!

[@davidvoorhies812]

Two times in a row this week you've saved me. Love this bite size Friday tips and the KZbin algo for recommending them to me.

[@princeraglan]

The last few tips about easing by right-clicking were huge! I've been using Davinci Resolve for a few years now and had no idea you could do that. Thanks for help!

[@UkuleleJayBBQ]

Another uncomplicated tutorial, no fluff, all value. Thank you!

[@fgustafson2243]

Awesome. Your channel is the GO TO for fast and clear DaVinci learning!

[@DanMess]

Thank you for all the pro tips! I've been making a lot of explainer videos and these tips will really speed up the process :)

[@justanotherguy-i4t]

Thank you so much, i was about to give up searching on how to make images move smoothly and just at the end you told me how to do that! ^^

[@riimu-kun]

Thank you so much! Firsr of all, super happy you actually zoom in on where you click because I have like a 10% eyesighr and I watched so many tutorials already where it was super hard to follow, simple because of vision - so thanks! 👀 Im a noob with animations but this was very well explained and easy to understand! 🎉

[@2wheelsonline]

I use keyframes all the time when zooming in on a video and following something moving... like my daughter playing football. I'm not sure if viewing the transform window will be better when doing this but gonna try it. Another brilliant tutorial!

[@Jake_Sherrell]

Thank you! I'm new to Davinci Resolve and this tutorial helped me a lot. Very well made video, straight to the point with no filler, and very well taught!

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

That right click to change to ease in 👌🏻thank you for that it will safe me so much time! 💋

[@hefestoo__]

Dude, thanks. Your explatation IS REALLY GOOD, I dont know much english and I understand much well all stuff that you said. Now I'm not a noob on davinci anymore

[@NoBraineeer]

Thanks it was so “to the point” You’ve REALLY helped me put here thank you!!!

[@parthshukla1046]

The Best Tutorial On Keyframes... Handsdown, the best, simplest and sooooooo goood. Thanks! Mate.

[@kidicarusplays8684]

LITERALLY EVERY "Move Images" TUTORIAL HAS OMITTED THE FACT THAT THERES A TRANSFORM TOOL. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THIS EXISTS

[@TheRustyGarageandHomestead]

New Sub here. As a beginner in everyway shape or form in the video editing world. Thank you for explaining things in a way i can understand them.

[@PatriciaChavers]

This is the best description I have seen. Thank You!

[@pupstudio]

Dude…YOU are the BEST when it comes to explaining DAVINCI. Case closed!

[@potato4dawin1]

I just watched a much more complicated video that didn't even work with gifs or other video clips. Now after 5 minutes I learned how I can make the walking polar bear gif go across a video clip with a subscribe button. I'm about to be unstoppable on youtube

[@whousefilms]

I know Davinci Resolve really well, but I actually learned a few new things. Bravo!

[@GBlevins]

Great video! Question: Does this work the same way with Adjustment Clips? I only have the option of "Linear" when I right click on the keyframe in Transform in the Inspector. Thanks! Update: Got it sorted. I was clicking on the diamond next to the word Transform and getting nothing. I only got linear when I was clicking on functions that didn't change. When I clicked on the one that did change (in this case 'Position'), I go the ease in and out options in the right places. Thanks for the great videos! Learning something new every time!

[@Potatonator57]

This really helped me figure out an intro I was trying to make! Thanks!

[@hamurabidios]

@MrAlexTech there is not a single video that you miss the phrase "like so" about 20 times but, your videos are great,well done

[@keeptwistin9739]

This just made my life so much easier. Went to reddit for advice and they were dicks and not helpful, came here and got the help I needed in under 5 min! Thanks again Alex!

[@HocusFocusProductions]

Thanks so much. Been using keyframes to animate for years, but am new to DaVinci and learning the placement of the all tools I'm familiar with is taking some time. The ease in and out and straight line trick from Adobe Photoshop are nice tips.

[@tomaskonvicka4135]

Hi Alex I really appreciate of your tutorials. I would like to point on something: There are bugs in the Edit page. If I change the keyframe from linear to ease, the curve changes for all functions except Position. The function switches to ease, but the curve stays linear and I have to manually create it, and if I'm doing simultaneous zoom and position, it's impossible to match it manually. Also, it would be good to have a separate window just for keyframes in the Edit page like in the Color page, if it's a more complex animation and I'm doing it on the Timeline, it's messy because I have to stretch the track across most of the screen and shrink the other windows. In the Color page - If I animate any feature, it is not possible to copy and paste keyframes, I would also welcome the ability to reorder keyframes by dragging the mouse like in the Edit page. Thanks a lot for your great work. I love Resolve:)

[@Jhoosier]

Thank you! I've only started messing around with them on my own, and this has helped me understand them better. I'm still having trouble figuring out what happens when I click a keyframe and why sometimes it doesn't do what I want it to.

[@mixedandmashed]

Same here and it's aggravating the crap out of me! 😀

[@Gedaly]

I keep forgetting that the ease in/out feature exists. Great tips!

[@KENNETHJANSENMAGTABOG]

finally a well explained about key fraaames..thaaank you!!!!

[@ADDLOOPS1]

The awesome accent drew me in. The quality of information and ESPECIALLY the directness and under 5 minutes kept me. Liked, Sub,d....you rock sir!! Cheers

[@KleversonRoyther]

Didn't expect to learn something new with this vid! I use keyframes mostly for zooming/panning videos, never knew I could visualize them using Transform preview! I'll have to check if this can also be done with zooming/panning!

[@niyasahamedl6126]

Oh my god! I am addicted to your explanation

[@Ansuzhelmaz]

Sooooo useful. I used vegas before this and.. well. The amount of doors opening up by using DaVinci feels tremendously good.

[@petermainwaringsx]

Great stuff! Thanks for the heads up on Keyframes.

[@nuc1earant]

I love it. Fast, simple, understandable. Thanks!

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

Excellent as always, Alex 🤟🙏🏻

[@VBdoesYouTube]

im trying to add a keyframe but for some reason my keyframes arent showing and yes i clicked on the keyframes icon and there arent any keyframes showing even when the video is acting like there's a keyframe there

[@MikkoKalavainen]

Oooh that right click on the red thing! THANK. YOU.

[@GuanRytheFantastic]

Hahahah Alex, I’ve been trying to add a power aura around an actor’s hand via key frames and it keeps turning out wrong…BECAUSE I’VE BEEN DOING IT WRONG!!! Wow, if you would’ve seen what I THOUGHT I was supposed to do, you would see I made it TONS more complicated than it needed to be lol. Thanks for this, man

[@BlackFoxLeather]

I want LOTS more of this kind of content. I make animations way harder than they need to be clearly haha. Thanks, that was nice to watch!

[@DreameyVizionsFilms]

I really appreciate your content! Keep it coming pls 🙏

[@RealProdisty]

how do I change the speed in between the individual keyframes so I can have a smoother animation

[@gregioh]

Amazing and really helpful video, thanks so much.

[@manojgupta2534]

That's was amazing & really helpful, thank you so much ❤😊

[@sidwainhouse]

How do I edit existing key frames? Thanks for the vids, really helpful!!!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

You make it look easy... I want to move an image that is zoomed in like a long pano to show all the way along the photo, then at the end havbe it zoom out to show the fall photo, i could not get it right. In Premier i could

[@bigbigsquid]

Excellent! I really liked your train too😀

[@rosecoloredglasses-logan]

I LOVE this! Thank you for this video show! I've wanted to learn how to do this and of course, just like Occam's Razor - it turned out to be a much simpler explanation than that I thought it would be! 💜💜💜😇

[@skoop1]

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE “EASE IN“ WAS VELOCITY!!! THANK YOU WTF. I hasp had no idea I could keyframe without using the numbers that’s makes things so much faster

[@daichicreatives]

Great video. What would you do if you wanted a little more control over the acceleration?

[@TriniWeekes]

Thank you Alex!!

[@DanielBrown-cc4hw]

This is a great help!! Thank you!!!!

[@ArcanePath360]

I didn't know you could right click them, lol. I've been dropping down the bit under the clip and messing around with going to each item in the drop down menu and adding the curves that way. It's a super long way of doing it, especially when you have multiple things keyframed. I'd like to know how to change the curves in a fine way, such as along the X axis in small increments through. Doesn't seem easy to make minor adjustments clicking and dragging that tiny dot.

[@lihaumaikalanikkeahi]

Solid video, thanks man!

[@aliruane]

Key frames are a pain in the edit page. If you ease something as simple as scale and position they go all weird. They only behave properly in fusion. Any idea why key framing in resolve is so clunky and annoying?

[@lugodam]

Thanks, Alex!

[@ianstewart4439]

Great tutorial again. Thanks

[@RuiGon1]

Thanks again. And I believe many more thanks wil come. 😃

[@KeyYouTube]

Thank you very much sir

[@zitternden]

Very good, thanks. Bookmarked for future reference.

[@UKDroneAdventures]

Perfect timing. Just what I was looking for. I’ve just had a Drone Adventure at the East Coast where there is some coastal erosion and I have a picture from 2019 and today that just about line up, so using these to change the opacity so the we can see the change. I hope it turns out okay. Any advice on my videos appreciated. I’ve become a little lazy with the editing lately.

[@DJBre]

very nice tutorial, will try it right now :)

[@Who.Said.Photography]

Another Awesome FMF - love them keep them coming. Can you do 1 on for normalizing your volume? I spend hours trying to get the volume from music to the narrative to stay at the same level. Thanks Mate

[@AmillionCo]

Great video nice and easy thnk u

[@happeningsinthecentralwest8475]

Thought I knew key frames but you showed me what I was missing.

[@monniehernandez5959]

Thank you so much, very helpful ! :)

[@Jdebrusk987]

I have an issue. I've been using Davinchi Resolve for over four years now and have been able to edit Open FX key frames. Recently I tried but the box you open by clicking the on the diamond icon does not show up. It only does when you add a non Open FX edit. Is this a bug or did BlackMagicDesign remove this feature?

[@MangaVation]

Wow. I just downloaded the Studio version and literally went back to Premiere because I didn't know how to keyframes things lol.. This gave me hope to go back to Davinci. Now I have a question, am I able to save the keyframes as a preset? and if not natively, how are there backdoor ways to do so? and secondly, does keyframing allow for motion blur as well? and if so where would I go for that. Apologies, I'm super new to Davinci, I know how to use the basic functions, just not familiar with what all i can do just yet

[@AshleysThoughtTalks]

Thank you so much!! This was very helpful. :-)

[@dreamytravels1]

Thank you for that very good video. I perfectly see how to use it for this example, but how to use it in the COLOR section? During the shot I'm editing, a cloud passes by and makes one area very dark. I therefore want to adjust the color correction (here, exposure) during the shot using keyframes but I can't find it in the "Color" section of Davincin. Thank you :)

[@pete-the-nete]

Excellent - thank you.

[@XxKINGatLIFExX]

Thank you for your help, British Version of Matt From Demolition Ranch!

[@MrAlexTech]

Ha I get that comparison alot! I'm happy with it 😆

[@XxKINGatLIFExX]

@@MrAlexTech I mean you both a good looking dudes :D

[@arkhael]

Thank u so much! Very useful!

[@helloianzakharov]

Great video! Is there a way to increase speed between key frames?

[@DucknDiveAirsoft]

Good breif tips as always. I like to use key frames to cheat when I don't want to fight with the automated tracker too, for basic tracking segments haha.

[@JasonLorette]

A nice addition to this would have also been keyframing a zoom as part of the whole thing...I like the Dynamic Zoom tool, but I can't figure out how to make it end (zooming out from a close up on a photo) on the full picture before the end of the actual clip.

[@InTheRedcornerBoxing]

dude. what are you filming with? so clean. How can i achieve this?

[@Ben-Jamming]

*Only 125k subs?. Nice one Alex. Thank you*✔💯

[@mavs8888]

everything you say/said makes sense LOL... thanks!

[@Aksunen]

is there any way you could do custom like those that smooth the keyframe movement??

[@rongkup439]

thanks a lot , your made it so easy

[@SimpleMellowLife]

thank you! so helpful

[@KudoSolution]

Great Thank!

[@wildpatagoniafilms16]

Great post as always! I'd love to see a post regarding key -frames on the color page... Also, the playhead on the keyframe window on the color page, doesn't move along the footage when I apply the key frames, .. is that normal... is it a bug of 18.5.. or I am missing something...? ok thanks again! cheers

[@navneetsaharan2008]

Very nice and to-the-point information.

[@chanathipmorths7323]

Really good video. Thank you. Subbed.

[@VincentPolisi]

Works perfectly! Thank you!
