Hello,

I have a station Z170X skylake i7-6700K with a amd rx 6900 XT (16Gb) and 32Gb of RAM. My system is on a NVMe and I use SDD disks for editing.
At the moment, I am editing 4K mp4 clips on a 1080 timeline and I have lags and delays every time I hit the space bar and every 3-4 seconds during playback. I have set the timeline resolution to half…

Hi,

This is something I don’t know how to do precisely, I always fiddle around but maybe there is a quick solution for it.

Let’s say I have a 60s long clip. I want to make an edit 30s long with it.
I want to start with a normal speed for the 10 first seconds of the clip and to end with a normal speed with the last 10 seconds of if.

So the middle…

Sorry, a GTX on Mac.

I don’t think that is now possible. Nvidia is not supported by Apple anymore.

Une GTX sur mac ?

Hi there,

I have been waiting for a long time to upgrade my GPU on my homemade machine running MacOS.
I am now in the process of buying one. And I’d like some advices.

I used to work with a GTX 1080 8Gb and have not been particularly impressed by it (playback not that smooth as part of my disappointment). Moreover only AMD GPU are now allowed on…

With all due respect Oliver, your point of view is not new and is based on… nothing.

I have been in the business of audio and video production since 1991. I have worked on a lot of different platforms with a lot of different workflows and for many different projects of all size. I am not making an argument of authority here but I even worked not…

Hi,

Why did you pick the RADEON 6900XT GPU ?

The AMD 5700XT have better performances.
As for the CPU, DVR and all other video softwares rely much more on the GPU than on the CPU so I am not sure you’d feel any difference there.

I work on both Mac and PC and have never really felt any differences that would make me swap from one OS to the other.

Hello,

I have bought a set of 200 Luts that I have installed in Davinci.

So far I set the lut for a particular clip (generally I do this on a timeline’s node) right clicking on the node > Luts > 3D lut > Myluts > and I then I pick up a lut.

To go from one LUT to the other that way is just a nightmare. Is there a quicker way to go from one LUT to…

Hello everyone,

I just came back from a month shooting abroad.

I had a in camera sound and a sound station recording stereo and lavalier mics.

As I don’t have any timecode generator, I set the camera and the sound station clock every morning.

In DR 17, I creating multicam timelines for every day shooting based on time code.

Now I have to synchronised…

Hello,

The last time I looked up on the Internet concerning picture styles for my canon 5DIII, it was in 2017. The general opinion back then was that flat picture styles were more of a disaster for colorist when used in 8bit camera.
4 years later, I wanted to look again on the Internet and to my surprise I found only old threads, like if no one is…

“BTW my footage was shot at 29.97, but in project settings Resolve is
showing 23.98 for timeline frame rate and playback frame rate.”

Well you may have answered your question there. I’ve had many issues with audio like the one you are describing. I usually unload and reload the project (or quit and open DR again) and that solves it.

Which version…

Hello,

Displaying the wave forms of my audio tracks makes my timeline very slow responsive when zooming in and out and I am not talking about playback yet. At a point where I have taken the habit to turn it on and off when I am done using it for synchro for example. Otherwise I simply can’t work properly.

I have a GTX 1080, 32Gig of RAM, 4GH Intel…

Ok It was in the preferences “Always highlight current clip in the media pool”
I had to ask here, to find out by myself !!!

Sorry.

Hi there,

One thing I do quite often is to conform with a selected clip in the media pool. Often also, I conform many clips with one same file in the media pool. As I can’t conform various clips at once, I have to do it one by one.

There is something quite annoying when doing so: when selecting a clip in the timeline to be conformed, Resolve…

Thanks for the reply, I wonder if it is not GPU related.

Anyway. I rebooted and went by.

Hello, very strange thing happening this morning. I opened my project and all the sound track are red. When playing there is no sound. Even stranger is the fact that the sound in question is the sound attached to video clips (and still linked to them) and that I can see the video !!!

Any idea please ?

If I drag the original clip from the media, it…

Hello,

Very common edit I guess, I cut a clip in three, I remove the middle part and I select and delete the void to reduce my clip.

Thing is, sometime in a complex timeline I guess, at least with two or three video/audio tracks, some track move along and some other stay put even though they are linked together (and then the little red label…

Hello,

I’ve heard of such a function but I am not sure if it exists in Resolve. I have a movie that I need to drastically grade so I really need to retrieve each clip the way they were in the original edit. So instead of going manually frame by frame to cut between the clips, is there a function in Resolve that could help me do that ?

Thanks.

Alex

Nobody?

Hello I am on Hackintosh and have been using a GTX 1080 for 4 years now. I don’t have to complain. It worked well. Things is that now to upgrade to Big Sur I need to change to an AMD card (since Nvidia and Apple are still at war).

I don’t know AMD cards at all, always been on Nvidia. Maybe you guys can advise me on which to buy. Thanks a lot.

Okay in fact my problem came when I used [shift+enter] to break the line. If I just use [enter] it works fine.

Weird. Thanks anyway.

In Davinci 15, I have tremendous difficulties to control line breaks.

Say I have a sentence that is long enough to produce an automatic line break at word W for example. Not happy with the distribution of the words on both lines, I decided to manually add a line break (shit+enter) somewhere before.

While the new line break works, the old automatic…

Hello,

On a 4 hour long clip (1280×720-25fps-32KHz mono) I have done some color grading + some cropping and resizing with a still as background, I have done the export scaling up to 1920×1080 keeping the same codec with no audio.

Once done, I imported the export back into the project and the clip is shorter.

I tried to figure out what I could have…

Hello there,

I am using DR15 so excuse me if this is available in later version, but I’ve done a mix on a timeline which I’d like to reuse on another timeline (with the same track arrangement), is there a way to exort (?) the fairlight mix and add it to a timeline ?
Thanks for your input.

Hello,

Cutting within a clip, removing a some of it and deleting the newly created gap in clicking in the empty space and deleting is a pretty usual move. The condition being that no other clips overlaps that space, every other later clip should move back.

I don’t know why, and that might be due to a Conform operation I did on the main video track…

While Replacing my clip one by one with your method David, I realize than one clip was linked with another. Here is why the first method might have not worked. I keep doing your method thought, even if I would have loved to at least have a shortcut for the clip>Replace With Media Clip 🙂

Joseph and David thank you.

I have tried your method David but it does not replace anything.

Edit: actually, it works when selecting one media at a time but not with all the clips selected. I guess this is a (long) way.

As for why certain clips do not conform, it appears that all cut after 01:00… are properly replaced but the ones below 01:00 do not.

Ok, I have found my error.

The TC of the clip from my friend started at 01: while mine started at 00:

So here is what I have tried (without success).

I have replace the clip from the media tab and then in the attribute, I have change the TC back to 00:.

It actually works for around 2/3 of my cuts but not all of them. Any idea why and if not how can I…

Hello there,

This is a simple question. I have two cams on the same subject and I will create gaps in the highest track to see the lowest now and then. As I need to do this for about 50 edits, I was wondering if there were a way to create automatic fade in and fade out  to my highest video track.

Thanks  for your help.
