Hi

I’m on an iMac and my hard drive recently died. I was able to have a new drive installed and do a complete backup from my Time Machine with no issues.

However.

When I go into Resolve (18.6) and try to open a project, my timelines are gone.

That’s when it opens. Trying to open a different project just crashes the app outright.

I’m on the free…

I’ve just finished making a family video for a client, and they’d like me to put it onto thumb drives to give to the kids.

Can anyone give me advice about the best way to do this that is the most ‘universal’ ????

I’d like for them to be able to plug the drive into pretty much anything and be able to watch the video. I’m in a Mac environment, but…

This is something I encounter a lot.

Someone who is not used to being on camera will begin a statement or an answer to a question very loudly, and then taper off as they get to the end of the sentence.

Apart from setting a keyframe at the beginning and end of each statement and ramping up the volume, is there another way to fix this?

Thanks!

Thanks! I’ll give that a try~!

I just shot a lecture where the speaker’s podium thing keeps ‘thumping’ …

Can anyone suggest a way to remove this? I’m at a loss…

Thanks!

I’m having trouble finding this via google searches, and I -think- it’s a simple question but…

I’m going to do a shoot where I’ll have an interviewer and an interviewee.

I’d like to hook them both up with lavs and have two separate audio tracks when I’m done. In my experience, the camera mixes both tracks into a single stereo output.

Can I separate…

I’m just getting started in Resolve, so please forgive if this is an obvious question.

I have a two camera shoot I’d like to sync up with an external audio track. All video tracks have their own audio.

It appears (and I’m guessing here) that every time I started and stopped the cameras, each new clip was assigned a camera number. So, when I try to…

I’ve been approached to shoot a cooking how-to video and am figuring out how to set up a camera directly above the cooking area.

My plan is to hook up my a6600 on a century stand, and I’m looking for a good external monitor. I don’t mind paying some $$ for one that will last a while. Any recommendations?

Also – I figure I’ll need about 15 feet of…

Thank you! I’ll definitely check it out.

Well, my once-every-90-minutes PP crash just happened.

I’ve deleted my preferences (Adobe’s usual solution) many times, and it works for about a week.

I’m working with small (<2mb) stills in a 1920×1080 timeline. So… It’s not like I’m working with 8K footage…

My computer has many old versions and leftovers from adobe. I wonder if deleting all of…

I shot a virtual graduation ceremony in 4K and have been experiencing a lot of crashes when I edit in PP. I’m wondering converting all of my clips to 1080p will give me more stable performance.

The video’s final home will be on the web, so the extra resolution isn’t that big of a plus.

My plan is to resize my clips and create a duplicate project…

Hi!

Not sure if my question belongs here or in the Sony forum… I’m happy to move it, just let me know…

I’m a still photographer turning videographer. So I get lighting pretty easily but my audio knowledgeable still pretty rudimentary.

I’m using a Sony A7rIV and up to now recording my main audio to a Zoom H4. Put them together in plural eyes,…

I’m trying to draw a mask to make a large still image into a small one.

When I draw a mask, it exposes a lot more than it seems like it should.

Any ideas what’s not right?
