Dear experts, here is the result :

https://youtu.be/oyKT5VfoyZE
I exported the clips on one timeline with the Deflicker effect in Color (to a ProRes HQ file).

Brought the exported clip back in the timeline.

Put again the Deflicker effect on it, exported it, and here it is.

You’re the best !

Thank you.

Bonne journée.

Thanks a lot Mads for the shared knowledge and the live human experience, it makes this online place more lively and interesting.

It is very hard for me to understand the advice here because as you know you can either render within the logiciel, either render by exporting the file, which one do you mean here please ?

Hey Mads,

I kindly appreciate and thank you for the message.

I’m afraid I would be looking for a cheaper solution if that’s not too naive to ask.

Hey,

I hope you are well.

Here is a clip I’m trying to deflicker.

I have many clips like that in my 7 minutes reportage.

I thought I had paid 300$ do save myself some time and energy on Davinci Studio but :

hey,

is there a microphone around 100$ you would recommand that does a fair job for recording voices over using DVR built-in tool ?
thank you if you read me,

thank you Mads, i ll do that and give it a higher Mb/s also (50 for starters) 🙂

i’m sorry if my question if both dumb and naïve

hey,

my reels don’t look good as good as i would be satisfied them to be

my files are 4K shots on iPhone 16 exported in .MP4 H.265 25 Mb/s 1080×1920

IA 8$ plan tells me to try to export in H.264, 2160×3840 and with a higher debit (50 Mb/s)

Hello,

First of all, sorry for my very naively formulated question.

I am at the moment filming with my iPhone 16 in 4K, and I would like to invest in a better looking image camera.

I am thinking of this one :

Hello,

Is there a way I can make these two shots white balance match, in a faster way than moving the Global button below ? I’m struggling.

Re,

A very basic question (I am sorry), something I don’t understand well yet.

My rushes files are in Quicktime H.265 L5.0, 30fps in 4K.

I just exported this (content based) footage in Apple ProRes 422 HQ, which gives a 2,01 GB file whereas I get a 236 MB file with the file exported in Quicktime H265 (100Kb/s*).

I guess theses 3 questions are actually…

Thank you both 🙂

Hello guys,

Da Vinci takes about 1 hour to render a 4 minutes 4K video (from H265 to Quicktime H265), I wonder if I’m doing something wrong as you can guess it’s quite driving me crazy.

Thank you if you have any hints 🙂

Jean

thank you Michael for your dear presence and rigourous feedback each and every time, it is a blessing such quality help for nothing

so you are right, again, but restarting DV et my computer did it this time…
thank you again !

please have a bright day

jean

Thank you Michael. Effectively, the colorspace of the timeline had a slight difference.

One output color space was on Rec.709 A et the other one on Rec.709 (Scene).

So I put them both on Rec.709 (Scene) but the problem remains.

I am looking at the file within DV on the same monitor, but on two different sequence and the grading still does not appear…

hello again,

please excuse me for the double posting, as this question is not related to the previous one, i hope i don’t do something unappreciated

i would like to obtain the same grading but not matter what i do, it is…

Hello,

Would anyone else experience pain just to connect a DJI MIC 2 transmiter by using the default usb-c cable, or another usb-c cable, to an Apple computer ?

Sometimes the iMac recognise it, for God knows what reason, after five or ten minutes. You can imagine how positively this impacts the workflow.

It is a bit astounding.

Thank you if you read me,

Okay Mads, thanks again, but in which container : .MP4 like you said earlier ?

Thank you again Michael et Mads.

So if I understand correct : DNxHQX 10 bit and DNx444 12 bit are not suitable for Youtube ?

I would like to know what is the best one I could use in general and for Youtube, if I may ask.

I have at the moment a lot of space on my disk (1To).

Thank you a lot to you two (Devrim and John), where can I find these tutorials please John ?

Here is how I clicked my Color buttons, but I get no changes…

Michael, a lof of thanks.

Which one is better between DNxHQX 10 bit and DNx444 12 bit ?

Can I use these for uploading my video to Youtube (or Instagram) with the best quality I can get out of my sequence ?

Hey dear experts,

Sorry, it’s me again.

I’m having trouble with some HDR 4K Dolby footage shot with the iPhone 16 : after importing them in DVR, they are quite overexposed.

My output space color is already set to 709A as I’m on my Mac.

Left photo : original footage.

Right photo : from the timeline viewer (same if I export normally).

Thank you Michael.
I found out that the problem was that I did not have the 709A option clicked on (both in my project and in DVR settings).
So would you export it now, for the best quality : in ProRes HQ or MP4 H264 (OR H265) ?

Hey Mads,

First, thank you for your kind and lucid feedback.

I’m at the moment exporting a ProRes file as you suggested, I will see how it goes 🙂

You are right that I’m blowing the file as much as I can, as the film (48 minutes) will be uploaded to… (suspense and suspense) Youtube, with it’s nasty compressor.

So I’m trying to get it there, in the…

Hello editing experts,

My visit among you is due to the fact that I can’t get the export video fit to what the image ressemble within my sequence.

Hello,

Could you help me figure out why I can’t hear no audio, although the volume is set on -10db.

Hey,

Does anyone experience intense pain while blurring (in my case a feature documentary), with DaVinci Resolve.

Main pains :

– The tracking tool really tracks so bad. I’m pretty much blurring the whole film manually, which takes edges. As the tracking tool mainly works on static shots, which makes it quite weak.

– Copying a blurred mask from one…

Thanks Jamie. Where is the “Keyframe menu” please ?

I don’t even have the “(” you mention on my keyboard.

Second question :

How can I make my two blur mask merge into each other ?

As you can see, the yellow one “resists”, and the blue one is absorbed.

Hey,

I’m having a hard time with my blur masks.

As you can see, I put my opacity on 0, but it does nothing (Yellow blur on the image).

(I need my blur to fade out).

I’m trying to modify my keyframes, but they are so tiny I can’t even click on them.

What a pain.

Thank you if you have any tips,

Jean

Dear specialists,

I found out. The problem was that I was importing the video from an external disk. Moved my filed on my computer and it worked like a charm.

Many thanks for all your kind help,

Namaste.

Dear Creative experts,

I was just wandering how I can import a .mp4 file into DaVinci, I read it was the best format for importing video file in DaVinci…

Dragging the file directly won’t neither.

Hello there, could someone help me please 🙂

Hey,

I just exported it as Quicktime .H264, 40 000 Kb/s.

It’s still the same.

As you can see it has nothing to do with the original :

ps : I would appreciate to keep the format square.

Bro, you’re simply the best.

Colors are now loyal before and after.

A single problem remains, as you can see, in the export the text looks slightly blurred (left pic).

Here is the comparaison and the window of my export settings :

Hey Michael, thank you.

The image was created on Photoshop, and my monitor is an iMac 2017 with a retina screen.

Hello Michael, thank you for your experience feedback on the subject 🙂

So what do I do now ?

Thank you Riccardo for the conversion but this file is way to compressed.

Anyone know how to use a .png file in Davinci Resolve ?

Here it is brother :

Hey, thank you Steven and Riccardo 🙂

I changed the color space to “sRGB”. Within the parameters, and by adding a node in the color page.

It does nothing, the image is still not faithful to the original.

It’s a cover album, so I would appreciate not to convertit it to a very compressed format like .jpeg.

I expect Davinci to read a format as universal…
