Companion commentary from one who edits non-YT stuff:
2:25 Watch your footage actively with an editors mind. What emotion gets evoked? Where does this fit in the story? In addition to sorting, I tend to start a selection process as well. All the best parts of the B-roll gets cut to a timeline. Another workflow is to use markers on the footage for the juicy parts.
5:56 Rather than bringing the VO to the timeline and then thinning, try putting it into the source viewer and insert the parts via In/Out points. (Edit->"Switch to Timeline after Edit" should be off). J,K,L scrubs. I,O selects, F9 inserts. Save trimming for a second pass in trim mode, for efficient rippling. A lot of time is saved because you won't swap back and forth between listening and trimming. In short: build up, don't thin down. Internalize the VO story by listening to it.
10:10 I'd save sound passes for later and just make some quick adjustments this early in the process. Picture might change a ton of stuff around.
13:24 This is where a selection process helps you recognize/remember which B-roll clips you want. Build the story out of your best takes. This project has VO and Music, so the sound should be a guide on the rhythm and pacing of the video.
16:11 Always move the project forward. If you watch the timeline you already have, you want to do some kind of trimming along the way. Endless rewatching without action adds up, quickly, because your timeline tends to grow. Alternatively: take notes.
18:05 Add a Text+ title as a "cue card" placeholder for the graphics until you can replace it with the real deal. Small cue cards sprinkled throughout an unfinished timeline can help with flow and pacing.
23:21 Expect to spend 50% or more of your work on getting audio right. A lot of editing decisions are driven by audio, either from the VO/Radio-Edit or the Shot itself. Be scientific: use the meters. I tend to dial dialogue at -10dB peak and music at -15 or -18. This gives you a ton of mixing headroom, and resolve can loudness-normalize on delivery. Compression can help level the loudness on a track so it's easier to control.
24:42 Get each track nice in isolation first, then begin focusing on the mix. Dialogue leveler late means you have to redo all your volume manipulation. Same with Compression. You probably want compression on the track rather than the Bus, such that you can adjust the compression individually for each voice.
Hi Casey, thank you for your hard work and dedication in helping so many people around the world navigate the complex world of video editing. Your videos have helped me a lot. Every time I have an issue, I pray that your name comes up in the search results. And time and time again, it has. For that I'm truly grateful.
Wow, thank you!
I like the way you built everything around the voice over. Now it makes perfect sense.
Yay that's awesome!
Right?! Ive been editing "backwards" this whole time... making the footage what i like, then struggling with timing audio and filling gaps. I think this is the biggest take-away for me!
@@RachelsArtDesk I create video tutorials and they are really perfect only when I start with voiceover. Ideally with the final version and then build everything around it. Maybe @CaseyFaris might do video about different approaches, their pros and cons. I'm still convinced I work "upside down", but it just works for me.
Splitting audio and just doing a crossfade is brilliant for simplifying volume control.
Well this absolutely came out at the perfect time! Will be recording and editing a video when I get home tonight and it'll be my first edit in resolve. Start the good habits right away! Thank you!
The most important thing when editing is key binds. I work with 300% faster than I used to due to setting them properly.
action blockbuster actor AND a fantastic resolve teacher? What can’t this man do?
I can't play Street Fighter very well.
Hey Casey, There at 23:40 where you start cutting the music to dip with the voice over. That can be automated by sidechaining the Compressor under the dynamics section of the mixer. Press the send button on VO compressor and listen button on the track. Set the threshold and there you go. Everytime the VO track plays it triggers the compressor of the Music track. There is a lot of tweeks that can be done to dial it in. Hope that helps :)
Yeah, and if you want the music to be held at a consistent level you can increase the hold on the compressor so the music doesn't keep jumping up in between slight pauses. However, one feature that is missing from Resolve's dynamics is a range limit so you could have the compressor turn the volume down the same amount every time. If you want the music turned down the same amount during each section, you'll probably have to do it the way Casey showed. Unfortunately, Resolve also doesn't allow VST sidechaining, otherwise you could use another compressor plugin that has these features.
Yes, in theory you could sidechain except resolve doesn't allow VST sidechaining but yeah, it could work if there was sidechaining in resolve.
I use my DAWs "detect/remove silence" for the voice overs
@@bestkoreanjesus Resolve does technically have sidechaining, but it's extremely limited as you can only use Resolve's dynamics effect and you only get one sidechain buss. For a basic voice over this may not be a problem, but if you need to sidechain more than one thing in a different way, you can't. A while back I made a feature request for VST Sidechaining on the official Resolve forum and hopefully they'll add it in. It would open up so many possibilities, like multiband sidechaining, which are currently not possible in Resolve. This is one of the big reasons why I render all audio out of Resolve and mix in Reaper.
Casey, your vids are so top notch. Thank you. I've learned a ton from you and know I will continue to learn more. You asked in your video how we'll be using your content. I'm working on a YT channel right now that will feature "modern day treasure hunting" (rockhounding, thrifting, geocaching, natural beauty, etc.) and I feel like your vids are these little (or sometimes huge) gems of treasures that I keep finding in my process. So, thank you for that! I sincerely appreciate it.
This is truly exceptional piece of tutorial in youtube. Glad I've found you from one of Kevin Startvert video. you are my first teacher in DaVinci Resolve. You are awesome man! 🥰
Thanks Casey, it's helpful to see how someone else breaks down of the creation process. Interesing to think about building the video around the VO as a base. Definltly going to experiment with that process.
Thanks, keep making this kinda content! (along with everything else you do!)
Watched this video twice, amazed how much we forget or overlook.. thanks great video
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've captured a ton of footage, now I'm ready to create the video aaaaannnnnndddd freeze. How to start, where to begin, quit just staring at the screen like a dummy. These editing tips are awesome and give me a place to start and some additional fusion ideas to add to the ones I have in mind.
This is the best video of DaVinci Risolve on Yout Tube. Thanks for this tutorial and for your time
how did this guy know what I have been looking for!? this is it! thank you casey.
Really needed this, thanks!
Super helpful, thanks!
Hey Casey!
Man, this was amazing!
Thank you so much for bringing this content!
By the way congratulations on your entire journey and dedication!
Man, that 'Voice Isolation' feature freed me from a Ghost Radio Station haha
Thank you Casey!
Thank you very much for your videos Casey, means a lot to me
Thanks for the basic overview and what I got out of it was a good intro to story telling by starting with the voice over. By the way I have been watching your videos for about 2 years and recently bought the studio version. And creating a coherent story has been my biggest problem. Love your stuff. Thanks.
An amazing quick tutorial. Thanks so much!
Super helpful and timely; thank you, Casey! I’m a long-time pro photographer only recently venturing into video (after a couple of false starts in years past). I’ve committed to a couple of projects in the next 30 days where I’m going to need to be handling multiple video, audio, and voiceover tracks, and this sensible, intuitive approach that you’ve taught here has me feeling much more confident in my ability to deliver.
Wow this was great!
this is AWESOME. more like this please 💪😎
This is so much great information in this video that I can use to practice with.
please bring more videos like this.. very much required
Thanks for the helpful video. I've just finished my PC and got DaVinci Resolve finally. Been about 15 years since I did any editing but looking forward to getting back into it with some projects I have planned.
Brilliant, I’ve been plodding through DaVinci Resolve for two years and have become passably proficient with the basic fundamentals, but there’s always something that still surprises me when I go through your basic videos. Love the zombie touch by the way.
Great to hear!
As always a great vid! Thanx man!
Very helpful! Thank you again.
Casey - You're a gem 💎
No U
Thanks so much Casey! My channel focuses on breaking down games from a design perspective, and sharing design thoughts after my 20 odd years in the industry. Honestly I’ve used your videos from day one to learn how to edit. Thanks so much.
Dang that's so coool! Glad my vids are helpful!
Awesome as always ❤
Your videos are amazing! Thanks so much!
Just starting out with video editing for the first time and came here from a video by Kevin. I'm really glad I found DaVinci Resolve and found this channel this soon. I'm sure I'm gonna get really good with video editing pretty soon just from the boost of confidence that you've given me. Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thank you!
thanks casey, its very helpful, and also i like the style of zambie version, its amazing man, i love it
Thankyou so much for this.😊
just watching right now i think this video will come in handy thanks
thank you guys
Nice tips scattered around. Render setting tip is gold.
Did you know I needed this video right now more than anything? Because thank you.
Legit same 😊
So much great info in this video. Could have done without the zombie stuff but the rest of the video is fantastic. Thanks for all the info you give us, Casey!
Hi Casey thank you so much for offering all this info for free. Basically this video covers most of what I need to learn. The fusion animation of the plane flying on the map is really useful for the content I want to learn how to make. I want to learn how to do it as I will need it all the time. I travel long distances on a bicycle in the videos that I am making and replacing the plane with a bike would be sooocool..Thank you
this video compresses in the Essence what took me years to get.. in 30 minutes... Chapeau Monsieur. May be not much new to me but boy, what a gift if one is getting into this 🙏
one of your best videos in my opinion. Looking forward to the rest of the year!
Yay! Thank you!
Thanks!
Awsome video man! You, once again made my day much better and hopefully also my next video! :D
Amazing tutorial
Thank you
This. Amazing video. I will be taking away so many points from this video. My workflow has been so ass about and janky I will be making many changes. Thanks so much for the help. Awesome video as always.
Thank you Casey!, I'll apply a lot of your tips to my videos and even reedit for some audio corrections that I'm still getting the hang of it in Davinci Resolve😄
I want to make travel vlogs. It’s going to be my first time using Davinci Resolve. Your video is so helpful. Now.I am intrigued with fusion too . Thanks a lot!
You are awesome! I have an overwhelming urge to buy you a coffee.. of your choice! Love your channel mate :)
I'd definitely enjoy the map tutorial... I've enjoyed your videos, I'm learning so much. Thank you
thankyou！
Thank you, that was super helpful!! I just made my first music video, yay!
U won me over today Casey. Brilliant video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'd definitely appreciate a video about how you made the map with Fusion. Your practical examples are super helpful.
I'd love to see a video on how you created the map animation in Fusion. Thanks for the great content!
Yes! I would definitely like a video on how you made the map in fusion
Amazing! So much fantastic information! Time to get off the couch and do something!
You got this!
Thank you SO MUCH!!!
You're welcome!
Discovered Davinci Resolve yesterday, and today I’m blessed with this tutorial?! THANK YOU!!!!
Happy to help!
OMG! I found your channel yesterday and today you answered my questions in this video🎉🎉🎉 I am new to DaVinci Resolve and I thought it would be logical to start with VO but all the others out there are doing clips first - thanks for showing a better way to get your videos done!
I'm so glad!
Great tutorial, Casey. I've been editing for a while so most of this was just a refresher, but there were a couple of things I didn't know. Also, I would love to see a video on multicam workflow in DaVinci. Last year I used DR to edit an entire 90-minute multicam recording of a musical and while it started off good, it eventually got to be a mess and took me twice as long as doing a similar project in Premiere Pro. Thanks!
I'm a relative newcomer and have got a work flow I've created over the last few months. This video has a load of great tips that I didn't even know about from all the tutorials I've watched! Top notch.
Glad it was helpful!
Epic.
Amazing Casy ... which talent of actor...... !!!!!
Fusion scares me! I hope you can make me understand it. I'm a very basic and beginner video creator. I'm going to check out some more of your videos. Thank you!
Fun zombie production along with the lesson! And happy to see your family life to go along with your youtube success. All the best.
I plan on making some gaming videos and videos in general as well all on my TH-cam channel going to be watching your channel and positing and learning thanks for the tips appreciate it!
Great video, I learned a bunch of ideas that I think will speed up my workflow! Previously I was editing the sound and zoom-ins of my videos in one go, but I think it would be faster now to do them in 2 separate passes.
I actually wonder if you could make a video explaining a workflow for making this video itself (a screen recording with PIP and zoom-ins). Some questions I have are:
- How to record webcam and screen at the same time to different files? Currently I just bake in my PIP to the desktop recording with OBS.
- Faster workflows for zooming in on desktop elements
- Maintaining resolution when zooming in
Thanks!
Love the video! Always learning from your video's. Can you please make a video on the map making in fusion please!
That looks really good for GoPro. Is that the new 12?
My channel has REALLY been struggling and i been trying to find where i been slacking and lacking. You are THE GUY who got me off the fear of FUSION AND FAIRLIGHT I've been playing with it daily and learning it the last 2 weeks. U the muhfukkin man bro!! THANK YOU MUCH!! CHEERS TO HOPING I SEE A SHIFT IN MY CHANNEL!! Have a great year!!!
That's awesome! Just keep working! Think about your audience, how do you give them the most value. What kind of person are you making vids for. Then make the very best video you can as often as you can. You got this.
Hey Casey, great video and your kids are so cute!! I was just curious if you knew that you could sidechain compress your dialogue to the background music in the dynamics section. This will duck the music every time you talk. You’ve taught me SO MUCH so just tryna give back haha
Can't believe this has only 47k view. This video added value to my workflow thanks!
I do about 90% of that. Nice to see that I am doing it right. Regarding pauses in audio...I do not get rid of as much because I do highly technical videos and the pauses I do have allow folks to ponder a technical term, formula, ...letting the point sink in for a moment before pressing on. I do not want to "steam roller" my viewer with too much, too quickly.Oh ... and the color card in this video is in the wrong place. It pops in some seconds after you announce it. Just sayin'
hey @casey you should definitely try sidechaining in your audio workflow. it fully eliminates the need for cutting and ducking the audio. what it does is basically listen to the channel of your voice and the more amplitude it receives the more it silences the music. you can do this with compression and even with selective frequency. for instance automatically lowering the high and mid frequencies the music depending on what frequency yyour voice takes up, so that it allows for the music and your voice to blend masterfully letting each one to be perceived at full volume. if ou already knew about sidechaining and prefer to do it by cuting and manual ducking thats also cool. love your videos.
nice!
Very nice video, I actually like to set up color management at the beginning, so I can kind of see how it is going to look. Start with color management, add the overall video look, then adjust individual clips.
Would really love a video on the map animation. One other thing, is that I have started always exporting out to HLG, and just uploading that to TH-cam, they will handle the 709 version for users who don't have HDR displays, but that way I can ideally put out the best version.
Really love your tutorial and I love the zombie setup! Very funny.
I would also love to see a tutorial on the Fusion Plane travel effect pleaaaaaaase?
Great content and tips. Thanks. Please do share how you made the map animation.
Agree, I do hiking and backpacking videos and animated maps tell the viewer a lot.
Hi Casey and thank you for all your brilliant tutorials. I did a 3 weeks trip last year in French Polynesia and ended up with hundreds of footages and then realized my 3 cameras were not at all aligned on the same time (one was Paris time, one on summer hour and the last on local time !). Quite hard then to build a linear story ... Any trick you would know to go around this situation once the dammage in done ?
And Travel Maps! Yes please! I watched an amazing travel map tutorial on VFXStudy recently, but it used 3D extensively, and brought my laptop to its knees, and caused DaVinci to crash. I’d love a travel map method that only used 2D tools. Specifically, my trip starts with flights from Australia to Budapest, via Singapore and Frankfurt. So they’re relatively long hops. Then I’d like to follow a river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam, stopping at a number of cities along the way. These are relatively short hops, so I need to smoothly transition from a “world view” to a more detailed view of the relevant parts of Europe (Hungary, Austria, Germany, The Netherlands). Should be a piece of cake 😄
Love your videos Casey.
Great video. Yes a map overview would be great. How about an update video to using 3d Objects
Hi Mr. Casey. Thank you for the video. It was very helpful. In the video you get your audio placed first. Should we always do this? In my stop motion videos I never know if I should record the audio before or after filming. Dad and I have tried it both ways. While it was nice having the audio done first we found that we had too much dialogue for what we planned on filming. When we did the filming first we spent so much time recording audio, trying to get the timing of our lines so they fit in the film, which made our lines less natural. Either way we always seem to be changing our script. Dad says we need more practice, we just don't know which way we should practice. Should we record our lines first or film first? Thank you for your help.
What a great video! I was going crazy with the dialog vs music volume - until you went into Fairlight. That was when it became listenable (for my 66yo ears that have issues with frequencies above about 800hz). It seems to me so many Movies and TV shows have the background music far to loud to allow the dialog to be easily heard - at leas5 for me.
use side-chain compression on the music and trigger it with the voice over, it will reduce the volume of the music automatically when the dialog comes.
This is awesome! I was looking for a vid on workflow a few days ago, but the ones I found only talked about file management and nothing else. Also isn't there a way you can dip the audio by pressing alt + drag? Edit: Nevermind, I found it. It's called Automatic Keyframe Ducking
casey, that is a great video. I'm really new to video editing, vloging etc. I really don't have the best laptop for this but I'm making it work. just a little tip that could make your really great videos even better for people like me that are absolute beginners. slow down a little more and exaggerate some showing where to click on things. sometimes, it is hard to follow where you are clicking. for the average person that may not be an issue but for me it would be helpful. looking forward more great tutorials. I subscribed.
Hi Casey 👋
Thanks for the informative video.
With regards to making proxy’s, am I correct in thinking this isn’t necessary if media was shot in 1080p and between 30-120fps?
Apologises if this is a silly question, I’m still pretty new to the editing game.
Thanks!
I made my first video after watching your crash course. Never used DaVinci Resolve before and virtually any other software. I messed up a lot of stuff but I was able to finish it. So thanks :-) After watching this I think I will improve in my next project :-)
Wow that's so cool!
One question! Do you color grade the proxies?
Would like to learn more about rendering .
Hi Thank you for this. Really appreciate this. There is a video you did,awalk through of editng a bar and grill video, i cant find it on your channel. Di you delete it or i am searching the qrong way ?
@CaseyFaris if you were doing a traditional YT video, like this one, would you just add your Aroll with the audio track, then go through cutting it up as if it were a VO track?
THANK YOU CASEY. The way for me to say thank you is to watch all ads without skipping. 😂
How do you start out with your clips? If I have an hour of footage but only need five minutes sprinkled throughout would you cut that up into clips export then bring it in? Or Are you clipping the video in this same project?
I'm very interested of trying to get away from after effects and use fusion, (hopefully) I would love to see your map animation in fusion
