Just wanted to say thanks. When you released your stacked timeline/hot key suggestions I started using them, just those two alone saved me sooo much time. So yeah...thanks for that.
once I discovered how to change the proxy quality to lower and generate proxies it absolutely changed the smoothness of editiing 4k footage on my notsohighend computer. thats an extremely helpful tip for many people. that combined with the render cache.
Love the fact that your timelines look neat and clean, not like most of the other youtubers out there, always trying to show 10 videos stocked with 30 rows of sfx
I'm throwing in a blind like, in the evening I'll get down to studying the film and putting some of the advice into practice. Your videos are mega valuable.
George, all of your videos have been so very helpful. Thanks for putting all of this in one video to refresh my memory on the cool stuff you've told us.
Although I would say, although my FX3 and FX30 have the ability to record proxies in camera I've never once used it. Client projects run usually into the 100's of gb sometimes like the one I have for Qatar Airport 1tb, proxies would make that number just too much
@@filmmakerevolution Last year I shot some behind the scenes for a friends' project on the FX30. About a week's worth of content. The main footage was around 126GB, proxies were 12GB. Of course I didn't shoot all day every day, mostly just shorter snippets of what was going on. But still. They definitely take up some space, but in the grand scheme of things, they're not that big. And in my case, I'm willing to sacrifice a few gigs to save myself the hours it would take me to generate proxies inside Resolve later 😁
Thank you so much for distilling years of work into such an optimized and practical video. It’s truly outstanding and incredibly useful for enhancing productivity during work hours!
Thanks, George, for your wonderful library of useful tips! Working already for a few years with DaVinci I still learned some new tricks to speed up my workflow. 👏😊
Cheers. Quick question: any way to assign Effects as Favorites without the folder structure? In older versions of DVR I've seen people adding e.g. an Adjustment clip to the Favs panel and it'd be there, ready to go. In v19 I have to unfold the entire path: Toolbox > Effects > Adjustment Clip. It defeats the purpose of having it flagged as a Fav. Any way to revert it to the "old way"?
@@MIHAO Unfortunately I don't think so, or if there is a way I don't know it. I've had issues with this as well lately, not sure why they broke something that worked fine 😅
❤❤❤ Your DaVinci Resolve tutorials have been incredibly helpful and informative. You've made complex concepts so much easier to understand, and your content has truly been a game-changer for me. 🎉🎉🎉Thank you for your dedication and effort in creating such valuable resources for everyone. 😊 Keep up the amazing work! 💯/💯
These are great tips that no one really covers. Also at 1:44 it is easier to just copy and paste the project and rename, rather than Open in Read Only Mode as you might miss-click Open. This is important because when Resolve updates, if you open your project with previous version, you can never go back to it if you decide to downgrade to previous version. I learned this the hard way. :(
You are amazing, thank you very much for this video!! I have a question though. Is it possible to save all your preferences and customization for newer pc's? I mean all the shortcuts, preferences and such. There is any way to backup them in DR or Windows? Thanks!
The default transition key is a life changer. Every time I'm dragging in cross dissolves..i keep wondering if there's a faster way somewhere. Thank you.
If I'm allowed, an additional comment on Proxy and Render Cache settings - One could also set "Render Cache Format" to lowest quality formats like "ProRes 422 Proxy"/"DNxHR LB" to reduce cache file sizes. Higher quality formats will cause cache folder to balloon to crazy sizes quickly. Thank you for these videos GK. Very helpful!
Thank you so much for this absolute life saving tutorial! ❤ You are just right on point and explains the fact. I love it! Also I have a little question to ask. When I zoom into my preview window with the scroll wheel and try to drag around for spectate, it seems doesn't work. It only zoom into the centre point of the window. could you help me to fix this?
Assuming I have a decent computer (m1 Mac with lots of memory), what's your best suggestion for better speed (viewing and editing). Set up the timeline resolution to 1080 (clips are mostly 4k 60p), then just render 4k when done, or create proxy clips for everything?
Depends how bad your playback issues are if any. I tend to keep my working timeline in whatever resolution the footage is and just use "Timeline Proxy Resolution" (which doesn't affect the actual working timeline res) to view a lower resolution preview. Proxies are also great, but if you have to generate them within Resolve for a lot of footage, it can take some time. That's why I prefer using internal proxies on my cameras. But if you don't have a camera that shoots proxies internally, making them in Resolve will also help out a lot with smooth playback.
Thank you for the reply and good advice. I’ll try the timeline proxy resolution and see how that goes. My Sony camera can generate proxy’s, but I end up using that more for pictures and my iPhone for video clips. I don’t believe they can do that. Either way, if this becomes an issue, I can’t still always create proxies as you mentioned. Thank you
Nice video but I got a question regarding Power Bins: The Power Bins will be accessible in any new project outside the one that I created it? And how to transfer items from the Power Bin in my computer to other computer with Da Vinci Resolve?
Bro 🙏., nice tutorial but can you help me with one thing. I have imported 40-50, 4k videos for creating a tour vlog video in da Vinci, now i noticed when i trief to import more by drag and drop i can't see further new videos in the media pool. Why it is not showing and how to fix this.
Yeah, I don't touch fusion at all. Use MotionVFX plug-ins for the stuff I'd need fusion for. Just not really something I've looked into much because I don't need it for the type of work I normally do.
Can you make a video on saving effects like settings on the inspector, for example changing size and saving that effect without using a adjustment clip, something that you can just click, i use avid at work (tv network) and bought davinci resolve studio to do eveything at home, but the inability to save an effect that you can just click and is added to the clip makes it useless if i'm trying to be fast
Coming from someone that has used everything from wondershare filmora, premiere pro, Clipchamp, capcut ect. I can honestly tell you that it will be absolutely worth your time to download DaVinci resolve and learn what u need through YT tutorials. I really wanted to use premiere pro as u will always here how adobe is industry standard and the best of the best, but the more i started editing in Davinci, I stand by it being all u need. until you are in need of the best motion graphics and animated effects, i would still recommend after effects for that
I have a tecnical question. Do you know any real solution for "horizon lock"? I keep waiting for a update that will make this possible. When i shoot handheld, my horizon keeps rotating clockwise and anti clockwise throughout the clip? Is there a way to keep horizon locked in place without me going to manualy keyframe every second of rotation angle? Thank you!
@@fanikurti2420 For the most part the stabilization feature should take care of some of those movements but it depends on how strong they are. I don't think there's a dedicated horizon lock feature right now 😕
Brother i have issue....when i place notmal mp4 and png file in media pool and drag to cut and editing page...but cant open cant run how to fix it....pl guide and give me best suggestion for it....from india ❤❤

It is wildly useful on longer more packed time lines. Used it a bunch of times while editing this video as well. Life saver 😁

Great tips to set up your DR setup and workflow on a complex level, for increased productivity. Very helpful and pro!
excellent collection of how-tos and time-savers, thanks!

@@bepowerification Yep, proxies and time line proxy resolution are the two things allowing me to keep editing on an old PC 😂

in export project archive, the plugin effects and text would work on another computer or not ?.
