Thank you so much Jan.
As someone who shoots stills 99.9% of the time, I found this video very helpful - it's a great introduction to video editing. I will definitely be incorporating more video recording during my wildlife photography sessions.
Glad it was helpful!
Just made my first Vid with this program and after reading so much on it my head was spinning. Your Vid seems to simplify things a fair amount, A big thankyou for your time on this..Regards
Glad it helped!
Thanks this was extremely helpful!
Hi Jan, I found this Resolve tutorial very useful, many thanks. We met this morning at Cattana Wetlands.The mosquitoes were bad, although the weather was beautiful for photography. I look forward to seeing the results of today's shoot. Cheers, Terry.
Ha, yes was great to meet in person, albeit just short! Those mosquitoes were bad for sure !
AWESOME,been looking for something this simple to understand,thanks Jan.
Great!
Jan, this is a brilliant introduction to video editing. It takes a lot of forethought, savvy and social IQ to keep the demonstration clear and easy for the novice to understand and not be scared off. You began with (1) the WHY a wildlife photographer should want to do it (capturing the bird behavior in its natural environment). (2) You gave reassurance that there is a free editing software program that can work on most computers. (3) You showed how a novice can easily select, import, arrange and rearrange video clips on a timeline to create an interesting and flowing Storyline. (4) Then you showed that video and audio clips can be easily edited in similar ways the viewers already know from their photo editing. (5) Finally, you introduced that there are different options for exporting/rendering the completed video story for use in different viewing venues. You accomplished all this with calm narration in just a few minutes. Bravo! I am certain that you have opened an important gateway to video for a great many still photographers. Next? I have a suggestion for a follow-on blog production: demonstrate how brief clusters of photo stills (with or without Ken Burns movement edits) can enhance the video story. Cheers!
Thank you for the kind words!
I shared some of that in a video I made about Instagram a while back.
THANK YOU, JAN, FOR THIS. EXCELLENT. LIKE YOU DID INITIALLY, I AM JUST DOING PHOTOS FOR MANY MANY YEARS. I WILL START WITH VIDEO. GREAT INTRO. WILL TRY THIS SOFTWARE FOR SURE
This was exactly the nudge I needed to actually give this a try. Thanks so much Jan!
So glad!
Thanks alot for sharing... Very important and helpful
Glad it was helpful!
What a great video. Thank you so much for sharing this, now its time to give it a try!
Great!
Great video Jan. Haven't use DaVinci in a while and this is a good refresher. A quick tip for you...if you add an Effects/Adjustment clip to your timeline above the clips, all of the clips beneath it will get the same adjustments you make to it (for example color grading from the color tab). It makes it easier to get your color grade to apply to all of the clips, and if you want to change something later all of the clips will change at once.
Thanks for the info!
Thanks, Jan. This will be very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Thank you, Jan! I’ve been doing a bit of editing in Da Vinci successfully- but your explanation makes it so much clearer. 🤗
Glad it was helpful!
This is super, exact what I needed!
Some other topics that would be helpful:
- noise reduction
- slow a video down
thanks Jan, love the video's
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Jan! really nice tutorial!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Jan! For a simple and effective video. If possible can you please make a video on colour corrections in video editing. Regards.
in which way? At the end of the video I show you a bit of that
Thank you so much for this video.
It's my pleasure
Exactly what I needed for Davinci! Thanks Jan 😊
Perfect!
This is great! Thank you! I haven't tried editing my R5 video yet, I didn't know where to start! This is a great intro!
Glad it was helpful!
I just watched for the second time. It's a wonderful introduction on how to get started editing video clips. This is the first time someone has made sense of the process. I now feel more confident about downloading and using DaVinci Resolve for editing. Thank you !
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, I was scared of video editing, now I want to go out and film 😍
Yes, I think that's why most people don't do it
Would love to see a class on how you shoot your video
Jan, I'm REALLY glad you did this tutorial--perfect timing--I just shot a bit of video on a trip (using your video presets tips for the R5!) and will be editing it and had already chosen DaVinci Resolve. One thing that I think would help make this type of video even better--especially with all the shortcuts, is a keystroke visualizer like Carnac/PointerFocus or similar (I don't have experience with either, these were results from a quick Google!).
Thanks!
Great!
Thanks Jan , very good video to get me started the same process of missing video in my life that i ignored.
:)
Just very well done! I plan to watch it a few times. I just down loaded the DaVinci program.
Hope you enjoy it!
As at you usual pace it makes it achievable, so not so frightened but confidence will like most things build with practice so need to make a start with some of my clips with R5, thank Jan
Good Luck!
Thank you Jan for a great video! I am learning Resolve after having a decade-long break from video editing. It is great to find out how many new features exist nowadays, compared to my Premiere CS4 from 2006. 😅
Yes, big changes!
Perfect timing Jan, was just asking a FB group which was the best app to use for a beginner video editor. I have a quite a lot of clips from my R5 which just remain on my HD. Now I can make a start on stringing them together. Thanks for the easy to understand step by step video.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice. Thank you.
Most welcome
Thanks Jan for this excellent end-to-end video editing episode. Great starting points to dive in, and also helpful shortcuts (wow, middle mouse wheel button press for "copy settings"...cool !).
Are the 4k 25fps project mode and the translation stabilizer available within the free resolve edition? Cheers, Jason
I am pretty sure both are. Just not noise reduction and H.265 codec files
Thank you....Jan...
You're welcome 😊
Super!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Very helpful Jan, I am shooting more video these days but it’s not easy to do it well. At least for me, I have R5 with 100-500 and I can shoot handheld but struggling a lot to keep it stable. I have started to use enhanced digital stability setting which applies more zoom and seems to help a bit. Might be a video idea to show your field technique. Love that clip you showed, also how do you edit the audio and how do you record it! The list goes on…
Yes, it's just learning how to be as still and shake free as possible. I don't like the digital stabiliser as much, it sometimes seem to make unnatural movements, but it can help. It seems more effective at shorter focal lengths. What works for me is getting relatively stable footage and then using the stabilisers in davinci.
Thank you Jan, this was really useful with great tips. If you ever feel like doing a video on organising and being able to find video clip files I would be keen on that. I have loads of clips of different birds in folders by date, they are all mixed up, and basically I am not sure of the best way to organise the files so I can find the ones of a specific species irrelevant of date or place. I thought about organising by species but sure I might regret that!
It is tricky with video clips
tnx maybe in a part two, you can explain how you integrate your photos to the video, and zoom in out of the photo or from corner to corner as you do most times in your videos. I'd like to understand how you handle the stills.
There's some of this in here when I show hoe to make a reel
th-cam.com/video/68GgIY1eqAY/w-d-xo.html
One thing that has put me off video is finding a program to edit the clips in. Many are expensive and complex but I will now down load DaVinci Resolve 17 and give it a trial. Having now set my R5 up for video after watching your how too I feel a lot more confident to give this a go. Recently replaced my PC with a much more powerful one specifically for photography and video. Many thanks for this video and I'm sure it will be watched many times.
Awesome! Glad I could help
Good one Jan. I have shot thousands of video clips, and I need to start assembling them into longer videos.
Great
Thanks for your short cut colors edit. I subscribe for you.
Thanks for the sub!
Really good Jan. Yes I am afraid of video!!
Thanks so much!
Another awesome video Jan. I have been putting this skill development off for weeks now and have a project coming due this will help on. Many thanks.
Fantastic!
@@jan_wegener first little video is in the can! For some reason I could not get the 'add to render' button to activate but was able to use the the 'quick export' to work in the meantime. Are there some things you need to do to activate 'the add to render'? Will be trying more of course but if you face this would be great to hear from you. Cheers.
just tried it again and the add to render lit up and worked just fine! Second version underway. Thx.
Thanks, Jan, I'm going to Africa in weeks and want to do a video but I'm flunking video 101. What is your latest video for the setup in the camera?
Thanks, Jan. I have stayed away from video for a long time and now I reckon its time to face my fears. Tomorrow I will be going to my local park to film some birds. No more excuses!
Best of luck!
@@jan_wegener Thanks
Now I want to create a video like this too, but I don't have clips of wildlife now, I have to film some. Thanks for the inpiration, I never filmed wildlife before, now I'l try it!
Do you think I can get great clips with a Canon EOS 250D?
Wow! Excellent Jan! I really liked the tip about using the flow of the bird to cut into another scene! Do you have any tips on exposing using clog? zebra settings maybe? (using clog3 i would guess).
Histogram and Zebras
Very useful Jan, Thanks. I have been dabbling with IMovie so far (bundled with Macs) and have found it can probably do a lot of what you have shown here. But I think there are some enhanced features in Da Vinci. Nevertheless your tutorial has given me some useful tips that I can take forward and use in iMovie. I am considering upgrading to Final Cut at some point.
For the future, it would be very helpful if you could do a video showing how you plan your videos when capturing the wildlife , or at least your thought processes when getting that footage. From my limited experience I have found that it’s one thing to get clips in the field, but that doesn’t always work when trying to assemble them afterwards. I think I need more footage than I thought I would need and more variety to make something hang together. In a video piece.
Yes, you will need about 100 times more footage than you think and that includes random stuff two, like waterfalls, leaves with the sun & many different poses of the bird, including wider and tighter shots.
I don't always know what I will cut together in the end, but I do try to capture a large variety of stuff in the field.
I know several pro photographers who use DaVinci Resolve and they will no use any other app, so it is a "no-brainer" !
My "overwhelmed" meter reading has dropped significantly. Thank you very much!
Awesome!
Jan, great video as always. Would I be right in thinking that if I merged the clips in the timeline I would only need to apply the colour and highlights once ?
I suppose, but that would only work if the clips have all the same lighting etc
I just started to get back into Resolve a week or so ago so your video was a timely refresher! You mentioned how important sound is for video. have you ever made a video about recording the bird calls/sounds with an external mic? I‘ve been researching various methods but but I‘m not sure what equipment is really necessary and I‘m afraid my first setup may be either inadequate or a complete overkill! Do you have any tips?
I have mostly used the internal mic tbh
Great tutorial and tutoring skills, in your intro clip you use forest sounds, did you record them separately? Thank you
That was a free TH-cam clip
Thanks Jan, you read in my mind, it's exactly the subject that interests me at the moment. What made you choose DaVinci Resolve Studio over the other candidates?
I was using Davinci Resolve already and got a good deal
Hello Jan,
thank you for another very interesting and helpful video. I am gradually working my way into DaVinci Resolve, which is really great for a free programme.
I have one question: What export settings do you use for Instagram and Facebook?
I have already tried a few things here, but the uploaded results are sometimes extremely bad, although the source material looks very good.
Greetings
I usually export in 1080p and not too high bit rate
Jan, thanks for another great video. Timely for me since I just got DaVinci Resolve and just starting on the "learning curve".
I'm just beginning to experiment with video on my R5. (Also re-reviewed your 'how to set up R5 for Video' from February). I have a question about actually taking video with the R5: In bright daylight do you use a neutral density filter of any kind? With a shutter speed of 1/60 or 1/120 I find that the "zebras" are on in force no matter how stopped-down the lens is. How do you keep from 'blowing out' the video in bright light?
at times I just have to up the shutter speed. I don't use filters on my big glass. On smaller lens I'd use an ND filter
@@jan_wegener Thanks!!
Hi Jan, do you now use c-log3 when shooting video? I’m completely confused about what the “right” setting is to use.
I am
Hello Jan
It's like you exactly know what I need in terms of video editing Maybe there/s somebody else having a color mismatch while editing and rendered video. Differences are subtle but noticeable, could you point to the setting needed to fix this? In the project settings timeline color space is set to REC 709 Gamma 2.4 Thanks
are you editing on a MacBook?
@@jan_wegener Nope, windows user, photoshop and LR display colors correctly, even printed images look good color-wise
Thank you so much for this, Jan! I’ve only dabbled with editing my R5 clips in Davinci and was immediately overwhelmed. My clips came out looking terrible. Choppy with lots of fringing and artificial looking colors. I’m excited to give them another shot while trying to keep things a bit more simple. I also had a lot of issues loading my short clips into resolve. I was just left with a black screen and had to use another program to save them out in a different format. Lots to learn and figure out but this is very inspiring. So many great, useful tips here.
One question, I may have missed it in this video, but do you adjust or apply any settings early on to have the log color profiles recognized correctly out of camera?
If you film in Clog only the studio version of resolve will play them. The basic free version does not support H .265 codec
@@jan_wegener There is a way around this. I use Shutter Encoder (free) to convert my clog3 footage from .mp4 to DNxHR. Then free Davinci opens the clog3 clips for grading.
@@terrydanks good point!
Love your channel and thank you for the tips. I am trying to edit 8k raw from r5 in Davinci Resolve Studio for my nature and birding video. I pretty much follow all the steps you mentioned here but it keeps on crashing and no success. Do you have any suggestions? My pc is about 2 years old and may be I should upgrade to Mac Studio Ultra.
It's possible that your PC might not be able to handle the load. Did you generate optimized media?
@@jan_wegener Thank you for your answer. Yes, I always use generate optimized media and it only works for 4k video.
@@bijayghising2648 Set your time line resolution to quarter it will look not as nice, but should definitely play then
A huge thanks for this and it's now bookmarked. I've tried again and again to learn video editing, but have been rapidly overwhelmed with tutorials overloaded with information and processes, I'm just not interested in.
Thanks! Yes, I tried to keep it very streamlined.
@@jan_wegener - You did it brilliantly. It gives me all I need to get to grips with video, without having to fully emerse myself in video editing generally, which I haven't get the time or aptitude for.
Thanks Jan for this helpful Video , I would support you on a course on video editing if you was to do one like your photo video which I found very helpful, I highly recommend to all viewers.
Thanks!
Hey Jan, mission accomplished in tearing down the fear of video editing !! I still need to cull and edit a lot of stills first, but I will most certainly review this getting started YT when I will start playing with video !
I'm just wondering why your next YT (published March 23) has twice as much viewers while featuring only half the audio (mostly only left side channel has audio 😛) .. at least it proves us mortals even the best can still a mistake ;-)
Well, it seems most people just wanna talk gear :)
@@jan_wegener True, because there's a lot of wannabees who want to claim they know it all without going out and take pictures themselves.
Also, when encountering fellow birders in some nature reserve, you can talk about the local birds (but because it strongly depends on season and location, a YT on such topic gets a hard time finding global appeal) and the gear we're using. And it helps in conversations to be aware what others are using, or seeing some gear can make you wonder whether you'd want/need that gear yourself. And it's easy to regularly scan YT for new updates on a unicorn like the R7.
But in the field, you hardly show a picture you've taken to someone. A cool image could be a few hundred clicks past and hard to find back, and you don't have a PC to show an edited image. So I only sometimes an image on the camera to walkers without gear who stop and wonder what the hell we're shooting when they hardly see a thing with the naked eye.
So to some extend TH-cam is like a pub, and gear is an easy topic to talk about and to search for. But in my book YT's on how to best shoot and edit, and about the passion and joy of aiming for the right shot and then getting right after getting it wrong are much more valuable !!
TH-camrs who only talk about gear, but never show images and how to get them, they really turn me off !
@@WernerBirdNature well said and I agree, have to find a happy medium. That's why I have started doing different shows, which the Bird Photography show featuring more in the field stuff.
@@jan_wegener Yeah, the alternation between the Big Bird show with Glenn and the Early Bird shows in between does work nice. And it's smart expanding your audience by also covering Nikon and Sony!
But on top of those, I'm a bit missing your earlier single shootout videos. Since moving to QLD, your R5 seems to be more shooting YT than hunting birds with the 100-500 or the 600. I'd like to see you more shooting birds I never knew existed ;-) People attracted by the Early bird (gear) news shows might be tempted to next also watch pure bird shows in which you could also show more in depth what magic your PROSETS do ..
The Bird Photography show is a great format to exchange experiences, but each topic is still restricted to around 3 minutes.
@@WernerBirdNature I have not taken many images since coming up since way really, not a great time of the year.
Whats with Canon Recalling the R5C's from the Market ...
I saw another video mention it ....
Only Canon knows
Thanks a lot for this Video. I‘m on Apple side but … Now would l would like to order Finalcut Pro but it doesn’t running by Mojave operating system. Update the Operating System every year is no option for me about the trouble with drivers for my hardware, specific Aperture is not running higher as by Mojave, the fastest picture database still today. Is Davinci Resolve running still under Mojave? Today I’m using iMovie & Wondershare Filmora, but I’m not happy with it. Stabilize each clip manually to activate it, is not state of the art, no batch mode like by iMovie.
I am not sure, but I assume Davinci might run, you can always just test the free trial
Another tour de force
"Whether we like it or not, video (bla bla) is becoming more and more important". Well, if we don't like it it, no problem: Fortunately we can just leave it alone!
I personally love video, but I'm not terribly good at it, so thanks for this tutorial!
It seems to me that the in the clip of the bird calling, the audio is out of synchronisation. I don't know how far you were from the bird as you recorded this, but if you were at a fair distance using a telephoto lens and using an on (or in) camera mic, the sound would have taken much longer to reach your microphone than the image would have taken to reach your sensor, so that might explain the audio latency. So maybe you could have corrected this in the editing process.
Interesting, Yes, I can slide the sound over a bit
Unless something has changed in the last couple of months, it should be noted that the free version of DaVinci resolve does not support c-log videos from the r5. You need to buy the full version for that. I've been thinking about buying it but I really just want to try it first. =/
That is correct
I was going a bit crazy with my c-log files not loading to Resolve, unlike the ease with which Jan exported his files. After a couple of hours of searching around, I finally came to realize the free version of Resolve can't handle these files and my 4-yr old laptop doesn't have sufficient oomph anyway. Wish cautions had been offered up front, but still, Jan's video has made life much easier for getting started with basic video editing. $oon I'll be upgrading my hardware and buying the Studio version of Resolve.
How powerful is a computer required to edit video and images from 5R video 8K / 4K / photos 45 mb?
the faster the better. An depending on the program a good GPU will help, too
Canon Log video shot in 4k does not work in the Free Version of Da Vinci Resolve.
correct
I can not get my Canon clog files to show up in Davinci Resolve...I have tried dragging them in and opening them through the menu.I am on a Windows 10 machine and shooting with a Canon R5.Does anybody have any thought what might be happening? Done some seaching and have not come up with anything...Please help.
They will only show on the paid version. Free doesn’t support H.265 unfortunately
@@jan_wegener Thank you very much...been trying to figure it out for two days. I have been shooting stills for year, just starting to dip my toes in the video of things.
