Sonata Media: mralextech.net/Sonata I had LOADS of fun doing this 😄 I haven't done a creative task like this in a while so it was great. I only gave myself a few hours to find the music, concept, footage and edit it all together.
Thank you! I really appreciate that. I'm also unsure as to how well paid vids will be received but I do my best to make them interesting and useful still 🙂👍
This was the best tutorial on D Resolve I have ever seen. I love how you explain how something will happen when done wrong, it adds more to the understanding and you are going way too fast like others. You have gotten a subscriber with bell selected. Great work.
This was really useful, a tutorial to build a project using best practices. I find MrAlexTech to be one of my most useful TH-cam subscriptions. I learned a few things in this project that you don't get very often when looking for a solution to the problem at hand. Like, I wouldn't have thought you could download dust like that or make it into such an artistic composite. I didn't know you could set the font for just part of a title. Etc. Following this style of tutorial means I don't have to be in a frenzy for that one solution all the time. Anyway, thanks very much. You're teaching me a lot (like the neon title tracker "Waddup Folks").
I know that I want to make edited gameplay of different story games to make them feel more like TV Shows, specifically so I can share some of the stories that I think they'll like with them without them needing to actually play the games, so I'll definitely be using this advice for those projects whenever I jump into them.
Quick tip: If the footage has audio attached and you don't want it to come down to the timeline, simply click on the A1 label so it no longer has a red border around it. Then any clip you drag to the timeline won't bring the audio, just the video.
or, and i know i'm 2 years late to the party on this, but i just saw this video and consequently your comment, hold alt when dragging your footage from the bin, and it'll only drag the video. hold shift and it'll only drag the audio (make sure to not select multiple things with shift click first, though).
Thanks a lot dude for this great tips...i'm gonna use this and create my own one for my next wedding film intro... So simple and so powerful !!! Take care, bye
Hi Alex, thank you so much for your efforts, your energy, your commitment... and the added value! I’ve learned so much from your videos. Good job. Thank you very much.
Hey, Alex! This was a cracking good vid! I’ve been looking for alternatives to my current royalty-free music sourcing service so I’ll definitely give the Sonata Music trial a go! Thanks, mate.
Thanks Jeff! Glad you enjoyed the vid. Let me know how you get on with the trial 🙂👍 I've been enjoying it (even activity choosing it over Epidemic at the moment!)
Will do @@MrAlexTech! Was having a browse through the library today and there are something interesting tracks in here! I'm looking forward to seeing how they match up to my vids. 😉
That is awesome Alex! I feel very inspired by your project and friendly challenge, i'm giving myself this day to come up with something of my own and put it on youtube. It doesn't mattter if i'm a total beginner cause this will be a lot of fun and a nice project to learn and try new stuff with a concrete goal! See you later!
For music, it's tough to beat Unminus. Sounds similar to Sonata. Not a ton of selection but super high quality, and totally free with no licensing restrictions.
Alex, this was a fun and interesting bit. I keep coming back to it and wishing you might continue the thinking forward to a more complex intro. I've been looking at some of the most strange and interesting one's like from: Dexter, Doom Patrol, True Detective, Jessica Jones, True Blood, Stephen Moffitt's "Sherlock" and Justified. They all have somber to grotesque qualities that pull one in. It would really be cool if you could go into depth on how to create some of these sequences.
OMG, I think you just saved me loads of work! I never knew you could edit just part of a regular Text object like that - wow! Thanks Alex! Also, how are you doing? [I saw someone else harp on the rest of us that say thanks but don't ask how you're doing...] I hope you're well! I hope the power stays on at your place [yes, I saw that post somewhere on social media the other day]
@@MrAlexTech Yeah, I'm doing well ... learning new Resolve things all the time, thanks to you... and I absolutely LOVE the transitions pack you put out a month or so ago, I've used it in several of my latest videos [which will be published in the coming month] - the Whip and Zoom are my favorites, but I used the Spin one too a few times. Right now I'm working on a Dr. Strange "portal" transition ... it's drag & drop now, but I can't seem to get it to stretch with the transition, if that makes sense... it's stuck at 30fps [I pre-rendered the portal itself, and it's 30 images] ... it's a work in progress so I'm not sharing yet but it's pretty neat and works with my 30fps timelines. I can "ride through" a Dr. Strange portal now!
You make it all so easy! Thanks for your clarity and concision. Could you give us a description of your hardware? It seems like you rarely encounter common Resolve error messages like "GPU Memory full".
Sure thing! I do occasionally get the error when doing lots in Fusion but not all that often. My PC isn't even all that special these days, its: Ryzen 5 3600 RTX2060 6gb 32gb DDR4 RAM Plus a bunch of SSDs
Hello thank you for this really great tutorial. if I try to recreate this effect then it start to flickers in my video. can you tell me a solution please . Thank-you
Yeaaah I know 😆. The battery died on my Rode mic so it was on my desk (charging) in front of my rather than attached to my top. I'm in the process of sorting a better mic solution for my to camera section which should sort out these sort of issues in the future 🙂👍
Can you please help me. In Davinci Resolve when I use Text+ and make a sentence write out in an animation, sometimes on one key frame the whole sentence dissapears or if I use a stoke on the text, the stroke either dissapears or change colour to the default red. I need to know how to fix this please so I don't have to delete the text and start again.
@@MrAlexTech That's rather annoying haha. I mean I get it but at the same time every single one of those effects does it, don't include it if it can't be used sorta deal.
I really appreciated the video, but the thing that always gets me is. Why do people do the tutorials liek we are listening to a podcast and have to describe what we are already looking at. If you just do it, we can simply follow as you click and just say why you do something, not describing what we are looking at. A good example of this is at 8:38 - 8:50 What you start to say from 8:50 does help to explain the why, but the description before was unnecessary and it is just more information the viewer have to listen to and figure out if they can ignore it. I have watched thousands of hours of tutorials over the last 20 years, and I notice more and more that people are describing to much of what we are looking at. And at times the explanation is also filled with basic user stuff that even grand ma would know, like say to copy paste click ctrl + c or command + c for the mac. We are a society so far forward with computers that many things are not nessecary any more. Even grandma had instagram. Hope this help to make your tutorials better.
The problem is you're assuming the level of the viewer and presuming they're at your own level. It's the worst mistake anyone teaching can make, in my opinion. While it may seem odd to us higher level users, there are many people that don't know the keyboard shortcuts etc. If I aim at a relatively low base level, anyone can follow it. Higher level users can skip to the bits they care about but all the information is there, so even absolutely beginners can follow along. I get dozens of comments everyday thanking me for including the keyboard shortcuts, not skipping the basic details, explaining this etc etc. Some users don't watch much, and prefer to listen and follow along. Others watch it all and then try to reproduce. People learn in different ways. Also I guarantee that if I didn't explain what I was doing while I was doing it (like right clicking to add the alpha output for example) some wouldn't be able to follow along. This is from experience where I've missed bits in the past.
This is the only DaVinci teaching channel I'll religiously watch and it because Alex is great at explaining the whole process. Top work, please keep doing as you are.

"Includes Paid Content" - I've never been so happy to see that about a TH-cam video. Congrats Alex, you've earned it brother, you've earned it.
Thank you! I really appreciate that. I'm also unsure as to how well paid vids will be received but I do my best to make them interesting and useful still 🙂👍
What I enjoy about your videos is I come away saying, “I can do that.” Thank you. Can’t wait try this.
You can def do this! 🙂👍
I'm gonna have to make a pot of coffee for all the goodies you share with us. Great techniques and resources. Thanks a million.
This was the best tutorial on D Resolve I have ever seen. I love how you explain how something will happen when done wrong, it adds more to the understanding and you are going way too fast like others. You have gotten a subscriber with bell selected. Great work.

Another great video Alex. I've lent more from your videos than any other channel.
Simple but great tips for the people that follow you and are not as proficient editing as you. Thank-you
Thank you :)

Wow Alex, that 'Alt' backspace for deleting attached audio tracks will save me so much time. Thank you for that tip.
Beautifully explained for a new user. And the intro you made is just amazing 👍
That font tip is wonderful to know!
Fantastic stuff mate! Thanks for the tips and tricks!

Sadge
Haha thank you dude. I am good 😊😊
@@MrAlexTech Haha that's good to hear mate :)
Earned a sub with this one
Thanks fantastic tutorial
You, sir, are *brilliant* . Awww new sub here! 💋 🌹
That's amazing, I am a total noob but I am going to give it a shoot as soon as this COVID does one.
Buy Me A Coffee????? You need a beer (or in my case - RUM!) for that!! Brilliant!
Haha thanks Chris! I'm a beer guy but I do like a good spiced rum too 😁

@Alex Now I need this see this movie that you made the intro for! Better produce it now! :D
Awesome!!!
Hi Alex, thx for this Great Video, ist helps a lot. Hope you are doing Fine in These dass.
very nice 👍
Very helpful
Excellent 👍 👌..
Thanks man
I see the Lego 911 RSR on the shelf....you a sportscar racing fan?
I'm a lego and a car fan mainly but enjoy a little motorsport too! 😄
Do you have to continue paying every month for the subscription and still use the music on youTube without getting a copyright slam?
Hello thank you for this really great tutorial.
if I try to recreate this effect then it start to flickers in my video.
can you tell me a solution please . Thank-you
I get the same flicker of colour when I try to follow your instructions Alex any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated.
Hi, Awesome video, I did make my own, but when I post it here the comment disappears and I don't know why?
Ahh there's auto hide for links, I'll be able to find it though so I'll have a look 🙂👍
@@MrAlexTech awesome, my son wants to expand it to a full movie...
Great
Hey Alex, love your toots. Whut the heck is with your on-camera audio in this one?
Yeaaah I know 😆. The battery died on my Rode mic so it was on my desk (charging) in front of my rather than attached to my top. I'm in the process of sorting a better mic solution for my to camera section which should sort out these sort of issues in the future 🙂👍

I like how the same particles were in every scene, even in space lol
Damn particles get everywhere! 😆
Hi: unrelated question. Can I use the Davinci speed editor along with the Davinci Micro panel ? Is that possible and would it be a good combination ?
Is it necessary to learn nodes? It's nightmare for me
👍
What fonts do you recommend?
please start review series
What sort of reviews would you like to see?
@@MrAlexTech like action movie or tv show ,anything ,you can ask you viewers
All of the equipment links I tried lead to unavailable products.
Ah thanks for spotting, i'll update my links!
@@MrAlexTech You're welcome.
Teach us more
Can you do this with free version though?
Yup, everything shown is available in free version.
@@MrAlexTech okay thanks, I just started playing with effects but getting an error code
