if you make multiple clips into a compound clip you can retime them as one. you do lose the ability to do anything else as individual clips though.
the multi picture thing is because of something some people do where they break a sequence down to individual frames (i don't know why) so when you bring in files with numbered names it assumes you want them merged back together. renaming the file to not have sequential numbers should fix it. this one plagues me from time to time and it is annoying.
AlexTech just made a whole video referencing your video and addressing many issues from your list. Check it out.
I thought it was normal to have to do all that extra work. Thank you for showing us that we are NOT alone in our journey to do more than we need to. Please do more like this my good man
As for bringing multiple images simultaneously, if they are named in sequence, by default they will stay in sequence, and you can change this by going to Media Page, Media Storage Window, Top right-hand corner three dots (...) options menu -> Change the Frame Display Mode to individual. Hope this helps.
Or rename the files.
It took me a while to fix this. The worst part is when I'm importing image sequence resolve imports it as multiple images. And when I'm trying to import multiple images it imports them as an image sequence. Why are you doing this to me resolve!? Did I ever hurt you?
Having been involved in software testing 35 years ago one thing is for sure the best testers are the ones who know what the software is supposed to do and also that there are so many possible scenarios involved that its impossible to test them all, the key is having the developer smart enough to understand the cause and affect a cure . I’ve seen the great companies, RTI in Auckland you know who I’m talking about, and the crap name withheld in Wellington to really understand the difference . If D/Resolve was smart and I’m assuming they are given the massive resources of their competitors that they will have the smarts to listen and respond to genuine problems identified by skilled end users. Love your work man :)
7:25 I literally can't stop laughing at this one 😂😂🤣
You can change the speed for multiple clips on the timeline. After adjusting one clip, copy the attributes, and select the rest of the clips and paste attributes. The retime settings are at the bottom of the pop up window, and you can set it to ripple the sequence.
For pasting multiple transitions, there's two ways to go about this. One is to set your default transition, then select the clips and add to selected edit points and clips. The other way, if you don't wan to set the default transition, is to first add the transition you want to a clip. Next, select that transition and copy it. Then, select the Trim Edit Mode (T if you're on the default shortcuts), and select the clips you want to have the transitions by clicking and dragging. In the Trim Edit mode, it'll select the in and out points of the clips you select. Then paste, and the transition will be added to all the selected points.
If you want further control of your transform, you can add another transform tool. It's found in the Effects panel, under Open FX, Resolve FX Transform. It's a bit silly to add another transform tool to continue your position, but it's a workaround!
Tomorrow dude, I shall do my best to give you workarounds for as many as I can via the power of video! Can't do them all but there's a few I can help with :)
Yes, and most of the issues if not eeh resolved are at least more of non issues now.
This guy is an addiction, i dont blink when i watch your chanel, must be an alien
If you highlight all your slowmo clips in the media pool before you drag them to the timeline then right click and select Clip attributes you can change all the clips speed in one shot.
That changes the clips ubiquitously, which is generally not great. A better "Timeline" specific method is to change the first clip to the speed you want (40% in this example), copy the clip (CTRL-C), then select all the other clips you want to change the speed of, and "Paste Attributes". Check the retime box, and all the clips's speeds are changed in one go.
Your sass is what keeps me coming back. And like, you're not wrong.
I love these Resolve videos
for adding multiple transitions at once, just select the edits , then select with right click the transition you want to apply and choose -> Add to selected Edit points and Clips !
Also, you can speed up multiple clips, by first select them and make them a compound clip, then apply the desired speed !
For your problem with keyframing, i dont have this one on my davinci 18 beta 2.
If you want to move multiple clips Up or Down, just select them and press ALT + UP or DOWN
If you want to import multiple images NOT as one, just rename them , not in an alphanumerical order !
This ^
1. I don't see an option to add transitions by right clicking multiple clips.
2. That's not going to help me, I want each clip separate for easier editing.
3. It's a bug that shows up sometimes.
4. Awkward, but that might be useful, thanks.
5. So Davinci will combine photos that are named with numbers? WHY?! lol.
@@cameraconspiracies he said right click transition, not multiple clips selected.
@@cameraconspiracies cause graphics artist use to export sequences of images instead of avid or movies files .
@@sunlit777 Right clicking on the transition in the effects menu doesn't do anything.
"Copy", select all the other sequences you want to change the speed on, "Paste Attributes", select "Retime Effects" only, job done. You can thank me later.
YES. Thank you! lol.
Or, after import, select all, right click -> clip attributes -> 24p. All your 60p footage will be at 40%, and your regular footage won’t be changed. You can thank me now.
@@gingerstuey Just tried that, and it doesn't change the audio, the audio just goes dead after 40% of the clip is played lol. If I don't plan on using the audio though, it would work, thanks.
There is an easier way. Before dragging the 60 for clip onto the timeline, select t all those clips than right click and there is an option to change the framerate directly. Boom. Done. No need to reasses them in the timeline nor copy/paste attributes.
Plus it,s faster.
Hey man , i like your style of this video you have made . your dialogue and how you open the discussion on your channel ( without claiming to be Mr KnowITall) is awesome . Thanks and please keep doing this!!! ............Much respect
Just found out the reason for these issues is not between my ears, it's DaVinci. Thanks for pointing out.
if you drop multiple pictures into your timeline, it wants to animate them, like dropping a timelapse of stills as a video. if you drop them into your sidebar gallery instead, they are imported as individual pictures.
Yes, extra step as usual lol.
The three dots in the corner of your media pool has an option to bring images as sequence, individual, or auto. Auto is pretty good but sometimes it forces Jpegs to be a image sequence.
you can change speed for multiple files in the bin before you drop them on timeline.
But you can't tell which are 4k 60p or HD 240p in there...
@@cameraconspiracies you can... you can sort them by any criteria you want, and select multiple clips of the same attribute.
@@toxotis70 Someone posted a much better solution already, just copy attributes.
01:33 on the media tab, go to three dot and click on it, on the top, click " Frame display mode " and chose what ever you want. auto, individual or sequence, other option on the edit tab, click on sort icon on the top looks like downward arrow , click on it and choose clip name
Thanks, that should fix it. I was in date created, which technically should still work but wasn't.
To change speed on clips just select all the frame rates that are the same in media pool. Right click on them, go down to clip attributes in the drop down menu, change frame rate to 23.976 or whatever your timeline frame rate is and they will all play at that frame rate. Easy 👌
The one thing that makes my brain hurt is the Retime Curve. Every time I am creating an EPIC CINEMATIC B-ROLL in Peter Lindgren / Daniel Schiffer style and I want to adjust the speed ramps, I have to switch from "Retime Frame" to "Retime Speed". WHY?!?!? Who uses "Retime Frame", ever?
It's the Universe telling you please stop polluting the world with more "cinematic" b roll.
I have to say. I tried working with Resolve three different times over the last few years and I found it incredibly difficult to use. However in 2021 and 2022 I got back into it and have have been blown away by it. I come from Adobe and FCP (Using professionally for years) and now I have a new sense of enjoyment from editing because of Resolve. A big shout out to TH-cam mentors like Chadwick from Creative Video Tips, Darren Mostyn, Waqas Qazi, Casey Faris, Patrick Stirling, Billy Rybka and Learn Color Grading who make it fun to get into the software and see how powerful it really is. Yes it's a bit daunting to start with but once you get into properly it does so much.
Like everything in life. Some have a steaper learning curve and some Don,t. But I love DR. I wouldn't wanna go back. And I am an avid media composer user. Sorry. Have been. Never will I touch that software again.
This has been the only editor I have used. I don't get the appeal of Adobe, but that seems to be changing. I've tinkered with Davinci over the years, but it was finally this year I dove in deep. Learning curve is steep for sure, but so worth it once you get the hang of it. I'm amazed at how powerful it is. Eventually they will get my $300. Likely the end of the year when some funds free up. Good thing you're on board.
that jumping when dragging is very annoying,lol...i tought it was only me since i am quite new to da vinci
I'm cracking up watching this because I love Resolve but have experienced all of this. 😂
God, I thought it was me. I've experienced all these problems.
Man...I was trying to learn this program and am forced now to render whole sections before closing the program down. I always lose clips in video and audio every time I save. Then lose files when trying to move them in the timelines. I'm now rendering the same 20 minute timelines just to preserve the newly
added files .
da Vinci should hire you, no doubt about that 😁. Less incredible magic tricks and more usability accuracy for the daily stuff that we do 95% of our time and slow us down. Great video as usual
I have realized after rendering that clips were missing from my timeline and realized some of the issues you mentioned here as well. I am also getting an issue now where most of my video files don't show audio waveform in the timeline and I do a lot of my editing based on that, so I went back to Premiere (crash city) for now since I don't feel like constantly re-encoding my videos before editing amongst the other issues I began having with Resolve. I thought it was just a codec issue but can't seem to find the info out on exactly why this isn't "resolved" by now... With all that said, I do really love resolve and I will probably go back to using it once these issues are addressed.
Have you expanded your audio tracks and clicked on the audio waveform icon in the top left of your timeline. It’s a rectangular icon that you can click on and it gives you a drop down menu for your video and audio track options.
What the above person said and also if they’re long clips audio will take awhile to show waveform so you have to let it sit a bit and then when you come back they will be generated.
@@RiceCake-ep9gu I think the waveform is off by default.
What others didn't mention is that there might be a cache issue. Delete all cache for the project and restart DaVinci. In the worst case you will have to dive to the cache folder inside your system and delete all files. This will 99% fix your issue.
Fun fact, if you want to know whether Resolve is still processing your audio (apparently it playing isn't enough), opening Task Manager will show you Resolve just SLAMMING on that disk. For me, sometimes all I need to do is have the project open and wait a couple of minutes. If that doesn't work, the alternative would be to split your clip into bits and then trick Resolve into processing it by turning them into compound clips (you can select sole audio).
I think your files out of order issue can be fixed by hitting one of the arrow drop downs at the top right of the bin and changing what it's sorting by.
This video is comedic gold mostly because I suffered with some of the same problems. Working with text in Davinci is also a nightmare. Have to laugh off the pain, am I right?
I am not 100% sure, but lowering objects within the frame has something to do with anchoring point of the object. I guess it cannot be anchored OUTSIDE the frame. If it is anchored in the middle you can hide up to half its height. But maybe you can set anchor point in the uper corner of the object.
Huh.... Good point there. Could be the solution.👍
For audio being a frame off from video, may be related to something I encountered. Lets say you have 20 clips next to each other and you want to render each one in Deliver separately. I found that if you magnetic selector to beginning of the video clip and hit "I" (input), it's fine. Magnetic select the end of the clip (between two video clips), it defaults to going to one frame after the end of the clip you want to highlight. So if you then pressed "O" (output), the last frame would be the first frame of the next clip. You have to left arrow once and then hit "O". On a deep internet dive many were saying that this is always the normal operation for editing programs. This behavior is the same on Edit and Deliver tabs. BUT, the audio editing in Fairlight never defaults to that (I think). It will not select one frame into the next audio track.
From a forum: "There are two types of out points. Inclusive: This out point is what is being used in pretty much every NLE. With an inclusive out you mark your out point to the frame you want to include in the selection. So if you go to the next edit point and set an out you're getting a single frame of the next clip. Exclusive: This out point is marked at the cut. This kind of out point is pretty rare but it is available as a setting in some programs like Autodesk Smoke/Flame, Quantel iQ, DVS Clipster and such."
As far as I know, DR doesn't yet offer an option to select Exclusive out points. I know there are some auto audio align features, but I've never tried them.
The multi image can be brought in separately through the media page. There is a setting you have to check in the drop down menu on the viewer, forget what it’s called, but it will bring in the images as single individual clips rather than all in one. They do this because you can actually have video that’s made with image files. Like a tiff sequence for instance.
I did not have any of these problems until you brought them up. Thank you. lol.
Man I’m cracking up at the commentary. 😂😂😂
Yes, this software drives me nuts.
- You cannot apply glow effect on text+ in the edit page
- somehow some text with colors has a blending mode on while beeing on "normal" blend
- Glow effects in fusion get lost in the edit page
and many more issues..
this is the reason I keep comming back to premiere for FAST workflow. Problem is, that you need so many clicks for simple things in davinci.
Thank you Davinci for letting us use FREE version of your amazing software!
Change speed on one clip. Command c - option v to paste that onto all the other clips.
The problem with the incorrect order often appear at Windows. If you want to upload file1 to file5 somewhere, all files are uploaded in the correct order except the last one I think. That is very annoying if I want to upload photo to Facebook, attach them to an email or whatever. You can circumvent that by changing the order in which you click the files to upload.
2:15 that shid is so annoying to me too. Same with many of other stuff like that, where i want to change attributes of many clips. Thats so annoying.
3:45 the same, st00pid shid, it annoys me too...
4:30 transitions drive me crazy too. Hahaha seriously and that is my most annoying shid when it comes to resolve. Your video is so accurate!
As a beginner I gave up after few hours, it's just ridiculous. For ex. I tried to edit a very simple video which was basicly to trim a little from the start, middle and end. Then speed up the video. After rendering, the video has parts in it that I cut out. I mean suddenly in the middle of the video there's a part from the end of the source video. In the edit mode everything is okay.
Use alt and arrow keys to move clips up and down rows that tends to help me a lot.
I think you cb change speed by copyband paste attributes.
Or use clip attributes to change speed before adding them to the timeline
I love how you give an honest review instead of a gushing cheerleading review or BS hater review.
Set the transition you like as standart, then select all clips you want and just Ctrl+T
Or select the clips, right-click the transition and press "Add to Selected Edit Points and Clips"
Video guys must enjoy going to the DMV too.
Premiere does the same thing if you drag clips in they aren't in order. Don't know if they ever fix it. Seems weird such a basic task.
I hope they watch this and fix those issues.
Moving clips around in davinci fries my brain cells.
3:26 I thought that was just my system 😐 Fuuuuuck. That's embarrassing. Not even sorry for code shaming now.
Stopped working on my pooter a few months back anyway. Like all together. Didn't do Windows updates, didn't do shit. Didn't Update Davinci, nothing. Had a project that probably got a bit too chonky, crashed, restarted, then it didn't want to open anything ever again. One video file - done.
Tried a fresh install, all the version since 1852.
Nothing. My official theory is that my pooter and Davinci 17.4.6 had an affair, something went sideways and now it's personal.
I feel your pain mate!! Me too - same stuff.
I bet the bad file order is resulting from Davinci’s internal logic reordering the files by number converted into a varchar data type or something like that
Coming from Avid MC my main problem on the edit page is not being able to toggle between timeline and source clip. Wondering why nobody addresses this basic issue. On Avid I can toggle to the source clip, solo monitor an audio channel, set in and out points and route the selected channel to the timeline. In DR I have to delete audio channels in the clip attributes before editing or bring all audio to the timeline and delete then unwanted audio. Or I have to create timelines for my source clips as a workaround with the restriction of copying files to the timeline instead of editing. Being able to toggle to the source clip and routing audio would make editing in DR so much easier. That’s my main issue with DR.
the direct drag & drop to the media pool kinda sucks. They claimed it was improved some months ago but it still has dumb issues. For example if you happen to shoot cDNG for whatever reason then what drag & drop does is that it imports every single frame as a still.
Hence, what I'm doing is that I drag & drop my media folder on the upper file browser in the Media page and then drag & drop the media within DaVinci.
that file order thing is definitely a regression. I noticed it recently too and I don't think it was always like that
I would also highlight the resource hog DaVinci is (at least compared with Pr or AE) and what a nightmare it is to work with keyframes. As with the example you gave about linking, I find Resolve is extremely inconsistent in some aspects and that translates into lack of control, which is the main reason we use a professional NLE, we want to have control.
For that adding Warp transition to everything...
All you need to do is set that transition as your favourite. (click the star beside it). ..then select all the clips you want to apply it to and click "CTRL-T"
I already have cross fade as my favourite for audio.
@@cameraconspiracies yes. you can have one favourite audio, and one favourite video transition.
You might be able to paste attributes to all clips you want slowed down
I still use Vegas Pro. If you come from audio editors like cooledit or reaper you will feel like home in vegas. I did install davinci one time and didn't know how to start, everything is different.
No matter what I try it's a stuttering mess. I like it but I hate it. I have good specs on my pc but no matter what settings I try, it's a dumpster fire.
The multiple clips thing... Dear mother of God. Resolve is such a great free tool, but it's definitely built by engineers unaware of the fact that normal human beings prefer convenience in software tools. Also, how is there still no way to arrange the UI...
Try Vegas Video. Super intuitive.

"There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary"
It's annoying but to move positions further than the max of 8640, I'd turn the image into a compound clip and then you can transform the compound clip and the image within it for twice as much movement
in your files folder it's ordered alphabetically, in the program I'm not sure, maybe by size
1:57 i had same problem with premiere
If files are named 01,02 ... 09, 10,11 they stay in order. If 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, then 10 is first because - windows filenames are sorted by ASCII values
So i saw when you did a ripple delet all the other tracks on top of that one moved how to the rest of the tracks follow with the ripple?
Those problems are still here in 2023 18.6 DaVinci
slow one high speed clip down and then copy and paste those attributes to the rest of them
Yes, try to use the I and O keys on your keyboard to define the active area and be again surprised (not) with the "accuracy". Bitchin' app indeed. But the best still.
When it won’t let you move it down far enough, are you just sliding the bar? I’ve had a similar problem where the bar only slides to a certain point, but I’ve been able to type into the little text box by the bar a higher or lower number and it will go beyond what the bar allows. A bit annoying but it works
Where is that Centennial video??
Slowing down multiple clips is way easier before you put them on the timeline. Just select them in the project manager or whatever that's called, right click, find clip attributes and change from 60 fps to whatever your timeline is (I'm guessing 24 fps). There's also a keyboard shortcut for adding your default transitions on both ends of all selected clips but I don't remember what it was. It can be found in the keyboard customization settings
3:28 Exactly! XD
Number one problem is its interface. It's just almost not configurable, a lot of waste of screen space, especially in dual monitor setup, impossible to setup for efficiency. Version 18.5, 2023 now.
I absolutely love this fucking video!
I've had most of the same problems as you, so it's not you. The disappearing dragged clips thing is very annoying. Inability to adjust multiple clips simultaneously, or paste attributes into more than one clip at a time, also annoying.
The worst is that Resolve 17 Studio just freezes periodically for no apparent reason. I have to "end task" and reopen the app at least a couple of times if I work for over an hour straight. I have to save my project after almost every action or two to ensure I don't lose work. I have 80B of RAM and a high-end Radeon GPU so that's not the problem.
I note that a *lot* of Radeon users (on PCs) have more issues that NVIDIA users. I'm not a fanboi either way but I'd say that if you want the most robust and reliable system then going NVIDIA with Intel CPU is your best option.
@@xjet thanks. The CPU is an Intel Core i7. I'll consider upgrading the GPU. Thanks.
2 seconds in...and no it isn't the best editing program ever. Will still like you post though :) Now into it - good grief, you put up with that?? It is a wonder you put out any content at all - glad you push through it though :)
I left Davici ages ago - one of the best decisions I ever made and have loads more time to take footage that d*ckoing around with that piece of software that comes straight from hell :D
These look like problems with the Windows version of Resolve. Thankfully, I work on a Mac and don't experience these "problems". Your issue with moving clips around a timeline seems to be workable if you expand the timeline view vertically - making the viewport smaller - which would give you more room to place clips above your existing clips. The rest of your issues - not flaws - seem to be your insistence on going against Resolve's workflow. Every program has their own workflow.
davinci has some real issues, mac or pc that are unrelated to workflow. it's so good that users will make due and deal with the workaround. the transform thing is a bit subjective, but certainly not intuitive, not going deep into that more complex subject.
@@CharlieVN Real issues? Like what? If you’re going to make claims, give examples. I’ve been using Resolve since v14.2. I understand it’s workflow. The only issues I have involve using tools I don’t use that often. So, I study the tool and figure out how to use it. Like any other program. Again, give examples of the “real issues”. Don’t just say it.
Also the PNG file is a disaster in Resolve. The export time is like several times more if the timeline has PNG picture files! What’s going on?
Good video… LIKE OUT LOUD 👍🏻
At five minutes where two stills were combining into a clip. That’s because it’s treating them as animation frames. It’s actually a feature because if you render individual frames out of an animation program they typically come in sequential order so da Vinci will automatically convert them into a clip. Thankfully there’s a way to shut it off. I’m away from my computer right now so I couldn’t tell you exactly what that is but Google it it’s not difficult to find.
It kind of helps, but they still combine if you drop them on the timeline.
Haha that “15 layers” up happens to me all the time.
8:04 And we appreciate you.
Is there a fix the the speed of the clips? I always shoot in 50fps always. Is there a similar think to FCP automatic speed
1. Isn't it related to which file's icon you click on while dragging files to the timeline?
All I want is the perfect editor.
When I upload audio files, it mutes the audio when it reads dates or says profanity. Do you know how to stop this?
they wont change things
also the biggest problem is h265 decoding they dont have one but they can encode it and its reserved for their studio version and im thinking to get a alternative editing software that dont suck as much
same with color formats
also davinci resolve refuse to read ogg format and they have no reason to not use it
in top of that No masking on editing page
What portable RGB light would you recommend ?
Thanks for being the guinea pig on migrating to DaVinci, I too have found it frustrating at times. That being said , I have committed to making the switch from Adobe, for the same reasons you have stated.
Sigma FP
Toneh.
The guy i called , i think in UK, said " we do not support the free version " i said : well how can i know this issue does not happen with the studio version ? and he " we cannot guarantee the Studio Version is gonna work " well what does that say ? they dont care ! its like if they say give us your money and shut the F up ! so there is absolute no reason for me to keep on using a software whn it does not work and whn one says to me " we cannot guarantee the Studio version is gonna work " thats a huuge red alert right there so F davinci resolve and helo vegas
Have you tried the audio sync tool? It can sync either from timecode or the audio itself. Pretty annoying tho if it should be already in sync.
I resolve to watch the entire video for the stats.
Thanks for pointing rhese things out. Maybe they will listen to you.
Although in generel its a powerful program it seems to have those weird "Child Illnesses".
E.g. I use Strg and alt as scroll and narrowing the timeline modifiers in Studio One. And I am so used to it. Davinci has them too but flipped... why cant i f**king change these modifier.
Please tell me if there is an option to switch them and I was just too dumb to find it.
Furthermore... I usually use 2 Screens and I woukd even use 3... if davinci would has a freely floating windows configuration possibility.
I usually drag in my clips and position them on the timeline and then??? Why can I not hide that stupid folder box... and use my screenspace for the timeline and monitor window and effects only! The way I want it! Not like davinci wants it. Its so stupid!
PLEASE davinci... Look how Presonus STUDIO ONE is constructed... everything drag and drop and configurable windows! That how it is done.
While I am at it. Please give me a high contrast white with black outlines color theme... and ideally make it freely configurable. When I am not locked in a cellar with almost no light except the monitor... its so hard to see things clearly. Could be changed so easily! Make it configurable.
Sometimes it really feels like they have never cut a video and just construct the program. And also... until i found out they use ripple delete on "del" button and delete on backspace button!!! OMG. It was soooo annoying. Why even change a habit like delete that we are all used to for the last 20 years and is very clear and straightforward "namely just delete" to a weird ripple delete that could in fact be useful, but is not user intuitive.
I sooo much hope they see your video and my comment and change these things... I cant believe I am the only one with these problems.
Because it IS in fact a powerful, amazing program... if there werent these child illnesses...
Thanks,
Peter
I got one that is annoying AF! If there is a way to do this differently “FAST!” let me know DR nerds. If you just want to move a linked audio clip to a lower layer it moves the video track. I hate you too DR! I must unlink move the audio and then relink WTF!
Press alt then select audio to separate it.
Editing... I started as an audio engineer, leaned all I could hands on, & reading manuals. Have you ever tried to read a ROLAND manual? Hell on earth. Took me years to learn all the finesse'. Now with visual editing, I can do it, but I hate it, so I've found an editor, now editing is not such a problem for me. :) ADD: not to mention editing in 4k... the cost of a computer to do that editing with the needed immense computing power. Truly get an editor, they're cheap due our big old world, guaranteed to know more about editing than you do, & they can knock it out quick to order. When you add up the expense of keeping up with advancements; letting someone else go to that expense is worth utilizing. & then there's the expense of time... look at how much time you're wasting, is that time worth money to you? How much?
