hi today is super exciting and also the worst day to have a lost voice oh how am I gonna do this I
have Defenders I'm getting a super early look at DaVinci Resolve for the iPad and so I wanted
to share my initial thoughts with you guys and I also posted on my social media asking if you
guys had any questions you wanted me to answer so make sure you go follow me on Instagram Twitter
and all those various places does that help at all nope all right cool this video's got
a little inceptiony to it if I just filmed a video where I went through all the initial features and
discoveries that I made while first using DaVinci Resolve the whole point is to make the whole video
on the iPad and so before we get into answering your guys's questions and running through all
the features I want to take that video I just filmed and start the project and kind of show
you what it looks like to begin and edit on here so I filmed it on my pocket 6K which is hooked up
to T5 drive so it's directly on here so I'm going to open up to finish resolve for the iPad creating
a project is just like on the desktop DCI and now we're going to import our media it's automatically
going to use the files app you also can use the photos app if I right click using the trackpad
or if you don't have a trackpad using the pencil or your finger you right click by long pressing
and you'll see an option for import to photos as well but I'm going to use here I'm going
to go to the drive b-raw file for the first time ever I can import b-roll files onto the
my iPad that's awesome of course I want to cut it down from here and before I start cutting I
always color grade the one long clip first thing I'm going to do is actually scale to fit it's so
nice to have the muscle memory of being on the computer and it just instantly translate to the
iPad version when I use apps like lumafusion I'm always like oh where is this button again
because you know you're using multiple programs it just feels like I'm using resolve now that
that's skill to fit when I'm here bring up my nodes shortcuts all work the same and just go
through and make a couple Corrections it's on and off you can see before and after I'm happy with
it I will go back to the cup page I still hate the cut page because the waveforms aren't very
big and everyone always tells me like oh just turn on this thing which basically when you are cutting
it will bring big waveforms up so if I make a cut there and start dragging it will do this that
doesn't help me I want to be able to go through see big waveforms be like cut here cut here so
now to make my life even easier I have the speed editor hooked up that's right I also have my iPad
footage that I'm syncing and this time actually from photos I'm going to add that in add it on top
beautifully synced up the speed editor wirelessly like there's essentially zero latency it is so
incredibly smooth I absolutely I've always loved this thing using it on the computer it has a
standalone device for resolve on the iPad I'm not gonna say it's a necessity but you will definitely
become a faster editor using something like this the only Annoying part with uh on the cut page is
since I can't link them together when I go to make a cut I hit split thankfully it splits both Clips
but then to your rid of this I have to select both and do this now with my finger it's actually
really nice because with the mouse it would take like two or three fingers in a couple seconds to
do it this is actually super fast to just swipe down with my finger it's a little Annoying if you
have two clips that need to remain in synced like this I probably should learn the proper way to use
the sink pins and multi-cam stuff anyways that's how I'm setting up this project let's jump into
the details of my first impressions for resolve how many of you out there use your Mac to record
video like I am on my basic webcam right now maybe you do podcasts maybe you do a bunch of Zoom call
meetings maybe you record tutorials we've got a couple problems one if you want to make your
production look really good you got to add a lot of cameras different angles top down side
maybe something more professional than a webcam kind of like like this like this and I know what
you're thinking I don't know what you're thinking Michael you have a very expensive switcher right
right here or you're using these big interfaces nope I am simply using the detail app which as
you can see is a super simple interface where you can set up multiple different cameras and screens
and utilize all the existing equipment you have whether that is a you know mirrorless or cinema
camera or something like your phone which is going to be a much higher quality camera than what is
built into your webcam we got the iPad as kind of a cool behind the scene shot and you have so many
different options for how you can set up combo scenes and since any iOS device can be connected
through the detail app it's super fast to set up and as you can see on our live timeline right here
you can see the video being edited together so say goodbye to hours and hours of going back and
cutting podcasts together and there are so many more brand new features that just came out so
definitely check the link out in the description below download detail completely for free and see
how you can step up your videos today huge thanks to detail for sponsoring today's video let's get
back to it but we can confirm that it will be free to download and then if you want the studio
features it'll be 95 US Dollars which if you understand the studio features is 100 worth it
every time I've launched the app it actually opens to the previous project that I was working on
which is unlike the computer where it takes you to the home page first every time you launch to get
back to the home screen to make a new project or switch projects you just hit the home button and
because I've logged in with my Blackmagic Cloud login I can see all of my projects that I have on
my full computer which is just really cool now I'm actually going to open up my project I worked with
Kevin the tech ninja I'm starting a new creative Series where I travel around to different creators
interview them and stuff it's super fun make sure you get subscribed if it sounds cool now all this
is a little jarring to me because I don't use the cut page on Fallen I like the edit page so this
will be be kind of a fun experiment of course the first thing we need to do is link the media
because of course black magic Cloud syncs all of your projects but it doesn't sync the actual raw
files so I put all the raw files on this Nifty little SSD here and then we have the re-linking
button here at the top where it's going to show us where all of our stuff is from and I just have
to relocate the drive and point it to the folder where all this stuff should be and so I guess I
grabbed all the files except for music and sound effects but that's fine for our purposes here now
kind of as we expected based on the screenshots and rumors pretty much all the features seem to
be here to point out a couple questions I got on a YouTube short does editing with a pencil speed
up sort of slow down your workflow the pencil is definitely a nice touch to have what I find
myself doing and I've used this in basically every editing app as I use a mix between the
two where I especially like it is if I go into the color page I primarily will just use the pencil
because it feels way more accurate for adjustments than using the mouse in trackpad Joe Alias uh can
you keyframe ease in when zooming in position changing also do title presets change in the
iPad let's go to one of our Clips here I'm just going to choose the one of me now I don't know
if you use resolve you actually don't really need to keyframe too much if I open up the inspector
we can see that we basically have our full-leg inspector from the desktop version and so Dynamic
Zoom is one of the best features of resolve I can tap to bring up options and what this is going to
automatically do is I can zoom out I can swap it if I wanted to zoom in and if you want it
to ease in these out or both you can do that as well Dynamic Zoom is incredible and you can even
do your custom changes within that so now I'll zoom out from that so yes you can Dynamic Zoom
like that but you also do have traditional keyframing as well beginning of the clip or
whatever and I can hit the keyframe button that's still there go to the end and maybe zoom in so
you can do manual keyframes as well but Dynamic Zoom is a way better experience title presets
is definitely an interesting one so here are a couple titles that I have now I can press play
and we can say that the titles look the exact same way they do on the desktop version but where
we run into issues is when you have imported like third-party presets I use motion VFX all the time
their presets are incredible but obviously at least as of yet they don't have an iPad version
motion VFX if you can create a iPad integration uh that would be incredible when I go to play them
that it's just black so it's not a huge deal it doesn't break the project or anything which is
nice I basically just have to know that hey if I want to make any changes to these I have to go to
the desktop version editor Michael need to step in in the video I talked about how you can import
custom Luts or titles or presets for anything because I couldn't find any option within the
resolve app it seems when you install the app on the on my iPad section in the files basically like
finder you have a DaVinci Resolve folder and we go into that we can see all the folders that normally
get created with resolve so you can put let's in here and potentially some title templates might
work in here I gotta test things out so that'll be in my full review but it does look like you
are able to import some presets I'm genuinely impressed by the performance of everything these
are 6K b-raw files from my Blackmagic uh we are running a 4K timeline and everything is playing
back with 100 you know color grades and everything turned on and play back this whole montage
without a glitching whatsoever the only time that I see a performance issue is if I jump
onto the color page here and let me turn on my Clips if I go to add noise reduction then we're
gonna definitely run into at least M1 I would be very curious to see how it runs on an M2 they've
also done a lot of really smart uh ways to hide a really complex interface on smaller screens so
to get to noise reduction for example and see an arrow in the bottom right hand corner of my
camera raw settings I will get the extra menu items that aren't featured on the main toolbar
we go to motion movie effects the noise right here that's usually the amount that I'll add
for something that needs it you can see it was playing back in around 19 frames so just under
real time it's honestly impressive considering those are not proxies this are you know accessing
the full pre-raw files even my 10 000 Mac Pro has issues running uh or playing back full 4K
with noise reduction and color grades on top it shows you the true power of optimization that both
Blackmagic and apple have put into this honestly that's playing back like really good but of course
you have quick ways to uh get better playback if you need to if you have a lot of Clips with
noise reduction or heavy effects on them simply just turn off those effects within a tap uh and
now you can go around cutting and moving Clips around without lagging or anything like that
turn it back on when you want to see it you can even go full screen you can also easily change
your timeline resolution if you're running into real issues right next to the effects on and off
you can essentially go from 4K to like a 1080p timeline and now even with noise reduction it
plays back just fine Well you certainly can work with proxies on here I haven't found a way to
generate proxies or optimize media so you'd have to create those on the desktop version move them
on to a drive to edit off of if that's what you want to do for media all your bins are organized
in the same way that they always are but they're in this little like bin drop down menu it does
seem we are missing any sort of power bins so if you have a lot of presets that you have saved in
your database that is nice to sync to all your different projects it doesn't seem we have any
power bins from here and same thing goes with oh no we do so on the color Bridge it seems we have
our power grades which is really nice these are basically like not Luts but you know for
non-davidy resolve people it's the equivalent of like having project Luts that get synced to
all of your projects as expected you can hide uh you know whatever you're currently not working
on which is really nice on the cut page uh you know your inspector is hidden by default fault
if I turn off titles I get a nice big viewer and down here is where I can make all of my
cuts happen and of course the export options is exactly what I made in my prediction rumor
video where it's basically the full quick export and you can just choose what Kodak or format you
want it to go to over the coming days I want to see exactly where this fits into the workflow
now as the title and thumbnail suggested I'm making this entire video on the iPad so again
if you have any questions leave them down in the comments and I'll make sure to answer them in my
next iPad video I appreciate you suffering through this video with me with my terrible voice super
stoked that resolve is here for the iPad thanks for watching I'll see you guys in the next one
