Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel. My name is Victor Melchor
and I'm a freelance filmmaker, Today
I'm going to be teaching you how to edit
for beginners in DaVinci Resolve. Alongside Premiere Pro DaVinci.
Resolve is a great editing software
and I think what's really cool about it is that you can actually download a
free version on the Blackmagic design web site.
It doesn't have as many features as the paid version,
but it's more than enough to get your edit done from start to finish.
So yeah, let's get into it. All right. So now that we open up DaVinci Resolve.
We'll just go to new project, will do the same thing and create say,
yeah, it'll take you here. The one thing. Starting out is that
you can't import just one separate folder.
You have to create the bin first. So you'll right,
click go to new bin and then I'll just put BMPCC 4K footage.
So go here, right click import media,
go to bmpcc 4k
and then I'm going to select all of these and if you notice,
it won't let you import the folder. So just got to do that separately,
change the frame rate. And yeah, so now I have all my footage.
So I'm like, I'm actually gonna go to this little tab,
the editing Tab and then again,
whatever I want. My starting point to be press.
I and then whatever I want my endpoint to be,
I'll press O, and if you just want to drag the video clip
because just click the video icon or audio and just drag those separately,
but I want both someone to bring that in. If you press P,
it will actually show you full screen and I want to throw the song in there,
so you can actually change the audio as well by just going right over the audio
clip and you can adjust it, but you can kind of fine-tune it more in the audio Tab.
And again, we'll throw the first b roll clip and then I just want the clip.
I don't want the audio. So bring that there.
I want to add some warp stabilizer because the shot is just a little bit shaky.
So, in video, when I have the clip already selected,
you can just go to stabilization and then stabilize and let's see how it looks.
All right, cool. It looks good for me. And yeah,
I want to add a little title sequence, and they're, all right, here for me.
Let's just add this one right over here. And now,
you'll notice it's buffering a little bit because of the title animation.
So you'll go to playback on the top.
You'll go to timeline proxy mode and go to half or quarter.
It's still a little funky, but it is what it is.
I want to bring more interview footage.
And so I'll drag it in and DaVinci Resolve b and a are the blade in the arrow.
So, yeah. I'll just go to be cut it,
go back to a for the arrow. Delete. I’ll this continually do that
for however many things I want to cut and again to undo,
you'll just click command Z, however, many times you need.
If you want to say crop in, it's all right,
here is zoom in. However, much you want to go back to where it was.
You just click the reset button. Say if you need a
video or audio transition there in the tool box on the left,
and now we will go to this
tab, I believe you can create like different Graphics animations,
which I don't even touch. Eventually. I do want
to learn but I haven't really used this and I've survived this long.
So we'll go to the color Tab and then go to nodes.
Option + S to create another node.
Nodes is the way that DaVinci resolves color grade.
So basically you can add have however, many you need
and you can make whatever micro adjustments you need to make but we'll just do one since again.
I just want to make some minor adjustments.
So now I'll go to color wheels and I usually Add a tad of saturation at add more contrast.
But, yeah, there's so many more tools you can mess around with. But for this clip,
I'll just make some minor Corrections. And again,
you can change the tint, the mid detail highlights and shadows.
You can drop whatever one's you need, as far as color goes,
DaVinci. Resolve doesn't actually have a adjustment layer.
If you do. Want to say batch color grade, a bunch of footage.
Say it's all the same lighting
and everything and you just want to apply that same look that you did for this one separate one.
What you can do actually is
once you make the Colored regiments to that first clip you can just command C to copy
and then command V to paste on all the shots that you want and you're good.
Yeah, I pretty much like how that looks. And if you want to see a before,
and after just go click this little tab right here and it'll show you,
not super major, but this is just the talking footage,
and it looks pretty good already. And yeah.
Audio again, I don't really go too much to audio as long as my stuff is at like peaking too much.
But yeah, that is pretty much it. And again, if you want to make a vertical video,
all you need to do is go to file project settings,
and then you would just simply switch it.
So 1920 by 1080, you do 1080 by 1920 save and now it's in that vertical,
but I don't want it vertical. So we'll just go back to the project settings.
And let's switch it back. And now we'll go to export.
So you'll just click this cute little rocket ship and then you can change your file name.
Go to. Browse select your location.
So I usually like to get it straight to desktop. For quality.
you want to go to restrict to and usually for 4K
I think I do like 45,000. I think this is in 1080.
So I'll just do this, just say 25,000 and then data levels.
You'll want to click full.
So that again you get a higher export quality and I think that's pretty much it.
Click add to render queue and then render all.
Alright, that's it for this video. I just want to say, Thank you for watching.
