so you just got the Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Speed editor maybe it's on pre-order or
you're thinking about it but you need to realize you need to rethink how you mark and use your
favorite shots so today what i'm going to do is i'm going to show you three different ways
how you can break down your project and use just your selects using the speed editor let's dive in
so here we are in the cut page of davinci resolve 17 and i'm going to pull up source
by hitting source it's actually pulling up source tape which is this icon right here
and it's pulling up every single clip that's in my project all at once so i can use the search dial
and scroll through and try to find that specific shot now you can even narrow this down further
it's almost like you have multiple source tapes if you look at your bins so if you take a look in
the upper left here we can say i want to only see broncos shots so by doing that we can see
over here in my source tape i am only looking i've sort of restricted my search to just those and if
i wanted to look at just sign store shots that has restricted it to that as well so basically what
this is doing is it's giving you multiple source tapes per project based off of your bin structure
and you don't have to make extra timelines or string outs for it welcome i'm chadwick and i want
to let you know in the description box down below i have time stamps chapter markers they're there
for you use them it's so you don't have to waste time looking at stuff that you already know about
and you can get right back to the work you're doing and also if you're new editor i want to let
you know the reason this video exists to begin with you know about making selects is so that
we're only looking at the bad parts of a shot one single time it's when you're making the selects
it also is an opportunity to organize your project and who doesn't like an organized project
all right let's jump in i'm going to show you how to use the source tape using subclips with the
speed editor so the way we're going to use selects using the source tape is to make sub clips and to
use subclips here in the project it's going to be easiest if we create a smart bin so if you've
never done that before we're going to be in the media page we're going to go down to smart bins
okay and we're going to right click in this area and say smart add smart bin and doing this it's
basically saying anything that has these values is going to be added to the smart bin and we're
going to do that for sub clips so we're going to call this selects subclips okay and to change
that we're going to change we need to media pool properties is good we're going to change the file
name here is going to be subclip and we're going to say is true and you're going to click this show
in all projects and what this is doing is anytime you have a project open with that's within this
database it's already going to have this bin for so you only have to do this once we'll hit create
and now we have a bin here that's automatically going to put our sub clips in there
after we create them now to create them we're going to jump over into our edit page which is
shift 4 and in shift 4 we can go and find our bin that we want to take a look at why don't we look
at the sign footage and find something that's cool in here so why don't we look at this one
we should be able to use the search dial on the speed editor to find a section of the clip that
we like that we'll call our select okay so i like this little tilt up right here kind of
gives a little depth to the shot we're going to mark it in with the search dial and out with the
search dial and then we're going to make a sub clip out of it a couple different ways to make
a sub clip this is the first way you can click and drag from the source monitor over into here
and by doing that it moved a subclip in there that has those new limits and you can check that
by going down to smart bins and we see we have indeed a smart clip and the smart clip extents
are basically what we had marked as our in and out okay so that is our new select that's what
we're going to work with over in source tape the other way is to make a a subclip is basically
you could use a keyboard shortcut so like if we go back over here into our sign bucket of
footage let's find another shot we want to make a select double click this one to load it up and
let's find a shot oh this is cool with a close-up so let's make a select out of some of this
drilling right here so we'll work an in right here let it play as it's going down doing the drilling
and moves on to the next thing and we'll mark it out so it's a little bit loose and then you
can use the keyboard shortcut option b on your keyboard and that has just made a subclip of that
which is which goes into there and then if you also want to know where
this exists up in the menu system which is always a helpful thing to know we'll do one more subclip
that way i don't know let's take a look at this sign right here and see okay so there's sort of
a pan across of this neon sign mark an in point scroll the out point and if you go it's under mark
up top here so if you go to mark and then create subclip is right here which it also reminds you
that's option b so now we have three subclips that we've created so we have three selects
and the next little step you still need to do before you can use this in source tape
is create an actual bin of sub clips that's not a smart bin because if you're in the cut page you
don't have access to smart bins at least right now in version 17 it doesn't exist so i'll stay
here in the edit page i'll right click i'll say new bin and i'll call this my sign selects okay
so then we go down here to our subclips that we've made we're going to click and drag those
on over into our sign select bin that's an actual bin now to edit with them we're finally there it
took a little bit of setup and i think this will go much faster once you're used to it we're gonna
hit shift three to get to the cut page this is a clip that we don't need on the timeline so i'm
gonna ripple delete that we're gonna load up our source tape and now you can see we are in our bin
for sign selects and if i hit scroll it's going to let us get to each of those clips really quickly
and then it's just a matter of editing into the timeline like you normally would so maybe
i want to start with this clip right here i'd hit append that gets it to our timeline
and then we want to go to this shot here i'd say append with that one and then this one append
and the rest of it's just editing like normal so that is how you would use
selects using subclips in the source tape one thing real quick to understand with subclips
is it creates a hard extent on a clip once it's edited on the timeline meaning
i don't have those handles available to me anymore you can get those back though if you just select
the clip and right click it and then you can say edit subclip from that contextual menu then click
use full clip extents and say update now i should be able to take that clip and trim the out point
of it which you can see i can do now i hope you found that source tape tip really helpful i want
to let you know if you're new to this channel it's called creative video tips and i'm chadwick
the channel is all about creating videos that make a difference in standout if that's something
you're into i would love for you to subscribe that way you don't miss out on the tip next
week next up i'm going to be showing you how to use markers in the edit page to pull your
selects so the second way of making selects we're actually going to use a full timeline so this is a
timeline that just has all these shots from the broncos practice facility all in one timeline
and we're going to load that into our source and the way we're going to do that is just click
and drag over here and then we're going to open a new blank timeline called best edit ever because
of course it is the best edit ever and we're going to edit straight into the timeline if i tap
source this gives us access to that full timeline that we had seen with all of those broncos clips
and we just need to make sure two things are turned on for this to work correctly
we're going to go to edit menu we're going to turn on switch to timeline after edit
we're also going to turn on decompose compound clips on edit okay by doing this it basically
pulls from the source clip not from the compound clip which is what you want to do
so those are enabled we can go back to our source we can go along here and mark anything
that we like so the way we mark on here with the speed editor is let's find the part we like
okay there's a little move up we'll do a double tap there on the speed editor i put a mark down
and if you scroll we can kind of go a little quicker why don't we grab a shot right there
double tap that and so we're going to put these two on the timeline really quickly
the way we're going to do that is go back we can now identify where our favorite spots are
up here okay we can go and say let's mark an in point there and an out point there and then we can
do an append and then we'll go back up to source go to the next shot that we like in point you know
before it zooms out out point and append okay so now we've got those two shots that were basically
worked from making selects what i would do is go up here and make all your marks where you want
them first then you can use those in any timeline really quickly a couple navigation things you can
do up here if you don't have the speed editor or you don't want to use it if you use the up
and down arrows this is actually snapping me to every single clip that is on that timeline that
is basically inside that compound clip and if you add shift to your up and down arrows
it jumps into the markers so this is actually if you put marks on what your select areas of the
timeline are this is the way to get there really fast if you do up and down and you just want to
drop a whole clip here in the edit page like this is the beginning of a shot i can tap x which marks
an in and out that's specific to just that clip i can just quickly say i want to append that to
the end of my timeline and it's it's ready to go and that's the full clip that's not an in and out
that i had to specifically mark so using x up here to mark the in and end of each specific shot is a
great little tool so that's my tip on how you can use markers to edit from one timeline to another
timeline using the search dial and the keyboard sort of combined so the last method for selects
i want to show you is called pancake editing or stacked timelines as a davinci resolve term
and it's been around for a while you just need the mouse no speed editor let's check it out we're
going to move this to the side and we're just going to use the mouse and i'm going to show you
a technique called stacked timelines to deploy your selects if you click in this window right
over here with the mouse okay we are going to check this box right here which allows for stacked
timelines you could also do tabbed timelines if you click that plus button but we're going to
go over here and do stacked so by clicking this we can have two timelines open at the same time
actually you can have a lot more than two we can choose the timeline we want at the bottom which of
course is best at it ever and we're going to go to the end of the timeline and we can just click and
drag from one to the other so let's say i want to grab these shots these are my favorite shots i'm
going to click and hold and drag those down here to the timeline below and now they actually exist
all our favorite shots from that first timeline are in this timeline and it's really just as
simple as that so stacked timelines you can add more if you click here if you want but that
gives you the general idea now you're basically a professional assistant editor you know everything
there is to know about making selects pulling selects with keyboard speed editor with the mouse
if you got something out of this video i'd love to hit the like button right now
and if you're into learning more about the speed editor or davinci resolve i have a playlist
it should be coming up right around now and it'll teach you a lot more if you want to learn about
multicam everything you do with the search dial maybe how to trim all that stuff is up in there
i think it's great stuff you're going to learn a lot and i'll see you over in those videos thanks
