Further related tips: 1. When using Dynamic Project Switching you don't need to go to the menu. Just use the pulldown above the viewer to switch open projects. 2. As well as using folders, you can always create a new Project Library. This provides two different levels of organisation. Very handy. 3. I name project folders with an underscore prefix, so they are always first in the list.

@@MrAlexTech With Resolve there's always more!

Honestly, spending 30 minutes watching a 15 minute Alex video (30 minutes because I go back and take Anki notes on how to do stuff) is the highest yield activity for the quality of my videos.

Some great tips there and a few I had no idea existed. I spent too much time in Fusion. One I spotted after watching Chadwick, when using the viewer transform control, holding the shift locks the transform orientation. Have a great weekend.

Alex, diving into Resolve felt like navigating an enigmatic ocean - full of wonders, yet overwhelmingly vast. Your videos serve as the North Star for many of us, guiding through the rough seas, reminding us of the often forgotten treasures, and constantly revealing hidden gems. The blend of practical insights, reminders, and the zest to keep us informed is unparalleled. Every tip feels like a piece of an ever-growing puzzle, and while we might forget a piece or two, you're always there to place it back. Can't wait for what's next, and remember: in this vast ocean of digital editing, you're the lighthouse. Keep shining! 🌟🎥 #ResolveMasterclass

I am officially renaming you as Mr. EAZY PEAZY..thanks again for reminding us about all the eazy peazy crap we forget 😅

I've switched from Premiere to Resolve only about 4 months ago and your simple breakdowns and reminders of the great functionality of this NLE have been tremendously helpful! Much appreciated!

I don‘t edit projects every day and it is so helpful to get those little helpers you know but forgot … thanks a lot for such videos.

Thanks Alex!

Useful information. Thank you.

You do great work Alex. Never a waste of time to watch your stuff. Thanks!

A super summary of many functions. Great !!

Thanks for all the tips! You're a lifesaver!!

Awesome tips. So many powerful time savings features in DVR.

Helpful as always! Thanks, Alex.

Thx Alex, I've learned so much from you 🙏🏻

Great stuff as always! Thanks for posting.

Excellent 👍🏻 thank you for these video tutorials and tips.

Thank you so much for the tips. Im new to editing and DR18. These videos are very helpful and speeds up the learning process

Man, I really like these reminders - there's so much to learn and know in Resolve. If you don't use all the tricks all the time, you forget them - so THANKS!

Thanks! Learned a thing or 3 !

Great tips Alex. Using a good amount of these tips when editing my videogame recordings 👍

One of my favourite davinci help channels that I think has helped me improve my channel. Thx.

Hi. Have you tried setting your display settings to 125% when Davinci Resolve is running. On Windows you can set this up in Task Scheduler to only increase the display to 125% when Davinci Resolve is running. Hope there is some mileage in that. Enjoy.

@@davinciresolvehow Thanks for the response, I should have clarified. I use Linux. On Windows I can set 125% and leave Davinci on AUTO - it then actually sets 125 internally. On Linux though there's no AUTO option. Just the hard coded numbers.

Hola Alex, great tutorial!! I've lernt very useful tips! Congrats!!!

great, great videos!

Learn new things again. Sometimes deleted audio and want it back is a huge hassle for me. Now i know to use F and F to look back. As always awesome video!

Love me some good bloopers 😅 Great video Alex ❤ couple of things I already forgot or didn't know 😊

Always giving thanks!

I keep forgetting that match frame exists. I think that on earlier versions on resolve the option showed up in the context menu when you right clicked a clip but now it seems to be shortcut only.

quick tip for dynamic switching, you can click the title of the project on the top to switch between projects, and then below that is the timeline name, switch timelines there. Also you can include both in the multiple timeline settings

My friend, ur the best.

It so easy to forget the little things. Thanks for this great reminder. 😊👍

Another simple and useful shortcut in the edit page is when you are using single viewer mode, if you hit "Q" it switches from source viewer to program viewer and vice-versa.

I only realised what pressing 'Z' did recently... So very very helpful!

Always great advice. Wondering if you could do a video on DaVinci desktop mgmt tips. I really struggling when away with my laptop. So little screen space!!

Nice!

thanks bro

Hey Alex! Great video! What kind of a keyboard are you using when you edit? Thanx!!!

hahahaha!! "be-fo-aaah" HAHAHA Anyway, can you please make a video about "Media Management"? Thank you so much! Great vids as always! please keep it up, my good sir! Shoutout from the Philippines!

THE DYNAMIC ZOOM ONE IS A GAME CHANGER...LOL THANKS ALEX

Project Folders! Duh, great to know.

MrAlex the best 💪🏼

Amazeballs 🙏

Great content as allways! Is there a way to insert a video between 2 other clips and push them over instead of overwriting them?

Awesome video ! - thanks so much for those tips Alex 👍I have an issue in that when editing my iphone HDR footage - my Titles are Grey instead of white. All other colours are dulled down. Colour space set to DaVinci YRGB colour managed. I turned on HD mastering upped to 1000 nits but that doesn't help.

Hey M. Alex. I tried organize some nice smart bin like you would like to do, based on "Scene" attribute. Is there a turnaround so that the markers created from a clip receive (and appear) into the corresponding smartbin ? Otherwise the only way to get a "marked selection clips" into a smart bin is to add a Keyword to it. Which is time consuming to mark 1 by 1...

The Tilde ~ key also does Undo

Do you find that toggling some fusion effects on and off just makes the entire screen blank? It's quite annoying because you don't want to delete the effect to see how it looks off, as you've configured all the settings. Project switching I use all the time, but I use the arrow at the top, which makes it even quicker than going to the menu. Nice.

Great Video Alex! Can you make a video about how to backup databases while upgrading or downgrading resolve versions? Also on how to open source and timeline viewer open at the same time with inspector, like you had in your resolvecon worshop xD Would be super useful! Especially after facing the 18.6 bugs, Thanks! XD

Jesus i realy need that dunamic switch lol thx man best resolve creator

Can you do a video on drag and drop onto timelines? Sometimes I have audio on a timeline with no video on the corresponding video timeline. When I add a video with audio onto the timeline with the video sitting directly above another video, the audio from that new clip deletes the audio only clip. How can I avoid this?

Thanks so much for all your helpful videos. Here's such a basic question: how do I save my Render Settings (Deliver Page) with the project? Whenever I re-open a project it reverts back to the default settings and I need to remember to click on my custom settings.

Great video. Two questions: with respect to the clip history, I don’t see the clip’s file name along with a drop down menu. I just see “Timeline 1” and the clip’s name appears to the right of the timecode. How do I enable this feature? Second, can you assign a keyboard shortcut to bring up Edit…History? I was not able to do it. Thanks.

hey alex u mentioned compound clips i really wanna use them more but it bugs me that when i change the length of the footage in the compound clip i have to remember to extend the actual compound clip *itself* for those changes to actually take place. do you know any way around this? either automatic extend or decompose and recompose?

Hi Alex - a challenge ! On the editing page when you right click on a clip there is a change clip duration option with presets of 1 sec 3 sec 5 sec and 15 secs. The 1 sec i find pretty useless and would like to alter that to 2 sec (as a preset) which would be easier for my editing than having to alter the secs manually. Any quick tips to solve this problem ? Thanks !

How do you create a still in the middle of a clip?

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the UI display scale of specific WINDOWS within Resolve? I know that sounds like a lot but it's actually DONE IT TO ME. My UI display scale was set to 200 because I use a 4K monitor and if I don't have that everything is minuscule, and I set it back to 100, so it was tiny, changed it to 150, still a bit small, went back to 200. But now, in the inspector, everything is HUGE... It's a pain for TITLES because it will make the preview of the title (where you type what you want the title to be) so big that you can't see very much of it as you type it. Somehow BEFORE I fiddled with this, I seemed to have the inspector at 150 but everything else at 200?

Help! Folders in Project Manager! Once you've navigated into a folder .. how do you navigate back? Not found a way to do so and have to close and reopen Resolve to get back there. Thanks! 👍

SMART BINS: Is there a setting/option to allow Bin drop downs to retain their size/position? I am sure I am saying it wrong but when I expand (up/down) the Bin area to the full/half page height, I end up having to manually resize the lower bins (Power & Smart) to see what is in them, even though the upper bin (Master) is displayed (oversized) with a lot of empty space. Someone help me explain, even I do not understand what I have written.

Double click to reset transform? Surely just single click the wheel on the right??

Alex can you help. I made slideshow and loaded to you tube, when I play on my 60 Inch tv the photos have a lag then pop into focus,very slight difference but I noticed a slight visible jump on each picture. How do I fix this thanks so much

I always have problem with dynamic zoom, when trying to move the inside box i cant select it. It always grabs the outside box. Do you maybe have a solution for this?

Just don't hit Z(ed) while in the fusion tab 😬 One of my frustrations is that the different preview windows react differently to commands.

HELP !!! Your very first tip, create folder to put several projects in.. great .. but how do u go back to project manager again ?? thanku in advance .. and, I tried the 'dynamic project switching'.. copy/paste clips etc, put into new project but the copied clips seem not to work once I had copied them into a new project .. any ideas, thanku

Cntrl+Z yeah I know that one well I always do something I didn't mean to do. 🤣

I have variety of footage which have different aspect ratio from old tape like VHS,DVCAM,Mini DV,HDV and also FHD footage. when we import these footage then by default all clips have same aspect ratio of sqare 1:1 but i want original aspect ratio. In other software like premiere pro when we import clips then it maintain original aspect ratio of original clips but here all the clips have 1:1 aspect ratio. Here from clip attribute we can change aspect ratio but having 200 to 800 clips in a project , it is not possible to do . Is any setting or any solution to solve this in davinci resolve.

@HikingWithCooper

You set your timeline aspect ratio and anything you bring in will adapt to that, usually with black bars. You can zoom in to simulate a matching aspect.

I can't for the life of me figure out if there is a way to do Fit to Fill without it retiming the source. Say I have a gap that is 5 seconds, I want to fill with B-roll. I could 4-point edit to mark exactly 5 seconds from the in point I want, but is there a way for DaVinci to just find the length I need to fill the gap? Like it auto pulls only 5 seconds into the gap? Fit to fill currently takes the In through Out of the source and retimes the clip to fill.

Grey or Blue? Ain't it grey or black? Thanks all the same Alex

Even after saving the UI changes, they are not showing up in the editor. What can be the possible reason?

i dont know if its just me. but davinci resolve 18.6 is just not working out for me. i know its not because of my PC as I have one beast of a PC to use. but ever since I've updated to 18.6, its always crashing with no way of finding out what is triggering it. even just by changing from the fusion page to the edit page makes it crash, or even using alt+space to use fusion's add tool feature. is there anyone else experiencing this ? i cant seem to find a solution ANYWHERE.

I m premiere pro lovers, but like to watch your video
