I will now be adopting this method. I've been using Davinci for about a year now, and understand the importance of an organized workflow... but have still neglected it, and now I'm at the part where everything is messy lol. The stacked timelines thing is huge for me, so I appreciate it! :) Thanks George

@bendesignsmedia Жыл бұрын

Stacked timelines! 🤯Had no idea about that. The second tip is the one I always try to teach people once they are comfortable with the idea of cutting and trimming because it saves so much time! Great video George!

@georgekamenov_ Жыл бұрын

Thank you, I'm happy you liked it. And yeah, that second one is definitely my favorite all time tip for cutting footage 😁

@pablobellini3320 Жыл бұрын

To the second one, add "selection follows playhead" and will be even faster

@SebastianFriedrichVisuals Жыл бұрын

3:11 if you would set „Start To Playhead“ to „Q“, „Split Clip“ to „W“ and „End to Playhead“ to „E“ yo can get the same result just even faster without the unnecessary selecting the clip with the mouse and then deleting the selected parts. Just hit „W“ where you want to split the clip, move forward to the point where you want everything to be deleted until the last cut and hit „E“ - way faster! :)

@benjaminjacome Жыл бұрын

a question, but theres like 3 options for start to playhead, resize, ripple and roll. So what do you select, or you do the 3 of them?

@benjaminjacome Жыл бұрын

I kind of just put the keybind to the ripple settings and it´s golden. It takes so much less time, with your recommendation. Thank you amigo!

I enjoy editing more than I imagined. How you all grasp all the details on all the raw footage is beyond me. Organizing all your thoughts and keeping notes in your head is mind blowing in itself. What I do...is simply record fewer attempts, giving me fewer choices when I bring the SD cards home to edit. tHanks for the videos!

Hey, awesome tips, especcialy for the fast cutting. For a large No of clips, I would even recommend a tip 0 before your tip No 1 which emulates what is done on large film production sets every night with the 'diaries' (the many clips being shot during the day). There is even a SW for this type of work, Assimilate Scratch - but we can emulate it a bit with Davinvi Resolve: Create a new timeline and then go to the cut page, select the bin with your clips (you may have more than one bin with clips for larger projects), and take advantage of the viewing mode called 'Source Tape'. This will make all clips of a bin being showed in the view window as if it was one large clip - and you can navigate ('scratch') through them as if it was one clip. Then take advantage of the playback keys on your keyboard for 'scratching' through all the clips: - 'j' = backwards - 'k' = stop - 'l' = forward Pressing 'j' or 'l' multiple times will speed up playback for backward or forward. To select the part you feel good to go into the timeline just mark the beginning by pressing 'i' (= in) and 'o' (= out), then select via the mouse either smart insert or append insert to bring the selected part into the timeline - this works even over clip boundaries. After this initial 'Scratch', your tips are awesome to speed up things from there - will give it a try asap.

To be honest, I think using the cut page saves a lot of time as it's meant for quick editing. In the Cut page you can watch all the fotage without creating a new timeline, and you can easily trim and change clips position without needing any other timeline as reference. The last shortcuts were a nice tip tho :)

I always dread cutting clips short & want to get to the fun part with transitions so those shortcuts will definitely be up there on my to-do list of modifications I need to do moving forward. The multiple timeline clips are excellent as well, I usually just play all the individual clips & drag them onto my working timeline, I wasnt even aware that you could have multiple going at the same time haha. Thanks for making this video, you potentially have saved me about a gallon of coffee & part of my sanity. Cheers!

Man, the stacked timelines feels like it is going to be huge for me.

I was actually already doing the second half, but the first tip there could really make my life easier. Since starting KZfaq in 2020 I have been all self taught and this year my resolution to myself was to learn better editing habits. Currently I dump all of my clips into the media pool, mark in/out in the clip monitor and pull down to a single time line. I find that I also often miss key moments of content or a flow because I am not watching everything at once. Watching how you take advantage of multiple timelines is going to change my entire process. I cannot even begin to think about how much time you have saved me going forward.

Gonna help you speed up tip #2. Place your playhead at a cut point - COMMAND+B will make a cut, play footage to where the cut ends a COMMAND+SHIFT+ BRACKET(the key next to the letter P) This does exactly what your tip does but you don't have to remap keys and you don't have to select the clip to delete the unwanted part, it's done auto-magically.

@georgekamenov_ Жыл бұрын

Well technically you don't need to remap the keys at all. That's kind of why I mentioned the part about setting them all up so I can use them with just one hand (and less buttons). The time saving part is exactly not needing to use both hands or reach across opposite ends of the keyboard 😅

@ionluv Жыл бұрын

@@georgekamenov_ I don't think you understnd why hectorinmotions version is faster. its has nothing to do with the remaping. I think you should give it a try...

@georgekamenov_ Жыл бұрын

I completely understand what he means. What he's saying, you can essentially do in the exact same way with my setup, except instead of using the default key combos he wrote down (which are slower than clicking just one button) I'd just have to click 1 to make a cut then move forward and click 2 to use the "start to playhead" function, effectively making it so I don't have to make 2 cuts, select and then ripple delete. With the way I've set everything up, to do what he's telling me to do I just click "1", move the playhead and click "2". And I'm fully aware of that, sometimes I do it that way. But the reason I gave the tip the way I did was because I felt like it gives me most control and works best for me that way. Of course, if anyone has a way they feel works better for them that's absolutely fine as well 🙂

@zoharbenezra5947 Жыл бұрын

gonna help you speed up tip # 2 Instead of making a cut then scrolling making another cut then selecting and ripple deleting, DO THIS!!!!! map DELETE SELCTED to a prefered key map RIPPLE DELET to a prefered key now when viewing you clip, just use in and out (I and O keys) to select unwanted footage. use RIPPLE DELETE to cut and join the two clips or use DELETE SELCETED to cut and leave a gap the size of the deleted clip. (good for visualizing if you want to add BROLL after, so there is some space) ENJOY my friend

Be very careful with ripple deletes though. If you have effects and stuff layered, or you have a backing track you don’t want to cut, the ripple delete shifts EVERYTHING and will offset those things. Also, I’ve had several times where I’ll load a project I manually saved before closing, and it will have lost some of my progress. It’s only happened 2 times but it is frustrating
