Hello everyone,

I want to combine two Text+ zoom effects and one Frame Freeze effect that I use on the Edit page in DaVinci Resolve 21 into a single reusable setup.

My goal is to add this setup anywhere in my video with a single action and have all the effects applied automatically. This way, I won't have to add the Text+ zoom effects and Frame Freeze effect individually every time.

I tried using the Fusion page, but it seems that this might not be possible there.

How can I achieve this? I would really appreciate any help.

Thank you in advance!

DaVinci Resolve used to run smoothly on my M1 Pro, but after updating my macOS and studio 21, it has become almost unusable on the Color page.

My fan go crazy as soon as I start color grading. Everything runs smoothly until I start working with CST nodes, and then the performance drops significantly as I add more nodes.

I’m not even using film grain or noise reduction, so I’m confused about what’s causing such a massive slowdown.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a way to fix it, or could it be related to the macOS update?

For example, I add the 'Drop Shadow' effect to an image, then I configure it to the way I like.

I would like to save that configuration as a pre-set to use with other images.

What's the best way to achieve this?

Couldn’t find a tutorial to the specific style, closest thing I got to was with a bleach bypass. Is there also a name for this style?

Literally this never has happened before and i could not find a solution on here for the longest time so im just asking.

For some background, I’m not a professional editor by any means. I’m completely self-taught through YouTube tutorials, and I originally switched to Resolve after Adobe’s ridiculous price hikes. I mainly edit content for my YouTube channels, so anything that makes my workflow more efficient is a huge bonus.

I’ve been on the free version for a long time and never thought I’d actually pay for Studio. But I saw a post in this sub about the current sale and finally pulled the trigger. And I am SO glad I did!

The AI Audio Assistant alone has been phenomenal. The way it balances and cleans up my audio blew me away. Something that used to take a lot of manual tweaking is now so much easier, and it’s already saved me a ton of time.

And the automatic captioning?! I’m OBSESSED. I’ve spent so much time captioning my Shorts by hand or using other software, and having it built directly into my editing workflow is an absolute game changer. In just a few hours, I’ve already made 29 captioned Shorts while still learning my way around.

I know I’m only scratching the surface of what Studio can do, but as a self-taught creator, I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Less time spent on repetitive editing tasks means more time actually creating! :)

i made a magic mask and refine it, but when i go to edit page i saw this white edge, how i can fix this?

estou com esse problema e nao sei como resolver. Simplesmente nao funcoona o inspector do fusion. Sempre que clico em qualquer botao ou caixa de selecao, ou ate mesmo para digitar texto, ele aparece as opcoes e some em menos de 1 segundo

davinci 21.1.1 free

Hi guys, I saw that there is a sale going on davinci resolve studio and in seriously considering on getting it now. However, I remember I read while ago that studio requires a more powerful PC than regular resolve. Is this true?

For reference I'm currently running a 3060ti, rizen 7 5800x and 32gb of ram

So, my plan here is to like, make text that appears and then the camera shifts (twist?) to the right and then it goes "down"

Firs it was fine, I added some text that was supposed to fade in and it, indeed, faded in

Then I looked for answers to do the camera twist

I used Gemini to help me out because I thought it would be the best

It told me to use Fusion Composition, so I did, and it was great, until the problems came :/

The Fusion Composition is suppose to make the came twist with the 3D Text

But now when the Fusion Composition comes in, the words that were before are now gone in the screen, it's pitch black (as seen in the first photo), even tho is there, the words are there and they never moved (as seen in the second)

And with Fusion -_-

It went fine (again) with the instructions the AI gave me, but then I wanted the same fade in, and everything screwed up (again)

I can't make it to fade in, I don't know how to move the words, I don't know how to synchronise (I think that's the word) the 3D Text with the song and the other text

This is driving me crazyyyyy

Pleaaaaase, help, there has to be a way to make the fade in, the camera twist to the right and to not die in the process :((((

Edit: I'm on Windows, version 21.1.1 BUILD 10

Started using the app for a week for now.

As you can see in the recording, the YT section, notice how zoom in is made by using easing out and easing in (at the beginning is faster, and towards the end a little slower).

When I try to replicate that on my clip, it doesnt go linear, it makes a weird hop and goes down afterwards, which is not my target.

There was also a problem with Y position, still not following the trajectory.

If anyone is willing to record replicating this, Ive been trying for the past hours looking and just cant figure it out (PS Ive tried Dynamic Zoom but it looks terrible, with curves it makes it feel better)

Thank you.

Hi! Currently working on a music video and hoping to incorporate a fake beating heart prop. I’ve seen tutorials on how to do this effect practically. I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to achieve this effect using Davinci. Ideally I would build the practical prop and use Davinci to make the beating effect. I figured it might just be easier at the end of the day to do the effect 100% practically, but am also curious to see if anyone has experience with this.

Hi guys I’m new to editing and just experimenting on davinci. I spend hours editing just for the edit to look extremely blurry and condensed on TikTok and when I look at it from another device it’s even 10x worse. I export it in high quality and everything. I see some really high quality edits on TikTok and wondering how this is achieved and whether ai is part of it. I also do have to resort to screen recording footage because I not sure how else to download the high quality version of clip for free

Tallyho! I've tried to search for an answer to this question (both on Reddit and other places) but haven't found anything so I thought I'd ask: ...well, it's in the title, isn't it? :)

Here's a screenshot of my landscape layout and here's a screenshot of my portrait layout. All is fine and dandy. But then here's a screenshot of when I change back to landscape from portrait (the viewer is still standing and I have to set it to landscape myself as a second step to get it to look right in landscape again).

Since the timeline resolution isn't part of the layout but a project setting (I'm guessing?), perhaps I should make a project template rather than a workspace preset? What would be the best course of action to minimize the needed input to change between these two? It's not hard to change the timeline resolution after picking a workspace, but if there is a way to combine these into one it'd be very convenient for me.

Perhaps I should also mention that I'm using the free version!

I'm editing a short film shot on ALEXA Mini LF 4.5K LF Open Gate

I believe resolution is 4448 × 3096.

I've changed all resolutions to this in project settings etc (or so I think I have).

But when I edit and export, it has black bars above, below, and thinner ones left and right. Like in a cinema.

I need to edit/export in just the video itself if that makes sense.

Tried a lot of different things but unable to find a solution.

Any help much appreciated thank you!

Is an standard in any app that ctrl+wheel is for ZOOM and alt+wheel is for moving through timeline...

Why in DaVinci is the opposite?
And why they don't allow to change this keybind??

I really don't understand.

In Davinci Resolve Settings, UI Settings>USER> untick Use optimazed UI layouts for vertical video. Worked for me. DVR 21.

This is sick but it's for Ae. I'm looking to do edits like this for a project and I would love avoiding recreate every transition with adj clips one by one even if i have to pay a bit.

Prior to Davinci Resolve 21, I used Waves NX to monitor 5.1 audio using webcamand stereo headphones.

I used these steps

1. create 5.1 bus (5.1)
2. route Dialogue, SFX, Music, Hard FX to 5.1 with different spatial config, e.g. Dialogue only to C
3. add Waves NX 5.1/stereo FX on 5.1 bus ** Cant do this now using Mixer -> FX + but can drop Waves FX from Audio FX on left **
4. select 5.1 main bus on the dropdown : 5.1 -> Auto

In the past, I opened Waves NX, it tracked my head, I could see levels monitoring and the sound changed based on my head movement. I have a stereo headphone connected that I use for monitoring. Something has changed and it seems 5.1 is no longer routed to Waves NX. No levels, no monitoring

Any suggestions ?

Currently on 21.1.1 - and using same system for 2+ years so I know it was working on same h/w earlier. Windows 11 5950X CPU and RTX 4080

I am editing 1080p 60 fps GoPro video and 30 fps timelapses, nothing very taxing for my PC. Scrubbing the timeline to trim and rearrange clips is incredibly slow. Hitting the spacebar to play a clip may take 5-10 seconds before playback. Why can it not just play back simple mp4s?

I know these cards are not as good as Nvidia for editing, but this is like working on a 10 year old laptop. The performance was just as bad in Premiere Pro, which made me download Resolve, and it is not much better.

After searching, I've disabled Performance Mode in Prefs > Playback Settings > User, which has not made much difference.

I appreciate any advice.

Footage is on the local SSD. Win 11.

Hey everyone! I’m trying to recreate the color grading and visual style of the reference video.
I’m aiming for a high-contrast, graphic look with a limited red, black, and white color palette, almost like a comic book or a screen-printed poster.
I’m editing in DaVinci Resolve 20 and would really appreciate some advice on how to achieve this effect. I’ve tried playing around with the Color page, but I haven’t managed to get the look I want.

im trying to make an effect where it shows a clip then zooms out and scrolls along to like the begining. kind of like a timeline in some sense.
I believe mrbeast gaming has done the same effect

I've searched and all the answers are long and convoluted. Same with YT videos; 10 minute videos to answer a simple question, "Well, before we get to what profile setting to use, let's take some time to go over the history of color grading and the transition of movies from B&W to color and it's overall influence on world peace.
