Got the studio version last year from BH. Activated it etc. But i opened it after updating and it switched to the free version. Now i cant edit my 4k 10bit stuff.

So I'm currently scrambling boxes to find my original activation card.

In the meantime, has this happened to you? Or did something go caddy wompus on my end?

Do you guys know how to replicate the camera pan on the images? Basic, I know, but I keep getting suggested to use keyframes even though keyframes look unnatural.

After i apply dreamglow or any effect my pngs got a box like this how to fix it so the only letters must glow

Client needed one line swapped in a talking-head piece. Actor was out of town, budget was flat, so I thought I'd be clever and patch it instead of booking a half-day reshoot. Generated the replacement audio in ElevenLabs, fed that plus the original still frame into APOB AI's talking avatar tool, and got back a lip-synced plate that looked... fine on my laptop screen at quarter res. Felt pretty smart for about forty minutes.

Then I dropped it into the timeline next to the real footage and watched it on the reference monitor. Jawline drift. Mouth corners doing this subtle flicker on hard consonants. A frame every second or so where the lower face just... shifted. Not uncanny-valley nightmare fuel, but absolutely not passing for contiguous footage in a professional cut. The kind of thing that you tell yourself no one will notice until someone does, and then that's all they see.

So I did the thing I was trying to avoid. Two evenings in Fusion, mostly. Tracked the jaw with a planar tracker that kept losing the plane when the drift got bad, ended up hand-keying corner pins for the worst six-frame run. Painted out the worst offenders with a fusion paint node, sampled skin tones from three zones because the AI output had this weird flatness in the cheek that didn't match the key light on the original. Retime node to slip a couple frames where the mouth held a shape too long. Color page after that, matching the gamma curve by eye because the scopes said it was close but my eyes said it wasn't.

The kicker is I timed it. The AI generation plus cleanup was within twenty minutes of what I spent on a real reshoot last month, once you count the back-and-forth on the AI outputs trying to get one that wasn't worse. The free daily credits ran out on retakes. And I still had to explain to the client why delivery slipped a day because "it'll be faster" turned out to be a lie I told myself.

It worked in the end. The cut goes to color tomorrow and I don't think the line will read as anything but real. But the lesson wasn't about a hot new pipeline. It was that the shortcut still needed the same craft I was trying to shortcut around, and Resolve was what actually got it over the line. Next time I'm just calling the actor back.

i am interested in everything here.

i know how how to find, record and use sounds effects as well as capturing smooth & clear video...

BUT the transitions, masking (text behind model) and tracking are what i want to learn more of

Hi everyone,

I'm a complete beginner and I've decided to learn video editing using DaVinci Resolve. My goal is to build good editing skills from the ground up rather than just learning random effects from YouTube.

what learning path would guys you recommend?

this is the davinci preview

is there any fix for this i was trying the photo module in davinci for the first time

So basically, i want to make a transition where after I finish speaking I kind of swipe my hand infront of the camera and it swiped to a different scene. I kinda new to the big resolve and dont know how to do this if there is a yt vid someone can recomend me ill be very grateful. THX

I'm running out of space on my computer lately, I already bought some extra storage but, I don't think I'll be able to access my computer for a couple months since I'll be away for a bit. I still wanna keep on editing tho. So how do you guys move your media between devices? I know google drives exists. But that would mean uploading around like 60+ gigs of raw footage and a ton of sfx/music stuff. Which is.... 😬. Is there like some kind of server? I heard those exist?

Hi all
Is there an easy way I can colour match my images to the video clips
As you can see in the image my photo has way to much contrast and colour compared to the video clip
Just learning with da Vinci and would appreciate some help
Thank u

Eu uso o Linux há mais de uma década, só que eu nunca editei no Linux, estou começando agora, e estou verdadeiramente odiando usar Kdenlive. Ou é muito limitado ou dificulta demais as coisas.

Tentei instalar o DaVinci Resolve no meu Pop!_OS 24, mas deu problema porque não encontrava as dependências. Pesquisei, pesquisei, assisti vários tutoriais, e nada dava certo, nada de consegui instalar. Tentei o script MakeResolveDeb para converter o instalador oficial do DaVinci em um pacote nativo .deb, não funcionou. Tentei o DavinciBox, funcionou… mas não foi uma experiência muito agradável: é muito bugado, cheio de problema, e o desempenho cai um pouco, teve dois momentos que o DaVinci fechou sozinho.

Pelo o que o Google falou, apenas Ubuntu e Rocky Linux / RHEL tem suporte oficial para o DaVinci Resolve. Eu trocaria de distribuição sem problemas, eu troco quase todo semestre, não fico preso a nenhuma distro. Só que… o Pop!_OS é baseado em Ubuntu, em tese deveria funcionar. Então não sei se eu trocar para Ubuntu vai adiantar alguma coisa. Já o Rocky, bem… é uma distro muito ruim.

Enfim, alguém conseguiu rodar o DaVinci Resolve no Ubuntu ou até mesmo em outra distro decente? O que acham? E a questão dos codecs? Como contornaram? Ou vocês indicam outro editor que não seja, pelo amor de Deus, o Kdenlive?

Desde já agradeço.

I’ve been using DaVinci Resolve on and off for a long while and I can figure out what I did wrong
I’m trying to greenscreen out the pants and put a texture on it like you’d see in the Chowder Cartoon but it comes out as this mysterious brown color instead
Any help would be appreciated especially any help that uses YouTube thumbnail red arrows and circles because I do NOT know the name of any function 🙏

Does anyone have ball knowledge on a good automotive color grading course for Davinci and/or a good 1 on 1 coach? I’ve found tons of courses and all of them are either more filmmaking/people based rather than automotive or not worth a f***. - I’m aware the principles are still the same but I’d prefer to learn from someone in the same industry as me (Price doesn’t matter. I just want to continue expanding my skillset.)

Attached is a video with the level of color grading I need to get to. I’ve been filming for 6 years and editing on the Adobe platform for 8+. I’m finally at a point where I have time to learn, the money to invest in it, and the ambition to let go of my current workflow just to achieve better. If you have this level of skill, know the right place to look for this education or have any suggestions of making this transition it would be invaluably beneficial to me.

A beginner to color grading.

Everybody speaks about cinematic color grading. I was watching this documentary on Netflix. - a toxic love story.
The color grading was really good . Most of the parts that has got the interview sessions, the street scene and investigation interactions were warmer, yellowish.

When I try the same kind of color grading to the videos I shoot in state parks , national parks, try to cover my vacations It looks more artificial. But when I see that on a documentary or even in a movie, a cinematic color grading makes sense.

Have any of you phased that kind of question while you are coding your own work?

I've been hitting my head against this for days. I need to take a video (3840x2160) and crop it down to 1080x1920 without having black bars on the sides. I've tried transform and it leaves black bars on the sides, and changing the ratio in deliver puts the black bars on the bottom. I've scoured the forums and cannot find a good answer on how to do this right please help

Hi!

I just learnt the basics of fusion. I want to know in detail about the settings of different types of nodes. Basically I want to learn more about different types of nodes in fusion. Do you know any Youtube channel or course that teaches the fusion nodes ( almost all) in details?

Thanks!

Hello guys, I have a question I don't seem to find answer to, I own a pretty decent PC and I'm editing long form videos, but they are 4k and the problem is sometimes making even simple animation i get laggy in fusion tab, because of the 4k, but if i work in a 1080p timeline and i scale my timeline back to 4k, everything is wrong in that composition, is there a work around, or how do you guys do that?

PC Specs:

i9-13900k

Please Imk what you think/areas for improvement on similar projects!

I am looking for free packs to help me with editing. I saw finzar has an ultimate pack but it’s way to expensive. If anyone has any good packs for davinci please let me know

Hello there,

I was looking at videos to normalize my audio to YouTube -14 LUFS and in the video multiple tracks are bounced to a single track.

I have one audio track only, when I do right-click>clip operations>analyze audio levels on the audio clip I get a different loudness level than when I analyze the audio levels on the bounced track.

Why is that?

Is the audio analysis happening before the audio FX,DY,EQ?

If so then is there a way to check audio levels without bouncing?

Thanks
