My Suggestions For Improving The program DaVinci Resolve

Hello! I have prepared a video about my suggestions for improving the program DaVinci Resolve. Please send this video to the right hands. If possible, I would really like an answer. Regards Tymur.

the reason the transition between compound clips wasn’t working for you is that the clips didn’t have enough handles - how would a transition work if there is no handle?

Add some handle to your compound clips and then you will be able to add a transition between them

The reason he is “going dark” is because you are transitioning to black - again the compound clip has no handle to it is transitioning to nothing.

The double line on the timeline is to make space for the video and audio sections. for instance if you have multiple autio or video tracks.

Some good comments though!

I understand what you are talking about, but I didn't understand what to do.

2. One more list:

I understand what you are talking about, but I didn't understand what to do.

Go into the compound clip and add some length to the head and tail of the footage so that you have extra footage that you can use for the transition (for a standard 30 frame transition you will need 15 extra frames from where the current in or out point is)

I cut the compound clip at 10 frames left and right, the transition does not work.

Mattfezz said 15 frames not 10. The default dissolve is one second so you need a minimum of half a second on the end of one clip and the same on the front of the next clip which at 30fps is 15 frames on each.
You really do need to spend some time learning Resolve. This is a page in the preferences menu.

This is an excellent suggestion for improving a lot with Davinci Resolve!

RTFM probably fixes 90% of issues.

I think reading the manual (all 2962 pages of it) is a wise idea before you produce a video full of complaints about issues you don't really understand.

Really, there is a 'Vulcan' version?
I will read again ...

Ok Mark, look. I am from Ukraine, and the manual is in English. And for me this is a problem. But this is not the most striking thing. When I go to other programs, there are no such problems. And this suggests that the program needs to be finalized. I understand that there are other options for how something can be done. But why waste a lot of time if you can fix the program.

Do this. If you have cut off enough frames on each clip you will be able to add the cross dissolve. Instead of cutting the end of each clip use the Trim tool. Now look for videos on YouTube and references in the manual on Trimming Clips.
There is no problem with Resolve. You just do not know how to use it.

Of course I don’t know much, since the program is in English.

Oh gods, I get it. Thank you. But why is everything so complicated? Why can’t I make it so that I simply add a transition over the compound clip. 2019 is a year of endless possibilities. People on the phone edit the video. And there are so many unnecessary actions. This is not effective.

Need to either fix the compound clip, or make another function that will allow you to combine the clips and at the same time make everything work as with a regular video. Because now it is just awful.

Maybe you should try a simpler editor, though they all have a learning curve. Remember, Resolve was originally aimed at professional editors. It is the free version that has attracted the amateur user.

By the way, you do not need compound clips to do transitions like these.

I made a video about the issues I found on Davinci Resolve 16 (stable)

Anyone else noticed these issues?

Tymur, click on the top left words Davinci Resolve. Select "Preferences". then select "User" and "UI Settings". There is a box that says "Language". Choose Russian click the save box and close Resolve. When you restart the programme it will look like this. I do not know if the manual is available in Russian. Now, if I can do this you could have found this as well.

This is a tutorial on YouTube. If you set captions to on and select Auto Translate in the Settings- Subtitles menu and choose your language you will get the subtiles in that language. This should work for most videos.

Black Magic's training guides are also very good -- and a bit easier to digest, since they're based on real projects.

Thank you, of course, but there are many different problems in Davinci that really don't work conveniently and I think we should strive for the best. Moreover, even if this program is for professionals, this does not mean that you need to do everything as inconveniently as possible, and not automatically. Professionals also care about their time. And they would definitely take the opportunity to save time. Therefore, I think it’s not worth saying that this program is exclusively for professionals.

And yes, the same preset for YouTube, for some reason was done? If the program was for professionals, why then came up with this template with saving the video for YouTube? A professional does not need this, he is a professional. And the answer is simple - Davinci is expanding, and I'm talking about amateurs now.
Why need tutorial videos, if a professional, he himself will understand everything.

I said originally for professionals, not exclusively.
If you think Resolve is tough, have a look at Media Composer, or Vegas, or Premiere, etc.
As for Resolve, it is for you to learn how to use it, and it's workflow, not for it to just become more convenient because it doesn't work the way you think it should.
Have you looked at, or taken time to try the things I bothered finding out for you?

Maybe the OP needs to get a Mac & try iMovie.

It would be great if Davinci Resolve could show the markers in the waveform view of the source monitor. The scale when viewing the markers currently in the source monitor is tiny. I can't tell sometimes where one ends and another begins.

Okay guys I found another problem with in the Title section of the stable version 16 of Resolve. This time while using '3D Lower 3rd Multiplane Background' Title. I used it at the beginning of this Joker tribute video I made for YouTube. If you guys play the video, you'll see that in between the 3 sec and 4 sec mark in the video, the screen blinks once. I mean the screen becomes black for a couple of frames. And it is not a one off. It can be replicated if that particular title is used. These titles are of great help for a quick workflow in my use case without needing to make custom Titles in Fusion. Resolve 15.3.1 Titles worked fine for me. But since the last update to version 16 I have noticed issues with these titles "3D Lower 3rd Sliding Block", "3D Title Superhero movie", "3D Lower 3rd Multiplane Background" and "3D Lower Motion Background". The audio waveform issue I mentioned in a separate post is also a bit of a bother. And also the issue of the same render cache getting generated constantly despite making only nominal changes in the timeline. I love Resolve, hence taking the time out to report these issues.

Anyway, here's a link to the Joker tribute video I made for YouTube. You'll see that in between the 3 sec and 4 sec mark in the video, the screen blinks once, ie, the screen becomes black for a couple of frames before resuming playback. I wish I noticed this before uploading the final video.

Can not reproduce. I would look if there is not a cache problem ( ) Or GPU not powerful enough ( )
Edit: or avoid making a transition with Image Stoboscopes ...

Okay thanks! But this wasn't happening with 15.3.1 Stable, that's why I made the post.

Of course, I wrote that I checked your method. Everything works, but that...
Nothing.

I had the same thing. Try increasing or decreasing the length of the text. It helped me. The black screen also appears with the transition. I just set 31 frames instead of 30 frames, and miraculously helped me.
But yes need fixed this.
