how can I use DVR16 Cut to remove individual frames?

PostMon Jul 15, 2019 8:18 pm

I am a brand new user of Resolve. I just installed the free version of DVR16 beta.

I have zero experience with any video editing software, though I am very computer literate.

I have pulled together four clips from one of my family VHS tapes. The clips are about 25 minutes each. I figured out how to put them all into one timeline, each clip following the previous.

What I now want to do is remove adjacent frames from each clip. Say, there'll be about 200 sequential frames in the middle of one clip that's no good. I want to snip them out.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to select these frames and remove them.

Using shift-[ and shift-] can select frames but the part to the left of [ and the right of ] disappear from the timeline as soon as I press these values. So I don't think that's what I want to happen.

I do need a step by step like I was five years old description of what to do. Thanks in advance.

I always recommend against that for software of Resolve's complexity.

Two minor issues with using the existing training:

1. It's for DVR15, not DVR16. (And it seemed better for me to learn how to use Cut from the start, rather than get bogged down with the "obsolete" Edit approach.)

2. I'm hard of hearing, and the training videos aren't captioned. They do look good, but I am unable to follow the discussion.

Use the edit page. It is not obsolete. There is no DVR16 training as it's still a beta release.

Mark in "I" key. Mark Out "O" key. Backspace to lift out of timeline, shift backspace to delete and close the gap.

If you don't know how to edit you REALLY NEED to do some training or go online and do a lot of research. Forums are generally not film school.

Blammar, the Blackmagic videos, and many others, are captioned. Just click the CC button at the bottom of the video.
As to Resolve versions it doesn't matter. You need to get a grasp of first principles of editing and the training videos will help.

Is there a forum for surgery?
I just got a scalpel and thought that I could operate on my son's foot.
A step-by-step guide would suit me best....
the first bit was ok but I cant work out for the life of me how to stop the blood getting everywhere...





....sorry - long day. Couldn't help myself.
The manual for V15 will give everything you need to edit.
Once you have learned where the buttons are and what they do the V16 manual will be out.

Just one of the many problems with the Cut page being a thing.

The ones downloadable from the Blackmagic training pages are uncaptioned .mp4 files, so I didn't think to look for them on youtube, where they turn out to be captioned. Thanks, I'll start on these today.

:D :D :D

Well, in faint justification for my initial request, my mental model is that a video is just a sequence of frames. Just like a text editor, I thought it would be easy to locate frames, snip them out, etc. and that functionality would be easy and clear to find in a video editor.

And in regards to learning Cut without learning Edit, I suppose I just wanted to "stand on the shoulders of giants." We don't bother to learn how to knapp flint anymore do we, but just whet our steel knives on the sharpener.

My earlier post tells how to do it in the edit page. Those instructions also work for the Cut page. Did you miss my post?

No, I saw them. Thanks for the info, and I'm sorry for not thanking you earlier. I kind of got it to work, and then, metaphorically, the blood started spurting.

So it's clear to me I really should spend the time up front to "learn the alphabet" before "writing the novel." The captioned youtube videos work a lot better for me; thanks to whoever posted them.

Check if the Rippletraining tutorials got captions, they already have one for the Cut page.
That said, Cut doesn’t replace Edit (nor is it more advanced). It just offers a different working style.
Maybe AI can help you. Or make you obsolete.
