Cut page missing from the new Beginner's Guide 18

PostWed Feb 08, 2023 12:17 pm

The Cut page section is missing from the new Beginner's Guide 18 book. Is that on purpose?

I sent an email to BMD and this was their response:

Hello Renan,



That is correct – the section on the Cut page is being updated and will be uploaded at a later date.



Thank you for your understanding,

For a chubby, old, disabled, retired guy that just wants to get a very basic, VERY BASIC knowledge of DaVinci Resolve what is the best source. A Youtube Video or a Web Page? I don't care what it is. I am never going to make a movie. I just want to learn the basics of cutting, transitions, texts and outputting. Not much more.

What is the best introductory source?

Yes, indeed it is. He does training at several levels, and all is excellent but his beginner level stuff is very clear and easy to follow. I used him a lot in my early days, and still dip in when I need a quick clear refresh on something. I have also used Ripple Training (which costs) but, honestly, Blackmagic's own guides are the best thing I've used - and free.

They may be a bit deep for what you want, so take a look at Casey.

Hope it helps - enjoy!

A lot of people have helped me over the years on my journey. It’s the least I can do to put something back. I hope you get to where you want to with Resolve, it’s a terrific tool.

Thank you again, and, again, Casey's video was exactly what I need. I did start one of the Blackmagic videos. And very soon into it he was using terms that I have no idea what he was talking about. "B" roll or "B material" and other terms. Many of them. It was billed as a beginning video and I had no idea what he was talking aabout. :? :x

I'm now back to Cassey ;)

Really the Blackmagic videos are to prep you for their guides which teach you toward taking the Blackmagic competence exams, so I can see they are probably beyond the level that you are looking for at the moment. I hope (and I’m sure Blackmagic do too!) that you get sufficiently inspired to progress further!

Good luck with it at whatever level you settle - I’m sure you’ll enjoy it

Page 145/146 mentions the option in the menu "b) Timeline > Decompose Compound Clips On Edit"
but that option appears under the Edit menu, not the Timeline menu.

I was just having the "Media Offline" issue trying to get started on the Fairlight tutorial and found this topic. The solution is to right click in the Project Manager and "Restore Project Archive..." rather than just opening the project. This allows you to select the .dra folder rather than the .drp project file and after that all should be well.

Hello new user here.

First of all thank you for creating these training ressources, they really are the best.

There's just a small problem I'm having with the render cache and I'm not sure what's causing this.

I've been completing the training video and I'm currently at the "Visual Effects in the Edit Page" one in the edit section. At around 7:30 in the video we finish moving the archive 4 compound clip using the transform.

When I try to run the timeline to see the result I get either poor performance(Render cache=None) or sometimes I'll see a couple of frames from archive 4 into archive 2(Render cache = user or smart). I can get it to work correctly sometimes by disabling and enabling video tracks, but I'm wondering why this is happening. Also while i was enabling/disabling tracks to see what happened, some frames of archive 3 clip started playing in the background where the Aerial_Alaska_Sunrise clip is playing. Has anyone encountered this before? I'm on windows, in case it helps.

Thanks!

Caching is a bit flaky in 18.6. Try deleting the cache completely and try again.

Sorry I forgot to mention I did that when I was trying to figure it out. If it gets fixed in a future update I can probably just wait for the next version. Or should I file a bug report? Not sure where I would do that though.

In the DaVinci Resolve 17 Edit Training - Visual Effects in the Edit Page tutorial, when it gets to the 3D keyer part at the 9 minutes mark, the foreground clip is stable. But when I downloaded and opened the project material on my computer, the foreground clip is moving and I can't seem to match with the background clip as I play the composite. Just starting out so I am wondering how to solve this and where do I download the correct material if there is any?

Hello, Ladies & Gentlemen;

I admit that - due to a serious illness - I only just returned to using Resolve after almost 4 years, so my question may be naïve - please bear with me. I'm browsing through the BMD's Colorist Guide and have encountered an exercise which - at least on my system (otherwise performing perfectly, given its age) is impossible to bring expected results: described in the "Understanding Timeline Resolutions and Sizing Palette Modes" Chapter, under "Sampling Visual Data with Node Sizing" subtitle (starting on the Page 277) there is a simple example of performing the Node mode sizing inside just 2 layers' mixer, of which one also contains a simple masking with a linear window. Before I go any more detailed on this, here are some important questions to you:

- is it already identified as containing an error in the description of the steps required?
- if not, could someone please recreate it and say whether actually there is an error and you also cannot end up with the exercise's intended output (in which case I'm dumb, and sorry for wasting your time :))
- finally: if most of you (and by "most" I mean those more fluent with Resolve's CC) are able to end up with the exercise's intended result (which seems really simple indeed), could I humbly ask someone to try and re-word the (also seemingly straightforward) description of steps required for me, so that I could actually learn something through understanding which part I didn't understand.... TIA

PS

Just to let you know that to get closer to the intended result I had to change the Composite mode to Difference (from Normal), and use quite substantially different Pan/Tilt/Zoom values in both layers in the Layer Mixer. Still cannot get rid of artefacting along the vertical division line between the two views though.

Anyone successful using the Tutorial suggested values?

If you ignore the specific values and simply try to reproduce the images on pg 279, step 17, you should be able to achieve that without changing the compositing mode (leave it as Normal).

Note that you should be using node resizing mode for both the Backplate and Crop nodes although this doesn't seem to be spelled-out explicitly.

Yeah. I was sort of able to recreate the exercise in Normal compositing mode, even though it required much more tweaking with Node sizing, exposure levels etc. than Difference mode. What I wasn't able to get rid of are the vertical "echo" lines along the two views border (most visible on the bright fender in the right view; I exaggerated the contrast so it's easily visible). Is it Resolve's glitch, or my fault?

Re: New training materials on the Blackmagic Design web site

I'm not seeing that in my tests, but I'm not using that footage. If I download the media at some point I'll give it a try but that looks very odd. Sorry I can't be of more help.

One of our students made me aware that the Live Preview of the Layer Mixer Node doesn't work as described on page 173 under point 20 (the Tip) in the Colorist Guide. Wrong description or a bug in 18.6.5?
There are a few more things that are not consistent with version 18, e.g. the mode selection for the split view, which is not in the upper right corner any more, but in the fold-out men directly under the icons (see page 239).
Maybe AI can help you. Or make you obsolete.
