The zoomed waveform of course scrolls as we play around. It displays, name says it all, a zoomed audio waveform as an overlay on the video, so we can see both video and waveform information at the same time. We can activate this in our source viewer menu. This option is kind of hidden, and is also quite simple, but I just love it and use it every time: Show Zoomed Audio Waveforms. Now, for example, if you are coming from Final Cut Pro X, and prefer to work with just one viewer, acting as source or edit depending on where you click, Resolve also allows this. The inter-face found in the Edit tab in Resolve is a familiar inter-face, and we can work with it easily:ĭaVinci Resolve familiar editing inter-face.As you can see in the image above, we have a Media Pool to display our clips and bins, two viewers (source and edit), and a Timeline. If you already edit with Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro 7, or even Final Cut Pro X, the transition to edit in DaVinci Resolve is really very simple. It’s a really useful, powerful thing to do, and it shines in big fiction and documentary projects. We could, for example, use a Smart Bin to group: all clips shot with a GH5, at night, handheld, good take, and this or that character… Smart Bins can be used to group automatically clips based on one or more search criteria. Metadata Window The Metadata window shows the properties of the clips we select: codec, resolution, frame-rate, audio channels, etc.īut also, it offers those fields you see in the image, to add information to the clips: Description, Comments, Color, Scene, Take, Angle, Shot Type, Date Recorded, Camera, and a lot more.Īnd another thing I like a lot: we can use keywords to identify any element of interest in a clip: character names, themes, movements… Anything we need to highlight, so we can locate and group based on those words, short of what Final Cut Pro X can do.Īnd here’s where it gets really interesting: DaVinci Resolve offers Smart Bins. There are many ways to do this, but I specially like the Metadata window, found in the Media, Edit, Fusion and Fairlight tabs. Metadata.ĭaVinci Resolve is dream come true when it comes to logging and organising rushes. That said, the implementation and design in Resolve really shines. Obviously, some of these things are also present in other programs (Avid Media Composer, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X). In this article I want to focus on the editing tools in DaVinci Resolve, and show you 10 ideas, tools and features to make your editing fly!
