40 minutes beginner guide to make complete sequence in DaVinci Resolve.

1. Course Introduction: Hi, I'm Derek. Recently I started making YouTube content and as a part of that journey, I had to learn how to use video editing software. After quite a bit of research, I decided to use the free version of dementia resolve. It has all the functionality you need to make quality video content. Now, having spent hundreds of hours working on videos, learning all the functions from tutorials, I found a workflow that is nice and simple and it's an easy way to build a clean, well put together sequence. In this tutorial, I'm going to share with you that workflow so that in just 40 minutes you're gonna be able to put together a quality video sequence with cuts, transitions, and texts and render it all in DaVinci Resolve. 2. Download and Install: So to get started, first, you're going to have to download Da Vinci resolve. If you already have DaVinci Resolve downloaded and installed, you can go ahead and skip this step. But if you don't open up a browser and navigate to Blackmagic Design.com slash products slash Da Vinci resolve. And you'll be greeted by this window. Go ahead and scroll down and click Download root Vinci Resolve free download. Now, we're gonna download Da Vinci Resolve 17. We're not going to worry about the beta or the studio version and download it for your operating system. I'm gonna be using Windows for this entire tutorial. So if you have Mac, it should be pretty close. You should still be able to follow along. But go ahead and click on it to get started, fill out the information here. Don't worry, you don't have to add any payment information. So there's no subscriptions. Just fill out the information, click Register and download. And once the file has downloaded, go ahead and open up the executable and get it installed. I'm not gonna go over installing Da Vinci resolve. Once you've downloaded the executable, just go ahead and open it up as smart wizard will install it for you. Once you have it installed, just go ahead and open up the file. 3. Start a New Project: After Da Vinci Resolve has loaded, you'll be greeted by this screen. You won't have this working photo of a folder here. You don't have to worry about this local database. That's just where files are going to be saved to. We're just going to start a new project and I'm going to name it test. You can name it whatever you want. So by default, DaVinci Resolve will open up into the cut screen. You can control which screen you're looking at down here. I'm not gonna go over all of these because I don't find all of them to be useful. And as a matter of fact, I don't find cut to be particularly useful. So soon as you open up the Vinci Resolve, go ahead and click down here on the edit screen. This is the screen that gives you the most functionality. This is where you can import media, manage your timeline at sequences, and this is basically where you're gonna be building everything individually resolved. So go ahead and navigate to the screen and we'll get started. So let's talk about this screen for a second. You have a lot of things going on, on this screen. So here's this window over here is your media pool. This is where you're going to be importing media to and managing all your files. Down here we have the toolbox and affects. You can manage these by clicking up here. This will open and close your media pool. This will open and close your effects. Over here. You have metadata and inspector. And if you turn off the inspector, you'll get a second viewer right here. So this is probably what you're gonna be seen by default. And this is your clips preview. This is your timeline preview that'll make more sense later as we get into timeline. And just as I closed it, this is your Inspector. We're not going to worry about that for now, but I'll touch on it a little bit later when I get into text. Lastly, here is your timeline, and this is really where you're going to be managing Most of the putting together the sequence. 4. Import Media: So the first step in getting started is to bring media into your media pool. This is where all the footage you capture from your camera or any sound effects or any music. You're going to want to bring it into your media pool here to stay organized. I like to keep a bit of a folder system. So over here you can see the folders. It'll start with master. If you right-click here, you can create a new bin. Bins are just folders. I'm going to create a couple of things here. I'm gonna create clips, and I'm going to create music. You can create as many folders as you want to stay organized. And now I'm going to open up the clips folder. And here's the Eclipse folder. I can right-click on this empty section here and click import media to bring in media. And from here, I'm gonna go ahead and navigate to where my Media is. Bringing some sample clips. You'll have this change project frame rate. Don't worry about this. Just clicked, don't change. Just for some context. The timeline has a frame rate base that if you bring in clips that are different frame rates from the timeline, it'll ask you if you want to change them, but you can change the clips frame rate individually as you want to. So don't worry about that. Once you have your media brought in, you can do a couple of things. By default, you have this thumbnail view, which is a nice preview. You can also view the metadata by clicking on this metadata view here. I don't find that too useful. And then you could also click the List View and you'll just get the list, but I like to keep it on the thumbnail view. I'm also going to go over here to my music section. I'm going to do the same thing. Important media. This time I'm just going to bring in some music that I have handy. And there it is. Now I have my music. 5. Optimize Media: So one of the first lessons I learned when I was using, learning how to use this tool was if you try to play a clip when you haven't, when you're just getting started. It's going to play back really bad depending on the quality of your machine. I happen to be running on a laptop. It's a little bit old and it's not great quality. So the playbacks pretty awful and it makes it almost impossible to put together any kind of a reasonable sequence. So there's a few things that you can do about it, but I'm going to show you the way that I've found to best optimize the playback. So the first thing I do to improve playback quality as I come up here to the top menu drop-down, this playback drop-down menu. And under timeline proxy mode, and go ahead and set it to quarter resolution. That's going to change the resolution that it plays back in the timeline. And the lower the resolution, obviously, the more clean the playback will be. Additionally, I'm gonna go back to the playback and select Render cache and turn it to user. This will just allow the machine to cash clips in memory, which will improve the playback of each time you play back a clip that has already been played. One thing to note about using Render cache is it does take up hard drive or hard drive space. So if you're running short on hard-drive space, you can always delete your Render cache. And actually at the, whenever you are finished project, I always delete all my Render cache because it just takes up too much hard-drive space. So I recommend doing that after you finished any project, just go to delete, render, crash, and click on all. And there's two main methodologies for really improving the quality of playback. There's something called Optimized media and there's something called proxy media. I'm going to show you how to use optimized media proximity to just never worked for me. So I'm not going to use it under Playback. You'll notice you use optimized media if available, and use proxy media if available. You can just have both of those checked on. What you're gonna do is you're going to select all these clips. Right-click, sorry, right-click and select generate optimized media. What this is gonna do is it's going to create basically a duplicate file with basically better settings so that it can improve playback. When you're playing back the media in your timeline. It takes awhile to create. So you're going to have to, depending on the quality and size of your clips, you're gonna have to wait for this to go and it'll take, take a minute. Additionally, these optimized media files take up a lot of space. So I'm going to show you how to delete those. That's another lesson I learned is if you don't go and delete your optimized media files after you've basically finished a project. It can really bogged down your machine as your hard drives fills up. So once this goes, once this completes, all come back and show you how to delete optimized media. So now my optimize media is just about finished generating. And now I open up a clip again and show you the playback is now smoother as you can see, which is fantastic. So that's what optimized media does. But as I mentioned, it takes up a ton of space. So I'm going to show you how to delete it. If you go down here to the bottom right of the screen, you'll see a little gear, my head maybe blocking it, but it's there. And you open that up and it'll come into master settings, scroll on down. And in here Working folders, you'll see a couple of different things. You'll see cash clip file locations and these. If you go ahead and click on Browse and you'll see where all your stuff is saved. So this is proxy media. I'm gonna go to videos and in cash clip, you'll see optimized media. This is where the files are saved. So just whenever you're done with your media, basically finishing a project, come in here and delete all of the files in this folder just to save hard drive space, It's going to save your life. Alright, so what cancel out of that? And now we have our optimized media. 6. Trim Clips: So the first step in putting together any sequence is really just knowing how to trim your clips, right? So we have all this media and generally we're going to have a lot more footage then we're going to want to actually put in our final sequence. So you can open any of these files by double-clicking on them in your media folder over here, and it'll pop it open in your clips video over here, your clips preview window. When you're in your clips preview window, you can play the clip. And let's just say you want to start a clip here, right? So if you click here on this little play arrow with the library named Mark in, it will basically create a starting point for that clip. And then you can find a nice ending point. Let's say we only want that much of the clip and we can do the exact opposite click on the mark out. And now this clip is trimmed to this size. But this clip is not actually in your sequence at all yet. It's just trimmed over here in the preview window. So I'm going to show you how to import this clip onto your timeline and make adjustments to it. So once you have the clip trimmed how you like it, There's a few different ways you can put it on the timeline. The easiest way. Just to click on it and drag it down into your timeline. And as you drag it down, you'll notice it creates a video track and audio track. That's because this media has both audio and video on it. And you'll notice that it only pull it brought in the clip that I trimmed over here. And you'll see that now it's in my timeline preview as well, because now I have a timeline. So that's not the only way I can trim a clip. This the nice thing is that you can also trim the clip on the timeline. If you count, if you move your cursor over to the end of the clip, you'll notice the cursor icon changes to this symbol. And if you click, you can then extend or change the ending of the clip to wherever you want. And the same thing for the beginning of the clip. So it's just another way to trim the clip while it's on your timeline, which is really nice. Additionally, if you want to bring only the video of the clip, and I'll just trim a separate section just to demonstrate, I can click on this little film reel icon here and then drag that onto my timeline. And you'll notice it only shows up as a piece of video. There's no audio attached to it. So I can drag and drop that onto my timeline. Like so. And then additionally, I can do the same with the audio by clicking on that little equalizer. So now I've just dragged in audio and video separately. So that's two different ways of getting your clips onto the timeline. Another way that you can do it is if you click on either any of these and you drag over to the timeline preview, you'll see a little pop-up menu come, which gives you a bunch of different options on ways to drop the clip in. I'm going to show you insert, because inserts probably the most useful. So on your timeline you have this orange arrow, you probably noticed it, but this is just your playback tracker and you can manipulate this on your preview. But I just use the timeline to manipulate it. And let's say I want it to drop a clip in in-between these two clips. Well, I can do that by well, if I tried to do that, for example, by dragging it down onto the timeline, you'll see it just overwrites those clips, right? And that's not what we want. We want to put it in between those two clips. So if I actually drag it over the timeline preview and then click Insert, it does just that. It drops it in between those two clips. So undo that. And it'll also, if your cursor is actually in the middle of a clip, it will actually split the clip and inserted in-between the split clip. So all very nice for bringing media onto your timeline if, because there's a lot of instances where you'll want to drop your clips in-between multiple clips. 7. Build Timeline: So now I'm going to talk a little bit about the timeline because this is really where you're going to do all your work. And what the first thing you'll notice is that there's a video tracks section here and an audio track section here. Now, you can have as many video and as many audio tracks as you want. So if you bring in any kind of media, let's go ahead and bring in this. See if I bring it onto this track. It'll create a video track two. And it'll create an audio track to because there's both video and audio that I'm bringing onto the timeline. If I just bring in a video clip, Let's open up this one. It'll just create a new video track. And same thing if I do it with just audio, I can either bring it onto one of the tracks that's already existing or I can create a new audio track. Okay, so go ahead and delete those. Handling these. So now I have multiple video and audio tracks and I can have as many as I want, and that's just a good way to manage the timeline. You can have a track for B-roll, for example, you can have a track for different sequences and an audio. You can have a track, for example, for music. So I'm going to keep my music on audio track three. And now you'll see it's pretty loud but it plays the music. So I'll show you actually on the timeline. You can actually adjust the volume of audio clips when you hover over an audio clip on this little line here, you can actually reduce the volume of the media. So I'm gonna go ahead and reduce that down, and let's just reduce it down 35-day DB. And now you can hear it playing underneath these clips, which is really nice. So let's talk about a couple of different ways that you can manipulate your clips in the timeline. So as I mentioned before, you can click on any clip. And if the clip has audio attached to it, you'll notice that it moves with that audio. And the reason that is is because these are linked when I brought them in, I brought them in from one piece of media that had audio and video connected. Now if I want to, I showed I could just bring the video and or I could just bring the audio in. But if I bring them in together and they're now linked, well, what if I want to manipulate them individually? Well, there's a button here, this little chain called Linked Selection. And if I click on that and de-select it so it's no longer highlighted white. And I click on either piece now I can manipulate them individually. But you'll notice that if I if I just move it onto a different track, that's no big deal. But if I move it off of the corresponding audio and video, you'll see this little red box here. And it just shows you how much time. It's distinct by. So that's kind of a nice feature. Most instances you're not really going to have any reason to distinct these. So just keep that in mind. So I'm gonna go ahead and bring a couple of little clips down onto my timeline just to demonstrate a few more things. So I'll bring that clip on. I actually want them linked. So we'll go like that. And we'll grab this one. And this one will just create a little pan and bring it on here. So now I have all these clips, most of them linked, this one is no longer linked. Put that at the end, so I don't have to worry about it that are on my timeline. And as I mentioned, you can adjust the length of these clips by grabbing the ending. But you'll notice that if I adjust any clip, I have to move them to create a tight timeline. Otherwise, I'll have these gaps. And if you'll notice on the playback, every time there's a gaffe, the screen goes black. And so we don't want a bunch of black, so you have to keep your clips close together. But that becomes a pain because if you're trying to edit your clips, you don't want to have these gaps. And again, what if I want to extend this clip? And I try to extend it, I'm just overriding the clip in front of it. So a way to edit the clip without impacting the timeline is by using this Trim Edit Mode. So right now this orange mouse is selected. This is the selection mode. The selection mode allows me to grab clips and move them around and adjust the clips. But it will adjust the clip and overwrite the timeline, or it won't make any real changes to the timeline. But if I click on trim edit selection mode and I do the same kind of trim edit. You'll notice it now moves the timeline. So I'm maintaining the rest of the timeline while making edits to this clip. So that's really nice if I want to make adjustments to a clip and not worry about the timeline being either overwritten or leaving gaps in the timeline, right? So if I shorten the clip, it no longer is a gap there. It actually ties and moves the whole timeline with the clip that I'm shortening. And if I extend, it, extends the whole timeline. So that's a really nice function of the Trim Edit Mode. One other function of the Trim Edit Mode is if I have a clip and I liked the length of the clip, right? Like let's say I would like the length of this clip, but I don't like what's in the clip. I can click when it shows this bracketed two arrows. And I can change the beginning and ending of the clip without changing the length of the clip. And if you look up in the timeline preview, you can see on the top-left is the beginning where the clip starts. The top-right is where the clip ends. The bottom-left is actually the end of the last clip. The previous clip, sorry. So this clip, the bottom-right, would be the beginning of the subsequent clip. So it makes it really nice to set things up how you want them. And that's Trim Edit Mode, so very useful. These are the two main tools I use in timeline to make adjustments to the timeline. I don't use dynamic trim mode, and I do use Blade Edit Mode. Blade Edit Mode, the only function that I use for it. And you'll, you'll see it just allows you to add a cut. So I just cut that clip into two separate pieces and now I can edit each of those how I want to phone when I cut the music, I can do the same. And you can make as many cuts as you want. But just note every cut is just another place where you can manipulate the timeline from. You can do the same thing with trim edit, so on and so forth. So now I have this clip and it's just kind of repeats itself. 8. Add Transitions: So let's say now I have a sequence of clips that are trimmed to the length that I'm happy with when we started with this graffiti on the wall and then we go to these building pants, and I'm happy with that. And then we go to this walk on seats sequence. Even though it plays twice. I'm happy with that. Let's say I'm happy with my sequence, but let's say I don't like how this goes from this graffiti wall to this building. It's a jerky transition rate. It's not it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a cut transition. Essentially it goes from one to the next. Well, let's say I want to transition instead. Let's say I want something fancy. Well, Da Vinci Resolve comes with a lot of nice fancy transitions that you can use right at the gate, even in the free version. So we have our Effects panel opened up, as I mentioned in the beginning. And our new this toolbox, you'll see us section here called video transitions. And if you click on video transitions, you'll notice all these video transitions. There's so many and you can use any of these. I'm not going to go through all of them, but I'll demonstrate how to use them. So for demonstration, I'm just going to use barn door. One cool function is you can actually preview the transition by sliding your cursor over as if it's like a play scroll over the transition down here. And that's pretty cool. So you can see what barn door looks like. You can see what pushed looks like. So we're going to grab barn door and how you can how you do it. As with everything else, does you just click it and drag it onto your timeline now, you have to drag it over a video clip. You cannot drag it over an audio clip. You can't drag it over nothing. But even though if you hold it over video clip, it may look like it's gonna be brought onto the video clip. It actually only will if it's at the end of one clip or the beginning of another clip, or you can actually drag it over the two clips. And that's just going to basically change where their transition place. Here it plays over the end of this clip. Here it plays over the end and beginning of the next clip in here it plays over the beginning of the next clip. So I'm just gonna go ahead and drag it over both. Handle, play it so you can see it. And you'll notice that it actually didn't play very smoothly there. And that's because these transitions take a processing power. Because I have a cache enabled. If I play it a few times, you'll notice it was smooth ER that time. It'll render into the cache and then it'll be, it'll be a nice smooth playback. But depending on the quality of your machine, it might not be so smooth because some of these, like really fancy ones, like somebody just dissolves and blurs and warps. They can take up enough processing power to where it won't play smoothly in your preview. But just know when you render the video, it will play smoothly. So that's something to note. If you, if you see a transition and it plays back poorly, don't assume that it's going to play back poorly after you've rendered it. And let's say you don't like the length of this. This is, this transition just takes too long. Well, you can grab either end of the transition, just hover over until you see this cursor and go ahead and extend it out however you want. I'll make this longer and you'll see it's a slower, longer barn door transition still has to render, but now you can see a nice slow. So that's how you create a video transition. Now, just like with video transitions, you can also have audio transitions, but audio transitions are a little simpler because really with audio transitions, you're only going to be transitioning between volume. There's not a lot. You can transition between different audio tracks to write. You can transition between one music track to another, but I'm just going to show you volume because that's the transition that I want to go over. So let's say, let's say I have this which is at minus 11 dB, it's a little bit louder. This at minus 35. So play that so you can kind of hear it. You see the volume just jumps up. Well, if I want to smooth that out, I can just drag a crossfade onto the audio clip. And just like I showed before, I can drag it over both clips or at the beginning of a clip where the end of another clip, I tend to, if I'm ramping up volume, drag it onto the clip that I'm ramping up. Or if I'm going quiet, I'll drag it onto the part that's ending. So here let's see what that sounds like. It's a little bit smoother and we'll do the same. I'll show you here. I'm going to add a cut and here, and then I'm going to lower this volumes so you can kinda get what that sounds like. And then I'll add a crossfade here. So this is going to go from loud to quiet before it hits this super quiet, basically very quiet part right here. Hear what that sounds like. It's a nice way to smooth out the sound and make it not so jerky. So that's video and audio transitions. 9. Add Text: Another cool function of the effects tools is you can add text. So if you click here down on titles under your toolbox, you'll notice a ton of different texts and I'm not gonna go over all of these. You can mess around with them as you like, but I will show you the most basic, while the second most Baker texts is the most basic. I'm going to show you texts plus because there's a little bit more functionality and texts bus, like everything else, you just click and drag it over your timeline. It has to be on a video section. You can't drag it onto audio. And you'll see by default, when you drag it on, it will appear wherever you place it, and it will end where it ends. So you can just like a video clip, you can change that where it starts, where it ends, however you want it. And this is where you need to know the inspector to make adjustments because right now it just says Custom title. Obviously that's not what we want. So if we open up the inspector up here in the top right, this is where we can make an adjustment to the title, what it says. So I'm just going to say this is a test. And here you can change the font pretty self-explanatory. It's nice that it's the Dynamic preview. So we'll just change it to that other functions down here, color, size, tracking lines because I'm not going to go over all of these. You can mess around. It'll just change what it looks like in texts. Plus, you have all of these additional settings. I'm not gonna go over those either shading image and stuff like that. Just know that you can add cool effects to this text and whatnot. But what I will show you is how you can position the texts. Because right now it's obviously in the center. So if you go to settings and you see transform here, you can change the position by manipulating the x-axis and the y-axis. So that's really nice for manipulating the position. You can do all kinds of other stuff like rotate it and flip it and whatever. But again, mess with these, Have fun. You can do a lot with text. So we're going to close that inspector. One thing, other cool thing you can do with texts plus, and you can't do this with every one of these, but you can do it with text and text plus, you can add video transitions. Let's say you wanted to like a barn door or let's do a push. So you can see now that the texts pushes on, I know it loaded very slowly, but you can see That's the transition. Now the text moves in from the side. You can mess around with all of these transitions on your text just as much as you like. So that's a really nice way of adding some text to your video, which is great. And by default you'll have this transparent background so you can see the video oh, and the text will be on top of your video. So as far as putting together a sequence that's really all you need to know. You can use this timeline, put together a great sequence just like that. Use the tracks to manage your audio and your video, add text, add transitions, and build a nice sequence. Once you've finished building the sequence, however you like, there's a couple of things that you might want to do. Now at the beginning I said I would talk a little bit about these and I will now these different screens. So media is pretty self-explanatory. It's just where you can view many, it's just another screen. I really don't use it. I mentioned the cut. This is where we started. You can cut and edit clips in here. I don't use it either. You can really do everything from the edit screen. This is fusion, and this allows you to add effects. It's more advanced. I'm not going to touch on in this tutorial. Also, this is color. This is where you can make all kinds of color corrections. Again, it's really advanced. I'm not going to touch on in this tutorial, but I will touch on this. This is fair light and fair light is where you can manage your audio. And there's just a few steps that I'm going to show you that can really make the audio a little bit better. This is just what I found through my research. There's a lot more functionality to this. But I'm just going to walk you through my workflow. 10. Enhance Audio: So the first thing I do is I normalize the audio. You can normalize it in groups that it basically it just evens out the volume levels. So I'm just going to select all my audio on audio one track right-click and click on normalize audio levels. I use true peak at negative two DTP. I don't really know what this means. I just saw this as the settings you want to use. So go ahead and steal that from here. Click on normalize and not on normalize the audio levels. You won't see anything visually change, but just know that that normalize those audio levels. I don't do this for the music because you can make adjustments to the music as you like, but I like to leave the music alone for the most part. Now, the next thing I do is I add a noise reduction effect to my audio tracks. Generally I use this for speaking audience. So like talking head stuff, I don't have any talking head here, but I'm just going to demonstrate. So here you have your fair light effects on our audio effects. And I'm just gonna go to noise reduction and I'm just going to drag that over onto my audio track one. You can click on auto Speech Mode. I just leave it on manual and I click on Learn. And we'll make the adjustments that I want. I'm not going to take the time to deep dive what all of these do and how they sound. But this is just the process that I use to make my audio sound a way that I find acceptable. You'll notice over here on audio input one, you'll now see an effect here that's noise reduction. It's not on audio input to its only on audio input one, I can click it to reopen up the noise reduction menu, but I don't mess with that. Next, I click on Dynamics and I add a compressor. And I'm not going to touch on too much what this will do. But when you play it back and you see the, change the threshold. To see this gain reduction. Here, I'm going to stop it. You'll see a gain reduction meter come in here. And what I found out from many tutorials is that you want to keep this gain reduction at a maximum of about negative three to negative five decibels where it peaks. And so that's just what I look for. I play the audio and I don't have much audio to work with, but I'm going to play that. And I'm just gonna make sure that that doesn't go too far past that negative three to negative 5.10, it looks pretty good. So I'm going to leave it there. It did peak a little bit there, so I might turn it down a little bit. You can play around with it and just try to keep that Daniel reduction in that level and that will make it sound good. I can also sometimes use the limiter. This just changes the top and volume. So you can change the limit that you want. Maximum volume output. But you can mess with these a little bit more too, if you'd like. So that's what I do with data in Dynamics. And then lastly, if you know a lot more about this stuff, just go ahead and do whatever you can with it. But I've been told for speech under the equalizer, you just want to add band one and change the frequency to a right around a 100. It's pretty finicky right now. I don't want to go 200 somewhere in that range because this will basically cut off frequencies below a 100 hertz. And what I've heard is that the speaking voice doesn't really have many frequencies below that. And I'm going to add a band six and leave it at this 12.9 kilohertz. That's just going to cut out really high-end frequencies. And that's really all I do with the equalizer on here. It's good for speech. Once again, you can mess around with this to your heart's content, especially if you're an audio file and you know a lot about this. And so that's really the only adjustments I'm making fair light for my purposes. 11. Render Sequence: Once I've made all my adjustments in fair light, and I have my sequence, how I like it. The sound is good. I've changed all the levels to where I want them to be and I'm happy with the playback. I'll play it back a few times and preview it and make sure it's what I like. I can come down here to the deliver window. And this is basically where you do your rendering. This is where you make all of the settings for the video decisions. You'll notice here it's 24 frames per second. This is the resolution, here's the format and codec and whatnot. And you're gonna wanna do this for whatever video format you're using. I don't know a lot about this, but I do know that I use it mostly for YouTube. So I click on YouTube. But so by clicking on YouTube, it changes all these settings to what YouTube likes. But I don't stay on YouTube. I come back to Custom. I've learned this as a tutorial, and I change this quality, restrict bps to 40 thousand. I've heard 30 to 40 thousand is good for that. I like to make it in high resolution ultra HD. And then everything else is gotten from the YouTube settings. And then you can change the file path to whatever you want your file path to be. I'll leave it there and I'll change the name to test. And then you can add this to your render queue at high resolution render. So this is because I just changed the resolution ultra HD and just say add. And then you can click on Render all. And it will go ahead and render all of these into a single click. So all of these clips that are brought in, all these separate clips and turned into this nice sequence will now be put together in a single video file that'll be named test with these settings and dropped into this folder. And this sequence is obviously nothing. It's going to have a bunch of music with no video and just a few things, but that's basically the workflow. Rendering takes awhile. Just note that that's going to take awhile. And note that you're going to have to have the available hard drive space to complete the Render because it's going to be creating a video file. So once again, just manage your hard-drive space. And once this completes, you'll have a video file that you can upload to YouTube or social media or wherever you want to put it, or just for your own purposes. And that's really how you build a sequence. 12. Review and Project: So now let's take a look at a completed sequence. This is actually the introductory in sequence for this video that I put together. I just wanted to go over it to kinda talk about what my process was with building this. So I started by creating some folders and bringing in my media clips. I had some talking head stuff and I dragged it onto the timeline in the order that I wanted to and I made some cuts just so that I have the speaking parts that I wanted to. So after bringing in my footage and trimming it and cutting it the way I liked. I decided to add in some text elements. The first one I added in was this nice slide in text element. And you can see that here. I believe it's here. Simple two line box. That's the one. I thought that was pretty neat. So I brought that one over and made it the size I liked. And then over here in the Inspector, I changed the text the way I liked it. Pretty straightforward. And I added in a B-roll clip that I recorded off the laptop of my YouTube page. And I'll show you real quick the way I made it kinda have this look to it was I'm managed the position and the transform of the pitch and the Ya just slightly. So you can see here, this kind of changes the pitch and the, pretty dramatically. And I added in a filter as well that I thought was kinda neat. And it's one of the free filters that you can actually use called Film damage. So in the free version of Da Vinci Resolve, you'll notice like if you go down here to like film grain, it shows Da Vinci Resolve Studio. That means you can't use it unless you get the paid version, but film damage was available, so I decided to use it. Then I grabbed some stock footage that match the text and threw it over. As well as grabbing another screen cap of de Vinci resolve. In this text, I went over and change the opacity a little bit over here so that it doesn't interrupt the sequence as much. Left it pretty plain otherwise. And then I added this cool Flippen text effect, which is over here under fusion title is which one is it? Here it is sliding from center line. So I added in this one, I thought it looked pretty cool. And you can see over here on her title, they give you two different boxes so you can edit those separately, adjust them the way you like. I added motion blur. So it kind of adds this cool effect to it. And additionally, because it looks so cool, I decided to add some sound effects. So I have my stock footage here. I plan on adding music, but I decided against it. So I had a music folder setup, but here I had some sound effects. I don't want to play that really quick. You probably remember it from the sequence, but you would see that workflow so that in just 40 minutes you're gonna be able to put together printing quality. And then my final sequence, I decided to be literal and added a cut. When I said Cut, transition on top of that. So here's the transition. You can see it right there, Martin door transition. And then text. And this little effect of the text here is actually another effects under Filter. I scroll down here and I used camera shake, this little thing. So makes it shake a little, which is kind of a fun thing again. And then I find I just do a little dip there resolved by dragging the transition out. So that's how you put together a sequence using the tips that I showed you in the tutorial. And I think it looks pretty good. I hope you do too since you're taking this course, I'm assuming that the intro was not too bad. And now you should be able to do exactly the same.
