Thanks for watching and I look forward to meeting you in the next class, Bye. 4. Opening and Creating a Project: All right, so in the last class we talked about how to download and install, venture resolve. And in this class we're going to look at how to open aventsolve and create a project. Okay, to open Aventsolve, all you need is to come down straight to the launch part. Over here you can just click on the launch part and you can go ahead and search for Aventsolve. You can see it over here, vents. Okay. So you can just click to kick start it. This is Aventsolve 18.6 Again, this is the one we're going to work on for this tutorial. Once it's finished opening you can see it's going to bring you over to this very platform. This is where you can create a new project. With this red button, you can just click to start creating a new project. These are recently used project projects that you've worked on previously. You'll be able to see them over here. Now you have the option to add in a folder and then you can work on a particular folder within this particular project panels or within this local drive, You can create a folder and you can change the view of the folders from here. You can increase or decrease the sizing of the folders, okay? Very easily, you can increase or decrease the sizing. Over here, you can sort according to date, timeline, and so on. You can arrange them accordingly. Then over here, you can change the looks also from the thumbnail view to the least view. You can easily change that if you're interested. But I think I kind of prefer the thumbnail view because it's easy to look at what you're working on and you can easily hover over to have an understanding into what the project is all about. Then down here, you can directly search for a particular project. If you have multiple projects, you can easily search for a specific one and start working on it directly. Alternatively, in addition to using this new project, you can come down here and create a new project. And you can start creating new projects also from scratch. Or you can click to open and just kick start. And later on you can name the project, okay. And then you have the option to save your work on the cloud and you can work on the network as well. But for this tutorial, everything is going to be on the local drive and you're going to have everything done on your local drive. Let's start by creating a project, by just coming over Share. You can just click on this new project, and then we can give a project a name, for example. Let's call this Spending Some Time with Yourself. Okay, let's call this project Spending Some Time With Yourself. And we'll just go ahead and click on Create. And you can see this is the title of the project, Spending Some Time With Yourself. Okay, so this is a brand new diventuresolve page that contains everything. Don't look confused or don't worry in case if the platform does not look exactly like your own because we have about seven pages over here that we can take a look. Okay, Sometimes you can open Venturesolve and need to start from the editing page, and your platform will look something like this. And right now it is at the court page and need to look something like this, a bit different and you get confused. Don't get confused because we learn about all of them and each of their function and features and why are the arranged in this form. Okay? But the basic one, general one is to stay at the edit men throughout your editing. I'll show you how to use all of this in detail, but then before we start creating anything in the ventures off, the first thing I usually do is to come straight down to the bottom right and you see this gear icon. You can just click on it to have the general settings. Okay, This is general project settings. Okay, so the first thing I used to check is to make sure the timeline resolution is 1920 by 1080, which is the HD format. If it's not, you can always change it. You can click to change it. And then the frame rate usually go for 29.97 or 30 frame rate per second. I can allow this for the timeline frame rate and then you can always change from here as well. The video format you can change, but this is the default I have. And then other me scaling, color grading, color management, general options, camera rule. I don't change anything from here except if you have a specific case, you can go ahead and check and then change it accordingly. But generally, I just checked the master settings over here to make sure I get the 1920 by 1080 and then the frame rate, I set it accordingly. Okay. So if you're done with this, you can just go ahead and click Conceive. And I think you're basically done on how to open and create a project within damage resolve, so this conclusive tutorial. In the next class, we're going to look at the general overview of the Venturesove Platform. What is what and why is it there and what is its basic function? Okay, We're going to learn about everything that has to do with aventisolve and the key features that we can have in this confusing background or platform, okay? It's very easy to understand, Just follow along, and at the end of the next class, we're going to familiarize ourselves with most of the key features of the interface. So until next time, thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class, Bye. 5. General Overview of the Interface: Right. Hello and welcome back. In the last class, we talked about how to open and create a project within resolve, okay? And in this class, we are going to look at the general overview of the resolve platform. Okay? So when you open resolves, this is the platform you will be welcomed with. This is complete resolve, so don't be intimidated by the looks and the complex nature of the software. It's very simple once you follow this step by step tutorial. Now by default, you'll be welcome to the first page on resolve, which is cut, okay. So you can see you'll be welcome to this page. This is usually the default, but it's not usually the best page to start working on. So from the name, this is the main area where you do all your cuttings and joinings and all of the trimmings and so on. You can cut different kind of clips across different kind of things. You can make a lot of corrections over here. So what you see here is you can see to the left here you have the video pool over here. This is where you import all of your media and you can drag and drop them into the timeline as usual. This is the preview canvas where you preview whatever you have in the timeline. As you double click on certain clips, also you'll be able to have a preview of them also in the timeline. So there are a number of things here which we're going to look at as we move on. This is going to help you in changing the view of the media that you have, either using the thuminal view or you can use the list view, or you can sort the media that you have accordingly, or you can search directly from here. All right, so over here you have other controls, like you can change the view of the timeline and so on. You can just slit around with this and here you can change the different kind of aspect ratios if you're interested. But we've shown you basically how to set up the aspect ratio, but if you want to change anything, you can change also from here. And these are some of the other looks of the timeline. Okay, You can change, you can change the source clip and so on. And over here you have the proxy setence in cases where you want to use proxy. Maybe later I'll show you how to use proxy to minimize the sizing of your footage in case of when you're dealing with four K or thereabout. And then over here you have this time line resolution. You can work on different resolutions from the time line that you have created. Then over here you have the coloreds. Okay? If you're used to resolve, you understand that coloration is done in a different way than most of the other software. But I will show you how to do it. But this is the audiometer that you can always hear about your audio. And then up here you have the quick export. I'm going to show you how to export, also resolved, there's a particular page dedicated to that and then this full screen mode. And this inspector, the inspector is good because it gives you the properties of any clip or any media that you've touched on the timeline, you'll be able to see its property speed, a video, audio image, or even some effects that you can always easily attach and control. You have a bunch of controls over here, transitions and so on, images, you can have a lot of controls over them here at the inspector. So this is one of the most important tabs. Now over here you have the sync tap in cases if you want to synchronize things. And you have transitions, the bunch of transitions that are available on resolve, which we're going to look at each and every one of them. And as you hover over any, you'll be able to see the effect it's going to have on your video. So if you select it, you can just easily go on and add it. Okay, and you have a lot of titles. We'll learn how to play with titles and text and so on. And how to customize things accordingly. All the text editing features will learn about them in the tutorials. Then we have effects. The range of effects that we have resolve a lot of them and equally this one. As you hover over, you'll be able to see the effect it's going to have on your video. All right, and then we can always come back to the media pool where we import everything. And then down here we have a bunch of other controls, like how to append your media into the timeline, how to insert or make quick replace. We learn about this as we go on in the editorial. Over here you have the video and audio only format. If you want to during the editing to just import video audio, you can do that. And here are some bunch of other simple controls like looping of the video clip, moving one step, or moving to the last frame, or to the first frame. You can do all this from here, okay? And then down here is the main time line. This is the playhead. As you know, you can always move with the playhead as you bring in your media. You can always play around with the playhead across. Okay, So there are other things that we can talk about, but this is the cut page. The other page, like you can see, there are seven pages. The first one is usually the media. This is where you deal with all of your media. Here we have the local drives that you have connected to your PC. You can search from the available local drives from here you can search for media directly, and then you, from here, import it into the timeline or you can on your own. Define a particular location from here. Like if I want, at any given point to go to my desktop, I can set a new location and I can just go ahead and call it Is A Desktop. And I can just click on Open. And anytime I want to refer to my desktop, I don't have to be going through the folders, going through the sub folders and be searching. I can just go ahead, come straight to the point and I'll find my desktop over here. So once I click, I'll be able to see all the folders in my desktop. And then down here you have the same control. You have your media pool over here. The cloning tool, you have it here. The arrangement, like we said, we can change the arrangement from list view to the thummil view, which I prefer, the same way, nearly the same looks. You have the audio settings and the meta data as well as the inspector and capture feature. We look at how to capture videos and audios will resolve as we move on in this class. And then down here you have the same media pool. You can always bring down your media and arrange them accordingly. So this is about the media page. Over here, you deal with importing and managing your media from the media page. The cutting is just for you to deal with the cuttings of all your footage. You can just cart, cart things over here. There are a bunch of controls that you can only deal with cuttings. From here you can just cut your things. The next page which is the most important in resolve is the edit page. In edit page, this is where you spend most of your time, is in the edit page, you can have all you need to edit your footage. Everything is being found here. Okay. So you can just stuck around and you have a bunch of controls, most of the features, you can have access to them directly. You have the same media pool and you have effects and indexing. You have sound library. If you're interested in having access to the sound library, you can have your tools over here. The texting, the favorite tools, you can find them over here. Same way you have the preview panel and then the inspector property. Okay, You have the mixer in case if you want to just directly access your audio and the quick export everything, you can have access to them directly from the edit menu. Down here you have a bunch of controls in terms of editing. You have more controls here that you can use, which we want to show as we move on here. You can zoom in and out in the timeline. You can change the views. And over here also, you can change the view of the clips that you have within the timeline. You can make them the thornal view. You'll be able to see a preview if you don't want. You can be able to make all clip view without any previews to minimize the sizing and to promote performance of the system. This is edit, we're going to look at that in detail. This is fusion. Fusion is actually something like the after effects of Adb Premiere Pro. If you have used Adb Premiere Pro, this is like the after effects version of it. You do all of your composition, all of your animations and V effects. You can do all of them from here. Okay. There are a bunch of controls. We're going to look at some of the key features that you need to carry out some very basic things over here. Here. Also, you can have the access to your basic media, pool effects and clips and so on and even notes. You can have access to them directly. All right, so we'll look in brief how to use some of these pages. Okay? And then next we have the color page. And the color is really a little bit of intimidating or you don't have to be intimidated because there are a lot of things that you can learn and it's very easy when you know how to play out the key features. But you'll have to understand that there are key important things that you get to know as regards the basics. So over here you have the primary color with which are situated here. We have the custom calves that you play around with, and then we have the view controls over here. And then we have key frames, the same way we have a timeline where we can preview. And we have a node portion where we can situate our clips in nodes. So we'll be able to add different kind of properties and be able to visualize them in different nodes and how they function. All right, and then we have access to effects and light box also if you're interested in having access to light box. And then the same way you have your other features over here, you can check out the clips, media pool and so on. Can always refer to your media from here directly. So there are a bunch of things to learn, there are a bunch of things to do from the color wheel. So resolve is designed in such a way that you can always work on each of the pages. If you want to work on color, you can just go ahead and go to color page and work on it. If it's on Fusion, you can go to Fusion. If it's edit you can just stay directly on edit. Okay? The next page is Fare light. Fire light is actually designed for audio audio management, okay? You can do everything audio from compression to adding different kind of effects in your audio, noise removal, reverb, you can do all sorts of things from here. Fare Light is designed purposely for audio mixing and audio management. You can do everything from this fare light. Okay. We're going to look at in detail, how to use fare light for your audio management and how to make sure that we get the best professional looking audio within the firelight. Okay. And then lastly, we have the deliver page. As the name implies, deliver means just like exporting. Okay. So you export, video, all your creations from the deliver page. You come here, you have a bunch of presets. You can have H 264, the Master and H Hyper deck and so on. You can have different kind of actions if you want. You can go with the custom export settings where you have to define the name of the project, you have to define the location where you want to save it, and then define what kind of export you want to do. Is the video export, audio export, or file export. You can just square ahead and specify some of these key features, the frame rates and so on, which if you have defined at the beginning you don't need to specify most of them. But then just to confirm, you have to make sure you go through the sentence if you want. You can go through the advanced settence as well. There are a bunch of other things which basically, I don't touch most of the things I find at the normal setence you can set on your own. All right, so look at the details, how we can go ahead and just bring out the best quality. In our video, we'll learn how to export in various formats from resolve. So this is a bit about the general overview of the platform. Okay, and down here at the top right, you can see the rendering que all of your work that you have. You'll be able to see them over here. You can export more than one file and you'll be able to see the queuing over here. Okay, at the bottom left, over here. This is when you can always refer to the home tab. You can see projects, you can see timelines that you've created and you'll be able to open and work on different projects. Okay, so I think this does it on this tutorial on how to understanding the general overview of the resolve platform, what is it and what are some of the key features that you need to understand and how to use them. As we move on with this class, you will understand the basics of how to use most of these features. So in the next class, we are going to look at how to import and manage our media within Dvj Resolve. So until next time. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 6. Importing Media and Creating Timeline: All right, so in the last class we talked about the general overview of the resolve platform. Okay? The interface. We've looked at all the pages that we are supposed to work with through districtorial. In this class we're going to learn how to import media and manage media and even create a timeline. Okay? Because resolve has this feature that you can be able to create multiple timelines and you can work on different projects using the timelines that you've assigned. So I'm going to show you in detail how to do that. So to import media, you have to be at the media tab. Even though you can do the same when you're at the edit tab, you can still see the media pool. Or you can do the same when you're in the pool tab, in the court tab when you can still work with the media pole. Okay. But then the most appropriate one is to do it at the media pin. So you can at the media tab from the media, you can navigate to your local drive. Wherever you have your media situated, you can have it, for example, mine. I have it in this ventures of tutorial and have the videos. Okay. I have them arranged in folders because it's very important to stay organized when you're doing video editing so that you don't have to mix things up and become bored with what is happening. So important media, there are different ways, for example, the first one is you can come down to the master over here, you just write Click, and you create a bin. If you are interested in creating a bin, for example, you can create a bin, then you can just go ahead and name it. For example, I can see sample video editing futage. All right, right. So I can see here. And the first one is I can open this particular folder under this master and I can drag and drop futage. I can select my footage from here, I can drag and drop them over here. And then this is going to pop up to change the frame rate and other settings of my videos to align with what I have selected initially as my project setting. And I wanted to change so I can have all my videos and the settings that I have within resolve to be at pace. Okay. So they can be the same. So this is the first one I've created this folder and you can find all of my footage once I imported all of my folders in this. And if I want I can upload the folders also using another method. So let's go back to the same venture resolve and over here I can right click, select a folder. Let's do that with the images, this time around. I can select the folder, right click, and I can add the folders directly into the media pool. And what this does is it just adds the content of this folder into the media pool. It doesn't add the folder as it is like this. So let's give it a try. And you can see it just added the content of the folder. Now, I don't do this because let me do this because it just joined all of the media together in one place. What I do is you can also add folders and sub folders into the media pool, and it's going to add all the content of the folder into the media pool. What I do is I do the third option which is add folder and sub folders into the media pool and Create beans. Okay? This one that has Create Beans. And once I click on it, it's going to create an image bin over here. So it's going to create a simple bin, simple folder within the master being. Okay. So you can be able to see my images, you can do the same for the audio, you can just do grade beans. And you can see all of my audio have been imported under the images. Okay. So you can import as many folders as you want. If you want everything to be under the master, you can still come over here and just click and you'll have it under the master, just like okay earlier on, you have it on that images, so you can click and see move to the bin or remove bin And it's going to remove that. So you have all of your features arranged like this so you can have audio images and you have the videos that you've imported. Okay, earlier on you reported everything under this as well. So images and the video footage. The next thing is we'll learn how to create now that we have our media imported. Another way to do the same thing is you can open your media from the folder directly where it is being contained. And you can select everything and maybe probably drag and drop them into the media pool directly. And they're going to be added into the media pool just like the way we've seen it. You can drag and drop, it doesn't matter whether it's a video or an audio. You can do the same. You can just select them and then you can just select and drag and drop them into that particular folder. And they're going to be situated there. So that is the power of importing media and managing media within the media within resolve. Okay, so that's one thing, importing media now, using the media, you have to create a timeline. To create a timeline, you have to come to the edit page and then you can write Click anywhere. Okay? Right click over here and you can see a new timeline. You can say, create a new timeline. You can do that with the command or mark or control on Windows. Let's create a new timeline. Over here, you have to give your timeline a name. Let's call this basic video editing. And then you can change the settings over here like the stereotype. I don't change anything because it takes in the default like we've stated at the project settence in the first place. But then if you want to have an advance use the Project Seens, you can click on this and you have the option to change many things. So these are the general feature. This is the format which if you want to change, you can change. Over here you can see this is adopting the page, the project settings that we've specified at the beginning, the formats that we specified, 1920 by 1080, and using this frame rate in 9.97 and so on. The monitor size, the output and color, I don't touch anything. Usually the only place where you need to touch is the formats, okay? And you can keep that a default as well. And so if you are certain, uncomfortable with what you have, you can just go ahead and say Create. And this is going to create a timeline for you with this name, basic editing, you can create as many timelines as you want. You can always change them or switch in between the timelines, like you can create another new timeline. And you can call it sample sample two. This is another timeline. You can work on it. You can import media also into this very timeline, and you can work on it separately. You can see multiple timelines that you've created from here. You can come to the top here and you can see sample two or basic video editing. And you can switch in between the timelines and whichever ones you've selected you can go ahead and continue with your edits over there. Okay, so this is importing a media. Let's see how we can import a media into the timeline as well. So to import media into the timeline, you have the option to start playing the media that you want to import. For example, let's say we go with something like this. I think this card, you can hover over it and you'll be able to see the preview. As you're hovering, you'll be able to see the preview on the preview canvas. So let's say at this point I want to start the importation. At this point when it just start moving, I can just hit on the letter I to define my point. And I can just hover over to this point where it starts going out. I can see I want this to be my outpoint. And I can easily drag and drop this section into the timeline. So let's double click on this. And we have our input and output now to drag and drop into this timeline. There are two ways you can drag and drop here. And you can see that you've dragged and dropped the video and an audio section of it. And this is the two sections that you've imported, if you like, as you hover over the video. Let's do that again. Let's double click, and as you hover over the video, you'll be able to see you have video footage, you have audio section early. If you use this, you drag this, it's going to drag on the video section of it, only the video section. Let me undo this and then let me see double click. And I want to import on the audio section. So you can select and you can, and you can import only the audio section of this particular footage. So just take note of how you can import the media directly in different formats. Again, you can just, on your own decide to directly you want to import the whole of the media without defining the point and outpoint. You can just import it directly into the timeline as well. And you can work with it directly. Okay, so in a nutshell, this is how to import a media into the media pool, as well as creating a timeline. And then importing the media into that particular timeline to arrange them in the timeline and just for using different methods. Okay, so I hope you enjoy this video. In the next class, we are going to look at how to create new tracks and how to manage tracks. And how to manage things within a particular track in the timeline. Okay, before we go into the basic editings, how to edit utage, we have to understand what are tracks and how are they arranged and how can we rename them and other features as well. So until next time. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 7. Track and Inspector Properties: Okay, hello and welcome back. In the last class, we talked about how to import and manage media within resolve and in this class we are going to look at the basics of tracks and inspector properties. The last class, we learn to import a media directly by just dragging and dropping. Or on our own, select the point and out point to drop. Or we can manually, on our own, decide to select any point. Okay, you can define, you want to import everything, you can just drag and drop everything into the time line, just like so. Now, when you import the media into the time line, it falls into these two trucks. There are two tracks by default, the video and audio section, like you see now, this video has a video section and it has an audio section and they are linked together. Now to the left, you can see you have a trucks name, okay? So you have V 1.1 which means video one and audio one. This is how they are classified. This is the name, video one and audio one. You can double click to rename the truck. For example, you can see the Card truck, for example. You can just call this Card truck and you can just hit out. And these trucks now takes in the name of a Card truck. You have other bunch of controls to the video track and that you can see. You can disable the video with this or you can enable it directly. Or you can use auto track select if you're interested. And you can lock the truck directly. And this means it cannot be moved or edited directly. When you lock a truck, you cannot move it or edit it, it stays fixed and you can unlock it. And then only then you can move it or change any kind of its properties. Now down here you have the audio track. You can as well rename it, and you can call it the maybe trial audio for example. You can rename it as you wish. And then as well mute it if you want to. If you use this mute truck, it means whatever you play this track is going to be silent. Okay? This particular track, whatever is on it, no matter how long it is, it is going to stay silent. And then you can solo a truck. When you solo a truck, what this means is all the other tracks are going to be muted. If you have other tracks that contain audio, all of them are going to be muted. You can only hear only this track. Okay? When you solo a track, all others will be muted. And this is the only one you can share. You can do auto track selector as well, and you can lock it directly against any edits that you can no more edit until you unlock it. Now when you select a particular track, another thing that you can do is you can come to the right here, you have the track mixer. You can do solo of a truck, or you can mute it as well. From here, that particular truck you're working on, again, you can create new trucks by just coming over here. If you add the top here, it means you can create video tracks. And it's going to add a video truck just by clicking and clicking on a new track. You can see it's added a video truck which you can double click, Rename it as we've explained, when you come down here, you can right click, or you can just go ahead and see, create a track. Now it's going to detect that automatically. You're trying to create an audio track and it's going to give you this much option. Are you create mono truck or stereo truck truck or however you want it? You can select the properties and select that particular truck you're trying to create for me. I go with mono, so I create another track. So you can see we have a number of tracks. You can create multiple tracks. If you're interested, you can undo this. Please undo this as well. I want to show something automatically. By default, when you move a particular clip up, it's going to create another truck. Okay? So you can see by just by moving it up, it created another truck for us. We have now this to be video two if you'd like, you can import this one and make it video one. And you can import the other one as well and make it however you want it. And you can go ahead and bring in audio and just attached to them, just like so, you have the audio track video truck and you can work on all of them as you wish. Now, this is about track, which you have to understand before we start editing or carrying out anything. Now, another thing you need to actually understand and pay attention to is the inspector tab over here. Whenever you select a particular track, you'll be able to see the inspector feature from here. What this does is it has a range of controls, like in the video controls, you can see this is the video tab. You have the transform feature control, which means you can zoom in and out. You can see we can zoom in, you can link the zoom in, and you can zoom in in both y and x direction. This is all linked. If you'd like, you can undo this from here and you can link them. Once you have the linked, then now zoom in and out together, which is the best plan in the x direction and in the Y direction. In the direction in the X direction, you can clear out with them directly as you saw Wish. So you can zoom to any feet. And then you have the anch point. You can change the anch point from here. You have a range of features. Like you can crop from the left, you can crop the image from the left, very, very interesting. You can crop from the right as well, or from the top or bottom however you want it. So it's very easy and it's accessible from using result. Okay. You have dynamic zoom in cases if you want to move in. When you enable dynamic zoom, you can be able to see when you are playing the video, zooms in automatic. You can see it's kind of slow, but it zooms in creating key frames. Okay? You can see the literal zooming as we move on with the timeline. So I'll show you how to use this as well and some of the basics where we move on and you can swap the look, you have different kind of composition composites. You can change from here, You can do speed change, we'll look at that in detail as well. Real time scaling and so on. You can check out other super scale different interests. So this actually has to do with the video editing, video properties of this particular clip that we've just selected. Everything, you'll be able to find them here. All right, and then if there's an audio attached to this, you can always check and access its properties from here. Like the volume, you can increase or decrease volume and then the dialect leveler and the pitch you can increase or decrease speed, change, you can enable the equalizer and so on. This other bunch of control, so you can be able to have access to all of these still on the same image or footage once you have it selected. You can still have access to the effects if you are interested. Okay. So this is just the video and audio properties that you can change directly from the inspector panel. So you can do that across all of the footage. Once you select a footage, you'll be able to know if it is an audio, if it's a video, if it contains both, you'll be able to have access to both. Like this one is just an audious. You may not be able to have access to video because it doesn't have a video part. Okay. So this is just a bit about understanding the track operations as well as the inspector properties of resolve. Okay. In the next class we're going to look at the basic editings within Daventry. Resolve, how to edit videos, do some cuttings, joining streamings within Daventrysolve. Okay? So until next time. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. By. 8. Basic Video Editing: In the last class we talked about understanding the track operations as well as the inspector properties within your clips. In this class we're going to look at the very basic editings within Vent resolve. Now let's assume we have these trucks, we've inserted these very tracks, we insert them, have this as the first one. We insert this one as the second. Okay. It has some audios attached to it, audio track attached to it. And then we can insert as many things as we want. Let's say we insert this one also that has this audio attached. Okay, so the very first thing we need to understand is that while we are on the time line with this selection tool, we can play around and we move the playhead to be able to see a preview. In this preview canvas of what we have on our timeline, you can move across and if peradventure you have, maybe you want to define a giving entrance. Or you want to trim some ten, for example. I want to trim from the beginning of this clip to this playhead. I can just navigate to the edge of it to the point where this Mcrosor turns into this sign. I can just select and drag, and I can see now I have trimmed the other section. Okay. You can do that from the left as well. When you go to the left, you can check and make sure that your cuso turns into this horizontal sign. And you can drag and move across. And you can see you've trimmed that section as well. So one thing you should pay attention to this type of trimming is that it leaves a gap. Okay, so you can either select and then delete from the keyboard. And it deletes that gap that it's created. You can do the same on this one or alternatively, let me undo this two. You can write click and say delete, right click and say ripple delete, and it's going to delete that gap the same way. Here you can write Click as a Ripple delete and it's going to delete the gap. Alternatively. Also you can use the keyboard, you can use the shift key and the back space, and it's going to do the same deleting. Okay, so that is one way to create a delete. The next thing is to create a card. Now the next icon is this trim edit mode. Okay, This trim edit mode, what it does is that it does three things. The first one is it can help you to maintain a clip size. And when you try to select it, right now it's active, you can see it's red. All right. You can come to the edge and you can tell your cursor turns into this, you can create a trim. Okay. The trimming of this nature enters the clip, but then it leaves no space. You can see when you release it, trims from the edges just like so, and it leaves no space. You can undo that. Also, if you are interested, you can select and you can trim backward. And you'll be able to see in each case when you're trimming, you can see from the preview, you have the preview of the edge. Okay, The permanent edge, where you are right now in the playhead as well as the next clip available to you. That's the one showing on the right over there. Okay, When you release, then you have it trimmed like this. Now the second thing that it does is that when you come to the bottom of any clip, you can see it turns from this to this narrow parenthesis. So you can select, you can slide across a clip. And you can see you can move into a clip using the slider tool. And you can do that from left to right. Okay? You can slide across, you can move across these particular slides. Okay? So that's the second thing, okay? The last one is you can hold at the center and you can be able to move across to define a particular location, to define a particular width, even though keeping the same width. But then you can see from the top left, this is the ending. And then from the top right, that's the other ending from the right hand side. And at the bottom is, you can see this is the boundary clips. Okay, The one from the left and the one from the right. It's just signifying the end of the clips. Okay, so once you release is the thuting that it does. Okay, So the next one is the dynamic trim mode. When you have it selected and you select a particular clip, you have the letters J, K, and L. What the letter L does is it trims from the forward. Okay. If you select a clip, it's going to trim from the forward. It's going to enter the next clip. And if you use a letter, it's going to trim from the backward. And if you press on each letter twice, it's going to trim a bit faster. So let's take a look at letter L is going to trim from the right, so just like when you pre letter L once, if you press it twice, it's going to trim a bit faster. So let me undo that and try that again. Letter L, it's going to trim from the right, pressing letter K to post. And then if you press on letter J, it's going to trim it from the left of that particular clip that you've selected. And when you press it twice, it's going to trim faster. Okay, so this is the basic thing it does for your clip. So let me undo this and the next feature is the razor blade tool, or you can enable that with the letter B. From your keyboard, you can just sit on the letter B and you can see if activated the blade to. Let's move this. Okay, so we have the blade tool and over here you can create a cut at any given point. You just select and you can just see you can create cut, You can split your clip into any section, and once you're back with the letter A to the selection tool, you can select and you'll be able to see now you can move your clips around. However you want them and you can reshuffle and move them across with the selection tool. So that's what the very basic editing features do. Okay, so alternatively let me undo this and let me show you a very quick way of also deleting or trimming your clips within resolve. So the first one is we can do the trimming and cutting using the shortcut keys. For example, we have the shift across the open bracket tool. If I want, for example, to delete from this point to this playhead, I want to delete from this point. I can just hit on the shift and the open bracket and it's going to do that for me. It has just done the magic for me. Even though it leaves a gap in between. I'm going to show you how to do that to cover the gap which is a ripple delete. So this is trimming from the left. And let me do another one from the right, for example, if from this point I want to trim from this point to the edge of this, I can just hold on the shift key and use the closing bracket and it does the magic for me. Okay, so manule on my own, I can select this place and just delete from my keyboard. Select here. And delete from my keyboard. That's another way to do it. But then let me undo these two actions. And then let's say I want to delete from this edge to this playhead, but I don't want it to leave a space. So to do that I have to hold down the command key in mark or control key in windows. So let's say I hold command shift and then the open bracket from left, so you can see it does the magic, it deletes the trip, it trim it and then it covers the gap in between. You can do the same thing also when you hold in the command key and shift and the closed bracket, it's going to trim from the right over here. From this point to the playhead covering the distance or covering the space in between them. So you can see, let's do that command shift and the common bracket and it does the magic fantastically. So this is a very good shortcut key to where we want to fasten your editing process. So this is another way. The second thing that you can see here is the inserting of clip. Okay, you can insert any clip using this very feature. So let's say at this point I can take my playhead to this point and I want to insert a clip, for example, this one. I can just select the picture of this card and I've defined the point from here. Let's say the point out point And I want to insert it, can draw directly, hit on this guy and he's going to insert the clip for me directly. So that's the clip over here. All right, that's one way to do it. Alternatively, you can undo this and you can have the next control which is the override. Okay? If you select a particular clip and then this clip that you're working on when you click on override is going to override that particular clip entirely and replace it with this one that we're working with, okay? Alternatively, again, let me do this, select this, and you can do what we call replace. You can just go ahead and select this clip. And then we can come over here and say replace, replace. And you can see it is going to replace that section of the clip that this one is going to cover. Okay, It's going to replace directly. So you can just go ahead and play around with them and then see how you can enjoy working with them. Now, the next thing is this snapping tool. If you enable it right now, it's not enabled. So you can see in between clips, if I try to join this clip, there's no precision in the connecting point, okay? You can not precisely get the point of connection in between them. But then when I enable this snapping tool, you can see it just snaps in between. Okay? It varies, it snaps. So that's the beauty of using this. Now this is called the linking tool, Link selection. Okay, so once you select a particular clip, for example this one that has video and an audio, select the two of them and then link them. We are linked from here. And you can see right now, you can be able to move them separately. Individually. Okay? You can move the video separately, and you can move the audio separately as well. If you want to relink them, you have to select them together and then put on the linked tool. This is Global, so it's going to link them again. Right now you cannot move them separately. So you can link clips and you can select these. Right now they are all linked. So you can click out and you can see them. You can move them individually, separately, the round being all linked. And if you want to relink them again, you can select both of them. And then right click and say Link Clips. And right now they are linked together. Okay, You cannot move them separately. So that's the beauty of this. Over here, you can lock all the global settings, you can lock against any kind of editing. If you enable this, you cannot be able to edit anything. This is locking. And then over here you have these two controls. This is label, this is markers. Okay, if you want to add something, you can use the markers. For example, at this point you can select to add a marker. And when you double click, you'll be able to see. You can add the name of the marker, for example, Let's say coloration and need to add color at this point so you can give details, okay? Add saturation for example. And then you can select the color that you want the marker to have. And once you say done, it takes in this as a color. If you want to remove it, you can double click, say remove a marker, and it's going to remove that. Okay? So that is the beauty of marker then right now we can see the next one is the flag. Okay? You can add a flag at a particular selection. Okay? You can add a flag at a particular clip. You can select and you can just go ahead and add a flag. And you can see the difference between a flag and marker, is that a flag moves with the clip. If you try to move this clip, you can see it moves with the flag on it. Okay. But then if it is a marker, if you try to move anything, it's not going to move directly with the marker, but the flag does, it's going to move together. Now you can select and you can double click. And then you can be able to change the coloration of the marker as well. You can add it at different clips. And then you can click to be able to change the colreation. Can see right now we can make a red color and you can give any kind of description also from here and click out. Okay. So you can see we have two different types of markers and you'll be able to have access to them. Okay, So that is how to add the marker and a clip, and that's the basic difference between them. Another icon you can see here is the zoom feature, okay? So over here you can be able to zoom in the timeline to see the details, and you can zoom out to be able to have more space in between. Okay? So you can do that manually with this wheel, okay? Or you can use the plot sign to increase and the negative sign to decrease accordingly. It's up to you. And then you have the other features from here. This is custom zooming, okay? The first one to the right is called the custom zoom. When you hit on it, you can on your own, try to create a zoom. Okay? And then the next one over here is the full extent zoom. Whenever you click on it, it's going to give you the full resolution. The full extent of the zoom throughout the timeline, No matter how many clips you have, it's going to zoom it to fit the timeline on its own. So let's try to add this one So we can see that the clips extend across the whole thing. But since we have the selected, you can see right now it fits to the entire screen. So let's have the next one. The next one is called the detail zoom. The detail zoom gives you the detail of whatever is across the playhead. Okay? It is related to the playhead, so when you click on this, it's going to give you the playhead detail. Okay? It's going to give you the detail across the playhead. All right. So that is the beauty of this. So this is basically it about all of the editing features that we have here and what, and what you need to play around with before already learned about the track issues. As well as the cuttings and joinings and trimmings of different types using all of these features. And over here you have the option play and pause and move. Go to the last frame and first frame, and you can loop a particular clip against editing when you're editing, during your editing. Okay, so I think basically this does it, or this brings us to the end of this class on how to do basic editing within a particular clip in the timeline. Alternatively, you may at any given point be able to have access to. When you select a clip, you can come to the inspector and you'll be able to have the inspector properties like we've explained. If it is a video only, you'll be able to have the video properties like the cropping feature you crop from left, right, and center. You can play around with all of these features accordingly and you can undo from here, all resets from here. Or you can do the global reset from here. You have the dynamic zoom. Maybe later also move on. I will show you how to use it and we've shown in the previous class how to change the speed, the composite, the stabilization, we've shown that it's possible to play around with most of these features across real time scaling and so on. So these are very basic things that you can learn how to play around with them. Like the zoom feature, you can zoom across the clip from left, right, and center, from x, y, and z axis. You can play around with all of this. So I think this basically does it on how to do basic editing within the venture result. I hope you enjoy this video. In the next class, we are going to learn how to add basic transitions in between clips so that your video can appear very much more professional and nice. Until next time. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Right. 9. Adding Transitions: All right, so in the last class we talked about how to do very basic video editing within the ventures of, and in this class we are going to talk about how to add transitions. Okay? Transitions can be added in between two clips that are the same, or different, or even in between a video clip and an image. In between images and so on. So they are just there to give the video some professional look, okay, when it transit from one media to another. Now to add transitions, there are four different ways. I'll show you some shortcuts in which you can use to add the transitions and some normal ways to add. The first way is you can come in between the two clips that you want to add. For example, this first and the second clip. I want to add a transition in between the two of them. Let's take a look at the play, how it's going to jump cut to the other one. You can see the play just cuts into the other one, which is highly unprofessional. I want to add a transition in between these two. The first method is I can come in between these two clips and just select until both of them turn into this red color. Okay. You can see it cut across even the audio, Okay, so to transition at this moment. At this point I can just come all the way to the timeline. Over here, you just click and you can come all the way to add transition, conclude to add transition. Normally you will not see this, but sometimes you may see it. If you see something like this, just go ahead and see trim clips and it's going to give you the most professional look in the trimming. Okay, So it's going to trim the clips and you can just go ahead and add the transition. So if you look into it, you'll be able to see the transition had been added. So let's hold down the option key and use the mouse button to just shift in between, and you'll be able to see the transition had been added in between the clips. So you can just shift this a little bit and you have the transition added. Okay, so that's the first method. And you can increase or decrease the length of the transition. How long should the transition be able to play? So let's have a preview of this. Okay, so you can see it's cross dissolve. Okay, It easily cross dissolve to the other clip. Very, very smooth and nice. You can see it. So this is the first way you can increase how long this transition should be by just selecting. Make sure you have the select menu. You can just select the transition and you can easily come to the edge and drag, okay. Or you can reduce the length directly like this, or you can extend it however you want it, this one way. Alternatively you can write, click on the transition, or you can change transition duration from here. And you can click, you'll be able to change it from the normal 1 second to maybe 5 seconds or 1.5 Or you can manually change it or you can use the precepts over here. Okay. Up to 15 seconds, you can change directly. All right, that's the second method. Alternatively, you can still click on the transition. You come to the inspector panel. Over here, you come to the inspector, you'll be able to see the properties of video transition. So the first thing is you can change the transition type by just clicking over here. The default is cross dissolved like you said. You can have this bandwith if you select it. And let's have a preview of this. All right. So this is bandwith and I think it's kind of cool, but you can play around the number of them over here, this is hard. And you have the S you can just select and you can be able to have a preview of what is going to be as a transition. Now, over here, you can alternatively change the duration by increasing or decreasing the duration directly. You can see if you notice from here at the transition the length also is increasing or decreasing as you increase or decrease at the same way goes to the frame rate, they are connected. If you increase the frames, it's going to increase the number of seconds. If you reduce the frames, it's going to reduce also the same way you can always undo from here or reset from here. And you can come all the way and offset the transition and change the other aspect ratios for example. Now when you come back to the transition, you can change other aspect ratio like the rotation, the love sign. And you can add in border if you want to add borders, okay? You can change the coloration of the border to something like this or to any color of your choice. And you can change it to have this easing or ease out. Usually the default is this horizontal or this slide line, white line, you can see it over here. This is the normal one. But then if you add the ease in or ease out, you can see the color changes into this curve sign, okay? This is ease out. If it is ease in, it just turns into the horizontal sign. You can see it's now carved. Okay. You can be able to see even on the loft sign, it's now a bit carved, So that you can reset anything at any given point. And you can change the transition curves also from here, if you like, you can change how big and how small it should look like from here. All right, So you can reverse it as well from the normal one so you're free to change anything of your choice. This is audio settings that you can change as regards the transition. If you change the audio profile also the default is cross feed. You can change so many things over here as well. So that's the first method of adding transition. The second method is you can just go ahead and let me undo this. Let me undo adding the transition as a whole. The second method is you can just hover over the place where you want to add a transition and then you can come to effect over here. When you come to effect, you'll be able to come down here and see video transitions. And you can see resolve has some default transitions, okay? If you want to have a preview of what that transition is going to be, you can bring in your playhead to that particular point where you want to add a transition. And then over here you'll be able to see number of transition there. Once you hover over, you'll be able to see what effect of that transition is going to have on your clips. In between these two clips that you have, okay, You can check cross dissolve and you can have cross dissolve, the color dissolve. You can see it and you can see smooth cut. All right, so it's all boils down to you instead of you to have to put in the transition. And then if you don't like it, you can remove it over here. You can just preview directly. Okay? So you have the arrow. Irish. Okay? So you can just preview. This is a diamond iris. Okay? So you can preview all of them. This is motion blur. All right? These different motion slides. Okay? You can see them of different types. These are shapes. I kind of like slides sometimes. Okay? But then in some cases you may have this issue that when you drop and drop, you will not be able to drop the clip in between the two of them. That's because resolve has a way of adding its own transition. It doesn't add when the edges are completely edges like that. Okay, so when you come towards the end of this particular clip and you see your cosal sign turns into this bracket sign. Okay? Horizontal, maybe left bracket sign. When you try to click and hold, you see it's now showing this red sign, which means this is the end of this particular clip. The same way to this, you come to the edge, you click and hold it shows the red sign which shows it is the end of it. What we used to do at this point is you can click on the clip and then make sure you are on this slide trim edit mode. You can just click on it and you can come over here. All you need is just to slide the clip to the other edge a little bit, and it's now slide in between. Okay, you can do that in both cases. When you come to the edge, you click, you'll now see that this is not the end of this clip. Which means it's been, it's been inserted, it's been trimmed a little bit, you come to this edge also you can select this one. You come to this edge, you'll be able to see that this is the end. You just have to move this a little bit in. All right. A little bit. All right, so when you come to the edge, you'll notice that this is not the end. And when you come to the edge of this, this is not the edge also. So both of them have been a little bit inserted into each other. So you can use slight dissolve right now when you drag and drop, you can now see we have slight transition. So you can still click and you'll be able to see how it transits in between. So it's very easy and it's very cool just understand the difference, resolve, have it in a very different way. So you can just click and you can still have the same properties of the transition and you'll be able to play around with it now. This is light motion, this is shapes. Okay. We have wipe of different types, we have fusion transition of different types. So all you need is just to position your clip, your playhead at that particular point. And just make sure you hover over and you'll be able to see the effect it's going to have on your transition. This is the second way. The third way is by using the Alt plus, the same way we've explained that you. Let's undo this. If you want to do with the old plus, you can just go ahead and select the point where you want to add the transition. This one then you can do if you are in Windows or you can do option plus if you're on mark and it's going to give you the same feature, you have to apply it to trim the crips. And you can see right now it's been added, the transition has been added for you. Then another way is you can do option plus shift plus you can hold the clip that you want to work with. For example, in this case I'm going to hold this two. Then I will use option plus shift and then drag it a little bit into the other clip. And you can see right now, transition had been added in between the eclipse. Now the default is when you hover over it, you'll be able to see this is the default. This cross dissolve had been applied as a default. If you want to change the default transition that you're going to have, whenever you create a transition, you can still hover over any of the transition that you're interested. For example, this heart sign, okay? And when you write, click on it, you say, set a standard transition. When you set this a standard transition, whenever you add a transition, it's going to add this heart sign as a default. Okay? So regardless of whichever method you follow of the four methods, if you add a transition, it's going to come back to this. And if you want to remove this, you can remove directly, you can always come over here and reset everything. So that is basically how to add transitions in between clips and try to customize them accordingly according to the content you are trying to create. You can add across any clip of your choice that you're working on. So I hope you enjoy this video. In the next class, we're going to look at how to add texts. Okay, how to add and format text titles within Davinci resolve. So until next time, thanks for watching, and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 10. Adding Texts and Titles: All right, so in the last class we talked about how to add transitions into the timeline, okay? And customize it however you want it. And in this class we are going to talk about how to add text into your video clips and then make some editings, play around with some of its properties, and so on. Now to add text, all you need is just to come to the media pool over here. You can have this space. And make sure you select this effect tab over here. All right, so you select the effect tab, you can come all the way down here and you can see titles. All right, on clicking on titles, you'll be able to see that so many things. Okay, there are different types of title from the basic title without any kind of animations attached to it. Which once you hover over, you'll be able to see what that title does. Okay? And what kind of title is it and how it's going to appear within the time line, okay, of your video. So you can select, for example, in this case, when we hover over this title, you're going to see a preview of what the title does, okay? This one also is just middle lower third, and this is the right lower third, okay? Or you can easily select and customize it however you want it. This is called scroll because it scrolls across. So when you move up, you can see it is moving up as a preview. And then you can still move down to see it move down directly, the number of them. You have the fusion title, the call outs, okay. You can see any one of them. Depending if you're explaining something, you can always use this call out or you can use this one. This center review would just appear just like that. I kind of like this center review and I use it most of my editings. And then we have the sample text, the lower thud of different types. And I use this one also, that box center. Okay, Just take a look at the appearance, how it appears and how the text appears also. So it's very easy and there are so many of them. You can see this one at the bottom, you can see digital glitch. You have it and this one to really, really interesting, so they are of different types. You can see them resolve has quite a number of text template that you can easily make use of and start editing within your time line. So to bring in a text all you need, let's start with the plain text. You can just go ahead and select any text of your choice. For example, let's select this simple one. Okay, let's select something like this, basic title, you can just drag and drop it into the time line. Okay? So it's just the way you drag and drop any kind of media, the drag and drop text into the time and also in resolve. Okay, So you can select it and you're free to come to the edge and drag it across any section. Okay? So this is a text, You can see it by even the color and this letter signifying a text. So you can drag it and extend it across and you can move it across to any position of your choice. Once you move the playhead over that, you'll be able to see that basic text that you have added, which if you have put it in a place that is not white, you'll be able to see it clearly because this is what is written now to see the properties or to edit this text because right now it's written early basic title. If you want to edit and make it your old, you can just select it and come over to your Inspector panel over here. If you don't see it, just click on the inspector and you'll be able to see all of the text editing properties that you need to change. For example, you can select on this and say, welcome to my channel. This is just an example. You can change quite a lot of things. You can hight, you can change the font style of different types. You can see as you move cover over any font, you'll see how it is changing on the main text. Welcome to my channel. You can change the font. Face bold, you canalize. You can use regular bold, italic, an extra black. You can use all of these. Let's go with regular, like regular, and change the color also. From here, you have the color features you can be able to change across as you move. You can hover over and change it at any given point. But I think white is doing a good job. So you can select white and you can just say okay to this to have the much features. You can change color. You can select color of any choice. You can change the sizing. You can make it bigger or smaller. You can add in the tracking, you can extend the tracking, and by mistake, if you don't want what you're doing, you can always come over to the edge over here and double click on this, and it's going to take it back to reset. Okay. Or alternatively, let me undo this. And if you want to reset this, you can come over to the tracking and double click on it and it's going to take it back to the normal. Okay? And then over here you have the line spacing. You can increase or decrease the line spacing in case you have more than one line and you have the font style over here, you can change even the indexing. Okay? You can change the casing font case. You can do all caps or lower calves or there, but you have quite a number of features that you can change from here, the alignment, Fred center and call the position. You can manually on your own, automatically just use the x and Y features to navigate and change them accordingly. Or you can on your own, double click on the text. And then you can easily drag and move it to any position manually on your own to just specify where exactly. You want to position it. Okay? So there's quite a number of controls. You can zoom in in the x and y, z direction as well. And you cannot link this to do the zooming in the x and y axis separately. And then you have the rotation angle. You can rotate the text to any point. Okay. If you want to add a stroke, you can always click on this or click on this to reset, you can add a stroke, you can add a color to your stroke. Right now, you can select on any and you can just add a color and you can increase the intensity of that stroke. So let's say something like direct color, okay? So let's say we take black and then we can increase the intensity. From here. You can see we have the intensity increased. But if you want everything, you have to select from the text, you have to make sure you select everything. And then you play around with the features and come down here and you can increase the sizing and it's going to increase across all of them. You can see right now we have it increased. You can put in drop shadow. You can play around with the drop shadow. If you want to have a drop shadow, you can add the coloration to the drop shadow. I think white color might do a good job. And you can increase the blurring nature or the opacity from here or the offset angle. You can change the offset also from here by just coming and clicking on Okay. To this you can change the offset. And you can see the angle is changing. I think this is doing a good job. The one thing you should pay attention to is you can have this enabler, okay? This tick. You can click to disable all of the features, but it keeps everything at the reset up, it keeps everything at default, you can off or on the feature directly. And then you have the background over here. You can enable background if you want to enable background, okay. So once you enable background, you'll be able to define what kind of background you want. You can enable background and you can come down and you can play around with the outline. Okay. Background color, what kind of color do you want to have? And you can change everything. You can change the outline color as well. Can change it to any color of your choice. All right. And then you can increase the width as well as the height of the background, okay? So you can change the radius as well as the center feature. So there are quite a lot of controls here that you can change from here. So let's lower the width so you'll be able to see exactly what you're talking about. Something like this. Okay, so at any given point you can reset or you can off the background selection from here. So there's quite a number of controls that you can put and you can define exactly like I said earlier on where you want the text to cover in your timeline. So this is the basic one. From the plain text, you can come down here and you can add other existing ones. For example, in some cases I may want to create an intro. For example, I select everything and I'm going to move the yellow bits to the side. And I want to add something like an intro from here. We can just go ahead and use something like, okay, I like this one, so we can just drop it here. So we can extend this. And we can just go ahead and select it. And come over here. And just putting welcome to my channel. Let's take a look at the appearance. I want everything to stay at default. I don't change anything. The coloration and all. I want everything to stay at default. If you have anything that has to do with your brand, you can change from here. So let's have a look at how the introduction is going to be. You can see the opening and then how the text comes in. Okay, But then I want it to be shorter so that we'll be able to see how it's going to transit pretty fast. So take a look at the transition, okay? It just move out. The intro is very easy and it looks, looks very nice to have your intros look like this. Welcome to my channel. And then it just moves out, so it's kind of complete and it's very, very nice So you can play around with all of them depending on what you're creating, depending on what you're trying to do, have a lot of lower thoughts you can incorporate in your video editing and reappear and look very, very nice and professional. All right, so it all boils down to you however you want it, you can make it okay. So you can set any kind of lower third, for example, you may have a lower third that. Let me show you one that you can easily use, Okay, So even this one is good, so you can just drag and drop this one. For example, if you're delivering editorial, you can drag and drop this one. So let's see what this one does. For example, let's extend it a little bit. Let's see we selected, so this is sample upper line. So assuming we can select this and we can come to the title can go up here. So we can just sample per line. So this is the upper text. So you can just, for example, Dr. Shed, and then down here I may want to have, this is the lower text. So you can select, I can say instructor. Okay, instructor of this course. You can just have this as your own lower effort. So let's see how it's going to play in cases when you try to play it, just take a look at how it comes in and then probably how it is going to go out. So take a look at how it goes out. It's really, really professional to have some of these texts in your content, okay? Depending on what you're trying to create. This is just a bit about how to insert text and titles in your videos and customize them from the inspector panel to however you want to change the phones, change the style, and adding different kind of features to the text. Okay, so go ahead and experiment with your content. Depending on what you're trying to create and see how you can clear out with it, I think this conclusive storia on how to add text titles. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next one. Bye. 11. Adding Animations and Keyframes to Texts: All right, so in the last class we talked about how to add the text plus within the venturesolve, in this class we're going to look at how to add animations and key frames to our text within resolve. Okay, so in the last class, assuming we're going to use the same text, welcome to my channel and then we're going to add some basic animations to it. Okay, so let's start with the animations. So the first thing you need to do is to make sure that you select the effects over here. If you don't see, you can stop the media pool because we've already imported all of our media. You can use the effects tab over here. You can just click and you have the punched features. But what we're interested in is transition. Okay, So we can come to video transitions over here in the transition, like we've explained in the other video, adding transition, when you hover over any transition, you'll be able to see the effect it's going to have on your media. But in this time around, we're going to deal with only text, not the other features to drag and drop a particular transition or effect as animation into our text. Let's zoom in. And then you can just drag and drop any, let's say we drag and drop this one. And you can see we have added an effect. Let's zoom out a little bit. And you can see it over here, again, like we've explained in the earlier on. You can select from here, you can extend it to define how long you want it to stay on the clip. For example, let's have a preview. So you can see the coming of the text and this is how it is going to be. So when you select that transition, you have the option also to change it. This is Edge wipe. You can make it a box and just try to play around with it. This is the entrance. I not like this but you get the message. So you can have center wife or clock, or the abbot. Let's say we go with this bundle. Okay, so we can have a preview. Again, I think this is cool. Okay, so we can go with something like this. Again, you can extend the length of the transition by selecting it, coming over to the edge of it. And you can extend manually like this on your own, you can come over here to the transition a panel or you can select to the transition panel. You can change all of the features from here. So you can install under the inspector and the transition, you can change all of the effects in case you want to extend or reduce the length of the transition. So in most cases, as you have the entrance transition, you may equally want to have the exit transition. So you can come all the way to the exit. And less drag and drop another feature. So less drag and drop this at the edge. Okay, so you can see it, the edge. So you have the option to take a look at how the text is going to go out, is going to transit to the next one. Okay? So I think this is cool, but if you don't want also again, you can select it. You have this bunch of controls to change around everything that you want to change around. Now this is another way to do it. Another interesting one is in cases where you want to have a fade in. And fade out in your text is another way to add animations to it. So let's go back to title. Let's go back to, for example, one of the most basic titles. You can come over here, let's say we select any of the text, all right, from the plain text, a basic one, we can just drag and drop this. Then over here, let's say we just put in something like, enjoying the beach, right? Enjoying the beach. And we want it to fade in and fade out. So as you select this text, you can hover over to the top left or top right. You see this small white sign. If you click on it and you can drag, you will create a fade in in this text. Okay? Do you want to define how many frames you want it to fade in? And you can create the same fade out by just navigating over here, and you can create that fade out. So let's see how this is going to be when we select the text. Let's extend the length a little bit so you'll be able to see how it's going to fade in. So let's see the fading in. Okay, so it just fades in on the canvas, and then it simply fades out. Okay, so you can see the fading out. It's looking very nice. Okay, so this is another way to add an animation into this. Okay? So again, this is about animation. You can add it from any kind of transition that we have here. The next one is how to add keyframes. Okay? So keyframes are certain controls that you can give to a text. You're writing it within a particular point. For example, let's say this text is just welcome to my channel and I want at this point to have some rotation in the text. You can select the text, You can come back to the properties over here. Let's say I want to have some rotation. You can come back to the main text properties, or you can go to transform, because we are talking about rotation, this rotation. And you can come down here, you can see the point, these dots at these signs. This means that this text is key frameable. When you select this, you're going to create a rotation along the x, Y, O, Z axis, Okay? On this very text. Let's remove the fading and fed out. All right, so let's move the fed in and fed out. We select the text. Now we want to add, let's move it a bit out of this card. Now we want to add a key frame to this text. So the key frame should be that it's going to rotate along, this exist, okay, So we're going to insert some rotation. So we select the text, we'll come back to the text and title, We'll be Reach Title over here. Okay? So you can come all the way down here and we have a bunch of things, other things that you can play around with. But our target for this one is rotation. So you can hit on this sign, this dot sign can just click on it. And we've created a key frame from here. All right, so now from this point I wanted to enable the key frame. So I wanted to do something, wanted to rotate like this. And then from that point to this point, I wanted to have another rotation again. So I click on key frame and I want to rotate it this way. From this point to this point, probably I wanted to have another rotation. So I create another key frame and make it rotate like this. Then from this point down to this point, I will create another key frame. I wanted to go back to the normal, okay, how it was. So I'm going to rotate it back to this, something like this, All right? All right. So enjoy the beach. So these are the key films. I've put a number of key films now to confirm how many key films have been started, you can come over to this black dot. You can click on it. And you can see right now we have about four key frames. So let's see how our text is going to behave on this. So you can click and take a look at how the key framing is working on our text. You can see the rotation at each point. So this is the power of the key frames, and let's kind of increase the size of this. And then you have the option to make the key framing smaller or larger because you can move them around, you can drag and move them far away from each other or closer to each other. The closer they are, the faster they are and the farther they are, the slower. So you can see how it's slower. And then when you move closer, it's faster. Okay? And then this one is slower. That's the duty of it. You can add the key frame at any given point. Now this is an example with rotation, you can add key frames on anything, be it zooming or zooming out tracking or increasing the size as you saw. Which you can add it at any given point and it's going to have that effect on your text. Basically, this is how to add key frames and animations into your text. Just square ahead and try it. Depending on the kind of content that you're trying to create, you can insert different kind of animations and key frames to your text. I've just shown you how to have access to it and if you're don't having access you can always click back to collapse the key frames. Okay. So you can apply it on any kind of control, on any kind of feature across in the text editing feature. So I hope you enjoy this video. This concludes the tutorial on how to add animations and key frames within a text in Devin Chisol, hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye he. 12. Adding Subtitles: In this class, we're going to learn how to add subtitles within your video clips in the venture resolve to add subtitles. Let's say we have this audio that I've recorded as a sample audio, so let me just select drag it and drop it into my media pool over here. And this is it. Okay. All right, so this is it. This audio. So we can drag it and drop it into the timeline, just like so. And we are free to extend it so we can be able to see everything from here. Now, another thing you should, let's have a preview of what type to us are recorded. Hello and welcome to my channel. I'm the Rashid and I'm going to be the structor for this call. So this is just a preview of what type to us recorded hello and welcome to my channel. So I'm going to use this to add a subtitle. Okay, so we're going to add subtitle to this manually. All right, so to add subtitle, all you need is still come to effect. If you can see effect, you can see effect over here. You can click to have it either. You can close your media pool, you can come all the way down from the text. You can come to the text menu. You can still come down, drag down, still come to this bottom. And you can be able to see subtitle over here. Now once you over over it, you'll be able to see the subtitle showing to add it to this particular voice over that I've recorded. You can just drag and drop it just like the way we do and different kind of media into our timeline. So when you select this, you have all of these text editing features. You can add different kind of custom captions to this. You can write directly on your own, and you can define the timing however you want it. So you can add new caption to this on your own, and you can move across the captions previous to the next using these buttons. Okay, so let's say at this point I want to capture the first minutes. Okay, Hello and welcome to my channel. Hello, welcome to my channel. Okay, so let's say up to this point. So I'm going to drag this, so it just stops here. I can trim it to this point. This how long I want. Hello and welcome to my channel. So we can select and come over here, replace the subtitle with hello and welcome to my channel. All right, so what's next? All right, so let's say I'm going to take it up to this, I'm Dr. Rashid, so we can add. All right. So you can just select go ahead and say I'm Dr. Shed. What next? You can drag and bring it here And how long is it going to be? So let's zoom out a little bit to be able to see everything. Okay. How long is it going to be? It's going to be up to this playhead. Let's play it and see. Fine, So we have to click Add another one. Bet. I'm going to be the instructor for this course, so let's add another one. Add another one, so we can drop and drop it here, so we can add the description. Okay, and I'm going to be the instructor and come back here. Let's say we come back here, I want to type and I am going to be the All right, the instructor now for this course. Okay, we have another one so we can add new and we can just type for this course. Let's strike this up to this point. Select the text and we can come over here and just type for this course. All right, for this course. And then the last one is all right. The last one is thank you. So we can just add new from here. And we can drag and make it up to this point. And then we can adjust. Okay, so we have it up to this point. So select this and just put in. Thank you. Select this and put in, thank you. All right, so let's have a preview of what you have created. Because you can move also manually. From here you can move across to one different text or you can on your own, go to the next, just like we have here. But then let's start from the beginning and see what we have created. All you need is just start. Welcome. I'm the Phd and I'm going to be the instructor for this course. Thank you. I think this is perfect. So you go ahead and just explore it. Depending on what kind of content you're trying to create on your own, you can select on any and need to just directly take you to that particular text. Okay, so basically this is how to add subtitles within your video editing. Okay. In the Aventisut. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in my next class. Bye. 13. Adding B-Rolls: All right, so in the last class we talked about how to add subtitles within your video editing in resolve and in this class we're going to look at how to add rolls. Okay. So rolls are very, very important, especially when you are explaining a particular concept. You can always bring in bureau of different types starting from images to videos. Okay. You can bring in any media to showcase as your bureau. Now let's give an example of this. So we can select everything. Let's say we delete everything and we can still come back to our media pool and pick in some media, Right? So let's say we pick in this guy, drag and drop it into the timeline. Okay, just like. So we're picking another one. Let's say we're picking this guy. No, let's go and pick in this. All right, so let's say we have these two clips and let's enable this snap tool so we'll be able to snap. Okay, so let's say we have the two I want as these guys are explaining, something in the bull form should come in. Okay, in both cases. So let's start with an image. Okay, so we can import an image into this. So as a b, this is the main role explaining them. Moving for an adventure, maybe this is a vacation adventure and then we want in some bull barros will come in images in this form. So we can go back to media put and come to the images and we can select any image that could relate to what we're trying to explain here. Ming, the image of this guy is something we need. We just drag and drop it in the timeline and you're free to extend it across to any point. Okay? And you can select and move it to any point of your choice just to define what you're trying to create. And then you can select over here. So once you move over your playhead, you'll be able to see that particular roll that we've added. This is the Errol, this is roll. Whatever comes in ahead of the Er role is called the roll. When you select this image, you have the image properties over here. All right, So you have the properties over here, such as the transform feature. You can zoom in and out, for example, you can just go over here and you can zoom in. It fills up the entire screen, okay? And then you can change the position in the x and where s just like we've explained earlier on, but I think this position is. Okay. So you can just go ahead and play and can have a preview of what we've just talked about, okay, from this video. And the image is just going to pop in into the media. Okay, so you can see that we can explain our concept, whatever we're explaining. And then up to maybe probably this point and then it just transit back to the next point. All right, so you can see it now transit back to the tourists and then we can continue our explanation. This becomes very much interesting when we zoom out a little bit and then when we add some animations to it. Okay, so let's add some transitions into this. Selecting it and come back to effect. And then we can come to video transitions. And we can just adding something, let's have this crosses off. All right, so we can just drag and drop it over here. And we can extend this a little bit, we'll be able to see this. And we can extend the transition also we have another one crosses off out at the other one, at the other edge. Okay, so let's have a preview of what we just talked about. So we can see it just transits in. Okay, we have this image and then it's going to equally transit out into the main tourist tite. Okay, so this is very interesting. So this is how to add an image as a bureau within the ventures up. And you're free to add in any kind of video as well. So this is images, you can add a video. So let's have this video of this cart or this one. So you can just drag and drop this, assuming I don't want this audio section. So I can just write click. I can select and say or link this. All right. So I click out, so I can select this manually and delete it. So I want only this. You can just drag and drop it here. Define the position however you want it. You can just stream it from the edges. So let's stream from both edges over here. And we can define a specified location. Again, while we're explaining this, this comes in quickly. This comes in and then maybe you're explaining the entrance of this cable car and then comes out. Let's see how we're going to add in transition to this as well. You can select it, We have other properties that we can do from the inspector and we have the video properties also over here. You can play out with the zooming effect. And zooming out so you can play out just like the way we've done in the image. You can play out with the sizing and so on and all of these features. You can have cropping, dynamic zoom, and so on. And then over here we can just calm down. And let's add some transitions to it also, so that it becomes a little bit better. So let's have this motion, this push, okay? So we can drag and we have it inserted here. Let's have this slide out, so we can drag and have it inserted here. So in the video also, it's going to have some transition into it. So you can see it just wipes in and it just push out. All right, so this is the power of having transitions. You can extend also the length of the transition however you want it also within the clip, so you can see how it pushes in and then how it's kind of push out. Okay, so that's the beauty of adding bureaus, you can add it on anything, either an image or a video. All right, so the whole idea is just to introduce the concept of adding bureaus into the timeline. So you can import it and then you can bring it into the timeline and position it however you want them and whichever position you want. And then you can add different kind of emissions to them transition so to make them better. All right, so I think this concludes this total on how to add bureaus within the timeline interventores of. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 14. Adding Audio: Well, in the last class we talk about how to add roles within our clips in venture resolve. And in this class we're going to talk about how to add music and probably sound effects, okay, to a venture resolve. And then play around with some of the basic editings for Odio. So to add Odio, the first thing I usually tell my students is, where do you get copyright free? Odio. There's a website called The Pi, where I can get all of my music and sound effects that are copyright free. So once you come to Pix.com you can come all the way here and you can be able to select, you're looking for music and you're able to search for any kind of music. For example, background music. You can just hit on it and you'll be able to see different types of music that you can download. You just play a preview and then you can just go ahead and download it from here. And it's just going to download for you. And once you download your audio, you can just come back to the Ventures off and you can be able to import it into the media. For example, you can come to this audio and right click over here. You can come all the way down here and see import media. So you can just navigate to wherever you have that media in your system and just click on it and just import directly. So go ahead and select that particular location and then define the media and just go ahead and import it. All right, so I've imported mine, so let's say we have this media that I've imported and we can just easily drag and drop them into the term line. So let's say I have this dream escape, so you can just drag and drop it. So what used to happen is when you drag and drop a background music, it usually comes very, very loud. So you have a bunch of controls that you may want to add. So for example, I want this to cover up to this point. So let's have a preview. Usually when you add audio, it comes in very, very loud. You can hear preview. I think this is quite loud and you can change the loudness and you can adjust. Sometimes you may want in some part of the clip to be silent or some to have a variable volume in terms of the audio you can play around with all of these within the venture resolve. Now the first thing you need to notice is that my background music is longer than the entire clips that I have for this tutorial. So I can come over to this section, to this edge, okay, and just select and you can use the resolve Bled tool and you can use the cut. All right, and then you can get back to the selection tool and select this section and delete. Now this is the first way, usually I used to fade in and fade out, so that it doesn't just die out abruptly when I'm playing. Okay, something like this. It doesn't just die out. So I can just insert, come to the top right to this white dot. When you see your cosor turns into this horizontal sign, you can click and drag and you can have the fed out directly. And you can have a feed in as well. It eventually makes your audio to sound a little bit normal. Yeah, I think that's okay. And it sounds very nice to die out clearly just like that. So this is one way to play around with the volume. There's another way, if you want to generally play around with the volume, you can select that audio and it can come all the way to the inspector tab. Over here you have the audio controls. Over here, right over here you have the volume control. You can drop it down to maybe negative 15 as we are reducing the volume. You can see it over here in the volume profile. It is equally reducing, you can reduce it to something like negative 20. Okay. Negative 12 is okay, right? I think this is okay. But if you don't want, you want to manually reduce it. Let me show you another way to do it so you can undo this so it has the full volume. Now, when you hover over over the video, you can come to New Point. If you're using Mark, you can use the old key until your Coor turns into this Vertical arrows up, you can see it. You can just select and you can, and you can play around with the volume of the, you can select, you can play around with the volume. So for example, you can select and you can see right now you can reduce or increase the volume of this particular clip that you're working on. Okay, so you can see you can reduce or increase. Now if you don't want to increase, this is the global, which means we're increasing or decreasing at the entire clip. If you want to reduce it at some point, maybe probably increase it at some point. There are two ways I used to do that. So for example, you can come hover over again. Hold down the old key Efazin windows or the option key Efsing mark. So you can just click and it's going to create this dot for you. Okay, So you can go on to the next point where you want to create that shift. You can still hover over and then you can create another dot, right? Now you can be able to, let's say we zoom this out a little bit so you can be able to see it very clearly what I'm talking about. So these are the two dots I created. And if you want to create a fade in, you can see we can select them and you can reduce the volume. Over here it's one volume, and then over here it's another volume. Okay. So you can play around with them on your own. You can manually increase and then decrease the volume on this section as you, so the music is going to play loud at this section and then play low. Okay. It's going to go down at this section. And if you want to, you can add one more here so you can make more meaning from here. You can try to increase the volume. All right? So you can come over here and you can see that you can increase the volume from this end. All right, so with reference to this one, so let's say we create another dot. So let's do this from this point, we create another dot. All right, so hold down the option key and then create the dot. So we have to here reference to this small one. You can just come over here and you can see we can increase the volume from this end. Now this end is having a different volume only that it just fits in, fades out, and fits in to this volume. So let's have a preview of what I'm just talking about. Yeah, that's it. And then from the smaller volume and it's just going to accelerate up. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Usually this is the first way I do that. There's another way also I do it. So you can do this in both cases. Remove the dots. Another way that you can install the same transition, but then with the fade in is for example, you can use the razor blade tool and just create a court maybe let's say at this point I need to create the court here. So you create the court here. And then from this volume you want to die out to a smaller volume. So you can go back to your selection tool, and then you can come over here, over over this until you have your coal turns into this. You can select lower the volume at this now. Now what this means is if you're playing at this volume, it just abruptly go silent to the second volume. This is okay, but sometimes it's abrupt and it doesn't look professional. What I do in this case, I'll just select the junction or the transition point in between the two volumes. I can just write, click and say add cross fed frames, 12 frame cross fed. So I can just select so you can see we have added a cross fed. It's just going to fade out. It's just like the same thing we did with the dots. But then this one is much more better. Let me show you why it is better. You can zoom in, we'll be able to see. It doesn't just abruptly enter the second one, it just dies out with the Fed. And this has an advantage because you can drag and move it across to any point. You can decide where you want the cross fed to increase or to start. This is very movable, you can do that with the dot, but sometimes it's abrupt and you may make some mistakes. Because if you are not so used to the dots, you may make some mistakes, but this has a better advantage. And you can select the cross fed or the transition. And you can increase it if you want. You can increase the duration or the length if you want. And you can position it anywhere, again, like I've explained. You can position it at any point to start your creation. Okay, So this is playing around with the volume, okay? So you can still select that, any section of the clip or the audio. And you can still come back here and you can play around with the volume control, you can play out the pan control dialogue, the pitch. You can set in the speed change if you want to change the speed, which we're going to cover later, maybe true the tutorial, we're going to look at how to change the speed and then we have other things like the equalizer you can enable and play around with the equalizer. I'm going to show you how to do that in the fear light very much sooner. Okay, so I think this concludes the tutorial on how to insert music and play around with it. Maybe do some cuttings, can cut and join things around. You can edit things, you can add cross fades in and fade out. And you can play out with the volume on your own manually, or you can use the white line to kind of increase or decrease the audio. Okay, so in the next class we're going to look at how to use the Fear light in the ventures of to play around with our audio or to enhance the audio to some better level so that we can sound a bit better when you're creating a video. Okay, so I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 15. Basics of Fairlight: Okay, so in the last class we talked about how to add and manage audio within the vent, resolve timeline. And in this class we are going to talk about how to use the fair light to manage your audio. Maybe to add in some key features that you cannot find at the edit tab. Okay, so usually the edit tab is for general function. Sometimes you can, like we've explained in the previous video, you can select a particular audio and you'll be able to have access from the inspector. You have access to most of the key editing features of audio. Okay. You have a bunch of controls that you can work with. But the main thing, the main concept, the main editing of audio takes place in the fare light. That's how the venture resolve is being designed to work. Okay, so for this tutorial we're going to look at how to use Fairlight. Now from the editor you can just go ahead and click on Fair Light to start editing your audio. Clicking that, you'll notice that you are brought into this very kind of complex, but it's very simple platform that you can directly work on. So what you see here is the timeline, the main time line, all right, where you can have access to all of your audio. Okay? It doesn't bring in any video footage here, but all the audio footage, you can find them and you can select and have their properties. And you can play around with their properties over here. So this is my background music and this is the audio that I have inserted, the voice over that I've inserted. Okay, so let me just show you a bit about the far lights platform so that you can understand. It's just like the normal platform that we have. We have the media pool. If you want to enable it, you can bring it up and you can import, drag, and drop your media. Or you correctly can go to import media and you can import your media directly very easily. And then you have effects. If you want to enable effects just like the way you have in the other view, you can enable effects indexed and you can have the sound library and so on. You can enable all of them from here, only in most cases, I try to free all of this so that I can have the timeline to be a bit free. So you can have access to full access. And you'll be able to work with it directly now. You have the layers of tracks. Okay. Like I said, it's only the audio. If you want to see the video tracks, you can come over here to the top and this timeline view, you can display, track, display, okay. You can come to this one, video tracks, you can be able to see the video tracks from here. Okay. So it just helps you with that. So you'll be able to see all of your video tracks. I always like to have it this way because it's easier so that you can know where you are in the editing process. Okay, so this is it. At the top here, you have the meter which is a bit confusing but it's nothing serious. You get to understand it. And then we have this controls, these are body controls. And then over here we have this preview panel. Okay, this is where you can preview all of the video footage. You can be able to preview it from here. Again, you have the meters, you have the inspector, you have the method data that you can always work with, and then where you have the mixer. Okay. The mixer is usually looking complex, but it's nothing. Also, you just have the option to check out which truck you are specifically working on. This is audio two. This is audio one, okay? Audio two, and so on. And then all of the editings that you carry out should be on audio one, If you want to target audio one, or if you want to target audio two, everything should be on audio two. Let's say we select this, let's say carname, the audio, you can just select. You can rename the truck and just select and make it, let's say this is voice over, all right? So you can click out, this is voice over and then this is background music. So you can just double click and say background music and select and say background music. Okay, so you can click out and you have voice over and background music to add any feature to enable to kick start adding any feature within resolve or within flight. You can extend the view so that we can be able to see the details. You can do that from here using this detail. You can click and you can be able to see all of your audio very clearly. Then you can do the extension also from here. So you can extend the length so you'll be able to see very clearly what you're working on. All right, so we can use the playhead just like the way we have in all of our editings. You can click to start hearing what you have. All right, so let's see. Welcome to this course. And now usually what I used to do is before I try to see how I can enhance any kind of audio because this voice over have recorded it using audacity. And I think this sound is a bit better, but we can make it better with fear. Light in the adventure resolve. Usually I used to have the before and the after. So let's say we have a section of this, so let's say we have a section of this. Let me use common B to create a split in between the two clips. All right, so I can move this one away and then probably can delete this section just to make sure we have the defore and thereafter, so we'll be able to hear it very, very clearly. So we can copy this, then we can paste it somewhere here. All right, so let's move this to the beginning. Move this over here. We have two clips which are the same, but then we'll be able to add the details or the changes on the first clip. So let's move this to another truck. Okay, so let's say we move it to another track and so we can be able to have our effects on this voice over track. This is audio three now. Okay, So let's say now on audio two, we can be able to go ahead and give our changes. Okay, so let's go back to audio two and this where everything is going to happen to so we can come over here in the mixer. This where you have the audio two usually have a bunch of impute devices. Imputes that you can add. At this point, I don't want to add anything. Track effects, and then this order, you can change the order in which you want. You can click on this and you have these different orders. The effects to dynamics, to EQ, effects, EQ, and Dynamics. Usually I go for this one. Eq, effects and dynamic changes. Okay? So you can select on this and then I want to cope with it. Then usually one of the most important point is the effects, okay? You can hit on this plus sign, you can see multiple effects, then you can add without you having to add on a particular clip. You can add on the entire track, okay? So you can see channel display distortion dynamics and Q, okay, so usually I add EQ, so you can go ahead and add EQ. And let's say I add the parametric equalizer, so I can select on this, and you just added it directly. All right, So you can hear the before and the after if you are interested. All right, so right now we've added the parametric equalizer. You can click to how we change, but you can hear some changes on this course and the guide this. All right. So parametric coalitor is not enough. We have to click on the plow sign to add others like the dynamics. So we do add the I do add sometimes I do at the restoration, the first thing I do is the noise reduction. We can come over and noise reduction and you have a bunch of other different things less close on the equalizer. Okay. There we have a bunch of other things that you can try over here. Data detection, sin, the output, you'll be able to see that. Mostly I check on these defaults, there are some presets that are given very, very nice results. Mostly I do select the rumble, all right, So you can see the profile from here and you'll be able to hear the input when you play it. You I'm welcome to this course and Dr. Rashid app. I think this sound is a bit different from the one that we do have. There's a bit of enhancement in it, but then again you can clear out with the sensitivity by coming over here. You can just drag to the left to increase the sensitivity or reduce it as sows and Dr. I think this is very, very nice. And it is very sharp when compared with this one. So Leia before. All right. Let the before. Okay, I solo mute this. Let me calmuttlomutet. Okay, so we can hear the before. Yeah, I think there's much of a difference. It's sharper over there. So let me. So this, it's very much sharper. Come to this course and the pache, yeah, that's perfect and that's fantastic. So you can just try to see which one works for you better. But for me, the I usually go with the rumble and then I can close on this. Okay. I don't touch much on the other features, the wheels I don't touch. And then we can add other features. Still selecting and still on the two track. So you can come over here and you can just go ahead and click on the plus sign. You can add the, sometimes you hear the sound is quite visible or it's quite pronounced. So you can use the do add the S sometimes. And I don't use the default come over and I use the Mal okay. It helps me to reduce the sound, the intensity of the manually play around with the feature. Also from here, the intensity, okay, The amount of the SR, you can reduce it over here. But you can still play within the clip to here where you have the S and how it's being pronounced. Electra, Love Creek. That's good. But then let's try to on our own manually play around with this. This is good thing around here is okay. World video editing. All right, so I think this is okay at this moment if you want to reduce the intensity a little bit. But I think at this moment I like what I see, so I just go ahead and close on this. Now, another thing I do add is dynamics, okay? So I can come to the dynamics obvious and double click. And then you can go ahead and change a number of things. Usually I don't touch much on this, but you have a bunch of controls. Like the gain reduction, the make up, the output selection and so on. You can play out with the features from here, you can increase or decrease the make up from here, but I usually keep it. At default, what I do is I come to the presets and I use Dialogue Basic. That's the one I use Dialogue Basic, and it gives me this much settings and everything is super. Let's before this, I think it gives it a little bit of a perfect sharp. Let's before. Okay, I mute at this. Let me slow this a hello and welcome to discourse. I think this is much better. Okay, so I don't trust much. But this is okay for the dynamics. Okay, so you can close on this and then we can come down here to the EQ. You can do the EQ also from the edit tab. If you click, you'll be able to see from the audio, if you select on the audio, you're able to have the EQ also from here. You can see this is, this is equal Ader. If you enable it, you can carry out nearly the same operations here. But then I prefer everything to be done on the flight because this when you have access to everything in detail. So let's see the EQ, you just double click on this particular track and you have this dialogue appearing and you have a number of things also to choose from. This appears in band 234.5 okay? So you can be able to see the bands when you try to play around with them. You'll be able to hear how it's going to affect your music. And you go to the top light your audio. So let's hear for this, All right. So let me slow this again and welcome to this course. So let's bring it down so you hear the difference between what I was just talking about and welcome to this course. You guide this adventure. Elect a speaker. I love creating content. In this course, we're taking the world, video editing. All right. So I think this is okay. So you can take this up and then hear what it's usually it's try on your own and see which one works best. And welcome discourse. All right, so let's bring this down in a repeat. You can see the difference, but you have to keep it on top of this line. Then you'll be able to see that it gives you a more composed sound that's perfect. But then if you want to go with the presets, I think it's perfect also to go with the preset. The preset I usually use is this dialogue. Mel. I usually use this dialogue, Mel. So you can just select it and you have everything in the preset level, okay? Depending on what you're trying to create. You can play out with the features if you're interested. You can vary the frequency and you'll be able to see which one you can vary. But at this moment, let's hear the previews to hear what changes it has given to our voice over. Hello, I'm welcome to this course, and I think this is fantastic. Okay, It sounds very, very nice and good. So basically this is what I do add, okay? In terms of the gain or voice over the sound. I can increase the gain from here or reduce it directly from here. Okay? So I usually increase it a little bit, but then for you to know exactly what is happening, that's when the meters now comes into play. If you see the red sign, it means it's speaking. So you have to reduce the voice lit. So let's hear that. I think it is speaking. So we can just reduce bits of the sound. Okay, so let's reduce it. I think this is okay. But then you can increase it a little bit. Yeah, I think it's okay. So this is just a bit about how we play with Odio within resolve. Okay, How do we add different features? Like I said, again, you can have access to the same feature when you are back in in the edit tab, but then the same way that you have in the D tab, you can equally have the other audio properties from the inspector. As you select the audio, you can come to the inspector tab over here like we've explained earlier, you'll be able to have access to all of the volume control, the pan control, the pitch control, and all the speed change equalizer and all that. You'll be able to have access to all of them you can select and then you can play around with the equalizer as well from here. Basically, this is how to play around with your audio. You can just go ahead and give it a try, import your audio and see how you can manipulate it and add some features, add some effects and see how it's going to be improved. But resolve is really, really fantastic and is very, very perfect when it comes to audio editing. I hope you enjoy this video. Just go ahead and give it a try. This for just beginners use. In the next class, we are going to look at how to add correation within resolve. Okay, correation is another key feature that resolve is really, really very good at. And that's what we're going to consider in the color tab over here. All right, so until next time, thanks for watching, and I look forward to seeing you in the next class. Bye. 16. Adding Colouration: All right, so in the last class we talked about how to use fair light to enhance our audio within Aventisov. In this class, we are going to look at how to enhance the color of footage within Da Ventureso. Just picking some colors and make some enhancements to maybe bring out the beauty of using color. Now Venturesov have it very different when compared with other video editing that you can edit everything in one place. Vent resolve has a specific page for color correction. So let me start from the edit page. Let me add this. The media, okay, this one that we have is a bit flat and it's very easy to show you the enhancement and the color correction in it. This is a raw footage from the camera directly. So I'm going to enhance this using vent, resolve to start enhancing or to start working on color mind you. This is a very basic tutorial designed strictly for beginners. If you're an expert or if you're an experienced user better, you check another video. But for this to start color correction, all you need is come to the color page over here. You just click on the color page. And what this does is it opens up the footage that you have. Okay. Don't look confused because it might appear too confusing or too complex to confuse you or thereabout has nothing to be confused about. It's just when you understand how it works, it's very easy. So these are the footage that you have, it just brought in the footage. You can use the playhead to navigate across to see your footage. Okay. Very easily, you can navigate around to see a preview. These are the video footage that you have. This is view one and V two. This is the videos that you have. This is the roles that we've added in the video, if you could remember. And then these are the few pages arranged accordingly from the editor. Right, so over here you have a preview panel and then this is your media pull as usual devient have share the same timeline for all the pages that we have. Okay, so it's very easy to navigate around. This is the preview panel and over here you have this as the node panel where you're adding different nodes for color corrections. You can add different notes and you can work on each one of them separately or simultaneously. All right, so down here you have a bunch of other features. This on its own, you can have a complete course about how to use coloration in Diventsul because this is the industry standard software. It's equipped with quite a lot of features. All right. So in the color, you have the color wheels directly, primary color wheels directly from the bottom left over here. And you have a number of options. Also you can see different, different other features. But for now, our main concern at beginner level is the color wheels. Okay, Primary color wheels. Then we'll talk about the curves. Also the curves incorporating different kind of colorations. Over here we have the RGB colors, okay? So you can play around with them. Then at the bottom right, over here you have the S. All right. This is the S. Make sure that the scope is just what guides you during your editing, but then before you start anything, I want to show you how to make sure that all of your color, everything is being done correctly and you're having what I'm having you come down here to the bottom right and click on this icon. And then if you come to color management, you just be able to confirm that the color size is Da Vinci Y RGB and then the color output is rec 79. Just make sure this is correct and then you save it. All right. So what you notice here is that we have the gamma, do you have the lifts then? We have the Gamma, we have the gain. It talks about the lighting and this is the offset. And it talks about the global video. Whatever you change here, it's going to be global. So we have in each case, we have the small dot, okay. You can use the wheel to increase or decrease footage to make changes or you can use the small dot over here. You can decide to play around with the footage by just moving forward to this dot and you can click on it to start making increase. You can increase and make it warmer, or you can come down to make it cooler or thereabouts. So it's just for you to just learn to play around with things over here. If you don't want what you see, you can always double click to have it back to normal, okay? So if you change anything and you don't like it, you can always click to bring it back to normal. And then down here you have the color wheels. Okay, These are master wheels. We call them the master wheels, you can increase or decrease them. And then we have other controls down here. Okay? I will show you how to use some of them. Now before you start, if you are a very, very basic cleaner, you can start by using the auto correction. Okay? So the auto correction is located here. Once you click on the auto correction, you can see it does a very, very fantastic job by just automatically adjusting everything. If you want to know that. Let's go back to the editing tab. Can come back to the edit and you'll be able to see the before and the after. This is just the auto correct. So let's go back, put in some more tweaking so that it looks much, much better and professional. So this is the before and the after. So you can see, let's try to see how we can add in some more colorations to them. So let's start with the lift. We can come down to the color wheels. I'm not a fan of this wheel, this top one. I kind like using them. I prefer to use the ones down here. So let's add in some little bit of blackness, okay, so let the blacks kind of pop out, so be black. All right? So we can just move them a little bit. To give them that small touch and then we can add the color boost a little bit. All right, don't make it too much because it to show too much. I think 79, we can add a little bit of it still. You should pay attention to the scopes over here so you don't overdo things. Then over here you have the gamma which you can adjust from here as well. All right, a little bit of a tweak can give us a bit of a good result. All right, I think this is okay. And then you can reduce the shadow if you want a little bit. All right, So -20 19 is okay. And then you can add the, increase the highlight a little bit over here. I don't make it too much because the scope 70 trip and move away from the range. Okay, So you can just bring down a little bit so they stay within the scope. All right, so they stay within the scope. Then another thing I'd like to put is the saturation. I used to add a little bit of a saturation to my video. All right, so adding the saturation can give them the exact color that they have. Okay, I think this is now popping out a little bit clearly. If you have anything, you may play out with the offset over here. Bring this down a little bit. Okay, and I think this is good. So let's go back to the edit and try to check around the before and the after. Okay, the before and the after. Let's try to play this so you can see the preview of what I'm just talking about, okay? You can see how we have colored it very, very perfectly and nice. Okay, this is the after, and this is the before what we have prior to our editing. Okay? So this is the before and that is after. We call this the color by passing, okay? By pass color, by pass color. And all the changes you have you can use. This is a very good feature. So you can come back here and let's see. You have the color curves over here. You can touch on anything you can feel free to just select. Usually I start with white. Okay, You can start with white. And then I do make two dots from here. At any given point, I make two dots. Then if you raise this a little bit, you can see it increases the whites too much. You can bring it down, you can bring it, if you bring it put in, the blacks and the black areas also appear a little bit black. Usually make a small S, shape to give it much of a professional look. Okay, This is the white. You can balance it, and if you notice that there's too much red color, you can also select the red color and reduce the red color. Okay? By selecting and you can bring down the red. Okay, removing the red, also bring out a lot of difference. So you have to be very careful with how you reduce the red. And if you notice there is too much green, you can as well select and reduce it a little bit, okay? Can reduce it and you see what it brought to your color and you can always take it back to normal. Or if you increase it, you see what it does to your column. So it all boils down to what professionalism you want to bring into your video and how you want to DTT. You can always master, play around with it at any given point. This is the blue color. You can also play around with the blue color and change it. And if you want to reset any of the colors, you can as well select it. And hit on the Reset button over here. And everything is going to be reset. All right? So it's all boils down to you what you are looking for, what you want. You can always reset from here. And then you can play around with the other features, the loss and heights. If you want, you can also all tweak it from here. So it's very easy to play around with the features. But this, like I said, is at the very much beginner level, you have other controls that you might be interested in, like for example, this color Pa. Or you can have the qualifier HL, which I don't touch and I will not like you to touch as a beginner level. Just go ahead with the most very basic things that you have here and you're good to go and have a professional looking videotape. You can correct and use your Youtube channel or for online courses worth there about. Okay. So basically this is it. You can always come back to the edits, like I said, and try to visualize the before and thereafter to appreciate what you have done as regards the color correction. Okay. So I think that does it for this tutorial on how to add coloration to your footage at beginner level. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching. In the next class, we're going to look at how to kick start editing from scratch using in the adventures of how do we start from scratch, bringing media apply most of the key features that we've learned. To just edit a simple video to output it in this very course. Okay, so I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next one. Bye. 17. Sample Video Editing from Scratch: All right, so in the last class we talked about how to add coloration, basic coloration to our video footage. And in this class we're going to look at sample video editing. How you can edit your video. Again from the ventures of okay, starting from scratch. So we can save this. Usually to save you can just come to file and just go ahead and see Safe project and you save everything. Now I want to create a new project and start working afresh. To start, we can come to the file over here and you can say New Project. And you can name your project directly from here. So let's complete complete video editing sample. And you can click Concrete. And now we have a fresh blank diving che resolve page. Okay, so the purpose of this is just for us to revisit the key features on what we have done. The basic editings that we've done, the ideas, the concepts that we've learned through this course to just be able to put everything in practice. So we start with the importing media page. We can stay at the media pitch and then we can come to the master page over here and create a new bin over here. We can name it anything, for example, we can create a new bin, we can call it media, for example. We can call this media. And we can go ahead and right click anywhere. You can select it and come over here and say Import media. We can just go ahead and import our media, for example. In the ventures of here, we have this media Have, okay, I have these videos, I have these two. And I can just select all of these videos and just import them into this media. At this point, I wanted to change because I want everything in my videos and my selection to be the same. Okay? Again, if you want to play around with, if you want to change the sentence, you can always come over to the wheels over here and you can change the master settings like we've explained. Basically, all we just need is just to have our settings, the timeline resolution to be 1920 by 1080. And the frame rate, I have it to be 29.97 just like we explained in the earlier stage at the beginning of the editorial. So you don't want everything to change, You can change the clip rather to suit your settings in the vent result. So if imported some video media, okay, if you want you can import audio as well. So let's add more media. Okay, import media. Let's say we go this time around to venture resolve. We'll come down here and say images. All right, let's select all of this and import them. We add them here. Let's add more import media. And then we can go to audio. All right, let's go to resolve. Let's import audio. This time around. We select all of this audio and import them into our media. Now we have imported all media. All we need is now to move straight to the edit page. Because I usually have working in the edit page, we're here, we could just easily select double click. You can see a video on the timeline. So we can have a preview of it by just clicking. And you can see this is what we have. If you'd like, you can start looking. This is the beginning. I want to capture this up to this point. All right, up to this point when they enter this. So I can hit, I want the beginning to be the point I hit on letter. And then this point to be my out point. So before I start importing anything, I have to create a timeline by just right clicking here. I come to time lines, I secreate a new timeline. And I can see my sample editing. And I leave everything at default except like I've explained, if you want to change other things like the format and so I don't want to change anything, so I leave everything at default and I secret. And I've created this very timeline sample editing. So I can now start by selecting my video clip. Okay, let's select a video clip Starting from this one, I can highlight the endpoint. So let's say this is my end point, this is my endpoint. And now move here up to this point. I'll define this as my out point. Now I can easily drag and drop it in my time line. Okay, So let me zoom to fit. Okay, so I drag and drop it in my timeline. I drag and drop this section. Okay? So what I want is I want the video to play up to this point, okay, when they enter the C, okay, before they start swimming together to this point. Okay, so this is what I've imported, the section that I've highlighted. All right, so I can import another one. So let's say we have maybe one, They're swimming. See something like this. Let's let this be part of it. This one, I don't want them to see everything as regards this. This is too long. Okay, let me on this clip. Okay, I want to trim from the edges. Maybe up to this point, they should be able to see up to this point. All right, up to this point, I can trim from the edges. Can just rug and trim it up to here. Then let me trim one more time. Probably up to here I'll be able to see everything. Okay, let me select this to make it manual. Y. All right. Let me make it manual here so I'll be able to see the clips continuously. So once they enter into the sea, they start to see this animal again, this to toy. All right, so then they continue with their swimming. So I want to bring another part of the same video. All right, so I'll just double click again and to find another point. Let's say I call this point the point. And I move again to this point. Okay? I call this again the point, and then move my playhead up to this point. Then I call this the out point, and I easily drag and drop this. All right, so we can see we are now swimming inside. Let's say they see something again, something like, let me find another thing. Okay, this image can come at the beginning. Let's select everything. Let's bring it to this side. This side, we have this image. All right, this is it. Let's say at this introductory part, this is just a bigger picture of the C. Before they start jumping in, let me cut at this point. Hold this and use the common to create a split. And select this section and delete. Then I can select these other sections and bring them back. Okay. So it now start with something like showing the entire beach. Okay. The bigger picture. And then these tourists now swimming inside and falling inside and they see the tortoise. Okay? And then they now held their hands and continue swimming very easily. All right, so this is basically what I want to create is a simple story. For example, I can put in some background music to this also. Let's say we have this one. There's nothing in this. So we can all link this. We can select out, select this and delete. We can bring down easily because there's nothing in the music background. Then we can add this background music, so we can just drag and drop it. Yeah, again, you can see it gives us that feeling that something is happening. It's a good background music. We can select this, come over to the audio control and just try to see how we can reduce the volume to maybe negative. I think negative 11 is good. Let's try to play it and see. Yeah, I think it's good. So we have to create a cut here at the end of it all, we create a cut come and to create a cout, selected section. And delete it. And then let's try to add in a fade out by coming to the top right over here to this white dot. And we can just drag to create a fade out of this March 2. And we can create a fade in also of this second. Okay, let's have it. All right, so I think this is good. It's now beginning to look good. The only thing we need to add is we need to add some transitions that this one doesn't, just into this one. And then acid moving also. It just doesn't cut into the totals. Let's add in some transitions in between them. So let's zoom out a little bit. All right, let's zoom out a bit. That over here we try to add a transition. So how do we add transitions? Again, we can come to effect from effect video transitions. Over here we have different kind of transitions. If you want to see it, all you need is just to bring a play to the transition point in between the two clips again. So you have this transition, this is how they're going to t this is blood dissolve. I don't like it cross dissolve. I think it's good. So we can just drag and drop it to the time line. Okay, in between the two clips. Okay, so if you want to put it in between the two clips, you can select over here and drag. All right, when you hover over the edge of this and you move towards the edge, you can see that it is at the end of it. So we have not trimmed it at all. So we can create a little bit of a trim here. Maybe even if it is some seconds then we'll be able to inside the transition between both of them. Let's be at this trim edit mode. So we can select over here and we can just move this a little bit, just a little, and then we release. Now when we hover over, we'll be able to see that this section has been premed by seeing the green sign and also this one if you hover. Click and hold. You see that the section had been trimmed, so we can now add a transition in between them easily. Cross this off is good, so we can drag and drop it here. So you can see we have the transition added in between. We can extend the length of the transition. Let me do this. We can extend the length of the transition just by coming back to the selection tool. We can click to select the transition. Let me zone this out a little bit. We can select the transition. We can change the transition again, like we've explained. You can add anyone okay, of your choice. So you'll be able to change it directly. I think cross this off is okay. And extend the duration. I think the duration is okay. Let's play to have a preview. Also. I think this is fantastic for this one. Let's try to come to the edge. You can see this one also have not been trimmed. It come to here and just try to create that a little bit of a little bit. So it just enters here. This one. As we can see, it's okay. So we can insert another type of dissolve transition. Let's say we put in this push, or we can insert in between them and select and extend a little bit. Come back to the selection tool. Select can select and extend it a little bit. Or the length. I think the length is okay as it is. So we can have a push. All right, so that's perfect. All right, so this is what I want. This is about transitions. Another thing that we can add is we can add text into our video. To add a text again, you can still come to effect, you can come to titles. Over here we have a number of titles like we've explained earlier. So I want to add in Welcome to Lanka over here. So let's just check around. Can have multiple of them, but I think I prefer. Let's go with plain text. Okay, we can just drag and drop it here. All right, Let's zoom to fit everything we can. Move this to the beginning again. We can just select and then come over here and put in our title, Welcome to Lanai. Maybe this is not law, but it's just an island. I'm just demonstrating that this is Langkawi, for example. You have a number of controls that we've explained. You can play out with these features if you want to use the title plus also you can okay by just can see text, you can use it I think. Let's say I highlight this. I can put in some animations to it. Maybe add some transition how it comes in and goes out. Adding this transition, let's add this transition into it, all right? All right, we add this to it and we have the slide out also to it at the end. All right, in each case as well, you can select and you can enhance or extend the length of the transition. Let's have a preview of what we're talking about. The image comes in, the text comes in and then it goes out that. So it just slides out like that. Okay, I compare with the features also from here. So let's make it this pentagon Arris. And let's have another preview of four vistas. Okay? So I think it's okay. So this is how to add this. If you want to replicate this on the other places, you can just select and select everything. You can copy, you can just add it to the other places. Let me zone this out. So let's say we have this to zone to fit at this point. Let's extend to this point. All right, And then here is, let's say entering the C. And then we can just copy and paste it. Let's past can extend this. We'll be able to move this across and say this is entering the. So we can select, come over here, select the top O and come to the top. And then we can change, we can say, see if you want. You can change the transitions with the about. I think this is okay. All right, so you can just extend the length to make it cover up to this point. So we can have that push and then going out like this. Let's change it to something band wide, I think it's okay. Next we have, we can past again and we can call it wonderful Creatures can still come back here. So we can select See. Wonderful. Creatures, we can zoom out. Let's say this stays on board up to this point. We can have a adventurous view. Just select and pass. This can call this the Adventurous view. Enjoying the view. If you don't want this position that it is, you can bring it down. For example, in our own case, we can select and we can bring it down. We can bring this down. Okay, so we can bring it down from the position over here. Let's say we'll bring it down directly. Let's bring it down here. Okay, then at the end of it all, I want to add another track that say thanks for watching something like let's go to titles. And I want to add something. Okay, I want to add this text over she, so we can and drop it over here. This talks about thanks for watching. So we can select it and we can just come over. This is the first text. Thanks. So for example, thanks. Then we can go over, we can come down here and this is the second text. This is then this is the last text. All right. This is the last text. So we can put watching all. Thanks for watching and let's try to make this a little bit smaller. Okay, let's see. Thanks for watching. Okay, let's let me Okay, so we can have it. Yeah, I think this is it. Thanks for watching. I think this is what I want, the end of it all. Okay, so I think basically you get the message, how we just try to play around with the features and then import things around and past them. So let's say at the last stage we want to add this to play around with the video, so that we know the coloration. So that we know that we did something that has to do with color also over here. So let's bring this to the last end over here. Let's select this video. Let's say we're taking some part of it. Let's say from here, let's say this is in point. Let's say up to this point, this is outpoint. Let's drag and drop it on the channel just like. All right, so we drop it here and then these are. Thanks for watching. Can steal and it's all. Let's select this because this is a rough footage. We can do some very basic editing also as regards the colors you select go to Color. And then again, like we've explained the tutorial, we can start with the auto edit and you can see it does a fantastic job. Okay, as regards the auto correction, so we'll be able to see the before and after also what we come over here. This is the before and this is after. I think it does a fantastic job as regards the coloration, but then we still have to maybe make some few touches. Okay, we can come down here and we can play around with the color boost. Boost the color a little bit, and then we can reduce the shadow. Okay, so you can see we've boosted the color a bit. And then the highlights, we can add a little bit of a highlight so we'll be able to see clearly what we have. And then we can add the saturation at B. So everything now pops out very, very clear. And I think everything is now very clear. So let's go back again one more time to try the before and the after so we can see what we have done. So this is the before and this is the after in terms of what we have created. Okay. So you can see everything is now very, very clear. Okay. So this is one of the powers of the venture resolve when it comes to coloration. It does a fantastic job for you. Don't have to worry about the tweaks, you don't have to make too much tweaks to have one of the best things we would resolve. All right, so I think this does it on this tutorial on how to do a bit of a sample editing from scratch involving some of the things we have planned over here. Also, you can proceed to add some transitions. But however, I'll finish up this editing and then you just get the message. I'll finish up the editing and in the next class, we're going to learn how to export this video within the venture resolve using the various formats that we have. So until next time, thanks for watching and I enjoy the video as it please. Thank you. I'll see you in the next class. 18. Exporting Videos: All right, so in the last class we talked about how to create a video from scratch, basic editing, to learn about some of the key features that we learn through the editorial and we learn to create a basic video edits from scratch. To this point, I've managed to create something like this video and in this class we're going to learn how to export it in different formats within resolve. So exporting is very easy. Assuming you have created this video, you like what we see, let's try to play it so that we can have a little bit of preview of what we've just created so that we can be able to experience it before we go into the exporting process. Yeah, I think this is what I want. And I've created something at least just to demonstrate the use of some of the features. So the next thing is to export. The video now to export, we can come to the page called deliver. Just like the name. Deliver means tett getting something. All right, so we're delivering something, so we just come to the deliver page, which is the exporting page. Now over here you have a bunch of other different type of formats that you can export your videos from. So as usual the firsting' make sure you give the video NM. All right, so you specify the name that you want to give. For example, in our own case, in our own case we get VTN M sample video editing. All right, so you specify the location where you want to save this. So you can go to Browse. Where do you want to save this? You can go to your desktop, for example. I have this seven Eres tutorial and I can, I can name folder called Output for example. And I can go ahead and save it over there. So we define the name of, define the location where we want to save it. Now the next thing is the format. I usually I go with MP four and I'll go with H 264, which is the best in terms of quality and even the sizing. Okay, so you make sure you define the resolutions down here. This is what we have stated already, 21920 by 1080, as well as the frame rate. If you want a different frame rate, then you can go ahead and define. But everything here, we want it a default, everything we can set to automatic and the key frame is automatic. We'll go with this frame rate and everything, We can keep a default, except if you want to check in the advanced tools over here, which I don't advise for beginner level, you don't need to check anything. Subtitle settings, you don't have to check anything over here. All right, so once you're done, you select Render over here. You can just go ahead and say Add to render que. And it's going to Add to render que, you start rendering, so let's go ahead and add the surrender que. And you can see it's been added to our render queue. So this now you can add as many videos as you want to render to Q. You can que them over here, and once you want to start exporting, you can come all the way here and start. You can surrender all, or you can see render Q and it's going to start rendering the video. So let's surrender all. And this is going to start rendering the video. You can see the percentage and it's going to render the video and take it to that location that you have defined. Okay, So it's very easy to render video and create video in debenture, resolve. So the key thing is to go on with your own creativity. Use your creativity to see how or what you can try to create with this software. Okay. It's fantastic. It is very powerful. It's industry recommended software for any video editing, filmmaking. You can do quite a lot for this and it's very free to use except if you want to go with this studio version, which at this point, for a beginner, I don't advise. So we just finished you rendering. Let us play the video in the background at the end of this. So I think this concludes this tutorial on how to render and export our video within the ventures of. So in the next, which is going to be the last class, it's going to be about conclusion about this whole course. And then a project, a mini project that you can do to demonstrate your understanding of this tutorial or of this course. This a simple project that you're going to create just to demonstrate understanding. So I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing you in the next one by Coach. 19.
