2. Interface and Media Pool: First thing we need to do is
set up our local database. When you open up the software, you have this project libraries. If you don't see it, you
have this little button here and you can see
your local database. This is where you keep your
files or the database, you can allocate this database
to an external drive. For example, you just add a new project library and you
put the name that you want. You can see here, if I
do reveal in finder, it will show me where it
is on the hard drive. Now all you have to do is open
up this entitled project. You always have the
entitled project. When you open up the project, you have a couple of
buttons here where you can import and export
your projects. And you can create new project. But this is also a new project. You always have this one. If we double click on this one, the software will open. And this is the main workspace. Here you have your pages. The software is divided by pages like it was,
different softwares. You have the media, you
have the cut at it, Fusion, color, fair
light, and deliver. What you can do is
right click over here and set show
icons and labels. This way you can see
what every page is. We start by using the media. This is the media P.
This is where you grab your files and you
organize your files. I have my files here. What I need to do
is just important. You have this media
storage window over here that you
can turn on and off. You have the clone
tool but you have also audio metadata inspector and
capture on the right side. You can close all of them
by clicking on the icon. And this will all be closed and you only see
your media pool. This is where you
bring your files. The first thing we need
to do is just import into our media pool
from our media storage. I'll grab my files. I had to copy some
files to my desktop. So now I have my option
of desktop right here and I can import
my folder videos. If I go into videos, I have a lot of videos
here that you can watch. And I'll leave those videos up on the web page so you can
download them if you want. This is videos from an old
version of Web Summit. Especially for Web Summit, what we need to do is we want to import the videos
into our media pool. There's a lot of ways to do it. The simplest way is
just to select a few and drag them
into the media pool. This is the best option. It will ask you to change
the project frame rate. This is why it's showing because the framerate of the project
that's already set up, it's different from the source. I might say, okay, I want to change, this
will change my project. And we'll open up
video clips over here. As you can see, you can go ahead and already
scrub through them. And let me just turn off the
sound so that we don't have any sound right
here as I scrub to the videos because the sound doesn't even matter on this one. So what you need to do
is just scrub into them. You can see why you want, you can see me here on the
web summit, last version. You can see all these files. And then what you need to do
is start editing from them. But you can organize this
part in a very simple way. You have this master, this is where you import all the files. What you need to do
is create a new, being a new bean is
like a new folder. You import the new bean, and you create the new
bean and you name it. For example, day one, day one, day one, okay. Now you have day
one. For example, let's say from this one to this, it's from day one. What you need to do is just
drag them into day one. Let's create a new one. You can right click over
here or just go here. Right click New Bean, or you have the shortcut. Let's call it day two. And now we just grab
them into day two. And it's organized,
There's a lot of ways to organize already
files, but for this case, this is pretty much
what you need to do for your files in the beginning just to get them organized
in the software. You also have smart
beans within keywords. This is to make really
high end selections. For example, if you
want to make it by brand whatever it is, you can create those keywords and you have those
selections over here. But you can always access your media pool whenever
you're in the software. Whether it's in the cut page, on the edit page, whatever, Here you have all the files. If you want to import some
more, you just grab them. All the files are linked base. This means if you delete
them from the media pool, you're not deleting them
from the hard drive, you're just deleting them
from your media pool. The links to the hard drive, let's say you're using
an external drive, be careful because
once you're importing, you're not actually
copying the files, you're just driving
and making some links. So be aware, just copy
the files first to a hard drive that
you're going to have it plugged on your laptop. Once we have our
selection of videos, you can see the videos
also over here. You can select one of the
videos, double click, open in the window, just
scrub into the video. It's very nice just to see
it over here on the di pool. You can also see in another
form, for example, like this, if you open up the
day one folder, you have this view view in the term nil or
even view as list. So you can see all the
properties from the files, whether it's a resolution, whether it's frame per
second, whatever it is. Okay, let's jump into
the second module.
3. Timelines and Rough Cut Clips: Okay, module two, and we're starting to go
into the cut page. We have two ways of editing
videos with Da Vinci. We have the cut page,
it's a simple way, just cut and paste. It's very basic, but you can actually do pretty
much everything. For this course, I'm going to focus mainly on the cut page
and not on the edit page. We jump into the cut page. As you can see, we already
have our media pool open. This is where we see our files. I have some other tabs here like sync in transitions,
titles, and effects. This tree, we're going
to look at them. We have the quick
export full screen and inspector on the right side. If we go to media pool, what we have is master day one because this is the one
that it was opened. What you can do to
access the other ones, you see that little
icon over there. You can go ahead
and select Master. You could select
day one, day two, if you want to see the folders like you had on the media pool on the cut page, because this is mostly
to make it faster, you won't be able to, but you can go ahead on
the arrow and selected. You'll be able to use
it on the edit page. It's a little
different but it has much more options and sometimes
it might be confusing. Let's jump back to the cut page. Let's say we are starting
to edit the day one. What we need to create
is a new timeline. For example, each timeline
is like a project. Let's say we want to make
five shorts or five reels. We want to create the first one, we go ahead right click here and we can create
the new timeline. Or you can use the shortcut
command n. Or in case of PC, it's control n, create
a new timeline. What happens is it's doing
the start time code. As you can see, sometimes it
has the 01 at the beginning. This doesn't really
matter because you're not working
on time code basis. This is for online. Let's say time line one instead
of time line one. Well, let's call it real one. We would like probably
two video tracks because we can change between
them and audio tracks. Let's say we'll put two also because we want some noise
from the background. And we're going to
insert some music, the audio track
Hystero for online. And let's do an empty timeline. As you can see here you
have project settings. And here we have to
make some changes because we didn't set up
the project settings. That's this little icon at the corner where you can set
up the project settings. It doesn't really
matter because we're setting up here for our real. If you tick that off, you're going to format. You select the time resolution
and 1920 by 1080 full HD, but we're going to select the
used vertical resolution. As you can see now it changes 1080-1920 instead of
1920 to 1080. It's fine. I don't have to
change anything else, but actually I do. Depending on your phone or whether you're capturing with your phone or with the camera, you need to be aware
of the frame rate. In the beginning, Da Vinci asked you if you want to change the frame rate
depending on the files, but you actually have to think on the frame
rate of the delivery. In case of Instagram, it's 30 frames per second. You just have to put this
mismatch resolution scale full framed with crop. So it's going to scale the projects up
within the monitor, you don't have to make any
changes within the output, Within the output,
nothing else to change. And within color,
nothing else to change. For this kind of delivery, all you need to do is
to change the name, Everything here and in the format use 1080
vertical resolution, 30 frames per second. And let's create. Now you can see that we have our real and our vertical
video to work with. And as you can see,
the place where the timeline was is
inside the master, not inside the day one. If you want to make it
inside the day one, just drag it to the
day one and it's fine. You already have it
inside the day one, we have our real
open and now what we need to do is drag our
clips to our timeline. There's a lot of ways to do it. Let's say you want to just drag it first and then cut
it on the timeline. Or the other option that
you can do is just double click the video and edit the in and out
point of the video. It's the piece of the
video that you need. Let's say we want
from here to here. I just want this
transition here. And I'll mark the in and out, and I'll drag this
into my project. As you can see, once you
change the timeline, if you're scrubbing
to the videos, this is what's going to happen. You can change it up here so you can watch the video
over at the source. Not the project. You can see the difference just
changing by button. You can see whether you're looking at the video,
the full video, because I shot
this horizontally, I want to see it like this. Then once I make
my ins and outs, and I'll drag it to
my timeline just by having that short
period that I need. Because I might want to
focus on this guy over here. Move my image. Because
it was centered. It's not focusing on him, but to have better quality,
you shoot vertically. Also. That way you
don't have to make any crops or changes like that. It's just a walk around
on the web summit. Let's just grab endpoint. And I do this by pressing the, on my keyboard for, and I'll press it's for out
and I have my selection. If I go back to my project, as you can see here, the in
and out is just that piece. Now you see it's not the
full video like we had. It's just the selection. If you go back to the selection, this is all we're seeing
when we select like this. Because now the video
has a mark in Mark out. You can change it
later if you want to grab another part of that video. Grab that and drag it down here. There's two ways to drag it. You can drag on this one. You can see you have mostly two time lines You can drag on this one or you
can drag down here. It's the same thing over here. This first time line that you see is the full length
of the timeline. The one on the bottom is
just a zoomed part of it. Whether if you have your
playhead over here, this is the zoomed part
of that little piece. You cannot control
the zoom here. You don't have options
to control the zoom. Just scrub to front and end as you put other
files over here. Let's just grab this one. I'll double click on this one. Let's say I want
out part I drag, you can see you can drag it in here or you can drag
it directly in here. Let's just, let's grab this one and put it
over at the end. If you drag it all the
way through the end, this timeline, it
reduces to two. Now you have one first
clip and a second clip. And you can see the
transition over here. If you press Play to press
Play, it's the space bar. You see the jump cut over there. You can also do here
play backwards. Or you can use three shortcuts
that are very useful. It's the JKL, just to make
it faster or forward. Okay, this isn't one way
to scrub to the videos. Okay, let's say we have
our transition over here. I don't like the
movement at the end. I want to cut a little piece of this I can do very easily, is just select this clip. Go right to the end of the clip. And you can see that your
mouse courser changes. You can click and drag all the way where you
have your playhead. Actually, it snaps
to the playhead. It makes it even easier to edit because it will
grab that playhead. Now you have your
transition over there. Let's say we go back
to the beginning. In the beginning, after this girl passes the
image I want over here. But I don't want to go ahead and grab all the weight
from the beginning. What I can do, I
can use a keyboard shortcut that it's
command B for blade. And what I did, I did
a cut on the clip. And now I select the first
part and just press delete. That whole part is deleted. And now I have my first
clip and my second clip. Okay, this is the
pretty basic of it, just writing clips
into the timeline, just moving them around, just grabbing the end and
the back, making a cut. So that you can
get rid of parts, you can actually make
cuts in the middle. Let's say we want to cut here. Make a cut command B and make
another cut around here. Now what I can do, I can select this part in the middle and if
I press the Lit, I just have to press the Let. You can see that the other clips just magnetic connect
to the first one. Now you have this jump cut
of an image like okay, it's, we could use
some zooming effects so that we could
make this transition work better instead
just of a jump cut. We'll get into that
in the next module.
4. Editing: In this new module, we're going to look at moving up the files and moving up
the editing the clips. Getting some other
stuff in here. What we need to do,
as you can see, we have our timeline
and now let's say we want to put this clip
back in the beginning. Let's say we want to
start with this one. All you need to do is
just click and drag. You can drag it over there. You can see that the
clip is going to push the other one forward
if I leave it there. Now this is the first clip, the other one is the second. And then the third clip. You can do scrubbing like this with every clip if you actually, let's say we want to
put a new part of it. Let's just grab
something from this one. Okay, let's put some
part of this one. Let's do in and out
point over here. And we want to make it like a role now all you
need to do is drag it. And we can drag it
on top of this one. Because we added the
second video line. Let's say you don't have
a second video track and I'm going to
delete the track. As you can see
here, I don't have a second video track
because I forgot to put it. If you just go ahead and
drag and drop over there, even if you don't
have the video track, you can see that you
can put it on top. You will automatically create the second video track this
way once you scrub the video, now you press play, you see the other part
changes back to our clip. We can see our transition here
and is as simple as this. So you have your clips here. Let's make some
changes like zoom in, Zoom out what you need to do. Every clip that you select has the properties for the
changing of the properties. There's two ways to do it. You can go ahead if you're doing watching the source
clip, the timeline. You can see here when you're
selecting the timeline, let's say you want more
space out of this. It doesn't really matter because this one is vertical video. But we can click here. This is the options
where you can transform your video directly over there. What you can do, you can, for example, resize the video. Okay, let's say you want
to resize the video. Or let's say you want to
get not the central part, but the part on the side. Now you can see this
person talking here. And I can have them focusing on that part of the video and
not the center of the video. This is a very quick transform. By using this, you have values. We're going to look at those
values that you see here. You can also watch
them on the inspector, probably on this window,
it's more precise. You can see here, you can reset. For example, the zoom, let's say we want to
zoom in, zoom out. This is where you
zoom in your image and you can put it
back. Reset the value. Move the position
over here just on X. This way you're not moving
the damage up and down. You're making sure that you just moved damage to the side. You can use rotating. Let's say you want to open up your clip with a fast
rotation like this, then it goes up to zero. Just to do an animation, you can do anchor point. This is the point where
you grab the video. As you can see, the anchor point here is grabbing the
video by the middle. When we're using rotation, it's rotating by that part. If we change the anchor
point, for example, let's say we put the anchor
point over there on the top. When you use rotation, it's rotating from that point. What we need to do,
reset this, all of this. And I can actually use this
pitch to change it like this. Maybe you want to
do some lettering and some lettering going up. I know you know the reference, but you also have this yaw that you can actually
make this tre D movement. Let's do it like this.
And you still have the flip, horizontal or vertical. Let's say you put your
phone upside down so you can shoot like
closer to the floor. And then you want to
move the, the video. You can use the flip
buttons over here. It's very quick to do this. You have a bunch of options, but all those options
are also over here. We have cropping. You
can crop the video, a part of it, It's
cropping from the side. You can turn off, and
you can turn on and off. Just to see, let's say
zoom or without zoom, you can see the difference
between one and the other. This is also helpful and this one is very good
because it's the dynamic zoom, this will make the zoom
that we want automatically. What I mean by this is As you can see, this
green part is the zoom. It will start with zooming on that and finish on zooming out. It's not zooming in,
it's zooming out. If we go back and press play now you can see it's
very zoomed on that guy. And it's zooming out. But because we have
the whole video, this is processing the zooming out from the beginning
of the clip to the end. This is not what we want. We want just a little bit in the beginning what we can do, for example, on
this one turn on. But what we do, we move just a little bit
of the video and we're going to make a cut
command B, and I'll make a cut. What happens is now I have my zoom from this beginning
on this clip over here, I go into dynamic
zoom and turn it off. If I now press play as you saw, you have just the zoom
in the beginning. Let's change the window
so that we don't see the zooming as you can see here. Let's go into zoom part. You see here, you see the zoom out very fast and then it
doesn't have any zoom. I make a cut in the beginning of the clip just to zoom in
that part to make it faster. This is very fast to
do and once you get the hang of it going to edit
your videos in no time. This is all the things
you can do now, Let's say for example, on this little part here, I want to focus more on
those guys at the table. What I'll do is I'm
on the transform. I'll grab those, I'll
move it over here. What I can do, I can zoom in
like this over at that guy. Now if I go back,
let me just do, because I pressed that
button now if I press play, I can see that guy zoomed in. My clip is already changed. So you can see all the changes
that you can make here. They are very fast to do, very intuitive to work with. You have all these options from transformations with
zoom position angles, you can crop a video. Let's say you have two
people talk. For example. Let's say we want to put two
videos at the same time. I can even do one video here. This video like this,
I'm just using the legs. I'm going into crop, I'll crop the top
right at the middle. Now I'll grab another video. I'll put it over here. I'll go back to the end. I'll select this one and
make a cut. This part here. The second part, I'm going
to delete it because I don't want to using this part. I actually believe this
part in the bottom, it's almost the same,
it's the same clip. But what I'll do
now on the top one, I'll go into the video. I'll go into crop, and
I'll crop the bottom. This way I'll have one
video and a second one. Okay, Now I have two
videos at the same time, look as a press play. I have one video at the, one video at the top. Of course, if it
is not centered, because let's say we want
not to crop as much, what we could have done is
we can go into cropping. You can crop the videos here. I can crop like this and
move the video up within the transform just to have more people centered on the bottom one doing
the same thing. I'll go into crop, I'll just move the crop
up a little bit, and in the transform I'll
move it down a little bit. I'll leave that little
bar in the middle just so I can see the division
between both of them. Now I have two clips At the same time you see two
parts people walking. This could make a cool effect
and jump into the big one. Also, you have to utilize all the screen that you
have, it's not too big. Don't forget that you
have some buttons over on the right side and on the
bottom information over there. Be careful when you're using video for social
media like this. What else can we do?
We have the zooming. We have also this opacity. This opacity, You can make
a transition like this. I'll teach you on
the fourth model how you can create key
frames to animate stuff. But for now, all
you can see here is the transitions
that are very simple. All the options that
you have in video is transform Cropping,
Dynamic Zoom. It's the one that
you zoom in and out automatically from the beginning
to the end of the clip. This way, if you
have a small clip, it will make the zoom faster. Then you have Composite, where you can composite images with one another,
similar to Photoshop. If you already know Photoshop, you have compositing modes like add color, burn, et cetera. You have opacity, you
have speed change, stabilization, lens
correction, re time. We don't going to go
into all of them, I'm just making sure you have the right tools so you can
edit your social media videos. Let's jump into fourth model.
5. Keyframes: All right, jumping
into this module, we're going to work with some key frames, just
simple animations. Let's say we want these two
clips that we have here, one coming up from the top, another one coming
up from the bottom, and this one coming
down from the top. What we need to do is we'll
go select the first one. What we need, we can turn off the transformation over
here on the screen because we're working on the
inspector at the beginning. There's this concept
of key framing. Key framing, this means that
you put a keyframe on time, saying that at this point
you're at a specific position, and other point in time you're
at a different position. You always need two key frames. Two key frames, one
at the beginning, saying where you are
and where you're going between those key frames. This is where you
have your animation. What we'll do is at
the beginning of the clip in the position, in this case, I'll use a keyframe and you can see
the right button over there. As I turn on, this means I
recorded my first key frame. What I want to do, I want
to record the second one, because I want this to
move a little fast. Let me just press plate
to see how fast it is. Right about here. I want
the animation to be done. I put the second key frame. As you can see, I put the
key frames first without changes because the image
is already constructed, it's already in place. What I need to do
is I need to go back to the first key frame
and make the changes, because I want the image
to come scrolling down. You can see here, once you
create your key frames, you have this little arrow. You can navigate to
the first key frame, or you can navigate to
the second key frame. Let's go to the first.
And what I'll do, I'll move my position
in the Y axis. And I'll move it all the way up until my image is
outside the frame. And what I need to do is I'm going to do the same thing on
the image from the bottom. I'll go into position, make sure you have the
clip selected or else you're making changes on
the first clip on this one. I'll make changes on this one. I'll make a keyframe here because I want them at
both at the same time. What I'll do, I'll use
this trick that I'll select the clip on the top. I'll navigate to the
second key frame. Then I select the
clip on the bottom, and I give it a keyframe. This way I have the key
frames exactly at same time. Now I navigate to the first
one in the beginning, in the y axis, I'll put it down
outside the image. It's done. It's as
simple as this. If I press play, you can see
you have your animation. You can be very creative
with this animation. We're also going to introduce some titles
and some effect. We'll do that on
the next module. Within transformation, you can make a
transformation like this. Let's say we want to make a transformation
out of this one. Because we don't want
to just to cut it, make a cut like a fast cut. I want to go into dark. What I'll do right about here, I'll go into composite
on the opacity, I'll do the same thing,
one key frame at 100. And at the end what I'll do, I'll put this not the key frame, but this keyframe at zero. This will do a fade transition. Let's watch. It
fades into black. And now it moves the other
two clips just clamping down. Okay, this is pretty much you need to know
about animation. You can be very creative
with all this movement, all options that you have here. If you see a little
button like this, it means it has a key frame. Okay, let's jump
into module five.
6. Transitions, Titles and Effects: Okay, in this module
we're going to look into some titles,
Transitions and Effects. Let's first jump
into transitions. You go up here and you
select transitions. We made the manual transitions
do using the key frames. And this is a very useful
way of learning about transitions because this
way you can do as you want, if you want to at the
same time do a fade out. And do, you can do all of those at the same
time with the transitions. Your limit to what the
transition has to offer. Say we're going to put
a new clip over here. Let's just go back
into Dipole and I'll grab this clip and
I'll put it at the end. Now I have this passage over here and I want to make
a transition over here. I'll go into my
transitions and you can see you have all
these transitions here. Some of them are just for
wedding purposes or whatever. Some of them you're not
going to use because they're spiral wipe
whatever it is, it's too cool for this. But let's say we
want to open up like this and you can want
to use the center wipe. You just need to drag this
into the middle over there. You can see it
didn't do anything. I'll try again and I'll
drag it down here. And the reason it's
not doing anything because you see
it's flashing red. This means there's not
enough time to make a transition once you're
thinking about the transition. And if you look
at the transition as the transition is going on, you need a little
bit of video from the first video
over that passage. You need a little
bit of the beginning of the other video to
make the transition. What you need to
do is very simple, just remove a little bit, remove another bit from there. And now you removed a little bit from the
end of that clip. A little bit at the beginning. And now you can do
your transition if you just drag
it now over there, you can see you can drag it there or you can drag it here. Once you're dragging,
you can see that you're going to put over at the
beginning of that one, or in the middle of both, or
in the beginning of that. You can see it's not available. There's only one way to do it. Let's just put it
in the middle this way it's just doing the
transition at the middle. And as you can see here, you press play and you
have your transition. You can go through all of them. Maybe you find one that
you like the most. If you want, for example, to use just a blur, dissolve. This one is pretty cool. You can just drag over there
and you replace that one. You cannot use multiple
transitions at the same time. If you want to use that, it will be composition
within moving. This is why I usually teach within using
the key frames first. Because within the key frames, you can actually use an
effect to make a transition. You can create that transition with the blur and
with all the options. And you have that
manually set up for the transition better than the ones that are pre made. It's limited to what
they have to offer. But some of them for this quick video editing, they're fine. Let's say we want
to do this faster. What you need to do
is just go ahead on the transition, make it smaller. Just grab the end of it
and make it smaller. This way the transition is much faster as you can see here. Now it's just like my
computer is jumping. Okay, It's rendering something. Maybe it's because of the
recording of the screen. As you can see here, it's making this fast
transition with the blur. Some of them are heavier
than other ones. Let's say we use just
a simple A star, okay? Just a fast maybe it's not too bad just to
use a star like that. This is the use of
the transitions. Just go ahead and
experiment with them. All of them, it's pretty useful. Some of them have options. Once you select the transition, you see on the inspector, you have transition
and you have options. For example, here
I have my star, I have my star over here, let's say I want to change
it to something else. I have a star. A square iris. Iris. And all of these options are pretty
much what you have here. Let's say barn door,
it's already there. Let's say a box, let's
say a clock wipe. All you need to do is
change over there, and now you have a clock wipe. It was later on the day and
you made that transition. This is pretty all
you need to do. Also you have cross
fade for audio. We'll jump into audio
in a little bit, but it will make the
transition for the audio also. Jumping from transitions,
we'll jump into titles. As you can see here, you
have the option titles, you have a couple
of options here. You have titles, the basic ones, and you have these
fusion titles. The Fusion ones.
That means you can actually go into Fusion
and make changes. We're not going into those, we're just going to
use these simple ones. Let's say at the beginning of the clip we want to
use some graphics. What you could do is grab
this, for example, text. I'll drag it and put
it at the beginning. Now I have some text,
then I have my image. Let's say the text
is taking too long. I can grab just the end of
it and put it over there. Now my text is just this
then goes into this. Actually, you can go
back to transitions and let's say we want to use a cross dissolve
between these two. What I, let me just
put it smaller. What I have is from text, I'll jump into my video. Okay, this is pretty simple to use. And you
jump it like this. What options do we
have for the text? If you click on the text, if you go onto the inspector, you have a bunch of options. You have your custom cycle. Let's say this is Web Summit, day one, you can press
Enter and press again. Day one, we'll do it like
this. I'll select the one. I'll increase the size, but you can see you
cannot increase the size of an individual one. What you need to do is create three texts, simple as that. Create one on top of the other. And it's fine. You
can edit each one and the background is
transparent, so it's fine. You can go one on
top of the other. Let's say we have
this like this, the size of tracking day one. I don't like this font. I
want to change the font. I want to use my company's
font or whatever it is, or my logo font. And I'll use another font that I have here or
something like that. Whatever it is, it's fine. I actually have this option that it's very cool that
it's the right on. You can see right on here. What we could do
is we can utilize that key frame thing
and press the keyframe, right I'm out at the middle. I'll say it's already done. As you saw, I didn't actually create
the second key frame, but as I move the time and I
make a change on the value, it automatically
creates a key frame. What I have now is just
sipping in day one transition. How cool is that? Very simple. And you have your text also. What you can do,
let's say we want to put some text over here. We actually want to do
a trick where we have some text behind those videos. What we need to do,
we'll grab these two. As you can see, I just
click on the great part, like those two and
I'll move them up. But because I don't
have anything on the bottom you won't
allow me to do. I need to grab first a title. I'll grab a text. I'll
put it between there. I'll grab these two and I'll
put it on top like this. And you can see now
it has gray area. I'm going to delete it. I'll increase the
text to fit the clips like this just so I can have my transition at
the same time again. Okay, I have my clip
and over there you can already see the custom title over there in the background. What we need to do, let's turn over here the video
so I can see my title. You can see there are
turned off over there. I'm going to grab my
text and I'll say, people walking, something,
whatever it is, I'll put the text
over here, people, let me see if I fits the middle actually over there,
that division. I'll turn this on. Turn that
on exactly at the middle. Great. As you can
see, it's like this. What happens is now I
have something like this, people, it's at the middle. It's all about creativity
and you can be very creative with this and makes
a movement and everything. You have your titles, You have this title to scroll
like credits, You have this
middle, lower third. It's just for names or naming someone like
this or on the left. All of this is customizable. You can select the
text and you have a bunch of options over here. As you can see here, you only see audio track. You select the text,
you can see the text. Plus you have all these options. Tab spacing, advanced controls. You have so many things
that you could do, you can go into layout. Point center, z, whatever it is, you can animate characters, create shading on the text. Actually, let me just show you the shading because
this is quite useful. Let's put some text
over here on the top. On this case, I'll
put it on the top. Over here I have this title. But as you can see, because of the image in the background,
it doesn't read. Well, Let's say we want
to put a bigger font. Let's select Impact one
or something like that. That's big. Where's the impact? Here we go. Impact font.
Let's make it bigger. Okay, We can read it
a little bit better, but still we need some
stroking on the outside. You go into shading. You can see you have
select element. This is where you
change the color. Let's say we want to
change it into this just popped up my color window over here and I want
to change the color. Just go into there, but I
want to leave it at white. You have all these options in the Macbook on the PC
a little different, but mine is using this. Let's say we want to
create the stroke. As you can see here
on the appearance, you can select the stroke. But if you select the stroke now your element one
is just a stroke. What I need to do is okay, element one is just
the field color. I'll go into element two. I'll press enable. Now I select the stroke and
I have the thickness of it. I'll select, for example, black. Now I have a stroke
like this. Okay. Now you can see much
better the text. It's not doing anything with the background and it's
very readable like this. All right, that's
pretty much about text. Let's jump into effects. This last part of effects, what you need to do is go into effect and you have all
these options here. You have a bunch of effects
already on the software. If you have the studio
version of Da Vinci, you have even more effects. Some of them, some of them
might show up like this area. Actually, they're already here. But you can see on my laptop, I don't have the studio
version Mac over there here. On purpose for this course, I use the free version so
that you can have access. It's free, so it's very useful the ones that don't work
with the free version, you have this option saying
Davinci resolve studio. You cannot use lens flare, you cannot use the halotation, can use the Gaussian blur, you can use the blocks blur. There's a lot of effects
that you can use. Let's say we want to
use some binoculars. You can preview the effect just by moving your
mouse over it. Okay. For example, this
digital glitch, very used. This has been used so many
people use this and it's free. And you have the
CTV like it was. A capture can like
this or a DCLR. You can see the DCLRjust
DSLR for vertical, but we want to use night. Let's just do video
call one, okay? And you can see video call. It's similar to a video call. What I do, I'll drag
this into my clip now. My clip is that video call. Okay, let's say we want to use this and we want to make
some changes on the effect. As you can see here,
we have the transform, the cropping and everything. All you need to do is going
on the tab of effect. In effect, you have all
the controls over here. The position, you can zoom into the image
to make a transition, to get out of the call, you can actually move, so you have the
call button color, the shadow of the
screen over there. The alpha is the transparency. Some options that you have
here also have some settings. But this video call actually doesn't have too many options. Let's say I want to delete it. Just go on to over there. You can turn it off
and you won't see it, but you won't see the clip. All you need to do
is go over there, you see the trash can, you delete the filter, and
that's it. You back to normal. Let's say we want
to use some, okay? Real light is for studio. Okay. Let's say we're zooming in the image a
little bit and I want to use some sharp will sharpen
the image a little bit. You have to reach
limitation for Da Vinci. Okay. This one actually, it's for Davinci resolve. This is the option for buying. Not yet. I don't want to buy
because I already bought it. I don't want to use it. Here you can see the effect,
but you cannot. It will give you this
watermark. Let's remove it. Let's emboss mirrors. Let's say we want
to use the effect. You just have to go through all the effects and
see whatever it does, because we don't have time for this course to look
all into them. But I'll give you just a couple
mirror, the cool effect, let's say I don't want anything
from this on the mirrors. I can use the angle here. You can see you can
do some cool effects. Or I can even open up the position and I can make
a transition like this. You can see all of
them have key frames. It's just play
around a little bit with this and you're
done with your effects.
7. Music and Basic Color : Okay, so we have our
project almost done. What we want to do is go ahead and create some music for the project. We
have all of this. We say day one and we
want to put some music. You can jump into a website, for example, like Mix Kit,
you have three songs. You go into music and you
search something and let's say you have vital elements, but you also see the music
here that you can use. They are free. Ramp it up, we'll use this first one. Okay, cool. It's more
than cool for this, I'll just download it. You have in val elements
here, the promoting. But we'll jump into
our media pool. We'll grab our file from our downloads directly into
here into our media pool. Now I have my music here. It's very simple to use. I go back into my cut page. I go back to my media pool
over here on the top. And now I have my music over there and I want
to use the music. Let's say I don't want
to use the whole music. What I can do is I can go back here and listen
to the music. Let me just turn on the audio. Okay? As you can see
here from the wave form, I wanted to start it over there. I want to end it over here at the outpoint or because
this has an end over here, I'll use the outpoint over here and probably the endpoint now. I just want to drag this
over there to my clip. As you can see, it's not
filling up the whole thing. What I'll do, I'll grab the end, so make it to the end. Now I can actually
increase the beginning. It begins like this,
and you can see it's just starting right
away into the music. What I'm going to
do is two things. You can also use
transitions for the audio. Let's just use the
cross dissolve. Over here you can see
the cross dissolve. You cannot use it on the audio. What you need to grab on
the top you see video. You have audio. You have just three
simple transitions. They're pretty much the same. You're going to notice too much difference
on the crosspades. You can see this one
has the orange thing. It's the more common use one. I'll use this crosspade, I'll put it right
at the beginning. It's not allowing me to do it. Okay, there we go. I
have my cross fade now. My clip starts like this.
All right, there we go. Now at the end, also, the music already
ends like this. The music okay, as you can see, the music faded down. What I'm going to do, I'm going to fade down my image
at the same time. Right about here, I go into
my video clip on the top. I'll go into the
opacity on composite. I'll give a key
frame over there. At the end of this fade, I'll just put the
opacity at zero. Now what I have is, there we go. We still hear some things, some voices in the background. But this is our transition
as you can see here. The video, also the
clips have some sound. What you can do
just to listen to sound from one or the other, You have the sound
for the track, let's say you don't want to use, you can mute the whole track. Instead of going clip by clip, just muting each clip, you can mute the whole track. Now you can only hear the
music and not the sound. If you do the opposite, I don't know if you're
hearing, but it's already showing that sound
from the background. Just a little small thing. If you want to mix
them up a little bit, you can actually
mix up the tracks. Let's say the music is too loud. I can go into my clip and I
can bring the volume down. Now, both of them are actually
low, I could increase. But if you select the
clip and go here, you're increasing the
volume of just one clip. If you want to increase
the volume of the track. If you select over there,
you can see that if, once I select there, the option here audio, he says track level. So what I could have done is I can bring the track
level up a little bit. Now I can hear more of
those background sounds. Okay? But be careful
with the cuts, because on the cuts you might
notice that transition, and this is pretty much
it, all you need to do. Let's say we want
to mute that track. We'll just put the music, we have our animation done with some text
in the beginning. Some transitions,
some folds like this. All we have to do is
just deliver the file. Before we deliver, I just have this bonus thing to say to you. We have the edit page, we
didn't jump into the edit page. You might want to
use this edit page. It works in a little different. If you have experience with
some video editing software, this might be similar to
the other ones because you move the clips and the clips
stay where you move them, not like in the cut page. If you move them here,
they snap to one another. It's a little different
the method, but you have, you have so many more options, but you have a lot of
stuff you might want to do more advanced course. Hit me up and we'll talk
about that infusion. This is like the after effects, this is the animation of here you have some options
that you can use. Do some masking, do some, a lot of stuff.
It's very useful. Also, if you want to do create
more motion graphic stuff, then we have color in color. I don't want to go
too deep in this because this is too
much information. But what you can see here, you can see all your clips. Let's say in this clip particularly your
color is too dark. What you have here, one way to just simple tweak the
color a little bit. You have all these
options of menus here. And this one with the wheels, you have the primary
color wheels. This is all you need pretty much to work some color on this. You go, for example,
on the lift, let's say this is too dark, you have the color here. But I don't want to change the color of the
clip. It's fine. But I want to go
on this wheel over here just to increase
a little bit. The darkness on the lift is just push from the
darker colors, you have the whole gamma. And it pushes up everything. And you have the gain also
pushing up all the colors. It's much brighter. Now let's say we want just to bring down that
screen a little bit. You here for example,
the highlights. I'm bringing down the
highlights as you can see. Now I can see almost
what is at the screen. I cannot see it because the
capture with the camera, if you don't have
quality on capture, you're not going to have
quality on the editing. But just a little tweak on
the color on this clip. On the other clip,
you can have to do it individual by each clip. There's also ways of
doing the whole clips, but because it's
different clips, it doesn't make too
much sense to edit the whole thing
unless you're doing just like a black
and white thing. In effect in that way you
could have done differently. But this is about the
thing about color page. Now you have the fair light. It's sound design, sound
mixing, sound composing page. But we're jumping
into the liver. This is where you going to export your files
in the next module.
8. Export and Deliver: Okay, for the last module, we are working on delivering
into the export files. Delivering is the term, but we are going to
export the whole clip. You have a bunch of options. Once you go into deliver, you have the custom export. But if you scroll down here, you can see that
you already have options like for
example, Tiktok. Actually you don't
have Instagram. But it's the same thing. You already know, Tiktok, all you need to do, you
need to name your file. We delete the name
and let's put it real day one or real one,
day one location. We'll just put where
we want to record. Let's say we want to record in our desktop. We'll press Save. It's using vertical resolution, 1080 by 19 2030 frames
per second, P4h 264. It's already with all the
settings that you need. Actually what you can do, you can actually upload
directly to Tiktok. You have to connect
your account. I don't recommend
this because you might using your phone or you might using
another platform. Or you might using
a platform that distributes to all
the platforms. I actually don't recommend
this MS project. Okay, let's use the render to Q. What this will do, it will put your clip on the render que. This means if you have
another time line, if we go back to our editing, let's say we already
have the day two. Let's just create
a new time line. For example here,
second time line, We'll put it on the day two. We'll grab a bunch of clips. Put it on the second time
line. We'll put it here. Okay, all the clips
already done. We go into deliver. Now we have the second clip. This is all the clips.
As you can see here, frame rate is at 50 different because it's our project and
our project is different. Let's say we want to go back
and change the project. Go back in our timeline, the project is horizontal. If you want to change it, you can right click and
go to Timeline Settings. In this case, I don't want
to use project settings. I want to use again, the vertical resolution.
There we go. Also the other
option that we said, we want to use the
frames per second. But as you can see here, it's not allowing me to change because we already have
the files over here. No problem. We'll
put it like this. Can change actually the project settings like it was
talking in the beginning. If you go on this little corner here on the timeline frame rate, we put it at 30 and we press Save Change frame
rate, it's fine. Now, at the time line settings, it's still at 50
because of the clips. But if you delete all the clips, you change the
timeline settings. You can put whatever you want, but because you already have clips over there, you
cannot change it. Like that's fine. You know you have to
do the changes in the beginning so you
don't have this issue. But we go back into the deliver. The good thing about
this is you can deliver both reels
at the same time. Now we have the second timeline. We're going to use
another Tik Tok already. We call it real day one Desktop. Same thing. 30
frames per second. Okay. Add to render Q
All you need to do now. As you can see, you
have the time line called real one
and the other one, we didn't give a name,
it's time line two. Now if you have
just one selected, you will only render one. The first one, you'll
only render one. If you click outside, it will render all or you can select all of them that you
want and press Render all. Once you press Render All this is going to render the file. As you can see,
it's now working on it and rendering
our composition. Okay, it's already doing 2%
11% as you can see there, it's going through
the whole edit and rending out the file. If you want to use someone talking and you want
to put those captions, there's actually a
way to use captions inside of Davinci resolve. I'll show you just in a little bit just an extra
bonus for this course. But also you can
use an app like, for example, on your
phone, called captions. That's very easy, and
you can find those links in the description of the
course. Okay, here we go. We have our files done. As you can see here
at the desktop, we have our real day one were the zooming the
transitions and everything, and then we have our day two. Our day two is just a couple of clips that I put it
together and that's fine. You have your reels and
this is pretty much all you need to export them and
send them to your phone, or upload them from your
computer to your social network.
