Video Editing in DaVinci Resolve 18 - A Beginner’s Guide

1. Course Intro: Hey beautiful people. My name is Katie Jane, and I'm an aspiring scientist, video editor and finance geek. A couple of years ago, just before all this COVID shebang, I decided to teach myself video editing. So fished out YouTube videos from different YouTubers, spent lots of time grasping different concepts and after months of trial and error, use videos that this fellow here. One problem I encountered during this journey was that I didn't know where to start, which editors trust teach me properly. And essentially, I was just stuck in limbo. So to solve this problem, I've created this course which goes through the fundamentals of video editing in the ventral resolve, such as importing videos into timeline, trimming videos, adding effects such as video transitions, I think background music, and color correcting videos. I've also provided resources for you to practice different video editing techniques as I introduce them to you. This is a crucial part of your learning experience so that any of the techniques that you do learn from this course, you can fully grasp and take them away with. And what I'll do is I'll basically lifted from a beginner's level with no experience, an intermediate level. So you can edit videos like this and make your creative dreams come true. The best thing is this software is completely free, extremely easy to use. And the coolest thing about it is that it's used to edit giants in the Hollywood industry, such as Star Wars or my personal favorite parts of the Caribbean. So trust me on this one friend's stick with me to the end. And I promised you that once you have fully completed this course, you'll be able to edit good-quality videos for YouTube or any other software and start your journey in building your creative empire. So that's it for now. And see you guys in the next video. 2. Downloading DaVinci Resolve : Okay, so guys, what we're going to do now is we're going to download the Vinci Resolve 18. I'm going to click on my Safari browser. You can click on any browser that you're using. And then just typing in the search part, the Vinci Resolve. Hit enter, and then we want to click on this first website over here. So just click on this link. Just want to scroll down till you get to this bit over here. You want to double-click on this link here. And then this pop-up will come up. Now on the right, we have Da Vinci Resolve Studio 18 is the paid version of the Vinci resolve. It has a couple of more features and is used for more complex video editing. This version is basically perfect for beginner to intermediate levels of Da Vinci Resolve video editing, and I use it myself as well. I have a max. I'm going to click on this icon here. I'm just going to double-click on this. And this form will pop up. And essentially you just want to fill in these sections which have an asterisks. So I'm just going to fill it in now. Just want to keep this product information section the same. And then this section here, we will just ignore, hit this link register and download. Just like that. Automatically, dementia is of 18 should start to download. So as you can see, my phone is now downloading. However, if that doesn't happen, then to trigger the download, just click on this link over here. Okay? Okay. So once the Vinci resolve 18 has been downloaded, you just click on this upside down arrow icon over here. Then you just double-click on this link over here. So then you just double-click on this. And then this pop-up will come up. Then what you do is just continue to press Continue. And then as prompted, press agree. Then just click on Install. They might ask you to add in your password. So just import that. And then click Install software. And then just wait for the software to finish installing. Once the software has finished installing, you just press Close and then this pop-up will come up on. This pop-up is basically asking you if you want to move our installer. So da Vinci Resolve installer to the bin. And we do want to do that because it's no longer useful. So we just click Move to bend. Then. Now the venture is of software downloaded onto your device and then you just find the app and then open it up. So if you have a Mac, then you just go on applications and then just look for it. Then I'm just going to double-click on this icon over here. And then da Vinci Resolve will open up. So this is how the da Vinci resolve interface looks. As you can see, I have other projects over here. I've been working on before. For you. If it's your first time using the venture is of 18, you'll just have this one Untitled Project section over here. So that's all you need to know for downloading Da Vinci Resolve 18. And in the next video, I'll go through how to start a new project and to tweak the settings of your project and then start video editing. Thank you for watching this video and see you in the next video. 3. Starting Your Project : Okay, So I've clicked on the venture resolve and I've opened it up in my Mac. So this is the Vinci Resolve opened. And if you want to start a new project, simply just select New Project found in the bottom right-hand corner of the interface. This pop-up will come up and basically what you wanna do is you want to give your project a name. So I'm going to call my project motivational video here and just hit Create. So this is basically how the Da Vinci Resolve interface looks. And I understand it does look a bit daunting and intimidating at the moment, but I promise you, you will find it very, very simple once I go through it with you. So for now what we wanna do is you want to tweak the settings of our project. And the way we do that is we just click on the Settings icon found in the bottom right-hand corner. And in this Settings pop-up what we're going to do. So we're going to change the timeline resolution of our project. So adjust the timeline resolution of our project. And also what we're going to do is we're going to adjust the timeline frame rate. I'm playback frame rate of our project. So to adjust the timeline resolution of our project, what we wanna do is just want to click this arrow over here. And then you just scroll all the way down till we get to this point here. So we'd have 2080 times 720 HD, which is 720 p. And then the next resolution that we can have is 1920 times 1080 HD. And that's basically ten ADP resolution. Then we have 3840 times 2160 ultra HD, which is four K resolution. That's the highest resolution. And your video will be the most detail. However, the file size of your video will also be a bit larger. If you're editing on a laptop, then I'd suggest you use the 1920s times 1080 HD resolution. And that's the resolution that I'm going to select as well. Next, what we wanna do is we want to adjust the frame rate of our project. So first we're going to adjust the timeline frame rate of our project. And essentially your timeline frame rate needs to be set to the frame rate of the main video that you'll be editing if you're using the videos that I have provided for you. And hopefully you are following along with me as I'm going through this steps with you. If you are using the videos that I have set for you, then you want to adjust your timeline frame rate to 29.97. Okay? And that's because a frame rate of the main video that we'll be using in our project is 29 frames per second. Note that the playback frame rate needs to be set to the same frame rate as your timeline frame room. This was automatically adjusted for me, so I don't have to worry about it. But if it wasn't automatically adjusted for you, then you just best manually change it like this. So that's all done. All we need to do now is just hit save. And that's basically all you need to know for setting up your new project. One more thing to add before you start your video editing, you must turn LiveSafe on. It's actually very, very, very important, is one of the most important things I will teach you in this course. You don't want to be in a situation. We've edited a beautiful video for hours. And then just as you're finishing your final touches, your PC or your Mac crashes and you lose everything. Trust me, this has happened to me before and it's not a nice feeling. The way you turn on your LiveSafe is just go to the top menu bar over here, select the Vinci Resolve. Then from this drop-down, select preferences once you're here or you wanna do is select user, then select projects, save and load. And then if you're lifesaver isn't toggled on, you just toggle it on like that and then just hit Save. And that's it To be honest. Now we need to start importing our raw video. Before we do that, I need to explain that the venture resolve interface to you. So all of this and I'm going to do that in the next video. 4. Intro to all Tabs : Hey guys, welcome back again. So in this video, I'm basically going to explain all the different tabs to you in Da Vinci Resolve. Don't worry if you find this overwhelming. Just slowly go through this video, take notes if you need to. And by the end of this course, once you've actually used these different tabs in your video editing process, they will make a lot more sense to, again, take this as an opportunity to stress how important it is for you to complete the project I've set for you as you go along this course to learn visual editing, you must practice it yourself. And I've provided to all the resources you need practices. So to access all the different tabs and DaVinci Resolve, you basically use this menu bar at the bottom of the software. And I tab is basically this area that you see in front of you and isn't a space which you use to cut edit color, correct. And basically just jazz up your video. The first type I'm going to show you is the Media tab, and thus access by clicking on this icon over here. The Media tab looks very confusing, but its function is actually very simple. And that is to import all the raw footage that you need in your video. And then next hub that I'm going to show you is the cut tab. And that's access by clicking on this icon over here. Again, this tab looks very confusing, but its basic function is to just trim your raw footage and take out all the parts in the raw footage that you don't want in your final video. So that's the function of this tab over here. And the next tab is the edits tab, and thus accessed by clicking on this icon over here. This is a tab in which we basically put together all our own media on the timeline. So this timeline over here. And then we add text, graphics, video, audio transition, and all that fancy stuff. They'll basically make our final video look more interesting. Quick note here, the main bulk of video editing will occur in this tab over here. So this edits tab, and we'll also be importing our raw footage and trimming our raw footage in this tab over here. Now the reason why we will be importing our raw footage and trimming our raw footage in this tab. So these edits tab rather than the cut tab and the media tab, is simply because these two tubs I've mentioned only really used when editors are working on huge chunks of videos or if they're editing a movie or something like that, okay, As we're just making videos for social media, we don't really need them at the moment. Okay, the fourth tab I'm going to show you is a Fusion tab and less access by clicking on this icon over here. Okay, so now we're in the Fusion tab. And the Fusion tab is basically where we add complex animations and graphics, two-hour video. And the fifth tab I'm going to show you is the Color tab and mass basically access by clicking on this icon over here. This color tab is basically what we're going to use to color correct our videos. The next tab is a fair light tab, and that's accessed by clicking on this icon over here. The fair light tab is basically for fixing the audio of your video in more complex video editing. And the seventh and final tab is a Deliver tab, and that's accessed by clicking on this icon over here. And this Deliver tab is basically where you export your final edited video and basically just save it on your Mac or your PC. That's all you need to know about the Da Vinci Resolve interface in terms of the tubs, we're mainly going to spend most of our time in the editing tab found over here. So this tab over here, and in the next video, I'll explain how to import raw footage into this tab and then trim that raw footage before adding that raw footage onto our timeline or doing other fancy stuff to our footage. So see you in the next video. 5. Importing and Refining Raw Footage : Welcome again guys. In this video, we're going to learn how to import and refine our raw footage in the edits tab, this tab over here. So raw footage is basically the original footage you have shot on your cameras, which you then need to edit. If you're not using your own raw footage on following along, you can use the raw footage that I'll be using in this course so that a road B-roll. And you can also use the music and sound effects that I provide two, I'll explain in a later video what a role and B-roll is. And you can access this footage very easily by just downloading it from the projects and resources section of this course. So to import raw footage from our computer files and into da Vinci Resolve, There's actually two methods of doing this. And both methods are actually very simple and easy to learn, so don't worry. So the first method of importing raw footage into Da Vinci Resolve is by approaching this media pool window over here. Then just right-clicking in this window. Then from the drop-down, select Import Media. And then basically what you wanna do is just find the raw footage in your files. Then just select the footage which you want to import. A quick shortcut over here is to select multiple footage. Just press hold Command or Control if you're using a PC. And then just select or videos you want to import. And then just hit open over here. And this pop-up will come up. And we're basically asking you if you want to change your project frame rate to the frame rate of the videos that you're importing. You don't wanna do that. So just press don't change. And that's it. That's the first method of importing raw footage into da Vinci resolve. Now the second method is actually very easy. It's actually more easily than the first method. The second method, I'm just going to just take it off full screen. It gives it take the venture is awful screen. Then what I'm going to do is I'm just going to open up files like this. Then I'm just going to find the footage that I want to import. Okay? So this is one more video that I want to import. Okay? So I'm just going to click and hold and then just drag that footage into the media pool of the Vinci Resolve. And as you can see, I've imported this footage into the venture itself, and it was actually very, very simple. Okay, so what I want you guys to do now is I want you to pause the video and import your own raw footage into DaVinci, Resolve or input the raw footage provided for you as your project. Now before we move on to the second bit of this video, which is refining your raw footage. I'm going to tell you about two keyboard shortcuts crucial for you to learn. The first shortcut is the undo shortcut. And this is done by pressing Command or if you're using a PC control and said, so press Command and set. As you can see, that video which I just imported over here has disappeared. The second shortcut is a redo shortcut. This is done by pressing command. Again, if you're using a PC control and then shift and said, so Command Shift and said, As you can see, a video which I just removed has now come back again. These two shortcuts are crucial for you to learn because during video editing, you will make mistakes and you will want to undo certain things and want to also reduce certain things. And having these keyboard shortcuts at hand would basically be lifesavers for you. Now in the second part of the video, I'm going to teach you how to refine your raw footage. So refining your offer to just basically when you select specific parts of your raw footage and then import that into the meantime line, rather than importing your whole raw footage into the timeline. This is very important because it allows you to take out all the bits you don't need from your raw footage before you import it into the timeline. Therefore, making the whole editing process less messier. To refine your raw footage, first, what you need to do is select the raw footage. So this is a raw footage I'm going to select, select and hold, and then drag that raw footage onto the preview window. Okay, So this is a preview window. And essentially what the preview window allows us to do is it allows us to preview our video. So it allows us to preview our raw footage before we import it into the timeline. And to play a video in the preview window, you basically just press this triangle icon over here is like higher and it's getting burned. And to pause the video, you just press a square icon over here. Okay? And you can also hit the spacebar to play and pause the video. And essentially what you wanna do in this preview window is basically just find the section of your raw footage that you want to add to your timeline. Okay, so now I'm just going to scrub through my raw footage and then just find the start of the section of my raw footage, which I actually want to import into timeline. So essentially what this raw footage is is basically three different speeches. So three different motivational speeches joint together. And I want to just use the second motivational speech in my final video. Okay, so I've found the end of the first speech and sort of the beginning of the second speech. So this is how it goes. That's the end of the first pitch, and the second speech is just about to start. Okay, so this is a section of my raw footage that I actually want. Alright. Now what I'm going to do at this point is I'm going to set an end point by pressing I on my keyboard. That will set an end point. And then what I'm going to do is I'm just going to find the end of this section of my raw footage, which I want to add in my timeline. So I'm again just going to scrub through my raw footage. Now find the end of it. So this is the third species actually just started. Now, I'm just going to press the left arrow key to just move back. Okay? Hey, alright, so that's it. And I'm going to add this point, set an out point by pressing O on my keyboard. Now if you want to go back to your point for whatever reason and basically jumped to that point. What you do is just press Shift and I and your play head with jump to the end point. And if you want your playhead to jump to the point, you just press Shift and O. Okay, So these are just two keyboard shortcuts that could come in handy. And then once you've actually selected a section of your raw footage which you want to import into timeline. What you do is you just press and hold any point in your preview window and then just drag that into your timeline. And that's it really. This section of my raw footage that I wanted has now been imported into timeline. So I'm just going to now just scroll out of my timeline so that you guys can see this imported section. We're clearly not just one more thing that I'm going to explain to you guys. If you want to just import the video section, what you do is just hover over this preview window and then just click and hold this video icon over here. And then just drag that into your timeline. As you can see, just the video has been imported into the timeline. Same thing if you just want to import the audio of unwanted section into the timeline, again, you just hover over the preview window at this point over here. Then just click and hold this audio icon over here, and then just drag that into your timer. Now, I just did this for demonstration purposes and actually don't really want this. So I'm just going to undo this by pressing command and see. Okay. Another thing you can do to remove a clip is just click the clip and then just press backspace on your keyboard. And then that will just remove your clips. So hopefully you guys got that. Now I want you to go off and try refining the raw footage of the project that I've set you or refine your own raw footage that you are filmed. And add that to the main timeline over here and see you in the next video, where we'll basically go through the rest of the edit tab interface together. 6. The 'Edit' Tab : Welcome again guys. So hopefully you've refined your raw footage and imported it into the main timeline. In this video, I'm going to go through the rest of the edits workspace with you. So you are familiar with the workspace interface and the main tools you need in the workspace when editing, makes sure to pause the video whilst watching and take any notes that you need to and also play around with the software as we go along to get a firsthand feel of the things I'll be talking about. Okay, So as I mentioned in my previous window, this over here is a media pool. So this entire window over here. And if you want to quickly check what a video is about, simply just scrub through like this. So just hover over it, scrub through. So that's it for media pool. Next to the media pool we have the preview window and we went through this in the previous video. This is basically where we just preview of what it before importing it into the timeline. Now next to the preview window we have the playback window. Okay, so this over here is a playback window. And the playback window is basically used to view all the editing we've done in our timeline. So I'm just going to scrub through my timeline now. And you'll basically be able to see these video clips in my playback window. Okay? So as you can see, everything that's occurring in my timeline, I can view it in my playback Window. Now I'm basically going to take this as an opportunity to explain some of these icons over here in more detail. So as I've mentioned before, over here, this is a play button. If I click a certain amount of people. So start putting your effort into something you believe in. Even if it has. An over here is a stop button. If I click on it, my video, we'll basically pause. Now over here, we have the play reverse button. And essentially what this button does, if I click on it, my visual plane reverse. It sounds a bit weird, but that's the function of it. And that's basically all you really need to know. This button over here jumps your video to the end. And this one over here will jump you a video right to the start. And just for curiosity's sake, this is basically to loop your video. I'm just going to drag my playhead. And if I click on this and toggle it on, so this loop, if I toggle it on and then I was to play my video about the time. Start utilizing it. My video will automatically once it's finished, jumped the start, and then start again. So that's the function of this loop icon over here. Now let's move on to the main timeline, which is over here. This is basically where we're going to be building our entire story. Okay, so entire video is going to be built over here. And here we're going to add our video transitions or audio transitions, going to add any titles, B-roll, etc. So everything happens over here, and I'm going to go through that with you step-by-step. Now if you want to scrub through your timeline, just press hold of this play head. So just click on Home this play head and then just drag it through your clips. If you want to horizontally scroll through your timeline and this will be useful once you have more clips on your timeline, you just click and hold this slider over here and then you just strike that. The moment isn't very useful, but it'll be more useful once we have more clips on our timeline. If you're using a Mac, a PC, so any laptop, you just shortcut for this is by placing two fingers on your trackpad and then just move those fingers right and left, not to the left of our timeline. We have this tab over here on. This tab basically shows the number of tracks that we have in our timeline. Over here we have two trucks, one video track, which is here. This is a video track and one audio track. Our video track is called V1, and our audio track is called A1. And we can adjust the size of these tracks, but just hovering over these edges over here. I'm just clicking and dragging it down. And then you can also adjust the size of this by pressing hold and then dragging up with, okay. We could also move the tracks up and down, repressing whole look this middle board over here. So click and press hold and simply just drag it upwards, drag it downwards. And this will be useful once we have more tracks on our timeline. I finally, if you want to mute all the audio and in particular tracks, if you want to mute or this audio over here, you just press this icon over here. Okay? And now if I just play my video, you will no longer be able to hear this sound. I'm just going to unmute it. And again, you can hear the sound now. Watch when you're nine to five job or you hate it. Okay, so that's it for this tab over here. One last thing, I'm going to explain some of these icons in the middle tab over here. And I'm not gonna go through all of them because there'll be extremely overwhelming. I'm just going to go through about five really crucial tools that you will need to learn before we start the next phase of our editing. So first things first, this first icon to the far left is basically the timeline viewing options. If I click on it, this pop-up will come up and we basically use this. To change the way our timeline looks, okay, That's very useful if you're editing large chunks of video. At the moment, we only have two clips in our timeline. So it won't make that much of a difference. But I'm just going to go through some of these things over here. If you click on this first icon to the right over here. So this one here and toggle it off, the wavelength of our audio clip will disappear. And if we toggle it on again, the audio wave lines will reappear. I like to keep my audio wavelengths on because it basically gives us an idea of the volume of our audio. Alright, so this is basically what my audio is loud and this beginning bit over here where the wavelengths are quite short. So my audio is quite quiet. And below that we have the video view options. And that's basically to do with whether the thumbnails of our video clips appeared throughout the entire video clip. So as you can see over here, I'm just going to zoom into my timeline so that you can see it more clearly. Just like this. As you can see over here, the thumbnails, these images appear throughout my entire video clip. And that's because this is toggled on. If you want our thumbnails to just appear at the start and end of each video clip. We toggle this on. Yeah. So as you can see in this video clip over here, the thumbnail is now appearing at the beginning and at the end. And if we don't want our thumbnails to appear at all, we just toggle this 11. So as you can see, all the thumbnails have not disappeared. Again, I like to keep this one toggled on so I can see my thumbnails throughout my entire clip. And below that we have the audio View Options. And we can basically use that to change how the wave lines of our audio clips look. Here's a whole these look. I'm not going to really play around with this because not very useful. And below that we have the track height. So again, I explained how we can adjust track height in this tab over here, but we can also adjust it through here. I can make my track, shoot my video track shorter or longer. On my audio track. Shorter and longer. So, alright, so that's it for Timeline View options. Now to the left of this icon we have the Select icon, this icon over here. When that's toggled on, you basically have this arrow, this arrow that you can see. And you can basically just select clips and stuff in your timeline, move it around, et cetera, et cetera. So the next icon I'm going to tell you guys about is a blade icon. This icon over here, or one that's toggled on in our timeline instead of the arrow will have this blade appears again and we can basically just make cuts in our video clips that we have in the timeline. So as I don't actually want these cards, I'm just going to remove them by pressing command and said, Okay, so that's all gone. But that's basically the function of the blade tool. Now if you want to go back to our select tool, we can either toggle on the Select tool like that or a shorter way. So I'm just going to go back to the blade to a shorter way is using the shortcut a on our keyboard. So as you can see, I'm now on my select tool. And if I want to go back to my blade tool, I can use a shortcut B on my keyboard. So that's it for these icons. Now, on the far right, we have these icons over here, and that's basically used to zoom in and out of our timeline. So this first icon to the far left allows you to completely zoom out of your timeline. Because I was actually pretty zoomed out already, couldn't really see the effect that much. But if I zoom in now and I select this, or completely zoom out of my timeline icon next to this icon. So this one over here allows you to zoom into the timeline where the play head is. If I click on it, it is allows me to zoom into this section, alright, a bit more on this last icon allows you to zoom out of your timeline. Not too much, but to some extent. So I'm just going to completely zoom out. Now, if you want to manually zoom in and out of the timeline, you basically just click this slider and just drag it to the left. So to this minus if you want to zoom out and then to the plus if you want to zoom in. And that's basically all you need to know about the edits workspace for now. And see you in the next video where I'll walk you through on how to further cut or trim footage in the meantime line over here. Okay. 7. Cut/Trim Footage in the Main Timeline: So guys, now for the interesting part of video editing, where I'll explain to you how to cut and trim footage in the main timeline, this video is going to introduce you to a lot of new techniques. So don't be overwhelmed. Pause the video when you need to take notes and practice these techniques on the project that I have set for you. So in this stage, what we'll do is basically further refine our clips which are in our timeline. At the moment, we just have one clip, this clip over here. But if you're editing your own footage, it might have multiple clips of following along with the project that I have. You'll also be working with one clip. And as we've already refined this footage to some extent, using the preview window in a previous video, trimming and removing bits from this one clip that we have will be a lot more simpler. Okay, so first things first, I'm basically going to teach you how to remove the start of a clip and the end of a clip in timeline. And essentially you might want to remove the first bit of the clip because there's no one's speaking in the first part of the clip or there's some sort of noise or whatever. And we don't want the first part of the clip. In my case, our speaker is not actually speaking in the first part of the clip. So I just want to remove that section. Okay. So I'm just going to play. Okay. So I want to remove, Just so I'm just going to move back by pressing the left arrow key. I want to remove this whole, entire I'm just going to zoom in first as well. Slightly zoom in. I want to remove this entire portion of the start of this clip of mine. Okay, So what I'll do is I'll just hover over the edge until this arrow rectangle structure thing comes up, press and hold, and then just drag all the way until my playhead. Okay. And that's it. That's how you remove the start of a clip that we don't want. And then I'm just going to click my clip and then just drag it into the beginning of my timeline. And we can do the exact same thing to the end of our clip. So I'm just going to drag my playhead to the end of my clip. Then I'm going to find the portion that I want to trim. Okay, so I'm just going to zoom into my timeline a bit more. Just this much. It's making a difference. You want to make a difference. Certain amount of time. So this is a section of the end of the clip that I want to remove. So again, I'm just going to zoom in a bit more in the timeline, just hover over this end of the clip until this sort of ROE rectangle, I can think comes up, click and hold, and then just drag all the way until we get to our playhead. And that's it. That's basically how we trim the beginning and the end of our timeline. Now I'm basically going to teach you guys how to trim a middle sections. If you want to take how section in the middle of a clip, how do we do that? Sum basically first going to find a section of the clip actually want to remove. So I'm just going to scrub my play-head through my timeline. And I know that it's somewhere in this region. Serve this section which I want to remove. Okay? So this is a start of this section which I want to remove. Okay, So even if it has two from that point, I want to remove a portion of my clip. I'm just going to press the left arrow key now to slightly move back in my timeline. Okay, so this is a style section of the clip which I want to remove. And now I'm going to do is I'm just going to make a cut. This section. To make a cut in this section, we do is just press Command and B of using PC, then controlling be. Okay. So I've made a cut, as you can see in this section on my timeline. I don't know if it's very clear, but hopefully you can see that a bit more clearly. Okay? And then what I'm going to do is I'm just going to find the end of this section which I want to cut out. This is okay. Now I'm just going to move slightly, but this is the end of the section which I want to cut out. Alright? I'm just going to press Command and V again. And then simply what you do is just select this clip, okay, So this is a clip which I want to remove and just hit backspace on my keyboard that's removed the clip, but there's a gap here, uh, to remove the cap, simply just select the gap and just hit backspace and gap just disappears, get, and I'm just going to bring back that clip to demonstrate it. Easier way to do this. And now we just want to remove this whole clip. And easy way of doing it is to just push Shift and backspace again. And as you can see, the stream of the clip and the gap. Now another section that I want to remove is slightly towards the end. So I'm just going to scrub through my timeline again and find a section which I want to remove. Okay. Yeah, So this part over here, but when everyone or Musa, okay, so now I'm going to press Command and B again to make a cut at that point. Then I'm going to find the end of the section which I want to remove. I'm just going to zoom into my timeline. So this is basically what I want to remove. I want to remove this entire started, okay, so I'm just going to press Command and B now. Again, this is the point where the speaker who stutters and I'm just going to remove the whole section. We're pressing Shift and delete. I'm going to zoom out at the timeline again. And that's basically I've removed all the sections which I wanted to remove. The ripple effect is basically an even shorter way of trimming videos in the timeline. And don't worry, it's an extremely simple method and it really increases speed at which you edit the videos. If you want to remove a section of a clip, I'm just going to move my playhead to here. So if you want to remove a section of a clip from the playhead to the end of the clip. This little section over here. First what you do is you select the clip and then you apply the ripple edit right shortcut. The report that right shortcut is basically you press command or control if you're using a PC shift square bracket, right? And as you can see, the entire section of the clip from the playhead to the end of that clip was removed. I'm just going to bring that back by pressing command and said, Okay, now if you want to remove a section of the clip from the playhead to the start of the clip. So this section, again, what you do is just select the clip. My tip is already selected and then we apply the ripple edit left shortcut. This is basically where you press command or control if you're using a PC Shift and square bracket left. And as you can see, the entire section of my clip from the start of the clip to the playhead was removed. I'm just going to undo that action by pressing command and said, this is just too easy shortcuts to use to basically speed up your editing process. So now what I want you to do is just pause the video and edit your own clips in timeline. As an ending note, if I was to scrub my playhead across these clips. So just scrub them across. You can see that the players, so I'm just snaps and aligns with the gaps in between the clips. You see that? Also on a moving two clips together. If I was to move this clip apart and then I'll just going to move these clips together. You can see the eclipse just snap together. If I wanted to stop this, what I need to do is just click on this magnet tool over here and toggle it off. Okay, and now if I was to move my playhead, you can fancy no longer snaps. And also if I was to move my clips together, they wouldn't snap in place. One piece of advice over here, however, is that if you are moving two clips together, it is advisable that you have the snap tool toggled on. And I will allow you to more accurately group your clips together. Hopefully you found this video useful and see you in the next video where I'll teach you how to integrate Bureau of videos and images into your main video. 8. Image and Video B-Roll: Welcome again, guys. Before we get into the main bit of this video, I'm going to explain two very important terms, which are a roll and B-roll. So a role is basically the primary slash main footage of a video and B-roll is secondary footage and it's footage that's there in addition to the primary aryl footage. So for example, in a tech YouTube video, of course, the peer Stella Rosa styles, is the 3080 TI. This is a full fledged non Max Q design. So first things first, we want to import our B-roll videos and images into Da Vinci Resolve. And the way we do that is exactly the same way as we imported our aerial footage into da Vinci. Resolve this over here. I've already imported my bureau. So this is basically all my bureau. And I've already imported my bureau de Vinci resolve in one of the previous videos, we shall demonstrate it to you. But if you haven't already, then you can just pause the video and input your bureau now. And to organize my B-roll, I'm going to first make a folder and then move all my B-roll into that folder so that my arrow and my B-roll doesn't get mixed up together. So to make a folder which is called a been in da Vinci resolve, what we do first is prefers to right-click. And then from the drop-down you select new bin like that. And then we can just rename our bin by right-clicking. And then from the drop-down, select Rename been. I'm just going to name my bin, be rolled and just click anywhere. Then what I'm going to do is I'm just going to drag my B-roll into the bin. So just drove all my B-roll into the bin. And obviously if you want to make that quicker with press Command O and just select the B-roll and then just drag all of that in. Okay? And then we have one more here. Alright, so that's basically all the B-roll in my bin. And then again, if you want to go back to the main view, we just click on Master, which is over here. So that's my B-roll folder here, and this is my URL. So what I'd like you to do now is just pause the video, make your own bin, transfer your bureau into that bin, and then just resume the video once you are done. So before we actually start to add our B-roll to the timeline to make our editing more efficient, what we need to do is first go through the aerial footage in our timeline and then add markers in all the places where we want to add our B-roll. So I'm going to scrub through my timeline now and find a point where I want to add some B-roll. Can just play the video. You don't become great by getting everything handed to you. I want to add just at the point where our speaker says, you don't become great by getting everything handed to you. I want to add some bureau, okay. So I'm just going to press the left arrow key to go back in my timeline. Just a bit more. I'm just going to press the right arrow key to go forward. There you go. That's the point. So at this point, I'm just going to add a marker by pressing M on my keyboard. Okay? So as you can see now, a marker has been left. So just there. To customize a marker, what we need to do is just to double-click on it because I'm just going to move my playhead a bit. I'm just going to double-click on this marker and then we can give a name to our marker. So I'm basically going to name my mock-up B-roll, successful woman. The reason why I've named this mock-up B-roll successful woman is because the Bureau, I'm going to add at this point is actually named Bureau successful woman. And it's basically advisable to label the market with the same name as your B-roll. So that when you are actually importing your bureau into the timeline at this particular point is much more easier for you to do so. And then over here we can add any notes, so you want to add any keywords you want to add. I'm just going to leave these two places blank. Then we can just change the color of our mockup. I'm just going to keep it blue. And then once you've done that, you just hit Done. Now if I scrub through my timeline and reach the point of my marker, the marker will just pop up at this point. Basically told me to add the B-roll of the successful woman at this point. Now, I'm just going to finish adding my markers to my timeline at all these particular places. And if you are editing the same footage as me for your project, then you can access this information from the projects and resources section of this course to help you add the markers to the appropriate sections of your a roll. So now what I want you guys to do is just pause the video and add markers to the appropriate points along a road. And I'm basically going to finish adding markers to my timeline to okay guys, so as you can see, I've now added markers on my timeline at different points. And if I just hover over these markers, you can see the labels that I've given these markers. Now what we're going to do is you're going to import our B-roll though, all these different bureau clips that we have into our timeline. So first things first, I'm just going to hover over this first marker of mine and that reads B-roll, successful woman. And I'm just going to find that bureau over here now. So that's this one here. You can see that right on top of the preview window, say successful woman. And then I'm just going to drag this B-roll clip onto my preview window over here. I'm just going to move this play head to the left. And I'm just going to press Play. And then I'm just going to send in point at whatever place suits me. So I'm just going to set an endpoint at this point here by pressing I on my keyboard. I'm just going to play the video. And then just pose a particular point. Okay? I'm just gonna go slightly back. And then just send out point. We're pressing O on my keyboard. And then I'm just going to import this into my timeline at the point where I have a marker that's over there. So I've made a mistake and I've added my bureau amongst my table, and I don't want that. So I'm just going to press Command and see and I'll just remove my bill. I'm just going to move my timeline slightly downwards. Okay? I'm just going to drag my B-roll, this point over here. So just a bit down there. Okay. We wanna do is you want to add it after the line that's appearing from our mockup. Because we added our market, the beginning of the point where we want to add our B-roll. And I'm just going to zoom into my timeline at this particular point. Just going to play that section again. You don't become great by getting everything handed to you. I'm just going to go slightly back by pressing the left arrow key. Now, this is how long I want my bureau to be, okay, so I need to add a cut at this point. You can simply just do that. We're pressing B to get the blade tool and then just clicking at this section over here. Okay, so I've added a cut here. I'm just going to go back to my select tool by pressing a on my keyboard. And I'm just going to select this section of the clip and just hit backspace to remove it. I'm just going to play that again to show you guys how it sounds and looks. Okay. You don't become great by getting everything handed to. You know, that's not a perfect. Alright? If you look at this playback window over here, at the point when my B-roll clip was, I could no longer see my arrow clip. And then when my B-roll clip finished, so at this point here, I can now see my arrow clip again. Okay, so now what I want you to do is just pause the video and import your own Bureau or the B-roll that I've provided to you into your timelines. So if you're following along with the project that I'm completing, you want to add to these points over here. Once you import in your own bureaus into the timeline, I'm just going to finish importing my bureau into the timeline as well. One last thing to add before you guys go off this bureau lie I did was it didn't have a sound associated with them. If we're importing a bureau of which has a sound associated with it. So bureau which has sound, for example, this one. What we wanna do is we just want to import this video. So this video section over here, we just want to drag that into our timeline. Like this. If we click over here and we drag the whole thing in into our timeline, we have the audio as well is fine. We can just delete that. And the way we deleted is just press Option or Alt. If you're using a PC when just select the audio and then just hit backspace on your keyboard to remove it. So guys, hopefully you enjoyed that video and found it useful. And I'll see you again in the next video. We'll talk about how to add certain effects to your B-roll clips and make your B-roll even more interesting. Thanks for watching. 9. Adding Effects to B-Roll : Hey guys, I hope you're enjoying the course so far in this video on basically going to teach you how to add certain modifications such as Zoom, positioning, etc, to any B-roll videos or images you may have imported into timeline. So let's get right into it. So that's first what you wanna do is you just want to scrub through our timeline and find any B-roll that we want to adjust. So this one here, if you can see, we can see our achiral just at the edges of this B-roll. So at the top here and at the bottom over here. So I'm just going to make my playback window slightly larger so you can see them more clearly over here and over here. And essentially what we wanna do to adjust this and remove this issue that we have is just make our B-roll slightly larger, so zoom into our B-roll. So this a role at the edges disappears. So guys, first what I want you to do is I want you to click this B-roll clip over here in the main timeline, then from the toolbar above. So over here we want to select inspector and open up this inspector panel over here. From this Transformed section over here, what we can do is we can change certain aspects of our video and images, such as Zoom. So we're going to basically use are right now. And the way we do that, we change the zoom this in so you just hover over this number until this double-headed arrow comes up. And then what we do is just click and drag to the right till we zoom in enough so that our Iran is now no longer visible. We can also change the positioning of our bureau by just again hovering over this number, click and hold and then drag to the left or the right to adjust it to the right. If we want to reset that to default, we just click this arrow over here. You can also rotate our image if you wanna do it for whatever reason. You can see when we rotate our image, we can see the arrow behind it because our bureau has just been placed on top of our era in timeline. If you want to reset there again, just press this arrow over here. Then there's just a couple of other tools over here, affects over here, which I'm not gonna go into. And then over here, if you click on this this cropping section over here in Kapa, our B-roll from the left, you can crop it from the right. We can copy it from the top and copy it from the bottom. Okay. So obviously I don't really want my bureau to look like this. I'm just going to reset all these effects over here. Again, you can adjust the softness, B-roll, clip it. And I don't really want to adjust the softness again, I'm just going to reset that. Just, just a couple of other effects that you can basically just play around with and see what they do. So that's it for this one, for this B-roll clip over here. Then again, I can just go free my timeline. That's fine. Next B-roll clip is fine as well. This bureau clip, again, as you can see, we can see that a role behind our bureaus. So we just wanted to zoom into this clip over here as this actually an image. But again, the same rules apply, right? So I'm just going to select this and then just adjust my clip. Just zoom in enough so that my arrow behind it disappears. This one's fine. Can this one needs a bit of zooming in. I'm just going to select this. And I'm just going to zoom in slightly. That's fine. This next one again, you want to zoom into this one? There you go. That's fine as well. I don't want to change the positioning is if I want to move our clip upwards, I'll just adjust this one. But again, as you can see, when you move it to the left, we can see our role again over here. So just click on again, because just click on that again. You can see our arrow over here. And we don't want that. So just to the left. Okay. To remove that. And again, it's just scrub through the remaining that doesn't need to be changed. This doesn't need to be changed. Okay guys, So what you should do now is just pause the video and just play around with some of these controls I've gone through and apply these effects to your B-roll as well. Just a quick note before you guys go off and hopefully continue with your projects. The effects I've gone through in this video, I've demonstrated them by adjusting my B-roll clips as you can see, but you can still apply these effects to the arrow clip as well in the exact same way if you need to, That's it for this video guys. Hopefully you found this video useful and got a ton of value from it. In the next video, I'll be teaching you guys how to add titles and texts in your videos, which is a very key element in video editing. Thanks for watching guys. 10. Titles: Welcome again, goes in this video, I'm going to teach you how to add titles and texts in general to your videos. So stay till the end to master this video editing technique and has hop right into it. Okay guys, so first things first, if you want to add titles to your video, you want to select this effects icon over here. And then this affects window will open up. And then from this toolbox drop-down over here, we wanna do is you want to select titles. And essentially what you can see, as you can see still titles. So these are basically still simple titles and fusion titles which are tied to that basically fade in and have special effects associated with them. So just hover over, tighten and scrub through it. You can see the effect of the title. This one, this one, and so on. So, okay, so basically the idea of that, so I'm just going to select a title myself. So I'm going to select this feed on title. So as that sort of effect, very nice title. And then I'm just going to click and drag it into my timeline. So very simple. And essentially what we wanna do is I want to move all the clips in my timeline slightly to the right so that I can fit this title clip over here at the start, right over there. So essentially what I'm going to do first is I'm going to just delete, skip over here this clip I just imported. And then I'm just going to press Command a to select all the clips in my timeline. And then I'm just going to select any random clips. So for example, this arrow clip, and then just drag everything slightly to the left. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to drag my feet on effect into my timeline. And essentially what I'm going to do is I'm just going to select everything and just drag it back and join it with this title clip over here. So I'm just going to go right to the store and show you the title effect. Here's the thing. Okay, Brilliant. So that's basically how you add a title at the start of your clip. Now what I want you to do is just pause the video and try that yourself, and then just resume the video. And I'll teach you how to add subtitles and other text into your videos. I'm basically going to show you how to add still texts, so subtitles into your videos. So we went through fusion titles, which are basically titles or have special effects associated with them. And now I'm just going to select one of these still titles. So these are basically titles that just remain text suggests remain as it is when you import them into your timeline. And they basically don't really have, except for this one really. They don't really have any effect associated with them. They just still text. I'm just going to take this one here. So basic title. So just click and drag into timeline at that point. Then essentially I just really just want this title to be over my B-roll. Okay, so this extra bit over here, if we just zoom in to you, this extra bit over here, I want to actually remove it. So I'm going to press P to get the blade tool up. Just going to make a cut over here and press a to select tool up, select this section over here, and hit backspace to remove it. Okay? You don't become great by getting everything handed to you. Okay, so that's basically the text I want to add at this point. So over here, I want to add the text. If you don't become great by getting everything handed to you. And the way we change the text is essentially by clicking this clip over here. So this texts clip over here and head over to inspector and you can just change the title over here. You don't become great. You can see the text is really large, so we can also make the size of the text a bit more smaller. So we can also change the tracking so how spaced out our text is. Okay, so I'm just going to reset that to default. And then can change a couple of things over here so we can change the positioning again. I think my positioning is fine, so I'm just going to reset that. What I do want to change, however, is perhaps add a stroke to my text so that it stands out right now it's very difficult to read because of the white background of our B-roll. Okay, so stroke is basically the outline. So I'm going to add some sort of an outline and then maybe just add a shadow as well. Okay. Just like that, I think you can see that a bit more clearer now. Okay? And you just play around with some of these tools over here. So we can see that a bit more clearly now. And essentially that's basically how we add text to our clips. Okay guys, so now I'm going to demonstrate how to add text to one more B-roll clip in the timeline before I get you to go off and do it on your own. Okay? I'm just going to slightly zoomed out. Okay? And what we wanna do is I want to add text to this B-roll clip over here. So I'm just going to move my playhead, anything up to this point over here. And then essentially what I'm going to do is I'm going to teach you a little hacky and I am going to press Command or Control C over here. So I'm gonna select this clip and press command or control C. Okay? And what I'll do is I'll copy this clip, this text clip over here. And then essentially I'm just going to paste them. Just press Command and V. And it will appear where my play head is. And then what I'm going to do is I'm just going to click play through my clip. You go through the struggles. And I'm going to make a little cut at this point. Alright, so press P for the blade tool and just add a little cup, press a for the select tool, and then just move back. And this point here, and you go through the struggles right? Now, at this point we have the text. As we've copied the text immediately from this point to this point, the text at this point is still, you don't become great by getting everything handed to you. I'm just going to now change this text and my inspector window over here. And I'm going to type in you go through the struggles. Alright? Okay, so I've changed the text now, let's play that. You go through the struggles, you go through the hardest moments in your life. So let's just reach to the end of this as well. I'm going to expand this clip over here, okay? And this point, I'm just going to select this clip and change it to you. Go through the hardest moment, spin your life, okay? And then there's just replay what you go through the struggles, you go through the hardest moments in your life. So let's just change this bit. Here. You go through the hardest moments in your life. And this basic copy and paste tag is just so that our texts clip. So all of our texts that we've overlaid onto our B-roll is basically of the same font, the same stroke, the same shadow, etcetera, etcetera. So as you can see, this text over here has the exact same Shadows, stroke, font, color, etc, as this text over here. So basically that's it for this video over here. I'm just going to finish adding text to the rest of my video. So this point here and the remaining bit of my video, and I want you to go away now and finish adding titles and texts to your video. And I'll see you in the next video, where we'll add some music to our video and make it more appealing. 11. Adding Music : Hey guys, welcome back again. In this video, I'm going to teach you how to add background music to your videos. Remember, adding good music to your videos is a key video editing skill to have as it sets the tone for your video and makes it a lot more interesting for your audience. So let's jump right in. This is a beginner's video editing course. While that some of you may not know where to get copyright-free music to use in your videos. If you do know, feel free to skip this part of the video and if you don't keep watching. So personally, I think the best place to get copyright free music is the YouTube studio audio library, which is accessible for anyone with an account on YouTube. So basically everyone. You can also get free music from Pixabay, which are linked in the project and resources section of this course. So first what we're going to do is we're just going to go on YouTube. And then what you want to do access the audio library is basically just select this, your profile picture in the top right-hand corner. And then from this drop-down, you want to select YouTube Studio. At this point, if you don't actually have a channel, they will prompt you to make a channel. So basically just simply make a channel and then access the YouTube studio like that. And then from this list of options over here in the far left, you want to select Audio Library. So select that. Now we've opened up the audio library, and then from here we can choose a range of music. So this is basically lots of different songs that they have. So they have around 1520 different songs. So there's a lot of songs and then they also have sound effects as well. They have quite a few side effects is also 728 sound effects. So as we're adding background music, I'm just going to go back to music. So you can also use a filter. So there's a filter over here, and then over here you can just set your genre, mood, iteration, the artist's name, etc. So I'm basically going to set, sorry, not drawn around. I'm going to change my mood. And I'm going to change my mood to happy and then maybe even com, okay, so happy and calm. And then just hit Apply. And the duration of my video. So a motivational video that I'm editing is just above two minutes. So it's around two minutes, 40 seconds. So I'm just going to why don't you just do two minutes and then hip. So I've set my duration and then I'm just going to search through these songs over here because you can see there's a smaller selection set a bit large, but there's fewer songs now. And then I'm just going to find a song that I like and then just hit download. I actually just like this song. So I'm just going to hit download over here. Because this downloaded. And then if you have a Mac, you can basically just go to music. And then from here, what you do is you just go into DaVinci Resolve. I'm just going to minimize the screen. Okay? So you just minimize the screen and then just bring this bit up here. I'm just going to simply just drag this into DaVinci Resolve. As you can see, I've dragged this music file now into da Vinci Resolve. I'm just going to x's. If you have a PC, your music files would probably appear in your file somewhere, most probably in your downloads section. So then just find that and drag it into the venture resolve to add the music file into a timeline. All you need to do is just drag the music into your time. So you can put it in the previous section and then listened to. I'm not gonna do that. I'm just going to simply just drag into my time now, my main audio for my video is in audio track one and my music, I've imported that into audio track to here. And then you can simply just adjust the music clip in your timeline as this music that we've added, this music here is basically just background music. We want to lower the volume of it so that it's much more quieter than our main audio here. And the way we do that is I'm just going to make this track a bit more larger, so a bit more wider. We just hover over this until this arrows come up, just click and hold. And then we just pull it in like this. So they'll basically make our music a lot more quieter. So we get my play head and I play it. Now, what you're made out of, what should be calm. You hear that the music is a bit more louder than our main audio. So I can just make that a little bit more quieter than playdough. You don't become great by getting everything handed to. Know it's not a reactant and I just want to make it a bit more quieter. Reality, what happens is you go through the struggles. You go through the hardest moments in your life, and then you find out what your main data. I think that's fine. Okay, So that's basically it for adding background music to your videos. Now what I want you to do is go off on your own and add your own background music to your videos and see you in the next video where I'll teach you how to add sound effects to your video. Thanks for watching guys and see you in the next video. 12. Adding Sound Effects : Hey guys, welcome back again. In this video, I'm going to teach you how to add sound effects to your videos. Something which many video creators or to the videos to make them more interesting. So watch his video attentively right till the end if you want to master this technique. Okay, So again, what we want to do is want to go to YouTube audio library. So when the audio library right now, and then what we do is we are going to sound effects over here. I kinda want a swishing slash popping type sound effect to add to my video when certain images pop up, as you may have noticed in some YouTube videos. So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to go on the filter, then select Search. I'm just going to simply type in swash and hit Apply. So these are sort of some sound effects that come up. I'm just going to play through some of them. The second one, punch switch series is brilliant. Yeah, this is exactly what I need. So I'm just going to hit download now. Okay. So I've dragged my sound effect into my preview window and it's going to play it. I find I just want one swash. So I'm going to just select a portion of this sound effect to import. So I'm just hit an endpoint at this point. And then just select an output there pressing O. So basically I want to import this swishing sound effect or a point where an image comes up. So this is basically an image. And why I want to do is I want to import my sound effect at the start. So around here, and then at the end, so where this image ends. Okay, So around here, now I'm just going to drag my sound effect into timeline. I'm going to make another audio track and then add it over here. So if I did my sound effects in audio track three over here, okay? I'm just going to enlarge my timeline, Okay? And then I'm just going to play that section. Last important. It's kind of quiet so you can't really hear at the moment. I'm just going to enlarge this audio track here, I'm just going to make the sound effect a bit more larger, slightly just zoom into my timeline, look a bit more. Zoom in a bit more, hover over this section, and then just enlarge, make the sound effect bit more larger, increase the volume of the sound effects. Embrace. So did you hear that? So it was a bit slow, so I'm just going to adjust it in my timeline. So at this except intersection, so the point where this clip finishes and this clip starts, I've added my sound effects, play back one more time. Grace, which you have right now in your life. So I'm basically going to again add it in the exact point over here as well where this image starts to disappear. Okay? So I'm just going to copy this clip over here and then just move my playhead over here, and then just paste it by pressing Command or Control V. Yeah, that's perfect in your life because it can be daunting. Perfect. Okay, so that's basically how you add sound effects into your video. Hopefully you guys found value in this video. Now what I want you to do is go off and try adding some of your own sound effects to your own projects. And then I'll see you again in the next video where I'll teach you how to adjust the audio of your audio clips and video editing. Thanks for watching guys and see you in the next video. 13. Audio Adjustment : Hey guys, welcome back again. In this video, I'm going to teach you how to adjust the audio for your project, which is crucial to make your videos more appealing for your audience. So let's jump right into it. In this video, I'm just going to be working with audio. So this track here, my A1 track May to track, Am I a three-track? I'm not going to be focusing on my video tracks. So V1, V2, V3. So this blue section here, I'm just going to just move it out of the way and then just enlarge each of my audio tracks so you can see it better. Just this track over here as well. Then what you want to do is from this top panel over here, you want to select mixer. What this mixer is is basically the tool which you use to adjust the volume of your audio. So we use this little section over here to adjust my audio from our track one. So this here, we use this slider over here to adjust my audio to the volume of audio two. And then if we just move this slider over here is audio three is used to adjust is small sound effect audio that I have over here. So what do you want is my main audio, audio to is my background music and audio three is a sound effect which I added boss one. So this section here is used to adjust the volume of my entire, so all three of my audio tracks. So the audio of my entire video as a whole. Alright, so first what I want to do is I'm going to adjust my A1 audio, okay, so my audio one, so this audio, this one and this one over here. So this track, so I'm going to do is I'm just going to mute my A2 truck and my A3 trucks. Then what I'm going to just pay the video. That's the reality. That's the reality that we don't live in a society is that we say, Oh, why I wanted you to just keep an eye out for this level. But over here, it's gonna be around forever. I got enough time in the world. But the reality is, is that you don't have enough time, your phones on some kind of percentage to your own kin. And essentially what you wanna do is you want to adjust the slider in such a way that the level bar, which is somewhere between minus four and minus six. So it reaches somewhere around this region. Know, when it's going to turn off and shut down forever, That's your life. You can be on your deathbed tomorrow. And there's not enough people out here preaching this message, saying live your life to the fullest, take risks, make the commitment, push yourself past your benefit. So that's enough. So basically what I've done is just raise the volume of my A1 track. And remember we don't ever want our level bar to reach the 0 mark over here, because that would mean that our audio is very, very loud and it would also sound very unrealistic as well. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to adjust the volume of my audio too, and the volume of my audio three now, to adjust the volume of my audio too, and the volume of my audio three, I actually don't really like using the mixer. You can use a mixer and just adjust the volume by using this slider for the O2 and then the slider for audio three. However, I like adjusting the volume of my audio too, and the volume of my audio three from the timeline itself. Before we do anything, I'm just going to unmute these two tracks. Then what I'm going to do is I'm just going to move my slider up to this point where my audio three kind of comes up and my audio to, okay, and I'm just going to zoom into timeline. So here's my audio to here, and here's my audio three. And then I'm just going to expand these two tracks here and just make them a bit more larger. And then just play my video because they can be gone tomorrow after drinking. So I'm just slightly zoom out a bit. Okay. Alright. Okay. I'm taking right now in your life because they can be gone tomorrow. I'm gonna make my sound, my audio to my music a bit more quieter. So what we wanna do is when I hover over it until we get this double-headed arrow, just like I explained in the previous video. And then we just pull it inward to make it quieter. And that's the reality. That's the reality that we don't live in a society is that maybe make it a bit more loud? Actually. I'm just going to pull it out. We say, Oh, it's gonna be around forever. I got scope. Who have right now in your life because they can be gone tomorrow. I think that's fine. Alright. And then my son defect because they can be gone tomorrow, is make my son fixed slightly louder. So I'm just going to zoom in a bit more into my timeline. Move my playhead life because they can. And then just hover over this section here and then just drag it slightly outwards like this. Because it can be gone. Yeah, that's perfect. And then I'm just going to move to my other sound here and make that a bit more louder as well. Okay, I'm just going to zoom out a bit more and then just play this entire section to see how the sounds work together times in your life because they won't laugh. Embrace what you have right now in your life. Because they can be gone tomorrow. Yeah, that's fine. So essentially guys, when I'm adjusting my audio one, I use my mixer and I make sure that the level bar sits between minus 0.4 and minus 0.6. And when I'm adjusting my audio to this audio here, my audio is three, which is usually my background music and my sound effects. I actually just adjust it from the timeline. If you want to adjust the audio of your entire clip as a whole, you can play around with this, but make sure that your level bar doesn't reach the 0 mark over here. So that's it for adjusting audio in DaVinci Resolve. What I want you to do now is go off on your own and adjust the audio for your own projects and see you in the next video where I'll teach you how to add video transitions in your project. 14. Using Video Transitions: Hey guys, welcome back again. First of all, I want to thank and congratulate you all for making it this far into the course and putting up with me in this video, I'm going to teach you how to add video transitions in your video. So let's dive right in. So first what you want to do is you want to select effects in the top toolbar to open the effects window. So this is the Effects window, and we've already seen this affects window before when we were adding title and text in our video. But as well as texts, the effect window also has video and audio transitions. And in this video, we're going to add video transitions in our project. So now I'm going to click on video transitions. And here you can see all the different video transitions that the Vinci Resolve offers. I'm just going to scrub through a couple of video transitions to show you how they look. So additive dissolve, it looks a bit like this. And then just transition looks something like this. And then you get the idea, alright? And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to find two clips in my timeline which have a sharp cut between them. So this is an image clip, this darker blue looking clip and the one beside it is a video clip. Okay. So this is a video clip and this is an image clip. So I'm guessing that these two clips may have a sharp cut between them. So I'm just going to play my video in that section. So when bracing, embrace the hard times in your life because they won't laugh. Embrace you have right now in your life. So as you can see, the transition between these two clips was pretty sharp. I'm going to add my video transition in this section over here. So I'm just going to zoom into my timeline at this point. What I'm going to do is I'm going to select the transition. So I'm going to select this sort of blur dissolve transition. I'm just going to select it and drag it into my timeline at this point over here. So now I'm just going to replay this section. Hard times in your life because they won't laugh. Embrace what? I'm going to slightly zoom out and then replay this section again. The steam out slightly and zoom in again. I'm just trying to play this whole section. Embrace the hard times in your life because they won't laugh. Embrace what you have right now. And so that's how the transition looks. And to speed up a transition so it occurs over a shorter period of time. What you do is just select the transition and then hover over the edge, and then just simply just drag it inwards like this last embrace would you say just makes my transition shorter. And again, obviously if you want to make it longer, so occur over a longer period of time, you just click and hold and then just drag outwards. And if you want to delete a transition, you just simply select it and just hit backspace on your keyboard. This video transitions can also be added between any video clips. This technique is very effective, but only if you sparingly, mainly just in-between clips or have sharp cuts in between them, like I demonstrated to you guys, if this technique is used too much, it will make your final visual look quite Tukey, so we don't wanna do that. So essentially what we wanna do now is we want to create a fade in effect at the beginning of our video and fade out effect at the end of our video. So I'm just going to zoom into the beginning of our video. So just right where our speaker starts to speak, create a fade in effect that this section over here, we just hover over the corner until these two arrow things come up and just click and hold this oval-shaped icon over here, and then just drag that to our right. Okay, Then if I just zoom out a bit and then replay this section of the video. Here's the thing you can see that now fades in. And then we just want to move to the end of our video. Zoom in at the end of the video. And to create the fade-out effect, you do exactly the same thing. Hover over the corner until these two arrow things come up. Click and hold this oval-shaped icon and just drag inwards like this. Replay that final section. I'm just going to make this effect, the fade-out effect, a bit more larger. That's brilliant. So that's basically how you add a fade-out effect to your video. So that's it for video transition guys. Hopefully you guys found value in this video. Now what I want you to do is go off and add video transitions to your own project and see you in the next video where we'll talk about audio transitions. 15. Using Audio Transitions : Hey guys, welcome back. In this video, we are going to learn how to add audio transitions to audio clips in our project, which is extremely important if you want that smooth professional flow in our videos. So let's dive right in. Just a quick reminder before we actually continue with this lesson, if you want to reset the layout of your workspace Back to the original, what you do is you, from this top panel here, you select workspace, then you select from this drop-down Reset UI layout. Okay? I'm just going to full-screen mode of entry resolve. And as you can see, my workspace has been reset back to the original layout to add all the transitions. We basically open up the effects window. And then in this left list over here, we can see our audio transitions. And essentially there are three types of audio transitions which we can use in our videos. Now I'm going to do is I'm just going to find a section of my project which has two audio clips that have a sharp cut in-between them. So I'm just going to zoom out of my timeline. And I've just actually went through this before. And I found that there was a sharp cut in-between these two audio clips over here. So let me just show that to you guys. Let's just play this section over here. It's meeting for me. It's what I'm good at. I know. As you can see, there's a very sharp cut between the audios of these two clips. I'm going to add my audio transition at this point here. So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to select this transition over here. So crossfade minus three decibels, select and just drag that into my timeline and drop it in between these two clips over here. And I'm just going to play back this video. For me. It's what I'm good at. I know. It's okay. I can still hear some sharp cut in-between these two clips. So I'm going to do, I'm just going to select my transition. Zoom in further, Okay, and select my transition here. So this audio transition, and I'm just going to make it slightly larger like this and you just replay that section. It's what I'm good at. I know it's making a difference. So really just reduces the car to the shop cut that these two clips had in-between them. If you do want to make a transition, your audio transition slightly longer, you can do that. However, after some point it will become noticeable. So I would suggest you don't do that. The reason why I used a crossfade minus three decibels transition instead of a crossfade 0 decibels transition, or a cost rate plus three decimals transition is because when using a crossfade minus three decibels transition, at the transition point, the audio is made a lot more quieter. And what that will do is we'll make your transition sound a lot more smoother. If I'd use the crossfade 0 decibels transition at the transition point. And had I'd use a crossfade plus three decibels transition, the audio would have been a lot more louder. And as a result, the transition would have been slightly more noticeable. And again, you just want to use audio transitions in between two clips have a very sharp cut in-between them. Don't overdo it. Don't add so many audio transitions in-between your clips, because if you do that, your video will sound unprofessional and very tacky. So that's it for audio transitions. And another thing that you can do is you can add a fade in and fade out effect to your audio. So just like we did with our video, we can also add in a fade, in effect at the start of our audio and at the end of our audio. And we can also do that for all the other audio clips as well. You can do that for the music clip over here. And we can also do that for the sound effect, and that's everything for audio transitions. Now what I want you to do is just go off and add audio transitions to your own projects. And I'll see you in the next video. We will start the final, and in my opinion, the most fun part of video editing, which is color correction. 16. Colour Correction: Intro to the Colour Tab : Hey guys, welcome back again. Just a final few videos. Now before I leave you to your own video editing journeys in this video, I'm actually going to familiarize you to the color correction tab. And in the next video, I'll actually teach you how to color correct your videos. So let's dive right in, okay, so first what you want to do is you want to select this icon here from this bottom panel. And then what that will do is I'll take you to the color correction tab. Now, don't worry, this tab does look quite overwhelming right now, but just like you hopefully now comfortable with the edits tab, once you do the color correction, you will also become comfortable with this type in no time. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to walk you through the basics of this color correction interface. There's not too much information that I'm going to give you because I don't want to overwhelm you in this video for just a few important things to highlight. First, what we're going to do is we're going to look at this top panel over here, and in the far left. So over here we have y equals gallery. And if I click on it, I'll toggle it off. And if I click on it again, I'll toggle it on. And this window will appear over here. You basically store your stills and I'll explain what stills are in the next video. And next to it we have something called lots. If I select that and toggle it on, this appears. And these are basically color grading presets which you can add to your video. So I'm just going to make this come up over here. And if I select this and drag this over my video, my video will now appear like this, and this preset will now be applied on my video. I think most of these presets or preexist generated, so I wouldn't advise you to use them. And I'm obviously not going to use this one as well. I'll just press Command Z to undo that. The next thing we're going to move onto is media pool. If I click on this and toggle it on, you can basically just see all the raw footage that I've imported, just like the media pool we had in the edits tab. So now I'm just going to click on this gallery icon over here. So my stills window comes back up. Now let's move on to the preview window over here. And the preview window will basically allow us to see the effects of the color correction we have added to our videos. So it's exactly the same concept as the preview window in our Effects tab. And these controls under the preview window. So these controls over here are exactly the same as the controls we have come across in the edits tab. If I click this button over here, my video will play on. Great, by getting everything handy. If I click this button, my video will pause. And next to the preview window, we have what we call nodes. So this is one node over here. Don't worry if you don't really have nodes on your interface at the moment, your nodes will appear as you color, correct? And I'll explain to you in more detail in the next video what nodes are once we actually start our color correction process. Now below that in the middle over here. Over here, you can see all the different clips that we have in our timeline and we'll have to color correct each of these clips separately. Now below that we have a set of controls in this middle panel over here. And these controls are extremely complex. So I'm only going to introduce a couple of them to you in this video. And the far right, we have what we call the scopes icon. And if we toggle that on these graphs, come up on what these graphs do is that they give us greater information about the colors present in our video. And also what we want to do is we want to toggle on this color wheel in the far left over here. If you do that, this color wheels window would come up. And what this is is basically the control panel which we'll use to color correct our video. So we have the lift color wheel over here, and we adjust the lift by using this slider below it. And then we also have the gamma and the gain and the offset color wheels over here. Don't worry about what all these words mean at the moment. I'll go through them with you in the next video. And below the color wheels, you have these very important controls over here. So we have color boost, we have shadow, we have saturation, etc, etc. And these are basically very important in color correction. And above the Color Wheels we have other controls, so temperature, tint, contrast, etc. So that's basically all you need to know about the color correction interface. And I'll see you in the next video. We'll actually teach you how to color correct your videos. 17. Colour Correction: How to Colour Correct Your Video: Hey guys, welcome back. In this video, we're going to learn how to color correct your videos. This is basically the final technique you need to learn when editing individual resolve at a beginner's level, it is a very important technique and will make your videos look so much more professional. So please do engage with this video by taking notes and apply the techniques learned in your own projects. So let's dive right in. So the first most important thing I'm going to teach you guys is a concept of nodes. And we sort of brushed on the concept of nodes in the previous video. But here I'm going to explain it to you in more detail. This is a foundation of color, correcting individual resolve. So make sure you listen very carefully and grasp this concept very well. Nodes are basically the squares which are found in this window over here. So this square over here. And for demonstration purposes, I'm just going to quickly create some more nodes by pressing Option and S or Alton S if you're using a PC. The function of these nodes over here is basically to allow editors to group different color correction effects together and keep tabs on them. And that does sound like a mouthful. So let me break out for you guys. So for example, if I was to select this first node over here and then change the Lift, Gamma and Gain. So I'm just going to quickly change the image that appears in the preview window and just create some more nodes. These are three nodes. So for example, if I was to select this first node over here, and then if I was to change the Lift Gamma and the gain of this image over here, that change in Lift Gamma and Gain that I applied to this image would be recorded in this node over here. Then if I was to select the second node, so this node over here. And then if I was to change, for example, the saturation of this image, that change in saturation which have applied to this image would be recorded in this second node over here. And then if I was to select this third node over here and then change, for example, the temperature of my image. That change in temperature, which I've applied to this image, would be recorded on this node over here. And a very important point to highlight here the color grading effects, which I've assigned to node one. Node to node three, will all be visible on my image over here. Okay? So that's it for nodes. If you still haven't managed to grasp this concept, don't worry, once you've actually used nodes in our color correction process, you'll understand them a lot better. So I'm just going to delete these nodes and let's start color correcting. So I'm just going to delete them by pressing Backspace. Okay, so now I'm going to teach you guys how to color correct an image. I'm using this image over here. You can use any of the images that I've provided for you, or you can use your own image. So first what I'm going to do is I'm going to adjust the shadows and the exposure of my image. So the shadows of an image or basically the darker parts of the image. So it'd be the trousers over here. The bottom bit of this log over here would also be sort of this area of the tree. So these are the darker parts of the image. The exposure of our image is a lighter parts. So the highlights of our image. So this will be this really bright sky over here, etcetera, etcetera. Before we start, what we first wanna do is we want to hide these clips over here in the middle. And we do that by basically just clicking on this clip icon over here, okay, to, toggle it off. And essentially what this does is it basically just make our preview window more larger so we can view the image that we're color grading in more detail. So first what I'm going to do it. So I'm just going to right-click on this firstNode over here. And then from this drop-down, select node label. And I'm just going to label this firstNode, shadows and exposure. Remember it's crucial for you to label your notes so that you remember what effects you've assigned to a node. Then what I'm going to do is I'm going to use these Lift Gamma and Gain color wheels to adjust the shadows and the exposure of my image. So first, I'm going to adjust the lift of my image. And lift is basically to do with the dark parts of an image. So the shadows that I previously talked about, the shadows again would be the shorts, the darkness over here, the darkness at the back of a trousers. This area will log some areas over here, some areas over here as well. So those will basically be the shadows of our image. And if I scrub this slider over here just below my lift color wheel, I'm scrubbing it now, the bottom of my scope graphs will start to move. And as I lower the bottom of my scope graphs, the shadowy parts of my image will become darker. And if I scrub my slider to the right, the bottom of my scope graphs start to move upwards. The shadowy parts of my image will become more lighter, and eventually my entire image will start to become very, very light. And essentially what we want to do is we want the bottom of our scope graph. So this bottom over here to reach between 0128, we don't want the bottom of our scope graph to go below 0. Because if it does go below 0 or image will become very, very dark and it won't look good. I'm just going to scrub this slider slightly to the left. I'm just going to adjust the lift of my image. So I think that's perfect. And next what I'm going to do is I'm going to adjust the gamma of my image. And gamma is basically to do with the semi dark parts of an image. So the mid tones of an image. So that'll be not these extremely shadowy parts, but this area over here, this area over here, these areas over here, and these areas over here as well. And if I scrub this slider over here, the middle of my scope graphs will start to move. So you can see the middle is now moving up and down. If I lower this middle section, it will make the mid tones of my image darker. So as you can see, the midtones are becoming more DACA and our image as a whole is becoming more darker. If I drag my slider to the right, getting a raise the middle part of our scope graphs. Over here. We'll make the mid tones much more brighter. So basically Idaho brightens to my image. You want to just keep the middle section of our scope graphs somewhere in the middle. Okay. I generally when I'm when I'm color correcting, I've just simply just keep my eye on the red scope graph most of the time, just do grants the green and the blue scope graphs as well. Especially when we're adjusting the lift and the gain of our image, then I'm just going to adjust the gamma of my image. Essentially color correction and lot of the time is to do with what looks right to you. So as I'm adjusting the slider, I'm paying close attention to how my image looks. And once it looks just about right, I'm going to stop moving my slider. So I'm just going to do that now. I think at this level, just slightly higher than my mid tones, a bit too dark. Now, I think at this level, it looks perfect. Then I'm going to adjust the gain of my image. And gain is basically to do with the lighter parts of an image. So the highlights of an image, and in our image over here, it would basically be this very bright sky and the brighter parts over here and over here. If I scrub this slider over here below the gain color wheel. So this slider over here, what we'll do is adjust the top of my scope crops. So as you can see, the top of my scope graphs is now moving. And what it'll do is it'll make the highlights much more brighter. And in general, it just make our image much more brighter. As you can see, I'm dragging my gain slider to the right. And my Scowcroft is moving higher and higher, and my image is becoming brighter and brighter. So we want to do is you want to keep the top of your scope graphs between 8961023. You don't want them to exceed beyond the 1023 mark. Otherwise, your image will become too bright and I won't look good. So I just keep it this stage over here until at this point over here. So that's basically all you need to know to adjust the Lift Gamma and Gain, and effectively adjust the shadows and exposure of your image. So we've basically now finished the first part of our color correction, which is adjusting the shadows and the exposure of our image. And if you want to see the before and after all you do is press Command or if you're using a PC Control and D. So this is the before. This is the after. Next. What we're going to do is we're going to adjust the saturation of our image. So first what we wanna do is we want to create a new node. And to create a new node, what we do through press option or if you're using a PC, you press Alt and S. So I said as our node number two created. And then what you wanna do is you want to name this node saturation. So we're going to right-click on this node. Then from the drop-down, select node label, the namenode saturation. The next bit is very easy. You want to go down here to saturation. Then just double-click on this number over here, and then change the number to 75. Then what you wanna do is you just want to click and drag this number down to a saturation that looks right to make sure it doesn't go below 50 though, because that will make our image look too dull. So I'm keeping up 55.6. Alright, that looks perfect. And again, if you want to see the before and after, you just select the correct nodes were already on the saturation node, and then you just press Command D or Control and D if you're using a PC. This is before the saturation was added. This is often the saturation was added. I don't know if you guys can see the difference. I can see the difference. The grasses become more greener. Martin's have more color and essentially more color has been added to this image. So this is the before, and this is the after. So that's it for saturation. And the next thing we're going to adjust is we're going to adjust the sharpness of our image. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to create a new node. So node number three, alright? And then we'll just label our node sharpness. Then what you wanna do is you want to select this icon over here. It will take you to this window over here. And then what you wanna do is we want to lower these bars over here to sharpen the image to your taste. The advice I'd give you here is to keep the sharpness somewhere between 0.400.50. You don't want to sharpen your image too much. So for example, 0.203.16, because basically it looks very, very unrealistic. I'm just going to reset that number here by pressing this arrow. And I'm just going to lower these bars and keep it somewhere between 0.400.50.45. Looks the best here. It looks, still looks realistic and my image is a lot more sharper. I'm just going to enlarge my imagery pressing Command and F here using a PC you can press Control and F. I'm just going to try and show you this change in more detail. It's Come on Andy, before sharpness. And this is after sharpness. So hopefully you can see that a lot more clearly, sharpening an image really does affect the quality of an image. So now what we're going to do is we're going to move on to the next bit and that's adjusting the temperature of our image. So how cool our image is or how warm our image is. Again, we want to create our new nodes, a node number four, okay? And again, we want to label this node at temperature. Then we want to return back to the color wheel window by pressing this icon here. Then what we do is we just hover over this number, click on it, and then just drag it to the left to make our image more cooler. So the maximum coolness I get is minus 4 thousand. As you can see, our image looks very, very unrealistic. If I drag my mouse to the right, our image becomes more and more warmer. And the maximum warmth that our image can get is 4 thousand. As you can see, the amount of warmth also looks very, very unrealistic. I'm just going to reset that number by just double-clicking on temp over here. I'm just going to just click and drag my mouse to the right to make my image a bit more warmer. I haven't added damage warmth here, but about it's just a slight amount. And I don't know if you'll be able to see this difference, but if I press Command and D to show you the before and the after, before and after. That's it folks with temperature adjustment. So now what we wanna do is you want to add some more detail to our image by enhancing some of the colors. For example, making our sky and the mountain more blue, or by making the trees and our lakes, or these, I think these two lakes and the trees more green or by making our ground, ground over here more yellow. So just like before, we want to create a new node, and then we want to label this node. And in this example, I want to enhance the color of my sky and sort of make it look a bit more blue. And so I'm just going to label this node detail, colon sky, detail on Sky. And then what you wanna do is you want to click on this key icon over here and open up this window over here. And then what you wanna do is from this top menu bar over here, you want to select color. Then from this drop-down, you want to select Presets. And based on the color that you're enhancing, you'll just select the correct preset. So I want to enhance my blues. I'm going to select six vector blue. Then once you've done that over here, and you can basically see all the parts of our image, all the bits of our image that is blue. So over here we can actually just see the bottom. We have our sky bottom. A bit of our Skype is blue. And then the top bits of our mountain. And to see that enlarge over your actual picture, over this actual picture over here, you just click on this one icon over here and toggle it on. So now we can basically just see all the parts of our images. Our image that's been highlighted as blue. If you want more of the blues from your image showing. So essentially these top parts of the sky, they've been labeled sort of gray, which means that they haven't really been picked up by the Vinci. And we want our entire sky to be picked up by dementia. So what we do first is we select this qualifier icon over here. And then you just drag this box out over here. Just click and drag. Or you can just move it to increase the selection of blues. So remember we just want our blue selected, so don't drag it all the way out. Otherwise, I'll mean that your green is selected. So yeah, so make sure the selections can be very precise. Then what I'm going to do is I'm going to go back to my color wheel. Then what I'm going to do is I'm going to toggle off this magic wand by clicking on it. And that will bring back my original image. And then what I'm going to do is I'm just going to adjust these dots and my Lift Gamma and Gain. So these dots over here and just slightly move them towards the blues to enhance the blues in my image. Obviously don't do it too much. Otherwise, the image will start to look very unrealistic. You just wanna do a slightly, okay. If I show you guys a before and after, so I'm just going to make my image larger. And then this is the before. This is after adding that little bit of detail. So I kind of just adds a little bit of deceptive color to our image. I'm just going to quickly go off now and I'm just going to add some more detail to the greenery. So the green areas. Now show you the before, after, before, after. Now I'm going to do is I'm going to enlarge in my image. Then I'm going to press option of using a PC. You can press Alt and D. And what that will show you is basically you can see the full before and the full after color grading. This was a full before calibrating. This is a full after color grading. So as you can see, it's made a huge difference to the quality of this image. You can see the color grading really does make a big, big difference to our images. And an old guy is, this is a lot of information to grasp. And if you didn't get it all, don't worry, just replay the video, take a few notes, and then practice color correction on the images that I have provided to the class project. Remember practices very, very important in improving your video editing skills, especially for color correction. Because for color correction, a lot of the effects that you add is basically based on what looks good to the eye. So do make sure that you practice on the images that are provided for you. And then just fish out a couple of images from Google and also practice on them as well. And then one final thing before we end the video is that if you have a bunch of clips, shot in the same frame, so I'm just going to toggle it on this Eclipse icon over here. So if you have a bunch of clips showing the same frame, for example, this one and this one. And this one. So, yeah, so these clips here, what you can do is if we've applied a color grading effect, I'm just going to move this slightly this way. If you've applied a color grading effect to this clip over here, you can basically copy that color grading effect and paste it onto this clip over here. And this clip over here. The way you do that is you basically just right-click on this image in the preview window. Then from the drop-down, select Grab Still. Then what you do is you select all the clips that you want to apply the color grading effect to, in my case, will be this clip, clip 13 and clip 14. So I'm just going to press and hold command. If you're using a PC press and hold Control, and just select this clip. In this clip. And then what you do is you just right-click on your steel. And then from the drop-down, just select, Apply Grade. And that's basically how you apply the effects that you've added to one clip, to all the rest of the clips that had been shot in the same frame. And that's it guys for color correction. Hopefully that wasn't too much to grasp. It wasn't too difficult and you enjoyed it and see you guys in the final video, we will talk about the final bit of the video editing process, which is exporting your final created peace. 18. Exporting Final Video : Hey guys, welcome to the penultimate lesson of this course. This last part is very easy now is basically just exporting your final visual piece and saving it on your computer. So let's jump right in. So to export a video, what you wanna do is first go to the Deliver tab by clicking on this rocky icon over here. This tab does look very confusing. But don't worry, just like the other two tabs we've gone through, you'll get the hang of this one as well. Okay, so in this top panel over here, you can basically see all the presets which you can apply it to a video before you export it. And I use the YouTube preset most of the time. So I'm just going to select it over here. If you click on this arrow to the left of the YouTube icon. So this arrow over here, you can basically see all the different resolutions which you can export your video. And I'm just going to keep my video resolution to ten ADP. You can change it to 1440 or 2160 p. So for k, but I don't like doing that because it takes up too much space and 720 p is too low resolution. So I don't think my final exported good deal would look nice. I'm just going to click anywhere. Alright, then what you wanna do is we want to give our file a name. So I'm just going to name it motivational video. And then what you wanna do is you want to select a location, a location in which you will save this file gets at this final video. And what we do is we just hit Browse. Okay, and we just find a location. So file in which you'd want to save your final video. I'm just going to save it in this file over here. Then hit Save, so that's it. And then what you do is you just select Add to Render Queue. Then over here you select Render and you basically just wait for your video to render. And then once the video has rendered, it should take a couple of seconds to minutes. Your video will automatically just appear in your computer files. Go through the struggles. You go through the hardest moments in your life, and then you find out what your main data. You find out how much fire you can go through in your life. It's not easy. It's never easy. It's always hard, It's always ugly. And to be honest, it's what makes you, you. So embrace it, embraced the hard times in your life because they won't last. Embrace what you have right now in your life because it can be gone tomorrow. That's the reality. That's the reality that we don't live in a society is that we say, Oh, it's gonna be around forever. I got enough time in the world. But the reality is, is that you don't have enough time. And that's it for exporting your final video. I'm glad you made it through right till the end. And I thank you for that and I'll see you in the end for the final conclusions. Bye for now. 19. Conclusion : Congratulation guys for making it to the end.
