1. DaVinci Resolve Class Introduction: Hi everyone. This is Lynn. I were YouTube creator and previously was a
marketing director for many years working for a defense electronics
manufacturer. Now, I make videos on stock market investing
and personal finance. My YouTube channel is
60 perfect wealth, and I've made over 100
videos over the past year, all using Da Vinci
Resolve for PC. When I was first
learning to edit, I learned from a hodgepodge
of instructional videos, first from black magic, the macro of Da Vinci resolve, and then various
other YouTubers. I found it frustrating that these videos covered much
deeper instruction of the softwares
capabilities than what I needed to know as a
new YouTube are also provided where both PC and Mac shortcut commands or just
mac shortcut commands. This was also very frustrating
as I've always used a PC. This is the class
I wish I had what I was learning to create
videos for YouTube. This would have
speeded up the number of videos I created and probably resulted in my channel becoming monetized and three
meds versus six months. If you enroll in the class, I'll be taking you through a
step-by-step editing process that you follow using the free version of
Da Vinci resolve. This free version can
be downloaded from the Da Vinci Resolve creators
black magic website. In this class, you'll
learn how to turn out a snappy video to grab
the viewer's attention. First, learn how to
optimize your videos, audio, cut out all the videos, mistakes, and edit for the role. This B-roll including photos, graphics, and short video clips, can help you convey
an atmosphere from fun to authoritative
or dramatic. I'll also teach you
how to add titles, transitions, and sound effects. While teaching you only the
de Vinci Resolve shortcuts and commands that
you will need to get you through your
edits efficiently. You will also learn
how to color grade your video to add just that
final touch of polish. Finally, I will show
you how to render your finished video and
then upload it to YouTube. These skills are valuable
and will aid you in producing videos for other
areas as well, if you'd like, whether for other
social media platforms or as a gig worker, most employers today also value employees with the
skills which might just provide you with that
extra edge to gain that next raise or
bump up in position. I'll take you through learning these skills while
editing a short video that I provide titled Five sides of penny stock is
worth millions. Or if you have a video of
your own ready for edits, you can use that and just follow along with
my instructions, make sure and post in the class project area and share your progress
and questions. What's really great is that
I'll be able to follow your progress and give you
feedback and suggestions. There's your questions arise. I look forward to
see you again soon.
2. Setting Up Your Project: In lesson one, setting
up your project. In this lesson, you
will learn how to set up a new project
individually resolve. First, I'm going to pull in the video that we're
going to edit today, then name and
create the project. If you have a video that
you shot for editing, you can use that instead and just follow along
with my instructions. Now, let's open up Da Vinci
Resolve and get started. The first thing
we need to do and Da Vinci Resolve is to set up the project and program manager. On the top left-hand
side of your screen, go to the file drop-down menu, then to Project Manager. Now we will give the
project a new name. Select New Project. Then we give it a name. We'll just put Skill, Share for short, Da Vinci, Resolve. Then click Create. What we're going to do next is set up the project settings. So we go to File drop-down
menu project settings. I recorded my video
in high definition. So we're going to
select those settings. We go to the top timeline
resolution dropped down. We select 1920 by 1080 HD. I also, when I
recorded this video, had a frame rates set
in my camera of 29.97. So I select that and
then I click Save. Now I could pull
in the video strip that I am going to
edit today with you. Remember that if you recorded
your own video strip, you can use it instead. I keep the videos on my
computer's hard drive. First of all, I need
to be in the Edit tab. So I keep my videos
in on my computer. In data video. I find the video
strip on my computer. And then I pull that
into individual resolve. Once my video is
individually resolve, you can adjust the view of the different audio tracks
and the video track. And we call this an 8-track. There's an eight-track and most of the time
there's a beat track which is your added in
type videos pieces. Now that we have
our projects set up before we make any
edits to our video, I will review the layout of
Da Vinci resolve with you. This next lesson will
give you an idea of the function for each of
the software tabs or pages. I look forward to seeing
you in the next lesson.
3. DaVinci Resolve's Layout : Lesson two, division
resolves layout. In this lesson, you will learn about the layout of
Da Vinci resolve. This will give you an idea
of the function for each of the software tabs or pages and how they help
you edit your video. So let's get started. Today we're going over a
da Vinci resolves layout. So I'm going to go over
the various pages or icons you can see at the very bottom of your
screen here today, as well as the use for each one that you understand
better what we're doing as we go through the
Da Vinci Resolve edits. First of all, on the
top left-hand side of your screen you'll see the media pool where I have
my mouse rolling right now, the media pool is where we keep the different photos, graphics, the main enroll
for your video as well as B-roll that we'll
be using in the future. Music, everything that's
incorporated into your video. And if you want to see
the media pool by itself, there's an actual
page for that at the bottom left-hand
side of your screen, if you double-click
that it takes you into viewing the
media pool by itself. You can see our
timeline here that would include all
the Arab B-roll, sound effects and everything. And then the videos trip itself, Skillshare five signs, penny
stock that we're editing. So if we go back to our screen, we'll go back to our edit page, which I use primarily
when I'm editing. The one right to the left of the edit page is the cut page that gives you a zoomed out view of in this video
that you're editing. And I really don't use
this very often anymore, used to it a little
bit at first, but I found it to
be faster and more efficient to stay
in the edit page. Next to the edit page
is the Fusion page. The icon with the
three dots and a forward slash is called
the Fusion page. This is where you
can access many of the more advanced
Vinci Resolve editing features that we don't need
as beginning YouTubers. So we will skip this page today. The icon to the right of the Fusion page
is the color tab. That's the icon with
the circular dots, with a dot in the middle. If you double-click that, it takes us into the color page itself where you can
work with contrast, all the different areas
of color for your video, which will cover during
upcoming lesson. To the right of that is the
fair light or audio page. That's a very important page where we edit the video and we can access a number of
different capabilities, such as the equalizer
and compression, noise reduction and so on. So that's a very important page. Finally, to the far right
is the little icon. It looks like a spaceship. That's what you go to when you're going to
render your video. We'll be going through
all these settings in the render lesson, you can see to your left, I'll help you set
those to be able to optimize your video and
render it for you too. So that covers our layout
for a Da Vinci resolve. In the next lesson, you will learn how to
do basic audio editing. The audio is the most
important feature of a video, and it's important to
edit the base slide audio before deleting
pauses or mistakes. I look forward to working
with you on the audio.
4. Editing Audio: Lesson three, editing audio. In this lesson, you will begin the initial editing
of the videos audio. The audio is the most
important feature of a video. And it's important to
edit the baseline audio before deleting the videos,
pauses, or mistakes. Audio is of key importance in editing as poor audio
will garner the most completes from your viewers or cause them to
drop off your video. So I tend to edit the
audio first thing, once I input a video into
DaVinci, Resolve for edits. First I right-click
on audio one, as you see here. And I want to normalize
the audio levels. That helps normalize
it all the way across. So that is good level. I usually set mine to minus
1.7 and normalize it. Then what I do is I go
into the fair light tab, which again is the one
with the musical notes. You can see that on the
bottom right of your screen. So we're gonna
double-click that. First of all, we're going
to pull up the equalizer, makes sure that
you have the Mixer selected on the top
right of your screen. This will bring up
the controls for the audio that you're
working on right now, we only have an audio one. What we want to do
first of all was, is to set the equalizer. So if I double-click
on the equalizer area, it brings up the
equalizer itself. Now all these settings you see here on the
left and the right, I leave those as is, but I want you to just
see other ones for my lavalier microphone views in the video that we're editing. So to do that, we want to go through to make some edits to this audio
to improve the sound. So what we do, first
of all is hit play. Although the petty
socks are volatile and really what we're doing is we want to make sure and have the sound level
hit between 1510, risky and especially
susceptible to price manipulate warmer playing that if it peaks into the red, it can really break
up the sound and be really rough on
your listener's ears. So let's play that again. Let's go and dive into
analyzing penny stocks. But first, if you can give
this video a thumbs up, I just pulled up the
bus to the right, so at about the same level. So that's looks pretty good, but let's adjust the
sound so that we can make it sound even
better if possible. Says we're playing this. We're going to try to
adjust our band 2345. Greatly appreciated. Penny stocks trading
at under $5 per share are usually price it
away for a valid reason. The stock can be
a once thriving. What I did there is I
was just listening to where the sound
really sad, that bad. And then I pull it back down. That way you dampen
the sound that was, it was really kind of a deep
echoey kind of a sound. So we'll do that in the next two bands also and
see what we come up with. Your exchange. A major exchange
requirements had to DList and is now trading as an
over-the-counter OTC stock. Or it could be a new company and with
little market history, not yet meeting the criteria to be listed on a
major exchange. Penny OTC stocks
are much riskier than listed stocks due to lower financial
reporting requirements. You should remember
it's that a lot of sneaky underhanded financial
tactics can be involved. So that sounds pretty good. So next what we want
to do is we want to turn on our compressor that will compress any of the sounds that are too high or
too low in pitch. So to do that, we want to click
the effects below your A1 audio and the plus sign that will bring up our list of different audio
meters we can work with. We're going to go to dynamics
than multiband compressor. And all we need to do
here is to turn that on, which it is right now. Here. Once we turn it on, it can make the sound too low sometimes. So we could turn
back up the gain. So let's listen to that and
see what it sounds like when they report
financial results. Penny stocks can also, you can see I just
turned that up some because I wanted to hit
again between 1015. Let's listen to
that one more time. It is requires conducting a thorough due diligence
before making an investment. That sounds really good. So I'm going to close that
for now. Leave that on. Next. We will save your equalizer audio settings
as a fair light preset. Then when you edit
your next video, you can just access
the preset and voila, you are done once
it's on like this, so you don't have to go through
and set this every time. You can save this setting under the name of
your microphone type. So to do that, we go to the fair Line dropdown. At the top of your screen. We click that. Then we click the
Presets Library. Then what we do, I wanted to
save this as a new preset. So go to the fair light, drop down, then to
the Presets Library. Then I want to save new
at the bottom here. I'm going to call this
lavalier mike test, as I already have one
for lavalier mic. Here's another one. Now we have that
lavalier mic test. What I could do in the
future is when you go to make an edit and you
open up the equalizer, all you have to do is
go to the fair light, drop down to the presets. It will bring up this screen. You choose the lavalier mic
tests and misspelled that, oh well, click your
audio one that you want to apply it to
and click Apply. And then it will
go ahead and put the settings in there
so you don't have to go through listening to
it all over again. That's old done and set up. Now you have a
basic understanding of editing your videos audio. In the next lesson, we are going to edit our video to remove
pauses or mistakes. I look forward to seeing you
again in the next lesson.
5. Deleting Pauses & Mistakes: Lesson for deleting
pauses and mistakes. In this lesson,
you will learn how to delete pauses and
mistakes in your video. I will share both the
Da Vinci Resolve icons for each editing
command as well. The keyboard shortcuts. You will quickly find that editing a video with
keyboard shortcuts and enables you to complete your edits in a reduced
amount of time. Viewers attention span is
very short these days. So we need to edit out
the pauses in our video. Keep it moving at a nice clip that keeps
your viewers interested. I recommend again
that you go through and listen to the video
one time for pauses. You'll notice that
you can visually see pauses in the
videos audio track. First. Before you get started
editing your video, you need to make
sure that the zoom is set to optimally
frame the speaker. Once the initial zoom is set, we are going to go
through the video and edit for pauses
and mistakes. Since this is a chain for a
Da Vinci Resolve on a PC, I'm going to use
PC type commands. You understand how to
edit quickly and first, when you start out
with your video, you want to make sure
you have the zoom set, how you want it to, how you do that is
over on the right. You want to make sure you have video selected versus audio. And then you can zoom in
or out depending on how you want your video to
look and zoom in closer, zoom out farther,
change your position. I'm going to leave it
how I had it for now. And you can zoom in and
out depending on if you wanted to see
things closer up as you're going
through your video. We're going to go through
this once you fix your Zoom, we're then going to
go through and we're going to edit pauses. So what I recommend
is that you go through and listen to
your video quickly. One time, we all know that
penny stocks are volatile. So once you've done that,
you can go through it. You can actually visually see
your pauses in your video. And again, you can
pull this up and down depending on or you
want to work with that. So we see first one here. We want to make
sure that we don't clip off any parts of the audio. To cut this, we can
use the Cut tool here. Or my favorite thing. Much easier is to use
Control backslash. Press them at the same
time for us control the backslash and it
will do the same thing. Then what I do is I just drag over here to where the sound starts
again, populations. And now we can hear that
another great trick for retaining viewer interest is zooming in and out of the video. When you have a hand gesture
or starting a new thought, you can zoom in or
out of the video. This has been proven to help retain the
viewer's attention. But remember to focus on keeping the presenters eyes to a consistent level to keep
from jarring your viewer. Here we can move it in
slightly, pull it down, do another break, pull out
the pause, move it over. I used my Control
backslash to do the cut. And then I can again
zoom back out. So in the Zoom I've
put that down and then for my y-axis I can
move it back up. Thinking investors, this
is a lid and welcome back. So let's go and dive into
analyzing penny stocks. But here we have
quite a big breath. Rising penny stocks. So I can again do Control
backslash or use your cut tool. But what to get out of
the Cut tool again, you'd have to click your pointer afterwards or just stay on, which can be very frustrating. So I do that again. And now we can listen
to this piece. I think penny stocks, But first, if you could give this
video a systems up to let me know you'd like to see
more videos like this one. It would be greatly appreciated. Now we have a long pause. We wanted to get rid of that. Again, Control backslash. Pull over your piece you're
missing and you could only do this if you have all
unedited video to right? Or you're gonna cause a lot
of breaks in your timeline. If you go back and
realize you've missed an issue in the video. We could take a different
editing approach. Let's find a pause that we
missed previously to remove. If you could give this
video a thumbs up there. So what I would do if I
just pulled out the pause, I pull this over, I'm
gonna have a break. What I could do now
is hit edit on do. You can always undo
anything you just did. And instead, I can actually
zoom in on my timeline, which I do a lot
zooming in and out of. You can see right here, I do another Control backslash and then I click on the area I wanted to delete and **** shift backspace, and
it gets rid of it. We can listen to that again. Up to let me know you'd like to see more videos like this one. It would be greatly
appreciated, pennies. So again, since we're going to a new section of the video
to retain interests. Let's let's zoom back in thin. What I wanted to do is
I wanted to go here. So anything you're going
to make a change to, you have to have that segment
of the video highlighted. And then I'm going to pull it
in about another 50 or 60. Back down again. So my eyes
are about the same level. It's pretty good. Stocks trading it under. I did make a cut to later in this eight-track
and cut off a word. Now I will drag the cut to the left at correct
position, even easier. The keyboard shortcut for
edit on do is Control Z. Here we are dragging
our timeline cut to the left to reveal
the cutoff word. Now, let's play that. Fully appreciated. Any stocks trading it
under $5 per share. Or we are now going to go through and get rid of
our other big pauses. I am recording a video. When I fumble or make a mistake, I immediately speak the
section right away. This makes editing a lot easier. So we're going to re-listen
to the section and cut that issue out per share are usually so that
was a little strange. So let's get rid of
that control backslash. We're gonna pull out
the issue right there. And I can see there's
another big breath here. The stock can be, I
can see it from that. So again, I'm going
to line it up. You control backs slash, pulled over and rejoin my clips. We have about four
minutes of video, so we're just gonna get rid
of the major pauses today. Be thriving company now on the brink of
bankruptcy or failed, a major exchange,
a major exchange. Now here is a problem and
we need to look at getting rid of this repeat right here. I, I said a major
exchange twice. So we're gonna pull that over. On the brink of bankruptcy or failed a major
exchange requirements. Well, I can see we have
one more problem in here. We're going to get rid of see
if there's anything else. I think though, here we go, Here's another one,
Control backslash. It's really good to get and have your doing this and
you have to be really careful when you join these that you don't jam it on
top of the other one, wipe out a bunch of your video. Again, if you do that, you can hit Edit, Undo. I see my other big
one down here. Solid understanding of
the company's management. It can help lead you
to the winners and losers that completed our lesson on deleting pauses and mistakes. To add something more fancy, add to your video. We can add titles like I'm going to share
in the next lesson.
6. Adding Titles: Lesson five, adding titles. In this lesson, you will learn the basics of adding
titles to your video. Titles help to add
spice and variety to the video while keeping the
viewers focused in gauge. Now let's listen to the video
and add titles where we see fit was play through the video to where
the presenter says, penny stocks are risky. Titles are very important
in your video because they add emphasis and they also help retain the
reader's attention. First of all, let's
play through the video. We all know that penny stocks
are volatile and risky. Let's just add something in here that says penny
stocks are risky. We want to click on the
Effects Library and you can see we have all kinds
of tools to work with here, from video transitions to audio transitions to
titles and generators. So right now we'll
stick with titles. You can actually see
what these titles look like by moving your mouse
over them is a scroll. When I use this
quite a bit also, in case you want to have
text scroll of your screen. So I tend to try to
keep with something simple but a little different. So this one, we have
this little text box. We're going to drag this down. He wanted to start. And then we're going to hover our mouse hover indicator
bar right over the middle. This text. And we're going to change
the text to penny. Stocks are risky. And we can change the
size here and the color. If we wanted it to be blue, for example, we could do that. But we're just going to right now and just change
it back to white. You can pick your brand
colors and go with that. That is actually bred
color for me is this blue. Stick with that. Penny
stocks are risky and then we can
move it up or down. So we go to Settings over
to the right next to title. Again, we have our x y position, so to pull it down so it's
not like white on top my face sometimes I do
that on purpose. Actually. I tried to make the text
larger so that it's easily seen when you view
it with a mobile phone. Let's play that and see
what it looks like. We all know that penny
stocks are volatile and risky and especially
susceptible to price minimum. We want this to be a
little bit shorter. So what we're gonna do
is pull it in here. Try that again. Stocks are volatile and risky
and especially susceptible. We can go through and you
can play with some of these, see what you think
fits with your brand. Like another one I like
to use quite a bit. Is this superhero one? Just show that to you. It's kind of fun. And I
tend to with this one, the top text, sometimes
the bottom texts. I can make it larger. I can again go to settings
and move it up or down. Just to give you an idea
of what that looks like. Although we're gonna
delete that in a minute, adaptable to price
manipulations. But there are those rare penny
stocks that can greatly. To delete the title
that we just added, we're going to click the title in the B-roll
to highlight it, and then click your
backspace button. If you hit the Delete
key by mistake, you will delete a segment of the video along with the title. All we have to do again is to go to Edit Undo and we've
got it back again. So again, we want to highlight our title and hit backspace
to get rid of that. We can go through and add
titles here and there. Next. Stocks that can
greatly reward us risk-taking investors who this is the lid and welcome back. So let's go and dive into
analyzing petty stocks. But first, here we're
actually going to use that superhero title that
we've practiced with earlier. I'm going to pull that down. But first, I don't have any top words to put
Superman to click again on title over to
your right top text. We're going to get rid of it, highlight it, and
just backspace. Then we're gonna go down
to the bottom text. And we're going to put,
but first in all caps, to get our viewers attention. We're going to increase
the size where it says bottom text size and maybe pull it down
just a little bit. We probably want to shorten how long that's on the screen. Let's play through it and see. We've been analyzing
petty stocks. But first, if you
could give this video of analyzing penny stocks, But first, if you could
give this video a, now that we added a
couple of titles, in the next lesson, you will learn the basics of
adding B-roll to the video. New role can be photos,
graphics, drawings, or shorter videos, snippets to add definition,
interest, and emphasis. I look forward to seeing
you in the next lesson.
7. Adding B Roll: Lesson six, adding B-roll. Welcome back to editing with
DaVinci Resolve for PC. In this lesson, you will learn
the basics of adding and positioning B-roll
and transitions along with a sound effect. These can all be important to retain the viewer's attention. You could also add atmosphere to your video that
you want to convey, such as fun, tension, or drama. The role can include photos, graphics, and additional
short videos. Adding B-roll provides more
zest to your video and again, aids in retaining that all
important viewers attention. The B-roll overlays
the main a role video. You will be using the B-roll
photos and video clips that I made available to you
in the project resources. And you will need to have downloaded and saved
them on your computer. First, we're going to
add in the photo titled risk directly after the
penny stocks are risky, title on your B-roll track, usually for B-roll
and you want a photo or video showing for very
short period of time, like a few seconds. So here we'll listen
to the video again. The arts are volatile and risky, and especially we're gonna
pull this and we're going to add it in a risky B-roll. So we're going to go and
pull in C when it says risk. We're going to pull
that in white next to our title and see
what that looks like. Usually for payroll,
you want to have that showing for very short period
of time, a few seconds. We're going to shorten
that by pulling it over. The other thing I like to do to make it less jarring
for the viewer is have a smooth transition between your video
and your B-roll. To do that, I hover my
mouse over the corners of the photo we have here and pull it in and pull
it on the other side. We'll play that again here
and see how that looks. Violations. But there are those
rare penny stocks. And if we wanted even make
that more extreme by again pulling corners and further
to add a little more punch, what I always do is
add Dynamic Zoom. This makes the photo
look more like a video clip added
into your main video. Let's play that and see
what it looks like, susceptible to price
manipulations. But there are those birds already to go through and add on a few more B-roll clips here. We're going to refer
here to thumbs up. So let's pull in our
little movie that I had you download
for the thumbs up. We just take that
and pull it down. You have that happy.
You could see right here it was it had an Audio related to it and I want And
it was overwriting my audio. So what I want to do
is I add a track, so I right-click on the
empty space under audio one, add a track, and I'm
gonna call it a stereo. So now I can add that in. Now there's space with an audio without overwriting
my main audio. And again, I'm going to pull my little viewer bar down here over to the right
so I can see what I'm doing as I did before. I'm going to go through
and pull in the corners. Smoother transition. And I'm going to under smart referring
select Dynamic Zoom. To add a little more punch to the video clip. There we go. If you could give
this video and it's gone back to let me
know you'd like to see more videos like
you could see where I stopped asking the viewer to give the video a thumbs up. So let's shorten the length of the video clip to
the same point. You could go through
the video and decide where the additional
video clips for it. In the next clip, we will add is
titled bankruptcy. Go ahead and forward in your video to the
point where I say, at the point of bankruptcy, on the brink of bankruptcy, 40 have one for bankruptcy. Let's pull that in. You slider
over here in the corners. Smoother transition,
now on the brink of bankruptcy or failed a major
exchange requirements. We've added that one in. Now we're going to
do our next one, resulting in the complete
loss of an investment. Number one. Okay, So we're looking
for number one there on our timeline, go to 1012022. And then you want to
drag in the number one, check penny stocks
fundamentals. Same thing here. You want to pull in the corners. Each end. Turn on Dynamic Zoom. The only time I don't
use Dynamic Zoom is if there's a lot of
texts involved that is going to be hard to read. A part of it is off the
screen during the Zoom. Otherwise, I pretty much used Dynamic Zoom on all my B-roll. So let's just do
this and where we should had this number
one stop in the view. Conducting a thorough due
diligence before making an investment and not
relying on information. We've added that one in. Now we're going to add in our next photo titled
Walter energy. We're talking about
Walter energy company. The Walter energy screenshot
at 010, one hundred, three hundred seventy to
two on your timeline. Go back to your
B-roll screenshots. And we're going to
pull in Walter energy. And I'm going to again
pull in the corners at Dynamic Zoom and let's
listen to that glanced Walter energy company might have looked like a great investment, but the stocks investor,
that looks good. We have one last B-roll clip to add in entitled
Researching penny stocks. I'll let you do that on your own for to the video timeline 1022808 and pull in
the video clip here. We've made great progress
toward completing the video. In the next lesson, you will learn the basics of optimizing your videos color.
8. Color Grading Your Video: Lesson seven, color
grade your video. In this lesson, you will learn how to color
grade your video. Next, we're going to be working with our color grading tab here you can see the colored wheel on the bottom of
your screen view. We're going to go in and
learn how to brighten it, how to add pop for your viewers. We're going into color grading. You can see here when
this open to your left, you're gonna see
all of these wheels from Lift, Gamma Gain, offset, color, boost, and so on. We're gonna work
with that first. And we're going to
see if we can make a little bit of
improvement my colors pretty good on this
video I think. But we're gonna go
see if we can give it a little bit of improvement. So we're gonna go first
to our color temperature. We're going to play
around with that. We can see if it looks
a little better, like to increase its sum, you'll see really
you can wipe it out. Do this about 60. Then I like to look at the tint. We'll play with that. I have colored lights in
the background. You can see red and blue. I like to see if I can
increase that at all. Increase that up to about 32. That looks pretty good. Then color boost. Think it's real important
to have as much color as you can without
overdoing it your video. So I increase that. So I gave the video a little
bit of a color boost, also increased to 252 can
play with all of these. And so you get the
hang of it over time. Seeing what you can do
to improve your video. And the next thing
I like to do is I'd like to go to the color curves. And I don't think I need
to work with that much, but some of your videos
you will need to, and it's really easy. What you do is you just
go here and you can see It's a great way
to record video too. But you can pull it up or down. Now here I liked that because I gave it a little more depth. Again in the video. We're gonna just a
slight adjustment here. Same with this one,
very slight adjustment. So that's looking really good. We're gonna leave that for now. That was a quick introduction
to color grading. It could deliver a big
approve it to your video. Learn to try this, use it and play around with it. In the next lesson, you will learn how to render at export your finished video. Thanks for viewing and I'll
see you in the next lesson.
9. Rendering Your Video: Lesson eight,
rendering your video. In this lesson, you will
learn about Render Settings and how to apply and optimize
them for your video, da Vinci Resolve uses
the term deliver. Once the video is rendered, you want to view the finished video product
before we continue further. Now let's get started. So now that I've gone through
my video and I've added in all my B-roll, my sound effects, as well as my different titles, as I pointed out to you on
the document that I provided. I'm ready now to
render this video. What we're going
to do, we're going to go to the Deliver tab. Looks like a little
rocket ship down on your lower right-hand side of your Da Vinci resolve screen. And we're going to click
that over to the left. We want to make sure we have
Render Settings clicked. Since we're going to upload this video to YouTube afterward, Donald, let you do
that on your own. But we want to make sure
that we click YouTube first and see if the
settings I'll look correct, which they do 1920 by 10802997. The next we click custom. And here we're
going to browse on where we want to have
the video rendered to. I'm gonna put that on
my C drive videos. And I Skillshare. I usually give myself a
rendered video folder, A5 size, gonna give it
a name, Skill, Share. Then we're going to check our render settings
should add here again, we want you all we care about here is make
double-check again, a resolution 1920 by 1080. Frame rate is 2997. And then we want to
make sure and we have a higher-quality video when we upload it to YouTube is going
to look nice and crisp. So we're good to change
this to 30 thousand. We're all done here. So we're going to add
it to the render queue. So here we are ready
to render our video. We're going to go ahead
and click Render. And when that's all done, get back to you and
we'll take a look. In the next lesson, you will learn how to upload
your video to YouTube. I look forward to
see you again soon.
10. Uploading Your Video: Lesson Nine, uploading
your video to YouTube. In this lesson, you will
learn how to upload your completed and rendered
video to YouTube first, just to reminder to listen
all the way through your video for any issues or mistakes that you
may have missed. You'll also want to
have a thumbnail and shorter description
available for your video to add
during the upload, I make my thumbnails on Canva. And the free version of Canva is all you need for
now to do that. Now let's get started
with our upload. Now that our render
is done as we can see on the top-right areas. We could go find it on our
hard drive and view the video, and then upload it to YouTube. Here we are, and I found
the rendered video. We can double-click and I always recommend listening
to the entire video. One of the biggest
problems I've had is leaving something
dangling off the end of the video where it keeps playing when the
video should be done. So always lifted to it, see if there's any issues
before you post it. Dogs are volatile and risky, especially so we
can open that up. Next thing I'm going
to show you how to upload this video to YouTube. Here I am at my YouTube channel. And you can see the actual
finished video I had uploaded recently showing
on my main screen. So to upload this video, like it's brand new, I want to go into your videos. Then I click Create. I can upload a video. All you need to do here
is to drag the video over on top of this view and it will
upload it to YouTube. But make sure you have a
thumbnail ready to go, as well as a description
for your video. Stick around and I'll go
over what you accomplish today and the conclusion
for this da Vinci resolve. Editing a video for
YouTube exercise. I look forward to
see you again soon.
11. DaVinci Resolve Class Conclusion: In conclusion, okay, we are now done
with editing our video. This is essentially my
entire workflow for editing a basic YouTube video from
start to finish product. In this class, we spent time editing out pauses
and mistakes and adding B-roll and sound to give your video
that special zip. Here you've learned all
the key functionality you would need to put out a YouTube video using
individual resolve for PC while building and excited
and engaged audience. If you have further questions or additional editing
suggestions to share with other students, please leave them
in the comments. Also, let me know what you would like
to learn about next, make sure to follow me
and check for my other da Vinci resolve and
YouTube skills videos, which if they aren't out yet, will be released shortly. I look forward to seeing you in a future class or on
my YouTube channel 60. Perfect, Well, thank you
for watching and I look forward to seeing you
again in future classes.
