    High pitched whine and crackling in a classical audio recording

    I recently recorded a concert of a classical choir, and during the rehearsal just before the concert I noticed a high pitched whine and quite some crackling in the recording – too late to fix anything, so I had to go ahead. Please take a listen to this sample. The set up I used was two sE8 cardioid mics in NOS configuration between two sE8 omni mics in 75cm AB together on a stereo bar, going into a Zoom F6 on a NPF battery through XLR cables, using phantom power and recording in 32-bit float .wav.

    I use this set up all the time on choir performances in countless venues, concert halls and churches alike. Never have I encountered this problem. I must admit: my main focus is video, my audio is always 'good enough' for the amateur choirs I usually work with – I also don't charge them a lot, as I want to support amateur music. As all the audio I record is purely acoustic and natural, I only tend to fiddle with some EQ and levels in post, I don't have more knowledge on audio editing and clean-up.

    As you can hear through the link, I think however I managed to minimize the high pitched whine, but oh boy, that crackle is very audible in the more quiet parts. So I have two questions: what type of signal caused the interference, and more importantly, is there a way to filter the crackling out without degrading the singing voices? I work with Davinci Resolve Studio, I don't know or own any other software tool. Is there someone here who would be able to help me out?

    F2 Shortuct to rename.

    Hiya, I use a 60% keyboard with the "FN" mode enabled, meaning when I hit Fn + 2, it acts as if I would press F2 on a normal keyboard with the F# keys. But, suddenly, it stopped working, and it won't rename clips anymore. I use it a lot, and have F2 binded to anything with 'rename' or is supposed to change the name of a node/clip/bin etc. But now it doesn't work. I connected a normal 100% keyboard, and it doesn't work there as well. Any extra info needed, just ask. TIA

    Sorting Clips that were cut out of a single clip in Media Pool?

    Hello,

    I filmed my class trip in warsaw some time ago with my old MiniDV camera. That means, I get one big Video clip for each cassette, which I then have to cut up into single clips. Because of the low video quality, the auto detect scene cuts feature from resolve didn't work, which means that I had to cut up everything frame by frame.
    I now want to work with these clips by dragging them into a bin in the media pool, but there they all get mixed up- I have no preview of their first frame and I don't have any options on sorting them correctly. How can I do that? Or can I turn all Clips into seperate ones that aren't depending on the big base clip I had in the beginning? I use the newest Studio version of Resolve.

    Thank you so much for your advice!

    why is text size changing with resolution?

    If I change the resolution of the project, the text size gets either big or small.

    I want to keep the text+ size the same regardless of the resoluiton.

    Can anyone tell me how to sync a large number of sounds under a large number of videos?

    I have 100+ videos, the same number of files with audio, and I need to sync them together

    I could do it manually, but the video and sound are not sequential and it is not possible to sort them by file name

    Now I'm trying pluraleyes, but I can already see that it's split into 15 tracks, because some sounds have other formats mp3, wav, mp4, etc.

    Can anyone tell me how to do it more easily?

    Issues with BeatEdit pluging/script

    I bought BeatEdit from https://aescripts.com/beatedit-for-davinci-resolve/

    Followed the manual of the installation, opened up Davinci but when I go to the Workplace->Scripts -> BeatEditForResolve I get this pop-up.

    Is it really just available for Pro version and I just wasted almost 50eur for nothing? Or is this fixable and I have done something incorrectly?

    Edits made on the Fairlight tab disappear in the Edit tab.

    Greetings. So I'm working on a project that has multiple cameras and audio angles. When I go to Fairlight to use voice isolation (button/toggle on the right) on a single audio angle, while still in Fairlight the voice isolation will work. The moment I return to the edit tab and play through, the voice isolation is gone. When I go back to Fairlight, the voice isolation button on the right has magically turned itself off again. The same applies for other changes such noise reduction, EQ changes, dynamics etc. Any help? It's infuriating.

    I'm using the studio version of da vinci, ver 19.0.0.69.

    Is there a way to extract the Vector.X and Vector.Y from the Optical Flow node IN Fusion?

    Hey there!

    I don't have access to Nuke anymore and I'd like to get a motion vector pass from a video.

    I see that in Fusion, Optical Flow creates a Vector.X and Vector.Y channel, which is exactly what I need, only I don't know a way to extract those and render them out.

    Do you have any idea how I could do it?

    Thanks!!

    Play Button Flicking After Being AFK

    Hi guys. Long time Resolve user here. I'm having an issue that I hope you may be able to help me with.

    Whenever I go AFK for an extended period of time I come back to a flickering play effect. It only happens when I hit the play button. I have to save my project, close it and reopen Resolve. This is a new problem since about 19.1. It appears to do the same thing with or without smart render cache.

    Is there a way to stop this from happening or is this a known bug?

    Davinci Resolve Glitching Badly

    Everytime I load my project up to work on it, pieces of my project have lost their transform information and are just haphazardly stacked on each other instead of nicely placed like how I had it. I do not understand why this is happening, the only way to fix it is to delete and restart but this costs me too much time because of all the effects and placing it, I cant do this everytime I load my project. Any ideas on what to do here? Davinci Resolve has basically become absolute dogshit ever since I updated to 19.1.

    DRS 19.1, Option to upload to YouTube has disappeared. How do I get it back? If I have chapters in the delivered video, will YT re-create the index in YT for me?

    This may have happened when I uploaded to 19.1, but I'm not sure. I've tried different Codec options, but I haven't gotten it back. It also signed me out. I signed back in, but that didn't fix things.

    Suggestions?

    Formula driven LUTs for colour correction of an LED display

    Hi all,

    I've spent the last year developing some insane Christmas lights that use HDMI to display video on them:
    https://youtu.be/U5uRAEv8I2s?si=1YZk96a4TJ4cJ3it&t=21

    The hardware works great, issue is I'm awful at video editing, and the LEDs have a very unusual colour response.
    What I'd like to do is use a square root colour scaling within the video I generate in resolve to display on it. I see you can make LUTs, but is there a way to generate them externally with code? or is there a way within resolve to use a formula for scaling?

    Thanks for any help!

    How To Key Frame And Speed Ramp Combined

    Hello all,

    I thought I was the master of key frames until I have been humbled on the latest clip I am trying to edit.

    The clip is a looped netball pass with a speed ramp. The breakdown:

    - Clip has been speed ramped at normal speed while passer has the ball, then slowed down at point of release to the point of the shooter receiving, which then goes back to normal speed.

    - Trying to key frame the ball alway being in the same position using Position X and Y.
    - Also trying to zoom in to the ball at it's peak height and then zooming back out.

    The clip is in 9:16 (filmed in 9:16 as well) for social platforms.

    As I am key framing it all seemed perfect and straight forward but when i play it back the clip is all over the place. Please can anyone advise on best form of practice to get this spot on? That would be massively appreciated.

    Do i do the speed ramp first, or last? Do i click the key frame for full list in "transform"? Or key frame Position and Zoom independently?

    This is really messing with my brain. Thanks in advance

    There are folders in Project Manager which I cannot remove

    I would like to get this color correction

    for those who are able to do it I ask with a fee a tip to do this type of work, I have to emulate that graphic style that you see below, above is my original video, below the video of a user who used a lut that I also have but he did color correction and I can't emulate that color correction, can someone help me reach that level?

    we both recorded with the same cam, gopro

    we both have the same basic lut purchased from the same creator.

    we both have the same recording settings, 4k, same fps and same shutter etc etc.

    both are recorded more or less at the same time you can notice from the fact that both my bike and his have the shadow of the bike on the left, which makes you understand that more or less the time was similar and the position of the sun was similar in both cases, this could help with the correction

    I can't emulate his color correction, whoever helps me I would be happy to thank him with a fee/tip.

    who is available comments here and then I will contact him privately where I will release a short video of mine, link of the youtube video of the user who did that color correction, and I also share the basic lut that we both applied, so you also have a basis on where to start doing color correction.

    obviously the work must be done on davinci resolve because then once the work is finished I must have the lut with the color correction so the nodes created are visible in my project so that I can manage them personally

    Is This White Balance Recoverable?

    I was taking rollers in a tunnel with very warm lights and was wondering if this white balance is recoverable and if so what your approach would be to neutralizing it. The car is white if that could help me out. This is a raw unedited clip, I'm editing on the free versiom 19.1 on a mac. Or maybe if I should leave it and keep the warm effect?
