Hey guys,
I want to jumpship to resolve but there a few things that keeping me from that. In my job I work with a lot audiotracks. Most of the time 15 tracks but this can be up to 27.
But even with correkt audio level the waveform is way to small. I know I can zoom in Fairlight but this doesn' help me while editing.
Thhis also effects my second problem. I can't find a way for rearranging, for example the timeline, like I can do in premiere. So that my Waveforms cann be bigger.
Does anybody have a solution for that?

Thank you!
I keep getting this mesage despite barely using any GPU memory. I have a 7800xt with 16GB of memory and task manager says I'm only using 4GB when I get the message. I have 32GB of RAM and I'm only using 14GB. The settings of resolve are set to use all of the available memory. My CPU has no integrated graphics so it can't be using any other GPU but my 7800xt. Is this an AMD bug or Resolve bug? I have a studio license.
I'm new to DaVinci, anyone know why and how to fix the issue were my footage isn't cropped after exporting.
I was messing around with Text+ and with Fusion Titles. In the sample image I can place a black background to make the letters easier to see by going to Text+ > Shading > enable element 2 > select second to last option for appearance > change the level to text and change the color.
I love the animation for the Long title, but it does not always show well on the screen and I don't see similar options to give it a dark background.
Does anybody know of a workaround or will this involve me learning about the fusion side of things?
Thank you
Additional info: For the animated Long Title - - I went to Tool Box > Titles > Long Title
I'm a brand new editor, and I'm working a new job that requires some video editing. The company gave me 800GB+ of video files (in Google Drive) from various projects they've had filmed in the past few years. All the files are MOV, and some are as big as 40GB.
I JUST last week bought a new laptop, mostly for this job. It's an Ausus ProArt P16 running Windows 11. I have access to Premier Pro, but I want to try Davinci (free) since I'm new to this - it looks easier to try and learn quickly for upcoming projects.
Every time I try and load the MOV files into Davinci, they don't work. They show up in the media pool as blank boxes with no picture or audio. I've tried researching this but haven't gotten anything really. I bought Microsoft's HEVC Extension, but it made no difference.
Heyo, so I was editing a video and I have multiple audio tracks (one for my game recording the other for my microphone), and I'm trying to set it so my audio is, for lack of a better word, nonexistent if it's below a certain threshold. I thought I had the right idea with the limiter but I can still hear the small noises like breathing and clicking the mouse as it seems I'm just setting the ceiling rather than the floor.
This is probably pretty obvious, but what setting would I use to exclude anything below a certain audio level? Thank you!
I have begun using Project Server to allow access to my projects whether working from home or remotely. Initially I installed the Project Server on a (Win 10 Pro) Dell M4800 laptop and followed a Youtube tutorial to configure port 5432 with Windows Defender inbound rules, Everything worked great, love it!
To eliminate the M4800 laptop, I figured it would be cleaner to run the Project Server on a Windows VM which is always up on my UNRAID NAS, so I installed the Project Server software exactly the same way on the VM. However, my remote laptop running DaVinci Resolve will not connect to this VM server instance.
Figuring it might be something about the VM, as a test I installed the Project Server software on a third Dell M6800 laptop (same procedure as the others). The laptop running DaVinci Resolve will not connect to this server either.
All server machines also also have Davinci Resolve on them, and there seems to be no issue with the (working) M4800 Project Server to connect to it's own "Network" database when Davinci resolve is launched.
I don't think it's related, but I'm accessing the servers remotely through virtual network adapters created by Zerotier. Zerotier allows my portable devices to access my home devices remotely no matter where they are.
As it stands, my Resolve software can only access the M4800 instance of Project Server. Any suggestions? All settings and port rules are identical, tried connections by typing and also by creating and dropping access keys. What am I missing?
When I try to render VERTICAL video on my Snapdragon X Elite HP Omnibook, it says it is missing the appropriate codec.
But when I render the same video in landscape mode, it renders just fine. It only has issues with h264 and h265. I can render that same vertical video in a different format no problem.
Is this some type of bug? Any idea how to fix? And yes, I have the HEVC codecs from the windows store.
Currently don't own any laptop and do all my editing on my desktop. However, over the foreseeable future, I'll be traveling more so would like to be able to continue work while away from home. I always shoot and edit in 1080p, primarily a mix of 264/265 footage from my Lumix and/or iPhone. Almost all work is done in edit, with some sparing use of Fusion.
All that said, here's the dilemma. I know that 16gb is the recommended minimum, but at today's real-world prices, it's a huge jump in cost. Right now, Costco has the base 8/256 M2 MBA for $699. To jump to 16gb, I'd need to get it from Apple/Amazon for $999.
TLDR; Can you reasonably edit a 1080p timeline, with 8gb on an M2 Air, or is the $300 price difference a pill I'll just have to wince and swallow.
Hey, does anyone know if there is a way to lock in the colour space and gamma on the HDR wheels so I don't have to set them in every single node when I'm working with the HDR wheels. I am a solo shooter and am always working with the same camera, colour space, and gamma on every single clip. It would be nice if I could just set the colour space and gamma to be defaulted to the settings that I change them to in every node.
Thanks in advance!
So I tried using the auto-detect cuts feature, and it worked ok however some of my clips have 4-5 cuts in them where they shouldn't be and I want to restitch this clips to one longer. just deleting and extending doesn't work as it seems to remove the rest of the data on the sides.
is this possible?
sorry if I explain it poorly I'm new to this
Hey! I very recently downloaded the free version of DaVinci 19 to edit some videos for a real estate photographer. I am passionate about this profession, and he told me that Davinci is the standard for professional video editing. So I downloaded it, and he sent me some videos to edit. But when I try to import these videos, sometimes only the audio shows up, no video. So I tried converting them through Shutter Encoder to Apple Pro Res, but now the videos will just glitch at time and datamosh. I don't know all the terminology and I come from Sony Vegas 16 Pro (which I've used for 3 or 4 years now) and seriously don't know where my problems are at.
its the first time i see this error.
Thankssss
I need some help. I use resolve 19 to edit longer videos (30-60min) and recently got new graphics that give me a hard time since it’s lagging while editing and also rendering extremely slow (50-100fps for the clips and only 2-4 fps for the graphics). My biggest problem atm is that while rendering the video, daVinci suddenly closes and it says “program closed unexpectedly”. This happens all the time no matter what preference I choose I tried so many different settings. I even changed to a better hardware and the problem still remains.
Howdy. I bought my copy of resolve studio a good few years back when i bought an URSA, but int eh years since haven't really needed many fo the studio features so across changing my PC never bothered keeping up the version and just used the free version of resolve for what i needed. Now, I need a few of the features for a bigger project, and i've looked online but can't find any definitive answer really - when i bought it, the dongle was *supposedly* a lifetime subscription, but I can't find a way to actually download studio resolve to see if the license will activate nor find a way to activate it in the free version I have. Anyone have similar experiences/a real answer for me? I'll spend the money if I have to, just don't want to if it's, ya know, pointless.
Hi, I'm playing with Resolve and trying to do an offline edit. I should say I am usually an Avid user. In Avid you can see the source timeline as well as the edit timeline. I make over length assembly edits of my rushes,or even sections and load them in to the source monitor. It's really useful as it means I can get to stuff quick and I have bits that are already working. So seeing that source assembly timeline and my edit simultaneously is a real help because I don't have to hunting for shots and its all condensed in to the 'best bits'. Is there any way I can do this or is there a workaround anyone has found. I am sure I cant be the only person out there who works like this or even come from Avid to Resolve. Thanks for any ideas
Is there a way to manage external files when using a fusion comp. Saving as a template. Inside the comp I have a loader node to load in this external file (.png) but I need to load on other machines with other users as well and looking to make this a relative path where maybe I could add the .png to the edit>titles folder. Looking for the best way to share titles (.drx files) but include the external files (.png's) in template. I know there is something I'm missing.
I am a small Youtuber. For one my past videos, I started getting some comments that they can hear the audio from one ear only. It is working fine on all of my devices and with multiple earphones (wired, wireless etc.) I had deleted the project files by then so I could not cross check the settings.
I posted another video today and have received another comment about the same issue (only one so far). I am pretty sure that the problem is only with some people and not all as I also had many friends check and it seems to be working fine for them but at the same time, I had received more than one comment about this on my previous video, so I am weary of this now. Idk what to do because on my end the audio is working perfectly fine for both the videos. I watched multiple tutorial videos but my clips default settings were in stereo only so there wasn't any change required.
For the video I posted today, I even made a point to cross check the audio settings. Screenshot is attached.
Can someone help me understand what could be going on and how can I make sure this issue dosen't occur for anyone (even if it seems fine on my end)?
Hi, I'm a beginner video editor, and I'm curious if there are ways to remove or reduce visual effects and transitions in fully-rendered videos, like movies or pre-edited clips. Since I only have the final exported video (not the original project files), I know these effects are embedded, which makes editing challenging.
I’d love to know if there are any beginner-friendly techniques or tools that can help with:
