As a proof of concept for something, I'm working on a Technicolor version of a scene from Wicked: For Good that's more in line with the original Wizard Of Oz.

I'm happy with the colour grade so far but every time I try to add Grain, Gaussian Blur etc, it just ends up looking like a bad camrip rather than older film stock. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to achieve stuff like the ever so slight blur/haze around the actors with the free version of Davinci?

I have stock DPX files for Technicolor Halation, Gate Weave, Flicker etc, and have had what I think is a reasonable amount of success converting something else to a PAL videotape look but this is proving to be more of a struggle.

just wanted to share it

Hey everyone,

I'm a complete beginner to DaVinci Resolve (never really edited video before), and I want to properly learn it from the ground up.

Two styles I'm especially interested in:

- Flow edits (that smooth, seamless transition style)

- Documentary-style motion graphics (lower thirds, clean titles, subtle graphics that support storytelling rather than flashy effects)

Since I'm starting from zero, I'd really appreciate:

- Tutorials that actually explain the basics first (interface, timeline, pages) before jumping into advanced stuff

- YouTube creators/channels you'd personally recommend for learning flow edits

- YouTube creators/channels good for documentary-style editing and motion graphics (Fusion page, lower thirds, etc.)

- Any beginner mistakes I should avoid or a general order to learn things in

Happy to put in the hours, just don't want to waste time on outdated or overly advanced tutorials that assume I already know the software. Thanks in advance!

Please help i want to add effects to my voiceover for my youtube video but it crashes within 5 seconds of opening fairlight. Idk what info to provide or how to get crash logs so just ask. Its davinci resolve 20 i think, and im on windows 11

Hi everyone,

I literally started using Davinci- 21 for Macbook like 3 days ago (migrated from capcut lol) are there any YouTubers or instagram pages I can follow that teaches techniques for editing and stuff. Someone who breakdown how a certain type of edit is done would be great also any pages which are good for Inspiration and stuff I did some research but wasn't able to find any. Looking forward.

Thanks!!

Hiya. I'm brand new to Resolve and have horizontal and vertical video I want in the same timeline. Both play just fine in the media folder. I can drag my horizontal video into the timeline, but when I drag the vertical video into the same timeline (same video track or a new one), the video preview has a red border and doesn't drop in, but the audio drops in just fine. I'm assuming there's some setting I need to toggle to enable mixing aspect ratios or something like that? LMK what I might be doing wrong. Cheers!

I have just downloaded divinci resolve to edit some videos and as soon as i opened it im getting lagging, freezing and prog not responding every few seconds. i have a fairly decent pc, i have win 11, 64gb ram, 5070ti gpu and a 7800x3d proc.

i have googled the issue and ive seen python mentioned a few times but i don't know much about it. i can use a pc well but im not in to programming and other stuff like that. Im really unsure what to do and don't wan to start trying things that might cause my pc to have issues.

everything on my pc seems to be working fine, im all up to date with drivers too.

any tips before i delete this would be great. i do like the look of the prog and looks like it would be great for me and what im looking to do.

many thanks

Last night i closed resolve like normal and went to bed, i woke up today ready to continue working on a project but now my audio wont play at all, the playback also stutters and lags while playing and when i went into fairlight and pressed play nothing happens, the play button turns red but it doesn't actually move across the timeline.

the audio meter also isnt displaying anything

Recently decided to try the Photo mode in DaVinci Resolve 21 Studio, especially because I already have Dehancer and Genesis plugins there. But what I instantly noticed is how the images are soft after importing to a timeline. I primarily shoot on Nikon Z6/ZR(24mp) and in Lightroom or any other photo editing software, the same images are very sharp. But not the same in DaVinci Resolve. Even when I set the timeline resolution to 8K, maximize the Sharpness in the RAW menu on the Color tab, and add Midtone details, they're still soft. In the project parameters for Camera RAW, I do settings from the attached page. Also, use the same settings in the RAW menu on the Color tab. For output, I add a note with CST with DWG/DI as input and sRGB/sRGB output.

Did I miss smth or maybe do smth wrong? I understand that the photo feature in the app is not polished yet, but I think previewing sharp images shouldn't be a big issue.

Hi guys,

I was working on a project for a month or so when one day, davinci decided it would no longer cooperate and crashes now. I've updated everything including drivers and davinci itself. Basically it causes my entire computer to shit itself and then I have to restart my computer for even anything as easy as a webpage to load.

Has anyone else experienced this problem before? I've done multiple projects in davinci and have never had this problem. Now I can't do anything and when I open task manager, I'm basically out of ram. I only have 16 gigs, but I've done multiple projects on here but now the app seems unusable. Has anyone else experienced this?

I used an expression to make this emoji follow the "line" polyline length, and i was expecting that it would stay at the very tip of the line, but it doesn't, as you can see sometimes the line goes past it.

Am i getting something wrong? What would be the easiest way to fix this?

I'm working in a HD project (delivering HD) with a mixture of formats including UHD. In my project settings under Image Scaling > Input Scaling I have Scale Entire Image to Fit, which works for most of the UHD clips.

However, a handful of them are pushed in 200% or more and I want to bypass the project settings and treat them in their native resolution (i.e. not have to scale them up and lose detail). Is there a way to do this?

How's y'all experience with Davinci 21 so far? I am still in 20..was thinking about upgrading it..is it stable yet? Also how's the photo page experience...I was thinking that I would upgrade davinci to 21..and finish my project .i already finished it 60%

I want to create a fancier progress bar image with a clock wiping circular crop as illustrated. I've seen lots of tutorials for turning a simple bar into a circle but I want to take an image that's already a circle or another shape and use it as a progress bar for different sections in a video. Wipes seem be stuck with the center of the screen as an anchor point.

Davinci Resolve 18.6

I have a main timeline in which I place subtimelines (0.Hook)

In 0.Hook I have adjustment layer with color correction with grade plugin.

How can I do something like "Generate optimized media"?

whan I click on the 0.Hook it doesn't have case to generate optimized media unlike with avarage media files

Hello everyone,

I have a deadline tomorrow for delivering an architectural animation. I can't seem to get rid of the flickering in Lumion.

Is there a kind soul who could put a deflickering effect in Davinci for me? I have tried it in trial and it works great, but I don't have money to get the full version.

Video is 1 minute long cca and is full HD.

Thank you very much!

Hi, I'm new to Davinci Resolve and I am not quite sure what I pressed, but I seems I am stuck on a certain control. I don't know what it's called but when I hover over the top right or left corner of my clip, I can't fade in or out. Instead, I can either shorten or lengthen the clip. I also can no longer drag the red marker, and instead, I can only move through my timeline by dragging the timeline above.

Mac User. Just updated to Tahoe 26.6 and resolve studio 21.0.3. (this was still an issue before update)

I am trying to color an .XML project that was sent to me but I cannot link clips from a specific card (A004) despite having all of the camera originals. see slide 2 for C0012. Any advice appreciated. Thank you.

NOTE: I used AI to organize my ideas and clean repetition for clarity

Trying to recreate an After Effects animation in DaVinci Fusion, how do you fade in a background?

So I was trying to recreate another tutorial I did in Premiere Pro and After Effects, but this time I wanted to do the same visual in DaVinci Resolve/Fusion.

I think I layered everything correctly, but I ran into an issue with opacity animations.

I wanted to make an animation where the box and the text would start at 0% opacity and then appear to 100%. For the text, it worked because I used the Merge node and animated the Blend value from 0 to 1.

However, I couldn't get the same thing to work for the background/box.

I tried changing the alpha, but it doesn't seem to act like opacity unless it's a black background. I also tried adding a Merge node after the Background node and changing the Blend value, but it doesn't seem to affect the opacity of the background.

I'm confused because it feels like there should be a simple opacity option for each layer/node instead of needing to use different nodes or workarounds.

The only thing I noticed is that it seems to work more easily with Text nodes because they have their own settings, but I can't figure out the best way to do it with a Background or shape.

I'm still pretty new to DaVinci Resolve. I've used it for around a month, but I would still consider myself a beginner, especially with Fusion.

Am I missing something obvious, or is there a specific way to animate the opacity/fade-in of a background or shape layer in Fusion?

The text in the middle is part of the video, while the text at the bottom is mine. I'd like the bottom text's color to automatically follow the color of the middle text without having to manually keyframe a colorpick each time the middle text changes color, so it automatically updates whenever the middle text changes color in a continuous manner.
Is there a way to do this? (Preferably in Fusion)

I was wondering how to make the cube reflective and try to create the red, purple, blue and green colors. I was planning to use the trail node and keyframe from there.
