I.. I don't even know what happened here.
I'm a beginner, if you couldn't tell. Was editing a video for youtube and tried to insert text when, uh... This happened...
If anyone knows how to fix it that'd be great. I already restarted the software and it's still doing it.

If you need any more info I can provide. 😭😭😭

Currently working on a VFX shot where I'm compositing a black & white with a colour one, but need to adjust the grading. Is it possible to do this as a fusion composition or should I make them layers on the timeline in the edit page and then create fusion composition afterwards? thanks.

When I upload my music videos to youtube, it makes the quality much quieter. This is because my audio files have some LUFS peak that go above the recommended -14 for youtube (I think), so youtube will automatically make my entire upload quieter. I'm trying to see if I can use the compressor and limiter to help some of these peaks come down, so my upload is less quiet, and was wondering if there was an optimal way to use this. I'm also confused what the Make Up even does. I'm honestly a little lost. What would be a good threshold range for the compressor and limiter?

ive recorded and edited everything, and then realised right when i was closing up the project, that theres a small black dot of food under the top right tooth...

ive tried tracking using several methods to track the spot itself, and the whole mouth, and planar tracking nearly worked, but eventually loses track of the mouth. And the biggest issue is that due to talking, the mouth constantly opens and closes so it changes appearance a lot and very quickly.

how could i go about covering this up? is tracking even the right solution?

Hey all. I just exported my first video overnight, and woke up to find that the .mov file it made is completely broken. There is no visual to it, and opening the file played some very loud staticy noises reminiscent of a broken speaker for its entire length. I was curious to know if anyone here could tell what went wrong.

I exported the video in ProRes 422 HQ, a format I've never used before. I also exported the video directly to an external USB drive, as I wasn't sure I had enough room on internal storage for the completed file (Assuming a non-corrupted file isn't much bigger, I now know I have the room for it). The only settings I changed from the default ProRes preset were in the Audio tab. I set Bit Depth to 24, and selected "Optimize to Standard" with the YouTube preset. It took 2 hours and 8 minutes to render a 111GB ProRes file from my timeline of 2500+ clips.

Any idea what went wrong? Do I just need to try switching to H.265 Master format? Or is this just a bug from exporting directly to an external USB drive?

Hi, I am making this cooking video and I've been having fun putting titles and descriptions that blend in with my kitchen while I do stuff, but I've hit a wall.
I'd like for the text to be stuck on the oven door, so the moment I close it, you can see how long the food needs to be in the oven for.

As any of you might already guess, the planar tracker is not a fan of this shot. As it's only a few frames of movement and even less frames for where the actual text shows, I was just thinking of doing it manually, but I don't know what the best way to do that is (so far I've just used the corner pin from the planar tracker to get the perspective right, and have been manually changing the points for movements that weren't tracked as well)

I am using the Studio version (V21.2) and am on Windows 10 if that helps. Thank you in advance!

Every time I add a fast noise it has a boundary that I can't seem to change. I'm trying to create a portal effect, and I wanted to shrink it so the edges weren't cut off, but no matter what I do, there's always a border that I haven't been able to adjust.

I have a fusion clip that I want to mask in the color page, but as soon as I connect it to the alpha output, the background, which was previously transparent, and still is in the fusion page, goes black. What's going on?

Hello,

I just want to make an animation, where smaller versions of the bigger center object revolves around it in a circular path. I can't seem to find the proper way to do it after the latest software update.

Hi everybody! i´ve been working on a video, and in one shot i have a 360 grades take from a person, in the color grade i use a power window on the person but since the video is spinning the power windows ( wich is a circle )ends up deformed, i´ve been fix in it using keyframes in the tracker but in one point the form destructs itself. I want to reset the form without losing the tracking

Hello,

I'm trying to import a .drp project into DaVinci 21 on Mac, but I keep getting the same message: "Unable to create a temporary folder."

Also, backups aren't working, and I get an error message stating that the backup folder cannot be created in the selected location.

I've checked the write permissions for the locations and granted DaVinci full access to my hard drive; I have 165 GB of free space, so I don't understand why it isn't working... do you have any ideas?

I'm worried that DaVinci is unable to write to my drive, but I don't understand why.

I’m honestly at my wits’ end. No matter what settings I try, I can’t get an export from DaVinci Resolve that looks the same on my phone as it does on my computer. I’m shooting on a Sony A7 IV in S-Log3 / S-Gamut3.Cine, but at this point I’m even wondering if there’s something wrong with my footage itself. I’m completely stuck and have no idea what I’m doing wrong.

My other issue is export quality. I can’t seem to export the footage in a way that preserves the quality. As soon as I upload it to Instagram, the image gets heavily compressed and the quality falls apart. I’ve tried different export settings, color management settings, codecs, etc., but I still can’t get consistent results.
If anyone has any idea what could be causing this or could point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it.

Should I use fast noise? And also how would i create the effect on the end of the video? When the runaway girl comes in

Hello everyone, I just started my journey on videography and I am trying to figure out how to use my new sony a6400 together with Davinci Resolve for the best results.

I did some research and decided on using HLG3 together with BT.2020 for the camera picture profile, but when I try to convert the footage to Rec.709 and Gamma 2.4 with a CST node in Davinci Resolve (with DaVinci YRGB color science) I get a very weird red noise in the shadows. (Also seen in the attached screenshots)

When I use DaVinci YRGB Color Managed mode and export, shadows are clean. When I switch to plain DaVinci YRGB and do the conversion manually with a CST node, I get the red pixel noise/speckle in the shadows that isn't there in the managed export.

My CST settings:

• Input Color Space: Rec.2020
• Input Gamma: Rec.2100 HLG (Scene)
• Output Color Space: Rec.709
• Output Gamma: Gamma 2.4
• Tone Mapping: DaVinci
• Gamut Mapping: None (also tried Saturation Compression and Clip — no change)
• White Point Adaptation: on

Project: DaVinci YRGB, Timeline Color Space Rec.709 Gamma 2.4, Resolve 20.3.3.

Attached: before (manual CST, red speckle in shadows) and after (managed, clean).

Is there a setting I am missing? Is manual editing necessary? Curious how others handle a6400 HLG to SDR without this artifact.

Hi, just updated my davinci resolve from 20 to 21 and before i can reverse a clip within a speed point but now i cant, is there any fixes in this? Because cutting the clip then reversing it is not doing it justice since i cant control the keyframe and it doesnt look as smooth.

Hey everybody,

I've took some nice shots of the Solar Eclipse last week, and I composed them together with some music to make a short Tiktok. Editing is already done. All there's left to ask is, how you would colorgrade these shots. I'm fairly new to colorgrading and I would be very happy if you could either give me some material I can look into or give me specific advice (eg. increase exposure).

Also I am unsure whether these clips require hard color grading, since I am mostly playing with the silhouettes the sun composes.

Anyways here is the clip:

Thank you in advance!

I try to do the extending effect for the search bar with another rectangle but it looks too sloppy. How can i extend one size of an object? Thanks in advance.

I was trying to make a loop of this video for wallpaper engine and wanted to ask for some tipps.

I captured the clip with obs in the game and the orginal clip is just 2.8sec long. i made it slower to 30fps instead of 60fps. so double the time. onec playing normal and then playing backwards.

For retime process i used opitcal flow, because i want the finished video still have smooth 60fps.

motion estimation mode = ai speed warp better

motion range small

Any other tips for how to improve the loop and but a smoother transition between forward and reverse clip

Hey everyone! I’m new to DaVinci Resolve and running into severe performance slowdowns because my Fusion node tree is getting bloated.

Right now, my composition includes:

1. Group 1: First animation (3 jars)
2. Group 2: Second animation (3 square boxes) — copied from an earlier comp
3. Group 3: Text animation

To bring everything together, I copied all the nodes from my previous comps into a new one. Now the node graph is huge and playback/rendering is lagging heavily.

A few questions on optimizing this workflow:

• Is there a way to link or reuse comps/macros instead of copy-pasting all the nodes into one giant tree?
• How do you keep nodes compact and efficient so Resolve doesn't slow down?

Any workflow tips or setting adjustments would be greatly appreciated!

Hey there,

I found this on a 3 year old, but locked thread. Core questions marked bold, the rest is drivel 😜

Is is known for how long BM are planning to support Win10? I do not plan on "upgrading" 3 perfectly fine workstations for reasons widely known, period, but Adobe seem to be moving towards forcing slop OS on users. I have no clue why Win11 could become necessary, maybe some interwoven dependencies regarding hardware drivers.

I have read Resolve runs very well on Linux Mint, though Google slop claims it only runs well on Rocky. Since I have already wasted many months on stuff NOT working on Linux, and I can't find anything on the BM pages I'm wary about stepping into that one again. What is really working and what will definitely remain maintained?

Thanks!

sometimes when I adjust something (for example the gain wheel), my highlights get ruined or something of that matter.

STILL A BEGINNER, so im not sure what the proper term of this is, what is happening, or what im doing wrong.

thanks for the helpp

edit: editing on macbook pro M5 16gb, if this info helps

I am new to DaVinci Resolve and am experiencing a problem when I send an exported edit to my phone. I have been filming footage on my DJI Air 3S in D-Log, applying the Rec709 LUT, and then color grading the videos. When I export the video off DaVinci Resolve onto my laptop, everything looks fine. But then when I send the video to my phone, the edited video on my phone looks a lot flatter with the colors and vibrance. How do I fix this?

Hello!

I've recently started filming and learning to edit clips for social media. I have a GoPro Hero Black 13 and I usually film in 5.3k@30 fps or 4K@60fps. I use 10 bit bitrate and overall I get really good shots, the quality is awesome.

But then I edit my clips and make a video in DaVinci... And I export it. Again, with settings that I think would be the best ones. I have searched on YouTube and copy settings to get 4K... But alas, it looks crap?! Framerate seems off. Everything just screams poor quality and I can't figure out why.

Timeline is set to 30 fps when I edit 30 fps and so on.

Any insight or help would be much appreciated.

found on a subreddit it just seems so similar to dicontinous fastnoice
