All language subtitles for 2 Most Important Editing Shortcuts Beginners Must Know - DaVinci Resolve

Hi, I'm Kelly Jordan from local
radio and films amplified at home.

And today we're going to be taking a look
at some of the most important

keyboard shortcuts
any editor should know ever.

And we'll see how to implement
these shortcuts in resolve.

Now, if you are an advanced user
of resolve

or if you're been editing for a while,
I'm sure this will be standard for you.

But for anyone who's starting,
these are the most important ones,

period.

So in this video,
I'm not going to be showing you

keyboard shortcuts, so I'm not going to
go, You know what, if you press.

Q Does this or else it does that?

No, these are

keyboard shortcuts designs, let's say.

And for me, I assigned these
shortcuts to certain keyboard

buttons.

However, you might assign them
to different buttons entirely, but

you need to understand that these options
exist in every editing environment.

So let's see how to implement them
and results.

So if you take a look at this timeline
here, I have a bunch of clips

on my timeline and let's say
you want to trim these clips,

what you would usually do
is to hover the mouse on top of the edit

point and drag, you know, to trim
this clip from this side.

Listen to a bit more advanced technique
is to switch the mode and resolve

from the selection mode to the trim
edit mode by simply clicking here.

And now I've just activated the trim
editing mode, which simply means that now

if you hover the mouse next
to the edge of the clip and you trim

reserve one, close the gap between
both films, which is pretty standard.

So the first keyboard shortcut here

is to trim a clip from one side.

So, for example, listen, do let's say
I want to trim this part from this clip.

Now I'll click here to switch
back to the selection mode.

And I assigned a keyboard shortcut
to one of the letters.

I'm not going to tell you which keyboard

button I'm using because I don't want you
to use the same one.

I just want you to understand
that this exist now and resolve.

I assigned a keyboard shortcut to trim,
and so if I click a button

on the keyboard,
I just trimmed this clip from this side.

Then I can drag the hit
to this particular frame.

For example, when he starts to lift
his body

and I can click another keyboard shortcut
for trim beginning.

So if I click it, I just trimmed the clip
from the beginning.

So it's pretty simple.

The first keyboard shortcut
takes the position of the play head

and either trims anything after the play
head or anything before the play hit.

Now that's pretty easy and simple.

However,
this is not the fastest way to edit.

Now what I want to happen
is to click one button

and resolve will, for example, trim
anything after the play head

and at the same time closes the gap
and with another keyboard shortcut

resolved, will trim

anything before the play
head and close the gap at the same time.

To do that and resolve,
I simply go to keyboard

customization shortcut
and take a look at this.

We have trim, end and trim start.

So in resolve you need to assign a button
to trim and and trim.

Start whatever button works for you.

So for example, I'll play head here
and I'll switch the mode

now from selection
mode to the trim edit mode.

And now it's the same exact
keyboard shortcut.

So what happened here
is that the keyboard shortcut

I assign to trim beginning
or trim end is the same.

Nothing changes at all.

However,
what changed now is that we switched

the editing mode from selection to trim.

I notice now that with one
click of a button, resolve will trim

these frames after the play head
and we'll close the gap.

Then, for example,
if I want to trim the area before the play

head here, I'll use the other keyboard
shortcuts to trim from the beginning.

And now with one lengthy.
What will happen to these frames?

I clicked so Resolve deleted the frames
before the play head and closed the gap.

Now, this might seem not important now,

but try to edit the one hour film
and you'll see how important this is.

Because what happens is
sometimes you need to work fast.

You simply just need to come
to this frame.

When she, for example, starts to lift her
hand up and you just need to trim

everything before that and close the gap
with one click.

So I'll simply one click here.

And I just closed the gap directly.

And for example,
when the guy moves up again,

so the next time he goes up,
take a look at the image here.

I just need to click one button
and resolve trimmed everything

after the play and this will allow me
to work very, very fast.

Take a look at this for example.

I can trim here or there, trim
this and maybe trim

this clip here
and maybe come to this part, trim

the excessive part, for example,
come to this frame, trim this part,

and this will make your work
much, much, much faster.

Now, of course, if you're an editor
or if you've been editing for a while,

I'm sure you know this.

But for beginners, believe me,
once you start working

this way, you won't believe
how much faster you're editing.

There is one more keyboard shortcut
I want to discuss here, which is ripple

cut. In result.

You just look for a ripple cut
in your keyboard.

Shortcuts and you find any button
that works for you for that.

So a triple cut does is pretty simple.

For example, I'll select this clip here

and I'll hit backspace and note
that I deleted the clip,

but I still have a gap here
that I need to close manually.

There are many ways to close this gap,
but I don't want the gap to be created

in the first place.

I want resolve to delete a clip

and close the gap with one
click of a button

and to do that you need to assign
any keyboard shortcut to Ripple Cut.

So I'll select this clip here selected.

And now with one click of a button
I deleted this clip

and closed the gap directly.

So for example, if I don't want this
particular clip here, I'll selected

and one button and I just deleted the clip
and closed the gap.

So as I told you, we we did not discuss
keyboard shortcuts.

Like, I didn't tell you.

Listen, just click this button
and this will happen.

These are ideas.

Now, these keyboard
shortcuts will change your life.

If you're a beginning,

just try them and you'll discover
that you can work much, much faster.
