Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,754 --> 00:00:07,090
So another really cool feature
that the media tab
2
00:00:07,090 --> 00:00:10,844
has is the ability to create annotations
on top of our footage.
3
00:00:11,052 --> 00:00:14,723
Annotations are basically like markers,
except a lot more advanced.
4
00:00:14,931 --> 00:00:19,269
We can create markers at certain points
of our clips and leave text, but also draw
5
00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:23,690
on our actual image and create things like
arrows and shapes and things like that.
6
00:00:23,773 --> 00:00:27,110
Now, in my own workflow,
using annotations has been very useful
7
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:28,611
for two specific reasons.
8
00:00:28,611 --> 00:00:33,199
One of which is to record ideas
that I might have in the process
9
00:00:33,199 --> 00:00:34,909
of going through my footage.
10
00:00:34,909 --> 00:00:38,955
So if I come across a clip that I think
might work with another clip or,
11
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:43,084
you know, I want to test something to see
if it will work for a certain transition,
12
00:00:43,209 --> 00:00:45,670
I can create an annotation
for that certain clip
13
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:49,090
at a specific point on that clip
and draw out my idea
14
00:00:49,090 --> 00:00:52,594
on the clip itself
and also add some written details as well.
15
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:56,056
This can also be very useful
for when you're sharing projects
16
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:57,307
with other editors,
17
00:00:57,307 --> 00:00:59,642
leaving your thoughts
and ideas in markers,
18
00:00:59,642 --> 00:01:03,271
not just in written form, but
also visually On top of the clip itself
19
00:01:03,438 --> 00:01:04,814
can be a very useful
20
00:01:04,814 --> 00:01:08,276
and powerful way to communicate ideas
between different editors.
21
00:01:08,318 --> 00:01:10,361
So with that being said,
let's jump into the media tab.
22
00:01:10,361 --> 00:01:11,738
I'll show you how it's done.
23
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:14,616
Okay, So I have a clip
selected in my media pool down here,
24
00:01:14,616 --> 00:01:16,326
and if I go up to my preview window here
25
00:01:16,326 --> 00:01:19,329
in the bottom left,
I'm able to select annotations.
26
00:01:19,454 --> 00:01:23,249
Now, this gives me the ability to now
draw on my image
27
00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:25,877
because I have this tool selected
right here.
28
00:01:25,877 --> 00:01:27,212
This is the stroke tool
29
00:01:27,212 --> 00:01:31,549
and then next to it you can see that
we have an arrow align a rectangle,
30
00:01:31,633 --> 00:01:34,010
and we're also able
to change the color over here.
31
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:37,263
So let's say at this stage, you know,
I had an idea
32
00:01:37,514 --> 00:01:39,432
of something that I want to do.
33
00:01:39,432 --> 00:01:43,853
Maybe I wanted to introduce this character
and track his name to his head.
34
00:01:43,895 --> 00:01:47,023
So what I could do is maybe draw
like a line out here
35
00:01:47,273 --> 00:01:51,778
and something like that, just to visually
give an example of what I'm thinking.
36
00:01:52,028 --> 00:01:54,572
And we can see that in our little timeline
here.
37
00:01:54,572 --> 00:01:55,865
A marker has been created.
38
00:01:55,865 --> 00:01:57,575
It's this little blue thing right here.
39
00:01:57,575 --> 00:02:01,162
If we double click on that,
we are able to give it a name
40
00:02:01,246 --> 00:02:05,875
so we could change the name to label
41
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:07,752
skateboarder
42
00:02:07,752 --> 00:02:09,170
and we can add notes.
43
00:02:09,170 --> 00:02:12,674
So this note section is really useful
because,
44
00:02:12,757 --> 00:02:16,636
you know, if you have an elaborate idea,
you can write the entire thing here.
45
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:18,596
And later
on when you hand over the project file
46
00:02:18,596 --> 00:02:21,432
to someone else
or you know, for your future self,
47
00:02:21,432 --> 00:02:23,476
you can come back to this marker
at any point
48
00:02:23,476 --> 00:02:25,436
and just double click on it
and view the notes.
49
00:02:25,436 --> 00:02:28,606
And here we're also able
to change the duration of the markers.
50
00:02:28,606 --> 00:02:33,611
So if we wanted to play out longer
on our timeline, we can do that here.
51
00:02:33,695 --> 00:02:35,905
We can create keywords
52
00:02:35,905 --> 00:02:38,491
and we can also change
the color of the marker.
53
00:02:38,491 --> 00:02:41,494
We also have the ability
to remove the marker in here too, to
54
00:02:41,536 --> 00:02:43,997
now we can press done.
55
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,916
One little quick tip for you guys
is if you hold option
56
00:02:46,916 --> 00:02:50,295
or alt down on your keyboard
and click and drag on your marker,
57
00:02:50,461 --> 00:02:54,132
you're able to change the duration
of that marker in that way as well.
58
00:02:54,215 --> 00:02:57,385
So it would cover
a larger section of your timeline.
59
00:02:57,468 --> 00:03:00,763
Now we can see that that red line
that we created is showing up
60
00:03:00,763 --> 00:03:02,473
for the span of the marker.
61
00:03:02,473 --> 00:03:06,060
So maybe we only want to show up like that
much.
62
00:03:06,144 --> 00:03:11,316
And now, you know, in this marker
we can write out animated
63
00:03:11,399 --> 00:03:12,358
motion.
64
00:03:12,358 --> 00:03:15,236
Graphic label
65
00:03:15,236 --> 00:03:18,448
to show skateboarders.
66
00:03:18,448 --> 00:03:21,743
Name something like that.
We can click done.
67
00:03:21,826 --> 00:03:24,329
Now we can also add things like arrows.
68
00:03:24,329 --> 00:03:27,665
If we click this arrow tool,
we can draw arrows.
69
00:03:27,916 --> 00:03:31,753
This can be very useful
to just create arrows instantly
70
00:03:31,753 --> 00:03:33,504
instead of having to draw them out.
71
00:03:33,504 --> 00:03:35,632
And of course,
we got the line tool as well,
72
00:03:35,632 --> 00:03:38,051
and we got this square tool as well.
73
00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:41,763
And we could change the color over here,
74
00:03:41,846 --> 00:03:44,057
make it any color we would like.
75
00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:46,476
Now, obviously in this situation,
this doesn't really make sense,
76
00:03:46,476 --> 00:03:48,561
but I'm just showing you guys
as an example,
77
00:03:48,561 --> 00:03:51,314
this is honestly a really powerful tool
that I wish
78
00:03:51,314 --> 00:03:54,984
I had earlier on in the other programs
that I was editing in.
79
00:03:55,151 --> 00:03:58,696
I definitely use this a lot now,
and it's a great way to just communicate
80
00:03:58,696 --> 00:04:01,824
the idea that you're having
to your future self or to other video
81
00:04:01,824 --> 00:04:05,536
editors in a nondestructive way
because you're not actually
82
00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:07,288
doing anything to your clip.
83
00:04:07,288 --> 00:04:09,666
It's just a marker
that sits on top of your clip.
84
00:04:09,666 --> 00:04:12,418
And at any time
you can simply double click on the marker
85
00:04:12,418 --> 00:04:14,379
and click remove marker.
86
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:17,131
Now, one last thing I want to mention
is that we can see
87
00:04:17,131 --> 00:04:20,593
whenever I create
these annotations on my clip over here,
88
00:04:20,802 --> 00:04:23,680
new markers
in the timeline are being made.
89
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,973
But we can also see that
90
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:27,976
the clip in the media pool
now has this little arrow next to it.
91
00:04:28,142 --> 00:04:29,352
If we click on that arrow, it's
92
00:04:29,352 --> 00:04:31,896
going to show the markers
that were created for that clip.
93
00:04:31,896 --> 00:04:36,025
This is very useful because we can simply
just click on the marker here
94
00:04:36,192 --> 00:04:38,778
and it'll jump to that point
in that timeline.
95
00:04:38,778 --> 00:04:40,863
So marker one, marker two.
96
00:04:40,863 --> 00:04:44,409
So this is really awesome
because I can go up to the annotation
97
00:04:44,409 --> 00:04:47,412
marker up here
and change the name to something else.
98
00:04:47,537 --> 00:04:51,040
So let's say I wanted to communicate
something to another editor.
99
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,004
Let's say add VFX here.
100
00:04:56,045 --> 00:04:56,379
Now we
101
00:04:56,379 --> 00:04:59,924
can see that that marker annotation
underneath the clip,
102
00:05:00,174 --> 00:05:03,886
it shows what I'm trying to communicate
right away so myself
103
00:05:03,886 --> 00:05:05,555
or another editor can click that dropdown.
104
00:05:05,555 --> 00:05:08,224
They can see what it is
that I'm trying to communicate here
105
00:05:08,224 --> 00:05:13,104
and just double click to access
that part of the timeline right away.
106
00:05:13,187 --> 00:05:16,524
This is really awesome because it makes it
a lot more efficient to direct
107
00:05:16,733 --> 00:05:19,235
the other person to the exact place
that you were trying
108
00:05:19,235 --> 00:05:22,238
to bring them and communicate
the information right away.
109
00:05:22,238 --> 00:05:25,366
And the last thing to note
is that these markers
110
00:05:25,366 --> 00:05:28,870
translate on every single
other tab in DaVinci as well.
111
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:31,956
So if you go to the edit tab here
and we check our media pool,
112
00:05:32,123 --> 00:05:35,084
we also have this same dropdown here.
113
00:05:35,084 --> 00:05:39,130
So we're able to view those annotations
on our clip as well.
114
00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:45,428
And if we drag our clip down into our
timeline, the same thing happens here too.
115
00:05:45,428 --> 00:05:49,891
We can see that those annotations
or markers are on our clip,
116
00:05:49,974 --> 00:05:54,103
and we're able to view what we created
with annotations in our timeline as well.
117
00:05:54,312 --> 00:05:58,691
And just like before, if at any moment we
no longer need any of these annotations,
118
00:05:58,691 --> 00:06:02,320
we can simply just select them
and hit delete.
119
00:06:02,403 --> 00:06:05,490
So that's annotations if you're not
already using them in your workflow,
120
00:06:05,490 --> 00:06:06,699
I highly recommend that you do
121
00:06:06,699 --> 00:06:09,577
so because it is a great way
to write down your ideas
122
00:06:09,577 --> 00:06:12,580
and just to communicate to yourself
and to other people overall.
123
00:06:12,705 --> 00:06:14,540
So that's it for this video
I hope you guys enjoyed.
124
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:15,750
I'll catch you in the next one.
