Understanding how to use the compound
could feature in Da

Vinci is crucial because it can enable you
to do so much more within the program.

I can group multiple pieces of media
in my timeline and shoot that group

or compounded clip as one piece of media.

So if I want to apply an effect
to multiple clips or change

the speed, I can very easily
do so by making a compounded clip.

So really quick, let me show you guys
exactly how to make a new compound a clip

before
I give you some more examples of how

and why
I would use this feature in my workflow.

So in my timeline,
I can select whatever clips I want.

You can see that
I have this little sequence right here.

So let's select all these clips
and let's right click.

And you can see up here we have this
option new compound clip or command e.

I pretty much always just use a shortcut.

I never right
click and select from this menu.

And this is something that I don't use
that often.

But compounding your clips
is something that I use pretty often.

So in Ravenclaw that's Command E
and we get the new compound

clip window in here,
we can name the new compound equip.

So let's call this one sequence

one. We can click enter.

Now what I'm used to in both Premiere
Pro and Final cut is just double clicking

on the compounded clip,

and it would allow me to enter
into that compound of clip the timeline

in there and see all the individual clips
that we use to make the compound equip.

But individually,
it's a little bit different.

What we're going to want to do is either
right click and select, open in timeline,

or if you have the Raven clock
keyboard shortcut layout installed,

you can simply just press command shift E
and it will now

bring you into that compound
eclipse timeline.

So in here we're able to see all the clips
inside the compound eclipse.

This is basically the timeline
within the compound clip.

So we can make any changes
that we want in this timeline

and it will update
in the original compounded clip here.

So let's just go into some of these clips.

Maybe let's just add an effect

to one of the clips here
so we can go to our effects library.

This is just for an example.

We can drag any effect here.

So let's just find something
that's mirrors here

and we can see that
this clip has now been mirrored.

And if we go back to our original timeline
and we scrub through to that part,

we can see that we have now updated
the original compound clip.

So anything that we are going to do
within the compound,

a clip will update back into the timeline
here.

So a lot of the time,
if I'm trying to work on a more complex

little sequence
or effect within my timeline,

what I'll do is simply
just make it its own compounded clip.

And then that way
I can just enter the compound of clip and,

you know, make more layers, stock
more clips in here,

go more in-depth with my effects
in the compounded clip.

So that way, it's not taking up
as much tracks in my main timeline.

And just to

keep my main timeline a little bit cleaner
so things aren't all over the place.

So now let's say that I want to bring
my original clips back into the timeline.

I no longer want them in the compounding
clip.

I want them back in my main timeline.

What I was used to doing in Premiere Pro
was going into the compounded clip here.

I'd have to copy everything,
Command C, go back to my original

timeline and then paste it in there.

Command V Just like that.

And then I would have to, you know,
bring those clips back to where

I want them in my original timeline.

But thankfully, DaVinci
gives us a much easier way to do this.

It's called decomposing.

You compounded clips, and I'm gonna show
you guys exactly how to do that.

So let's just delete these clips over here

and we can select our compounding clip.

And if we right click on it,
we can choose Decompose in place.

If we press that, it will bring back
everything that is in the compound.

It clip back into this timeline.

Now we can see that all of these shortcuts
are a variation of the E key.

So we have command E
which allows us to compound the clip

and then we have

command shift
E to enter the compounded clip.

And then lastly, we have option or alt

shift E to decompose in place.

We designed all of the compound
clips, shortcuts

around the letter E just to make it
a little bit easier to remember.

So that's command E command shift E
and then option or alt shift e.

So those are three shortcuts.

I would highly recommend that you memorize
and implement into your workflow.

So now that we understand
how to create a new compound

clip, how to enter the compound, equip
and how to decompose in place.

Let me show you guys a couple of real
world examples of how I would use this.

So as you can see here,
we have this same sequence.

Now, let's say that I wanted to animate
the speed of these clips

in the timeline here.

But, you know, treat them as one clip.

Now, if I wanted to just change the speed
of all of these clips at once,

what I could do is, you know, select
one of the clips

are change it to 40%.

And then what I could do

is command C, select
everything else, command

shift V and I can apply the re time

effects to all the clips

and we can see that
we've re timed all the clips.

But what if we wanted to play
with the re time curve

of all of these clips
and treat them as though it's one clip?

So what I would do is

grab all the clips,
turn them into a new compound clip,

click enter.

And now in here we can go into the curve.

Editor So that's shift C
and we can select the dropdown select re

time speed, and now we can start playing
with the speed of the clip

just like this.

So we are essentially playing

with this sequence of clips
now as though it's just one clip.

We can also apply
it in effect to this clip and obviously

it'll apply it to all the clips
within the compounded clip.

So let's choose a different effect here.

Grab this abstraction one, for example,

and we can see that that effect has now
been applied to every single clip

inside of our compounded clip.

And just like any other piece of media
in your timeline,

you can go into the inspector here
and change any of the properties

just like you would be able to
on any other individual clip.

We can access the effects here as well.

We can see the effect
that we've added to the compound clip

and we can turn it off or delete it.

So in this timeline, I was actually
experimenting with another transition.

I have this one
clip of the drone coming close

to this wave, and I managed to kind of

splice it together with

this other shot of some other waves and
just like the mist rolling on the waves.

So pretty simple.

It's just like a little mask
in opacity fade

because both of these clips start

and end off in white.

It was easy to make
that kind of transition happen.

So this little transition
is a perfect example of where

I would want to compound something
in my timeline so that I can play

with the real time speed of this sequence
and treat it as though it's one clip.

So here, if I playback in real time,

I feel like the motion could be speed
ramped a bit more

so that it just feels a bit more seamless.

And that actual transition
part of the clip doesn't

stay in frame for as long.

So what I'll do is just select
both of these clips, hit command E,

turn it into a new compound clip, and now
I can shift C show the curve editor.

I can start changing the re

time speed so I can kind of ramp
this section right here.

So it's not as slow and it doesn't give
the viewer as much time to

figure out what's going on.

It'll just happen a bit faster.

And at this point,
I'll just add another keyframe here.

Slow it back down.

So now it's just that area,

that transition period
that's being sped up

and then it goes
back to the original speed here.

So I want to show you guys

one last example of where compounding
clips can be very helpful.

So I have this clip in my timeline here.

It's of this wave.

Now, let's say that I want to add
some graphics over top of this.

So one example that people use
a lot is subscribe button, right?

So a lot of people are going to be
throwing a graphic like this over

top of their videos for YouTube
and whatnot.

Now we can see that
there is a moment where the mouse click

the button so we can add a sound effect

to that moment in time
so that when we play it back,

it actually
sounds like the mouse click the button.

And now let's say that we wanted to add

this subscribe button
in different places around a timeline.

Now, instead of having to,
you know, copy both the the graphic

and the audio together each time
and dealing with that, what we can do

is select both of these pieces of media
and compound them, command e

make them a new compound clip
so we can just call this subscribe.

And now

both of those pieces of media
are treated as one clip.

Now, the reason
they're not both being selected right now

is because we have length
selection turned off.

So if we press G or this button right here

now, we are able to select
both of those pieces of media

and treat them
as though they are one clip.

So that's pretty awesome.

And we can move the subscribe graphic and
sound effect overtop of any footage now.

And of course, we can go into this
compound or clip at any time

command shift E and we can make changes
to this graphic here, too.

So let's say just for fun,
we wanted to add something else to this.

We wanted to add like a lightning bolt.

For some reason,
we could go back to our original timeline.

And the way to go

back to your original timeline is to just
look down here in the bottom corner.

We can see that
all selects is our route timeline.

And this compound of clip
is just one of the compound clips.

Within that timeline,
we can double click there

and it'll bring us back
to our original timeline.

Now, in here,
we can see that that little lightning

graphic
has also been added to this as well.

And just like before,

we can move this graphic anywhere
in our timeline that we want.

So this is very, very helpful.

We can enter the compound in clip
at any point, make changes in there.

It'll update in our main timeline
and we can just click and drag this,

put it anywhere that we want
on the timeline.

We can hold all in drag
to make copies of it,

put it in different places,
super, super useful.

So that's pretty much it.

You guys have seen how I use compound
clips in my workflow to do things

that would normally be much harder
and time consuming to achieve.

Compound clips are extremely important
to me as an editor

and I highly recommend
that you take the time

to experiment yourself
and get familiar with this feature.

But that's it for this video.
I hope you guys learned something new.

I hope you enjoyed it.
I'll catch you in the next.
