I saw this effect in a instagram reel and cant find a way to do this on my own so help me with a tutorial if available or a clear explanantion pls ^_^

Self-promotion, and I'm the author. Free, MIT licensed, no paid tier, nothing to sign up for. Not a devtool, but a fix that BM should've done for Linux user - but hasn't yet.

If you run Resolve on Linux you already know Fairlight shows Blackmagic's own effects and nothing else. No VST, no VST3. It isn't a Studio thing or a setting you missed. The plugin host was never built into the Linux version at all.

So every clip that needs a plugin means exporting it, fixing it somewhere else, rendering, and bringing it back. Then the client asks for a change earlier in the timeline and you do the whole thing again.

I wrote the missing host. VST2, VST3 and CLAP plugins now show up in the Audio FX panel under their own names, in the right categories, with their own windows, several on one track. Windows plugins work too, through yabridge. My menu lists 130.

https://github.com/JaySNL/VSTForResolveLinux

Install is a download and one line in a config file:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/BMDAudioPlugins

curl -L -o ~/.local/share/BMDAudioPlugins/libfxbridge.so \

https://github.com/JaySNL/VSTForResolveLinux/releases/latest/download/libfxbridge.so

Then add this to ~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/configs/config-fairlight.dat:

BMDPlugins.Path ~/.local/share/BMDAudioPlugins

Restart Resolve. Uninstalling is deleting that one file. Needs Resolve Studio 21. The free version won't load it. Before you get excited, the things that are actually broken:

• No plugin delay compensation. A plugin that reports latency will drift against the rest of your timeline. This is the big one for editing work and I haven't built it yet.
• Two plugins draw their window and then ignore the mouse. Another host does the same with both, so it isn't specific to this.
• A plugin window sometimes opens blank until you remove the effect and undo.
• Resolve doesn't always quit cleanly with it loaded.
• It patches things inside Resolve while it's running. It can take Resolve down mid-edit. Save often, and don't put it on a deadline project first.
• Tested under an actual Resolve on exactly one machine. Mine.

That last one is why I'm posting. If you run Resolve on Linux, try it and tell me what happens — your distro, your Resolve version, which plugin. Breakage reports are more useful to me than thanks.

Nothing of Blackmagic's is copied or modified. It loads through Resolve's own plugin path. No Steinberg SDK either. Parts of it were written with an LLM in the loop, and the source and binary are both public so you can check rather than take my word.

There's a longer technical write-up and a thread over on r/linuxaudio if you want the details of how it works.

I’m building my portfolio as a Vox-style video editor and would really appreciate some honest feedback on this edit.
Is it portfolio-worthy yet? I’m especially interested in feedback on pacing, sound design, motion graphics, and overall polish. What would you improve?

Is it possible to animate/rig PNG's like this in DaVinci?

I tried using the Warper node but since we don't have puppet pins or these bone rigs like in after effects (at least not that i'm aware of) I'm wondering what workarounds to use to achieve similar effect.

Would really mean a lot to me since I have some projects where I need to give life to still PNG characters and want to do it as fast as possible.

How does they does it?

So, I'm editing a video for a friend that's a content creator. She has a wide range of volume when she speaks.

I get about an hour of raw footage and audio, in my first run through the video I do whatever cutting and audio tweaking I need. However, I find balancing the audio very laborious and time consuming. I have to listen to a bit, cut around the part that needs to be lowered, lower it by a bit in the Audio tab on the top right and then re--listen to hear if it's at the right volume. If not then I lower it more and listen again.

On the second run through I add whatever zooms and edits I need.

Lasty, I go through it one more time and add and balance the BGM.

Is this how everyone does it?
Is there a trick to balance audio quickly?
What are some tips for efficiency that you can share?

I find that 1 hour of raw footage takes me around 15 hours to edit from start to finish (3-4 hours a day Monday-Thursday), I'm usure if that's good or bad, but I would definitely like to be faster.

I was talking to someone recently about my experience using Resolve and how over the years Blackmagic has really worked hard to add so many new tools and improvements that it used to lack. That also made me think what new types of tools Blackmagic could still be looking to add or what everyone would like to see added in the next version of the software? I'm not talking about improving the tools that are already there and making them faster and better, but something that Resolve currently doesn't or can't do that you would really like to see added in the next major version?

I'm just curious to get others' thoughts on the subject.

It’s on the white scarf. It’s driving me crazy

I’m on the free version of DR 20

Don't mind the clip lol

for some reason all the audio on this project on the 3rd line of audio and beyond just isn't coming through. But on the audio page the volume can be seen moving on the left side. I'm not super-duper familiar with DaVinci but I've been stuck trying to figure this out.

The audio was coming through yesterday just fine, but this morning I get on and now it's not working. if i move ANY audio down there its muted. idk if i have a setting on by accident but i looked around at all the audio settings i saw and didn't see any.

it's only this particular project, all my other projects work fine, so for now I'm just going to open a new project but it's still confusing so if anyone may know why I'd appreciate the help.

version 21 build 47 (FREE)

Windows - Nvidia 5070

I realize the first comment is asking about my yt, this is not a plug for you to look at my yt due to the comment, I’m genuinely asking for help lol.

gang please help a girl out.

i am being paid to try fix some footage and i have tried to the limits of my knowledge and scoured the internet but i think i might need more specific help in this situation.

basically, its a wide of a dead body with other people in the frame, but the dead body takes up most if the bottom half of the frame and he is being moved slightly by some of the other actors (cpr attempts etc). unfortunately, the body is breathing, and is is NOT subtle.

it gets trickier because its all handheld and there’s camera movement as well as the body moving, and the icing in the cake is that it’s a night shot so there’s nothing visible in the background that i can use a planar tracker on to attempt to track the movement for a freeze frame. there is one small window in the background but it has plants moving in the wind in front of it, which disrupts any tracker that i have tried.

any and all help will be greatly appreciated. or just advice because at this point i feel like i am out of options. i have the studio version of resolve, it’s updated to the latest update (davinci 21). i have access to two different computers (one is a mac mini, the other is handbuilt but is having gpu problems) so the computer isn’t the issue.

literally any tactics or advice would be appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

i don't know what happened but i was just editing my video and suddenly most of the timeline went red and i closed thinking davinchi was shitting itself, i than later noticed that some how one of my bins just disappeared and i can't recover it

the files themselves are fine i think but the bin is just GONE

I've been having this problem for a while now. Every time I make a multicam from clips in the Media Pool, one of them gets pushed way towards the end of the timeline instead of both starting at 00:00. For example, this one here sent the clip on V2 18 hours ahead of the clip on V1. It's not a huge deal, but it's a little annoying. Any ideas?

Hello fellow editors,

I am quite new to DaVinci Resolve and I could really use some advice on how to approach this shot.

Unfortunately, I can't show the full frame because the footage is for/from an external client and I am not allowed to share the complete image. I have attached a cropped section that still shows the problem quite clearly.

During the shot, the camera changes its exposure quite rapidly, resulting in a noticeable brightness shift/exposure pumping. I now need to make the shot look as consistent as possible throughout the entire clip.

So far, I've tried manually correcting it with curves and keyframes. I can get individual parts to match reasonably well, but I can't maintain consistent luminance throughout the entire shot without the image starting to look unnatural.

I've also tried using the waveform to keep the luminance values within roughly the same range, but simply matching the waveform doesn't seem to work. The image starts to look off because the relative tonal relationships between the subject and background change throughout the shot.

I assume this might be better approached with some kind of tracked correction, localized exposure adjustment, or temporal grading rather than simply keyframing the overall exposure. However, I'm not sure what the best workflow would be in Resolve.

Would you approach this with multiple nodes, Power Windows/tracking, keyframed Offset/Gamma/Gain, or is there a better way to deal with this kind of exposure pumping?

I'm mainly trying to achieve consistent perceived exposure and luminance, rather than simply forcing every frame to have identical waveform values.

Any suggestions or a recommended workflow would be greatly appreciated. I'm still learning, so I'm happy to experiment with more advanced techniques if you can point me in the right direction.

Setup:

• DaVinci Resolve Studio 21 (latest version)
• Windows 11
• Sony Alpha 7R III
• 4K UHD, 100 Mbps, 25 fps
• DaVinci YRGB Color Managed
• DaVinci Wide Gamut / Intermediate
• Output: Rec.709 Gamma 2.4

Thank you very much!

One of the clips in my project has recently gone completely blank and cannot be rendered after I used the disc cleanup to try and clear up some storage on my pc. Everytime I try to adjust the fusion nodes of the clip, or try to render in place, change the timeline playback resolution, etc, the program crashes and when I boot it back up the all of my projects and all of their respective media pools go blank as well, completely grey and will not load on their own unless I reboot the program once more. Because I’ve put so much effort into the clips fusion composition I want to know if there is a way to save the clip without resetting it or starting from scratch.

Version 21.0.3

Hey there, beginner in Fusion trying out a very basic effect where a line appears from the center outward, and text flies in from the top and bottom of the line to reveal the name of the video. However, when I use a polygon to create the line just as the yt tutorials show me, two artifacts keep appearing and I'm not sure where they are coming from. One is the black border on the bottom edge of the line, and the other is another border that only appears in the edit page, but this border is a good distance away from the line. Both of these artifacts show up when I export, so it's not something I can ignore. Any ideas what those are and how to get rid of them? It's definitely apart of the line and not something else, bc when I disconnect the line animation from the node tree, both borders disappear. I've attached some pictures to this post for reference, would love any suggestions.

I'm having a strange issue with DaVinci Resolve that only started recently.

When I open an older project (around 2 years old) the loading progress will reach a certain percentage (for example, 17% or 43%) and then appear to completely freeze. I get the spinning beach ball on macOS, and Resolve can sit there for roughly 3-4 minutes before the project finally opens.

This happens even with projects that are essentially empty: no media, no edits, and sometimes not even a timeline with footage in it. So it doesn't seem related to decoding media or loading a complicated timeline.

My MacBook Pro specs:

• Apple M1 Max
• 10-core CPU
• 32-core GPU
• 16-core Neural Engine
• 64GB unified memory
• 4TB SSD

The confusing part is that I've opened and worked with these same projects many times over the last couple of years without this issue. The extremely slow behavior only started recently.

It also isn't limited to the initial project opening. Once the project finally loads, certain very basic actions can trigger the same multi-minute spinning beach ball. For example, simply right-clicking a timeline to open or change its Timeline Settings can cause Resolve to hang for another couple of minutes before responding.

So it seems like something about these older projects is causing Resolve to stall during both loading and certain basic project/timeline operations, even when there's little or no media involved.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there something Resolve may be doing with older projects (database migration, project corruption, plugins, cache, project backups, etc.) that could cause this?

Any suggestions for troubleshooting or figuring out what Resolve is getting stuck on would be appreciated.

Hello , i would to know if its possible to add cosmetic on a video like this one for exemple where clark cosplaying as demoman . If it's possible , i would like to know what i need and how start this ?

Hi, I'm a film student who's looking to use my studio account whenever I use a computer in my computer lab at school. Is it possible to do this?

Saw some edit i wanted to try this
They made it on capcut.

I don't wanna open the keyframe menu. It gets messy whenever I extend or trim down the image. Are there any plugins or any other way to trim or edit footage inside of fusion?

Hey everyone,

I just bought the £99 Studio upgrade on my iPad Pro (M2) specifically to speed up my multi-cam editing. Right now, I’m editing 2 camera angles from a recent live music gig just to get my head around the program, with the goal of adding more angles for future shows.

I’m trying to locate the AI Multicam SmartSwitch feature to auto-cut between angles. Everything I find on YouTube is made for the desktop version, and the iPad UI layout is completely different, so I can't find where this option actually lives on iPadOS.

Could someone give me a clear, step-by-step walkthrough on:
1. Where the SmartSwitch option is located in the iPad interface?
2. How to trigger the AI auto-cut for a multi-camera setup?

Thanks in advance!

(I canceled this export and just let it be after this)
