The media Pool is purely a database and deletions in it have no effect on your drive. (This bottom media pool is the same media pool in the other pages. The bottom (wide pane) is the actual media pool. Note on the Media Page the top pane on the left is actually a mini Finder window that looks directly to your drive. The free version of Resolve is resolution capped (I think at 4K, or less to deliver). Resolve is timeline resolution agnostic, so you can also edit 1080P at 720p without messing up your video, then when your ready, change your resolution to the full source resolution for Delivery ( rendering out). 1/2, or 1/4 will best match your screen resolution (remember the viewer is less than 1080p resolution). But for your needs on your mba your probably best of simply using “timeline proxies which lower the decoding resolution for ease of editing (still in your original codec). For higher quality proxies the process requires using resolve. The proxy generator unfortunately is limited in terms of ProRes proxy quality. In more demanding contexts ProRes is the preferred file type for editing on a Mac. (Complex effects, colour grading complex timelines). This file type was traditionally not an editing codec, and in some circumstances can cause issues. Because your m1 can hardware accelerate decoding. (Some experts say 35% empty is optimal).įor basic editing, one or 2 tracks your h.264, h.265 media is in effect a kind of proxy equivalent media type. That last 25% is critical to the performance of the Mac. The goal is to never ever fill your internal SSD beyond 75%. Or you will have the can’t delete system temp files issue. Make sure to only use apple’s Time Machine backup in manual mode. Suggest a 1 or 2TB Samsung T5, or T7, or a thunderbolt NVMe (my preference). To store your media and resolve cache on. iPad airplay extended display mode works quite well with resolve.Ī 13” MBA is kinda limited. If you have an external display, or an iPad you may be able to use dual display mode to see more of the interface at any one time. And you open and close different panes to access media, inspector etc. Resolve mostly has a fixed layout for each page. The edit page shares a layout and features common to most other professional editing software (except FCPx). (Big overlap, but utterly different mindset). The edit page is more intuitive for many users. When the app opens it opens in the Cut page. I suspect your layout issue is that your jumping between Resolve pages. Note each specialist Resolve Page has its own keyboard shortcuts as a result. Resolve is software that is more demanding to learn than the whole Microsoft office suite, because it is quite literally half a dozen professional applications bundled together. The training guides pointed to by Uli are far more accessible. To give you a feel but not always a blow by blow. The manual describes most aspects of Resolve. Here is a copy/paste to a new post.Īt the very least skim the manual (found in the Resolve Application folder). Now I'm hoping the new-user instructions for that will not be onerous.Īnd in this forum, I just discovered that I can save a draft and open it to edit, but cannot submit. My initial purpose is do color correction on my scuba dive videos. There is a Delete option that I discovered deletes not just the media pool entries, but deletes them from the source drive!!! Who thought that would be a good idea? I'm sooo glad I had a backup. The otherwise excellent new user videos make a lot of assumptions that the UI can't intuitively let the user figure out how to handle. I uninstalled and reinstalled but have not tried a UI reset again to avoid wasting more time. After the above I tried closing and reopening the app. I was initially able to drag files from Finder to the Media Pool. I tried grabbing its header bar to move it up. Worse, I could not find any way to move that panel. My view became completely different including moving the Master panel (if that's the right term here) to the bottom and other UI components were very different. At one point the instructor said he would select Reset UI Layout so that we see exactly what he sees. While watching one of the getting started videos on Youtube, I followed along. But DR's UI is, for me, very unintuitive. I am hoping that Davinci Resolve, with Generate Proxy Media, will not bog down so much with large videos. I had no trouble getting up to speed with iMovie for the last few years.
