I have another noob question about DaVinci Resolve work flow.
After a recent LoB I have about 200 "good" video files. I went through them and placed in and out markers.
Now, most if not all of them need further editing (stabilization, color correction, etc) which it seems that can't be done unless the clips get placed in a timeline.
The problem is that I want to create several timelines out of these files. For example I want:
- a short timeline/video with only (short) highlights,
- several individual clips to be shared with specific people in them,
- a timeline eg for macro,
- another for pelagics,
- a longer timeline/video with more or less everything (including all the above), etc
The logical way (to me) is to edit (stabilize, color correct etc) each clip individually and then merge the edited clips to create the timelines I want. But I can't figure out how to do this. Instead, DaVinci Resolve seems to want me first to create the timelines and then edit each clip in each timeline individually, which will result doing the same edits, on the same clips, several times!
Yes I know I can copy paste edits from one clip/timeline to another to make this faster, but there should be a neater way of doing this.
What am I missing?
Thanks a lot
