Jason Miller
I run DaVinci Resolve Club as an independent publication: hands-on edits, color grading breakdowns, Fairlight sessions, Fusion tests, and honest notes on where Resolve gets in the way. Jason Miller on XObject Removal works when the shot contains enough clean background to rebuild. Start by judging the plate, then track, analyze and inspect every frame.
Compound Clips in DaVinci Resolve: Create, Edit and Undo7 min readCompound clips are editable nested containers, not rendered media. Use them when one timeline object is useful and know how to get the original clips back.
DaVinci Resolve Frame Rate: Set Timeline FPS Correctly7 min readTimeline FPS, clip interpretation and export FPS are different decisions. Choose the outcome first, then change the correct setting.
DaVinci Resolve Transitions: Add, Trim and Fix Them7 min readA practical transition workflow built around the detail most tutorials skip: the unused source frames on both sides of the cut.
DaVinci Resolve Keeps Crashing? Find the Exact Trigger8 min readStop trying random crash fixes. Classify the failure, protect the project, reproduce one trigger and change one variable at a time.
DaVinci Resolve Won't Import MP4? Fix Audio-Only Clips8 min readAn MP4 extension does not identify the video inside it. Use this symptom-first workflow to separate codec trouble, damaged media and a simple V1 source-patching mistake.
Export Transparent Video in DaVinci Resolve (Alpha)8 min readTransparency survives only when the timeline contains real alpha, the selected format can store RGBA, and Export Alpha is enabled. This guide covers the correct render path, verification and the black-background traps.
Stabilize Video in DaVinci Resolve: Edit, Color & Fusion7 min readStart with the least destructive stabilizer, then escalate only when the shot needs controlled tracking. This guide explains every automatic mode, the crop-versus-smoothness tradeoff, and the point or plane you should track in Fusion.
DaVinci Resolve Color Management: RCM vs CST & LUT Order8 min readStop memorizing color-management presets and follow the signal instead. This guide compares RCM and CST workflows, explains DaVinci Wide Gamut/Intermediate, places LUTs by their real input and output, and diagnoses double transforms.
DaVinci Resolve Audio Ducking: Ducker, AI & Sidechain8 min readMake room for dialogue without riding the music fader through every sentence. This guide separates Ducker Track FX, bus-capable sidechain compression and Studio's AI Audio Assistant, then shows how to tune and troubleshoot each route.
DaVinci Resolve Subtitles: Create, Style, Import & Export8 min readBuild captions as a delivery workflow, not a last-minute text layer. Learn when to use a subtitle track, Studio transcription or Text+, then import, time, style, check and export captions without losing sync or readability.
DaVinci Resolve Multicam Editing: Sync to SmartSwitch9 min readBuild the multicam clip correctly before you start cutting. This guide shows how to choose a sync method, keep one clean audio source, switch or replace angles without breaking sync, and use Studio's SmartSwitch as a first pass rather than a finished edit.
