Ballerina mid-leap in a beam of light, above a timeline with the middle clip selected and a Render in Place window set to QuickTime, Apple ProRes 422 HQ and 24 frames of handles Oct 12, 2026 · 12 min read How to Use Render in Place in DaVinci Resolve Render in Place turns one heavy clip on the Edit page timeline into a new media file with its effects baked in. Here are the settings, the codec to choose, what the final export uses, how Decompose to Original brings the clip back and what to check when it fails. Violinist in red light and cellist in blue light side by side in one frame, above cello.mov on V2 over violin.mov on V1 and Video Collage set to Create Tile, 2 columns, 1 row Oct 11, 2026 · 12 min read How to Make a Split Screen in DaVinci Resolve Video Collage builds a split screen in the free version of DaVinci Resolve: one effect per clip, a layout copied with Paste Attributes and a tile picked for each clip. For two clips side by side, Crop and Position in the Inspector are enough. Beekeeper lifting a honeycomb frame into the evening sun, above a clip list where hive_walk.webm shows 0 audio channels and hive_walk.mp4 shows 2, next to its stereo waveform Oct 10, 2026 · 10 min read DaVinci Resolve and WebM: Import, Fix No Audio, Export DaVinci Resolve 21.1 reads WebM only when the video is VP8. Copy VP9 or AV1 video into an MP4 with ffmpeg and convert the Opus audio, and it imports. For WebM delivery, render a master and convert it, transparent overlays included. Four skydivers holding hands in free fall above golden clouds, over a timeline where a title, a video clip and a music clip, each with a link icon, are selected beside a Link Clips menu Oct 9, 2026 · 9 min read How to Group Clips in DaVinci Resolve Select the clips and press Option-Command-L (Clip > Link Clips) so they move as one while Linked Selection is on. Plus when a compound clip, an adjustment clip or a Color page group is the better kind of group, and how to ungroup without losing each clip's audio link. Singer shouting into a stage microphone under blue and magenta lights, above a timeline where a short clip on A2, with Echo on the track, rings out past its end beside the Echo window Oct 8, 2026 · 10 min read How to Add Echo and Reverb in DaVinci Resolve Drag the Echo Fairlight FX from Effects Library > Audio FX onto the clip, then set Delay Time, Feedback and Dry/Wet in the Inspector. Plus reverb, echo on one word, and the fix for tails that cut off at the clip end. Surfer in a coral wetsuit carrying a longboard on a rocky beach, above a timeline where the audio under four clips on A1 and A2 is selected and Linked Selection is off Oct 6, 2026 · 9 min read How to Delete Audio from Multiple Clips in DaVinci Resolve Turn off Linked Selection, select only the audio with a selection box, Command-click or Y, then press Delete (Backspace on Windows). The picture stays put. Plus ranges, whole tracks, and keeping audio out of the timeline in the first place. Wet tram street at blue hour with a woman in a mustard raincoat, beside a Color page Effects panel where Halation is selected under a North Pier FX plugin header Oct 6, 2026 · 9 min read DaVinci Resolve OpenFX Directory: Where OFX Plugins Install OFX plugins go in /Library/OFX/Plugins on a Mac and C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins on Windows.

Hot-air balloon over a red-rock canyon at sunrise above a Fusion node tree, where a BalloonKey group opened to show DeltaKeyer1, MatteControl1 and Transform1 feeds Merge1 Oct 6, 2026 · 9 min read How to Group Nodes in DaVinci Resolve Fusion Select the nodes, press Ctrl+G (Cmd+G), then open, collapse, rename, save or ungroup the group. Plus underlays, macros and the Color page's compound nodes. Color-grading monitor with a city film frame and an empty DCTL controls area Sep 28, 2026 · 6 min read DCTL Not Showing in DaVinci Resolve: Missing Files and Blank Controls If the DCTL effect is missing, check for Resolve Studio.

Violinist under warm stage lights with HDR DELIVERY text and Rec.2020 ST.2084 output controls Sep 28, 2026 · 7 min read HDR Delivery from DaVinci Resolve: PQ, HLG and SDR Versions Choose PQ or HLG for the actual destination, keep the timeline grading space stable, verify the rendered HDR file, and review a separate SDR output. Sony S-Log3 color grading with a flat inset and a balanced red-jacket portrait Sep 28, 2026 · 9 min read Sony S-Log3 in DaVinci Resolve: Input, Exposure and Color Match Sony S-Gamut3.Cine or S-Gamut3 to S-Log3, normalize once with RCM or CST, then balance exposure and color before adding a look. Waitress carrying coffee in a night diner, above Balance and Film Look nodes and a Film Look Creator panel with three blend sliders and Halation, Bloom and Grain ticked Sep 24, 2026 · 6 min read DaVinci Resolve Film Look Creator: A Practical Workflow and Its Limits Build a film-inspired grade with Film Look Creator in Resolve Studio.
