Speaker 1: So the full release of DaVinci Resolve 19 has been out for a little over a week now, and with it has come some very intelligent and useful new features for editors. Honestly, there's never been a better time to jump into DaVinci, whether you have previous experience on other editing platforms or you're just a beginner. These new features that we're going to go over in this video make DaVinci Resolve, in my opinion, the best editing software on the planet. New feature number one is super scaling, and this one is super useful if you work with any footage of 1080p or HD stock footage, anything like that. You're going to be able to upscale it to 4K with just a click of a button, and it looks really good. Check this out, guys. So all you do, you go onto the edit page in your inspector and you go down all the way to the bottom is super scale. I want to turn that on and 2X enhance is going to be kind of like a 1440p kind of vibe, 2K. You go to 4X, that'll give you a 4K. You can leave it medium, medium. That's usually perfect. And you can see side by side the difference when you crop into someone's face and stuff like that. You retain a lot more detail. So that's really useful if you're working with any stock footage or anything that's shot in 1080p for whatever reason. You want to bring the sharpness up a little bit and bring that resolution up. Super scaling is the way to go. New feature number two is the film look creator, and this allows you to do color grading right from the inspector. All you got to do is slap an adjustment clip on top of your footage. Go over to open effects and scroll down to the new film look creator and drag that onto your adjustment clip. Now you can go ahead and it's going to default you to a 65 millimeter grain on top of your footage, which gives you that sort of film look. You can get rid of that and go to default. No effects if you don't want the grain. And you can use this as just your standard color grading. You don't have to view it as it's giving you film emulations. You can use those film emulations if you want, similar to a Fujifilm camera, which is down here in the film look section. But what you would do to just sort of do all your color grading from here is go to default, no effects, color space overrides and the input you want to choose your conversion. So if you have a black magic camera, you can use black magic, but you don't have to. You can mess with the ARRI. You can get an ARRI color conversion going on like this. And now you can go to your film look and you can mess with those different film emulations on top of that. And you can get basically quick cinematic looks right here from the inspector. You can also go down and do all of your exposure, contrast, highlights, fade, white balance, all right here from the inspector. And you can even go in and enable your grain, adjust it manually. All that bloom, vignette, it's all available now in the inspector. You don't have to be a pro with the color grading and the color page nodes and things like that. If you're used to Premiere and color grading there, this is going to be a much smoother transition for you. And you're going to feel like you can kind of accomplish everything you're used to being able to accomplish. Thanks to the new film look creator in DaVinci 19. Feature number three is auto captions. So now similar to Capco, we can do auto captions right here in DaVinci for social media, for vertical style reels and for horizontal videos, too. All you got to do is go up to the timeline. You want to create subtitles from audio. I recommend 12 characters per line. If you're doing vertical style, social media, Instagram, anything like that. 12 characters works out perfect for me and everything else. You can leave fine and boom, create. And as you can see, all these text files just popped up and we now have auto captions in DaVinci Resolve. We can move them. We can customize them. You want to customize the entire track as one. Make sure you go over here to track. Don't just mess with the individual caption itself. Go over to the track section. Now, when you adjust your font, when you change the boldness, the size, it's going to adjust across the entire track. Change color. You can add all your effects right here from the inspector and auto captions are now super easy and accessible in DaVinci Resolve 19. No more exporting your project and taking it over to Capco just to get the captions. New feature number four is the dialog separator. And unfortunately, I'm having a little trouble accessing this one. I don't know why. It's supposed to pop up right here under the dialog leveler. There's supposed to be something right underneath that that says dialog separator. And unfortunately, I don't see it. I'm on DaVinci Resolve 19, so don't understand what's going on here. If you guys have any idea, please let me know down in the comments. I'd really like to start using this, but I do know how to use it. And if you are not having this problem, you should see it pop up right here. All you want to do is click on it and then click on eliminate background noise, but leave the other two boxes unchecked. This is going to eliminate that traffic, that background white noise that you don't want, but it's going to maintain that natural feel to the person's voice. So don't just do vocal isolation by itself. Make sure you hop into the dialog separator and isolate the background. Just get rid of the background. It's going to sound much cleaner, much more professional. New feature number five is defocus background, and it might be the most practical feature that the most people are going to be excited about. All you got to do is hop over to the color page, guys, and you want to go over to the node right after you apply your LUT. So in this color grade here, I have all these nodes a bit confusing, but all you got to do is basically hop onto your last or second to last node for the most part, and you should be good to go. I'm going to hop onto node number four. All you want to do is hop over to effects here. You want to type in defocus and you should see a pop up defocus background. Drag it onto your node. And now we want to go on to mask here and make sure that you have the qualifier selected. If you do a little scribble on your subject, you guys can see it's defocus the background immediately as I did that. So I'll go undo and then redo. So you can see how it's blurring the background a little bit more than it was already. And if you want to fine tune your mask and really make sure it's properly around the shoulders, you can do a little something like that. And now all you have to do is press play and it's going to go through and it's going to track it. It's going to track your motion throughout the entire video. So no matter where you move around and stuff, the background is going to be really blurry. It's going to have that like portrait video mode effect on an iPhone or something like that. But it's much crisper and much more polished when you do it like this with a real camera. And no messing around with keyframes or anything like that. All the tracking and the motion is automatic. So super easy. And the sixth and final feature I want to share with you guys and tell the track allows you to track your subjects, add moving text and stuff like that at basically the click of a button. All you got to do is hop over to the Fusion page. You want to hit shift space and type in tracker at the tracker. Now you want to hop over here and tell the track one will be added by default. So you're good to go there. All you want to do is drag this guy over to your subject and hit this guy right here. Boom, track forward, then reverse. And as you guys can see, as I scrub through the timeline, the tracker stays right with the truck, no problem. And I didn't have to do any keyframing or anything scary like that. So thanks to these features and all the other ones that I didn't talk about in this video, I think DaVinci 19 is really the best editing platform in the world. It's easier than ever to transfer from any other platform like Premiere, CapCut, Final Cut, anything like that. DaVinci Resolve 19 is really beginner friendly. And there's so many different ways to do your color grading and effects now that you don't have to get involved with the Fusion page and all the scary nodes and things like that if you don't want to. DaVinci's UI is just so much cleaner than a lot of the other more professional platforms, more akin to something like CapCut, but way more professional and extensive than something like CapCut. So it really combines the two worlds really perfectly. And I think it's really just the best editing platform that anybody can choose for video work. You guys are new to the platform or you're coming from a different platform. I have a full guide breaking down DaVinci Resolve, how to use the edit and color pages. Those are the only two pages I mess with. And you can get your entire professional workflow done with just those two pages. And I show you how to do that in this video right here. So click on it, click on it.
