You can create sophisticated variable speed motion effects using the Retime controls and Retime graph on the Edit Page. Method 5: Variable-rate slow motion on the Edit page (retime effect)ĭo you want a ‘slow-motion ramp’ effect, where the clip plays normally and then smoothly slows down (and maybe speeds back up again? Then you’re looking for DaVinci Resolve’s ‘retime’ controls. If you do not enable ‘Ripple Sequence’ then the duration of the clip stays the same and the slow-motion effect starts from the first frame of the clip. The entire timeline after the clip will be pushed back to make room for the longer duration of the slow-motion clip. Ripple Sequence: Do you want to slow down the speed of your clip but keep the current first and last frame of the clip, making the clip longer? Then enable the ‘Ripple Sequence’ checkbox.Reverse Speed: If you want the clip to play at normal speed but in reverse, this checkbox automatically reverses playback of the clip.

This command is also found in the ‘Clip’ menu and by default, DaVinci Resolve assigns a Freeze Frame keyboard shortcut. Freeze Frame: For an instant freeze frame, pause on the frame you want to freeze, open the ‘Change Clip Speed’ menu and choose the checkbox for ‘Freeze Frame’.

You may also hover your mouse over the Speed/Frames Per Second text boxes and click-drag to the left/right to increase or decrease the playback speed of the clip. 100% speed is the base frames per second (FPS) of the clip, displaying the default FPS and duration of the clip.You can directly input numbers into the text boxes.

Speed / Frames per second / Duration: These three inputs interactively affect each other.

This opens the ‘Change Clip Speed’ menu offering a variety of options not available on the Cut page:.

The ‘Change Clip Speed’ menu on the Edit Page provides access to a variety of additional options not available on the Cut Page.Įither right-click on a shot in the timeline or highlight the clip in the timeline and select from the ‘Clip’ menu the command ‘Change Clip Speed’. This workflow is for setting a constant speed slow motion in the Cut page. Method 3: Setting a constant frame rate slow motion on the Cut Pageĭid your record your shot at ‘normal‘ speed but now want to slow it down in the timeline? This is the most basic form of the slow-motion effect, where you set a single frame rate for the length of the shot.

Either drag the clip from the source window onto the record window and select ‘Fit to Fill’ from the graphical menu or use the Edit > Fit to Fill menu command.

Enter an In / Out point in the Timeline for the duration you want to ‘fit’ the source footage into.

On the Edit page, enter both an In / Out point on the source footage.

If you want to ‘fit’ a short clip into a longer duration (or if you want to ‘fit’ a longer duration shot into a short duration) on your timeline then ‘Fit to Fill’ is the classic editing command you want to use. Method 2: Using the ‘Fit to Fill’ command to set a constant frame rate speed effect (on the Edit Page)ĭrag from the Source window and drop the image onto the ‘Fit to Fill’ command in the Record viewer on the Edit page. It’s best to make this change before you start editing the shot into a timeline.

Note: If the clip is already edited into a Timeline, this modification may adversely affect that instance of the clip and you may need to replace that shot in the timeline, each time the clip appears.

Press ‘OK’ and your clip will now always playback at the new frame rate.

From the ‘Video’ tab use the ‘Frame Rate’ pull-down to choose your desired frame rate.

In the Media Pool, Cut Page, or Edit Page, right-click on the clip in a bin and choose ‘Clip Attributes…”.

The ‘slow motion’ workflows in DaVinci Resolve (from simplest to most advanced) are: Method 1: Directly setting a clip’s frame-per-second playback rate using ‘Clip Attributes’ĭid you record your shot at a high frame rate (say, 120 frames per second) but want to override the clip’s playback rate to 24 frames per second so it always plays in slow motion?

The software will duplicate or recreate the missing frames, creating a slow-motion effect. If you recorded at 24 frames per second (fps), you would change the playback rate of your shot to 23 fps or slower. All slow-motion effects rely on changing the frame rate of the shot to something slower than the frame rate of the camera recording.
