DaVinci Resolve 12.5 is\u00a0a non-linear-editing powerhouse. Streamline your workflow with these quick tips.<\/h2>\n

Keeping up with new application releases\u00a0takes time. Ultimately, this is\u00a0why many simply keep using the same version year-in and year-out.\u00a0It\u2019s familiar, and you’re already proficient with it. After all, being able to work quickly can make or break a job.<\/p>\n

Here are a few quick tips to bring you up to speed with the features in DaVinci Resolve 12.5<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Favorites Folder<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do you have a set of elements or sound effects that you use often, but there are just so many that importing the entire folder<\/strong> would be too process heavy? If so, look at setting up a favorites folder. Very simply, while on the media page, navigate to the designated folder in the volume list, right-click, and select Add Folder to Favorites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Speed<\/a><\/p>\n

Now you can very easily bypass the hierarchy of your folder database and jump straight into your elements\/media folder to import the selected files<\/strong> when you need them.<\/p>\n

Sync Your Audio in the Media Pool<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Forget the days when you had to sync your audio with\u00a0a separate program or plug-in \u2014 or even by hand. You can do this quickly in the media pool<\/strong> with just a few simple steps.<\/p>\n

Ctrl-select your clip and audio file, right-click with both highlighted, and select the sync options<\/strong> you need.<\/p>\n

\"Speed<\/a><\/p>\n

If your footage and audio have the same timecode metadata, choose Auto-Sync Based on Timecode<\/strong>. If you shot with a DSLR and have onboard sound with your video footage, you can choose Auto-Sync Based on Waveform<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Resolve does an incredibly great job of auto-syncing whether you use the timecode or waveform method. You can also select Auto-Sync Based on Timecode<\/strong> and append tracks, which will add the synchronized audio to any timelines that include the footage. If you find that your clip is playing back the recorded sound and the camera sound, follow these steps to remove the camera sound.<\/p>\n
