All language subtitles for R18_01_Updates

Welcome back.

In this lesson, we're going to be talking
about resolve 18,

which at this point
this is still in public beta.

But we want to update you guys
with the very latest

version of the software
in this Lifetime training course.

So there are a few new things in Resolve
18 that are worth noting.

But the bottom line here is that
things have not changed

that much as far as like 90% of what
you're going to do in this program.

Everything that we go over in this course,
anything that was recorded in resolve

17 is going to work
pretty much exactly the same.

In fact,
the interface hasn't really changed.

There aren't any panels
that have really moved around.

So if you're a little bit nervous
about learning resolve 17

because resolve 18 has come out,
it's really exactly the same.

If you know how to do something in resolve
17, you know how to do it in 18.

With all that said, I'll go

over a couple of my favorite new features
here in the lower right hand corner.

If we open up our project manager,
we have our projects and everything.

But the one difference is up here
we have local network and cloud.

These are a three different ways of kind
of storing your database of projects here.

The first one is local.

This is kind of what you would normally be

used to just keeping your projects
on your computer.

The next one is Network,
which has actually been in resolve

for a really long time.

This is a way that we can create projects
to share over our local network.

You have to set up a server

and kind of do a bunch of nerdy things,
but you can share projects together

and everybody works on the same project
on your kind of local network.

It's really slick,
but you do have to know a little bit

about setting up servers
and things like that.

Similar to that is the cloud

and really

how this works is very similar
to the network thing.

It's just that
you don't have to set up your own server.

You have to have a black magic
cloud account, which is free,

and once you've signed
in, you can connect to any library,

which is like a database, a big group
of projects that you have access to.

If you want to make your own library,

it is $5 a month.

You can sign up for that on the Black
Magic website.

Here we have our our library right here

and I can say create project library
and make a new one.

And you have to pay $5 a month
for each library.

Now, each library
can have basically unlimited projects

if you're just using this
for like you and your friend,

you just pay $5 a month for this library
and your friend can connect to it for free

and you guys can put as many projects
here as you want.

If you want to do something
like invite a client to only look

at some of your projects,
you would have to make a separate library

and give them access to that library
so that you can kind of control

what projects
they can get to you and stuff like that.

But the cloud is a really cool
new feature and resolve,

and we'll add a little overview of how
the cloud works here in this training.

But normally

I'm just going to switch back to local.

So that's one thing.

As far as the edit

and the cut pages and the media page,
there's not really anything new.

One thing that is nice with fusion
is they have

done a little bit of work
to make the text effect and shape effects

render a lot faster, and so it's a lot
easier to play things back.

You can make kind of some simple animated
graphics and put them on your edit page

and you don't have to render them
each time.

That's super nice.

There's some nice just kind of quality
of life improvements for Fairlight.

One of them being you can click on this AQ

or the dynamics to enable or disable them.

You can also right click and copy
either the dynamics or the AQ

and paste them into other channel
strips, which is super nice.

The other thing

that's nice is
you can go up to your index here

and I can grab my tracks
and move them around here

and the index, I can also grab my busses

and move those around
in between my tracks like this

so that I can,
you know, have a sound effects bus and put

that right next to my sound effects tracks
to kind of group things together better.

That's pretty nice.

And there are also a couple of effects
in the color page that are really cool.

The only thing is that they're only
available for the paid version of resolve.

If we go up to effects,

we have one called depth map.

And if we drag this on to a
note here in the color page,

it will actually figure out

how far away things are from the camera

and it will color code them as anything
that's closer is white

and anything that's farther away,
it goes back into black

kind of thing to affect depth of field
and make selections.

We'll have a lesson on this later
in the training.

The other thing
that's really nice is our object tracker,

which is down here in the middle palettes
under the magic mask palette.

This again is only available in the studio
version, so the paid version of resolve.

But the big idea is you scribble
on what you want to select

and it can kind of magically

just select it perfectly for you

and you can track it back and forth.

And now we have an isolated selection
of just our actor here,

and we can color correct him

separately from the rest of the shot.

Really impressive stuff.

Again, we'll have a lesson on this later
here in the training.

But really, for the most part,
a lot of the update here

is the cloud stuff, those effects
and a lot of just little optimizations.

So things run
faster, things move in a smoother way.

They don't take up as much resources.

It's a lot of stuff like that.

And as new features come out and resolve,
we're going to be updating this training.

But again, a lot of these lessons
are recorded on Resolve 17

and there's almost no difference
between resolve 17 and 18 at the moment.

Thanks again so much for getting this
training and happy learning.
