All right, so we've got a pretty decent

cut of our video now.

We've got music. Our video is paced decently well,

our next step is gonna be to add in some visuals, some

of the B roll, because

for the entire video we are looking at one camera

angle and one perspective.

It is just me looking right at you in the camera.

So let's add in some visual to add a little variety to, uh,

helps kind of smooth things along on the spectacle

of the edit over the story of the edit.

When we're talking about what really matters the most,

at the end of the day, it's the

message being told in the video.

Now what kind of effects you can include.

So I think right in here when I'm talking about

not focusing on the spectacle

and instead focusing on the message of the story,

we can introduce some B

roll, probably right here on this cut.

So again, that's right in here.

Editors make is that they focus on the spectacle

of the edit over the story

of the edit when we're talking about what, yeah,

I think right in here we can introduce some B roll.

So up in our media pool, I'm gonna locate the B roll folder,

which is under our video folder.

I'm gonna click here and I've given us five

videos that we can use.

Wow. So how do we know what to use and uh, where to put it?

Well, again, there's a few ways

that we can go about doing this.

We can always just individually preview our video

by double clicking on it,

and then we can kind of sort through

and familiarize ourselves with what's been going on.

So it looks like we got some snow footage here.

And I think my intent with this was to show you guys

that in our main working section, I'm talking about

how it's more important to show the story over spectacle.

And so what I'd like to do is make a little mini story

of the skiers in here and the mountains

and this imagery as opposed to this first video up top here

where I've just got some random moving snowboards.

Now here's a cool little trick

and workflow technique that I'd like you guys

to get in the hang of.

So as is, I am much more familiar

with the footage than you guys because I picked it out.

So if you're somebody who's been given a bunch of footage,

it's gonna be pretty slow to individually click

through everything to preview

what the heck is going on in here.

So as always, there's a few techniques to do this,

but one of the most straightforward ways is to do this drag

and select all of your footage in the media pull.

Or you can hit control A to select everything in your uh,

B roll folder or your B roll bin, excuse me, right click.

And the very top option for me says,

create new timeline using selected clips.

Now, before I click that, remember what is a timeline?

Well, we've been working on our main timeline.

We've got one timeline right now.

Well, in good old Da Vinci Resolve, we can create

multiple timelines to be working with

multiple things all at once.

So if I, again, if I drag

and select this footage, right click, create new timeline,

using selected clips, we can create a new timeline.

And remember how we set up our project settings

Over here? Well, now

again, everything's all set up so we don't need

to go uncheck this and double check to make sure format

and all that is all set up.

We just use our project settings

and I'm gonna rename this new timeline.

We'll just keep it simple for now.

B roll or be underscore roll.

Hey, create. Now,

earlier on I turned on this tabbed option over here so

that I can see both my main timeline and my B-roll timeline.

If you don't have that,

or you would like to now toggle this on,

remember it's this little icon up over top here.

Click that and you want display stacked timelines.

That'll let you toggle between our main timeline

and our B-roll timeline.

And now if I hit S to zoom out, we can see all

of our footage at a glance.

Very cool, very cool, very cool.

So I'm gonna tie it up our media pull really quick.

Uh, 'cause we have a timeline folder.

Remember, this is where our main timeline is at.

So in the B-roll folder, it generates our timeline,

which is indicated by this little, it's pretty small,

but it's this little, uh,

timeline icon in the bottom left corner.

I'm gonna take that and drag

and put it in our timelines bin.

So now when I click the timelines folder, I can see both

of our working timelines here.

So I'm gonna toggle over to the main timeline, hit play.

'cause I'm trying to remember where

we wanted to insert some footage.

Hey, let's talk about some editing mistakes

that a lot of beginners make.

So a mistake that a lot of beginning editors make is

that they focus on the spectacle

of the edit over the story of the edit.

When we're talking right here, I think I want

to introduce some other video right here.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna bring my playhead here,

click anywhere in the empty space,

make sure footage is not selected,

and I'm gonna hit the M key.

And what that does is it adds a marker on our timeline here

so that we can remember where to put our footage so

that way you don't have to, you don't have

to have perfect memorization skills

if you don't want to use M.

There's always the marker icon up

above here in our little editing toolbar.

So let's find something that seems like it might fit.

We're looking for something that doesn't have spectacle.

We're looking for something that might have a story

behind it, maybe some character where my head goes are

to these two skier clips right in here.

So I think what I'd like to do is take this clip

and bring it over into our main timeline.

And now can you guess what I'm about to say?

There's a few ways that we can do this.

What I will say in the wrong way to do this is this,

clicking on this clip, hitting control C to copy it,

going back to the main timeline

and then pasting it on the marker.

That is going to overwrite everything

that we've already laid out

because we're pasting it here on the first track.

So how do we not do that? Well, let me hit control Z.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna show you

how I would do this

and then introduce different methods

that might fit your own workflow for me.

Uh, what I would probably do is this.

I would drag it up one track

and one more track, so

that way it's already on the third track.

I would hit control C to copy it over to the main timeline,

hit control V to paste,

and it's gonna paste it here on our third track.

So now we have our footage separated ready to go.

Alternatively, what I might do,

so I'm gonna hit backspace here to delete that,

is I would look to bring it in from our media pool.

Now depending on the, the amount of footage you have,

it might be easy to find this footage

or it might be difficult if you're struggling

to find this clip, well,

what you can do is on your B roll timeline,

click the footage that you'd like to locate,

make sure your playhead is over that footage.

And then if you're using my keyboard shortcuts,

we would hit Alt F.

You'll see it highlights it here in our media pool.

And now what I can do, if I go back

to my main timeline here, now that I know

where my footage is at, I would drag it on

down into the timeline.

So those two methods are commonly what I do.

Let me show you a couple other options

that might make a little bit more sense to you.

Lemme hit backspace here.

So again, what I did is I brought this up to the track

that I'd like it to be on.

Hit control C and then control V to paste it here.

Or I would locate, locate it in my media pool

and then drag and insert it down.

Now if you don't want to bring it up to a third track,

every time you want to copy

and paste something from one timeline

to another, what you can do is this.

And this is kind of a fun one.

In the upper right hand corner of our timeline, uh,

working area, there's this little plus icon right here.

See it, it's got a little plus with the window pane.

If I click that, whoa,

it splits our timeline viewer into two timeline viewers.

Now, this might be a little advanced,

but what we can do is close our B roll timeline there

and open it down here.

And if I use shift in the scroll wheel to shrink things

and reposition my timelines so that I can see both,

well now I have two working timelines

at the same time.

This is a very powerful technique.

You will probably need to have an okay computer in order

to do this, but now what I can do is instead of tapping

between the two, I can just click this one clip hit control

C, click up to this timeline and again, hit control V.

But again, remember that I brought this up to track three so

that it pasted over on track three,

hit control Z to undo that.

And you can actually split your timeline workspace into

as many time lenses as you want.

I would, I'd probably caution doing over more than two.

And if you would like to close a certain window,

again over in the right over here, there's an X icon Now so

that I can close that if I'd like to reopen

that B-roll timeline, well, I just need to go

to my timelines folder

and open up the B roll timeline.

And there we go. Shift in the scroll wheel

to expand these back out so

that it's a little bit more visible.

Let me go back to the main timeline here.

Now the last option, and this is more

of a professional technique,

but I'd like to show you just so that you're aware of it, go

to my B-roll folder here, find that B skier,

two footage that I'd like to use.

And there's a set of icons over here in our editing toolbar

that are designed to insert footage from our media pool.

So we've got this first one here that says insert clip,

overwrite and replace clip.

We're gonna avoid using the replace clip for now,

but if I were to look at these first two, insert

and overwrite, if I were to click this footage here

and then click the insert option, you can see

that it inserts it where my playhead was at.

So again, CTRL Z to undo C, control shift Z to redo,

see how it inserts and shifts everything around.

If I were to click this other button here, overwrite clip,

well, instead of inserting it

and shifting everything around,

it completely squashes everything underneath it.

So how do we make this button work so

that it goes over here on track three?

Well, let me hit Control Z. Done do that.

Over here on our video tracks, we've got a few icons,

just like the audio tracks when we covered there.

All the way over to the left,

there's this little blue V one icon.

Now, depending on what version

of Da Vinci resolve you're on,

this might look a little bit different.

If you're on an older version, it might be a red rectangled

outlined V one, but wherever this lives is

where my footage gets inserted when I

click, click that icon.

So if I bring it up to video track three

and hit the overwrite button,

now our video gets inserted on track three.

If you choose to do this, you just need to be conscious of

where this button lives.

But now we have our B roll

and we can begin to add the rest of our footage

to fill out this talking head portion.
