Lesson 6

Refining a Timeline

The real artistry of editing is achieved in the
pacing of the clips you assembled in the
timeline. Pacing is refined by shortening or
extending clips by a few seconds or even
just a few frames to get the perfect timing
between the two.

The edit page in DaVinci Resolve includes
many of the same precision trimming tools
that you learned in the Cut page plus a
number of unique techniques you can use
to address your creative needs. In this
lesson, you’ll learn how multiple trimming
methods can help you pace your
program perfectly.
