The Fairlight audio page in Resolve has very sophisticated audio recording capability. But it certainly isn’t intuitive. In this short video, Larry Jordan shows how to record audio narration in Resolve.
In spite of our best efforts, all too often we have audio that has problems: too much noise or hum. In this short video, Larry Jordan shows how to use Resolve’s audio effects to fix both those problems.
The Røde Podcaster Pro II is a beautiful machine, damaged by poor documentation, led astray by poorly-trained and over-stretched technical support, and done in by inadequate attention to audio levels; especially regarding live streaming – for which it was originally designed. It is fine as the front-end to a DAW, but very expensive to use just for that purpose.
I am delighted to announce that NAB has invited me to conduct interviews with some of the leading companies at the NAB Show in New York City October 9 & 10. Here’s how to find them quickly on my website.
By reader request, here are almost 100 essential keyboard shortcuts – in PDF form – for DaVinci Resolve 19. Feel free to download a copy for yourself.
When you hear “NAB Show” the first thought that comes to mind is: “What’s New?” The show is legendary for new products. Here’s what Larry Jordan considers the highlights for media creators of the new product announcements at NAB – New York 2024.
I was thinking about multicams this morning. I had just finished editing my DaVinci Resolve Multicam webinar, so multicam editing was on my mind. I was pondering the differences between multicam in the three NLEs I know the best – Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. It probably won’t surprise you that the answer is: “It depends…”
Your project is complete – except you need to burn captions into your video. This process is surprisingly easy in Apple Final Cut Pro – but darn hard to find. Here’s how to do it.
So, just how well does Resolve handle multicam clips? In this tutorial, Larry Jordan decided to see how many 4K video clips Resolve could play in real-time, while still streaming a live webinar, recording that webinar and processing all this media. The answer is pretty surprising.
When working with media clips with matching timecode, the Sync Bin will automatically sync them, then display all matching angles simultaneously. This is a really fast way to build a rough cut, especially with multichannel audio, as Larry Jordan demonstrates.
Captioneer is a Premiere Pro extension that creates animated captions directly in your timeline using .mogrt files which are easily modified by an editor. Here’s an interview with its developer: Nic Dean.
Sometimes, creating a custom effect can save you a lot of time – especially if you need to use it over and over. So, here’s an example of how to create a template in Motion, using a variety of useful Motion effects, that you can use directly in Apple Final Cut Pro. (I included both the movie and the Motion project.)

In this short video excerpt, Larry Jordan illustrates different ways to trim clips in the timeline. Larry demos both how to trim using keyboard shortcuts and the mouse.
Teaching DaVinci Resolve isn’t the same as using it. For the last three days I edited my weekly webinar in Resolve. This is the first time I’ve used it in years. Here are the highlights of what I learned.
“Ducking” is the process of lowering the audio level of background music or background sounds during dialog. Resolve has a blindingly fast way to do this automatically – without keyframes. It’s called “sidechaining.” Here’s how it works.
