Overview of this book

Micro content dominates social media marketing, but subpar editing and low-quality videos can shrink your audience. Elevate your social media game with DaVinci Resolve - the world’s most trusted name in color grading that has been used to grade Hollywood films, TV shows, and commercials. Version 18 enables you to edit, compose VFX, mix sound, and deliver videos for different platforms, including social media and the web. You’ll learn the basics of using DaVinci Resolve 18 to create video content, by first gaining an overview of creating a complete short video for social media distribution directly from within the “Cut” page. You’ll discover advanced editing, VFX composition, color grading, and sound editing techniques to enhance your content and fix common video content issues that occur while using consumer cameras or mobile phones. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to use DaVinci Resolve to edit, fix, finish, and publish short-form video content directly to social media sites such as YouTube, Twitter, and Vimeo.

Chapter 7, Stabilizing Shaky Footage

  1. False. Capturing stable footage is usually the better option as it saves time in post-production, and it will not lose resolution if stabilized in post-production.
  2. False. You can either use the Stabilize tool in the clip’s Toolbar, or the Stabilize controls in the Inspector.
  3. False. The stabilization controls in the Inspector are the same on both the Cut and Edit pages.
  4. True. There are the stabilization controls in the Tracker palette on the Color page, but you also have the option to use the Classic Stabilizer. Both allow you to select how you want your footage to be tracked and then stabilized.
