DaVinci Resolve

DaVinci Resolve is a free video editor. Here are some useful shortcuts.

Navigation Commands

Up/Down Arrow = Move to next/previous clip.
L = Play (forward)
J = Play (reverse)
K = Stop

Cut Video

Ctrl + Shift + [ = left ripple trim
Ctrl + Shift + ] = right ripple trim
Ctrl + b = split video (blade tool)

Time line

Alt + Mouse Scroll Wheel = zoom in/out the timeline.
Shift + z = timeline fit in the screen

To convert video into Davinci Resolve supported format using ffmpeg, run

ffmpeg -i FILE.mp4 -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec libmp3lame -f mov FILE.mov

Or

ffmpeg -i FILE.mp4  -c:v libxvid -force_key_frames "expr:gte(t,n_forced*1)" -r ntsc-film -b:v 250000k -c:a pcm_s16le FILE.mov

When I converted a 66 MB mp4 video using the above FFmpeg command, the resulting file size was 1.1 GB

Convert audio

ffmpeg -i FILE.ogg -c:a pcm_s16le FILE.wav
