  • 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
