I'm Alexis Van Hurkman and welcome to Resolve
in a rush where you'll learn DaVinci Resolve
grading and finishing techniques in under 5 minutes.
In this lesson, we're going to see how you
can use the Dynamic Zoom controls in the Edit
page to quickly create push ins or pull outs
in your timeline.
So, in this particular sequence of clips, I've
got this clip right here it's the first clip
of sequence and what I'd really like to do
is to pull out from a close up of his face,
an extreme close up of his face.
So, what I can do now in DaVinci Resolve 12.5,
is I can select this clip, I can open up the
inspector, and I'm going to pull all of this
off to the side to get myself a little bit
more room.
And if I scroll down, I now have a Dynamic
Zoom area of the inspector.
If I turn this on, I get the automatic Dynamic
Zoom that Resolve always creates.
Now if I want to see the Dynamic Zoom control
so I can adjust the Dynamic Zoom, I have to
go down here to this little pop up in the
lower lefthand corner of the timeline viewer
and choose the Dynamic Zoom controls, which
I can then turn on or off.
So with these controls on, I have a green
box that lets me adjust the start point of
that shot so if I want to frame really tight
on his face I can do so.
And then a red box which, I'm just going to
hide the media pool altogether.
A red box that lets me see the end point of
this move.
So if I turn these controls off, I can actually
see the move in action.
There's my pull out that goes all the way
out by the time I cut.
Now if I want to customize this a little bit,
I do have a few options, I can go to Dynamic
Zoom and I can choose to ease in, ease out,
or ease in and out.
So if I choose that, this move starts slowly,
accelerates, and then coasts to a close.
I'm not sure I'm that wild about that ease
in, but I do like the ease out, so it's good
that I've got different options here.
And of course, if I decide I want to invert
this move, I can click the swap button.
And now, I'm pushing in, rather than pulling out.
But I like the way I had it before better.
And for those of you that are Final Cut X
users, you'll be happy to know that the Ken
Burns effect that you have in Final Cut X
will populate these dynamic zoom controls
if you export a Final Cut X XML into DaVinci
Resolve 12.5.
