How to Join 2 or More Clips in Davinci Resolve 16 – 2019

hi in this video are going to join two

or more video clips in DaVinci Resolve

16 welcome to sharing your passion comm

I'm chill and let's get it on

alrighty so here we are in DaVinci

resolves edit tab or edit mode so of

course everybody by now knows how to cut

or split a video clip so this is one big

video clip right here I use control B to

cut and position another section here

control B another cut control B control

D or you can even use control what is

that backs and backslash the item has to

be highlighted okay controlled backslash

and ctrl backslash so I either way for

example we want to get rid of some of

our speech like our thumbs or the

silences or strange noises pets barking

in the background or certain things in

the image you want to edit out normally

you just select the clip and I hit

delete and it moves everything together

that's a ripple delete and I can remove

another piece here make some more cuts

control B control B so after a while you

have your ideal cuts and this is what

you want to roll with okay so why would

you want to join Clips together

well one big example that I needed to

join Clips together is if you're going

to take your all these cuts and apply

some kind of transform and video

transform like a zoom position or any of

these rotation angle anchor point pitch

yaw flip and all these other ones if you

apply it to one clip you're going to

have to set that same exact thing for

the next clip in the next clip in the

next it's going to be

mess so it's a save time if you're going

to apply a video change you want to join

all these together again so that one

change will affect a whole clip so for

example if I want to zoom here I'll drag

this to the right to zoom in and then

I'll position it to where I want so for

example if I want to make these changes

carry over to the other Clips I'm going

to have to do it individually per clip

because when I click here it's back to

the default settings over here it's back

to the default settings but over here

where I made a change it has my changed

settings but it's only for that one clip

so if you want all these clips to have

that same zoom and position and any

other changes you made here you're going

to have to apply that to every single

one of them and that's a real pain and

you know where but the best solution is

if we join all these together and treat

it as one big clip then any changes we

make here will be applied to the entire

clip so let's join all of these right

now so click here the first clip and

click wherever you want to end this with

a shift and click the end one so it

selects all of that when you do a shift

click it will select everything

in-between

the first click and your last click so

that's one of those tips to select

multiple Clips just select your first

clip and shift and click the end clip

and it will select everything in between

ok intuitively I thought to join these

clips you just go over here to Timeline

and join Clips alt backslash but that

does nothing I don't know what that

thing does and I don't have time to look

at it but what will

these actually is if you right-click

anywhere on the selected clips

right-click it brings up this menu and

the very first one and it doesn't sound

so you know it doesn't sound like you're

joining it but it says new compound clip

they should have just renamed that to

join clips so if you click that then it

asks you to rename this set of clips

we'll just keep that name create and

there you go we now have one big

continuous clip so whatever changes you

make here now whether it's a zoom or a

position or any of these will be applied

to the entire clip you don't have to

copy all these attributes to each clip

so that's one big reason for knowing how

to join Clips I hope you found this

useful and if so please give the video a
