It’s pretty easy to add an effect to a clip in DaVinci Resolve. But for flexibility, control, and easy presets, the adjustment clip is an essential tool.
It’s basically an empty clip you can drag into your timeline. But any effect you add to it gets applied to all clips below it on the timeline.
That makes it a quick way to affect multiple tracks at the same time.
And because it’s a clip in the timeline, you can easily adjust how long it lasts. So you’re free to add an effect to half a clip or 20 clips.
In this video from MrAlexTech, you’ll learn about:
