They have improved that dramatically in v20 that's in beta right now (pretty much just pick your microphone and press record), but previous to that, yes, it's stupidly complicated.

Thanks Cory! There will be more to come so I’ll keep posting them here as and when they get made

alternatively if you just want to post some screenshots we can try and figure it out over bluesky, whatever is easier

Well to be honest, you’re time was well spent because I think my main conclusion from making that video is you’re better off making mixing decisions manually because you’ll probably be fixing most of the changes the new AI tools make!

Thom Lyons @thomlyons.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

I decided to take a bit of a deep dive into some of the new AI Audio tools in DaVinci Resolve 20 to find out if audio engineers should be afraid for their jobs. The short answer is absolutely not! Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think. #PostSky youtu.be/zCqRt9FkTXk

When you save a custom preset it should be its own preset at the beginning of the list. If you click on custom again it will indeed go back to a blank custom one but scroll a little further left and you should find the one you saved

Can’t remember if you can download the srt natively through YouTube studio or if you will need to use a third party tool to grab it

010

Thom Lyons @thomlyons.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

If you upload the video to YouTube and keep it private they will auto generate captions for you that you could download an srt file for and then import into resolve to fix issues

Thom Lyons @thomlyons.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Might depend on which option you pick. Normalize turns the whole video up/down to try and get close to the loudness standard selected. Optimize will turn different parts up or down which will change your mix so I never use it. I get my mix as close as I can in fairlight and then normalize on export

000

Thom Lyons @thomlyons.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Can you still get access to the full version or did they end up patching it to just the cut and color pages? My mini color panel has a bad trackball so I’m replacing with the micro panel that fits an iPad in the back, so that might be fun to play with

Thom Lyons @thomlyons.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Yeah I’m only playing with it at home. I have a strict no beta rule at the office for everyone! Some pretty rad updates to this one though.

It will also be interesting to know how the upgrade charge would work. Like would it depend on how long you’ve had a license, so if you only paid a year ago for instance you wouldn’t have to pay?

Thom Lyons @thomlyons.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

Honestly shocked it's been free upgrades this long. The amount of insane upgrades in v20 I think justifies it
