How To SLOW MOTION SPEED RAMP In DaVinci Resolve WITH AUDIO - In this DaVinci Resolve video editing tutorial video, Will teaches you how to do slow motion speed ramping which is a much more dynamic and professional way to introduce slow-motion clips and transitions into your edits.
In this quick video, I'm going to teach you how to do slow-motion speed ramping inside Da Vinci Resolve that will take your footage from looking like this to looking like this. And if you're new here, we have over 200 videography-related videos on the channel, so lots of content for you to learn from. And if you're interested in any of the equipment or the music we use to make our videos, all links are in the description.
All right, let's jump in. With Da Vinci Resolve open, I have my clip imported into the media pool. We're going to drag it down into our timeline, and then we'll just scrub through to see what we're working with. So right as the skateboarder starts to do the trick, that's where we're going to start our speed ramp, and then it'll end just before the skateboard lands so that it goes back to normal speed for the sound of the land.
Okay, so that's the idea. Let's get started. First thing we do is right-click the clip, go to Retime Controls, and then once again, we'll right-click and go to Retime Curve. This will open up this area just below the clip. Then we'll go to the part where it says Retime Speed, we'll show the dropdown menu, we will take off the part where it says Retime Frame. That will leave us with just this straight line. I think this will be a good spot for the first speed ramp, so we'll go to the 100% dropdown menu here, and we will press on Add Speed Point. And then we will go just before the trick is landed, and we will add one more.
You'll notice that if we play back this part, nothing has changed. And that's because we haven't actually made any speed changes yet. We've just sort of set up the start and end to adjust the speed of this section. We will go to the top here and drag this out. And now when we play back, you'll notice that at this spot right here, it instantly goes into slow motion, and then on this second point, it instantly goes back to real-time. That looks good, and we have accomplished our goal of slow motion, but we haven't done any speed ramping yet.
Speed ramping looks a lot more dynamic and professional. Basically, it means it slowly changes from your normal speed into your slow motion over a certain period of time instead of just instantly changing like we have right here. So let's go down and click on the line that will reveal these little points here so we can click on them. And then we're going to change it from the straight line here to the curved, and then we'll do the same to the other side.
Now, the default setting is technically being speed ramped right now, and it'll be a lot smoother than what we had before. But I would always suggest grabbing these little handles at the end and stretching it out. So you click on the other one, and you can do the same here. Now, we'll watch it back, and you'll see that it's a lot more dynamic with the transition between the regular speed and the slow-down speed. And that's represented here with these curves.
And then from there, if you need to make any micro adjustments like you want to change where the slow motion starts, let's say you want it to start here, you can just go to the bottom here, drag over that, and then you are good to go. Or let's say at the end here, you don't want it to speed ramp as much. You can put that back to straight and really exaggerate that. It's a pretty powerful tool. And as you may have noticed, it automatically adjusts your audio. Currently, in Premiere Pro, you cannot do this. You have to use After Effects if you want it to affect your audio. So props to Da Vinci Resolve for making this a feature. It's done really well.
I love the ease of use of speed ramping in this program and how it automatically adjusts the audio. If you check out here, you'll see that as we adjust this curve, it changes just that portion of the audio. All right, I hope this video was helpful to you on how to speed ramp footage in Da Vinci Resolve with audio. Again, this is a much more dynamic way to make your slow-motion clips look more professional by ramping the slow motion instead of just having a straight cut into the slow motion.
That's it for this video on how to do slow-motion speed ramping in Da Vinci Resolve. I hope it was helpful.
