I don't know if this will speed up your workflow or not, but here are a couple things I do that are a little different than you:

1. When creating the timeline for the Shorts, on the tab to select Vertical Resolution, on the bottom there is a Mismatched Resolution section. If you set that to Scale Full Frame with Crop, then all the footage will automatically fill the Shorts frame. Then you can make adjustments from there.

2. You don't need to copy and paste footage from one timeline to the other, you can just drag from one to the other and it'll copy it over.

3. Instead of using keyframes to keep the shots on the target person, you can use Smart Reframe and either have it auto detect the person or you manually select the person you want it to follow.

Great video, dude! Helped me tremendously create shorts from my long forms.

This is exactly the video I needed to watch today. I'm in the middle of one of those kind of video projects that will use multiple aspect ratios. When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Thanks Jason!

This was awesome. Been getting into editing recently and wanted to know how shorts were done. Not only did I learn that but probably more than any other video so far. This was perfect and exactly what I was after and then some!

When you want to grab a section of a timeline, I would recommend setting an in and out point on the timeline, then copy. It automatically selects all clips (or portions thereof) vertically through the timeline. This makes sure all audio/video clips are selected (as long as you don't have a clip already selected, otherwise you only get that particular clip). The click and drag method can miss unlinked clips on deeper/higher layers.

I recently downloaded da vinci resolve 18 free version, and started searching YouTube like how it works, the tutorials, then I found your channel and I literally say it is Awesome. Thank You once again because I am searching for a good Video Editing Software for my YouTube Video Editing, but until last week I don't know that this very powerful Software ( Da Vinci ) is actually free 😅 and Yeah now I can also create Shorts from it. LOVE FROM INDIA ❤❤💙💙

Thank you for this information will be trying out later this week wish me luck

Thank you so much for this! I've been trying internet apps to make shorts but the quality is ATROCIOUS and finally wondered if i could just do it in Davinci. Your video was very helpful, I just wish at the end it had how to render the video - had to watch someone else's video to get that. Then i threw it into capcut for captions and voila! It's amazing. Thanks again!

Nice process and tricks for converting horizontal video to vertical video

Absolutely awesome. The ability to view two timelines at once makes the edit so much faster. Been using Davinci Resolve for a week and have learned a lot from videos like yours. Thank you.
