Forgot to explain... we hold SHIFT when moving the keyframes on the retime curve because it stops them moving up or down! Holding shift means they stay at the value you set them, but allows you to move them left and right :)

I know this one is 3 years old but for those of us just starting out, there's no better place to find the basics to the complex than right here. As always, thanks Alex.

Changing the composite mode to 'Darken' and put transparency to 75%. Looks a lot better!

Without this video, my first edit in Resolve would have taken approximately 13 years. Thanks brother 🙏

I've only had Resolve for a couple of months so there is so much to learn, but between us you are bringing me on one video at a time. Your videos get straight to the point and there is no time wasted.

This is by far the best channel on Resolve I've come across. Not only for the actual topic, but because the little icons and buttons are also explained, such as the smoothing of the motion of the highlighter effect.

Literally was searching for this a few days ago. In fact, came here to see if you had a video on it before.. Well here we are hahaha 🙏

Had to highlight agenda points in my video, your tutorial is plain fantastic. Learned from you how to do this in two minutes and it just works. You rock, sir!

[TheDominoesBros]

Oh my gosh your videos are soooo easy to understand and allow anyone to learn what they need to learn in a short period of time! Thanks, Alex, for doing what your doing! Keep it up 👍!

Genuinely the most useful tutorial on Davinci I've ever gotten. Wasted over an hour of my life on other videos, only yours works, thanks

[SquaresoftGurl]

Thanks so much for this nice little hack. I was just doing a fun video and didn't want to go through the hassle of downloading plugins etc. Works perfectly for what I wanted it for. Cheers!

this is BRILLIANT!!!! i just saw a tutorial on this on AE and it was so complicated. your method is a real time saver👏👏👏

[sofianeriagonzalez]

What a great video! I had seen this incredibly complicated animation tutorial to highlight texts... I almost gave up! Thank you for sharing!!! This was motivating!

[nmaoteh]

Thanks Alex, your tutorials are a big help in my video editing journey.

Great quick and dirty highlighting hack, thank you.

[cjnewbs]

Thanks man. I'm trying to make some programming tutorial videos and this is probably the simplest video i have found to do this. Found a load of videos on how to make shapes and stuff but they all 15-20 mins long and get complicated really quickly... This is just what I'm looking for 🙂

[albertoguerrero]

Thanks! This was very helpful, straight and to the point.
