How to Sync Audio Tracks Automatically in Resolve Using Fairlight

Posted: 27 Aug 2021 04:15 PM PDT

Managing external audio can be tricky, with even the most seasoned pros occasionally getting lost. Whether it's the lack of easily read file names, or the large volume of clips you have to manage, figuring out which clips match can really bog you down. Thankfully that's a thing of the past! In this tutorial we'll go over the amazing Auto Sync Audio tool in DaVinci's Fairlight that makes matching your sources a breeze.

Freelancer editing a video using post production software

Auto Sync That Audio

The Auto Sync feature kind of feels like magic, though it works by analyzing either the .wav form or timecode stamp as a reference. In this tutorial we'll be using the .wav as an example, and editing using Resolve 17.

You can select all your files in your media pool and with two clicks, the program will attach and sync the files for you. Let's cover synching two files together first to get things started.

How to Auto Sync Single Clips

There are two ways you can do this: on and off the timeline. They're pretty much identical other than being able to visually see the sync when on the timeline.

From Media Pool (off the timeline)

Select the two clips that have matching audio, for example your scratch track from the camera and the replacement audio made with a better, closer microphone. Right-click, select Auto Sync Audio - Based on Waveform. Then listen back to hear that the audio has been swapped out.

Auto Sync Pathway

From Timeline

This is the same process as synching from the media pool. With your video and replacement audio on the timeline highlighted, right-click and select Auto Sync Audio. You'll see you clips visually line up perfectly.

Checking The Work

If you'd like to check the status of your video clip in relation to the audio, it's understandable. You can do this by checking the clips attributes. 

Select the clip in question, right-click and open Clip Attributes. Select Audio in the header, and under Source Channel you'll  see Embedded Channel (original audio) or Linked Channel (linked with replacement audio).Using the drop down menu in Source Channel you can toggle back and forth the audio you'd like to use.

Clip Attributes, Audio

Synching All Clips From Media Pool

To do this, select all of the clips in the media pool and follow the same steps as you did to sync a single clip. You'll likely run into a tiny hiccup, an error message telling you that Auto Sync Failed. This is because you likely have video clips with no matching audio. This is likely the B Roll or Audio Field Recordings you captured. Click Ok, and inspect any clip in the media pool using the Check The Work method. You'll see that your audio source is now Linked Media.

That's It!

Thanks for checking out this tutorial and learning a great Davinci Resolve tool that will help you quickly and easily synch up your audio. If you'd like to learn more, here are a few more tutorials that will further your editing journey.

12 Best TED Talks of All Time (For Business Leaders in 2021)

Posted: 27 Aug 2021 06:35 AM PDT

If you're in business management or just want to learn more about business, there are many helpful business presentations online that you can learn from. One of the best sources of educational, motivational, and informational presentations for business professionals is TED Talks.

You may be wondering: what are TED Talks?

TED Talks are a series of short talks on a variety of topics that are free to listeners. They are known for attracting excellent speakers with innovative ideas. Actual TED Talks differ from regular business presentations because each speaker must give their presentation from memory and they are limited to 18 minutes. TED Talks are also a good resource to study if you're trying to improve your speaking skills.

These short, online presentations include such business-relevant topics as leadership, management, business strategy, and more. There are talks to inform, talks to inspire, and talks to entertain.

In this article, I'm sharing a collection of 12 of what I believe to be the best TED Talks for business leaders and other business professionals.

12 Best Business TED Talks

Here's a carefully curated collection of what are, in my opinion, some of the best TED Talks of all time for you to learn from. For your convenience, I've separated the TED Talks into four main areas:

  1. Business Leadership
  2. Informative
  3. Inspiring
  4. Business Strategy

To learn even more about running a successful business, you may want to review these tutorials:

Now, let's take a look at the TED Talks for each area separately:

1. Business TED Talks on Leadership

Leadership is an important part of doing business. Here are some of the best TED Talks on leadership. Use these talks to improve your own leadership skills.

Simon Sinek started out in advertising, but has since written several best-selling books on leadership. In this TED talk, Sinek explores why some companies and individuals are successful and others are not.

In the talk, Sinek explains how successful people and organizations are different based on how they focus on the questions: what, how, and why. Hint: most people have the wrong focus when they try to promote products or ideas. Learn about that difference in this eye-opening talk.

Roselinde Torres: What It Takes to Be a Great Leader

This business TED Talk by Roselinde Torres explains why companies are failing to produce leaders. In her work as a management consultant, Torres has observed leaders in hundreds of corporate leaders and companies of all types for over 25 years.

In this TED Talk video, Torres points out that the world is now more global, more digital, and more connected than ever. As a result, traditional leadership development is no longer effective. This TED Talk explains how to develop leaders in today's world and identifies the questions you need to be asking as a business leader in the 21st century.

David Logan is an author and teacher. Logan has spent over ten years studying tribes, which are naturally occurring groups that occur anytime humans get together.

This is a must-see talk for the thoughtful leader who wants to understand and improve their workplace culture.

2. Business TED Talks That Inform

Knowledge is power, or the so the saying goes. As a business professional, the saying is certainly true. It's important to be informed if you want to run a good business.

Susan Cain: The Power Of Introverts

As a leader, are you overlooking introverts? According to Susan Cain, you probably are. Cain is a speaker and the author of the popular book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking.

In this TED Talk, Cain explains what it's like to be an introvert. Cain also builds a compelling case for the contributions that introverts make--including the contributions of many introverts who later became famous. The bottom line: if you're overlooking introverts, you're missing out. Learn why in this informative talk.

Angela Lee Duckworth: The Power of Passion and Perseverance

Angela Duckworth teaches psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. Duckworth is also the Founder and CEO of Character Lab, a non-profit dedicated to the science of character development.

While teaching school Duckworth made a shocking discovery that talent and IQ aren't the best predictors of success. Rather, success seems to be determined by a character trait Duckworth calls "grit." Learn more about what "grit" is and the difference it makes in this fascinating talk.

Kelly McGonigal: How to Make Stress Your Friend

If you're a business person, you've probably experienced stress. That's a bad thing, right? Not necessarily. Kelly McGonigal is a psychologist who studies stress and how it affects us. McGonigal lectures at Stanford University and has written several popular books about stress.

Silhouette fonts are like most fonts on your computer. You use them within Silhouette Studio to create and cut your designs. The beauty of this is that you can just manually install new system fonts to access custom content for your designs. Make sure your fonts are TTF or OTF file types. These are the most common file types, although you can also use SVG files.

5 Quick Website Design Tips

Now that you've seen all the different templates for Joomla, it's time to choose one. You'll then be able to customize the template to match your needs. Here are five quick website design tips to keep in mind as you're working on your site:

1. Less Is More

Semantic templateSemantic templateSemantic template

When it comes to your website, less is more. Keep your paragraphs short and avoid wall to wall text as most website visitors tend to skim through the content. The premium Sematic template is a great example how you can use minimal text to deliver a powerful message with all the necessary details.

2. Focus on Your Target Audience

Your website isn't really about you. It's about your ideal target audience. Focus on what's in it for them and how working with you will improve their life. 

3. Make Your CTA Buttons Stand Out

Make your call to action buttons stand out from the rest of the website. You can easily do this by using a contrasting or a bright color. The premium Syrius template uses yellow for their buttons and calls to action to make them more noticeable.

4. Check Your Site on Mobile

With more than half of all internet traffic coming from mobile, it's important that your website looks good on mobile devices. Be sure to check it on a smartphone and tablet and don't forget to test buttons and forms to make sure they're easy to use on smaller screens. 

5. Use Creative Section Dividers

Head on over to our Envato Tuts+ YouTube channel to follow along with this article:

What Is a PDF Document?

A PDF is a free open standard file format. PDF stands for Portable Document Format. PDFs are usually created in a primary application of the user's choice—Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Word, etc.—and then converted to the PDF file format. This preserves the fonts, images, and layout of the source document exactly as it was created and allows the creator to share it electronically so that the document can be viewed and printed on any device, independent of operating system or software.

As PDFs don't rely on the software that created them, nor on any specific digital device or operating system, they look the same no matter what device they're opened on.

PDF documents can contain text, images, links, interactive buttons, form fields, audio, video, and more. They can be signed electronically, and PDFs can also be edited if they're not protected by using programs like Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word, Sejda PDF Editor, etc. 

How to Create a PDF

Creating a PDF is relatively simple. In programs like Microsoft Word and Apple Pages, after you create your document, you go to File > Print > Save to PDF. And in programs like Adobe InDesign, you to File > Export > Format > Adobe PDF.
