Big Idea

The argument in one line.

DaVinci Resolve Studio's paid AI tools turn hours of manual creator chores, like finding clips, cleaning audio and reframing for vertical, into one-click jobs that run fast on a modern NVIDIA GPU.

Who This Is For

Read if. Skip if.

READ IF YOU ARE…

A YouTuber or short-form creator already on Resolve (free or Studio) who wants to know which Studio-only features are worth paying for.
An editor with a big media pool who loses time hunting for the right clip and wants search by object, face and slate.
A creator shooting 4K 422 10-bit footage who wants to know what GPU power actually buys inside Resolve.

SKIP IF…

You're on Premiere or Final Cut and not considering a switch to Resolve.
You want a deep tutorial on one feature; this is a fast survey of about 25 tools, each shown for under two minutes.

TL;DR

The full version, fast.

Resolve 21 Studio bundles a large set of AI features aimed at creators. IntelliSearch and the slate reader make footage searchable by object, face and clapperboard text. Audio tools cover subtitles, beat markers, stem remixing, music re-lengthing, voice isolation and dialogue separation. Visual tools include speed warp slow motion, magic mask, smart reframe, depth map, CineFocus, haze, noise reduction and super scale. The host also shows voice conversion, speech generation and face refinement, reshaper and age tools. Most run fast on an RTX 5080, which he says is where the sponsor's machine earns its keep.

Atomic Insights

Lines worth screenshotting.

IntelliSearch lets you type a word like 'cat' or 'car' and returns only the segment of each clip where that object appears, not the whole clip.
Face detection in Resolve groups faces into thumbnails you can name and merge, so searching your own name returns every clip you appear in.
The AI slate reader finds clapperboard moments in your footage and can read the scene, roll and clip numbers.
Export subtitles as 'files without formatting' when you plan to upload them to YouTube.
Beat detection drops markers on music so you can snap edits to the beat, but cutting on action is often the better choice.
The AI Music Editor's live trim re-lengthens a track to any duration and removes sections so it still sounds seamless.
AI voice isolation at 100 percent can sound heavy; dialing it down keeps a touch of room feel so the voice sits naturally.
Dialogue separator splits a track into voice, background and ambience, and you keep ambience because a dead-silent voice sounds weird.
Speed warp with optical flow set to AI speed warp can make 5 percent slow motion look like it was shot at a high frame rate.
Smart reframe lets you place a reference point on the subject you want, so it tracks that subject instead of the one it guessed.
CineFocus uses the depth map internally, so you can change focus point, aperture and depth of field after the shot.
Resolve's AI voice models need audio of the speaker to train, and you should confirm you hold the rights to that voice first.
Many AI features run in the background, so you can start voice training and keep editing.
On Studio, the NVIDIA RTX video mode adds 4X super scale for upscaling 720p footage onto a 4K timeline.

Takeaway

Where Resolve Studio's AI actually saves time

WHAT TO LEARN

The biggest wins are in finding footage, fixing audio and reframing, not in the flashy face and voice tools.

Analyze your media once for IntelliSearch and you can find any clip by object, face or slate text instead of scrubbing through bins.
Subtitles, beat markers and music re-lengthing take minutes to set up and remove repetitive timeline work on every video.
Voice isolation is best dialed down from 100 so the dialogue stays natural, and dialogue separator lets you keep ambience.
Speed warp, magic mask and smart reframe cover slow motion, subject isolation and vertical conversion, three jobs creators repeat constantly.
CineFocus, haze and relight rely on the depth map, so one analysis gives you control of focus and atmosphere after filming.
Voice training and speech generation are fine for fixing a flubbed word but are not a replacement for dedicated text-to-speech tools.
Heavy AI features are far more usable with a strong NVIDIA GPU, so hardware decides how real-time these tools feel.

DaVinci Resolve Studio is awesome for us creators. Because it's jam -packed with your essential features like noise reduction, ultra sharpening and super scaling, it's got some super clever, super smart AI features like magic masks and depth maps. You can turn yourself into a baby.

Plus it's just a bit faster, innit? for your day -to -day stuff, especially if you're shooting on a modern camera like this S5 Mark II that shoots in 422 10 -bit. So in this video, I'm going to whip you around some of my favorite features within DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Now, everything you're seeing within this video is being run on this machine right here, which was provided by NVIDIA and PC specialists who are sponsoring this very video. Now, this beast is running an Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus CPU with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, which can decode my 4K 422 10 -bit footage with no problems at all.

It's got tons of AI performance for all of those AI -accelerated features within DaVinci Resolve, and thanks to its dual encoders, we get super fast exports as well. Plus... It just looks cool.

And PC Specialists have done a cracking job of putting this thing together. It's been rigorously tested and the cable management is spot on. So if you fancy checking out PC Specialists' range of NVIDIA Studio Certified systems, simply click on the link down in the description below.

You can choose to go Team Blue or Team Red and then you can configure it as much as you like. Pick your case, change your processor, motherboard, GPU, RAM, whatever you fancy. And then you can use the code ALEX40 to get yourself 40 quid off.

Now, Nvidia and PC Specialists are not only sponsoring this video, but a couple more in the future. So definitely stick around if you want to see some deep dives on some of these here DaVinci Resolve Studio features. Right, let's jump into the first one.

In... IntelliSearch. This was a big one they added a few months ago in the 21, the main 21 release.

It's called IntelliSearch and it does exactly what it says on the tin. Intelligent search. So there's actually two different bits to this.

There's the main IntelliSearch with face detection and object detection, all that sort of stuff. And then there's also an AI slate reader thing. So one of these things, which is really satisfying.

Never done that before.

I like it. So there's two different ways to do this. You can either right -click on a bin within your media pool.

So I've got this slate one here. I right -click, then we go AI tools, and we've got IntelliSearch, analyze for search, or we've got analyze for slate, which will just do the slate. Now that will just work for this particular bin.

Alternatively, if you want to do it across all of the media within this entire project, you've got this icon up here. If you give that a click, it will pop up with this AI clip analysis and it's just going to do everything in one big go.

So we could have it do the audio classification, the transcriptions, analyze for slate and analyze for the IntelliSearch as well. Now, just for ease, I'm just going to do it within this little folder. So we're going to right click AI tools and let's just do the IntelliSearch for now and analyze for search.

Now, because I'm using this big, beefy Nvidia RTX 5080 GPU in this lovely PC from our friends over at PC Specialists, this is going to run really quick. Nearly 400 FPS, so there's 10 -15 minutes worth of footage in here. It's all 4K, and it's going to be done in...

well not very long at all actually so we'll let that finish and then i'll show you what it does so now that's all done what i can do is open up my little search bar by clicking on my magnifying glass and we've got the search options here i give that a click i can do visual search transcription search only i'm going to go with search all and then we can choose all the bins or just the selected bins all the clips or segments or whatever so i'm going to go with segments and i know that somewhere amongst here there's a little clip of a cat.

So I'm just going to type in cat and hit enter and it's going to search through all of those clips and it's going to find me the segment of those clips that have cats in them. So this here isn't even the entire clip. This is just the section of the clip which actually had a cat in it.

So I could change this back to full clips and it shows the full clip. If I change this to be car, which there's going to be quite a few of those, you can see here a car appears at the start of this one. Doesn't appear in the middle.

And then we have a car at the end, which is completely accurate. Now there's face detection built in as well. So if I click on this little dropdown, I can go to manage faces.

It's going to give me some thumbnails. And here's all the faces that it's picked up. It's done me dirty with that one there.

Look at that. But this here is me. So I'm going to put Alex.

That is also Alex. We can group these up. There you go.

Merge those. They're all me. So now when I click on Alex, It shows all the clips that contain my face.

Once that's done, I can go in here and just type Alex, and it's going to show me all the clips that contain me. And there's more you can do with this IntelliSearch, but that gives you a rough idea. And then the AI slate.

So very, very similar. On this folder, we're just going to right -click or bin. I call them folders.

Technically, they're bins. We're going to go AI search, analyze for slate. It's just going to go through.

It's going to basically do the same process. If we'd clicked on that do everything at once button, it would have done it all at once, of course. But this is just going to search all of those clips for any of those slates.

Right, now that's done. Let's just change this to be the list view. It's a little bit easier.

You can see these three clips. It's found that they have slates in them. And if I open them up, it's given us the set.

sections with the slates so I can just drop that on the timeline and there it is you can even go further and start analyzing the slate so it'll read the role of the scene and the clip numbers as well it's pretty snazzy right next up let's talk about some of the audio features that I particularly like these are dead easy and quick to run through and they're just they're just useful man And we'll kick things off with create subtitles from audio.

So this is really, really simple. I've got my timeline set up here and I've got some audio on there. I simply go to timeline at the very, very top.

We go to AI tools and we create subtitles from audio. You can leave the language as auto and you can change any of the other settings if you need to. And then you simply hit create.

If you do need some additional languages, by the way, you just need to tick this enable extended language support. You may need to do a download to download those extra languages and then it'll work for a bunch of additional languages. I'm just going to hit create and that's going to scrub through this 17 -ish minute timeline and it's just going to create a bunch of subtitles for us.

Which it's done. So you can see we've got a bunch of subtitles right at the top like so. Now you can start to customize these, jump into them, make some changes, or you can export them, which is generally what I use them for.

I come down here, right click on the subtitle track, export the subtitles. Make sure you change this to be subtitle files without formatting if you're doing this for YouTube. And then you can export those, upload them to YouTube and you're good to go.

Now, I've actually done a whole video talking about how this works and some of the additional customization that you can do. So I've linked that down below for you. Right.

Next up, the beat detector. Grab some audio, some music, whatever. Drop it on your timeline.

You probably want it to be music. That makes sense. Then right click and right at the bottom, show music beats.

Really quickly, it's just going to analyze that clip and then it's going to put your music beats on that clip on the timeline. And then you can snap. to them so that's done it it's figured out exactly what we need and now i've got these little markers so we can just edit to them if i start dropping clips on this timeline just like so We can then start snapping to those edit points, making sure that we edit exactly on the beat if we need to.

Remember, you don't always need to cut to the beat. It's a nice thing to have when you're trying to time things, but have a look at cutting off the beat. Have a little Google around at cutting to action instead.

There's loads of different ways that you can vary things up, but being able to have these little beat indicators. Super useful. Next up, we've got this one that hides over here.

It's the AI Music Remixer. So give your music a click on the timeline, open up the inspector, turn on the AI Music Remixer, and we get voice, drums, bass, other, and guitar. Now, this is really simple.

Again, you can mute the things you don't want, or you can individually adjust the volume of those separate things. So I'm just going to hit play on this track.

We have vocals. So if we didn't want those, we simply tick mute voice.

And now we no longer have vocals. Something else I use all the time is the music editor. This one's in the same place.

It's just a little bit further down. AI music editor. You can either click adjust, which I almost never use.

I always use the live trim. So you give live trim a tick and then you just re -length. Re -length, re -size, make this the size, the length that you like on the timeline, like so.

And immediately, what it's done is just cut bits of this track out to make it flow and make it feel like it should have been this exact length from the start. So now this will sound seamless.

You'd never know. Feels like magic. Next up, two super useful features which can save your audio if there's been loads of stuff, loads of noise going on in the background.

Now, the first one is the AI voice isolation. This one's actually a slightly older one. It's very, very simple.

If I just hit play on this clip here. They'll be there, probably. They might not be the drivers to start it.

It's actually... Pretty good, because we had microphones on, but you can hear some of that background noise. If we give that clip a click on the timeline, open up the inspector, toggle on the AI voice isolation, and you just get a very simple slider.

If I hit play now, we get zero background noise, because it's eliminated all of it. It quite often feels a bit heavy at 100, so I generally dial it right down, because I like a little bit of background noise. Something like that.

It just helps the voice to pull through. Now, if you've got a big timeline, you want to be able to do that sort of thing across basically all of the clips on the timeline. Simply click on your track down here.

So my audio one is where I want all of my dialogue. With that selected in the inspector, we could enable the AI voice isolation. Again, that's going to apply to the entire track.

But now we also have the AI dialogue separator. We open that up. It's basically just a more advanced version.

We've got voice. background and ambience, and then we can mute the voice, the background and the ambience. Ambience is your room tone, your room noise.

Generally, nothing's ever completely silent and just having a voice with nothing going on. It's kind of weird. So ambience helps to keep some of that in there, basically.

Right, next up, let's start talking about some of the cool effects that you can run only in DaVinci Resolve Studio. So let's start off with one of my favorites, which is speed warps. Now, speed warps are notoriously heavy.

They're running real time on this thing, which is super cool. And what speed warps essentially do is allow you to slow your footage down to get some really nice looking slow motion, even if you didn't shoot your footage at a high frame rate. So it uses the AI goodness to essentially fill in those missing frames.

And it's a really, really... cool feature so we've got this footage here of this smoke coming out of my pizza oven that i filmed so i'm going to open up the inspector we're going to come down to the speed change and let's just set this to be five we're going to go with five percent which is running at 1 .5 frames per second so if i hit play it's going to look super super janky because we're missing a ton of frames And then we're going to scroll down, retime and scaling, change the retime process to optical flow, and then the motion estimation to AI speed warp, either faster or better.

I'm going to go with better and then hit play. And we've got this really nice looking, buttery smooth, super duper slow motion. So all of these missing frames that we had before, it's filling them in.

So this smoke looks really quite real. This looks like it was filmed at high frame rate. And you can do some really cool stuff with this.

Next up, something which you probably all already know about because it's very, very popular, but it's well worth talking about because it's still really good. And that is the DaVinci Resolve Magic Mask. I know a lot of people that basically buy Studio purely because they want the Magic Masks.

Now, you've probably seen this running before, but let's just jump over to the color page. We've got our clip on this little menu right in the middle here. We click on this icon, which is the AI Magic Mask.

And then we can just... Give something a click, just like so, within the preview screen. It'll take a second.

If we click on this icon now, it will show us our overlay. We've got a bunch of options, faster, better. Let's just go with better so it does a slightly better job.

And then we can start tracking this forwards and backwards. And again, because I'm on this 5080, this is going to run really, really nicely, even on the better. actually real time because i think this is a 24 fps clip and you can see it's tracking this dog really really well once that's done we can turn off the overlay and then we could start grading if we wanted to and it's only going to apply to that thing that we've just tracked or if we right click over here within the nodes add an alpha output drag the blue to the blue and that will cut it out and then we've got this cut out of the dog in a jiffy very very cool feature now if you do loads of portrait vertical videos another really handy feature is the smart reframe now what this essentially does it just takes landscape footage find your subject and then just make sure that that subject stays within your portrait your vertical resolution your vertical video So we're using this same clip here and I actually want to track the other dog, the black and white dog.

So we've got my vertical timeline. I've got my clip in the inspector. We've got transform.

We've got AI smart reframe. And then we can simply hit reframe. And if we hit play, it's chosen this dog because it thinks that's what we want to follow and keep within our frame.

But what we can actually do is just change this little dropdown to be the smart reframe. And then we can put a reference point. over on this doggo instead.

And we say, this is the one we want to track. And then we can reframe and it's going to track that doggo instead and keep him within the center of our portrait video for as long as it can anyway, because I think he goes off the shot somewhere. But it's just really handy, really, really useful.

And then another classic is depth map, which, as you'd expect, maps the depth within the shot. And then you can do some pretty snazzy stuff with it. So I've got this shot here.

The first thing, let's just grab depth. map and drop this straight on here and we'll get a black and white kind of grayscale preview and everything that's brighter is closer to the screen and everything that gets further away goes from gray to black so you've built up this depth within the shot you can then come along and really mess with it and change all of the settings to really kind of get that granular depth dialed in now you can use this to kind of really isolate subjects so it's kind of an alternative to the magic mask Or, of course, you use it to build that depth up, so then you can apply certain things that will affect the foreground more than the background.

Now, a really great example of this is something they added afterwards called Cine Focus. So you don't actually need Depth Map applied, so let's get rid of that. Instead, let's just find the Cine Focus, and we'll drop Cine Focus on here.

Now, this does the same thing. It actually does use the depth map internally. And once again, you can come along and mess with this.

But this allows you to change the depth of focus and the aperture, basically giving you control of the focus to a degree in DaVinci Resolve. So I've got my open effects overlay turned on. And then all I can do is just click on the thing I want to be in focus.

Now, obviously, this shot was done with this background already blurred, so we can't bring that back. But if I put it on this lady's face right here, and then we can come along and mess around with the aperture size, the focus distance, and then the depth of field. So let's plonk it right there.

And then maybe just change the depth of field a little bit because we don't want it to be too blurred out. Something like that. There's a bunch of different settings within here so we can change the look of the outer focus, the bokeh area.

And we've just kind of made that look a little bit different. Whether it's nicer, that's up to you. But you can see what that does.

It gives you that additional control after the fact. And then there's another one which works in very much the same way, which is called cinematic haze, which allows you to put... haze in your shot so that once again sits within the effects library on the color page cinematic haze give it a click drop it on here once again this does have the depth map kind of included you can actually change that if you want to do the depth map separately but i'm just going to keep it as it is and then we get light rays air disturbance we can change all of this different haze amount do whatever we want to do and it's using that depth map once again to try and put the haze in the right place let me whiz through some of the other ones while we're still on the color page just real quickly showing you some of these additional bits So we've got the surface tracker.

You can drop that on here and you build yourself a little bit of a mesh like so. And then you track this and it's designed to track fabrics and stuff like that. And then you can pin things onto flags, onto clothing and do whatever else.

It builds up this mesh, which then gets tracked. Hence the name, the surface tracker. That one's pretty cool.

Another is analog damage. Now you can apply this either from the color page or you can also do this from the edit page. Let me just search for the analog damage.

We drop that on there and it includes clean VHS, 1960s black and white TV, old VHS, security camera, and then you go... and you get a bunch of different controls so you can come along and change how this looks. It's a fun one to use.

You probably won't use it all the time, but it's a nice one to have. You've got the relight tool, which allows you to put virtual lights within scenes. It's very similar to the depth map.

So as you can see, it builds up this little map. So when you attach lights and you do things, they kind of cast shadows really nicely. You've got the film look creator, which is there to kind of emulate film looks.

You've got a bunch of different presets built into this. You've got film looks, exposure, contrast, highlights, fade, white balance, tint. And then you've got things like split tones, vignettes, halation, bloom, grain and flicker and all that other good stuff.

And then, of course, you've got some of the essentials, which no creator wants to be without, like noise reduction. So we've got this clip here. It's not too bad, but there's a little bit of noise in the shadows.

So on the color page, we have this icon here, which is your motion effects. And within here, we've got spatial and temporal noise reduction. So let's slap on a couple of frames.

of temporal noise reduction and just increase the threshold and we can see it just cleans that footage up like so and it's starting to look much better. We can also then start to add a little bit of the spatial noise reduction if we need to do a little bit of extra work and we can tidy those shadows up nicely. And then we've got super scaling.

So if you've got a low resolution piece of footage, 720p for example, but you're working on a 4K timeline, you want to blow it up, kind of expand it, scale it while making it look nice and crisp. Then from the edit page, you open up the inspector. When you're on a clip, scroll to the bottom.

We've got AI Superscale. We can toggle that on and straight away you can see this clip sharpens up nicely. This is a 720p clip.

We've got Superscale 2X, 2X Enhanced. And if you are using one of these swanky NVIDIA RTX cards, you get a NVIDIA RTX video mode. So we can slap that on, 4X scaling.

We can hit play and it's going to scale this up nicely, making it look. Nice and sharp, making it look a little bit more like 4K rather than the slightly mushy 720p that it is. Next up, we've got AI Voice Convert and then AI Speech Generator.

Now, they haven't gone full text -to -speech with this. They've tried to be somewhat delicate in their approach. But you do get two models that you can run, and they kind of work into...

Slightly odd ways. So let me show you super quick. So I've got this little clip of me chatting on the timeline here.

If I right click, we do have an option, voice convert. If I give that a click, we get this AI voice convert appear. And I can choose the track, I can choose the file name, and I can choose the voice model.

It comes with four by default, two female and two male. So let's just go with male one for now. And then I click render.

And it's going to basically read that. change it to a different voice, and then we get something more like this. I've been talking about DaVinci Resolve for years now, and I think that...

That's very, very deep and very monotone for some reason. But I've also got a model in here. Let me just do voice converts again for Alex.

So this is actually going to render my own voice with the AI version of me. I've been talking about DaVinci Resolve for years now, and I think this... And it's not...

too bad now to actually generate one of those voices you need to import some audio so with you talking so i've got this clip here and then you right click ai tools and we've got davinci ai voice training make sure you read the notice here make sure you've got all the rights to do what you want to do and then you can generate a voice model off that piece of audio Now, once again, that will take some time, potentially longer than you expect, again, depending on your system.

It didn't take very long for me, thanks to that 5080 once again. But if you're running a slightly older GPU or an integrated GPU, it's quite slow generally on the Macs and that sort of thing. So just give it some time to finish.

It will run in the background so you can leave it going while you go and do something else. And then when you come back, that new voice will be an option for you. But recently in the 21 update, they also added this voice generation.

So for this one, we go to timeline, AI tools, speech generator, and then we get to type what we want to hear within here. So let's just go with that. Let's go.

Let's see what we get with these AI tools. And then we choose the voice. We've got the same default or we can go custom voice.

And then we need to load in the audio file. So I'm going to bring that in and then I simply hit generate. And it's going to basically generate those words from that audio file that we've just used, which has brought this down here.

If we put it on the timeline and hit play, let's go see what we get with these AI tools. It's not bad. It's not going to replace some of the like the really, really good AI generation sort of software out there that you can find online, the text to speech.

But if you just want to replace a word that you've messed up, it's not too shabby. Right. We're going to finish up, last but not least, messing with some of the face stuff, which you can do in DaVinci Resolve.

A lot of it's kind of face refinement. It's designed for the color side of things. But there's some other fun things in here I want to just whip through really quickly to finish this video off.

And we're going to jump over to the color page. And the first one is face refinement. So if we just search for face refinement, it's in there.

We drop that on there. We click detect faces in the frame. There's only the one.

And then we can just scrub through this. Again, the speed of this will depend on your system. This is going to run nice and quickly for me.

It's going to track my face. It's tracking my eyes, my eyebrows, my nose, my mouth, and my jawline like so. We can turn off the overlay.

And then we can start to mess around a bit with my face. So we can change the amount of sort of skin smoothing. We can beautify me, make me look a little bit younger.

Add a bit. more contrast, add a bit more color, even go as far as changing the eyeshadow that I'm wearing, not that I wear eyeshadow, changing the brightness, the sharpening and the color of my eyes, my lips, my teeth, blusher, forehead, cheeks, chin, and then adding a little bit of grain. Obviously, it's not generally used on a guy stood in a room talking about DaVinci Resolve.

It's more for models and stuff, but it's a cool one that's there if you're into that sort of thing. Another one, very similar, is the face reshaper. You have to do the same thing you track this backwards and forth and this one has even more dots and this one's looking at the shape of my face as the name suggests so once again from here once that's done we can go and change the shape of my face we can change the positioning the sizing of my eyes i like this one honestly just for messing around because i can make myself have a big eye and a little eye and then maybe separate them out a bit and just make me look a little bit weird i don't know if this is meant for this purpose but that's why i use it and the last one is the face age transformer which is this one right here and i'm still confused by this one i get it for short films but it's weird but it's fun it's a fun one to end on same thing detect and track.

So we'll whip through there like so. And what this one allows you to do is to change the age of people's faces. So there's me looking the mid -30s -ish that I am.

But if I wanted myself to look, I don't know, a little bit older, I could. And there's me looking quite a lot older, quite saggy, and quite wrinkly. That's a scary thought.

If I wanted to go younger, there's me looking like a baby. Thanks ever so much for watching. Take it easy.

I'll see you in the next one.

The Hook

The bait, then the rug-pull.

Resolve Studio is a one-time purchase packed with AI tools, and this video speed-runs the ones a working creator will use every week. It also doubles as a showcase for an NVIDIA RTX 5080 PC from the sponsor.
