Lesson 9 Mixing Sound in Fairlight: Exploring theInterface

Exploring the Interface

Let’s talk about workflow. You are almost finished with your edit, and your project is now

more or less complete. At some point, you have to move on to audio finishing. Traditionally,

all audio post-production was completed separately from editing using standalone audio

software. As a result, media conversions and duplication of work were necessary just to

share the edited timeline with an audio-post application. You are about to experience how

that workflow is accelerated by DaVinci Resolve 16.

1 Open DaVinci Resolve, if necessary; and in the Project manager, open the Age of

Airplanes project.

2 In the Rough Cuts bin, double-click the 05 Fairlight Rough Cut to open it in the

timeline.

This timeline is slightly different from the one you used in the previous lesson. It has all

the volume changes you made, along with the keyframing and fade-up on the music

track, but it also has more sound effects.

3 At the bottom of the DaVinci Resolve interface, click the Fairlight button.

That is the one-and-only workflow step required to move from editing to audio post!

While the interface may appear to be a single large timeline, the Fairlight page is

actually divided into four sections.
