It’s pretty easy to add an effect to a clip in DaVinci Resolve. But for flexibility, control, and easy presets, the adjustment clip is an essential tool.
It’s basically an empty clip you can drag into your timeline. But any effect you add to it gets applied to all clips below it on the timeline.
That makes it a quick way to affect multiple tracks at the same time.
And because it’s a clip in the timeline, you can easily adjust how long it lasts. So you’re free to add an effect to half a clip or 20 clips.
In this video from MrAlexTech, you’ll learn about:
- Where to find the Adjustment Clip effect
- Adding it as a favorite
- How it works
- Adding effects to the clip
- Using for color grading
- Adjusting the timing of effects
- Saving and re-using effects & presets

I spent 3 hours this evening trying to get Adjustment Clips to work on DaVinci Reoslve 19. All I wanted to do was to have a zoom into a video effect. I watched countless videos telling me how easy it was. Just like yours. I gave up. It does not work. If course, it is simple and easy ifyou have got years of experience in video editing. But simple and easy for the competent is not simple and easy for us who have not used it before.
