How To Cut Audio In Davinci Resolve 18

To cut audio in Davinci Resolve you'll use Razor Blade tool (Or Ctrl + B keyboard shortcut.) By default if your video and audio tracks are attached, you'll cut both with one click. Cutting audio apart from video track can be a bit of a hassle at first. To cut audio separately from cutting the video track, first you have to unlink audio from video track. Then use razor blade tool while hovering over the place on the audio you want to cut.

This tutorial will walk you through the process of cutting an audio track in DaVinci Resolve 18, a popular and powerful video editing software.

Whether you’re looking to remove sections of audio from your video, desire to separate the audio track from the video track, or aim to trim specific words from the audio track, this guide is designed to assist you.

Here's a quick video tutorial explaining how to cut audio in Davinci Resolve 18:

First, drag your video into Media Pool and onto the Timeline. Start by importing your video into DaVinci Resolve 18, and drag it onto the timeline.

This will reveal the video track and the corresponding audio track, which is typically highlighted in green.

To cut the audio track, first select the Razor Blade tool from the toolbar.

By default, the Razor Blade tool will cut both the video and audio tracks together. To separate these tracks, click the chain icon to unlink the video and audio clips.

If unchecking the chain link isn't sufficient, right-click on the audio track and uncheck the "Link Clips" checkbox. To ensure your tracks are separated, look at the lower left corner of each track, the small chain icon should disappear.

Once unlinked, you can use the Razor Blade tool to cut out the desired sections of the audio track. At this point, you can now cut individual parts of the audio track, separately from video track. This is useful for adjusting dialogue timing to match the picture in the video.

For more precise cutting, such as removing specific words, switch to Detail Zoom mode. This mode rescales the timeline to a granular level, allowing you to see and cut individual words.

To cut audio in DaVinci Resolve 18 follow these steps:

1. Import and drag your video onto the timeline.
2. Select the Razor Blade tool.
3. Unlink video and audio tracks by clicking on chain button.
