rhead door So they make a hundred foot trucks that are uh 10 foot two running height with the ladder So we know they're out there. Um, again, that's as we develop in the Put out specs that will be part of Specific in the spec that it has to be under a certain run height and that sort of thing Perfect the next I have two questions the next question is if we're going to go to a two truck set Do we still owe money on our current ladder truck in that third truck? No so, um, are we able to sell those trucks to help keep The purchase price down for the taxpayers So the 1995 engine two which has been a reserve truck is currently for sale. It's listed with uh A national it's actually a Vermont vendor who who advertises these trucks. Um Surprisingly a truck of that age, um is not worth a lot You know, we're not talking hundreds of thousands of dollars. We're talking, you know 40 to 25 thousand dollars for a 1995 truck That on a national level there, that's what those trucks are going for um likely likely closer to the 20 to 25 thousand dollar range so And our ladder, um, you know is Again, whether you There's a difference whether you it's like your own car, right? If you trade it into the dealer you're going to get less versus you advertise it on the open market So that is something when we get to that point what that is But I don't want people to feel like there's hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting there in resale value Your your ladder truck is likely to bring and don't hold me to this but likely to bring between 50 and 70 thousand dollars um, and that's a hard pill to swallow when you see we've this community the previous Chief and and staff have done a tremendous job of I would put that 26 year old truck up against a brand new one as far as what it looks like and how well we've kept it um But that only goes so far Okay, um, they used to right? What's that? I said they don't make it like they used to right? They don't And the next question I have since we're talking about this and I don't want to put you on the spot. Um Is wunewski Is our development outpacing our public safety and is that a concern for has anyone had this conversation yet? because it seems to me that with the new Development that's been going on with the gateways It's almost seems like we're We're out developing our public safety So I certainly don't want to speak for PD you know, I think You know, we always present to you what the call volumes are um And when I mean certainly on my side of the house when I'm talking emergency responses You're now seeing the number of inspections. You know, you're seeing a controlled growth I don't think we've seen some chaotic Chaos as far as the numbers You know and um, certainly taller buildings, you know Affect our aerial, but that hundred foot aerial I could use on a single family home and have better reach You know, you're you're at more risk in that single family home with no sprinkler system, you know all that sort of thing um, you know So on the fire side and you know the ems side I think there's certainly increases and we certainly feel the demand if you will Um, but I don't and again, I don't want to speak for chief hubert But I don't it's not complete chaos Um, but it's investments like this You know this piece of equipment has served this community for 23 years. It's served it well um, you know, you're you're building buildings that are taller they're going to be here for 50 60 70 years longer um, you know There are investments as you build out like this that that a community needs to make and I think we are being very um From from my seat and it's easy for my seat, right? I think we're being very respectful Very insightful if you will of of the timing and and certainly my staff is doing the best they can to look ahead 20 plus years of What the needs are going to be and and I'm very confident and sitting in front of you that you know These types of purchases keep a lid on that uncontrolled kind of growth if you will or demands risk factors Before we uh, talk any further about the latter trauma. Are there any other questions about other parts of the firing code budget or um Merging issues brand go ahead You know, I'm looking at slides 32 and 33 um, so maybe some questions for angela um I'm I'm just curious Where right now we have a year to date and there's only a like there's less than a thousand dollars in the year to date but the projected Your end is like a couple thousand and then looking for the fy 23 proposed. It's the same amount Is that what am I missing there? So the current year to date was as of september I'm not sure which line at them. You're specifically looking at I don't have like office supplies utilities Yeah, so this is all projection. So that was based on the beginning of september projection. So um, we can refine it more as we continue on but historically we used What has been included in the budget or intend to use it? Okay, because that is information that's helpful for context because like the follow-up questions I Would have would be influenced on whether or not like that year to date is as of december So no, no, it was when the the budget workbooks were created, which was the beginning of september Which is why we include the previous year end for the prior fiscal year that was completed That's helpful. Thank you because what I was going to kind of continue the conversation about looking at What the year to date is versus what's projected and saying well if Are we really looking at the proposed fy 23 proposed? Really reflecting those numbers but with the context of what fy 21 actual is that is Much better context than What I was working on um Yeah, the year to date is is Really early in the year I start developing the the workbooks for our staff to to work from to create their budgets in early september They receive them around labor day to pull together for october If possible, it might be worth just putting an asterisk on these slides and saying what the year to date is Reflecting so that anybody look pulling up this information From the website knows what that what that actually is Okay, we can do that. Um my hope Was i'm gonna share it anyway My hope was that if for some reason we really were looking at like well, we don't Need eight thousand dollars worth of office supplies then maybe we could take Seven thousand of that eight and put it towards an internship or put it towards um a number of internships basically to Start developing a program um around the training recruitment retention opportunities, so That's what I was gonna get at but Perhaps Wish on such it does include um internship so so brinn here's a Without having um a full blown statewide internship type program How do we do that in when you ski right and I'll go back to st. Mike Is again those kids are not here for the certifications And most of them leave and go home for the summer What we've worked out with st. Mike's is I employ one of them for the summer For 12 to 14 weeks So they come and they're at our firehouse monday through friday But st. Mike's houses them the college houses them and feeds them And oh by the way, they come right back into the city after hours on the st. Mike's firetruck So for I believe it's like seven grand a year You know I get 12 weeks 12 weeks 12 to 14 weeks of full-time employment And then you know we get them after hours and and that's kind of morphed into some that same student doing Some part-time weekly hours for us in between their schedules So we are leveraging some of that we are not far from being able to Lead the way if you will In in the internship kind of thought process We've done one one to two internships a year for the last couple of years Awesome That's great to hear. I I mean I would love to just Do what we can to highlight that opportunity that that opportunity to draw more attention to it to In a way like celebrate it um You know just as we would our americorps members So paul, I don't know if you're picking up on any of those suggestions, but It'd be great to to meet the interns to introduce them to council You know basically to highlight the importance and the value that that it really is To to us um and our desire to to retain them as well. So Anyway, I'll we've got a lot more to talk about so I'll just kind of leave it at that Are any other questions, uh mike go ahead? Yep, um Before we get to the ladder truck, I I just want to Like I like I told chief heber or stated with chief heber in his department I want to commend john and his department chief adi and his department on his commitment Of fire safety in our community and keeping our community safe Also with cold enforcement I think a lot of people don't realize what it's involved in the cold enforcement portion of his job and with his department, uh john you I want to comment on a You said, you know these violations look negative, but you know what those violations aren't negative They actually turn into something positive because it helps save property and it can save lives And that's me being a tradesman being an electrician. I understand that logic and I You can't speak how important it is for those violations to get um Fixed and I let the follow-up that you have in most of the time your follow-up is positive And I think that speaks, you know volumes of your department and the commitment you have to our community And as a community member, I wanted to thank you you and your department And I also want to echo your comments about the saint mike fire and rescue um Having used their service a couple times for my family the professionalism those Those students have in the commitment they have to our community Speaks volumes as well And with the partnership that you have established with that with that entity in that service I think needs to be you're right. We need to be a better partner with them because they do Help our community and ensure the safety and protection of our of our community So thank you Thank you and the as you said it goes on to staff some days my job is really easy You know these folks do so one one other thing I wanted to mention john does does the Your department releases statement this time of year for such occasions as the weather we're going to have coming up about space eaters and or if we have a northeaster come through about clearing exhaust pipes for Co. Um, I think that's an important tool that we have with facebook and front porch forum to to uh Does your department do any of that? So we certainly try to um, you know, we fire hydrants come to mind every year as far as clearing the importance of clearing fire hydrants And it is certainly something that we can always do better on of It's it's having the resources um to trigger that and certainly, you know, paul does a Huge lift for us on the communications, but that's on us to get him that information. So um, it's We certainly try. Um, but there are limitations and An area for improvement for sure Thank you Any other questions before we move to the Next item Mayor um, my very last slide. I just wanted to cover paul if you can go to the last slide and um This this is representative of a couple things the the left hand slide is our current 70 foot truck The right hand side is a presumed 100 foot truck If the community decides to go in that direction And what we did is we placed the truck on the proposed main street street skate So if you look where everyone can see where the cab of that truck is That's what we're trying to depict here is If you reconstruct main street or east allen or if i'm down on when uski falls way um, why is reach important? and There's a setup area for these trucks So what we've tried to dictate is the sidewalk the green space the bike path the parking And where we set our truck up And the pink line is currently where form-based code puts the buildings right on the sidewalk, right? We hear you guys hear that all the time, right? The buildings are right on the sidewalk The green line is There's a proposed amendment to the zoning that would allow these buildings to move back another eight feet So I wanted to show you You know as we move these buildings it affects our reach as we rebuild these streets it affects our reach So that's when we talk about and I want you to understand the detail of the homework that we're doing That staff are doing We're not just It's not just a wish list that this community gets a hundred foot truck When I sit here and tell you as fire chief that You know we need that resource here in this community. Please trust that we've done the level of research and work That I can sit here with a straight face and tell you that this community needs a hundred foot ladder truck To serve what's has been built and what will continue to be built in the future Um safely efficiently and effectively and I hope this picture helps some of that um You know depict some of that the building height and you can see where that bucket lands and Over that aerial lands and and the limitations that we're trying to overcome You know what would be helpful for me at a future meeting would be Some data on how many buildings Like what percentage of our buildings cannot be reached with the current ladder? um and may you know you mentioned like Partners come in for fire calls but not for other types of calls like roof access if you had some numbers around that that would be useful to see too Mike yeah, you know what john that data I think With the power lines on some of the buildings Is it a different effect with the smaller ladder truck than the larger ladder truck do that's Because I know where the peak and dock house. There's some power line issues around those buildings. Isn't there and Would that bigger truck help it in a situation like that? Yeah, I mean again, it's a game day decision of kind of what's going on but power lines play in the effect um, you know, whether it's a ladder or a bucket takes you know Plank it all um all matters and and you know There isn't going to be one truck that solves 100 of the issues. Um, you know, there's there's just going to be Sometimes there's going to be events in a building that we're limited no matter what we do or what we have So but yes, um, my power lines do play a role and and and some of our decision making here I think some of that data should be included if if the merit at mind adding that to that list And uh, I think the bottom line is it's what keeps your crew safe and our residents safe, you know Protect life, right? question unrelated to the To the ladder truck right now angela, what Where does the nixle software fall in the budget where? what um department is that under So nixle is uh the communication software that we use city-wide. So that is a city manager expense okay, um and Currently it the website says that it's only for parking ban reminders. Do we utilize it for anything other than that? I believe in the past we have used it for emergency notification, but um, paul Yeah, I can answer that for you the the the impetus of nixle Was the winter parking ban. So that is its primary annual use Luckily, uh, we we don't use it for anything less than a large-scale emergency the most common of which other than what their parking bans are Just after winter, you know was uh, there's certainly a reoccurrence of water main breaks But those are generally reserved for your your larger events And I believe I've seen some street closures as well related to emergencies Yeah, it has to be pretty disruptive if it's a if it's a it's simple traffic issue that can be handled with some with some cones and an officer and we usually Skip that but if it is uh, either a planned large project or or something pretty pretty severe we we know nixle Um When did we when when did we start utilizing that software? The question it was The year that I started so 2015 I was still Programs about 2015. I think um, I don't I'd be interested in having the safe healthy connected um commission Look at data around How many folks are registered for that? How many with the frequency of notices one of the types of notices we sent? Um, I and the reason why I ask for some background data and information, you know cost packages with frequency of um Users, etc. Is it just a follow-up of mike's? Uh question of you know, how else can we distribute announcements when there are? um adversarial weather events like, um Like the one we're facing overnight tonight and talking about space heater risk and um needing the clear out clear out vents To mitigate so, you know to to the chief's um Methodology of the risk reduction, um, it seems like perhaps it's it's an available resource that that we can explore and begin to pilot um sending out additional um community notifications that that would be valued for um, I think all of our public services. So um, nothing that we I anticipate having available in the next couple months. Um, but perhaps after town meeting Yeah, it's definitely an interesting thought. You know, we had a lot of discussions in the beginning about what kinds of messages would be um composed on that system, you know, those those text messages are Pretty limited in what they can do. Um, just from an operational standpoint. They are um traditionally meant for the larger emergencies. We Definitely had a lot of conversations about concern about using them for the lower You know less emergent issues You know, we have a really great Uh communications base already between social media and our new website email subscribers stuff like that the the frequency of which people get text messages, there's a lot of um studies around sort of unsubscription rates with getting a lot of those kinds of messages sort of pushed to your text messages so We definitely want to be thoughtful and careful about what kinds of um, you know items we're sending out that sort of uh races You know get get are up to the occasion. I suppose that is a good way to say that Sure, and I also think there's there's balance with everything, right? So it's about having a strategy and intention around um around it like And there are other municipalities, um that utilize similar software that we can look at and I uh and as an example and Um what their costs are what their usage what policies they have around it for examples Um, I just got a a text message from chintan solid waste district While we were on the call about how they're closing their facilities tomorrow because of the Dangerously low temperatures and wind chills So as an example of another municipal entity that that's utilizing software and how they're using it. So Uh, I think there's an opportunity for um more conversation there Are any more questions on the public safety budget presentation? And we can still talk about the truck in the next Okay, I do want to move us to item c to talk about the fire truck bond resolution and then we We still have chief oddy here to to ask for information about the truck in the Angela, do you want to walk us through the actual bond resolution piece? Sure. So chief oddy came to me About a month ago with a concern about the lead time for ordering a fire truck being approximately two years The capital improvement plan that was presented by john rousher at the last meeting included the fire truck to be replaced in fiscal year 2024 Meaning that if we place our order now The earliest that we're going to get it is march of 2024 I would not allow john to order a truck without having financing in place So we need to have the authorization to even seek financing From the voters for a purchase of this magnitude um Basically, we're going to go to the voters on town meeting day to request authorization to borrow money to purchase this truck If approved john would place the order We would not borrow the money until we are ready to take delivery of the vehicle the bond period prior to that likely the winter of the 2023 issuance friend Would there be a down payment required with the order? There is not john has already checked into that perfect well But does the order commit a right like Once you place the order and she's committing to this purchase. So you're committing to having that money at some Right, which is why I won't let the order be placed until we have a bond authorization from the voters Mm-hmm. Mike yeah, so Excuse me if We get the bond vote Excuse me if we get the bond vote passes john's got a big smile on his face and then two years from now Because it's going to take two years What happens if cost materials weigh up again? We would be locked into the price at the time of order Locked in I think I did I think I might have read that actually now The other thing I'm concerned about is getting a truck that has Is it going to be up to date on technology or if the truck that we order? Is it going to be a 2023 truck that we get in 2025 or is it going to be? You know the best technology available at that time You know, you know what I mean? How's that going to work if we order now? Walk into a price and we don't get the truck of 2025. Are we getting a 2025 truck? Or is it going to be still considered a 2023 with 2023? Infrastructure in it or components? So due to supply chains You know They're these are their build times. I mean, they're not getting They're not getting truck axles or they're not getting huge components of these trucks You know that that's what's pushing these These out so it's not like they're gonna all of a sudden free up a bunch of 2020 components and And ship them They don't exist um, so You know I think for the best of my ability to answer your question, Mike I think there's going to be a you know, there's going to be technology You know We want to order a truck on true tried technology So, you know when you order this type of truck It's it's not something that we want them to have developed A month before we order and or we want them to build and and send us a truck that's not true You know tried has been tested. Yeah, right. There's there's so many components these trucks there there's certainly new technology and pieces of the truck, but You know, it's true tried technology parts and pieces that these vendors use to build these trucks And that's why they last, you know, 23 26 years I don't know if that's answering your question Yeah, I might not award that I'm sorry Angela go No with the lead times the people who order a truck in 2025 won't get that 2025 truck until 2027 And we really shouldn't wait that long with the age of this vehicle Correct. And I know there's been a huge huge demand like I had a friend go to Indiana To a camp in place and he saw fields in fields of four trucks when they'll pick up beds on them Brand new trucks hundreds of them because they didn't have any computer chips to put in the trucks That's why I was trying to get out. I don't know if I said the question right Are we going to get 2023 technology in a truck that we're going to get in 2025 and that's Or is it going to just keep upgrading as it goes? So Yeah, I think you answered my question John. Yeah, and to be clear. I mean these vendors, you know The demand is huge. I mean people are trying to get ahead of this curve We're not the only community having this discussion You know one of the vendors that I Put in the memo that Angela put in the memo I mean they typically sell 50 trucks nationwide and they're selling over 200 a month right now And they're they're in their third month of doing that and that's again compounding You know the the vendor of our current make of our truck You know, they're they're rationed on what they can get for parts to build these trucks So that's why you're seeing the two-year build out And is this the only vendor that we can that we deal with or is there other vendors that we can look into? Oh, I mean this will go to a competitive bid obviously. Um, you know, there's reasons why we would We would like to stay With the vendor we have they've treated this community very well for 30 plus years Yeah, in addition same maker there are sometimes cost efficiencies in terms of parts But I like that you stick with what you know, thank you, but but this goes to competitive bid There's there's certainly some big players, you know, there's three or four vendors that could Build an aerial um for this community So how did you determine that we need to order build to suit? versus Us going out in the market and looking for a used purchase Um, so There's no I don't want it's it's not even preference.    So they're not used at fires. They're not, you know, They're not hammered. Um, you know, they're they're driven and shown to fire departments It's like they brought them into the city when you ski five of them so far different vendors And that allows our staff to drive the truck. We see how it moves around the city. We do our reach We you know figure out all the ins and outs of different components of different trucks um In their significant savings If if we can find a demo when the time is right To do that and when I say, you know, significant savings Between 200 and 250 thousand dollars, I believe we can save So that's certainly, you know I don't think there's a lot of options for used trucks But I certainly would would want to look at demos and understand if that's the right fit for when for when you ski And with the price tag associated with this type of a truck It would still be one that we would need to borrow money to to fund And the demo truck comes with factory warranties, you know, we've had several instances There's so many components to a fire truck. They all have their issues Um, but that something that we bought under factory warranty You know had has had work done and if you buy a used truck, that's That's money that the community's gonna Gonna pay You know and you hear stories I there's a central remote fire department that bought a used aerial truck They did a ton of homework. This guy works on fire trucks for a living as for 50 years of his life And that community bought a used ladder truck and nine months later They shipped it on a flatbed and and invested about another hundred and fifty thousand dollars to keep that used truck on the road For unexpected breakdowns issues, there are other questions about this item. All right I'd like the fact that you're trying to stay ahead of this and trying to try to be fiscally smart because who knows another couple years The way way product is going up and up. It hasn't come down very much I like the fact that we're thinking about this and the intent is to see where we're at with the reserves capacity that we have to borrow less money um From the bond bank and have some of this out of our own reserves pool To save ourselves an interest But until we're to the point where we're going to actually make the purchase We can't say how much reserves will be available. We didn't want to make a recommendation There was a reserves amount included in john rousher cip of about 500 000 So that could reduce this 1.3 million down But we didn't want to limit ourselves in case that funding is not available when we're ready to make that purchase Thanks Jim I think I think I just wanted to see you I forgot i'm sorry I just wanted to uh um Kind of affirm like I think the borrowing up to amount makes sense I think looking for the savings and these various ways both the demo trucks and with uh Using reserves to offset borrowing. I think that all makes sense. And I think getting on this now is the right thing to do um, so I'm supported for this and based on the Way you've presented the role that this is going to play in security for our community and safety for our community I think it's um hard to see that this is something we can keep waiting on So thank you for doing the work to try and get this set up Thank you All right. Well, we will come back to this Chief will be bringing us a little more data and then I think the Actually voting on this would be a part of our our final budget vote as well and what goes on the balance We are this one Let's move on to item d. This is the on for discussion approval review of our mask mandate resolution Uh, which is required by law to be visited Um, and wendy you included some info from uh questions that have come to the city I'm sorry. You asked about uh We've tabulated the questions that we've received so far. Um, we have not received any recently um, we did reach out to the business community and I Heard from folks that there were not concerned about extending this ordinance Um or resolution rather it does not have a formal enforcement policy, which has actually I think helped this resolution be Easier to live with than some others in the area. Um, it hasn't sparked a lot of controversy Um folks, uh, both the business owners and the customers Seem to appreciate it. It's not just businesses. It's also residential. Um, you did get some um comments from a gentleman who lives in one of the, um, large condo buildings here and, um He was concerned that the landlord did not Provide signage if if you do go ahead and extend this I'll personally contact that landlord and The individual did plan on being here tonight. I don't know if We went too late for him. But um, but he was he sent us several communications and Was very passionate about it So if you do extend this it will run through february 19th Um, we did do the outreach that we discussed at the previous meeting We think it's important to continue providing masks to the public um So estimating just rough amounts, uh, $500 a month Um is consistent with what we've already done Hopefully amicron will run its course and be finished in a couple of weeks, but you know, we obviously don't know that Um, so we just think this is the prudent thing to do Thanks, wendy. Mike Yes question, um, I've seen some signs on businesses saying if you don't have a mask on uh, when you're skiing Excuse me. Jeez. When you ski pd will be called What is The role of the police department being called on people not wearing masks in public spaces or The when the police department does not have a role So when they enter someone's business, they will be asking to remove a customer or a person from public space At the the business owners request of trespassing or will it be because they're not wearing a mask if The police would not remove someone for not wearing a mask. There's there's no Penalty in the resolution if the person is causing a disruption Or if they're an existing trespass person Then the business owner can request the police assistance Correct. Okay. I just I didn't want to get Residents or people confused that they think they can call the police department on calls like this. That's all. Thank you And I don't want to ever dissuade folks from calling the police. I mean always call them even if it's just with a question And if you could let me know offline where those Businesses are I'd like to follow up Okay, no problem Yeah, so the question for us today is do we want to renew this? Do we want any changes? Um, so I guess before the first question Are there any questions that you all have or changes that you would want to put in place? Uh, hearing no changes or concerns Does someone want to make a motion to approve this resolution extending the mask mandate for 30 more days? So Motion by brind second by how all those in favor, please say aye Motion carries. Thank you So on to item e this is the interim manager agreement renewal or wendy Hi everyone. Um, so this is just a couple of updates to wendy's interim agreement. So What you will be voting on is just um to approve the contract extension or wendy We included a markup version of the employment agreement. So the only things that are dates and the language around The compensation so we had we had wendy at $60 per hour Previously and we actually needed to change that language to be more compliant with the Fair Labor Standards Act This position should technically be exempt and not hourly So we updated that language under compensation to be a little bit more clear and to administratively make it a little bit easier For wendy to be paid So I am happy to hear any questions that anyone has about this updated contract You mean to tell me wendy wants to be paid It's not like she's working very frequently wants Are there any questions from council? All right, can I get a motion to approve the agreement renewal so we can keep our interim manager a little longer? Motion by mic second by jim all those in favor, please say aye. Hi Motion carries Thank you This brings us to the end of our agenda. Can I have a motion to adjourn? I have a question So don't we have isn't um Phoebe's last week this week Is it? I believe it's friday.  Excited and sad I'm sad. Well, thank you so much for It's been like two years almost all in the pandemic, right? Yeah It's been a very interesting time to To be working together and we're very appreciative of your service. Thank you for reminding me Yes, thank you brin and thanks to you all it's been great working with you all We'll be missed So we have four more days to I don't know share accolades or make demands Yeah, if you if you need anything got four days starting The email is uh, no, it's uh self self-destructs at 3 p.m. On friday Um mayor is there a transition plan or an interim? Oh, yeah, we probably should have included this in city updates. Um Phoebe has been working with staff to cover ongoing tasks. Um Sort of like more day-to-day stuff also talking to and jump in at any point Gov HR and vlct and passive Who provides us with insurance and services, right? Um To get us more of that one off like if there's one off support needs um Like a grievance or something like that Um, and then the job is already posted Yeah, it's it's been posted For a week. Um And yeah, as christine said we have You know, we've had we've been without an HR person before in monieski And so staff can pick up a lot of the day-to-day Operational admin stuff and there is additional support if needed available From external partners vlct, especially the HR consultant at vlct. Jill Muir is great And has a ton of experience and They have a program or if you have an HR or personality you can just call their consulting program and they can support you so um, I think that's definitely something we've utilized in the past and that will be available to Wendy and leadership as needed Well, thank you and It's your last council meeting.  I'll move second Motion by mic second by brinn all those favor, please say aye. All right. All right Motion carries. Good night everyone and thank you. Good night. Good night, everybody


OTAN, Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. Anthony mentioned that we're going to be doing DaVinci Resolve and video editing. I noticed that Linda, minor, applauded. Linda, do you do video editing? Yeah, I teach a video editing class using online resources is the title. But we've never used anything as complex as DaVinci. But you know about DaVinci Resolve. Oh, great. Great. Thank you. Thank you. No, I don't know it yet. So I'm contemplating, do I want to get that complex? Okay. That's why I'm here. Okay. Fantastic. Thank you for coming. Anybody else? I just want to get an idea of the audience so that I can tailor my presentation to, to you. If you're all beginners or some, some more technically intermediate or advanced. Do we have anyone else who does video editing? I'm Paul. The only thing I've used is screencastify.   Right. Cause we seem to be making a lot of videos for the teachers and Karen. I'm so glad to hear it. Okay. First of all, the exciting thing is DaVinci Resolve is state of the art. Okay. It's, it's, it's state of the art, Hollywood. Post production. And it's, it's, there's a version that's for free. Okay. And it's, it can be very, very complex in the things that it can do. It can work magic. And it could also be very simple. Good. My language. And I want you to think about it in terms of like a, for example, a Microsoft word. Right. I use Microsoft word, but there are only 30 buttons that I know, right? Like bold, indent, underline, choose your font, choose your, and, and I've been using Microsoft word for 25 years, but I've only, I only know 30 buttons, all those other things. So just keep that in mind. That's the frame of mind we're going to start from. Okay. You're going to be overwhelmed by the options and the choices, but you just need to know. Maybe 30 to 50 buttons, depending on how much to get started. Okay. So here we go. All right. Thank you for joining me. And I'm very happy to see you guys here. This is the creating and editing videos in the venture resolve webinar. Okay. So today I'm going to walk you through the software. And it's not really, it's more of an introduction, what we're going to be doing today and a demonstration of the software. And we're going to do that by turning a CTE classroom exercise into a video lesson. Okay. And in the process, I want you to see what the possibilities are and start thinking about how you might use the venture resolve to produce interesting visually engaging content for your class. Okay. It's not so much of a technical webinar today, but an introduction. However, I will give you enough tips to get started. Okay. So as with any kind of a program, we always have to start with some system requirements, right? So for DaVinci resolve, they have three versions. One that runs on Mac windows and Lennox. The base requirement that the company black magic design that makes DaVinci resolve requires 16 gigabytes of RAM. You might not have four gigabytes of video RAM. And 250 gigabytes of hard drive. You might not have eight gigabytes of RAM, but I think you might not have 16, but I think you might, if you have eight gigabytes, that might be enough. Okay. Because DaVinci resolve is designed to, to be used for a very large video files. For example, the videos that I'm going to be used today were shot on my iPhone. Okay. They were shot on my iPhone. And I'm using my eight year old. I Mac. And it works fine. Okay. So. DaVinci resolve. Is made. By a company called black magic design. Let's go to the next slide. Okay. I'm going to open my browser. And I'm going to type in a black magic design. Dot com black. And because I've used it before. It's already popped up right here. Okay. And. This is their homepage. As you can see, they make a lot of hardware. If you scroll down. You'll see introducing DaVinci resolve 17 right here. I'm going to open my browser and I'm going to type in a black magic design. You'll see introducing DaVinci resolve 17 right here. Okay. So I'm going to click on this. And there's a fabulous introduction here. To DaVinci resolve. We're not going to watch this whole thing. I'm just going to come down and show you that. It's right here. Download now. This is how much they want you to use it. Okay. If you click on this. Here you sit. You'll see two versions. The latest version is a 17. And you decide if you want it on your Mac windows or Linux machine. Okay. This one is free. This is the studio version that you have to pay about $300 for. And the studio version includes things that you will never use. For example, if you see here says. 3d tools. Right. We're not going to be making any 3d tools. But we're not going to be making 3d tools. Okay. Now there's a lot about that. So if you click for example, I'm on a Mac. So I would click this. And all you have to do is fill out your name. And. Maybe answer these two questions. Register and download. And you're good to go. Okay. So what, what is DaVinci resolve? Here's the exciting thing. About this program. 15 years ago. corrector a color grading system. That means they work on the color aspect of a video production and it was $5,000. But this company, Blackmagic Design, you see their logo here on the upper right, they bought it and they added a host of other features. Here you can see there's a media page. There's a cut page and the edit page, these two are for editing. There's a fusion page for special effects. There's a color page for color grading and color correction. And there's a fairlight page for audio mixing and recording. And the delivery page is where you output your finished video, okay? So this company bought it, the venture resolve and expanded on it is making it available to the public because they want to expand the use of it, okay? So here are some of the features. We're gonna look at the edit page. This is the edit page. This is where we're gonna spend the majority of our time today, okay? We're gonna import a video. We're gonna learn how to mark clips. Mark clips means to set your in and out points for that section of the video that you want. We're gonna talk about these seven ways to edit your clips. Insert, overwrite, replace, fit to fill, place on top, append at end, ripple overwrite. And we're gonna talk, go over these trimming tools, okay? And again, I just wanna emphasize that although I will go through these features with you, if they're a little bit over your head, don't worry about it. I want you to look at the overall presentation today more than the specifics to see what is possible. And I'm gonna give you more tools at the end of the webinar, how you can learn these skills and how you can perfect these skills, okay? So we're gonna go through all of this today, transitions, titles, okay? This is the color page and this is where you will be doing your color correction and color balancing, color grading. And this is what DaVinci Resolve is known for. Out of all the television shows you watch, all the feature films on Netflix, Disney, over 60% of them are color graded with this software application, okay? This is the fusion page. We're not gonna talk about this today. This is something I'll let you explore on your own, but you can see this example here. What's going on is they're doing compositing with a 3D model, okay? So this is very advanced stuff and I'll give you a little glimpse into it but we won't be delving into that today, okay? This is the Fairlight page and this is where you can build your audio tracks, you can record and mix the sound, okay? The media page is where you bring in your media and you output your clips, okay? So at the very top here, you can see there's an introduction to every aspect of DaVinci Resolve, including hardware but notice here on the upper right, a training tab, okay? This is really fantastic stuff, okay? DaVinci Resolve has produced these videos that teach you how to edit the art of color grading. This one you don't need because it's for people who have purchased this mini panel, okay? But visual effects and graphics, visual effects in 3D, audio production, you can download, you can watch the video file here or you can download the video and the project files and follow along. So if you wanna learn the details, you can do this on your own time. Today is a general introduction to show you what's possible, okay? So that's DaVinci Resolve. I'm going to launch the program here while I talk about the next thing, okay? So I'm gonna launch DaVinci Resolve. What are you gonna learn today? We're gonna import an export video. We're gonna go through some video editing basics, create some titles, transitions, color, record narration, we're gonna do a basic sound mix. This is the whole process you would go through to make a polished video. And we're gonna do it with a real world project that I did for a class of mine, okay? I am currently an IET instructor. I am partnered with a CTE cosmetology teacher at my school. She teaches the career technical, the CTE cosmetology class. I am the ESL teacher. I help my students with the academic and language skills. She gave her students an assignment to partner up, choose a salon service, write out the steps and perform them. So the students decided to do makeup and these were the steps to accomplish the task that they outlined, okay? Cleanse the skin with aloe vera wipes is the first step, right? So while they were doing the makeup process, I videotaped it with my iPhone, okay? So you can start making videos with your iPhone, okay? So here, the Vittorio Resolve has opened up. I'm gonna start a new project, okay? This is an untitled project. So I'm just gonna double click on it. This is the menu that is offered to you after you launched the program. I'm gonna click untitled project. And here, throughout this training, I understand that your video screen might look very big and it might be hard to follow along but I'm gonna be shaking my cursor. Can everyone see my cursor? I wanna, and I wanna be directing your attention. I might say, look at the top of the screen. Look at the left of the screen. Look at the upper left corner, the upper right corner or the bottom, okay? And I'm gonna be shaking my screen. So look for my vibrating cursor, okay? So right now, I wanna direct your attention to the bottom of the screen. You can see, here are the tabs to the different pages of the software that the website showed us. Media, Cut, Edit, Fusion, Color, Fairlight, and Deliver. Okay, so this is the first page. The media page is where we're gonna bring in our media, where we're gonna import the media, okay? On the upper left corner, the Venture Resolve automatically locates all the hard drives you have on your computer or that you have connected to your computer. So I have all my hard drives here. I'm gonna go to the one where my video is, okay? And it happens to be here, the IET video hard drive, okay? As you can see, it's right here, connected to my computer via USB3, and it shows up here in the Venture Resolve, okay? So I'm gonna find the videos that I recorded of my students doing the makeup exercise. This is the first one and this is the last one. Okay, so I've selected all the videos that I shot that day and I'm just gonna drag it into this media pool. Now all the videos are in my project. It's that simple, okay? It's that simple to import media. You're on your media page, you find your hard drive and the folder where the videos are, highlight them and just drag them into the media pool, okay? And now you can work with them. The first page is the cut page, okay? The cut page was just added recently a few years ago and it's basically editing, okay? It's where you edit. But there's also another one called the edit page and they do the similar things. They're similar. Supposedly the edit page has a few features that will help you accelerate your workflow to meet tight deadlines. I'm used to the edit page so I'm just gonna stick with that but if you want to, you can start editing your videos here. As you can see, once you import the media from the media page, they automatically appear on the cut page and I'm gonna go to the edit page because that's what I prefer. If I go to the edit page and I look here at the media pool on the upper left corner, you can see a selection of tabs. One of them is media pool. I click on that and all the videos are here, okay? If I looked at the first video, this is the first step that the students did to perform the makeup exercise and just as a reminder, what was the first step? Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes, okay? So I have my source window on the left, okay? And I'm just gonna randomly, when you can scroll through the whole video clip through this timeline at the bottom and you decide what part of the clip do I want to use? Okay, you decide by setting it, say, I wanna start my clip here. I can set an end point here. I can click this and I'm gonna play and I'm gonna click out point here. So as you can see, I'm gonna use this portion of this clip because I've set an end point here and I've set an out point here by clicking these two arrows here, okay? And I can just drag this into my timeline and this is my project, okay? Is that easy? Launch your clip by clicking on here. Decide which part of the clip you want by clicking the in and the out point and just drag it in here and you're good to go, okay? So I'm gonna go back to that original clip and say I wanna use this part. I can click these arrows to set my end point, my new end point or out point or I can go here, mark in on the top. Or I can use the shortcut. The shortcut is I for in. The shortcut for the out is the O. So every chance you get, learn to use the shortcuts. It's gonna help you work a lot faster and more efficiently, okay? So I wanna use my I for in and O for out, okay? So you can see my old in and out points are here, right? But as soon as I touch I on my keyboard, it just resets, okay? It resets the end point and I wanna choose an out point here, okay? And again, I could just drag that in to my clip and now this is my project and you can see the edit here. My project is over here on the right. This is the resource viewer window. This is the project window, okay? And you can see that I have an edit right there, okay? So here, I'm gonna try this cut here, okay? And here's another clip, it's unfortunately upside down. It was one of those weird moments where my iPhone was not able to find its equilibrium, and it just recorded the thing upside down because I was doing this a lot, moving around. And I'm gonna set my end point here by pressing I. I'm gonna let the clip play and I'm gonna set my out point there. And I'm gonna, instead of just dragging it into the timeline, there's another way to edit. I could drag this clip to the next window and now I have a menu of options. I could insert the video, overwrite, replace, fit to fill, place on top, append that end, or ripple, overwrite. I'm just gonna append it at the end. And you can see here it was added at the end, okay? So let's go back to the edit page to talk about some of these options, okay? So we mark the clip by setting our in and out points, right? We drag the clips into the timeline to create our projects. And we are going to learn the insert edit. Insert is when you put a clip between two other clips, okay? And you have several options of doing that, okay? So I'm gonna, because some of these clips, they look similar, I'm gonna choose something that's totally different, like this close up, this close up, okay? I'm gonna randomly set an end point here and an out point here and look at where my timeline is. My timeline is right here between the clips. And I wanna put insert and look what happens. This clip of the close up is inserted between these two clips, okay? And if ever you do something that you didn't want to do, you could always undo. So one thing I want you to understand is that do not be afraid to try things. Because just like Microsoft Word or any other program, you can undo, look here in the edit page, on the edit undo, okay? So I can undo that and I'm back to where I was, okay? So what I did was I put, I chose insert when I dragged this over and it inserted the clip in between the two clips, okay? The next option is overwrite. That means I'm gonna place the clip here, insert puts the clip between the two other clips and moves the clips on the right further back. You can see overwrite puts the clip here and it erases. That's what overwrite means. It erases the clips that are in that space, okay? I'm gonna demonstrate here. You can see that the playhead is here, it's covering this shot, right? So overwrite is gonna erase part of that clip, okay? So it erased everything that was here before, okay? I'm gonna undo that. So insert the clip between two clips and pushes the clips on the right further down. The overwrite puts the clip where your playhead is and erases the existing clips in that space. Replace is just gonna replace that clip, okay? So if I have this clip here and I choose replace, it's just gonna switch this clip for that clip and it doesn't change the length, okay? So you can see that that's what happened here, okay? And again, I'm gonna undo. I'm gonna undo to bring the old clip back and fit to fill. So fit to fill is similar to replace, but what it does is that it's gonna take the length of the clip that you have and either make it speed it up to fit a smaller space or slow it down to fit a longer space, okay? So this might be hard to understand at first, but let me demonstrate, okay? I'm gonna shorten this clip. I wanna make it really short. And notice how I'm going to fit to fill. This is a short clip that is going to replace a long clip. Fit to fill. So you can see how this was slowed down to fit that space, okay? To fit that space here. I'm gonna undo that. So that's what fit to fill does. I have a longer clip that I wanna fit in a smaller space. So I'm going to speed it up so that it'll fit. And vice versa, if you have a short clip that you wanna fill into a longer space, it's gonna slow it down to make it play longer, okay? So here, place on top. So if I choose this, I choose place on top, it's just gonna put it above. And you might wanna do that because if you're not sure, I'm not sure if I want this clip here. So I'm just gonna place it on top, okay? I wanna undo that. And we did a pin to end and then ripple overwrite means that it's gonna overwrite this and adjust the size. Watch, okay? So it took away the other clip and it brought this one in, okay?  And you can practice on your own to master them, okay? So right now let's talk about trimming. Trimming is important because when you edit a clip, you're gonna make little adjustments to make that edit sharper, to make that edit smooth.  Let me find one more clip here. Oh, this one, okay. I'm gonna go back here and I wanna use this clip, okay? So remember, you can drag clips into the timeline, you can drag clips to the right and you have this menu option, okay? You can also, there are icons here. There are three editing icons. You can see if I hover my cursor over this, it says insert clip, you can click here or you can use the shortcut F9, okay? I'm gonna click here and I've inserted that clip, okay? So right now, we're talking about trimming. Trimming is how you make your cuts cleaner, smoother and more fluid, okay? And these are the things that you do. You roll, ripple, slip and slide, okay? So here, in order to activate the trim mode, I'm gonna click on this icon here. If I just let my hover my cursor over it and let it sit for a second, the name comes up along with the keyboard shortcut, trim edit mode. I can click on this icon or I can press T, okay? I'm gonna click on this and what does this do? You can see I get this funny looking cursor with two brackets back to back and if I click on this edit point, I can move it around. I can move it to the left and I can move it to the right. And if you look at the screen here, on the left side, you'll see the tail of this clip and then you'll see the head of this clip and you can decide, oh, is this gonna match? If I do this in my match, right now they're starting to look similar. Let's see what happens. So I moved it over here. So that matched pretty well, right? Because I moved, I rolled my edit over, okay? So roll means that you're gonna choose the edit and you're gonna move it to the left or to the right. Ripple, if you notice the green, you're just gonna choose one side. You're gonna choose one side to lengthen or shorten, okay? So here, I'm just gonna, instead of putting the cursor in the middle, I'm gonna lean to one side and here I can make this clip shorter or longer, but the right clip stays the same. Similarly, if I hover on this clip, I can make this shorter or longer, okay? So you can move both at the same time or you can affect one side of the edit, either side of the edit, okay? So that's a ripple, okay? Slip, slip is when you do this. When you wanna take the whole clip and just move it around, you're not changing the inner out points, okay? So notice these inner out points do not change, but the content changes, okay? That's what a slip does. Slide is when you slide the whole clip to the left or the right. And if I move this cursor a little bit further down, you can see the icon has changed. Now I can slide the clip to the left and to the right, okay? So, I know that was a lot, right? But don't worry, we're planting the seed right now in your head about what's possible and how you're gonna be working with these tools, okay? When you decide to work with the software and you go through the tutorials, you'll see clearly how they work, okay? And believe me, it's not that hard, okay? So, what's next? Okay, so I'm just gonna fix one thing. So let's use these tools, these trim tools you use to perfect cuts, okay? So I like starting the second cut here. So I'm gonna use this ripple tool to bring the edit there, okay? And now, maybe I'll even shorten that some more, okay? And now notice this cut from this shot to the next shot. Okay, that matches nicely. Okay, these are the only clips I'm gonna use today. So I'm gonna, in order to have more screen real estate to work with, I'm gonna close this media pool by clicking on this tab on the upper left corner. I'm gonna close that media pool and I'm not gonna be looking at any more source clips. So I'm gonna click this icon on the upper right just to have one window. And that way I won't get distracted, okay? Oh, so remember this clip was upside down, right? Because my iPhone, it just couldn't find its equilibrium for this one shot. So I'm gonna click on it and if I look at this icon here on the upper right that says inspector, inspector, I have options to change certain parameters, okay? I can zoom in. You see how I can zoom in on that shot if I wanted to? I'm gonna undo to go back to normal state. I can change the position. I can change the, it might be hard for you to see, right? But there's a slider here that says rotation angle, okay? So I can change the rotation angle. I can flip it, okay? But this is hard to get just right with this slider. So luckily I remember my middle school math, you know? What I really need is 180 degrees, right? So I'm just gonna type that in. I'm gonna type in 180 and click enter and boom, it's perfect. So I just flipped it 180 degrees. And let me adjust this cut now, okay? So the first shot, hey, let's change this clip code so that we recognize this first shot. I'm gonna change that first clip to orange, change the second clip to blue, change this third clip to maybe green so that we can recognize them, okay? So the first clip, maybe I could even tighten that up a little bit more, right? Oops, I needed that trim mode, right? That trim mode, remember the keyboard shortcut was T. Watch this icon switch to red when I hit T on my keyboard. There you go, okay, now I'm in trim mode. You can see that this icon has changed. I'm gonna drag this closer. And if I play this, that's a nice change, okay? And I'm gonna go from here to maybe there. And I'm gonna make this clip a lot longer, okay? So this is so far what we have. Okay, so we heard a lot of background noise and there's no dialogue here.  So now when we play it, we won't hear that noise from the soundtrack, okay? And whenever you don't need a window, you should close it so that you have more, you can use more of your screen. So the inspector here on the upper right that I used to flip that screen, I'm just gonna click inspector again to close it, okay? So this is that first step, right? Cleanse the skin with aloe vera wipes. So I'm going to copy that because I'm not very good at typing, okay? And I'm gonna add a title here, okay? So let me direct your attention to the upper left corner. We had the media pool, right? The media pool is where all your clips are. We don't need that so I'm gonna close that and now I'm gonna open the effects library, okay? So here, look at all these titles that are just pre-made for you. If you roll over them, you can audition them, okay? Sometimes if you scroll left and right, you can see the animation, okay? I look at this, there's a ton of them, okay? This is really cool, right? So I know which one I want and I don't wanna go down and look at all of these and try to read, I'm gonna go to the search. I'm gonna click on this and I'm gonna type in dark box text because I know that's the title of the title that I want, okay? Oh, there it is, the dark box text, it just came right up. I'm gonna, I just drag it, look, I'm just dragging it right here. I found the title I wanna use and I just dragged it in. That's how easy it is. And I'm gonna click on it to highlight it because I wanna manipulate it and I have to go back to the inspector. Remember, an inspector here allows you to change parameters in any clip on the timeline, okay? So here, now this is, what does it say here? Sample text and this is the sample text. So I'm gonna delete that, okay? And I'm gonna copy in my sentence, cleanse the skin with aloe vera wipes, right? Okay? And it's a little bit big. So I'm gonna go to the size here. You see where it's a size, make that a little bit smaller. Okay? And now I wanna bring it down, right? So I'm gonna go to settings and you can see the position. So again, whenever you are not sure about something, click on it. You're not gonna break anything.  Don't worry, okay? So if, and once you make changes, you undo to go back to the previous state, okay? So position, let me see, what is that? Yeah, I wanna move to position, right? I wanna move this title from the middle of the screen down, position. Oh, that's left and right. So I'm just gonna stop that. I wanna undo or I could just highlight this and type zero. Zero will take me back, all right? So X I just learned was left and right. What about Y? Oh, Y is up and down. That's what I need. I'm gonna go down. So I'm gonna drag the Y parameter down. Okay, about there looks good, right? Okay. And whenever you see a red line here, that means the Vinci Resolve needs to make that file. It needs to make this title with that sentence, cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. And you can see that red line has turned blue, which means that it's done, okay? That's called rendering. It had to render that title, okay? So now if I play it, there it is, okay? It seemed a little short, right? And we have ESL students. I would like that title to linger, linger a lot longer, right? So what I'm just gonna do is, I'm gonna grab the end of that title and just drag it out. See? I'm just gonna drag it out, make it longer. And as you can see, that red line came back because the Vinci Resolve has to render that title again, which means that it has to create that file and you can see it turning blue, okay? Oh, can I ask you a question? Sure. Can you move the title in the preview window by clicking on it to activate it and then using your arrow keys up, down, left, right? Well, let's try it. Hold on. Oh, yeah, yeah, okay. Linda, good question. It doesn't appear that you can't because that your left, right arrows are mapped to this timeline. Okay, for example, if I, you see the time head here, if I hit my left arrow, this moves one frame to the left. Can you see that? So arrow keys are shortcut for the cursor moving back and forth. Right, right, okay. So if I move my left arrow, it moves one frame to the left. If I move it to the right, it moves one frame to the right. If I click the down arrow, it jumps to the next edit. Watch, down arrow, next edit. Down arrow, next edit. Up arrow goes back one edit, okay? So that's what the arrow keys do. But you can drag, you can type in a number here, okay? You can type in a position number or you can hover over it and just drag. You see that? Okay, thank you, got it. As you can see, when you hover over it, you can see the double arrows, right? Is that visible? Okay, that's good, that's good. Okay, so again, so here it is. The vision result is writing, is rendering this title, is turning blue, okay? And notice how easy it was to make it longer. Make it stay on screen longer for your ESL students. Just pull the tail, okay? Cleanse the skin with aloe vera wipes. And it stays there. Your ESL students have time to read it, right? Okay, so, hey, that looks pretty good, but look, we made our edits, we added a title. What else do we need visually? Does a video ever start like that? No, you need a transition, right? You need, usually it's fade up from black, right? Look, if I hover my cursor on the upper left corner of the screen, you can see there's a little white dot there. I'm gonna drag that out, okay? And that creates a transition, okay? That creates a, or, listen, I'm just gonna undo. I'm gonna undo, and now I'm back to my state, okay? So that's one way, just pulling this little red white square or I can go to my effects library. And I go to video transitions. Oh, maybe not that one. My video transitions disappeared. Oh, you know why? Because I still have this dark box text here, okay? Let me delete that, and there it is, okay? So it was stuck on dark box text, okay? So once I cleared my search box, look at, look at all these effects you have available to you. Okay, so if I just hover over it with my cursor and go left and right, you can see I get a little preview, right? This is the drop warp. Look what happens. That's funky, right? Look at film strip. Hey, that's kind of cool. Look at that. So I get little previews. I don't have to do anything. I'm just moving my cursor over each effect. But now if I wanna try it, I'm gonna drag, film clip over here from strip, drop it there, and then let me play it. Okay, that was kind of cool, but it's a little too dramatic for my students, right? So cross dissolve is the classic, right? Cross dissolve, okay? Right, that's nice and simple, right? And look, the cross dissolve is about one second. If you hover over it, you can see it's here, right? You can make it dissolve longer or shorter just by pulling left or right, okay? All right, so just a recap. Again, we don't need the effects, titles. I'm just gonna close this so that we have, and I'm gonna close the inspector. And now I have my project here. Look, so we've added our clips. We've added a title and we've added a transition, okay? Now, what do we need? We need the voice over narration, okay? So we're on the edit page. I'm gonna go to the Fairlight page. Look at the bottom. I'm gonna go to the Fairlight page. You can see the clips here, right? I'm gonna go to my video. And I'm gonna, this is gonna be a lot for you to remember. So again, right now I'm just gonna show you how I've put together this project. You're not supposed to remember all of this. It's a little technical, I understand, but I wanna record narration. So I'm gonna add another track, a soundtrack. I'm gonna choose mono. I'm gonna double click on this. I'm gonna call it narration, okay? So I'm gonna call it narration. And I have to assign. I have to assign the audio coming in to go to this track. So the audio coming in, my mic is gonna come in on line one. And I want it to go here, narration, right? That's what I named. That's what I named this, okay? I'm gonna click patch, and I'm gonna close this, okay? And in order to record, I have to click this R, our arm for record. You can see that, that means ready. Arm means ready. And then you could hear, I'm getting feedback right now because I'm speaking to the mic and it's coming back from my computer system. But here I can adjust. I can adjust my microphone level, okay? And when I'm ready, I'm just gonna click this circular dot here, okay? I'm gonna turn off my computer while I record, okay? Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. Okay, so let's listen to that. Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. Maybe I'm not happy with that delivery. I'll try another one. Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. I'll try one more. Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. Okay, turn that off. Okay, so I did three different versions, right? And if I open it up, they're all here. Let me change their color so that we could identify them better. This one is a, remember, this is something that you could always do to better identify your clips, okay? Change their colors, okay? So listen, let me listen to each one. Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. So it's always gonna play the one on top. If I wanna audition this one, I'm just gonna switch it to the top, bring it up to the top. Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. Okay, that one sounded a little pretentious, so I'm not gonna use that one. Let me try the pink one. Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. Okay, I think my favorite was the blue one, right? Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. Okay, as you can see, that was the best I could do. I'm not an actor, so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna turn down the volume of these two by dragging this line, as you can see the audio, you can see the audio waveforms just disappear as I pull it down. So now all I have is this. Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. Okay, so now I'm gonna go back. I'm gonna go back to the edit page. Let me direct your attention to the bottom of the page by clicking edit, I'm back here. And look, my audio track is here. You know what, I'm gonna delete this one. And I'm gonna delete this one, okay? And let's hear it in the context of the video and the title, okay? Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. Okay, so the voice came away before the title, right? The title is here. And what I can do is I can drag this over, see? To time it better. So I know that if you remember, my titles need to animate up. They animate up and here they go. And the first time we see the word is, oh, let's try that. Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. And the title stay on screen for my ESL students. Maybe I'll even make them a little bit longer, right?  They need time to read, okay? All right? So, all right, what about some music? Okay, this piece could use a little music, right? Okay, so remember the media page. This is where we brought in our media, right? Our videos, right? All of my hard drives are here. But there's an even easier way, believe it or not. So I'm working in the edit page. I'll open my media pool and I could just drag stuff right into here, okay? So I'm gonna find my hard drive.  And I like this song here. Stepping something to the top, okay? So, in order to bring this file into my DaVinci Resolve project, I'm just gonna drag it in. I click on it. I'm gonna drop it right into the media pool. And now the song is here, okay? Guess what? I forgot to show you this. You could resize things. So I can make the window smaller to have more real estate down here to work with, okay? So I have my song. In order to use the song, I'm just gonna drag it in. And there it is. You can see the sound waves, okay? And just like, just as with the transition here, you can see there's a little tab here.  Okay? So I have some music. I have my titles. I have the video and, but I couldn't hear my voice, right? Because the music was too loud. So this is where the next phase is called sound mixing, right? Sound mixing is when you balance all the audio elements that you have in a feature film. What does that mean? There's dialogue. There's music. There's sound effects. Sound effects could be, you know, street ambience, birds, cars passing by and the sound mixer's job is to balance all those elements so that you can hear them all and they contribute to the feeling and atmosphere of the scene, but you can still hear the dialogue. So you can see this white line here that runs from left to right on top of the sound clip. I'm just gonna drag that down to reduce the volume and let's see how that sounds. Cleanse the face. Still a little too loud, right? Maybe go a little bit softer, okay? Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. So that worked, right? So I'm gonna, that song is very long. I'm just gonna make it shorter, okay? And so far, this is what we have, okay? Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. Okay, so quickly, need to move a little bit quicker now. We have our edit. We have our title. We have our narration and music and we've balanced them out, okay? Now I'm gonna go to the color page. Color page is here, okay? And remember, this is what DaVinci Resolve was famous for, okay? Six, at least 60% of everything you see on TV and in the movie theaters are color graded and corrected by DaVinci Resolve. So what does that mean? So first you're gonna color balance. Simply to do that, let me direct your eye to this corner here. You see that eyedropper? You see the eyedropper?  Anywhere here that you want to be white. I want this board to be white. As soon as I click, you see how it neutralized the colors? I don't know if that comes through on Zoom, but I'm gonna undo. This was the state of the video, okay? I'm gonna grab my eyedropper tool and just click here. And now it's neutralized. And for me, that looks a lot more natural, okay? And I wanna boost it just like, wait, let's go back to the page, color. So essentially we did this, right? There was a little yellow cast and we made it neutral, okay? And now we're gonna do a color boost, okay? We're gonna do a color boost. The color boost feature is on the lower left corner. Do you see it here? And I'm just gonna raise it a little bit. Listen, if you're ever not sure of what to do, go all the way so that you can see clearly what that feature does and then you can pull back, okay? So don't go up incrementally and try to figure out what it does. Go, oh my God, oh, that's what it does, right? So now I'm gonna pull back. I'm gonna pull back. Look, you could have this kind of look or something warmer like that, okay? Actually, I'm gonna undo that. Okay, so I wanna reset that. I'm gonna double click on color boost to reset that. Okay, so when I double click, these numbers turn to zero. That means reset, okay? These things here are called nodes, okay? I want to create a new node and I wanna put the color boost here, okay? Oh, that looks nice. Look at her face. That looks nice, right? Nice skin color on her face, right? I'm gonna turn off this color node and you can see how nice her face looks now, right? It might be a little strong. I could pull it back a little bit, okay? Now I'm gonna add another node. Right now I'm just showing you, this is a little bit advanced, but I'm just gonna show you what the Vitia Resolve is famous for, okay? Let's work, because this is about makeup, she's gotta have beautiful skin, right? So let's work on her skin, right? We balanced the frame with white. We add a little color boost. Now I'm gonna select her skin by choosing this eyedropper, okay? And right now you can see I just selected her skin, okay? And whatever I do now is only gonna affect her skin, nothing else. For example, if you wanna test it, I'm just gonna drag this color wheel to blue. You can see it's just gonna affect her face because I've selected only her face and masked everything else out. I'm gonna undo that, okay? Instead of adding color, I'm gonna go to my effects by opening here, open effects. I'm gonna type in something called beauty and it's right here, okay, beauty. And I'm gonna crank up the amount. Okay, can you see how her skin has smoothened out? I'm gonna, okay? So her skin, if you ever wonder why those movie stars and singers on music videos and movies have such wonderful skin, this is one reason why, okay? So look, I have these three nodes here and do I have to do the same thing for these two? That's a lot of work, right? No, so I'm just gonna copy them over. I'm gonna highlight this, I'm gonna highlight this and I'm gonna click my middle mouse button and look what happened, look what happens. Now those three nodes are over here now and if I want to take a look at this mask, look. It has adjusted itself for these two shots and if I look at these two shots, look how nice her skin looks, okay? Look, her skin is practically glowing, right? Okay, so if I go back to the edit page by clicking on the bottom here, this is what we have so far, okay? Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. Okay, so what I would do now, that's just the first step, right? I would go through and continue in the same manner with each step of that lesson, okay? And just as with the color enhancements, you can copy the effects over. Learning those tips will help you move more, work more quickly and smoothly, okay? So here, one thing is I'm gonna need to make another title, right? So if I hold option, if I hold option on my Mac, I don't know what the equivalent is on the PC but it's a similar function, okay? Alt is called alt. Okay, thank you, Linda, thank you for coming today. So hold option on the Mac or alt on the PC and just hold it down and just drag it. Look, you're automatically making another copy. And then now I can just go into the inspector and write in my new, and copy, I don't even like to type, right? I'm just gonna copy here, protect the face with vitamin cleanser, whoops, okay? So those little tips, I'm gonna delete this. Those tips will help you work a lot faster, right? I didn't spend any time typing because I had my list up, right? I just copied and pasted the text in. Okay, so right now we have to output this. So we've made our video, okay? I'm gonna go to this deliver page. Look at the bottom of the screen. Deliver is where you're gonna output your video, okay? I'm gonna call it a name. I'm gonna say aloe vera, okay? I'm gonna browse to the location that I want to save it in, okay? I'm gonna browse, I'm gonna save it to my desktop, okay? Save and add to render queue. So it's here, okay? Oh, one thing I forgot to tell you that's really, really cool, okay? I'm gonna go back to the edit page, go to file and quick export. If I choose quick export, look, I could set up my YouTube account and it will, I could set up my YouTube account and it will make the video and upload it directly to my YouTube account. My Vimeo account, my Twitter account, I could set up, sign in and set it up whereas it'll write the video and upload it to all these accounts at the same time. Isn't that amazing? Okay, so again, I wanna cancel out. I'm going to deliver, remember, I'm at the deliver page, right? Everything looks good. I click add to render queue. The queue is the line of all your projects. Remember, rendering means writing the project. I'm gonna click render all. So now, once I click render all, it's gonna make the video. So you can see that green line, the progress bar advancing to the right, okay? And again, so far my Mac's been working out okay and it's the old one, it's eight years old, okay? Done, look at that. So now, ah, the video's here. Oh, here it comes. Cleanse the face with aloe vera wipes. Okay, so that is a little sample of what DaVinci Resolve can do. Right now, I'm just gonna show you the completed video that I actually made for my class, okay? So this was the actual video that I made using all of the clips and going through all the steps in the video. The lesson that my students did, it took them 40 minutes to do the home makeup process. The final video is four minutes in the professional world, they call that a 40 to one shooting ratio, right? Like imagine a two hour movie, they will shoot thousands of minute, I mean, you know, hundreds of hours of footage to make a two minute to two hour video, right? So I'm gonna let you watch that video that we made. Okay, it's right here. Oh, we don't see the video. Cleanse the skin with aloe vera wipes. Wait. Protect the face with... I chose share screen and... Oh, here, so, okay, I got it, I got it, I got it. Here it is. Cleanse the skin with aloe vera wipes. Protect the face with vitamin cleanser. Cover blemishes with color corrector. Accentuate facial features with color contour. Brush eyebrows with powder and gel. Eye eyeshadow and blend. Brush the eyelashes with mascara. Apply lip liner. Apply blush to the cheeks. Okay, so now you have a video that you can use for your class. You can use to... You can use to promote your class. You can use it in your class. You can put it on the internet. And also, that's not the end of it. You can take out little clips and put it in your school's learning management system. For at LAUSD, we use Schoology for a variety of exercises. Let me show you real quick, okay? So I've broken up the clips, okay? Here's something called makeup steps, okay, that I made with the video. Can everyone see my screen? Okay, so the video is here. I just took a part out of the video. I don't wanna play the whole video, just about a minute and there's no sound. But the students are supposed to watch this video and put the steps that they see in the correct order. You see how you can drag these steps? Okay, so it's an ordering sequencing exercise, okay? So I just took a portion of the video and the cool thing is, look, the video can keep on playing while you move these steps into the order, okay? So I'm gonna quit out of this. And here's another exercise that I've made. I took little clips from that video along with the sound and created a matching exercise. So here are our video clips that are just a few seconds long and I have four audio clips at the bottom. Oh no, okay, okay, well, this is embarrassing. Okay, what's supposed to happen is that there are those audio clips and the student drags the clip next to the video to match what they see. Okay, that's just irritating, technology, right? I rehearsed that about five times and it worked fine until the time came to demonstrate. Doesn't that always happen? Okay, so listen. Hey Paul, Paul, sorry. So here's the chance to redeem yourself. So in Schoology, what's the, Kora is asking, what's the name of the exercise maker? Does that activity have a name, that matching activity that we just saw? Yeah, let me show you. Yeah, first you create a lesson and then you choose matching here. Okay, you choose matching and then you can import a text, audio, video, pictures. Hey look, it's just slow. Okay, so you would put something here on the right, like I clicked here, video player, upload video and I put my YouTube link here, okay? I put the, so I put all the video on this side and I put the audio. I'll click here and I put, I upload audio and then I would upload the MP3 here and then on the bottom, you would set up the answers. Okay, so that is really, really irritating. I can't believe this. I did it like five times, really, is that for real? This is an outrage, but okay, so listen. What's next? Okay, let me share my screen again. Can you guys see my PowerPoint? Yes. Yes. Okay, so what kind of videos can you make for your class? You can make a graduation video. You can make a video of your students talking about their goals, okay? You can make your students, you can make a video of your students talking about their challenges, okay? You could have your students send you video clips that you put together and put on your learning management system. It's up to you, okay? The possibilities are endless, okay? So what's next? Okay, I'm going to put what I call the quick start guide into the chat, okay? So go to Black Magic Design, download and install DaVinci Resolve, okay? Real easy. Follow this quick start guide that I'm going to put in the chat for in a minute, okay? Look at the training resources. Start learning with an open mind, okay? Be fearless. Remember, try things. You're not going to break anything. You can always undo, okay? And practice, okay? And if you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me, okay? I'll be happy to hear from you, okay? Whether you're doing good or maybe, you might be a little frustrated, reach out to me, say, Paul, I don't get it, okay? And tell me why, and I'll do my best to help, okay? So right now, open your chat window. I'm going to put that document, the quick start guide into the chat window so that you can download it, okay? All right? And one thing I wanted to show you about this, okay, so look, some of these links are highlighted, some aren't, but they all work. If I click on Black Magic Design, it takes me, not even to that front page, but right to the download page, okay? See, here we go, right? Download right here, okay? We did not go to the homepage, so these links work, okay? So these are short, easy tutorials to get started, okay? These are links to those same videos that I showed you on the Black Magic Design website, but to the YouTube account instead. And this is really cool, let me explain why. I'm going to click on this YouTube link, okay? It's going to take me to those same videos, but instead of coming from the Black Magic Design's website, they're on YouTube, and why is this cool? Look. Hi, I'm Paul. I'm going to show more. Here, I can download the video files to follow along with the video just like the website, but it breaks down what you're going to learn at what part of the video. So if you say, hey, I just want to figure out how to add a transition, I'm just going to click here and it's going to go right. So I'm going to go out. It's going to go to that moment, okay? So that's a really cool feature, all right? So, hey, it's 429. I guess I could tell the bosses at O-10 that Anthony, tell them Paul finished on time, okay? So, okay, unmute right now. And Anthony was kind enough to say that he wouldn't mind staying for a few more minutes because, but right now it's the therapy session, okay? I hope you guys are feeling okay. Everybody take a deep breath. I know I'm going to have a happy hour drink after this. That was a lot, right? Let's be honest, was that a lot? Gloria, was that a lot? How do you feel? I think it's doable. I just probably need to go step by step on that. Right, Gloria, it is doable because if you really paid attention to what I actually did, I just clicked and dragged things, right? Yeah. I clicked and dragged and adjusted things. There was no computer coding, nothing that was, right? When I flipped that video, remember, I used my middle school math, 180 degrees, right? Yeah, that worked, right? And I grabbed transitions from the window and just dragged it right on top of my clip. I dragged the titles out, right? I copied, I didn't even do any typing. I copied and pasted from my Word document right into DaVinci Resolve. So remember, it's like a Microsoft Word. I'm just gonna choose my favorite font. I'm gonna choose the size. I'm gonna start typing. I'm gonna choose middle align, left align, right? And I'm done, right? You just use what you need.  Remember, what do they say? The journey of 1,000 miles begins with the first step, okay? Just keep that philosophy in mind. Remember our grade school fairy tale, the tortoise and the hare, right? Keep all these fundamentals in mind as you take your first step, you know? And good luck, okay? Remember, this is a part of the amazing time that we live in, that sometimes we forget about. Remember when we were growing up, there were only like four TV stations, right? ABC, NBC, CBS, and then your local station, right? Now you can make something and put it on YouTube and it could be viewed all over the world. So now this software sophisticated application that is being used at those fancy Hollywood studios that charge $500 an hour is available to you. This is the amazing time that we live in and it's up to you whether you wanna learn it or not. You know what I'm saying? These tools are available to you and if you choose to buy the studio version, which you don't really need it, the only thing that advantage you would have for use that there are some more special effects, like that beauty effect I used, that's not gonna be in the free version, okay? But the 3D stuff, you know, you don't need any of that, okay? So these same tools that they're using to grade the Avengers, you know, those big budget movies you can use, I'm using to make my cosmetology video, you could use it to put together your student interviews, okay? So, you know, Anthony and I are here for three more minutes for questions, any questions? Paul, I have a question. So I know LAUSD is really, really careful about video release student signatures. So what is the first, are they signing some sort of permission granted for you first? Yes, yes. And in our school division, we have a standard document, you know, and students, they're happy to do it. There's never a problem. Okay, and then you're taking your personal cell phone and you're putting it onto your Mac. Is your Mac a school computer or is it a personal computer? It's my own, it's my own. Okay, okay. Cause I downloaded DaVinci the other day when I got the OTAN email and it's all on the school computer that I have. Oh, okay. So I just wanna make sure that I'm not, you know, I have to keep everything. I don't wanna put my personal cell phone onto my school computer. Okay, yeah, I get it, I get it. So for recording, how would you recommend I would do that then?  So you're gonna have to ask the school for a camera. Uh-huh, okay. Right? Okay. Okay. Yeah, so see with Screencastify, I can record directly from that program. So there's no way you can record videos from this. No, you can record with your Screencast and bring that video file. There you go, there you go. Excellent, there it is. That's what I needed. I need some brain time. Usually those cameras are not that good. Yeah, yeah, I get it. So get your administrator to buy a video camera for your school, okay? For your faculty, for the team. And, you know, for like $1,500, you can get a great camcorder these days.  Okay.


Earlier, we looked at the general state of stress in three dimensions that can be described by this 3x3 matrix shown here. Now luckily for us, a lot of engineering problems can be simplified to a two-dimensional stress state. So this 3x3 matrix here simplifies to a 2x2 matrix. But that's still four whole numbers we have to deal with, and that's a lot for most engineers, so let's see if we can simplify this further. We will start by illustrating this two-dimensional stress state on an infinitesimal element as shown here. The infinitesimal element has a width of dx, a height of dy, and it also has a thickness of dz coming in and out of the screen, although we are drawing a projection view in this case. We're going to look at the interrelationship between the different stress components by examining equilibrium of this infinitesimal element. We will do this first by looking at normal stresses on their own and then at shear stresses. Here we have redrawn our element with only the normal stresses applied. Let's look first at horizontal force equilibrium. If we look at some of the forces in the horizontal direction with the right direction being positive, we know they have to sum to zero. If we look at the right face of this element, we know that the area of it is that height dy times the length dz in and out of the screen. Thus we have a force component equal to sigma x times dy times dz. That has to be balanced by the stress sigma x on the opposite side of the element acting on area dy times dz. So we get exactly this being equal to sigma x times dy times dz, which tells us that sigma x on the right side of the element has to equal sigma x on the left hand side of the element. If we look at vertical force equilibrium, we get a very similar result in the sense that sigma y at the top of the element has to be equal to sigma y at the bottom of the element. Now we have one last equilibrium to look at, and that's moment equilibrium. However, this is trivial for this problem in the sense that we can pick a point A in the center of the element through which all of the resultant forces act through, and if we take some of the moments about this point, then it's automatically equal to zero. Thus we conclude that normal stresses are independent. Let's repeat the same exercise for the general state of shear stress. If we look at horizontal and vertical force equilibrium, we get a very similar result as for normal stresses. If you sum the forces in the horizontal direction, we find out that the shear stress at the top of the element, tau xy at the top side of the element, must equal tau xy at the bottom side of the element. And similarly, for vertical force equilibrium, tau yx at the right side of the element has to equal tau yx at the left side of the element. However, moment equilibrium is slightly different. We can't actually pick a point where the resultant forces all act through. So we will look at some of the moments about the bottom left corner, point A as labeled on your screen. Now the resultant due to tau xy at the bottom and tau yx at the left side pass through this point, so we only have to deal with the other two shear stress components. So if we look at tau xy at the top surface, it acts on area dx times dz and has a moment arm dy. This has to be equal to shear stress tau yx acting on the right of the element on area dy times dz multiplied by moment arm dx. Now what we get out of here is that tau xy has to equal tau yx. The area times moment arm cancels out in the moment equilibrium. Thus we see that shear stresses are not independent. So there we have it. If we apply a shear stress in one plane, it must be accompanied by an equal magnitude shear stress in the orthogonal plane in order to maintain moment equilibrium. We call this the complementary shear stress. And we have shown it for equilibrium in two dimensions, but it also works in three dimensions.
