# Doing Some Editing in DaVinci Resolve — Indie EN Vtuber

> Source: [Doing Some Editing in DaVinci Resolve — Indie EN Vtuber](https://youtube.com/watch?v=TUw6gdRUcws)

## Summary

An indie English Vtuber live-streams a casual editing session in DaVinci Resolve, transforming a PDF floor plan into story graphics while chatting about anime tropes, character backstories, and the quirks of video editing software. The stream is informal and rambling, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the creator's workflow rather than a structured tutorial.

### Key Points

- **Using Inkscape for PDF conversion** [03:51] — The floor plan is a PDF that can't be imported directly into the editing software, so the streamer opens a background copy of Inkscape to convert the file format and remove identifying metadata.
- **Evolution of conversion programs** [07:05] — The streamer notes that conversion programs often start small and gain features over time, comparing it to a proxy that evolved into a fully-fledged tool.
- **Anime dead mother trope** [14:26] — The character being used as a dead mother analogue is the mother of the Elric brothers from Fullmetal Alchemist, and the streamer points out the 'dead mother hairstyle' trope in anime.
- **Creating stand-in kids with Vroid** [15:15] — The streamer made the kids in Vroid to act as stand-ins for the movie, showing the use of character creation software for video production.
- **DaVinci Resolve update fixes node crash** [23:48] — After updating DaVinci Resolve, copying and pasting nodes between Fusion compositions no longer crashes the app, a notable quality-of-life improvement.
- **Keeping visual pace for attention** [29:35] — The streamer emphasizes changing visuals regularly to keep the viewer's attention, applying a key jangle effect to maintain engagement.
- **Children's perspective drawing** [42:22] — The house graphic is meant to resemble a 5-year-old's drawing from the children's perspective, tying the visual style to the story's emotional context.

### Conclusion

The stream ends with the creator taking a break from screen time, planning to resume offline. It's a raw, unfiltered look at the editing process of an indie Vtuber, valuable mainly for fans and those curious about the behind-the-scenes grind.

really like a generic lawyer. It's he's just perfect that way.
all I tend to use them for is converting from one file format to another. Aha. I've got Inkscape.
Ah. Floor plan.
You can't see this, but at the moment I am removing all the information that told tells you where I got this floor plan from.
So, now it just looks like a generic floor plan. And at point all the cool graphic stuff is bonus to the file conversion. Yeah.
Which started off as a proxy HTML allowed you to act as an SQL proxy.
So, and then evolved into becoming

That's worrying. Oh.
Ah. See? I'll have that join up there. Huh?
Take it down a fill. Up. Not 90, minus 90.
There it goes. Let's go back a frame.

if you did a copy and paste of nodes between bits of fusion, it would crash, but no longer, apparently.
Fix one bug. Here it Oh, there it goes.

Oh. Actually, my computer is Oh, there we go. Okay, things are catching up.
Now, what screen are we on? Uh.
