10 Tips To Get You Started with DaVinci Resolve!

[@Ichdenkeeinbisschen]

We SERIOUSLY NEED MORE Davinci resolve tutorials!

[@ItsbeenPhill]

AMEN

[@makasii]

1 million YESSes

[@pmc3772]

please yes

[@opticallens1067]

Please yes !!!!

[@korso_s]

I have never seen a video editing tips video this useful! I've been using Davinci for like 2 years but never learnt to set it up properly because I rarely do editing. This video will save me hours for my next project!

[@omergulcu]

Shortcuts Mentioned S - Split Clip D - Delete Selected W - End to Playhead Q - Start to Playhead 3 - Swap Clips Towards Left 4 - Swap Clips Towards Right A - Select Clips Forward on All Tracks 1 - Zoom In 2 - Zoom Out Personal Note I find the key A to be useful when switching from Trim Edit to Normal Edit mode so I assigned Select Clips Forward on All Tracks to the key E instead.

[@toddjal]

Appreciate the insight! Just from a pure letter persective, I wonder if it would make more sense to have Edit swapping to E, and All Tracks selection to A though?

[@DotsOnYTLive]

A is a life saver

[@omergulcu]

@@toddjal that makes sense too

[@unlockthepicture]

thanks! I only notice a lot of errors when I try to bind these shortcuts to my key. Most of them saying the key is already bound to another shortcut.

[@omergulcu]

@@unlockthepicture me too. I’m new so I don’t have a lot of experience but I think the other shortcuts for these keys are not used very often so I just disable them

[@Slattwilliams]

It would be a shame if he’s not back in the next videos giving us more tips he obviously told us several times he enjoys doing this and we have to support him supporting us

Try some punctuation. You may actually like it.

[@onevlogger_]

Haha, yes!

[@manav9616]

These days his videos are just about promotions

[@soundscape26]

@@StockAndFinish Total stream of consciousness. 😄

[@styleandbeautydirect]

The two of you together is so fun no matter what you’re doing. We need more of BOTH of you in every video. Like maybe we could hear Kirk from behind the camera more like Peter was doing in this one. 😎

[@ayoubsabri4461]

We do 😅😊

[@mowsertas]

I love this 😂

[@TrustinTimber]

YES!!! Thank you Captain. Best DaVinci Resolve video I’ve ever watched. We’ll actually the only one I even finished watching. Please keep them coming Kirk. My wife and I really appreciate it.

[@aydenpeters]

THIS IS GOLD! WE MUST HAVE KIRK NEXT MONTH FOR ANOTHER DAVINCI VIDEO! This was actually so helpful! Amazing guys 🤩

[@pegcity8bit]

Love seeing Kirk on camera! As someone who's new to the talking head space, it really puts into perspective that a "perfect video" is just a million cuts to create a seemless video

[@JasonYadlovski]

Happy to see you and Pete are using Resolve and bringing more awareness to the program! You guys rock! Keep on making awesome videos!

[@twofoldfilmhouse2037]

I honestly never thought I would ever see a heavy hitter like PMK using Davinci Resolve like. He was such a purist Adobe fan boy lol. But ya I am happy that DVR is getting the attention it deserves.

[@TRAHEDRON3]

Hey Guys, This video has been by far the single most useful knowledge for a beginner. I have only recently started editing and I've only used Davince Resolve for around 40-50 hours now. In that time I have had to ask a lot of questions that I don't even know how to phrase because I don't know editing terms for them. This video has so greatly explained these concepts and really useful hotkey binds. Just by implementing the hotkeys into my work flow, it's just so well expedited my production. Thank you very much!

[@markelliott6112]

this was gold. As someone who is considering starting to use DaVinci - I loved these simple tips. Incredible

[@jeandrebadenhorst]

I've been editing on Resolve for 2 years now and ONLY TODAY, you made my life so much easier! Thanx for the tip on the Blanking Fill FX. Highly appreciated Captain!

[@JoshHanes]

Love seeing more creators using DaVinci Resolve!

[@MatthewGPhotography]

I’ve just started my photography KZbin channel and I use DaVinci to edit. I can’t tell you the amount of time all these tips will save me. Literally everything you pointed out has slowed me down so this is a HUUUUGE help!

[@TimVels]

WE NEED MORE! Seriously, that swap technique and the blur background option on a single click, was epic!

[@DutchDiederik]

Consider making this a recurring theme. I've been playing around with Davinci for a year now and the sheer amount of features is daunting. Videos like this are super helpful.

[@gbgr2649]

How’s it going so far?

[@stewsview5164]

I love Kirk because he is genuine. His authenticity is what keeps me watching. More next month please! =)

[@AnthonyHadleyJr]

I've been using Davinci for a few years now, but these shortcuts are definitely an upgrade to my workflow. Thanks!

[@olsonspeed]

I am leaving Adobe forever for all the obvious reasons, I appreciate these DaVinci tutorials and find them very helpful. Kirk is pure gold, he deserves a salary bonus for the on camera work.

[@manuelfernandez1341]

this are the best Davinci tips in the internet. keep doing this every month. we need it!

[@TheHardrada]

Just made the switch from adobe premiere to DaVinci Resolve myself and haven’t looked back since! really happy you are starting to share your tips on it. Feel like we are all learning together🏴‍☠️

[@itsathingimagery]

I’ve been using Resolve for a year now and still learned a bunch from these tips! One thing to do about the smart rendering too would be to set your cache location (or at least know where it is) so your computer doesn’t start hoarding the media. If it’s on your computer, check your storage every few months, and if it seems jacked up for no reason, it’s probably the cache growing to unprecedented sizes 😅

[@BOKBrand]

Dude!!!! Just started with resolve yesterday, this video was right on time. My first session was time consuming, frustrating, and clunky. These tips alone got me re-motivated to hop back in.

[@kevinmallick7742]

Leaving a comment for Capt. Kirk. You crushed it dude. I need more of these. I am just starting out with true video editing and I learned more in this 9-minute video than so many 30-minute tutorials that just don't hit the important stuff like you did. Well done. More please 🤣

[@UltimateTechHub]

I've been using resolve for about 4 years! I love the software! Thanks for another great and inspiring video Pete!

[@cdscissor]

GOD DAMN, those shortcuts are GOD tier useful. As a DaVinci user, I'm ashamed of myself for not digging into that myself!

[@avdpost]

Give Group Grades a try too! You can group scenes or cameras however you like, and do colour transforms after clip adjustments and noise reduction before. So you can tie the look of a scene to the group while allowing you do clip level adjustments before the look and transform luts are applied, maintaining access to all of your colour information.

[@jordantaylor3d]

I'm getting close to finishing my first major project at work all within Davinci. The one thine that is really intimidating is color correcting. I've been so used to Lumetri in Premiere, that coming over to Davinci is a bit overwhelming. I would love to see tutorials on color correcting if you're looking to do more Davinci content!

[@atiqurrehman9285]

Everybody has their own style of color grading. Now I am confused about where to learn color grading in Davinci. Can you give some suggestion, please?

[@Azunaii]

I can highly recommend Cullen Kelly's work here on KZbin. He's a fantastic teacher, very elaborate yet to the point explanation of how to do color correction and grading, including node setup and color spaces. Got me up to speed in no time after having gone around watching all kinds of random YT videos. He has everything playlisted for convenience.

[@RGMGFitness]

Right there with ya! Finished and struggled through my 2nd project last night. I’ll get there…baby steps for now. 👍👍👍

[@christianacosta630]

Hey Jordan! How do you go about creating/saving project files to a external SSD? From what ive seen Davinci just likes to have one whole library filled with project files but the OCD freak in me isnt enjoying this haha. I'm used to the simple project file creation like in premiere - any tips?

[@SameerN23]

You've given me more pro tips than every other "pro" tutorials. I'm an industry editor switching over, so I need this.

[@kylehuntxr]

Didn’t think it could get funnier but you two together doing this was just money 😂 Got me pumped to learn DaVinci also that new space is INSANE

[@zelkuth]

I know right?!!! Me too!

[@twofoldfilmhouse2037]

I just hope Mattie isn't reading all these comments saying its great seeing them together making him feel bad lol Hey Mattie if you are reading this.......*fart noise*

[@soundscape26]

Yes, casually dropping the first video at his new studio. It looks amazing.

[@pbsnoosk13]

The two of you made a sponsor fun!! Love it! More Kirk! Love you, Pete!!

[@JonathanBradysouth-africa]

The new updates along with voice isolation are making Adobe shiver. It's also becoming more intuitive to use. So glad we have so many Blackmagic cams at the office too! Great episode again kirk. Looking forward to seeing more of you boet!

[@alexanderbelice231]

Been editing on Da Vinci Resolve for 12 years, it's good to see people finally recognizing what is the best color grading/editing system... even better than Avid Media Composer.

[@katlis]

Love how Peter and Matti have switched to Resolve at the same time, after all these years. And I'm guessing it's because of Kirk showing them the light. I need more Kirk videos.

[@Marcnice193]

Big giant thank you!!! I have been trying to figure out how to color grade the entire track instead of applying grade to each clip… would have never thought it was the remote grading option there! You just got a new subscriber. Thanks again guys.

[@MichaelBuilds]

Thank you SO MUCH for making this video! Need your guidance to master Davincci! KEEP’EM COMIN’ !

[@christiantheimprovguy1769]

This video made me switch. I don't know why it pushed me over the edge, but I'm so glad I did. Apple updated their video codex a few updates ago, and I had been having a hell of a time getting Adobe Premier Pro to recognize my footage any time I tried to inport a MOV file. My work arounds had got so convoluted. I hadn't considered just leaving Adobe. But hearing your experience was all the encouragement I needed. And can I just say, DaVinci Resolve is soooooooo much better! My goodness, how did I not make this switch before?! It's so much easier and more powerful. My workflow it so much faster. Anyway, thank you Kirk for posing about DaVinci Resolve. You changed my life for the better in such a major way. Thank you. I hope you keep doing it.

[@PUCKYPACHECO]

Kirk: Don't click like on this video! Me: CLICK LIKE IMMEDIATELY

[@shellzrl4179]

reverse psychology

[@robinonyoutube]

This was literally the most helpful yet shortest Video on Davinci Resolve tips i‘ve ever watched, HUGE thanks! And please, MORE!!!

[@Syntopikon]

This was legit helpful. Especially Blanking FIll and setting the frames for Dynamic Zoom.

[@VictorEdemSetordjie]

Ikr. I literally used the “premier method” yesterday. Didn’t know about this feature till now

[@DocuLearnTM]

Just created my first two short documentaries with it, and I have to say this video has helped me a lot, Thanks!

[@jager-fett]

This was super helpful but also very relaxing. Next project "Captain Kirk Mediation Tracks for Editors"!

[@DoctorSeitan]

I love seeing more creators jump over to Resolve. I never liked the thought of paying a subscription for an editor (even if I already do for Photoshop and Lightroom)

[@butler7135]

Petition for him to be back:

[@FlorianBaumer]

Man this feels like a guided meditation with the backround music but for DaVinci. We need more of that

[@the_mig]

The colors on this video were amazing ! I have a LOOOOONG way to go to get 10% on this level ..

[@naserharun3742]

simply my fav. chanel on youtube easily.

[@neilfullframe]

Kirk is so funny, you guys mesh well and yes WE NEED MORE RESOLVE VIDEOS. Seriously I’ve learned some cool and quick tips that I was doing manually and wasting time with. This is all kind of golden nuggets and very helpful

[@andrewbrown784]

Kirk's deadpan look is so good! Also, this was a highly practical how to on editing, even if that wasn't entirely the purpose of the video.

[@emanueleroggia342]

Capt. Kirk is the hero we deserve, not the one he wants to be anyway

[@BartillaAndPartners]

We love you Kirk! Seriously, these tips are worth gold in saving us a ton of time trying to figure out things....

[@StringerBell]

Wow, why nobody comments on this sweet anamorphic lens they've shoot the video with? Pete, cmon man, tell us what is the brand and the focal length?

[@soundscape26]

That and the new studio.

[@joshmoxey.]

Loving the Kirk videos 😂 you guys are a hilarious and awesome duo

[@aSimpleChat]

What a great team! Always good info and positive attitudes. Totally dig this channel.

[@wagnerdutra6568]

great action, you guys acts so natural and doing the job every spontaneously at the same time....loved it...

[@owenjenkinsofficial]

Love this super wide aspect ratio with the anemorphic lenses! Which lens are you using for this? Also, don't know about you guys but I have to be careful to clean out my prerender caches often, because Davinci wasn't auto deleting the caches after I'd finish and close the project, and ate my hard drive space like it was breakfast. Any tips would be great. I'm sure you can move it to a seperate drive with more space but I'd rather keep my caches fast on my NvMe drive.

[@tommydaynjer5334]

I'm always watching these kinds of things to help speed up my workflow in DaVinci and I gotta say mission accomplished here! That Ripple Delete is my new favorite!

[@ParadiseBiker]

I clicked like because you told me not to😅

[@kristen603NH]

I'd watch this dude all day. I'm totally new to Divinci, this is mostly all still over my head, but I'll revisit in a few weeks I will thank you again.

[@richardacevedo7154]

The pre render thing just blew my mind im soooooo grateful

[@SirWade]

There is no escape, Kirk.

[@DishwithChris]

I don't know what I would do if Kurt wasn't back next month. I have been using Davinci Resolve for the past few month's and you have shown me at least 3 things that I didn't know. Much appreciation.

[@thedarkslide]

I think this may be the best video ever put on Peter's channel.

[@bendeguzronai4568]

is it just me, or is the editing on this video extra juicy😮? keep it up Pete and Kirk, the chemistry and pacing in this video is sooooo amazing

[@stephenwinchell7313]

Love how Kirk is getting featured more in the videos. It just adds a brand new personality to the channel.

[@imranvasanwala]

Oh man gotta love Kirk. I'm just rewatching this again and seeing his comedy, amazing. But also the video is very very valuable and helpful

[@ryan_454]

Just started learning DaVinci this weekend-- these are all super help tips. Everyone of these helps clear up at least a minor annoyance I had.

[@IrinaLogra]

Thanks!

[@ForestKnight111]

captain Kirk has an amazing podcast/radio voice... clear and bold... definitely gonna need more Davinci Resolve tutorials

[@PBALLERAZ]
