5 Things I'd tell me about Resolve - Beginners Welcome!

[@JoeMaranophotography]

Would love a video on settings.

[@daithi007]

That's a lot of work

[@mariotriforce]

It is alot of work, the manual isn't actually totobad in going over this stuff in my view

[@HelamanGile]

Yes

[@dcameron7736]

Just do the davinci resolve learning online 1. Courses on all pages 2. Provide you real 444 prores footage to learn with

[@dcameron7736]

If you're only in edit page vs cut page you're better off no using davinci resolve

[@PassionForLifeGallery]

I started using Davinci in Feb of this year. I'm 56 now and I had only used a couple other editors a few times. I new nothing about Resolve except that it was free. Man what a learning curve! I now can use all the pages, and I do use them all, including fusion. I have even made some macros. So thanks to this channel and others like it for putting this info out there. And never think that your video is too simple or that some explanation is too obvious. When you are starting out nothing is simple and nothing is obvious. And to those who are just getting into Resolve, hang in there, it gets easier!

[@lukerabin5079]

I’m getting a sense that BMD intended the cut page to be the sort of way a news editor, someone who’s cutting a story from a video package rather than a more traditional creative style of cutting. Sometimes if you’re stuck, just getting a quick assembly is a way to get unstuck. You’re a great teacher, Casey. Great work.

[@theartoframos]

The VERY Funny thing is that I thought I was the ONLY one to just stick with the edit module and the reasons why you friggen NAILED, I'm like damn dude this guy is reading my mind, that was kinda the 1st thing to make me go "damn I do, do that. maybe I should learn more like i wanted to long ago."

[@keithdennis5085]

Thanks! Yes, a more thorough tutorial on the "Settings" would be much appreciated. I always look forward to your videos; you've taught me a great deal about DaVinci Resolve which has been very useful.

[@jasonzdora]

A "settings for non-professionals" would be great. Like, explain the inside-baseball terms in plain language. Stuff like "proxy" is a whole other language to DIY learners.

[@jasonzdora]

@@vladtainapopa3417 I never thought of that. Youre a genius, Vlad. Im pretty sure this channel makes instructional videos for beginners. They dont make videos that say, "google it". They asked if we wanted a video about the settings menu. I framed it in a way that made sense for my level of understanding.

[@lukerabin5079]

In fairness, you guys get free access to an incredible tool set. Whether you like it or not, just as with any trade or specific profession, you have to learn some things to make it work. If you don’t want to do that, you might as well use something like iMovie. If you’re serious about making quality content, take a little time and learn how video actually works, tech stuff and all.

[@jasonzdora]

@@lukerabin5079 I totally agree but for many of us, this is a side thing that were learning and practicing with as much as possible already. There is a capacity to the "me time" in a day and a capacity to the amount of research that can be done without hitting diminishing returns. When someone makes content aimed at people like me, I give them feedback that makes sense for me. A video from Casey would take 10 to 20 minutes and would give me all of that information with time to spare for me to experiment with the parameters in order to solidify the concepts that interested me. It would also give me a reference I could come back to, as many of their videos have been for times when I forget specifics about workflow. Thats the whole point of this channel: to deconstruct the complexity of Resolve and make it accessible to the plebs that should be using iMovie instead, according to you.

[@lukerabin5079]

@@jasonzdora frankly yes, that’s all you need if you’re not serious. A huge number of us who started in the industry in the 80’s had to work with completely unaffordable equipment and we made peanuts, with the argument being made that this is how you learn. We had to borrow tech manuals, text books, white papers, trade magazines, etc to get the tech details, because video required a huge amount of technical understanding to make it work. It was flakey, lossy, and very difficult to get it working correctly. We still did it. You don’t need all that much technical knowledge to make a KZbin video. But, if you’re serious, you’ll do the learning. If you’re not serious, stay with something easy, and yes, that’s iMovie. Frankly you don’t sound like you’re serious about wanting to be more than a hobbyist and that’s fine. If you really want to be more than that, learn on your own dime and quit bitching. Ever thought about ploughing through the Resolve manual to read what’s in their? Grant Petty is one of the most intelligent men I know. He’s made more devices to liberate video from a multimillion dollar facility than any individual alive. He also believes in helping. Read the manual. What isn’t readily available in there is available online.

[@jasonzdora]

​@@lukerabin5079 Im not the one bitching here. Im answering the question asked by the person who made the video. You're here to gatekeep and sound resentful. I'll use this awesome free program all I want and read the manual when I have time. Until then, I'll keep looking for videos by creators like this when I hit a wall on something. Stay cool.

[@jonphebus6720]

2 years later, still so valuable. Thank you!

[@bdn9690]

Casey, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your tutorials on DR. They are so helpful and fun, you are my number 1 teacher. Thank you sooooo much!!!

[@theindiejurnee]

I am so new to editing and you were recommended to me....I already see why. This was already so helpful!

[@TheSoundofU]

just taking time to say thank you Casey. You & Alex convinced me a while back to move on from Magix Movie Maker. At first I was seriously intimidated by DR. It was to me like going from a Cesna Cockpit to a 747 Cockpit. BUT: I tried the free version of Davinci Resolve 17 & with your tutorials I became convinced to shift to DR. I have now purchased DR 17 & eagerly await the full version of Studio 18 when available. I will be back for more of your amazing tutorials. Big thank you. 📹😎

Thank you for your time learning people like me Resolve 😊👍🏻

[@theartoframos]

HAHAAA! Nice one! Great way to plug your own channel. "Here's 5 tips to learn, step 1 learn more about these 5 tips in my OTHER videos, why? I'll show you why and how good those videos are with THIS video!" so good, well done Intro/ad... cuz uh... well... dammit you got me now I wanna see your damn crash courses. LETS DO THIS!😆

[@Deankut]

7:36 YES! Settings Page Vid, Please! 🙏🏻

[@peterkinskofer6881]

Your site is a god send for beginners to Resolve. you got me up and running in no time with your crash course. Video on settings would be great. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@Subduality]

Thanks Casey, your tutorials are clear cut and informative! 🎬🎬

[@daithi007]

There are several very generous and skilled people like yourself on KZbin, but I really like the way you do it. I didn't even know Will Ferrell was an editor!

[@B-Moye]

Cut Page takes me back to when I first learned on Avid. I appreciate this breakdown. I'll be visiting this channel more as I continue to consider my jump to DaVinci from Resolve

[@embedded_tourist]

Your videos have helped me catch on to what I"m dealing with a great deal. It helps me orient in something deeper than I expected a year ago when I built this computer to run DaVinci on after deciding to pay for it. Good after sales, I hope they're sponsoring you.

[@DrBobMedia]

Hey, wanted to say thanks for all your great tutorials. I just upgraded to resolve studio and I am in the process of cutting my first feature film on it. You and Mr Alex Tech are my go to guys when I can't remember where something is that I know can be done. Keep up the great work.

[@kobboy007]

Also check out Billy Rybka's tutorials. They are awesome too. These 3 guys are my favorite on DR tutorials, but there are plenty of others too as DR getting more and more popular.

[@operatif1005]

The tip on create new timeline and cut page, perfect! Will go through the fusion tutorial and master the basic of it.

[@hardwin82]

great stuff mate, thx. I am stuck on the edit page for 6 months now, just recently I started to use the Color page but only a bit. This Fusion page scares me BUT you just motivated me! I am gonna watch that super long CRASH COURSE video of yours this weekend! hehe

[@RamblinMan1016]

As someone that is still a noob to Resolve this vid is definatley going to help a lot! Your one of my main go to tips channels for figuring stuff out. Keep up the fantastic work sir!

[@koalamusik]

That Multicam Stuff blew my mind! I'm making music videos, so if I recorded dozens videos of the same performance with different angles and locations, I could synch those automatically by matching the recorded audio! I was doing this manually till today, it takes ages. Thanks so much

[@tharealmb]

I always threw all my clips on the timeline in the edit page and from there cut it up. After setting good shortcuts that is quite doable. Now I see you, explaining the "source tape" feature and man it's exactly what I should have been doing all along! Why didn't KZbin recommend you to me sooner!

[@PartyPoliticalPuffin]

Great vid, as always. I couldn't agree more with Jason. A settings for non-pros would be great. I've been using DR for a yearish. To be frank, 90% of my understanding of editing has come from Casey's vids so a good understanding of what the settings are about would help me a lot. Anyway, thanks again. Another great video. I hope all of you are well and keeping safe. Cheers. Dave

[@HeresMo]

Your keyboard shortcuts took me back to a time before I got the speed editor. I can’t imagine editing without it anymore. I highly recommend it.

[@LogrusUK]

The Captain Planet Reference confirms my previous thoughts that you were awesome. Literally: brilliant.

[@edonave]

Yesss a video on settings would be awesome! Thank you for this one tho!

[@devtank]

I love the cut page. Its completely changed my everything.

[@triplewinlin5576]

I would love a deeper dive into settings. I am not sure about which things to adjust - or not to. Thanks, Casey!

[@GrantSR]

I often complain that you talk too fast and move too fast in your videos. But the pacing in this video was perfect. You sound like a normal person explaining stuff to a friend instead of a KZbinr trying to cram as many words as possible into each second.

[@stivosaurus]

You can reduce the playback speed if you find it hard to keep up. Easy peasy!

[@GrantSR]

@@stivosaurus Have you tried it? No you haven't. KZbin only adjusts in 25% increments. 75% speed is so slow it is even harder to make out what he's saying. Plus, slowing down a video still doesn't make up for the fact that ALL these KZbin-fast-talkers slur their words, leave words out, and say one thing while doing another, all in an effort to cram in as much not-actually-explaining as possible. They picked up that terrible habit way back when KZbin had time limits, and now they think that makes them a "more important" KZbinr, when it really just makes them irritating. And fanbois like you don't help when you go insulting the intelligence of people who simply don't think watching a KZbin video should be work. My degree is in computer science and education. All these KZbin-fast talkers are doing is increasing cognitive overload for no good reason. Unless, of course, fast-talking is a ploy to cover for the fact that they rarely actually explain what they are doing and why. Which makes it even more irritating.

[@callmemrbell]

Literally have landed paid work because of your channel. Thank you

[@EtherealProject3D]

You have been so helpful in my journey in learning Resolve, thank you for the work you do.

[@RobertPickeringBucketList69]

Wow! Lucky I stumbled by! You have opened a huge door and let the light pour in... love your sense of humour too!!

[@arfloctions5313]

I stayed till the end! 🤘🏽 Another rocking tutorial from the Bob Ross of Davinci Resolve. Totally impressed with that fusion example shown in just a few seconds. It's all about knowing where to click...and drag.

[@bc057]

Really love your short (relatively) but very useful tips that we encounter all the time for video editing

[@itspatriciaburton]

Literally editing my first ever KZbin video right now. This couldn't have come at a better time!

[@ziyaaddhorat]

Is it done yet?

[@AboutFocusTV]

Thanks Casey just starting out with Resolve and these points hit the spot. If you haven’t done so already would love to see a video describing & recommending Project settings. Many thanks Lionel

[@animaxxx4429]

Yes we need a video on best timeline settings for maximum performance and image quality !!!

[@markferrell2470]

Thanks Casey I’m getting into video editing and you are going to be a God send for me, easy to understand and you truly start at the beginning. I’m sure I’ll get use to it the only thing I noticed is you go pretty fast and sometimes I get lost. Like I said I’m sure I’ll get use to it and a million thanks for your time

[@CDReimer]

I never found the cut page to be useful until I got the Speed Editor keyboard that came with the license USB dongle. That's a very useful keyboard.

[@thatcherfreeman]

Same here. I'm not convinced I'm any faster with the speed editor, but it is a more enjoyable way to work with the program.

[@NJP76]

Same story here as well. I tried using the Cut page several times before I got the Speed Editor. Just couldn't make it work for me. Once I got the Speed Editor, the Cut page became my first line in editing videos. I can definitely say that workflow is much more quick now than before. Projects that would have taken the better part of a day to complete are now done in just a couple hours. But without the Speed Editor, the Cut page is kind of cumbersome to use.

[@PrimevilKneivel]

Nice video. I'm fairly new to Resolve but I've been using Fusion for 15 years. Currently I'm basically using Resolve to manage my Fusion shots. It's working great but I need to learn more. Thanks for making great content.

[@kyosaisho1]

Enjoyed it. Started using resolve for almost a year now and thanks to you I am getting better at it. And yes, I don't use the cut page too. But would definitely be using it now.

[@LoveChristJesus]

I just started using DaVinci and you are the guy for advice.Thanks!

[@OfficialCrystalSings]

I now have the Captain Planet theme stuck in my head. Also, I very much appreciate this video; thank you.

[@thediygrunt]

Definitely would love a video diving more into settings, what they mean and what they control! Also, a video on how to fix background noise ie. cars/loud insects/birds etc. This would come in handy for footage we can't reshoot 🙏

[@fingersmcginty]

Yes, a video on project settings and general overall settings I think would be very useful. It can be intimidating!

[@OwenNDawe]

Love your videos. The short title and intro is great. I wish the others who make tutorials left all the non relevant details details like their aunties sore throat to the end. Yes a video on settings when you get a chance please.

[@davidthompson3136]

Another excellent set of guidelines. Thanks for posting. 👍😎🇳🇿

[@strawberrymochiiz]

WHOA, cut and paste stuff is golden. I would add all the videos in edit and use the razor blade to cut and ripple delete. This is much better. The Razor and ripple delete help me match clips to music beats. I'm sure there is still a better way to do that.

[@ad_Benturing]

This is fun! I just started my vlogs using Davinci Resolve and this was SUPER helpful! More of this!

[@robertperham]

Davinci Resolve has a long history and in my opinion revolutionary for everyday users, best change ever from APP

[@auxsom]

Love your channel man. Keep it up. Massive help these videos are for us new davinci resolve folks.

[@Driver53Gaming]

Thank you for another great video sir. Fusion is intimidating but very fun once you get the hang of it.

[@KnoxIncorporated44]

Thanks Casey, your videos are helping this struggling creator a lot so far!

[@cosmos6034]

Your videos always make me smile Casey. Thanks for all the info you share. Agreed, a video on the settings would be helpful, especially if you can explain in layman terms the technical words for me 👌

[@bandhukapremawardhana1735]

Stayed all the way to the end man, so letting you know. Loved the video, struggling with switching over from Premiere to Resolve, this video helped a ton!

[@theyorkshiregamer9791]

I love your videos, they’re so helpful - and straight to the point! I just need a more up to date system, the fusion page crashes my Resolve 😅 so I have to skip over that page!

[@ColinKlupiec]

Thank you. I quite like your teaching style. Your videos are very helpful.

[@botdud]

These stuff really helped me. Awesome

[@jamesspaugh7654]

This is really good I find the video quite helpful!! You have my vote for more of these 👍😄

[@happinessninja6678]

Yes please! Make more videos like this. And thank you for all you're giving..

[@LeitmotifGallery]

Just downloaded it yesterday on my new Mac since I didn't want the pain of Premier anymore. Thanks a bunch. You earned a subscribe

[@c7designz-sa]

AWESOME totally enjoy your classes!!! Was only going to cut videos BUT NOW you have inspired me to go FUSION all the way!!! Creative Juices cooking!!!

[@ononearts]

Love your easy manner and clarity of instruction. I, too, would enjoy an in-depth tutorial on Resolve settings.

[@Alex_Ochoa]

Awesome! I just started learning/using resolve the last two weeks, I'm a final cut editor but have been eyeing resolve for some time now, and it's free! I finished my first multicam edit on there and it was pretty easy, been getting the hang of the coloring and all that as well, loving it so far. Main thing I haven't grasped is file management and work flow since I already have a whole flow for final cut. Thanks for these videos will be watching more of your videos for help!

[@FancyLife]

"A lot of people will stay on the edit page, because it feels... comfortable" Well, I didn't come here just to be singled out.

[@KngSovereign]

and yet you found a way to do so 🤣😂 #nooffenseintended

[@TomSidProductions]

My friend refuses to upgrade from 15 because he doesn't like the cut page. Yep, thats the actual reason. I mean you don't have to use it of you don't want to. He just doesn't listen.

[@enregistreur]

@@TomSidProductions If he's running Resolve on a PC with only an integrated GPU, he should stay on 15. I keep some old installers just because of that.

[@tomdonnelly1154]

I did !

[@LindaAbrahamLead]

Thank you for helping me through out your davinci resolve series

[@juliasavory]

Great video. Settings info for beginners really welcome.

[@WarpedMiniatures]

your subtle use of moving graphics (cap planet) was just great

[@ClarksPlace]

Hey thanks Man, I have watched about all your stuff and learned tons on Davinci, thanks for all the great content!

[@SeamusMatthews]

Casey, thank you for all your work! All your videos have helped me so much, so I just wanted to say thank you!

[@blueprintsessions6670]

Please do a video on settings ,I think you touching on it may have helped me on something I've been struggling wit. Thanks Casey for the amazing tutorial.

[@ComicCulture]

Learned a lot watching you! Thanks.

[@gustavotriani5611]

I jumped in here from the crash course. Awesome tips.

[@SPAZBRO]

Agreed with the comments. I'd love either a starter explainer for all settings AND in-depth. Both audiences would appreciate it.

[@AdamTheFuzzy]

NGL, your video's have helped me so much with things in this wonderful program! So much so i got around telling people I know who edit they need to learn this program cause how awesome it is and free for new people who want to try editing out and want to learn

[@fpdima]

Great video Casey! Thanks for all your help.

[@stephentalent]

Yes please! More for enthusiastic beginners :)

[@apeel2008]

Agreed. Overview of settings would be great!

[@stanzinkhar405]

First few month of video editing on PC and choosing davinci was a different thought but when I saw the interface for first time I really wanted go back to kinemaster tho but these days I'm loving it ... Thanks for your tutorials !

[@ajsuk0]

Yes, settings! How to amend timeline defaults would be good especially

[@Musicman7007]

You are the reason i switched to Resolve. Keep teaching mate :))

[@MakerCuisine]

Great advice, I've been using davinci for a little bit now and this was very helpful

[@sauravshastry]

you deserve subscribers, we deserve hearts

[@eslamalahmadi]

awesome dude we need more and more specified videos like so.

[@manishm9478]

Thanks, very timely for me! I just did a week long project in Resolve as my first major foray and found so many frustrating/non intuitive things. Like the difference between backspace and delete when removing clips from the timeline 🤦🏽‍♂️ this video gives me hope that it's worth persevering with Resolve instead of trying something else 😬

[@MrDreddnoughtOS]

Settings menu page - yas please!!! Would like to hear about proxies and not only. Thank you man, I've learn a lot !!

[@vladphotos]

Love your videos. They have really help me understand and grow. Definitely make a video of Project settings

[@Archer1967]

You rock Casey, thanks for the great video.

[@Futurisu]

You're so close to 200k subscribers! Great video btw :)

[@vinnbrock]

Yes, please do a deep dive in to the settings!

[@BartMazur]

I really appreciate your videos. They are super helpful. Thank you so much.

[@billytetlow]

A video on settings would be good, also on transitions. I am only my second day into Da Vinci 17 and I need all the help that I can get. Thanks for the video/tutorial

[@MrArik86]

Liked, subscribed, following. I´m gonna need all of this. Thanks for putting in the work to explain all of this!!!

[@Dale_Robbins]

Very nice video, Casey. A tutorial showing a comprehensive look at settings would be tremendous. Thanks.

[@DennnisDubeau]

Great work, Casey. Thanks a lot.

[@ryguy9876]

I want to say thank you so much for these tutorials. I've always wanted to get into video production and editing but never knew when to start, and streaming gave me an incentive to figure out where to begin. Thank lord that DaVinci exists because my aging Windows 7 rig has no chance at running adobe. I'm using 16.2.8 for the record.

[@TheLadyVictoria]

Thanks! I have a friend just getting started and this will be super helpful.

[@RichardPanico81]

I’d love a video on the settings as well. Super helpful man, thank you.
