[@FullStackFool]

The fact you readily recommended other channels as trustable sources of education shows integrity and a desire to help the watcher in any way possible. Instant sub 🙏

[@DarrenMostyn]

Some great channels out there! Enjoy and thanks for subscribing to mine!

[@alexvielfaure2981]

I second this. A good chunk of youtube is thumbnails and clickbait titles and been able to have recommendations by someone you trust for other parts of Davinci helps save a ton of time and fustration sifting through all the "luts" and "quick hack" videos.

[@aviewaboveNE]

literally this. go Darren!

[@AmillionCo]

Facts 💯 same

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

Watched this last night on tv n thought exactly the same! On PC now so can comment. GB :)

[@larryharvey5818]

For the life of me, I cannot understand how this 20 minute introduction to DaVinci doesn't have at least one like for every view! Darren, this is the best intro to anything i've ever seen. Bravo!

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thank you Larry. Very kind. Welcome to my channel and enjoy my well curated playlists. Thank you again - means a lot.

[@paullecomtenz]

Photographer here & just discovered this - you bloody legend, thank's so much.

[@KasbashPlays]

These have been some of the most valuable 19 odd minutes of my filmmaking life. Been dabbling with Resolve since 2019 but I needed this.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Wish Id done it sooner! Glad it helped Kasbash!

[@jemadv1594]

Im new to editing. Haven't used any software. I'm looking for that 2 hr. Media page tutorial. Then the 5 hr. CUT page with SPEED EDITOR covering every possible detail. Then a 10 hr. Tutorial bringing the 3 together to tell a story before moving on to the fine tuning pages. So many videos jump page to page and show what DR 18 can do, but don't cover the why you do it this way and then the how. Maybe YT doesn't pay enough. Create a subscription offer. Part 1 through 50 in 1 hr. tutorials. I've watched many DR 17 and spent more time trying to decipher the process because the layout is different. So DR 18.5 would be ideal. Yes, I've watched the Blackmagic DR 17 tutorials and can not keep up. Spent more time rewinding. If anyone can point me in the right direction to a full tutorial. Really appreciate it

[@TranquilityTerrace]

Definitely my favorite voice to explain how things work. Very much appreciated. Thank you for not talking too fast. Good job.

[@DarrenMostyn]

appreciated

[@boscoe2]

After having KZbin suggest this video to me and then watching it start to finish, I am moving over to DaVinci Resolve from Premiere Pro. Very helpful and insightful video. Many thanks.

[@LighthouseFacts]

This is the most comprehensive intro to Davinci as I've ever seen. I've ditched Adobe, and I'm now in. Thanks. Great Video.

[@gimbalair]

Perfect, I have been using DR for 2 years and this is the first time someone has clearly explained how it is set up. I kind of worked out to hide media and cut pages after several tutorials. I just use edit. I didn't know about libraries though. The one thing I dont like about iMovie is the whole library gets appended so it grows huge and you cannot just delete a few projects without screwing the file up.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Yes the library part is a bit of a pain but essential for networked workflows etc. it only takes a minute to set up!

[@csharbrough]

By happy coincidence, this was the FIRST Davinci Resolve video that I watched on KZbin. That was about 4 months ago. Since that time, I have watched a lot of video from you and from the others whom you recommend at the end of this video. It has meant a great deal to me that you took a minute to list them... especially by their areas of expertise. I am so fortunate to have this group of professionals as my go-to teachers. I feel like my DR journey started right here. Thank you. I will be attending your Masterclass May 18-21, 2024. Can't wait!

[@AdventuringADHD]

Hows it going my friend. Your comment is quite motivating.

[@AdventuringADHD]

Hows it going my friend. Your comment is quite motivating.

[@Stanley-i9u]

I stopped at this channel purely because the presenter speaks British English, not American English. Then I found that he is knowledgeable and thorough as well, so I subscribed. 🙂

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thanks Stanley! Appreciate your sub and kind words.

[@Adventurebreeze]

Just watched the KZbin channel Bigtime and saw in the comments people talking about davinci resolve. Instantly, I went searching and found your channel and boy am i impressed with firstly the software, but also the way you present the information clearly and make it easy to understand for a noob like me Top stuff !! Thank you sir

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad I could help! Welcome to my channel. Checkout my curated playlists too.

[@markwilson7380]

Obviously late to this channel, But Thank heavens I found you. Last real editing I did was WMM (ouch) , I did do some Adobe and Sony decades ago. I found this software and was lost. after just this intro I feel I can use this tool. and now I feel the desire to create content again. Thank You so much!

[@ramysalib]

Thanks man for great video! Im always happy to see such competent Individuals like yourself, sharing their knowlede at no cost.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Appreciated.

[@AlexanderMarsh-we6ng]

Probably one of the easiest and most interesting tutorials I have watched in a long time..... and I watch ALOT of tutorials. Will definitely be swapping over to Davinci from Premiere for my M2 MacBook Max

[@souldej]

29.9 mins Masterclass 🎉 Thank you Darren

[@d29manage]

Dear Darren your accent makes it easier to learn well. Love from Pakistan

[@DarrenMostyn]

glad it works for you - its the only one Ive got!!

[@AlexCameron-Depiqd]

Great quick introduction Darren! Appreciate the shout out. Humbled to be mentioned by you alongside some of those other great teachers.

[@DarrenMostyn]

About time I mentioned your channel Alex. A good solid resource!!

[@virta-tube]

Thank you for the insightful guide to DaVinci Resolve; it's been incredibly helpful for kick starting my video editing journey. Your clear instructions and tips have made the learning process much more accessible and enjoyable! Great jog sir!

[@UsefulTechStuff]

I am currently using Camtasia 2024 and was planning to switch to DaVinci Resolve. Your video gave me an excellent introduction. Thank you so much.

[@Hangfireflyer]

Been filming using a drone for about a year now, fairly new to all this. Discovered Davinci about 6 months ago this tutorial is very informative for newbies like me 👍👍 thank you

[@DarrenMostyn]

Appreciated

[@kennethochoa7550]

GREAT OVER VIEW OF RESOLVE BUT I THINK I UNDERSTAND THIS OVERVIEW BECAUSE OF ALL THE BEGINNER RESOLVE TUTS I'VE VIEWED SO FAR🤯

[@anujparihar123]

Thanks Darren for this useful tutorial.

[@freakyscumbag]

I’m new to video editing and Da Vinci and finding more complex than some of the other software for editing,I am getting to know it better but still finding it hard in many ways , I don’t know how I’d go on without these videos ,thanx

[@TeddyCavachon]

A note on purchasing the Studio version. I was new to Resolve but purchased the Studio version at B&H Photo bundled with the Speed Editor. The price is $100 over the cost of just the license but well worth it in terms of convenience and learning to use the application.

[@mellowmel2012]

I found an even better deal, a bundle of Studio and speed editor for the price of the license! I have yet to learn to use the speed editor like a pro, but it makes a big difference in precision and speed! And having the studio version paid once and done-good deal!

[@Rokvet]

Thank so much for this. I was terrified of leaving Adobe Premier but this got me going and eased my anxiety. Bravo.

[@DarrenMostyn]

glad it helped.

[@OwenLucasEnglish]

What a tremendous tutorial. Thorough, eloquent, efficient and engaging. Many thanks.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Appreciated.

[@OneCoolDude]

Just coming across this. This got me up and running, thank you!

[@pixelmd5162]

i've been looking at your stuff.... thank you for being on this planet! you rock

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thank you. Appreciated

[@jonno27]

Thanks for this. I have never done any video editing and I downloaded DaVinci because it was free and came recommended. Turning it on was literally the most complex thing I was able to do with it. This is exactly what I needed to get started.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad I could help! Enjoy. Thgeres a lot to learn. Checkout my beginners playlist for more helpful videos. Good luck.

[@SmokeCignal]

Its about 300 USD. I just started getting into video editing in general and this video has proven to be quite helpful and well explained. A lot of the informational videos I have seen so far feels like they are speed running how to do things and I have to watch them a few times to understand what is going on.

[@jamescarpentier2736]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this great editing tool!

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stephenmurphy8349]

This is a great introduction. Thanks you!

[@soffici1]

Why are YT content creators so worried about their videos being long? This video is jam-packed with information and if he just were less worried about going over the 1hr mark it would have been even better than it already is Just to clarify: I want to start editing videos, have used Premiere Pro 20 years ago for a single project (lots of flexibility but also lot of hard work) and was trying to decide which of the big 3 to use. Each one has pros and cons, but Adobe’s subscription policy is really akin to getting someone addicted to a drug and then milking them by selling them the drug. That kinda rules out Premiere. This guy has just sold me to DaVinci Resolve, but there was no hurry. I would have happily watched a 1hr video on this subject…

[@kersland]

Fantastic explainer - coming back to Resolve after a 6yr gap from doing a training course (and then discovering my old Mac couldn't handle it), this is a great way to start exploring again. Thank you.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad it helped! Good luck on your journey - a lot changed in 6 years! You’ll love it.

[@thepragmatic6383]

I have just found out how I am going to spend my free time this winter. Learning DaVinci will be my winter project.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Good choice!

[@nielsmedia56]

Darren, this is absolutely brilliant! I just bought DaVinci Resolve Studio after having used Premiere Pro for many years. This is the perfect tutorial to get started with Resolve. Thank you!!

[@DarrenMostyn]

Great to hear!

[@andrepena]

I decide to learn DaVinci, this video helped me starting. Thanks Darren

[@DarrenMostyn]

Perfect! Glad it helped Andre.

[@VoxAtelier]

I wanted to move from clipchamp to Davinci for the longest time but my PC was a potato. This video got me started with my first project. It is kind of overwelming but I like all the new things I can do. Thanks

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad I could help!

[@LRRipley]

I had to step away from my training for a few months and just got back to it. I went to your channel and was thinking "I wish Darren had a beginner video" and behold, there it was!!! This was excellent, thanks so much for taking the time, and thx also for the recommendations at the end. I mainly stick to you and Cullen for no-nonsense training without the KZbin poser fluff, so I appreciate the quick summary of the channels you recommend. I'm sorry things sucked during Covid but this channel was a happy result; keep it coming. :)

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thanks and yes, Cullen is an amazing resource and a good friend too!

[@SteveGerrardPhotography]

Grabs notebook 💡

[@DarrenMostyn]

excellent! Saves you calling me now my friend!! :)))

[@SergiuZboras]

this was an absolutely amazing intro for a newbie, I've heard of DaVinci, but didn't know it is such an amazing software. Thanks Darren!

[@DarrenMostyn]

You are so welcome! Its amazing - please check out my well curated playlists including for beginners here kzbin.info/aero/PL6VNHhfsVYJawp385IIyLemQL_ZBzgN_5

Rite Darren Dude, Just starting on the journey so many thanks for the heads-up! Great shout out to the other creators... TFS, GB :)

[@DarrenMostyn]

No problem - glad it worked for you. All the best, darren

[@els1f]

Thank you! 🙏♥️ I have been making/mixing/producing music for many years and finally decided to see what video editing was like. It was a bit overwhelming lol, but you've made it whelming 😋🙃

[@CheekyMiner]

I'm sick of cloud subscription software, this is amazing, just downloaded it. Thanks for the video.

[@DarrenMostyn]

welcome to resolve

[@SooLabs]

Dude...you are awesome. This is so good for a beginner to get started with.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheBEARofHIGHWAY1]

At 7:20 is the BEST TIP I have heard so far researching DaVinci! Thanks Darren!

[@romaklimenko]

Thank you! This is the best introduction I found on KZbin. Very helpful.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrKuken911]

I'm soooo glad I've stumbled across your channel thanks to this video, amazing! DR is quite daunting for people like me, who have pretty much never edited videos. Your video is exactly what I was looking for: short and high level explanations to understand how the program works. Brilliant. I'll certainly watch other videos from your channel and in the meantime, I've subscribed! It's also awesome you mention other channels. If only this would be a more common practice! Definitely helpful for the viewer, and as far as I'm concerned, this means you want something for yourself of course with your channel, but also truly for the greater good.

This is the best, most detailed and well put together movement guide for bloodstrike bro covered everything

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thank you

I usually Use Filmora mostly, Which is very hard for me to edit on another editing software but this video was very helpful.

[@tinomidziphotography]

You sir are a master. Straight forward. You demystified this thing

[@DarrenMostyn]

thank you

[@charlesabela9661]

Thank you. Your presentation comes across very well. Genuine. In particular, when you give credit and mention your peers. It rounds up the belief factor.

[@rivcaehildebrandt9465]

This a tremendous tutorial! Loved it! I'm totally new to DaVinci and was anxious to use it for the first time. Your tutorial gave me a clear glimpse on how to better use it for my needs. Can't thank you enough.

[@DarrenMostyn]

You're very welcome!

[@orlandog.7536]

yes, im so exited to start editing again after over 10 years.

i just start using it since last week, still a lot to learn/ free version

[@DarrenMostyn]

Enjoy! Lots to learn!!

@@DarrenMostyn i know but will get it right i figure how to cut and remove initial sound and add my voice and how to put it on my computer and get it on YT after i am not a geek lol

you are a great teacher Darren. have you ever considered doing a full course ? if not, then please do :)

"This thing doesn't crash" ... "It might crash occasionally" XD I am going to learn this program from you, then! Love the fact you left that in

[@DarrenMostyn]

Great!

[@fredschenk_VVD]

@@DarrenMostyn and great tips for other channels (maybe add links in the description?) went directly to Davinci Master Key to subscribe to that one too. She is very pleased with your mention 😀👍

[@DarrenMostyn]

@@fredschenk_VVD I did add links ?

[@fredschenk_VVD]

@@DarrenMostyn They aren't converted to links. I assume YT doesn't recognise the @DaVinciMasterKey as a link to a channel. It does makes them easier to find.

[@DarrenMostyn]

@Fred Schenk I just copied paste @DavinciMasterKey and it came up straight away! If not, put www.youtube.com/ before each one. Hope that helps.

[@reg8746]

I am absolutely new to Davinci Resolve. When I installed a fresh version the first step in the video was to create a "New Project Library". The projects library tab was hidden and you needed to "Click on the Show/Hide Project Libraries" to see the tab you demonstrated in the video. I read the instruction manual which has this comment Creating a New Network Project Library Creating a new network project library is a simple and straightforward process. To create a new network project library: 1 Click on the Show/Hide Project Libraries icon in the upper left of the Project Manager to expose the sidebar.

[@DarrenMostyn]

Noted. Thank you

[@StretchFletcher]

Jeez Louise, that was a well-spent 40 minutes. (your vid X 2!!!) I'm not a slow kid but I need to understand things. I've been using another platform and have decided to change to Da Vinci. Having previously looked at it I didn't start because it seemed daunting. This makes it look far more manageable. I'm stoked to start producing. Thanks.

[@SimonVisuals]

Thank you, I appreciate your focus, clarity, and positive energy.

[@DarrenMostyn]

I appreciate that!

[@LuiDiazPodcast]

You're a legend Darren! Thanks for creating this!

[@graphguy]

This is great! I’m tired of the Adobe subscription model. As a serious home user it makes no sense. Resolve looks to be the answer.

[@KatAdair]

Well done! I appreciate your teaching style and knowledge. Coming from FCP, but I’ve struggled with color for years. I bought a Colorite Passport, and am giving this a shot. And that’s after buying a brand new iPad M4 max because the rollout showed them using four iPhones with the iPad and Final Cut Pro. The colors are absolutely terrible. Looking forward to learning something new. Will also check to see if you have anything on lighting. Lighting is another thing I’ve struggled with. I would love to see somebody come out with a video that is a simple light set up for instructional videos…we do fused glass videos, and minimizing shadows and having overall great lighting is an necessity. Thanks again!

[@DarrenMostyn]

Thank you so much for the generous donation. Appreciated. I dont deal with lighting on shoots as I am purely a colourist, so I add light in post if it needs it. Thanks for joining my channel! All the best, darren

@@DarrenMostyn You're welcome. Like I say, I have muddled through and made some great edits for an enthusiastic amateur, using fusion for 3d floating titles and keyframing saturation but I know I could be better if I understood what I was doing.
