DaVinci Resolve 101 For ASMR Content Creators

[@Piscesluna]

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm just now learning how to edit on an older version of DaVinci (17) in 2025. And this video is exactly what I was looking for, a basics refresher editing course, that's quick, and concise.

[@ASMRLounge]

*You are a gift to the ASMR Community Ian..I'm not using Da Vinci Resolve yet, but I seriously plan to! thanks for this*

[@SoftvVibesAsmr]

this really helped me not feel so overwhelmed, thanks so much!!

[@LisaRoseASMR]

I use DaVinci regularly now and wooowwww was I ever overwhelmed when I first started using it - now I can't imagine creating and editing without it! It does, however, cause my computer to crash so every single time I make an edit I save my work lol. Thank you so very much for sharing your expertise with the ASMR community, it is so valued.

[@LisaRoseASMR]

Bearded Audio ASMR Uhh no wonder I’m crashing

[@ASMRJeremiah]

Great intro to Davinci Ian! I loved the "shift-delete" short cut for ripple editing. Didn't know that. I also like the "right click" to add a cross dissolve. Great tips. I'm curious about playing around with the H265 codec. Looking forward to your next tutorial!

[@BehindTheMoons]

Thank you so much! I've just started using Da Vinci Resolve yesterday after having heard about it for months now. Even without really knowing anything about the software I managed to get some nice colour grading for my next video. I just had a hard time exporting the files, at first the files size was huge, then I exported in mp4 and it was ok, but I'm sure I can find a third option in the middle to keep the best quality possible.

[@ASMRSoundWaves]

I keep coming back to this video to remember something and then learning something new. Like, I can use my iZotope voice de-noise from within DaVinci?!?! Game changer!! Thanks again, Ian! :)

[@ASMRJeremiah]

I'm getting better at using the color wheels but man, all that node stuff gets complicated in a hurry. I could definitely use a tutorial for some of your favorite tricks.

[@LisaRoseASMR]

Ooooo the nodes. Bane of my existence lol

[@LisaRoseASMR]

Bearded Audio ASMR When you upload the node tutorial I will be front and center. I have yet to see a good node tutorial for beginners.

[@LisaRoseASMR]

With the nodes, I'm looking to make a lower thirds similar to those found in Justin Brown's Primal Video tutorials. Just a simple colored text block with white text superimposed on it. No fancy gliding in and out or sliding lines and stuff, just a text box that appears (fades in perhaps) and then disappears. I cannot find anywhere online that teaches this! If you could include it in your next tutorial I would be so grateful. I'd even make a donation to you for this information because I've been pulling my hair out and wasting so much time trying to figure it out on my own!

You are a life saver to my new channel, you earned a new loyal subscriber!

Thank you! I'm so glad you find this helpful.

[@ASMRSoundWaves]

Ok, back revisiting this video as I have a bit more time to edit my next video. I started trying DaVinci for the first time last night and I'm playing along at home with this video. Going back and forth editing my first video as you go along. I think I'm an hour in and just finished Fairlight section! Now I just need to go find a video that goes over color correction - I have some wonky stuff going on in some of my videos! Thank you as always!

[@ASMRSoundWaves]

@@ASMRTutorialsForYou Yes please! I'll be there!

[@OdysseusMcNobody]

Thank you for your life saving editing

[@MichaelHoughton_]

Thanks for this video man this is great! I will be using this for an unboxing later!

[@asmresonance6072]

Omg thank you so much! It will improve the quality of my asmr substantially

[@Alison.1529]

Thank you so so much.😊 I'm a complete newbie and this will help me so much👌🏼Thanks!!

[@hannahleiASMR]

Hi Ian! I just wanted to let you know that this video was really, really helpful for me. I wish I found you/this video sooner when I began my channel. The audio quality would have been a lot better 😓. Question: what volume dB do you usually set your limiter to? I've been setting mine to -12 dB, but I was wondering what other creators do. Thanks! Take care.

[@hannahleiASMR]

Bearded Audio ASMR that was really helpful! Thank you for elaborating so thoroughly. I definitely need to play around a lot more with my audio. Thank you for being so helpful ☺️

[@TheNormieboo]

Question! Once i export the audio it sounds a *lot* different in audacity, groove music, or windows media player than it does in davinci. definitely not as much depth. is there a reason for this? Thank you so much for this though! it was INSANELY helpful!!!

[@ASMRTutorialsForYou]

Do you know what audio settings you're using when you export?

[@ASMRSoundWaves]

You're awesome! I've been using Audacity and then HitFilms Express for editing. There's a few things that look easier with this. I also like the idea of editing the audio within the same program rather than using Audacity first. I assume that also means that I can edit the audio within clips in case I want different setting for different triggers, which is awesome. I might just try it out and see. I'll just need to figure out how to switch the R/L channels!

[@ASMRSoundWaves]

Thank you so much!

[@ShideShahyad]

Tank you so much it is super use ful . 😊😊

[@LayllasLocker]

I'm just starting with ASMR. for start I will create few just for myself and will see how it goes. thanks for this. :D

[@DrossLaboratories]

whenever i upload, the volume goes way down especially on whispers. even if it sounds good and is normalized in davinci, im so confused :(

[@ASMRTutorialsForYou]

That is weird. Do you have anything I could listen to? Went to your channel and I don't see anything.

[@renharada5511]

hii thank you so much for the video. This helps me a lot! i'm starting ASMR channel soon. and i'm learning everything about audio and video editing. Which one do you prefer, Davinci Resolve or Sony Vegas? Thank you!

are you using the free version of DaVinci?

[@ASMRTutorialsForYou]

This was the free version, yes!

[@TingleStormASMR]

Hey Ian! Why am I so late at this illuminating tutorial? ANyways, thank you xo

[@ASMRTutorialsForYou]

I'm glad you found it! Always feel free to hit me up with questions beyond this video.

[@TingleStormASMR]

@@ASMRTutorialsForYou thank you! So far, the noise reduction has been illuminating! I never noticed the learn button before ahah! Just a question: it removes any white noise or disrurbung sounds AMAZINGLY, but I notice that finger flutters, tapping and other sound triggers that are not voice related, loose a little bit of dimension. It's not a big issue, as I mostly use my voice, but I was just wondering if you had any suggestions about it 😊 anyways thank you so much 🙏

[@ASMRTutorialsForYou]

That IS an issue, since it's geared toward voice. You have to listen to the sounds and think about how much dimension you want there vs noise removed and find a balance. There are also some great plugins, like RX8 by Izotope, that work even better than this.

[@TingleStormASMR]

@@ASMRTutorialsForYou thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

[@asmrvk]

👍👍👍

[@brandonboss6868]

Perhaps I have my gain up too high? The white noise is causing so much loud static in the background

[@ASMRTutorialsForYou]

What mic is it?

[@brandonboss6868]

@@ASMRTutorialsForYou Blue Yeti

[@ASMRTutorialsForYou]

@brandonboss6868 any idea which version? The newer ones have a higher noise level than the OG Yeti.

[@SavageRamboEats]

@@ASMRTutorialsForYou this really helped me today. Did you use audacity to edit audio before hand.

[@asmryID]

I don't use the davinci resolve but i might consider one day. thank you yet again!

[@asmryID]

@@ASMRTutorialsForYou I see, I see. and no problem man! I really love how you give out these tutorials for the ASMRtist! It really helps me to learn! If you ask me though, maybe do some audacity 301 (if there's anything more to add lol) or a tutorial on how to make layered visuals for layered sounds asmr (like those twin asmr thing or the zeitgeist intro if you watch him). Like im geniunely curious if we have to use greenscreen for those or there's something in the video editing tools that we can tweak. Thank you again!

[@asmryID]

@@ASMRTutorialsForYou great! looking forward to it!!

[@LisaRoseASMR]

@@asmryID Yes indeed I would be sooo interested in that as well!

Why there is 2 audios ?

One is the camera audio and the other is the microphone.
