The best simplest tutorial ever. She manages to clearly explain and move throught subject seamlessly - all in like 20minutes. Something all the other folks can't seem to do!!!

[@AlliandWill]

Thanks for the great review! 🙃

[@anamericaninpoland]

Thank you for making this. I just struggled my way through my first edit on davinci. Wish I had watched this first.

[@AlliandWill]

No problem!

[@paranormalseekersadventures]

This was a super informative video for an aspiring filmmaker. Thank you for taking the anxiety out of it for me. 🙂

[@AlliandWill]

Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful!

[@wheresallthezombies]

Brand new to video editing. My first video is super basic, just because I waited till the last minute and gave myself a deadline to post it. This video and the "How to Sync Audio Fast" were very helpful and sped up the learning curve. I'm going to attempt to do more with my next little video. Thanks for the killer resource!

[@AlliandWill]

You’re welcome!!

[@robertbainbridge8873]

Amazing information on this probably the best DaVinci beginners tutorial on youtube! Thanks so much just saved me days if not weeks

[@AlliandWill]

Appreciate the kind words! Glad you found it helpful!!

[@adalc7853]

Hi Alli, I love the Davinci Resolve theme (I'm a super-beginner) and I think it would be very useful for many of us who watch your videos if you make a video in which you explain how to create a DATABASE on an external SSD and how to use this database on our own Macbook as well as on other computers. Thank you very much! 🙌

[@josephr.lejeune4539]

Very helpful and clearly explained. You’re an excellent teacher. Thanks you!

[@AlliandWill]

Thanks so much!

[@ronfaraday2885]

I tried the all the rest, but this is the best. Total noob here and the others, although for beginners, spoke way over my head, went way too in depth and/or went way to fast. I didn't learn ANYTHING until I worked with this tutorial alongside my first practice project. Can't thank you enough.

[@AlliandWill]

Thanks for the kind words and I’m so glad this tutorial helped, happy editing!!

[@danbrown4134]

I just wanted to say thanks so much for doing this! This was really helpful for me! I am able to do the basics on D.R. but that's it. Most helpful was the part about bins, reducing clutter, and I never knew that the box at the top could be resized like that. The problem I still can't figure out is how to (1) cut a clip, (2) move it out (still intact), and (3) use it somewhere else. What happens is that when I start dragging the clips from side to side, they seem to fold under themselves (hope that makes sense), and it's super frustrating because you end of losing content on one side of the clip that should not have been changed at all. Anyway, thanks again! You did a nice job on this!

[@ThankYou-fr7ps]

Amazing tutorial. So much more helpful than others! Thank you and please keep making these kind of videos.

[@AlliandWill]

Thanks!

[@aceentertainmnt9249]

wow finally a great informative tutorial, right to business. love it. so far very helpful.

[@stansutherland6321]

Excellent presentation and has answered some questions but alas not the one I'm having difficulty with. Try as I may I've yet to find an answer to, how to insert a clip from the Media Pool and enter it into an already existing video clip in my timeline, let's say the middle of the existing video clip in my timeline

[@DRLZEca]

Pls make timestamps Alli, this is very useful video!

[@ADV_Agenda]

What a great tutorial! I'm new to DaVinci you have definitely simplified the process for learning. Thank you so much!!!!

[@AlliandWill]

Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching!!

[@sesimie]

Answered all my questions in one video! Thank you!

[@markstrain8989]

Overall, quite helpful in the beginning. Got stuck on titles section. Still haven't figured it out.

[@BudsSmartHome]

Excellent video. Just started learning DaVinci. I have used ShotCut in the past. Your vid has been one of the most helpful beginner videos I've seen! Thank you!

[@trooks4481]

I really appreciated you including the video and audio files! May I suggest a tutorial for absolute video neophytes? Many thanks!

[@AlliandWill]

Sure! We’re always open to suggestions!

[@trooks4481]

@@AlliandWill I have more detailed suggestions, if you're interested!

[@AngelaLochCross]

Thank you so much for this beginner video that I absolutely needed. I started my KZbin journey using Movie Maker and it was so intuitive that I didn't need a tutorial, but after opening DaVinci Resolve I was overwhelmed. This tutorial gives me a good starting point and I will be referring back to it until I feel I have these steps mastered and am ready to learn more. You did a great job covering exactly what would be needed by a beginner and didn't leave any steps out which can be so very frustrating. Instead I am excited to get started on my first project in Davinci Resolve! Thank you! 😃 I will look forward to more of your tutorials.

[@AlliandWill]

You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful!!

[@DebrahWorland]

This was so helpful for a beginner like me. Thank you for making this! I was able to quickly put together a video for my job and make it look super professional!

This is marking me want to try DaVinci now. Adobe has been annoying lately.

[@AlliandWill]

Version 18 of DaVinci is really impressive, so many new features!

[@BuddhaKat1]

That was very informative, but you go a bit too fast for me to keep up. I found myself hitting the back button a lot. 😂 But you definitely go into more than anyone else. Thank you.

[@AlliandWill]

You’re welcome! Ya sometimes people say it’s too slow as well, so I tried to do a middle ground where people can then change the playback speed to their liking, or rewatch as many times as they’d like

[@maxtrixbass]

Great information, worth a repeat (or two or three) as a tutorial, and very well presented.

[@AlliandWill]

Appreciate the comment!

[@abbieallen]

Thank you! I’ve only downloaded Davinci Resolve yesterday so this is a huge help. I’ve previously only used basic aspects of iMovie. Thanks!

[@AlliandWill]

You’re welcome! It’s a little more complicated, but also allows for a lot more customization!

[@abbieallen]

@@AlliandWill yes that’s what I’m excited about. Even simple improvements will make a huge difference. Plus I love learning new things!

[@leighcrane-freemanvideos7146]

Very good and clear. Even though you covered a number of topics you basically completed one before launching into another.

[@DoubleTFishing]

I think I like the file structure better than Premier Pro. I had assumed it was more expensive than Premier, I don’t currently use any other adobe products and don’t really like the yearly cost. Might need to look a little closer, thanks for sharing!!

[@AlliandWill]

Ya it’s pretty great for them to make DaVinci free! And if you need higher end features you just pay a couple hundred bucks once

[@AlliandWill]

You’re welcome! Appreciate the comment

[@gamesturbator]

Kind of wish the video was zoomed out a little more as I can't see the top of Resolve in it a lot of the time. If your GUI isn't the same and doesn't have the bin options shown here, click the view settings and select Show Power Bins.

Bummer! I was looking for a complete beginners' tutorial in 18.5 minutes.

[@AlliandWill]

Just missed the mark :(

[@ph6560]

@@AlliandWill No real need to rub it in, you know. Being a quite decent internet user myself I've spent the last 72 hours searching for Blackmagic Design's homepage, eventually finding an instruction to open this youtube-homepage. Now, before ending up on this sub-homepage I could've sworn I clicked a link that read _"Complete, Full, Comprehensive DaVinci Resolve _*_18.5_*_ For BEGINNERS in _*_18.5 MINUTES._* Must be a disinformation campaign or something by this youtube homepage.

[@scourneene]

Is it possible to bring in audio only from say a field recorder and edit?

[@MrSirDudeGuy]

8:25 cannot delete just the audio. Tried “alt” key, I don’t have an “options” key. It deletes the associated video clip too.

[@ericmakafui4193]

My video is not playing well in the app. I heard I had to generate proxy media which i did but still no major change in the speed. The sound however is normal so it even finishes before the video ends. SO what should I do please?

[@MyRumDiaries]

Great video

[@AlliandWill]

Appreciate the comment! Thanks!

[@AndreiDamian]

I'm 10 minutes into the video, great stuff so far for beginners. The reference manual has 4000 pages :o I really like how you present the information. The tool seems nice as well, mouse shortcuts (zooming in, out, ...) are supported as expected. The only issue I've had so far was trying to edit the "column layout". I thought you were under "Cut", not "Edit", and under cut it isn't possible to edit it :))

[@AlliandWill]

Glad you found it helpful! Haha yes, a little easier to watch this than read through 4000 pages !!

[@danielroujansky6420]

Thank you Alli. Coming from Avid & FCP you are making the transition an easy one. Two questions, to change between drop frame and non-drop frame, is there a menu or do you do it in the time code window. Also, for the the Studio version, how do you take advantage of greater GPU capabilities? Does this happen automatically, or do you need to tell the computer to do so? Thanks for all your great tutorials!

[@AlliandWill]

You’re welcome! I believe drop frame settings are in the sequence menu settings. And ya, I think the studio version automatically taps into your systems full capabilities!

Hello Iʼm a total beginner and my videos are just black in Davinci but I changed the frame and selected same frame things What am I doing wrong ?

[@imboredDB]

Hi, i cant find "Create Column Layout"😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@matthewcheung5136]

While exporting, I decided to delete footage to export the intro of my video separate from the body and ending of the video. I thought, no big deal, I'll just use UNDO command to get my clips back after I export. However, instead of UNDO command, I needed to quit the program which then DaVinci Resolve autosaved. When I reopened the timeline, all I had left was the intro and COULD NOT UNDO my actions from earlier. I did not turn on project backups. Am I screwed? Please help!

[@kenhaley5450]

I want to do more with my video than iMovie supports (especially colour correction) and want to try DaVinci Resolve, but compared to iMovie it appears much more complex. Any help you can offer along the lines of “DaVinci Resolve for Dummies” will be very much appreciated.

Alli & Will, I want to replace my desktop with one that will make editing with DaVinci Resolve easier. Can you recommend a model or two or three? Many thanks!

[@AlliandWill]

Hey Dale, we recently put out a video reviewing the Apple Macbook Pro M1 Max laptop, so we would highly recommend going that route! If you're used to PC, it will take a couple weeks to get used to Mac, but everyone I know who switched to Mac ended up loving it. Pro tip; you can save some money by buying a refurbished one from Apples website :) Just make sure it's an M1 Macbook Pro. (Don't buy the Macbook Air)
