[@lightishredgummi9654]

I REALLY appreciate you making sure this is a "starting from ground 0" video! I find that too often, people will make a "getting started" video for something that was probably intended to be for someone literally just starting out but ends up being more for people who are already familiar with the basics. I've also found that sometimes, the most beginner-level questions are the hardest to find answers to lol. people who already have some experience never bother specifying and complete beginners probably become too scared to ask.

[@IeuanMorgannwg]

I can find loads of videos on how to learn DaVinci Resolve. Where you differ is you are an outstanding teacher, and you make the learning process fun. I truly appreciate you being here to teach DR. I made the switch since Filmora screwed me out of my "lifetime" license.

I started watching your videos since 2019. Learning about filmora. And I am a very big fan of yours. Really happy to learn a more advanced software 🙏🙏🙏 may God richly bless you

[@TangoRomeo87]

Sold!!! Thanks! I was always left feeling like Filmora left me with the best it could do, but not what I really wanted. Davinci will not be too difficult and will really improve the level of anyone's uploads, with just a little effort. Thanks again Daniel for bringing Jay on to give us an impressive, easy to follow walk through.

Try the free versions and see if you like it and how well it runs on your computer. So far, I’m pretty impressed

Wondershare. The new Adobe. Why am I not surprised? I'm glad you switched to Davinci Daniel, because Davinci Resolve is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!. Yes there is a steep learning curve to it I won't lie, but it's worth taking and investing the time to learn.

[@trae326]

I'm so glad I'm watching this on my 2nd monitor (32" Acer ). This is exciting. Thanks for taking your time doing this for us. I always felt intimidated by DaVinci Resolve. Now that I've seen a hands on demonstration, I feel more comfortable. Again, thank you for your time. Oh by the way, Daniel your hair is gorgeous.

Glad you made the switch Daniel ..... you did everything you could have, and then some. Respect.

[@rano12321]

Subscribed. Looking forward to some good Resolve videos from you. 25:39 actually you can change the scaling on Resolve's UI now. Preference>User>Ui settings>UI display scale. 26:17 for proxies, I wouldn't recommend using optimized media anymore in 2022, Resolve now comes with a proxy generator which is by far the most seamless proxy workflow I've ever seen, it's a separate app and the free version also comes with it. Would highly recommend it to checkout instead of using proxy media. 43:43 you can actually do that without making a copy of the 16:9 timeline. In the cut page, on the top right corner, you can change the aspect ratio of the timeline. For more intuitively keyframing the positing, rotation and scale of anything in your timeline, you can use the onscreen widget, it's on the bottom of left corner of your viewer. And speaking of Fusion. It's a beast of it's own. It's been around the 80s and been used in thousands of movies and TVs shows and used to cost 6k before BM bought it and now it comes inside Reolve for free. That's insane. That's highly professional tool used to make movie quality VFX at your finger tips for free. The standalone app runs better on PC and your analogy was absolutely right Daniel, it's basically like a pipe stream and the footage is like water flowing lol. Nodes are industry standard for VFX, it has been since the 80s and still is with Nuke and Fusion. Casey Ferris has a great free course for Fusion. I love Reaper as well btw. My preferred DAW.

[@Cchogan]

A note about Performance and Proxies DR is a resourse hog - this is not bad design but simply because it is powerful! Many people will get performance issues. The simplest way to solve the problem is by using proxies. There are two ways to do this, but since DR 18, there is a separate Blackmagic Proxy Generator which is also in the free version. You can set that up to "watch" a folder. Anything you put in that folder, it will create a proxie in the BG. These smaller files run beautifully and have solved all my performance issues. However, in colour grading, it uses the original file, which is good!

[@TrailTime.]

I was introduced to you because of your Fillmore debacle, I subscribed because of your personality. I’m newish to editing and went straight to Davinci Resolve. So this video is going to be right up my alley.

[@swdw973]

Sweet. Was working on a video for work. They asked what I was using, and I mentioned I'd switched to Resolve because of the BS fee you have to pay to keep getting just bug fixes after 12 months with Vegas Pro. The owner asked how much Studio was and when I told her, she told me to buy it for myself and expense it. So I ordered the Speed Editor with the free Resolve Studio license and paid the $100 difference. Now I've moved up to the Studio version with the speed editor. Only problem? Sooooo much to learn !

[@Daniel_Batal]

Same. There are a couple of videos on my channel that might help getting started. Try this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH6moml8mZKNl9U

I hope you two will conmtinue to do collaboration videos on Davinci and help explain things like, we did this function in filmora, heres how we do it in davinci. that kind of thing would be most helpful for a lot of us who were still trying to improve our filmora skills to adapt over to Davinci.

This video may be the answer to my prayers, as I’m editing drone video using iMovie, and running into sluggish playback issues, making it impossible to do my work.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful, new friendship, with two KZbin creators. All the best!

Welcome to resolve! I have been using it since v14.

[@stehume]

Well after watching the second half after my dinner last night i have to say that i learned a lot about the cut page, a page where i have always really skipped. what would be good is if you coud mark multiple in and out places then just drag the windows when it has gone through all the clips, maybe you can but not herd or seen it. (when in cut page in source view with the tap)

[@flipnap2112]

Just stumbled on your previous video about the "lifetime subscription" issue and that was the first time I saw your channel. this being the second video I viewed, and its about learning resolve and I started happily laughing for obvious reasons.. Best of luck and have fun. I moved over from premiere, to FCPX to Resolve. I will tell you as a side note, Last year I dug into Fusion and im hooked. Its really not as scary as it looks. node based compositing is amazing and once you learn it youll never go back to layered compositing. What we get with the free version of Resolve blows me away, but I bought the studio version because even just the noise reduction alone is worth it. Happy New Year and keep on keeping on

Note about importing media - You can drag and drop media into the Media page, but ALSO, the Edit page and the Cut page. Anywhere where there is a "media" window.

Man, you really put the work in. I will have to listen to/watch this until I'm sick of it lol.

[@garypranzo9334]

Yes it is VERY MUCH worth the time to get over the learning curve. For 2 months in Feb,March my productivity went down doing the switch from adobe and I did take sales hit of 20% but April on my pructivity went up 25-30% at least as once you learn Reolve and fusion it is solid and almost magical. But I am coming from Adobe suite and I used Premeire and AE extensively. If your needs are simple maybe sticking with what you know is fine. If just simple cuts one camera editing no FX then I can understand someone not wanting to waste time changing apps.

[@ciprianbucataru8165]

Wow. I am happy you choose DaVinci Resolve

[@PubRunner]

If your going to buy the Studio version if you can afford it, I would suggest buying it bundled with the Black Magic Speed Editor Keyboard. I really like it and you get a discount over the total price. Beware tho you can also get the speed editor keyboard without studio bundled. Which is what I did. I brought studio off someone that had the key spare after buying the speed editor and they already had studio.

[@DaleLRoberts]

Fantastic tutorial. Thanks so much.

[@sharpfang]

I think what should be emphasized is that the paid version extra features are primarily related to collaboration - meant for studios hiring a lot of people who simultaneously work on the same big project. If you're on your own, you'll never miss them. If you collaborate with 1-2 people in video editing, you can still do without. DaVinvi Resolve is an ad product for Blackmagic Design hardware: turn amateur into prosumer and once your crappy studio equipment ceases to fit your needs, you'll buy stuff that meshes seamlessly with software you're used to.

[@thanksfernuthin]

That's an excellent point and an excellent business strategy on their part. I will keep at DaVinci Resolve until I hit my head on the limitations a few times... then I'll happily pay for it. I believe they have AI stuff that would be prized by a single user as well. You sound like you know the program well. I wish they told us how to apply that color correction to all the other clips. I'm sure it must be easy. Do you know how?

[@sharpfang]

@@thanksfernuthin You won't hit your head on Resolve limitations anytime soon, or in mid-range term. It's hardware they sell - pro cameras, editing consoles, audio equipment etc. And it works perfectly well with free Resolve. It's 3rd party hardware that gets fiddly if you want it to cooperate.

[@thanksfernuthin]

@@sharpfang Sooo..... you don't know how to apply that color correction to multiple clips? Is that it? And I'm pretty sure some of the more complex motion tracking is paid version, which I'm interested in.

I'm looking forward to creating content again for my cooking channel :D

[@srilankavideos6105]

Daniel, the single biggest issue facing users/potential users of DaVinci Resolve is play back, with videos lagging, stuttering, etc. I have the latest version of DaVinci installed, and have watched and followed the instructions of countless videos explaining how to make videos play back smoothly but to no avail. I think you'd do a great service to users of DaVinci if you could do your research and make a video that explain how to REALLY achieve smooth play back. By the way, I have a Dell 15 3000 Inspiron with 16 GB RAM (upgraded) and intel i3 core. I presently use Filmora (version 11), with which I have edited quite a few videos in 4k with no play back issues. Once the videos are rendered in Filmora they play back smoothly often even with full resolution.

[@G-and-J-Chapel-Artworks]

I used Power Director on my Android until you suggested resolve. Switching to Resolve is the switching from a Pinto to a Ferrari effect for me. That said, Resolve is an awesome Ferrari. This video has been a great help because the free version looks exactly like what you're working with here.

[@Daniel_Batal]

Yeah, they really do give away almost the entire software in the free version. You're mostly missing some advanced features, a larger library of transitions & effects and GPU acceleration. But the free version is NO joke

[@melsdarkopera]

I think I answered the question I asked you (about if you found your new go-to program) by finding this in your recommended videos lol. I've heard of Davinci Resolve, yet haven't tried it. I'll have to give it a whirl.

[@itsmeprad]

Nice stream! By the way, just want to correct one thing: with the free version of Davinci Resolve, you get GPU rendering if you use H.265 encoding while exporting your footage. GPU rendering isn't available on H.264 though. Sorry if this was mentioned already in the video but I couldn't find it.

Okkkkkkkkkkkk..... got it installed!!! Afer a few short hours I've reduced my DaVinci learning curve fear and come to realize that after learning just a dozen or so basics, it can be used a simply as you want it to be. Yes it can be a Maserati... if that's what you want/need... but it can also be a nice dependable Toyota Corolla. And... it's also funny how it's great features and functionality sort of sneak up on you as you use it and you find yourself saying "wow, that's neat." Yes, Filmora put it all out there right in front of you and has TONS of assets... but I realized something about using Filmora... I collected 1000's of assets over the last year from Filmstock and actually use maybe a ½ to a dozen of the same things all the time. LAST THING... Once you learn how to optimize DR for best performance... it runs sooooooo much better and soooooo much more dependable than Filmora.... I think I'm beginning to love using it and having some real fun learning about it. Daniel, I have to admit that at first, when you were recommending DV, I really didn't get it.... Why would one want to leave their comfortable Corolla deal the Maserati dashboard...? Now I know... so again... I thank you for your help. I support you in your ummm 'battle' with the new Filmora Cancel Culture company that it has become. I predict I will be dumping Filmora within a week to 10 days (transition thing) and cancelling my Filmstock subscription.... who knows with the money I'll be saving over the year on Filmstock, I just might spring for the Davinci Resolve Studio in a few months... :)

found your channel during the beginning of the filmora debacle. Seems like you've mastered the art of storytelling, considering I've watched most of your videos on the topic, despite having no interest in filmora.

[@Cchogan]

I love Resolve. One thing that confuses people is "what is a project?" With things like Premier, everything is held together in a folder with a project file and that kind of thing. With Resolve, the "project" is kept in a database (Postgres), and it doesn't care where all the media files are. So, there is NO project file to stare at. That threw me at first. But I am used to it now. For pro editors, whose entire system is dedicated to editing, having files split over drives is not unusual, so the resolve system works wonderfully. For amateurs, then there is a worry you will lose track of everything amongst everything else you have on there. So... When I start a new project, I start by gathering my footage together in a folder. Then when I create a project, I import everything in from there. I now know where it is. Having said that, there is a facility for exporting/archiving a project. That process will pull in all the files from everywhere and create a dedicated archive. The big advantage with a database system, once you get used to it, is it makes DR's powerful collaboration tools a breeze.

I've had Davinci installed for ages, but usually only use it for 360 editing, and not much of that. Might be time to start getting more familiar with it. Just FYI, Filmora sent me my "bribe" yesterday - "test our software for us and we'll give you a free upgrade to 12". I replied "I don't need a free upgrade - I have a LIFETIME licence, just like my good mate Daniel!" 🤣

I've been on youtube, uploading, for 4 years, and I've always had issues with editing software (I'm a bit thick when it comes to editing software and pc capabilities). I even tried filmora and couldn't get to grips with it. I'm definitely going to try this one.

[@choppercam01]

Yeah, I'm not using this one either. If I have to give personal information to get something for free, then it's a no-no, especially if I have to give my mobile number to register. Sorry guys, but this software is not for me

Good luck with whatever you end up finding and using 👊😎☮️

YEEEHAWWWW! I hope that one day I will be able to afford to employ the service of an editor that will free me up to focus on the stuff I am good at Creating the product for someone else to edit for me. I don’t want to become a good editor.

Daniel you are unique. Peace and will follow wherever you go.

I'm here. I don't edit video, but I'm going to start because I hate sketchy marketing practices.

Oh, just to make everyone's life more complicate - ACES! If you, like me, film with a bunch of mismatched cameras, then creating a common environment so that all footage is using the same colour space can make your life a lot easier. Davinci Resolve has two main colour space settings - Resolve RGB and ACES. Both are worth reading up on.

I'm switching to davinci today. Thanks

There is SO much good stuff in here, that I am going to download it, edit it in DaVinci Resolve (free version) as an exercise and KEEP IT FOR EVER as a tutorial! ( ... I came from Microsoft Movie Editor, not Filmora, btw . . . 🤣)
