*KEYBOARD SHORTCUT RECAP* A lot of his shortcuts are the same as the Adobe Premiere defaults but the shortcuts he added are really helpful and I am excited to use them as I transition to Davinci. Thanks Zach! TAB = OPEN MEDIA POOL Q = TRIM START OF CLIP W = SPLIT CLIP E = TRIM END OF CLIP I = IN O= , = ADD TO END OF TIMELINE *SKIMMING CLIPS* J = REVERSE K = STOP L = FORWARD R = SPEED X = RIPPLE DELETE S= SNAP Feel free to correct me if I mixed any of these up or missed any.

[@perera7]

i'm not finding "open media pool" anywhere. how can i find it?

[@CurlyEditor]

@@perera7 If you're still looking for this I figured it out. Open the Keyboard Customization Window > Click the Search bar on the far right next to the Show All Dropdown Menu> Type in show > Scroll Down to Workspace > Hit the Arrow Next to Show Panel in Workspace > Scroll Down to Where it Says Medial Pool > Select the Blank Area Next to that and Press Tab > Then You're Done and Your Macro is Now Set. Hopefully this helps. :)

[@SuperScaryWolf]

@@CurlyEditor THANKS you're a lifesaver :D was struggling for like 10 mins

[@michaeljamesmedia]

Hands down the best and most concise video I have found on making this switch happen.

[@Itsanasmusic]

I didn't realize a tutorial can be this entertaining just to watch. You've earned yourself a subscriber! Thank you.❤😂

[@danwucreative]

I've never laughed out loud watching any DaVinci Resolve tutorial videos, until now. The FART BOOM.mp3 killed me. Humor is on another level. LIFETIME SUBSCRIBER!!!

[@studioafkai]

Beautifully paced easy to learn workflow. Appreciate you. Went to Capcut Pro for awhile because of how fast it was for shorts, but now back to Davinci because of Capcut Pro price increases

[@hospobimbo]

Easily one of the greatest KZbin tutorials… of all time. Thank you Zach!! Been teetering on switching from premiere to Davinci for yonks now and finally made the plunge which led me here. Literally how you explained the pain points of premiere is my internal rage dialogue every day working in it. RIP Adobe. Instant subscribe ❤

[@LucasHalastra]

I'v just switched, and im loving it. Refreshing, after years of adobe workflow it feels smoother and organic.

[@ZachMayfield]

Refreshing is the perfect word. I feel like my hair is growing back from lack of stress

[@LucasHalastra]

@@ZachMayfield Hahaha, same here, i even started to push out the trauma of using proxy files! :)

[@PRARTS.]

are you still using davinci one year later?

[@NonaPrince]

Man this is exactly what I wanted and your style just made it perfect. Felt like a friend is sharing it with me. Hope you have made or make more such videos of transitioning will be really helpful

[@DIYDirtclub]

Dude this is exactly what I needed. I have been editing in premiere for the last 7 or 8 years. This definitely demystified the switch. Excited to try it out. Thanks for the tips!

[@Dane.Alexander]

This tutorial is elite. I hope DaVinci is compensating you appropriately, because this is the video that’s given me the confidence to make the switch.

[@dianneandsuroy]

Wow, I bit the bullet and got Davinci Resolve 2 days ago and this is the first Premiere to Davinci change tutorial that actually helps. So in-depth, so funny. Thanks dude!

[@kenminleong]

Was super overwhelmed trying to transition but your downloadable keyboard shortcuts and your personality in this video made the whole process actually enjoyable haha thank you for this!

[@NTLDmedia]

I really love the way you teach and explain core concepts. i've been editing for a while and wanted to switch, but you not only explaining a tool/workflow but also giving examples for their utility really helped me understand and "get it". Great work, in another life you would've been a teacher for sure!

[@suwiwu]

Best thing I ever did. I've used Premiere over 8 years but I was finally fed up with all the BS so I decided to give it a try. It asks you what program you used before so it setups timeline similar to program that you used. Give it a day or two and you will never go back, just like that first iPhone you got instead the android. You never look back!

[@xypleth]

Such a great thought-of, simple, natural, funny, yet not overproduced and manipulatively overthought content from Zach. I recently started using the program as well, I know most of (but not well) what's thought by you, but it was still a pleasure to dive through, laugh a bit, and learn a few bit tiny things from you. A pleasure watching your content, keep it real.

[@danielkrige7611]

Been on Premiere for as long as I can remember, and was of course overwhelmed by this change, but this video is great, and helped me a lot thank you, youre a legend!

[@sto4media]

I've been using Premier for years and hate the subscription model. This is definitely a game changer for me. Subscribed

[@stevewhitehead7318]

One of the most helpful videos I have ever watched! Nice one Zach! In the process of finishing my last project in Premiere before the big move. I have done some practicing in Resolve and so far I love it! The colour grade trick of copying the grades between clips… wow! What a time saver that is! 👌🏻

[@akyhne]

If all your clips are very identical, you can also do a timeline based grade. Or for example the color space transform in one go.

[@RuaridhKidd]

These videos have been a savior Zach! For someone who’s been using Pr for 6 years, it’s exciting to try a new software but even better when someone explains things super well. Cheers Zach! 🤙🏼

[@ColtKirwan]

Your humor is so underrated

[@tanmoyroyy]

Thank you thank you thank you.. i was watching the resolve website tutorials but they aren't making the exact style of videos there that i make. But this is exactly what i needed to quickly go through the basics. But i wished you would've shared the "speed ramping" and "masking" methods also but maybe for another day. But hey, Thanks again zach!

[@ZachMayfield]

no thank YOU! I thought about including those things but honestly my knowledge is very limited on those topics. Although I did see that Resolve's latest update has some crazy magic masking that I plan on testing!

[@TommyWilson-v7f]

What an awesome video from start to finish. I laughed, I cried. But seriously, I hit the point of no return with Premiere this week when my spec'd up M2 Pro Mac couldn't handle a 4K clip in the timeline without constant beach-balling and using 103% CPU (?!?!). Da Vinci is a breath of fresh air but learning a new tool after 10+ years of Adobe was/is terrifying. This video helped loads, so thanks

[@sinestrocorpmax7948]

to say this video was helpful is an understatement, it made the transition to davinki that much easier, not only did i really learn a lot, but also had a good time. really enjoyable video!

[@TProductions93]

Bro, your killin it! This toutorial is so fantastic!

[@johnnyrotit844]

You forgot also Windows 11 as a reason with it's new AI Copilot. Many will switch to Linux and this is a great option as Premiere only works on Windows.

[@sharpywilliam4513]

I did it Zach, I finally committed and switched to Davinci. This tutorial helped me greatly, theres not turning back now!

[@aaravtanwar6731]

KZbin deserves creators like YOU my man, beautiful vid! Cheers 🥂

[@maliksikandermov]

Dude you're awesome, love your vibe. And thanks for this perfect video, i'm a professional industry editor trying to understand the davinci landscape. Cheers man

[@sammathew2606]

Most helpful tutorial of all time, thanks for the shortcut preset download as well!!! instant subscribe

[@scottrgarland]

I watched a 2hr and another 4hr Resolve Course here on YT and I learned more in this video than the ENTIRE 6 hours I spent on the others. Thanks man!

[@maximfueralle]

this was great. I'm very used to Premiere, but now instantly feel faster in devinci than in Premiere thanks to your shortcuts.

[@taliajo118]

Thanks so much for this, Zach! I've just decided to "leave the dark side" and make the switch to Resolve. Your video has been SUPER helpful in giving me a quick introduction to the Resolve interface. (I don't think it will be as difficult as I expected!). I know I'll be referencing this video again as I work through my first Resolve project. Thanks again! :)

[@spencertorok]

yeww! this was so good zach!! Tab shortcut is genuis! (also not really the same but I mapped G to "normalize audio" - kinda hits the same as audio gain in pr)

[@ForeverDansky]

Thanks so much Zach, this video was super helpful! 👊

[@philjarrett9213]

I've been a Premiere holdout for way too long and this is the video that made me flip.

[@ΑλεξηςΧατζογλου]

Thanks Zach! The humorous breaks really helped follow along. You stand out from the average cringy youtube tutorial. I edited my first video on DaVinci in a day after this tutorial!!!

[@ZachMayfield]

heck yes I'm so glad to hear that!

[@BenZerrer]

Great Video. Easy to understand, solid humour and actionable! Love you for the free keyboard bindings that are quite similar to my previous premiere ones.

[@Querxes]

This video was awesome! Thanks for making this

[@WrittenandCreated]

Great tutorial, thank you! Just switched from Adobe Premiere and this helps a ton.

[@Matein13]

I know I'm waaaaaayyy late to the party, I'm just learing DaVinci and good god is this video absolutely amazing at getting set up. Thanks so much for this!

[@goldanhour]

I've started the switch to resolve, editing the first wedding job that I filmed last week. Thanks for the tips my guy!

[@ZachMayfield]

Best of luck Dan, I think you're gonna enjoy it after you get used to the interface!

[@uwumiYT]

i'm switching over to davinci for 2024 and this is SUCH a good video, ty!! ^^

[@MattMatheson]

Another tip when creating another serial node is you can press alt+s to create a new node already shoe-stringed together after the selected node.

[@akyhne]

Much faster, much easier.

[@MaxMitchellVideos]

Loved this video. Not only informative but entertaining as well. Good job.

[@ItsSleepyxo]

Nice - this one is going to help out a lot of folks ready to make the switch.

[@vamosamuel]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS!

[@cinema-q]

🗣️🗣️ Thank you Zach!! Im finally ready to switch, and I was SO happy to remember this video existed 👌🏾👌🏾

[@gabeminetti]

Thanks Zach! I've been waiting for this, since you mentioned it recently, to also finally make the switch!

[@ZachMayfield]

I wish you the best of luck on this journey. It may not always be easy, but I assure you it's worth it brother.

[@Gaurav-l3z2s]

Thank you so much, Best resolve tutorial I have ever seen... 👍

[@flodynastyvi]

🤣🤣🤣🤣wow at this point I almost need to find your premiere pro video. Very nice so far... got me excited for migrating away from Premiere... Instant subscriber from the US Virgin Islands. I cracked up throughout and also responded as if we were conversating in person. Very impressive

[@mokshjain4621]

Thanks for your shortcuts, saved my job

[@JosephQaqish]

Super helpful thanks for this! Been sus about making the switch but this vid has given me hope!

[@Tijd4Jan]

Thank you so much! Great to have a tutorial where I can learn and laugh :D

[@jonlucandjackie]

I love that we are all feed up with adobe. lets goooo zachhh!

[@theqc]

Thanx a lot.. this was the best. this video is epic level good. I dont know this video saved a ton of time for me. take love from India

[@jaxwillbejax]

is there a video where you cover how you made your 80's retro motion graphics intro title?? Looks amazing!

[@asliagyat]

how you set tab to open media pool? Can't find the exact command please help

[@CurlyEditor]

If you're still looking for this I figured it out. Open the Keyboard Customization Window > Click the Search bar on the far right next to the Show All Dropdown Menu> Type in show > Scroll Down to Workspace > Hit the Arrow Next to Show Panel in Workspace > Scroll Down to Where it Says Medial Pool > Select the Blank Area Next to that and Press Tab > Then You're Done and Your Macro is Now Set. Hopefully this helps. :)

[@MustafaShaheen]

Awesome vid! Looking forward to more tutorials from you. You're a great teacher!

[@fahxrongx]

Thankful.I am just switch the programs,but am stuck for long time.

[@dittoisblue]

very helpful video, thank you zach! i love ur humour :)

[@DanTyler]

Just when I wanted to switch to Resolve! I will watch this carefully :) Thanks Zach for the video

[@ZachMayfield]

It's just for you :)

[@jacobharris3017]

Amazing tutiorial thank you so much! Super helpful ❤

[@HeatherCashArt]

Thank you so much for this video! I was wondering, when you click Q to delete the first part of a clip, is it possible to make it not leave an empty gap? In Premiere Pro it also shifts the clip back so that there is not a gap between. (Hope that makes sense) Thanks so much!

[@akyhne]

I don't know what shortcut he used for Q, but when you either use backspace or Delete, they act different. One deletes the gap, the other doesn't.

[@createwithaira]

This is so helpful! thank you so much!

[@heckensteiner4713]

Great video! Somehow I came away learning how to cut my cat's nostril hairs. Also, thank god you showed that export project feature. I almost uninstalled the DaVinci when I saw I couldn't save project files. I use my own cloud system and I need to be able to save project files in a specific locations, not some top secret database on my C drive. I'll give DaVinci another chance and hopefully that feature does what I need! I can't wait to drop the buggy, bloated mess that is Premiere.

[@akyhne]

You can save your video files and project files, wherever you want.

[@unlockthepicture]

Thanks a lot! I struggled a lot to get used to it

[@EspenJohan]

Im so glad you made the switch Zach, Davinci is ten times better then premiere.

[@ZachMayfield]

It took me a hot minute to make the jump, but I'm feeling stoked. A big thing I miss is the transform effect in premiere. I loved making crazy zooms with motion blur.

[@akyhne]

@@ZachMayfield Use Fusion for that. It's also better (more accurate result).

[@maximilianandereya2415]

Really good. Love your thinking and practicality. One question remains for me. Is there a possibility to see the keyboard shortcuts on the displayed keyboard without putting your cursor on it? Like in PP?

[@santiagovallory2768]

Haha great content! Plain simple and fun

[@yayafilms1144]

killin' it!! Thank you

[@NOOBolveGamer]

amazing brother thank you so much for this 😍😍

[@JRHainsworth]

I'm getting no sound in DaVinci from any of my clips :( It shows the sound bar moving when the clip it playing, and my system settings have the correct device...

[@BeccaPatches]

22:37 I * think * I figured it out: I think audio gain in Davinci is "Increase Volume." I tried typing "increase" instead of "gain" into the keyboard preferences, "Monitoring" popped up, and if you click on it, "Increase Volume" shows up. Hopefully that works!

[@akyhne]

yeah, BlackMagic name their things different and uses more technical industry terms. Something a PP user will have to deal with.

[@RachelLin3]

You had me at gamma correction luts

[@AdamSzarmack]

Option S to make a new color node.

[@thevisualmetaphor]

Thank you Sir!

[@dustashes-everythingtheology]

Dang, this video was amazing!

[@williamdelacey]

Bloody epic video. Thank you!

[@DaveEngle-iy1gi]

Incredibly helpful! Thanks!

[@Sergio.GonzalezPrats]

Best tutorial ever

[@jemandvondort1585]

Loved the video! Can you tell which software you used to record the screen?

[@Jojonymos]

I love adobe but there 2 reasons Im about to switch: 1st: Monthly subscribtion (technicly not a problem but the price they want monthly is not fair imo) 2nd: you have most of the programs in pne program (sound editing, "after effects" etc etc)

[@JonasSelim]

Was unsure whether to subscribe or not. Then came the fart boom. Subscribed immediately.

[@lulabreacts]

man i will subscribed, im starting with this video the change from premiere to davinci. When you said 300 one time, i was like "oh yeah f*ck adobe"

[@Adamination]

is there a keyboard shortcut for having audio constant transition in Davinci like Premier?

[@diptha_pranasta]

Its help me a lot👊 and also entertaining me😂

[@Cfcp]

Thanks

[@66777jason]

Thank you I appreciate the help man

[@gascl]

bro i still use premiere pro 2012 with same year hardware at this point i just stop updating

[@akyhne]

You don't know what you're missing out on. DaVinci Resolve has hardware acceleration, for playback and render, even in the free version. It's much faster.

[@prashantshakya2964]

Your tutorial is too good

[@floranknz]

I’m curious, why is it better to do Color adjustment then Rec709 LUT? I would have done the opposite (because I remember Premiere Pro starts with « base adjustments » then « creative adjustments »

[@akyhne]

He's also doing it the wrong way. Not that you can't get a good grade out of your clips his way, but it's just wrong. Always do your color space transform(s) on the very first node and last. Also, name your nodes, especially if you have many. The color wheels work the best by doing e.g. log to DaVinci Wide Gamut on the first node and DaVinci Wide Gamut to rec.709 on your last. Darren Mostyn has some great videos on the topic, 2-3 years back on his YT page, and why you should do it that way. He's a professional color grader.

[@martinneely]

Hey Zach, New to the channel but found you because I’m planning on making the jump, however, can I transfer/bring a project across from PP and continue the edit on DaVinci? Or are my PP projects lost to me unless opened on PP? Thanks for the excellent tutorial, I’ll be checking out more in the future. M

[@alinosgg]

Amazing vid !

[@arifturgan]

FİRST REASON NOT PAY MONTHLY

[@7topseven7]

Love adobe but ya this is the reason I’m switching. Paying monthly is a scam.

[@sebastianetmer3835]

Lovely Video but my settings are not the same when i am switching the keyboard settings from Davinci to Premiere :/

[@Flaxlino2]

So Zach, something that you did not show, and Im having a problem with, is, different form premiere in Davinci if I want to extend a clip that I cut, but there is another clips right next to it, extending the first one will cut over the second one, and i dont want that, i want Davinci to just puth the clip that follows the one im extendin, not to step over it. Do u hae a solution for this?

[@akyhne]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYbXhXmsjLFjbrs

[@skeletor.stramen]

I heard that da vinci allows you to export all audio channels as an polywav. Is that really true?? If that is true, that opens so many doors.. it makes audio mixing so easy.. if that is true, then I am switching tomorrow.

[@Funay31]

Can you choose the codec, the res, the bitrate the color range etc when you generate proxies? Or is it just doing it's job by default?

[@akyhne]

The codec, yes. Not the bitrate.

[@Moguandleo]

What course are you taking for fussion?
