How to use DaVinci Resolve as a beginner start to finish

[@OurFantasyLife]

This is how all tutorials on KZbin should be. Clear, easy to understand, without being condescending. Perfectly done. Subbed and hit the bell - really looking foward to more as I just switched to Resolve away from Premiere.

[@d.ds.8549]

Finally a video where i can see the guys mouse, he says words clearly and actually SHOWS how to open stuf like the soft roll instead of

[@laurencottle3966]

I've tried so many beginner tutorials and this is the only one that I actually understood. Thank you THANK YOU! Best davinci beginner tutorial out there.

[@TomAndValkyrie]

Dude, this is hands-on the most clearly communicated tutorial I've seen for any editing software. DaVinci should be paying you big bucks.

[@TheBrightPixel]

After years of using Vegas, I finally decided to switch to Resolve. Your tutorials are a great quick start into the platform. I'm watching them all at 1.25x speed (literally) haha. Thanks so much!!!!

[@ralvis20]

I'm right behind you, about to take the plunge. I've spent alot of time (and money) on Vegas, but they really have been left behind after watching this (and the v15 tutorials) in my opinion

[@atomicmediapro]

I know in terms of KZbin, this is an old video. But I just got to say, I really admire and appreciate your level of expertise and confidence in DaVinci Resolve. I had to migrate away from MacOS and come from FCPX and was fairly proficient with that software. I have tried Resolve in the past, just to see what it was about, and now I am using it full time. I feel lost most of the time, especially in the color grading, using nodes. But watching your videos, I have come a long way in a short time and I truly do appreciate your content and the willingness to do it " for free " in this setting. Keep up the great work.

[@JayAreTV]

Thank you!

[@johnnyboy3327]

best DaVinci I have watched. Informative and concise. So appreciate you not wasting time with needless talking.

[@alfiefallejo]

Went to sleep watching your tutorials. Woke up and here I am again. There's so much to learn on this program. Thanks for making these vids!

[@JayAreTV]

Thank you for watching!

[@joshuanun8192]

This tutorial is just awesome. I watched a few beginner' tutorials before . It one of the best. Thanks a lot!!

[@Duffyyy94]

Reallly good job on answering and thinking of problems / questions that beginners would have, rather than questions that an experienced user may have. Keep it up!

[@andthereisntone1]

You are a natural and engaging teacher. Thanks for the extremely useful info :)

[@mauricec6551]

Perfect for someone just getting started. Your overview of the IDE and brief introductions to different video editing concepts was exactly what I was looking for.

[@FredFolkerts]

I have been using Davinci for about a month now. You have just helped me out a lot with my settings to allow for a little easier editing. Nice work and thanks for taking the time to make this video!

[@hannaschild]

it's a big win that I now understand the basics of the program AND I also kind of understad how this whole program is built up

[@christianjoelcaracas4180]

firstly I would like to wish you well and to say a huge thank you for uploading these videos as they have been an invaluable resource to

[@exclusiveaerials]

Been using Da Vinci resolve for months, watched this tut and learned so many more handy tips, really appreciate it. Well done, great vid 👍 you’re a natural

[@JayAreTV]

Thanks, get to play with Resolve 15 yet?

[@exclusiveaerials]

JayAreTV no not yet. How is it?

[@JayAreTV]

I love it! Big updates with the editing, color and fairlight pages. They also added Fusion. I have a ton of other tutorials going over a lot of stuff you can do with Fusion.

[@exclusiveaerials]

JayAreTV will check it out for sure. Is it faster, simpler to use and more effective?

[@JayAreTV]

Hard to say. It's still in beta so it's kinda a 50/50 depending on your hardware.

[@spencercoriaty6235]

Great tutorial, man. Very clear and concise to the point where I actually could follow along unlike other tutorials I've seen. Thanks!!!

[@markrussell.]

Probably the best tutorial/instruction video I have ever seen on You Tube...Subscribed.

[@clydejenkins33]

Great Video. It got a bit too technical for this beginner once you started talking coloration and nodes, but the basics i soaked up like a sponge. Thanks so much. I'm sure once i get more familiar with Davinci Resolve, i'll come back to your video and it will ALL make sense. Thanks again for such a detailed video!

[@arnoldthepotter]

Thanks Jay, glad I found you, thanks for all your work, I've come from Camtasia, then Shotcut and now I'm confident that I'll be able to do the things I wanted to but couldn't with Shotcut. My new YT channel needs motion graphics among other things - what I really like about your tutorials is that you demonstrate the technique AND you explain your creative intent. I really do want to emulate someone who is good at it. That saves me so much time and helps me decide on my own ideas.

[@wufako]

I have watched multiple tutorials and this is the best. Thank you Brethren!

[@zazaland]

very informatve content and straight to the point without any BS. Works even for resolve 16.

[@digitworks]

Excellent tutorial. You should do more of these. Your delivery and techniques are easy to follow, you have a great teaching voice, and your knowledge of the product is amazing. Wish other tutorial KZbinrs were as concise and polished. Thanks again, I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed your presentation.

[@nisibeauty1844]

Your video was very helpful, I'm still learning and getting the hang of it still. I'm into House and EDM. I look forward to seeing more of your

[@goodairin]

JayAre, you are a very articulate, smart guy. What a great overview! Thank you so much.

[@MrPauldcarr]

Very helpful, thanks! You go through the color panel pretty fast, but I thin I understood it well enough to get started.

[@22934760]

Without a doubt the best video explaining DaVinci Resolve to date, would you consider a paid video explaining in more depth and at a slower pace

[@mattspadesoundandvision]

Great video, Jay! Very helpful and concise.

[@matrixate]

Just discovered your toots. Bro...really great hands-on approach. You'll go far.

[@ochelaricopii8671]

Bro,you are a talented young man.I really enjoyed your video.Keep on the great work!

[@OzziesTechStuff]

Learned a few things from this video. You just gained a subscriber! Thanks

[@kudzayichimbodza]

Extremely great video - if not the best Davinci Resolve Tutorials. Thanks!

[@kdub607]

Nice job, good explanation on things. I'm sure this helped out a lot of folks, including myself - so thanks for posting.

[@alexalvarez9462]

Love your video, bestv tutorial for a beginner ( like myself on resolve) that I have seen yet. Helped me so much. I would really love to see one about how to use keyframes from you. Keep up the awesome work.

[@ThomasPalowitchSr]

Jayare, you really know your stuff! Thanks for a very informative video.

[@Merakai01]

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much for sharing and taking the time to put this together! I tried Resolve just once before but I was easily put off when I couldn't find much on how to render the video whilst still in the timeline. Will definitely be giving it another go though now:)

[@manantank]

Very Easy to understand and follow. Thank you!!

[@DocMicha]

Thank you, you made a lot of effort to try to keep all in. That is very nice.

[@theParmo]

Easy to follow. Good pace. Nice work 👍

[@curtzblues]

Terrific intro and lesson. Davinci Resolve rescued me from the horrors of Pinnacle Studio; Corel messed it up pretty good.

[@antoniohernadez103]

Honestly very helpful video, I just got into video editing and recording. Also thanks for the little factoid about the pigs having tasks! That’s crazy I can’t even get myself off bed!

[@victordenny1782]

LOL, I know what you mean but actually he was referring to a unique breed of pigs that have a tassel-like growth under their necks. Sounded like tasks but he actually said tassels. :-)

[@antoniohernadez103]

LMFAO! Hahahaha! That’s too funny lmfao! I can’t stop laughing hahaha!

[@TASEVISUALS]

This is a very helpful video, thanks for sharing it... would happen to have an in-depth tutorial for color grading?

[@JayAreTV]

I have a couple that go over different parts.

[@TASEVISUALS]

I see will check it out thanks!

[@furdfelmer4359]

Great info...how do I increase the BRIGHTNESS settings in the drop menus' for better visibility...my old eyes need more light in the UI...any help...you have been a great help, so far ...thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@wizardhunt69]

Great Training Video for Beginners. Thumbs Up. Hey Can you do a video on how to use Text Bubbles in a project?

[@minoxk6143]

[@godfight7605]

[@totaled2rebuilt818]

Hey what's up Jay Anyway you can make a video and explain how to add picture or image to the Davinci resolve 15 or 16 for editing a thumbnail. I've tried and it gives me a 5 second video it is so frustrating and no longer funny. THX

[@mikenaughton4298]

Thanks for your detailed information. Really helps.

[@bekarutreeservice]

thanks jayare - got quite a few good tips from your video, thank you

[@shaynewaterhouse]

this is one i will look back on as i learn thanks

[@Radian327]

At 1:56 you state once you have created your project you can not change the frame rate. Someone out there found a really neat hack to get around that. Steps 1) Backup your project. 2) Ensure ALL timelines are unlocked. 2) Select all elements on your timeline. EVERYTHING. (CTRL-A) then delete key 3) Now delete all the Media you have in the library. You basically have an empty project now. 4) Now change your frame rate in the project settings. 5) Press CTRL-Z to undo the delete of the media. 6) Press CTRL-Z again to undo the delete of the timeline objects. Done. Your project is restored to the way it was before you did the two delete all steps and now with newly set project level frame rate. Silly this has to be the process... But it works. Radian

[@JayAreTV]

To the untrained eye this seems like it works. You are only adding problems into the equation. Keyframes are connected to frame numbers and not time code like other software on the market.

[@Radian327]

Thank you for this information. My projects have been "simpler" then I'm sure you work on. As such I have not encountered this issue. Obviously the best practice is to set it right up front.

[@Si0bart]

Great Basics video, I downloaded Davinci last night and you show the basics of whats possible, and the few small questions on making it usable from out the box install Looks alot better than Premier elements 14, I've been strugeling with making work, mainly File manandment and colour grading. Davinci looks alot more usable.

[@UltraD52]

Why is 16:9 aspect ration greyed out in Master Settings?

brilliant helpfull tutorial bro.thanks

[@globebox7928]

Hello you can tell me why my soundtrack is not moved in the timeline (link clips is activated). For example, if I move an image clip up a track from v1 to v2 then the sound from the clip to A1 stays with me and does not switch to A2. So sound just doesn't run into the lower track. Something I must have adjusted... just what?

[@estebanrm1608]

My brain exploded like Nagasaki but i slowly understood the whole video the more i watched it

[@ErikFORV3RT]

Very helpful. Thanks for the video!

[@theRhinsRanger]

Brilliant! Thanks for putting this together, appreciate it 👍

[@cmscss]

Thanks for this series, learning a lot. How do you manage databases and projects in the real world? You can’t save project files with your footage (and other assets like AE, PSDs, scripts etc) - right? So there’s no single source of project truth. You can’t move, backup, version control or archive a full project as a whole without extra steps to export/import/archive the Resolve parts. And then you end up with duplicates (one version in Resolve, one in the OS) to manage which is confusing. Do you make a database for each job and save that into a project folder and if so, are lots of small databases painful? What do you do? Any pointers on how to integrate Resolve with a wider project (other apps) or make Resolve projects OS-compatible would be much appreciated! Cheers.

[@theoiv]

Very good video. Thank you.

[@nurb2kea]

Hi Jayare, I have a question about special render settings for unusual sizes and resizing! I pumped up my preferred iMac work resolution to 6400 x 3600 pix and recording several videos via ScreenFlow. They have a big file size too. My QUESTION: - How to setup the project and deliver settings for 1080, 1440 or 2160 H.264/H.265 to upload to youtube, so that the quality is pretty good and file sizes are as small as possible. My tutorial videos are about Photoshop image processing, and needs to be a good 1to1 Quality. (you know, if you can't read the values I'm clicking in the video the quality is poor) - Also what are the best settings to scale my work resolution of 6400 x 3600 pix to the youtube size without any loss of details. Usually I end up with 1-2 Gig's of shabby quality. But I want to reduce the files as good as it's possible and keep the quality as best as it can be. I know that are many questions, at least for me, juggling with all the settings. Thanks in advance PS: Thanks for all your tutorials. They almost all hit the spot of my questions I run into. :-)

Complement!!! Exactly what I needed. So many thanks!!! LuBi

You are a fantastic teacher!

[@terrybreen3331]

Thanks JayAre, great tutorials; I have a problem though, when I attempt to transform a clip in the timeline viewer and I click on the transform button at the bottom left of the timeline viewer and turn it on, I loose the picture to a black screen with the transform box in it, how do I get it to keep the picture I want to transform? clicking on the clip does nothing neither does trying to drag from the timeline into the viewer?

[@patrickfabrie1573]

Really helpful, great video👌

[@windmarkus]

Amazingly done video. But i have a problem and hope you can help me. I just downloaded the latest version of da Vinci resolve and for some reason my interface looks totally different than yours. On the bottom of the color grading videos you have 3 windows you can adjust. The bottom left is for camera raw, color match, color weels and so on, the bottom middle for curves and so on and the bottom right for keyframes and scopes. For some reason I only have 2 windows on the bottom which i can adjust and generally my whole interfaces looks different. I hope you can help me because with this problem its not possible for me to follow your tips. Best regards

[@ralvis20]

You probably downloaded DR version 15, this is from 14

[@mohammedhagos1284]

i guess i have the same problem, thou it only shows two windows, the most important thing is that the tabs above the windows are the same from camera raw to 3D tab, some how it looks like they all have been combined to be previewed in one window, where as here the are separated into two

Hello, you seem like a pro to me, so maybe you can help me solve a problem i cannot fix by the help of forums etc. How do i get rid off the error message "Media offline"? Can you help me?

[@JayAreTV]

Resolve can't find the video file. You need to relink the clip.

[@yhvhdeutschland9445]

Thank you for this quick reply! Now i put all the clips on the same HDD like Davinci Resolve, created a whole new project, put the clips into the media pool and also relinked the clips. Poorly the problem remains. But thank you anyhow!

[@kaushikkodi7365]

Awesome tutorial!!!

[@tizianareinoso6373]

Nice tutorial

[@alexmorigo4753]

Thanks Jayare. I have a quick question. Say I import 4k footage onto a 1080 timeline with this setting "project settings=>image=>scaling=>mismatched resolution files=>Scale Entire Image to fit". If I then zoom into a clip on the timeline (using Transform), does Resolve go back to the original 4k footage for the transform, or does it use the footage on timeline ? If it uses the footage on the timeline, there will be a loss of quality because it is scaling an already scaled image.

Great vidoes! I reviewed the vendor's specs and it is pretty beefy/$$$$ and am wondering if that is why I am seeing a lot of bugs and crashes with Resolve 15. Prior to REsolve I have had zero issues with Premiere, but with Resolve it doesn't seem to like my 4GB GPU (throws frequent messages about out of GPU memory) , I get crashes , hangs ... etc on m i7 16GB RAM system.

[@kaushikkodi7365]

I have a question. For beginners in colour grading, what do u think is better, is it to work with flat profile videos or standard profile videos. Please reply.

[@JayAreTV]

Work with a standard profile to start. Things can get messy and unusable quick if you don't know all of the tools.
