Exactly 💯

Hey, you have to get those clicks somehow! 😅

Pro Tip: NEVER USE THE DELETE KEY on the edit page. If you want to remove a clip, select it and hit the backspace key. Then, if you want to remove the gap as well, select the gap between clips and hit the backspace key again. I know this sounds like more work, but believe me, this will save you heart ache. The delete key does something somewhat unusual in Davinci Resolve; particularly if you are working in multiple layers. When you delete a clip off the timeline it also removes the gap without proper respect to the various layers of all the clips to the right. What that means is if you have nearly finished a project and then go back to remove 1 clip from the middle, using delete can screw up ever edit to the right of that on the timeline. If you insist on trying it, experiment carefully and be prepared to hit undo (Ctrl-Z) if you are not happy with the outcome. It may be that there is some special case that this IS what you wanted to do. But I found repeatedly that DELETE caused nothing but trouble. I have stopped using it entirely. Since I don't use the cut page at all, I am not sure how DELETE responds on that page. I am only saying this regarding the edit page.

[@resenhasdoflow7868]

This happened to me. It screwed my video. I just noticed it after on

[@RobUnwraps]

Amen. Ripple delete will cut a lot of stuff from other tracks on your timeline and can mess you up bad.

[@glennfordsolinap8606]

or just change the customization keys for backspace and delete...i mean that's more work but it gets the job done...

[@coycoymcoy]

thank you for sharing your knowledge Sir.

[@scottabergermd]

@@glennfordsolinap8606 great input! Thank you for the added perspective. Can you please elaborate on exactly what changes to the shortcuts you suggest, and a brief how to make it happen. Much appreciated.

[@lovetotravel1638]

Yesterday I bought a course for my son, who is 13. He already took a short offline course where they made a short film from beginning to the end and he also knows pretty well Premier Pro and After Effects. He knows English very well but still sometimes its not easy to understand some educational videos for a non native speaker. So we checked the course yesterday and couldnt belive that such a perfect, well structurized and taught in perfectly understandable English course exists and at such a minimum prize!!!!! Thank you so so much!!! I want to recommend it to everybody who is interested in the film making, its really step by step explaning all what is necessary. We also got several courses from Udemy but its simply uncomparable. Dont hesitate, buy this course!

[@aSimpleChat]

I don’t recall this channel but I am definitely impressed! The way you explained Color nodes and using Fusion for the title nodes was so simple and clear. I don’t recall anyone else mentioning “think of it as XXXX”. Your age doesn’t matter, but I do want to point out that for being a younger person, your explanations and examples are clearer than some of the more long time older people. And you don’t speak to fast so the spread to follow jus trade it that much more valuable. Kudos to you . I’m for sure a NOW subscriber because you know what you’re doing. It doesn’t matter how “PRO” someone is if no one is uninterested in listening because you can’t relate it and make it digestible. You deserve the 1 million subscribers. Appreciate you!!!!

[@JAWN.]

After 7 years working exclusively in FCP and switching to Davinci, this video got me up and running in one evening. Great job, and thank you!

[@grumpyclark]

I've been looking at quite a lot of tutorials on this software and this is by far the best - not too long and not too fast paced, thank you :)

[@BostonTerrierDad623]

This young man is one of the best instructors & communicators that I’ve ever been around. I was coached by some of the best basketball coaches in the nation, I’ve been around some of the best teachers, professors & educators, as well. He is outstanding and all of his punches land!! 😂 This stuff can be daunting for a 50 year old man, but I love being around all this stuff & learning continuously. Im glad I found you. I’m locked & loaded on your channel, my friend. Thank you for bringing your knowledge, abilities & giftedness to others within this forum. It is as unselfish as it is rare these days. You have a new, big, positive fan in me. Thank You!

[@lifewalklens8447]

Switching over...??? Will love you guys to dive deep into colour grading with Davinci, node tree, colour correction, colour separation and film looks thanks so much for coming over

[@Poster88]

This was a great crash course for beginners to work with DaVinci Resolve. Really great job of explaining the tabs and nodes.

[@robbholmes9215]

This was not a great cause for beginners you liar

[@theoutdoorpicture]

I’ve been using FCP for a long time but after watching this video, it’s time to switch to DaVinci, you explained it so well 👍🏻🙌🏻

[@Videosonyourwebsite]

THANK YOU for explaining nodes in the fusion page where I can finally understand it! Great work.

[@JohnHenderson_R7P]

About to start my new job as an editor and the company is switching to resolve as there main editor. Can't wait to check out the full course

[@SpecialDad]

Thank you. I have used Premiere for DECADES! This video is direct and to the point and I’m confident enough to jump into DiVinci.

[@lennwel]

Great video! I was used to Adobe Premiere Pro and was actually hesistant to switching to DaVinci Resolve. Now I think it's actually better in using it than Premiere. I will still need to get used to everything it has to offer, but I think it's the better choice.

[@collinbarham5985]

Yes! thank you!! I'm switching from the adobe suite to Resolve, this is so helpful!

[@RaccEnthusiast]

I've been using this for a year and this video still showed me stuff I never knew existed!

[@tripnigrey]

DaVinci Resolve is like Premiere, After Effects, Lightroom, Photoshop, Audition and Media Encoder combined together. Great video!

[@instrumentlegend]

Exactly!!! It's pretty dynamic as well as user - friendly 😍

[@froznfire9531]

Not really lol PS and LR and two totally different tools and Resolve doesnt come close to AE

[@brettdurham8975]

Super new to everything related to post-production, and have minimal experience with premiere pro. Downloaded the free version of DaVinci Resolve to check it out before I buy but had no idea how to get started using it. This video just solved all of that. Thank you.

[@tims.2832]

So well structured, thanks

[@KristophTy]

The way you guys explain literally EVERYTHING on your channel is 100X better than 99.99% Of other Content Creators i watch... I just get it when I watch you guys... Thank You!

[@BostonTerrierDad623]

Is he amazing or what? He hit it out of the park with me & I responded the same way. He didn’t get all fancy or talk like he was trying to sell himself upward. This was cornbread language 101: simplicity w/o dumbing down…highest quality communication you can find. Sensational & he didn’t even have a weird voice. 😂

[@yashthkr]

Really informative video to start the Da Vinci Resolve journey! Thanks.

[@Jburneyjr]

I've definitely did some videos in davinci and didn't know half of what you're doing. Appreciate the teaching tools.

The Video I Was Waiting For 🔥🔥🔥

Coming back to Davinci Resolve. This is refreshing.

[@benwilliams7502]

This is by far the best video on the web. Thank and I jus signed up for your course. Great job!!

[@DoctorSeitan]

Thank you for this! Resolve became my main editor, but still figuring it out.

[@gitarmats]

I've been using it for a long time, but learned a few small tricks! Thanks!

[@miriamxx3621]

Great Video, love how you make it look so understandable. Much love

[@Kingreshofficial]

This is the best top down understanding of Davinci Resolve yet ! ❤

[@ekphotography]

Thanks, I needed a refresh after not using DR for a couple of years, I have too many plugins I use in FCPX but needed to color grade a project recently in DR and needed a refresh. I would really like to edit in DR but just cannot get use to it yet and missing too many plugins I use with FX factory among others.

[@s.williams30]

Bro this is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen! I’m shying away from Premiere much as I can😂 Da Vinci Resolve hands down much faster & convenient💯💪🏽

Thank you for this video. straight forward, easy to understand, covers most basics. It was helpful.

[@teimelv]

thank you very much! i love your work, and i will join to the academy!

[@eastwoodsadventures]

Brilliant explanations, thank you. Was using Filmora, but they have suspended my account as they claim I have breached the EULA by using it on more than one device. I haven't, and all that has changed was my laptop upgrading from Windows 10 to 11. Customer services are useless, and I still can't export projects I have ready after over 2 weeks. I downloaded Davinci, but I must admit it blew my mind a bit at first, but it makes sense now. So I will give it a go for my next project.

[@joshuaswannmusic6462]

Thanks for this. Ive used Final Cut too long to switch completely but what I find useful in DR is the ability to decode RAW files, do a quick cut and export it into Final Cut.

[@thisiserich]

I’ve been using premiere pro for years now, I just used davinci resolve for my latest project and I like it so much better than premiere. Davinci seems like it was really developed by editors, for editors. The organization is so much better and everything just feels like it’s in the right place. I’ll be using resolve from now on until I find a reason not to, which I don’t think is likely. Plus the nodes are top notch.

[@schoeferfilm]

Normally I work with the professional Edius X but I have the DavinciRessolve 18 studio version too 👍🏻 it is really powerful but when you work for years with one editing software it is hard to change your process

[@drift_ah1518]

lol - i hit that bottleneck with audio software so i edit my audio elsewhere and import - just a faster workfllow - but the color module and especially using the color templates (LUTS) is just fascinating

In case you dont know carefull with speedramps, stabilizing etc. if you apply these to the clip before color grading and you copy and paste the grade from 1 clip to another all effects in the edit area will now be reset. a stupid bug that hasnt been fixed since davinci 16

This is awesome. I have been wanting to switch to Davinci but I thought it was going to be way to advanced for me to figure out. This makes me feel like I can pull off some good basic edits. Question. If I film almost everything at 4K 24 fps, but I film a few clips at 60 fps so I can slow them down, but I set my project at 24 fps. Will I be able to slow those clips down with out the software freaking out?
