Dude it's so insane. I'm quarantined home with a corona infection and just wanted to beef up my DaVinci skills for a bit instead of doing nothing. Now i'm completely stuck on your videos for 3 days straight. Can't wait for your premium animate template versions you told me a view videos ago. You, Dunna Did It and Joris Hermans tought me than a vocational training ever could the last three days. Thanks a lot man. I can't even tell you how thankful i am. I will buy your premium templates, even if i wouldn't need them.

[@HamedEmine]

Add Casey Faris to your list, you'll thank me later!

[@robwalker7245]

Dude!! over the past couple of years of watching your AMAZING videos i have learned a TON thank you for helping us poor videographers trying to up our game!!! you have exceeded beyond your expectations i would think!!

[@leesmith4522]

There's never a time I come here I don't learn one heck-of-a lot; thanks so much for the great work, Alex.

[@andywhiteing]

Thanks for all the cool new stuff to try out. For me this program is like a 7 day cruise I took one year with Royal Caribbean on a Hugh ship Oasis class. I spent the whole week revisting the fun area that I found. It wasnt until my last night that I found a hidden gem of a restaurant (that is free also). I said oh I wish I had seen this earlier in the cruise and the server said well why didnt you know about us? It is very easy to get to know and like a few features to get comfortable with them. Like the ship they dont really push all the things that you can do. I appreciate you taking the time to show us all the other fun stuff to try out.

The paper edge effect is so helpful because prior to this if I wanted to use a mask the color border as as you showed it ignores it. But now there's finally a way to put a border around a masked item. Thanks for sharing awesome tips as always and even though I'm familiar with half of these tools I always learn something new to do with them from your videos. The watermark feature looks awesome but can you limited it to only show one image instead of an entire row of images?

[@ProWrestlingPsychology101]

Could use zoom and make it only take up that much space.

[@BrianBrayMedia]

Thanks for this. I've really struggled with creating simple borders around insets. The Colored Border effect is basically useless, so I'm very happy to see it can be done within the Paper Edge effect. Worth watching just for that, but the other effects are very cool too.

[@avdcam]

Love open fx crop, super useful for those times when you want to quickly reuse crops. Then again i've now mostly moved on to use fusion adjustment layers for reusing crops, but still so helpful.

[@Taijj]

I'm only half through the video and have already learned a ton a new things I need! Thank you!

[@Sustainavore]

OMG, this fixed my frustration with the border tool. Thank you!

[@FPSpsychoYT]

11:36 this has to be the single best feature for me. I love adding stroke or outer glow to things in my thumbnails, or images/videos shown in smaller frames on the screen while I'm commentating over them. Actually perfect!

[@TaifurGaMing]

BG with watermark + Nosie Distortion is COOL🔥 man !! thx 😊

[@zarzycka.editor]

Great tips :) I'd love to see more about effects on edit page, they have so much to offer when you play around with the settings.

[@NastarGaming6]

That Transform effect is what i need! thanks for the information

[@Ryzza5]

I'm surprised at how surprisingly useful these are.

[@MrAlexTech]

I am victorious!!!!! 😄

[@Keith.W]

I recon that hungry caterpillar has been eating your doughnuts!

[@MrAlexTech]

Haha I think so! Pesky caterpillars

[@iandawkins2182]

Your videos are like Davinci Resolve, getting better and better. Respect and thanks 👍👍

[@MrAlexTech]

Cheers Ian! Always a School day :) I'm still learning and developing as much as everyone else.

[@V-adventurous]

Thanks for the video I didn’t even know I could do all that in DR.

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

Anybody try to go back a tad and try using his DiVinci screen to do so? Just me, Ha! This guy is so talented, it's quite perplexing!

[@MrAlexTech]

I aim to Perplex! 😄 Many thanks :)

[@jear100]

I was making frames for videos couple of hours ago, and the paper edge would’ve saved me like 20 minutes. Thanks for the helpful tips!

[@353Studios]

This was a collection of treasure! Thank you .

[@nashhall694]

So simple & easy to use. I wasn’t aware of most of these tips. Thankyou🙏🤗👍🥰

[@gallen0]

Your tutorials are Fantastic, Great Energy ! Thanks a lot for sharing !!!

[@chestermillan2361]

Got a handful of fun watching this surprises. 😆

[@sprocketsanddubs4703]

That paper edge effect works so well when making text bolder and the drop shadow is just a bonus. This makes my movie trailer reconstruction work just a little bit easier, very timely video. Thanks Alex and keep 'em coming.

[@carl.1up]

Great tips, thanks a lot!!!

[@raymobula]

Awesome. The awareness of options helps so much. Your channel is a never ending source of knowledge.

[@wschaffrinski]

That was a surprisingly useful idea! Thank you

[@wxexw]

Did not know about the generator versions - super cool!

[@ClueFPS]

That tip about adding a transform effect is such a life saver!

[@sebastianodibusti]

Excelent video Mr Alex, Maybe you could make a top of the fusion effects🤭

[@TheThinkersBible]

Really useful information. I’ll probably used only the Transform tool and the Paper Edge but they will both be very useful.

[@lauritee]

Amazing tips! big thanks!

[@JasonYadlovski]

You rock man! Great stuff as always! 😁👍

[@HarounKola-bc6ys]

Awesome tips to speed up my workflow.

[@wo0dy]

that paper edge thing is kind of huge for such a simple tool!

[@3dchick]

Great tips! I had zero idea these existed!

[@AM23.]

Dang the fire with the noise is awesome!!!! How did you become such a magician on DR?!

[@BombasticSly]

Yeah definitely enjoyed this video! There was at least 3 things here I've been wanting to do but didnt know to do them! Mind has been blown! 😂

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

Dear lord that edge rounding.. Alex I've already got my first and second born slated to be named after you I guess we'll have to queue up my next pet to be named after you also now.

[@AndyKow]

Awesome tips! Thanks for making and sharing!

[@wxexw]

Hadn't found the watermark tool yet - that's NICE.

[@rtvisionmedia]

I can't believe that paper edge is so simple... I had no idea it was there and was looking for just this very effect earlier today. You're amazing!

[@CravingCanada]

This video was surprisingly useful.

Yes indeed! Got a few more coming next week too :)

[@RuiManuel]

Thanks!! ❤

[@jerejuliusvlogit]

Most accurate title ever! These suprisingly do have uses :D

[@RealTechnoPanda]

Have you noticed some bugs in the latest resolve 18.6? For example when I cut and delete clips from my timeline, sometimes the audio and video goes out of sync. But when I close the application and start again, automatically the audio and video are back in sync. I've never encountered this error before. Seems like 18.6 is buggy

[@MrAlexTech]

I actually haven't! I know that's a common issue many people are having but mine has been smooth sailing!

[@Veedotme]

Just had to uninstall and go back to 18.5 today. I had the audio desync as well and some pretty substantial performance drops when trimming start and end segments. Other people on the BMD forums are having the same issues, so i'm hopefully it will be resolved soon.

[@RealTechnoPanda]

@Veedotme I also uninstalled Davinci Resolve 18.6 and reverted back to 18.5 Too many bugs and performance issue

[@_Caddac]

I'm voting for all videos going forward to be done with polygon Alex shown at 14:07

[@demetrixxx8962]

Lovely. Thank you.

[@egavasnai]

Superb as ever!

[@jaywjay2011]

That’s surprisingly useful

[@MrAlexTech]

Boom! Validation ha! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@SmartHomeJunkie]

Very helpful indeed!

[@DanielBrown-cc4hw]

Thank you!!!

[@jessecumberledge4530]

Paper edge ftw. Thanks, its so hard to keep up with everything BM is throwing at us.. they are crazy!

[@swapnilkawade]

helpful bro

[@mohamedzhra9050]

Thank you ❤

[@devonwhite6923]

TOP SHELF AS USUAL!!!

[@tiagohardman]

Dear Alex I just want to thank you for your content =)~ You inspire me and my content a lot =)

[@rosecoloredglasses-logan]

😇 Great and insightful video, Alex! 💜✨💜

[@carerecords]

Awesome 👏🏾

[@bynumoil9615]

This is great!!! Is here a way to save some these effects as a preset? Thanks very, very much.

[@mostlymotiongraphics2134]

I use the solid generator A LOT and I've used the Fusion Textured Background once. It was perfect for what I needed. I've tried text-based editing, but what I've found more useful for someone talking is to generate subtitles and scan them instead of scrubbing the video. Does anyone else do this?

[@rowbyrowby]

Really nice new features. Thanks, Alex! …Rowby.
