You're the 1st reason I recently switched to Davinci Resolve and God it's so beautifully organized and well-structured.

[@iamjwang]

Thank you so much for this! Super approachable and reducing my sense of overwhelm 😅

[@kilogram8168]

quick and short to the point. all that i needed to use davinci--thanks!

[@qorbani-tech]

This is basiclly the most simplified and entertaining DaVinci tutorial I ever seen 👌 "Less is More" and you nailed it in building this tutorial 👏

[@JorisHermans]

Much appreciated, Reza 🙏🏻🔥

[@Thrinmeister]

Thank you so much! I'm up and running for DaVinci Resolve just from this video.

[@dynamlllilte4230]

Just found your channel. And wow your content is GOD TIER. Thanks so much for teaching a guy like me that has never edited and wants to learn to lose the fear and be more confident to tackle editing as its not so scary as it seems.

[@Lirree88]

Legend! A simple, to the point, introductory demo/tutorial.

[@alcidesoares]

This video just gave me the motivation to start on Davici. Thank you so much Joris

[@tonywatson1508]

Great video as always particularly like the mix of humour and information funny you mentioned beer I did like that segment in your previous "undeniable logic" vids I watched this while supping a Leffe Brune keep up the good work 👍

[@jer3006]

Joris, man this is excellent. I've seen many of these intros to DR for beginners and they are way overdone with a length anywhere from 50 min to 2 hrs. I start them and never finish them. Yours made me feel I could actually do a great video after 14 min of watching. Okay, make that 17 min because I jumped over to your 3 min Shortcut Keys video in the middle of this one, then returned to finish this workflow. You have given me a lot of confidence here to get a video done now. Specifically, this is a great length to actually help a beginner do a Resolve start-to-finish edit. The audio segment is tremendous including enough tips to cover a lot of music options AND by utilizing keyframes painlessly. The solid color effect clips as temporary place holders for B-Roll is brilliant. The opener tip about get your A-Roll inserted first and a rough cut done is a game-changer for me, and it makes so much sense for beginners to do it that way. There is way more, and all of it good! Thanks, this will be my official guideline for simplified editing in Resolve. ⭐x5

[@aarondavistx]

Man, so glad I found your channel. I've found so much value from it already. Thank you!

[@JorisHermans]

Glad to hear it!

[@JorisHermans]

Much appreciated! Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@GaryCunninghamyouareenough]

BEST.INTRO.EVER!! 🤣🤣 Great video as always 🤟 Cheers for sharing this workflow, Joris #superhelpful 🙏🏻 #ramonesrock 🤟

[@markinman3119]

Great video Joris. I love your content. As someone starting out as video editing, I be keen to hear your insight as why you would use certain technique over another. For example, why use a fade transition versus a straight cut.

[@ML-Mediaproduction]

Awesome Video, thank you for the impressions :) i cut sometimes the A-Roll in the CUT page specific but your workflow is pretty nice. i learned alot thanks

[@JorisHermans]

Cut page is great but imo not for a beginner's first time 😵‍💫😉

[@ML-Mediaproduction]

@@JorisHermans thats true, i avoid the first few times the cut page when i started davinci 😅

[@enxhibregu5348]

🙏 thank you 🫡

Sir 🙏 I love how you teach. 👍👌🙏

[@GamerKittyEuphoric]

lmaooo I clicked on you because you hit your elbow XD and I stayed because you're relatable

[@louiewgroenewald]

Hi! I really enjoyed your videos and the way you do and explain things. Can you possibly do a small beginner to intermediate DaVinci video series to learn DaVinci. I'm new to this and never used anything like this before.

[@bunkertons]

Ooooh, buddy! I felt that elbow smack!

[@AndreSjoberg]

Good stuff :) Wish I had it a couple of years ago, but now someone else can enjoy this quick guide to editing heaven :) Any plans of doing a follow up for Mediocre Editors? Maybe a Cut Page Extravaganza? Just started snowing again up here in Norway (so much for setting the clock to summer time), so got a couple of weeks of not doing anything but stare at the screen ;)

[@thelivingstonefilms]

I love your tutorial sir. Please, more on Davincy is needed, like color grading of braw

[@danimac2028]

Hey Joris thanks for the video!! Really clear to understand!! Is there any function where the clips can be automatically matched with the bits of the music? Thanks

[@asimhafiz7637]

Your videos are always so helpful Man 🙏 please make a video s-log 3 proxy workflow in davinci

[@abdallahtanveer6532]

this was very helpful can you also make a da vinci tutorial for making instagram reels

[@munishkumar82]

I’ve just got the mac and really need a simple tutorial for a windows person

[@Static889]

What color space should u use for smartphone footage?

[@BobMcGowan-NotTheChairCircle]

Hello. Thank you for your very useful video. I would just like to make one request/comment. This is for all people providing such tutorials. Could you please increase the size of your pointer/cursir and perhaps put it in a different colour? Sometimes when you are moving around the screen quickly, pointing out various functions, it is very easy for we, the viewers, to lose track of where you are and what you are painting at. Thank you again. Regards, Bob McGowan.

[@someonexdxd]

6:23 but what does trimming do?

[@DavidMorehead]

I wanted to try DaVinci Resolve. I downloaded it this morning. Unfortunately, it will not run on my 6 year old Dell laptop. Looks like I will have to keep searching for a video program to use on my laptop. I use Kinemaster on my phone and tablet, and it does a pretty good job.

[@paramotorportal]

😂😂 nice intro😁

[@JorisHermans]

😭😭😵😅

[@mescudic]

My titles are not displaying when I drop them in my timeline, could this be because I’m using a 15in laptop?

[@ONEJOURNEYONESTORY]

Hey Joris. I've the free version and loving it. Enjoying the free program much more with your help. I like your presentation much better than others because you are talking to me like you would in the real world. Now, I'm planning to upgrade to Studio anytime soon. Just want to make sure that you get your commission from DaVinci for your handwork. How do I do this? Thank you. :)

[@JorisHermans]

I don't get commission from DR 🫡

[@ONEJOURNEYONESTORY]

@@JorisHermans Sorry to hear about that. Anyway, you're still the best and the best can only get better. :)

[@luoyunqiao111]

Do We have to transfer from Pr to Davinci? is there huge different? You know, sometimes people are lazy to change🤣

[@JorisHermans]

Yes 🫡

[@finalstartfitness4473]

Joris, this is off topic but can you tell me why when I add a motion array lower third preset that my timeline screen goes black. It's been so frustrating, and there isn't any videos out explaining it very well😂

[@JorisHermans]

Do you see the title on black?

[@finalstartfitness4473]

@Joris Hermans thanks so much for your response man!! 😀no it makes the footage go away and there is no title. I wasn't sure if I need to do something with a node or something 🤣

[@finalstartfitness4473]

Also dude.. just curious but I started a channel with a guy from Alaska. We are almost at 20k subs. Do you ever do any collaboration stuff with anyone. If so I would love to connect bro👊

[@wporchard]

Hello, you can try changing the font and see if that helps!

[@sandysandeep6411]

i recently shot a video on my iphone & it looks great without any edit. But as i load the video in davinci it automatically changes the brightness and everything and it looks bad. I am not able to edit on the default raw video which was directly shot on my iphone. Can someone help me with this?

[@wporchard]

Hello, can I check if you shot your video with the HDR setting turned on? If so, you can try going to the Color tab, then apply the effect called "Color Space Transform". Change your Input Color Space to "Rec.2020" and your Input Gamma to "Rec.2100 HLG".

[@sandysandeep6411]

@@wporchard let me try this once.

[@sethfromcommunityservice8909]

instaled the free version and no matter which tutorial I try yand follow I cant use the software as intended, Back to kdenlive for me.

[@AdmiralGordon]

first tutorial ive seen which isn't 30-60+ minutes

[@GaetanoCrisci]

man man man .... the Cut page! is where all should start... (better with the speed editor...) ok you are justified that this is a video for total beginners.... (oh noooo not the blade!... joking)

[@JorisHermans]

Yeah I wouldn't recommend beginners to start in the Cut page 😵‍💫😅

Where's my inspector

This elbow strike is called an "electric shock." Be careful and thank you
