I'm GIVING UP... Premiere Pro for DaVinci Resolve

this was hilarious. it was like a parody Pete video in the best way possible. sense of humor is on point and you can tell the pacing of switching between delivering information and funny jokes/moments is the same. loved this!

[@captkirklucas]

😅

[@pen1208]

some small but powerful advice. You can edit in a lower resolution and have zero delay/freezes and then just export at full resolution. That or you can just use proxies. Both are good options. Reducing resolution while editing is the most common way I see people do it. Including myself. Reduce to 1080p then I just export at full resolution. Boom done no issues EVER.

[@DiegoNorena_]

How do you do that

[@OganArt]

Pete, give this guy a HUGE raise!!! This was so good Kirk... Yes, you must have more uploads like this, no way we can wait 5 more years for another one. Bravo!!!

[@PhotiniByDesign]

I've always used DaVinci Resolve, and for one reason. The way it handles colour, not so much about about the user interface, but more about the colour science under the hood, the colour transformers are next to none and may I say the best in the industry.

[@movingtoNYCwithLauren]

I heard of Davinci and didn’t pay much attention to it for awhile… But you know the hype is real when this channel covers it! Also the vibe of this video was spot on 👌🏻

[@Tensor_7]

I’m really excited you’re switching to resolve. For me, resolve is a rabbit hole, a whole new different world of creation and getting work done. Every panel in resolve alone is a fully functional software. The fusion page is a beast for animation and compositing. The color page, needless to say, is THE standard with powerful color management tools and grading features, enabling HDR 10 and Dolby Vision capabilities. The fairlight page is a complete DAW, built right in the very software, which makes audio mixing experience way satisfying. For the last 4 years using resolve I have learned a wide variety of knowledge from color science all the way to node based animation and audio mixing. Resolve is an exciting software that gives everyone the opportunity to learn a bunch of new things.

[@bozuku]

This is a great comment ^^^

[@walwhite7399]

We need more of The Captain in our lives. You’re making a great choice on Resolve, it’s been a great program for me. Good luck in the new learning challenge dudes. We’re excited to see what new things you guys can come up with

[@nadiacheema]

Left Premiere behind more than 1.5 years ago and never looked back. Took a bit of a learning curve, but my editing is much more efficient and very intuitive. The color grading capability has taken our videos to the next level and our clients love what we produce for them. I actually really enjoy color grading now lol. Didn't enjoy it in Premiere.... more like hated it. Just starting to tip my toe into Fusion. I find that more intimidating, but will slowly ease into it. Way to go to Peter and Kirk in going over to Davinci!

[@leseuloiseau]

Hi :) I use da vinci to color grade, but for editing what do you do with the speed? :( Because in premiere you can work at the same time in the after effects. Do you know if there is a similar option in the da vinci?? That'd be a great discover :D thank you so much!! 🌈😊

[@nadiacheema]

@@leseuloiseau Hi :) just to clarify....are you referring to Dynamic Link between Premiere and AE? It never worked for me. Always caused my computer to freeze and crash so can't say to what the speed of comm is like between the two. In Davinci... Fusion is within the same app, but as another Tab. It's easy to jump between Edit and Fusion without difficulties. At least on my computer. Depends on how large the project is and specs of your computer. If you want to work in AE from Davinci... the best practice I've read online is to export the video in Davinci as a lossless, highres file (ProRes for example if working on a Mac) then import into AE.

[@pixel-ink]

I made the switch several years back. Don't miss Adobe subscription at all!!

Freaking awesome job, Kirk! +1 vote for more Davinci content with the Captain! I made premiere walk the plank in 2018 and haven't looked back. Black Magic is bringing the voodoo mama juju with Davinci Resolve. 🙌

[@osi666]

This is a total improvement to the original Peter! We do WANNA have more videos like this please!

[@toe-may-to]

The first thing I noticed when using Davinci was that crashing was almost never a problem unless I did something far too intensive for my computer to handle. (Premier would crash randomly no matter what I was doing). It's such a great feeling knowing that I don't have to press Ctrl S every 2 minutes due to the live saves feature and significantly lower crash rate

[@pupstermobster8567]

Just started doing some simple tutorial video work for my company. I mean, you can say there's a high learning curve but with the plethora of concise instructional websites and videos online, I was able to quickly understand how to use Davinci and was able to complete my first tutorial (4-min long) within a day as a side project (on/off usage). I use basic fade in/out and highlighting, cutting. I'm just happy it was able to do what I asked of it. Completed rendering in 8 minutes. Love it!

Keep doing videos, Captain! I loved it! The Peter parodies were fantastic. I'm very new to video editing and dove in with DaVinci so I'd LOVE to see more content, tutorials, etc. about how you use the software. Keep up the great work.

[@OriginalTrevor]

This was a fantastic video! The Captain did such a fantastic job, I literally laughed out loud several times watching this 😂 I would LOVE to have a Captain Kirk video series where he teaches us how to use davinci resolve.

[@BushidoDevilDog]

Speaking of Bangers...this video was one of the best I've seen here...which is a high mark to achieve given the 'competition' of Pete's always-outstanding vids. No idea how I missed this, but glad I found it, because the info provided concerning DaVinci Resolve was the last nail in Adobe's coffin. I will be switching after I finish two videos that I have already started editing in CS6 Premiere.

I used to use Premiere myself. DaVinci Resolve is the superior software, especially for color. Plus, having fusion built in is awesome.

[@michaelbalbierer2656]

OMFG, this made my day! Love it when the "behind the scenes" type people get their day in the sun! Love this vid and hope you make regular appearances. That being said, I still miss the Peter videos.

[@KJMGarage]

One the biggest things I feel like nobody talks about...In Premiere if you want to stabilize a clip, but say you slowed it down. You can’t put warp stabilize on that clip without nesting it, or you have to interpret the footage which sometimes I don't want to do. Also adds a whole extra step to the workflow. In DaVinci no matter what you do to the clip you can still drop a warp stabilize on the clip. No extra hoops to jump through and their stabilize plug in is miles ahead of premiere. That alone made me start slowly switching.

[@captkirklucas]

Good point!! I tried it and was baffled that it just worked without having to do any tricks.

[@thehumblewolf]

I hope to one day be good enough at editing to understand what you just said

[@JoJoOnTheMove]

Congratulations, you have passed level 1. Go to the stabilizer on the colorpage (almost nobody knows its also there) to pass level 2. If you really want to impress, find the stabilizer options in the fusion page and you past level 3 😜

And overall I have this feeling that DVR is there to help me as opposed to PP which I always felt unfriendly with me.

[@anthonyburnett9070]

Good job Kirk definitely got Pete’s mannerisms down. I guess from editing all of his videos.

[@inquisitivevisual]

For those new to Davinci feeling overwhelmed by the UI, get dual monitors! I promise this is like the final piece to the puzzle. It feels kinda cramped and busy on a laptop screen but the second monitor just opens it up and it really feels like thats how it was intended to be used.

[@caravanlifenz]

A single monitor makes it feel like claustrophobic like a small elevator.

[@axidrain]

yep it does wonders to your workflow.

[@thehumblewolf]

What goes on the second screen? Also what about ultra wide?

[@AdeebFarooqi]

@@thehumblewolf There is a Dual Screen feature that moves a lot of the clutter to the other screen. It makes the primary display feel more minimal

[@inquisitivevisual]

@@thehumblewolf On the primary is the viewer and timeline and on the secondary is everything else, media pool, effects, mixers etc. Ultra wide will be ok but i think dual is better because you dont need to open and close things like the media pool in order to have your timeline full screen, u can just drag things over from the second screen.

So great to have you guys on Resolve! I left Premiere after years of using it back in summer of 2021. It's made editing so much more fun, as it works so much better for my workflow. The only things where Resolve falls short are 1) lack of AI subtitles 2) ease of effect templates 3) a little complicated with keyframes at times. Aside from that, Resolve crushes Premiere

Took me a bit (because I did not import any shortcuts, I wanted to fully commit) to get used to everything, but I can't see myself ever going back. And the color correction is second to none, it's on another level. Made me stop using LUTs and get into grading myself.
