Premiere Pro vs. Davinci Resolve - Making the switch

[@kevinkenell]

My first video of 2023 is here and it's one of my best color grades so far, done in DaVinci Resolve of course: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXvEfnWoZayaqZY

[@kevinkenell]

Thank you all for watching! I'm thinking about creating a series where I try to master color grading in Davinci Resolve, is there something specific you would like to see?😍

[@salemadebanjo]

I've been thinking about this switch for a long time and after watching your video I think I'm going to switch. Really love your video. Nice work

[@kevinkenell]

That's so fun, good luck! Thank you so much. Let me know how it goes. 🥰

I'm glad, thank you!❤️

It's truly astounding how easy the internet makes learning these days. Thanks for the tutorial, my guy.

[@kevinkenell]

Amazing! Happy to help. Thanks for watching!

[@MoRasheed_01]

Just discovered your channel. I must say it's amazing. Kindly make a video on how you make your videos look this crispy. 👍

[@kevinkenell]

Thank you so much, Mo! I'd firstly recommend watching my studio setup video, if you haven't already. I'd say the trick is a mix of good lighting, 4K video + sharp lens, color grade and sharpening. And then of course my scandinavian beard, hahaha!😅

[@MoRasheed_01]

@@kevinkenell drop more filmmaking vids. Subbed already.

[@kcoppa]

Yes

[@technomikelyons]

There's already a keyboard shortcut for the blade. Ctrl+B (Win), Command+B (Mac). It splits on the played position. Razor is similar but cuts at the mouse pointer. Replace "B" with "\" in the shortcut.

[@kevinkenell]

Would you look at that, thanks for sharing! Regardless, I'm happy having it close at hand on "C".😍

[@sagarmoychanda007]

Love your content ❤️

[@kevinkenell]

Thanks man, means a lot!❤️

[@CabralCreates]

Welcome to Resolve!!!! I started with premiere pro and it took me a month to decide it wasn’t for me 😂 I’m never going back, I really enjoy editing now.

[@kevinkenell]

Thanks a lot! Oh wow, you're lucky to have gotten off quickly. I feel the same though. 😂

[@JasonGlynn]

The davinci course link in the description is broken

[@kevinkenell]

Thank you! It's now been fixed.

[@atharvkulkarni.]

How did you make that intro animation??? Can you make a dedicated video on that or suggest any similar video that is available on KZbin? That looks sick!!!!!

[@kevinkenell]

Thank you Atharv! I was originally gonna make a video showing that, but it ended up feeling a bit underwhelming. Glad you liked it though! @Polyfjord has a great tutorial about cell fracture simulations! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH_Nm36jrNyli7c

[@atharvkulkarni.]

@@kevinkenell thank you so much!!! Really appreciate it Keep making videos

[@erikdavis9064]

Agreed!! Show us the underwhelming video please.

[@kevinkenell]

@@erikdavis9064 I'll see what I can do 😎

[@Nissemaskin]

Förstår ingenting men kul å se dig !

[@kevinkenell]

Haha I'll take it!

[@asphaltandtacos]

The biggest challenge for me is the Color page. After watching a few videos the color tools are not as intimidating as they appear to be. Fusion, on the other hand, can get complicated doing on what you are doing in that page.

[@kevinkenell]

Yeah I don't know how I feel about Fusion yet. Simple things are made complicated. Think I'll stick with After Effects for now.👀

[@vfx-artist]

That's all well and good but on the first day with resolve I tried to rearrange the Workspace across three screens and I hit a brick wall. Resolve may or may not be better than Premiere but it's badly architected and has shaky foundations.

[@kevinkenell]

Ahh, that's a bummer! Sounds a bit off though, are you sure there's no solution?

[@TRIOStories]

Great video! Loved watching this. We are currently longterm FCPX users but have definitely been toying with a possible switch to Davinci... Tempting indeed... 😅

[@kevinkenell]

Thank you!! Uuh interesting, well I can't speak on that but from what I've heard the preview performance seem to be similar there. But, if you're thinking about it, just do it! 😉

[@TRIOStories]

@@kevinkenell I think we will definitely dabble in a month or two (just once our busiest work period is over). We can't switch when in the middle of a number of big projects but we definitely will try it, even if it's just to evoke some creativity!

[@melvindwayne]

Nice video, thanks

[@kevinkenell]

Glad you liked it!

[@ludvighelin8768]

Time for change👏🏻🔥

[@kevinkenell]

Excited!!

[@lovelines11]

Thank yooooou

[@kevinkenell]

No thank YOU!

[@christianisaacjones]

Love it Kevin! Your super fluent on camera, I think imma switch 👌

[@kevinkenell]

Thank you so much Christian! Exciting, make sure to let me know how it goes! :)

[@JaredHoyman]

I have decided I am going to learn Davinci Resolve and move over to it after 17yrys of using premiere. Keep up the good work and your channel will grow faster and bigger than mine. I just sub'd!

[@kevinkenell]

Oh wow, that's a lot of years. I hope you can translate all that experience into Davinci Resolve and that you have a smooth transition. Thank you, appreciate that!

[@JaredHoyman]

@@kevinkenell I just edited out a small 30sec project after I updated all the macro features on my Logitech mx master 2s and I found the gui better in Resolve. I'm going to bow buy it but do you recommend Dongle or the license key. I'll probably pick up the speed editor with it when they bundle them together. I can't seem to find a kicense key bundle. They all appear to come with the dongle which makes me nervous if I lose the dongle. Thoughts?

[@benchy5769]

I switched to resolve to mainly make AMVs and I love it, I like the separate cut section, the program only crashed on me once and that is because me doing stupid stuff and I didn’t even lost changes I made before it crashes if that happens with Premiere/Ae that hour I spent will be lost forever, and playback on my M1 Pro MacBook is super smooth even with a lot of fusion effect and CPU rendering not sure who to praise Blackmagic or Apple, they both did a great job bringing great quality hardware/software to the market

[@kevinkenell]

That's awesome. I'm guessing you're running the Studio version then? I have a M1 Pro too but haven't had the chance to edit anything major on it yet. Nice to hear it's working out for you. Thanks for watching, mate!

[@Shadow_Li]

nice

[@kevinkenell]

Thanks!🥰

[@moonlambo5229]

Cool video man! Getting sick of blowing so much money on ADOBE CC every year. Gonna try out Davinci.

[@kevinkenell]

Good choice! Hope you like it as much as I have so far.

[@Exynos_850]

I have : i5 6th gen 8gb ram 256ssd with "intel hd graphics 520" and now i use premiere pro 2021 with almost no problem but i want to move to davinci but i am not sure if the software will work well because i heard that he used GPU more than CPU , can my laptop configuration support davinci resolve even an older version ? Hope u answer me ❤

[@kevinkenell]

Hard to say exactly! The free version is CPU only, so I'd recommend just trying that out first and see where that takes you! Sorry if I couldn't be more help, good luck!❤️

[@Chrispyy__]

I got this Resolve Studio a little over a month ago and ive been using Premiere/AE for years. MAN....at first i hated Resolve cause it was annoying but after ive gotten the hang of it Im thinking about switching. I swore that resolve would be trash, but man was I wrong lol.

[@kevinkenell]

The initial transition can feel really uncomfortable. It does still happen that I miss some easy accessed function here and there but I'm really liking it in Davinci. Thanks for sharing!😍

[@2424rocket]

I like your enthusiasm… And just as a sidenote… It is not reVERB, it’s pronounced REverb.

[@kevinkenell]

Thank you Allen!

[@Aizen.F]

In Hollywood industry, Davinci is still unpopular or they use both?

[@kevinkenell]

I'm actually not sure, I think it's still very scattered but that Davinci is more the standard for color grading rather than cutting/editing.

[@hruettimann]

I would say Hollywood is still mostly Media Composer for video editing. But for color grading Resolve is the most common software choice, Baselight the second probably. Audio post (sound design, dialogue editing, mixing, mastering) is usually done on a Pro Tools system.

[@xanzuls]

@@hruettimann Absolutely and for VFX it's majority Nuke and Fusion and some still use Flame, no after effects.

[@demon-sg7xb]

Krazy , get out of here. That was funny, really funny

[@klark8klark895]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH the sa # save the turtels

[@kevinkenell]

I'm gonna say yes!

[@2424rocket]

I couldn’t watch your video sorry, the title was so ridiculous. What you basically asked is… Is a Tesla better than a Ford Focus? Resolve is better than premier pro in every single possible way. It’s not even close. Hope you came to that conclusion in your video.

[@kevinkenell]

There's no question too stupid to ask. Simply because you know the answer, doesn't mean others do. The quest for knowledge is a humble path.💡 Thank you for booming engagement, Allen!😃

[@afhdf9010]

You are insufferable Allen. It doesn't matter who hurt you, you have to break the cycle

[@2424rocket]

@@afhdf9010 really? I’m hurting people by telling them the truth. I think I’ll get a T-shirt with the word insufferable on it. A complement never made anybody better, but a criticism can. Although I really have no idea what you’re talking about.

[@afhdf9010]

@@2424rocket if you weren't so emotionally charged over my comment, you would have seen that I asked who hurt you, nothing about you hurting people. You said in your original comment that the title is bad and you don't like it, so you're not going to even start the video, you're only going leave a petty comment which provides value to no one, not even yourself. Did you genuinely think your condescending "critism" regarding the title to a video you didn't even watch was useful, interesting or warranted? And I told you to break the cycle and asked about who hurt you because only a hurt person with self destructive patterns and thoughts would take the time to write a comment like yours. I wish you the best brother, only you can be honest with yourself about what you need to change and let go of. Good luck on your journey, it appears you have a long way to go, but I believe you can find the strength within yourself to overcome your situation.

[@NemoX360]

Bro you literally have no posture. Editing can take a toll on your neck and back. Remember to raise you head high

[@kevinkenell]

Hahah, thanks. I will keep that in mind!
