Start Editing YouTube Videos for FREE with ZERO Knowledge - Video Editing for TOTAL BEGINNERS

[@adammutolo5800]

Old video but man, the only one I could find that totally explains editing from ground zero. Everything else says it’s for beginners, but then they just start talking about cutting clips out and how to do it… never explaining what a timeline actually is, for example. This is great, thank you!

[@CaseyFaris]

👍

[@MajstorijeM]

So true, others are just making videos about editing showing nothing to you!

[@MoeNormanJr]

Kevin Stratvert’s tutorial is also very helpful for legit beginners.

[@PULAG]

Just wanted to say thanks for actually sharing information without asking for anything in return. No one wants to help people learn stuff anymore because they want crazy amounts of money for it which is ridiculous. Thanks, man. You're a good dude.

[@jaytrotter5272]

Wow, someone that is willing to speak the language of the newbie. I understood 100% everything you said because of how YOU said it. I will move onto your other videos. Thank you so much!

[@Xaphtr]

Hands down the best introduction to editing I have ever watched. This is what happens when experience match explanation. Thank you Casey for this wonderful video. I just subscribed and hopefully will pay your DaVinci training. Really great stuff.

[@ThomasE1952]

Casey, this is one of your best tutorials for those of us just starting out in video editing. Very straight forward and easy to follow. Love the cooking analogy. Thanks.

[@kinbailey310]

I know I'm a little late making comments on this video but I just found you and I'm a complete noobie to editing. I just wanted to say that you're a fantastic teacher!

[@MrBamshy]

Been scared and/or lazy learning video editing but this video made it look achievable! I know it's probably the beginning but my confidence has increased. Thanks and I will watch more videos on your channel to hone this new skill.

[@deanonfo6562]

[@John-pp1lk]

You for sure found your calling in this phase of your life. Your presentations are smooth, precise, and confident -- the hallmarks of a professional (professional presenter in this instance). You present in a way that encourages confidence in those learning this material, a skill more rare than most realize. Bottom-line, you are a true standout. I am a TRUE FAN!!!

[@YuichiSen520]

This is all i needed, as someone who doesn't even know anything bout editing, going straight to editing in pc was very overwhelming to think bout, everything looked so scary but thanks to u i feel like i can do it. Thank you ✨

[@redbirdacreswi]

This is perfect! I had found another tutorial and he went so fast and wasn't explaining what each item was and I tried so hard to follow but I was lost! With this, I just spent 1.5 hours following along and editing my very first video! While it's not professional, it looks a lot better than anything I would have uploaded by myself! And given that my videos will feature a lot of cooking, I loved the analogy! I'm now ready to upload my very first video on youtube tomorrow. THANK YOU!

[@TechInspected]

I've been using Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker, then Vegas, then PowerDirector. Now I'm transitioning to Resolve and this is really helpful. Thanks!

[@That__Guy]

This is the best beginner Tutorial I've seen yet. Great pacing. All the information you need to get going. Most others I've seen are either so slow, that you can't get yourself to watch through it or too short so you leave still not knowing anything.

[@Bob__Yosh]

I really love your analogy of cooking/storytelling. It made it really easy to understand.

[@DZalan-yn6zh]

This is literally the best video editing tutorial on KZbin! Understandable and easy to follow without any useless information. Thank you so much man!

[@fanniesmithapple6253]

Bless your soul! I had videos and wanted to cry because my old self just couldn't get it. I ruined two of them. I have hope. Thank you so much!

[@KayCee0216]

You are truly an amazing instructor. I know NOTHING of any of this, but when you broke out down to simple terms and showed where what and how you were doing, I felt like I not only unsaid but I can replay and follow along and get something done. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge in simpler terms for people like me. ❤

[@Etta319]

Wow! I have combed over so many, so called, “beginners videos,” and unable to find anything starting with the basics or easy to comprehend. Thank you so much. I write and now wanting to edit my own projects for more control and to avoid high cost. New follower here

i've had the hardest time trying to learn these video editing videos. this is by far the best one out there. i've watched a million!!! thankyou!

[@mckaymnm]

update. downloading Davinci and said my drivers aren't updated enough on 18.5 can i download an older version to work. seems like my only option was the newest version. tried downloading different drivers didn't seem to work

[@mckaymnm]

you need to put the updated driver link along with this. I finally found it but not without grief

[@tomcatucci]

I've only had time to view a little of your video, but I cannot wait to get back to it as you are great at explaining to a TOTAL NOVICE with tremendous clearity. Finaly, a teacher I an actual follow. Thank you 100%!

[@jiffijoff9780]

Excellent basic wrap of editing. Really good breakdown to the basic wording, concepts, organisation, even little storytelling, video/audio combination... its fast, people might have to replay a couple of times - but thats because its packed with information. Good one, compliments!😃

This is one of THE best intros to editing I’ve seen! Awesome job. I was recently asked about good beginner training videos for editing… so I started searching a bunch here on KZbin when I came across yours. Enthusiastically, I will be recommending this first! I’ve been following you for a little while and I’m so amazed at your generosity and ability to teach with clarity, comprehensibility and concisely. The marks of a great teacher. Thank you so much for all your work!

[@JupiterrSol]

Literarily zero experience with this software and your video couldn't have been more concise and helpful!! AWESOME content!!

Oh my goodness, i have been scratching my head for the longest time about how to even begin, where to even put the videos let alone how to edit them together. Thank you :)

Gotta say, I started the official Resolve training videos and was bored almost instantly - 20 minutes spent on meta tags! This is practical, useful, and focused on getting me editing fast :) Thank you.

[@trinleywangmo]

TODAY! I'm watching this video because I AM that person: "something something camera and it goes into a computer somehow" and, I _can_ talk in that voice! THANK YOU for this tutorial... I binged a bunch recently in preparation for this new adventure to rebuild my life. And today, you'll ferry me through this first run of a bunch of videos that I produced on my first travel vlog trip last week for my friends, who'll never visit me, because I'm "too far" away. Fingers crossed I have any talent at all...

[@microdroneflying2811]

Total beginner here......... Davinci free version has been a great tool for getting started sharing my drone videos. Lots of great tutorials and an ongoing learning experience.

[@TheHomeDate]

Thank you Casey. I've tried to use Resolve, Premier Pro, Vega and Lightworks in the past and I got things done but never thrilled with my results. Decided to use Resolve more and came across a number of your videos as I was looking for help editing. Huge difference between the first video I posted on this channel compared to the latest and a bunch of the editing improvements are thanks to you.

[@SusanGachuru]

Best video ever, I have searched for videos to teach me editing and this is amazing. so easy and detailed. thank you Casey, you are God sent

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

I have been editing video for several years using Adobe and Cyberlink. I have had Davinci Resolve on my computer for a couple of years but never took the time to learn it...until now. Thanks for these tutorials Casey.

[@jmg999]

I just came across your videos, and I'm a new fan and subscriber. Your tutorials are concise, easy to understand, and use multiple examples to the techniques you're describing. You also manage scope creep really well, by staying on point and not getting lost in the minutiae of a vast application such as DaVinci Resolve. This was really a great tutorial, and I very much look forward to watching more in-depth content from you. You're really providing an invaluable service. Thank you!

[@CaseyFaris]

Awesome, thank you!

[@CarlasCorner62]

I feel the exact same way!! This guy is the absolute best!

This is the absolute best instruction video I have seen.. I have watched a gazillion that say " editing for beginners from start to finish" and they ALL act and talk as tho a beginner knows most of the things they are not going over lol...so dang confusing.. so thank you for breaking it ALL down for some of us newbies... 👍ps. U now have 1 more subscriber 😊

[@MsCankersore]

Been looking for a couple weeks for something like this. All other vids pale in comparison, you're doing the lords work with this video. Can't believe it took so long to find something like this. I guess everyone just knows how to video edit these days

I have tried as kind of mission to make you tube videos from a smartphone. I have access to a great computer microphone etc. But I was fascinated by the simplicity of doing it on a phone...the software I used was pretty good, I used KineMaster. So after watching your tutorial I think I can begin to make much higher quality productions and the best part is the computer simply has more capacity to store the clips , finished product etc. Thanks

[@davidmadisontheguardian]

You taught me more in one 1/2 hour video than I've gotten in ten or so other videos the same length or even longer! 😎 How to use the I and the O; as a shortcut; so you don't have to drag the entire clip into the timeline is something that I was wondering about in Videopad. I don't have the video memory power on my present laptop; but you better believe once I get one with all the right specs... I'm switching over to this DaVinci Resolve! Thanks so much for making it so much easier to understand the entire process! Peace Love and Light Be well, ~ Dave M. ~

[@DroneTheDruid]

So I watched this video because I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. Im using filmora and am doing a lot of this self taught but you've actually given me a lot of reassurance that I'm moving in the right direction. My videos are not perfect by any means but I actually feel pretty confident I can refine what I've been doing and make my creations better. Great video homie.

[@LatinNerdChronicles]

[@davidmadisontheguardian]

One thing that has saved me A LOT of time making my own videos, is to do several takes of something in the SAME video. Now that I know a little more about how video editing works courtesy of your video, here, Casey, I can use this strategy to much more avail. I USED to take multiple videos because I would mess up, or couldn't think of what to say next. This allows me to use the Extravert's strategy of just adlibbing a bunch of things in a row until I hit upon what I want to say. This is what a lot of people do in normal conversation. And I can't see why it wouldn't work in the case of making KZbin videos, as well. Peace Love and Light, ~ Dave M. ~
