I already know a lot about Davinci Resolve, but my wife doesn't...and I don't have time to teach her so this video is gold for her....we run our channel together and if she learns how to edit on Resolve we will be more fast and efficient. Thank you so much!

[@LifeisMedievil]

@@TheFrullanis just getting started with DR, it would be good to know what setting DR should be set to for editing in for a KZbin clip. not renter setting but editing settings. this is where a lot of first-time users just give up.

[@chefmolson7950]

Thanks very much for a really good lesson and you are a wonderful educator. I took time away from my college teaching job for PD and want to do a video report instead of traditional written one - I have struggled with how best to approach and this has given me the inspiration and headstart to get my project rolling. I have a ton of .mov and .jpeg files and kept second-guessing my approach but now I will shoot A-cam on BMPCC then fill in with B-roll and effects, many thanks to you!

[@GaiaTutankhamon]

35.11 min of excellent teaching! Thanks, great content.

[@chevdor]

Nice one with lots of small but useful tips. The pace is nice. You earned a sub ;)

[@cydzerlight1383]

i always respect ppl who do editing guides video. imagine editing a video that edits a video that ur editing for youtube in youtube

[@Jimmysombrero]

Woah, that's like Inception!

[@jordychinchin]

After spending nearly 6-7 hours over the course of multiple days constantly backtracking through this 35 minute KZbin video so I could follow along with each step as closely as possible I am finally complete. This has been the best resource on KZbin for taking that first step into DaVinci Resolve and I will be referring back to this video as I begin my journey into this editing software

[@ThinkMediaTV]

What a trooper! Appreciate the kind words Jordy!

[@rap.abitan]

I just found out this was 35mins

[@GRVYRDHRS]

You're right! It took me around that duration too, although I did finish it within the same day with little breaks inbetween

[@jordychinchin]

@ This video is a very valuable resource for DaVinci Resolve. Most of these tutorial on KZbin end up being too complicated. This simplifies it and providing practice project files to work along with helped tremendously

[@smbutte]

Seriously bloke, that was awesome. I’ve had the scary Resolve sitting on my desktop for months now, bamboozled by how complicated I thought it was. Your video is a god send, well instructed, not at all technical and complete with the film to replicate your work. What a ripper. Cheers fella. 😊

[@jillandcody]

This video saved me likely HOURS of watching other videos to learn. Thanks!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thank you for the super chat! What editing videos would you like to see more of?

[@Rinoto]

Putting the Jelly directly on top of the Peanut Butter slice and not on the opposite one is criminal. I have experience with DaVinci but the color correction and audio parts were still helpful tips for me so thank you!

[@WindwalkerHomestead]

I've watched several tutorials on Davinci Resolve and, somehow they all missed the mark and I've been teaching myself. This one helps me to understand the processes much easier. Thank you

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Appreciate it!

[@yunk9]

The best DaVinci Resolve tutorial I have ever seen. I think now is the time to give it an update and get this PB&J video done. Thankyou.

[@JamezAdam]

Excellent tutorial! Absolute Legend making the A Roll and B Roll footage available for us to use and get some hands on experience!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

🙌

[@olkus]

My first chat donation yet well deserved this video helped loads!!

[@RosieQCosplay]

This is the video you want to watch first! I've been dreading going over my audio because I have so many tutorial vids queued up, and both of the main things that I was worried about get covered at the end of this video (EQ and S sound reduction). Audio already sounds way better just following the two steps in this video! I feel better about going over my audio now! Also, I saw some of the video editing stuff he mentions across other tutorials as well. Save time, watch this first, and then go from there.

[@chrismalone617]

Incredibly helpful! Biggest takeaway: organization, order of edits, simple spice to add that makes a huge difference. Thanks!

[@freemansgarageextra]

FOR SLOW COMPUTERS using Davinci...disabling playback while rendering will usually solve crashing while rendering issues. Right clicking on timeline then clicking ripple delete will snap all files on the timeline back together for you. It will snap from right to left. While editing I use spacebar to play & pause while using L key to bump up playback speed to 2x, 4x, 8x etc. Keys J, K & L are playback speed keys. Once I figured all out my computer quit crashing & my editing speed increased dramatically. One more thing for slow computers... if Davinci starts to get laggy, the solution for me is saving the project, closing & reopening Davinci. I hope this comment saves someone from misery.

[@Realityversum]

Have to use Capcut because of this instead of DaVinci. And my pc is not even that slow.

[@rano12321]

@@Realityversum Resolve requires a good GPU, which is a blessing and a curse.

[@thepatzer]

Would generating proxies and displaying at half resolution also help?

[@SirGregoryPageTurner]

FOR SLOW COMPUTERS... I've tried, but now I know I must get a more capable computer if I'm going to make DaVinci Resolve my primary video editing tool. And, I'm going to build it myself for some extra fun. (Actually, it's not for the fun, it's to save money!)

[@SirGregoryPageTurner]

@@bhushan9066 Sorry, don't know the answer to your question.

[@rosecoloredglasses-logan]

😇Hi Nate! I've been using DaVinci Resolve for 3 years now and I love it. I happened to notice a link to your video and decided to check it out in case there was a tip or trick that I didn't know, because every user has a different style. I did catch a couple of of cool tricks, but what impressed me the most was your delivery. You have a warm way of speaking to your viewers that is calming and informative. You're not speaking above or below anyone's intellect, but instead, explaining in a user-friendly manner that most will appreciate. I enjoyed watching your content. Best to you!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Will keep this in mind for future videos!

[@VollstandigErleuchtung]

Video editing is the most beginner friendly skill ever, getting good at will obviously not be overnight, but at start you're getting something decent out of it, unlike some other software's where it takes several months before you get anything that's alright. Great tutorial 🍀

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Truth, appreciate the kind words!

[@Southern_Hogz]

This is one of the best instructional videos that I've ever seen. Thank you for covering these "basics" so thoroughly from start to finish. 💯

[@mxjaimy]

This really got me over the line to get me out of my comfort zone and try this new software. Thank YOUS!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

You got this!

[@ricardodurand422]

I’ve never edited a video before, and this helped me sooo much. I loved the footage that you provided so i could follow along but also try and fail and try again. Thank you so much for making this video to help people like me.

[@davidbacon4963]

Thanks! Very helpful. Nice pace. Sooooo many quality pointers that will accelerate my Resolve learning. Well done!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Appreciate the kind words! Glad it was helpful!

[@MikeCorrigan1520]

Man… That was awesome!!! I’m new at editing and been intimidated to use DR, so my default was always I-movie… you just opened up a whole new world to me for my channels! THANK YOU!

[@goeyang]

Just starting to use divinci and this was soo helpful! All other videos I have watched went way too fast and didn’t explain in depth. Thank you

[@maryrose001]

This Tutorial is pretty amazing 😊❤

[@carterphotography7170]

Nate you are a phenomenal teacher! One of the best short tutorials I've seen! Thank you

[@ModePhaser]

Thank you so much for making this. Moving on from Vegas Pro and Davinci seems like a great place to move over to. Cheers!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Perfect place to grow your editing skills!

[@Ot12_L]

This video is what I'm looking for especially for a beginner that literally doesn't have an idea how to use DaVinci. I don't want to watch complicated ones since I'll be editing a vlog only. Plus he also gave some idea or tips for making a video more appealing! 💖 Thank you so much!

[@Fresh_N_Salt_Fishing]

Great video, saved it to refresh in a week or so, just getting started. Thank you 🤙

[@clayformations1638]

I downloaded DaVinci Resolve about 6 months ago. Watched a few tutorials, tried working with it.... aaaand gave up. I watched this and FINALLY it makes sense! I'm going to give it another try! Thank you!!!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Stoked! Thanks for sharing!

[@Ritwik_edits]

Thank you for such good demonstration also very digestive for beginners.

[@Beyondthoughts01]

Wow.! This is the best video about editing Davinci I have seen so far on the internet. I got a lot of confidence to start editing video. Thanks brother 🙏🏻

[@legygax]

Best tutorial ever! I still have no idea what this Davinci thing is supposed to be but the PB&J sandwich was delicious.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

A true compliment! :)

[@ilovedbroccolionce]

This was very helpful video, maybe the most concise video on editing anything, that I've seen in a long while... Thank You!!

[@moasresor]

The best so far for me I am so new to this with editing. Thank you for not rushing it. 🙏🤗

[@edmi8832]

Thank you for being so thorough and not rushing it!

[@glenforbes915]

Excellent tutorial, you are an awesome teacher. I'm new to DaVinci and was just about to quit for another program but thank God I came across your tutorial. After watching this, I imported all my finished projects to timeliness with intentions of applying the techniques you taught. Thank you Sir.

[@SirGregoryPageTurner]

There's some fancy stuff in there, but seeing you doing it, and describing it with your calm voice, makes it the best intro to DR I've seen.

[@helmanfrow]

As an audio pro for nearly 30 years I can say with some authority that Curtis Judd's channel is an excellent place to learn about audio for video. ;)

[@helmanfrow]

If I can offer one piece of advice it's that EVERY frequency sounds bad when you crank the gain on a high-Q filter and sweep it across the spectrum. It's really easy to butcher your audio this way, so unless you hear a problem while the EQ is flat, don't EQ! A bit low-cut is usually fine but don't slap a 10dB shelf on your track at 10KHz just because someone in a video it. Find Julan Krause's video on EQ-ing for voice.

[@Jimmysombrero]

Great Tutorial. I usually use Premiere Pro, but I wanted to try out DaVinci Resolve to see the difference. I learned a little about Davinci and techniques I did not know about editing in general. Great video.

[@georgeanthny]

This is so so helpful and re-motivated me to learn video editing again, after being discouraged by the complicative nature of learning a new software. Subscribed, liked, saved, favorited, shared, etc.

[@CharakterKlick]

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! 🙏 Your explanations are so clear and easy to understand, and I really learned a lot. The tips you shared will be incredibly helpful in improving my skills. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Keep up the great work! I’m looking forward to your next content! 🎥✨

This is one of the absolute best tutorials out there, thank you! Do you have any tips for creating the B-roll footage? For instance, when you transitioned from scooping the jelly to spreading it, how did you make it to where the knife was in the same position in both clips?

The first tip alone saves me soooo much time. TY. I'm new to YT and devinci and have only edited videos a bit so this video is priceless. 💰

That was actually a good video! Well done. Good tone of voice; well spoken and clear; good all around color and audio FX and volume; all the B roll, text, BG music. That was solid. I even noticed the soft hands at the end while eating the PB&J. I can tell you’ve never done hard labor for a long time; nothing wrong with that. 👍

[@CiroPerez]

@@ThinkMediaTV Through the years I’ve went with Movie Maker, Sony Vegas, now Filmora and thinking about moving to Davinci, so anything that helps someone who already edit with other software, to move to Davinci. I’m thinking: How to organize your footage in big projects (you showed a glimpse), how to re-use video projects (e.g. templates? Same intros and outros for several videos….), how to color grade (in depth), how to chroma key…. And that just on Davinci. I still remember TM tutorials on how to record with a M50 or how to light an interview…. Those were so interesting! Would love also a “how to record yourself in public” or “how to do a talking head without a prompter”… those are just a few :”D Thanks Nate! Loved the way you did this tuto. Cheers from Spain!

well done explain the video I searching for long time. My question is I use FC pro and I edited direct from SSD/External Drive that doesn't fill out my computer space/storage while rendering before exporting my video to the drive. Do you know is the Resolve can do that directly editing from external drive so that doesn't fill out my computer.
