I think you just helped solve your first “Things I don’t like.” Thanks! Awesome review! BTW, you can expand and shrink Timeline clips to fill the screen with Slider in the middle towards the right. Some of my favorite features: Free LUTS to drag in easily onto the clip node, Scopes to watch your Color grade effects in real time, Effects Library on left side that lets you drag and drop almost any effect onto your clip, and Speed Editor that lets you cut your imported media super fast! What’s yours?

A note on not saving: I recently experienced a DaVinci Resolve crash and forgot to save, so I feared that I lost my 100-ish edits to the interview I was working on. Upon reopening Resolve, I found my project with zero lost edits.

[@ncc1701deee]

I am brand new to Davinci Resolve. Couple of days experience. I was practicing with different effects and moving videos in. I clicked on something that made my 2nd monitor open. (I was actually just trying to figure out how to have what's called the "source viewer", back, so i could have 2 windows, side by side in the editor, again. It crashed shortly after. I was horrified. I didn't remember saving anything. But. It was all auto-saved! I was able to re-open the project, and I was back up to where I last left the project. Super nice! I've been so happy I made the decision to try to learn Davinci Resolve. I'm still struggling with the node stuff, though.

This same feature has existed in FCPX for over a decade. 🤷‍♂️

[@BKLYN48]

Auto save exists on every app

[@robwhitmore3040]

@@BKLYN48 I haven't used FCPX but in Premiere, autosave is set to save at set intervals. So you can set it to save evry minute if you want (I had it at 10 mins) but every time it saves, the software pauses. Maybe 1/4 a second, maybe 5 seconds on a huge project (and I'm on a 7950x with a 4090 and 128gb DDR5. So its not a slow hardware issue. But you still risk losing time, even when it saves every 10 mins. You re-open (praying the autosave file isn't corrupt) and then have to figure out how far back it's put you, then re-do your edits. DR saves after very action and it's imperceptible. No spinning wheels, now greyed out windows, nothing. Just a costant, live backup.

[@pathosmovies]

@@koldstudios they want you to buy one of their panels to get better accuracy for making changes 🙂 it seems kinda fair given the price if resolve itself.

[@jmalmsten]

@@koldstudios The UI in Resolve is pretty rigidly set up in general. There are tabs that can be opened and closed, and you can hide some buttons and there are layouts for dual screen. Even Triple screen if you have Studio so you can put the Clean feed on a separate monitor. And some panels can be made floating so they can be moved to a fourth screen. (you can never have too many screens). It took a while to get used to that rigidity... but the upshot is that no matter which computer you use, no matter where you are... and no matter what tutorial you watch or read... if it's updated... the UI should be the same. So standardisation has its pros as well as the cons. And yes. They do encourage users to get their hardware for full hands on workflows. I guess it's part of the reason it's free and even the payed version is just $300 and they have never charge for an update and they stay away from subscription fees. Their main income is from their hardware.

Contrary to what Sam says in this video, there are a ton of places where you can learn Resolve completely free.

There are also a lot of people who have been using Resolve for YEARS that have great channels that you can learn from.

Absolutely.

[@youtubetrailerpark]

$800 is a bit steep mate. And looking at the breakdown of videos, they average about 10 minutes each. At least 5 "Watch me" videos, likely with no commentary. No mate, I don't want to have to reverse engineer 'no commentary' videos to figure out what's going on, not for 800 quid. I'm downloading the official training from Blackmagic + project files for free as I'm writing this. Basically what this guy did was take the free training from the Blackmagic site and then put together a massively shortened course for $800, lol.

[@KobusGevelspar]

Well, this whole video is an ad to buy his course, just like many youtubers do for their product. Probably sponsored by BM. Doesn’t mean the course is bad, it might be good, even after 6 months of usage. It’s about the time and energy that is put in and by how many people. But I’d always think for myself before believing everything online. For example: Software (like premiere) cannot be the sole reason why video editors loose focus or motivation.

You can render multiple projects back to back in final cut. Just highlight all the projects and clips you want to export, then press share and export normally but they will all export together back to back.

[@ISMAILOMAR_ISH3000]

You cannot imagine my delight at using RESOLVE Will definitely visit your courses.

[@YaelEliza]

You took the words right out of my brain, i began resenting editing so much because of the constant premiere hiccups. I even stopped shooting just thinking of the editing process. Thank you for this well put video! I am sparked :)

[@autobiographywritingsecrets]

The editing on this video is outstanding! Well done and I agree that getting the software free with the BM camera was a great move by the company. I have it but as you say, it does have a steeper learning curve.

[@likebliss]

The two things I miss about Premiere Pro were: 1. Being able to arrange/resize ANY window in ANY way you want. 2. Though it was pretty clunky, creating smooth speed-ramps was much faster for me in Premiere. In Resolve, you can only click one time-warped keyframe at a time to switch it to a curved keyframe, which is pretty annoying. BUT Resolve does have more control over the easing in and out of each keyframe, and that's super nice.

[@MichaelVash7886]

Davinci Resolve cut page + speed editor is awesome for getting through my A fairly quickly. My edits are relatively simple but it ends up saving me a decent bit of time.

[@LFPAnimations]

One big thing to note for Fusion. Fusion is used as a compositing software in feature film VFX houses and AE is rarely used in the VFX industry (mostly motion graphics). Fusion is a far more capable software without the training wheels on like AE. It is more comparable to Nuke from The Foundry than AE. The most insane thing about Resolve is it has both a industry standard color suite and professional VFX toolset all bundled into one software. Resolve is also a super popular choice in editorial for transcoding footage since it's export system is so robust and fast.

[@southernaccentfoods]

I switched at the beginning of this year and haven't looked back. Resolve makes it easier to focus on creating my videos without the frustration of APP. It has really helped unlock my creativity and my videos are getting better with an easier and less expensive software.

[@leonhard20]

Hey Sam, I'm so excited that you switched to Davinci, and just wanted to drop in and let you know that you "can" expand your timeline to fit the frame and you can find it in the keyboard customization, its called "Zoom to fit", I hope this is what you're looking for. I've been such a fan of your work and how amazingly creative you are. So excited to see what you will able to do with this new tool!!

[@lizardpeter]

I totally agree. I've been using Resolve Studio for a year now. It's super fast and stable. Incredible software with the bonus of being a lifetime purchase instead of those horrible subscriptions. One thing I can comment on from my personal experience is that it's best to render videos out to something like DNxHR HQ instead of H264. The encoder Resolve uses by default (and also the NVIDIA one) leaves a lot to be desired. Exporting to something like DNxHR and even uploading that directly to KZbin will make a difference in quality because when KZbin goes to reencode the video it will be working from a MUCH higher quality copy than H264 renders. And then what I do if I need a H264 deliverable for something else is convert the DNxHR render to H264 using Handbrake or FFMPEG. It will be a higher quality encode doing it this way than through Resolve every time.

[@AlexInF1]

I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about but just hearing you state another pro about resolve has sold me to learning the program and buying studio version as well. Maybe someday I’ll understand what you mean but for now I’ll make sure to learn as much as possible haha

[@lizardpeter]

@@AlexInF1 Awesome! I’m just talking about rendering out the final video to DNxHR (a visually lossless encode) vs the super lossy H264 that most people use.

[@BenCrossley]

There's a free plug-in called Voukoder that uses the high quality FFmpeg encoder to export much better H.264/H.265 video. Pretty much just change the preset to 'Slow' with a CBR of 16 and it works super well. It's a must have plug-in in my opinion.

[@emanuelebresciani6281]

I don't know if it could help you, but: I made A LOT of H264 exports for a local TV, and since they worked in interlaced and convert to SD (after delivery, for conforming purposes), it was hard to find the perfect setting in order to obtain the right quality for the end product. Well, I found that in Resolve, if you check "2 pass encoding" in the H264 render and set the proper bitrate manually, the file that it produces is actually very good - and now I can export ProRes and H264 in the same time. I don't know if you ever tried it, but if not, I encourage you to do so.

[@lizardpeter]

@@emanuelebresciani6281 Thanks for the advice. I’ll look into that.

[@SchizophrenicGamer]

100% AGREE. Adobe Premiere has been one of the powerhouses of the video editing industry for years, and it's wildly unjustified. They have not innovated, they have not improved, they've just shifted their business model from "buy this software" to "kind of buy this software, you don't own it but you pay us forever to rent it". In addition to that, PC users are an inconvenience to them, they have had stability issues for over 20 years, and their response is "just use Mac". It's absolutely unjustified for Premiere to have the dominance in the industry that it does, and the price tag that it has, while there are so many other companies offering more for less. Adobe is screwed once people start opening their eyes. I hope so many people see this video and it sinks in.

[@searchontelegraphgoosiest_9388]

You are my lucky⬆️ commenter winner today

[@benjaminzac_Man_Wi_A_Tan]

Adobe also screwed over Corel Paintshop Pro back in the days.

[@collinausbury]

thank you for the hard work you put into this - been using this program for 4+ years and even now learning the program just keeps on giving

[@fuzzydunlop7154]

I really like the lighting and colour choices you made for this video. Everything was very pleasing on the eye without being distracting.

[@brauer87]

I’m new to editing and just yesterday decided to go with Davinci. Looks like I bet on the winning horse 😉 Thank you Sam, always inspiring to watch your work 🤘

[@laserfloyd]

I've gone back and forth over this for years now. I think if I just gave myself a solid month to stick to it, I'd make the switch. Change is scary but the tools in Resolve are pretty darn nice.

[@WhatLurksBeneath]

Hear me out: I love Davinci, I really do but when I start introducing fusion effects into my timeline it lags so bad that completing a project becomes unbearable. This is with proxied footage, correct codecs, updated drivers, and a high end editing computer. I don't have these issues with Premiere.

[@WhatIfIWasARichGirl]

thanks kold. this was my 8th day at learning video editing as a side hustle skill. all this time i thought that i will have to use davinci because i don't have money for subscription of paid softwares. i thought i am lagging behind than other editors this way. But your video was such a relief. Thanks man. Love n respect you loads from India. Wish you light and creativity.

[@navneetsaharan2008]

Nice to see more people switching to Davinci resolve but there are not many great tutorials on Davinci as compared to Adobe products and I wanted to change that. Could not make many tutorials but I have not given up. In fact I am going full time making tutorials soon.

[@Humzashk]

The power of full manual control in premiere pro is a real pain and makes you frustrated. It’s like you have all the tools you need but it’s just not enough.

[@FilmDad]

I personally love having full manual control because you're not limited lol

[@deepakchuru]

The amount of work you have done in Kolder Creative is phenomenal

[@adventuresofaarontaylor]

Are you a member of it? Super expensive but it sounds great

[@deepakchuru]

No i am not, it is very expensive for me too@@adventuresofaarontaylor

[@VTGanja420]

I'm using it myself. Used alot of software and this seems to be overall the best ui/eu app ive played with in a while. I look forward to how much I grow with it :)

[@MrVikas07]

I have never paid for the Adobe PP and Aftereffects, it was a cracked version. Every now and then PP will crash (after effects does not crash that much). I had to constantly keep saving, because it could crash anytime. I thought because mine is cracked version so there are problems... but you say you too having it. WOW. You are making me switch to Da-Vinci resolve. Today was last day with adobe.

[@EricBartolo]

amazing to see that everyone is joining the other side finally! Such an incredible software that really makes you fall in love with video editing once again and overtime you open the software! Regarding the timeline, there is an option to have a full screen timeline on a secondary monitor Sam!

[@PrimVB]

Do you still keep After effects/photoshop?

[@EricBartolo]

@@PrimVB yeah still use them but Premiere Pro is uninstalled from my system and I only edit video with Resolve 😁

[@therealstephenfilms]

just had a major screaming match with my mac because of Premiere Pro. Thanks for reminding me that Davinci Exists. My Whole Apartment complex thanks you actually

[@gionavarro]

Muchos muchos años en Premiere, y hace poco más de 2 años di el cambio a DaVinci, por un cliente intenté en el flujo de Final Cut, pero definitivamente DaVinci Resolve es la cream de la cream, brutal tu trabajo kold!

[@vincisastaroth8194]

Estoy con Premiere como muchos jaja, pero neta me cuesta creer que sea asi de bueno, aun viendo el video y leyendo los buenos comentarios, voy a tener probarlo jaja

[@gionavarro]

@@vincisastaroth8194 ya te digo que el cambio es magnífico, también depende mucho de tu workflow, al final son herramientas con las que realizamos nuestro trabajo, utiliza la que te haga la tarea más fácil y rápido, eso se traduce en tiempo y dinero.

[@TsubasaAnimations]

7 minutes in and you have me sold on getting into this. Dynamic Link was the main thinking keeping me on premiere but I can easily leave that for the robust features you've outlined. Much better to have one program to work in that constantly jump around 3 resource hungry programs

[@straatz]

Perfect description and in depth explanation of each detail/reason for the switch.

[@ExplosivePeeps]

Thank you for being real and not being a snake oils salesman on this program. I downloaded it and tried it out. I was using Wondershare Filmora X. But this changes everything.

What does davinci offer in the way of "MOGRT"s ? is this something they also have covered? Great video and certainly pushed us to start learning new skills. Thanks Sam

[@samevans515]

Davinci Resolve is to video editing what Blender is to 3D Pipeline! An Absolute Godsend!

[@rygaming16]

this video made me fall in love with video editing again thankyou and thankyou davinci for creating this gold!

[@remenpradhan2030]

I also made a jump long time back like almost two years back and now I see every creator jumping and totally makes sense. Great. Keep learning

[@mateusfogato]

About the course, I wish that you consider an international payment program, like I am from Brazil and the conversion of dollar to real it is not helping so much haha. Of course it is not you fault, but I think you could make the price a little more affordable for other countries. It looks like we would pay less but if you make the conversion from US$ 799 to real it would be something around R$ 4.189, it turns a little expensive haha, like, no chance of buying. But if you could lower the price a little, it does not need to be R$ 799, but something that we could consider buying it, it would help a lot. You can think that you would earn less money but actually more people would buy, so at the end you would gain more because it is a money that you will not receive because of the devaluation of the other currencies. Thank you for your attention and I wish you all the success :D

[@brunobellomunhoz]

For comparison, the minimum wage here in Brazil is R$1212,00, so it would be 3.5x our minimum wage. It's really out of our reality unfortunately.

[@elroherrero]

Same here in Mexico! This is about $16,000 mxn pesos! More than 3 months of minimum wage 😱 I have no doubt the course is great and completely worth it, but it’s just too much for some countries.

[@lowaimnobrain]

the idea of "power bins" is something I've wanted in editing software since.. like 2005? I'm really casual user who only edits something like once per year but still, crazy it took this long

[@littleamsterdam9642]

Except Davinci Resolve is so slow when adding a few layers, masks and effects, even on a modern machine. It struggles playing audio when the timeline gets busy and its background caching is a nightmare. It's a great free tool and very capable, but I'd encourage anyone to try the Vegas Pro demo before dropping $s on Resolve. So much faster and intuitive than any other software I've used. I have no idea why it isn't more popular, maybe because it's PC only.

[@A_I_M_E]

You may need to check your machine. Mine has no problems.

[@UncleSeven]

I watched 5-6 videos about switching from Premiere to Davinci. This Video is TOP. Thank you.

I have recently moved to using Resolve and I love the quality of the software and the end product.
