*KEYBOARD SHORTCUT RECAP* A lot of his shortcuts are the same as the Adobe Premiere defaults but the shortcuts he added are really helpful and I am excited to use them as I transition to Davinci. Thanks Zach! TAB = OPEN MEDIA POOL Q = TRIM START OF CLIP W = SPLIT CLIP E = TRIM END OF CLIP I = IN O= , = ADD TO END OF TIMELINE *SKIMMING CLIPS* J = REVERSE K = STOP L = FORWARD R = SPEED X = RIPPLE DELETE S= SNAP Feel free to correct me if I mixed any of these up or missed any.

[@perera7]

i'm not finding "open media pool" anywhere. how can i find it?

[@Itsanasmusic]

I didn't realize a tutorial can be this entertaining just to watch. You've earned yourself a subscriber! Thank you.❤😂

[@arifturgan]

FİRST REASON NOT PAY MONTHLY

[@7topseven7]

Love adobe but ya this is the reason I’m switching. Paying monthly is a scam.

[@danwucreative]

I've never laughed out loud watching any DaVinci Resolve tutorial videos, until now. The FART BOOM.mp3 killed me. Humor is on another level. LIFETIME SUBSCRIBER!!!

[@michaeljamesmedia]

Hands down the best and most concise video I have found on making this switch happen.

[@scottrgarland]

I watched a 2hr and another 4hr Resolve Course here on YT and I learned more in this video than the ENTIRE 6 hours I spent on the others. Thanks man!

[@stevewhitehead7318]

One of the most helpful videos I have ever watched! Nice one Zach! In the process of finishing my last project in Premiere before the big move. I have done some practicing in Resolve and so far I love it! The colour grade trick of copying the grades between clips… wow! What a time saver that is! 👌🏻

[@hospobimbo]

Easily one of the greatest KZbin tutorials… of all time. Thank you Zach!! Been teetering on switching from premiere to Davinci for yonks now and finally made the plunge which led me here. Literally how you explained the pain points of premiere is my internal rage dialogue every day working in it. RIP Adobe. Instant subscribe ❤

[@tanmoyroy2898]

Thank you thank you thank you.. i was watching the resolve website tutorials but they aren't making the exact style of videos there that i make. But this is exactly what i needed to quickly go through the basics. But i wished you would've shared the "speed ramping" and "masking" methods also but maybe for another day. But hey, Thanks again zach!

[@ZachMayfield]

no thank YOU! I thought about including those things but honestly my knowledge is very limited on those topics. Although I did see that Resolve's latest update has some crazy magic masking that I plan on testing!

[@LucasHalastra]

I'v just switched, and im loving it. Refreshing, after years of adobe workflow it feels smoother and organic.

[@ZachMayfield]

Refreshing is the perfect word. I feel like my hair is growing back from lack of stress

[@LucasHalastra]

@@ZachMayfield Hahaha, same here, i even started to push out the trauma of using proxy files! :)

[@PRARTS.]

are you still using davinci one year later?

[@NonaPrince]

Man this is exactly what I wanted and your style just made it perfect. Felt like a friend is sharing it with me. Hope you have made or make more such videos of transitioning will be really helpful

[@danielkrige7611]

Been on Premiere for as long as I can remember, and was of course overwhelmed by this change, but this video is great, and helped me a lot thank you, youre a legend!

[@rano12321]

Fun Facts: Davinci systems used to cost upwards of $800-900k back in the 80s and then a decade ago, Davinci Resolve with no editing, fusion, fairlight used to cost $25K, and now we have a free version or $300 one time. They are practically giving away this software.

[@alphaomega5017]

Glad you made the switch. Adobe has gone hungry and their like they are leechers on your money. Most of the time Adobe application keeps crashing

[@flodynastyvi]

🤣🤣🤣🤣wow at this point I almost need to find your premiere pro video. Very nice so far... got me excited for migrating away from Premiere... Instant subscriber from the US Virgin Islands. I cracked up throughout and also responded as if we were conversating in person. Very impressive

[@gascl]

bro i still use premiere pro 2012 with same year hardware at this point i just stop updating

[@DIYDirtclub]

Dude this is exactly what I needed. I have been editing in premiere for the last 7 or 8 years. This definitely demystified the switch. Excited to try it out. Thanks for the tips!

[@ForeverDansky]

Thanks so much Zach, this video was super helpful! 👊

[@skeletor.stramen]

I heard that da vinci allows you to export all audio channels as an polywav. Is that really true?? If that is true, that opens so many doors.. it makes audio mixing so easy.. if that is true, then I am switching tomorrow.

[@namenamename390]

I've tried to switch to Resolve, it's free after all. I watched a bunch of tutorials, understood most of it, tried to edit a few videos. I'm convinced it's a very capable editing program, but Resolve finds special ways to annoy me. Why the hell would you ever put the close button for windows in the bottom right? Why would you deviate from the OS standard? No other program on any of my devices does it. Every single time I want to close a window, I have to remind myself that it's different in this one program. Tiny annoyances like that are sprinkled all around the progam, seemingly to piss me off. I want to learn the program, but I'm constantly stubbing my toe on these little things.

[@JRHainsworth]

I'm getting no sound in DaVinci from any of my clips :( It shows the sound bar moving when the clip it playing, and my system settings have the correct device...

[@lulabreacts]

man i will subscribed, im starting with this video the change from premiere to davinci. When you said 300 one time, i was like "oh yeah f*ck adobe"

[@floranknz]

I’m curious, why is it better to do Color adjustment then Rec709 LUT? I would have done the opposite (because I remember Premiere Pro starts with « base adjustments » then « creative adjustments »

[@dianneandsuroy]

Wow, I bit the bullet and got Davinci Resolve 2 days ago and this is the first Premiere to Davinci change tutorial that actually helps. So in-depth, so funny. Thanks dude!

[@aaravtanwar6731]

KZbin deserves creators like YOU my man, beautiful vid! Cheers 🥂

[@Brookssmedia]

Bruh I wished I would have seen this a few days ago I could not figure out how to exit a folder in the project manager lol I'm like this is dumb you go in a folder and you're stuck here forever??? 🤣🤣

[@Matein13]

I know I'm waaaaaayyy late to the party, I'm just learing DaVinci and good god is this video absolutely amazing at getting set up. Thanks so much for this!

[@xypleth]

Such a great thought-of, simple, natural, funny, yet not overproduced and manipulatively overthought content from Zach. I recently started using the program as well, I know most of (but not well) what's thought by you, but it was still a pleasure to dive through, laugh a bit, and learn a few bit tiny things from you. A pleasure watching your content, keep it real.

[@Querxes]

This video was awesome! Thanks for making this

[@martinneely]

Hey Zach, New to the channel but found you because I’m planning on making the jump, however, can I transfer/bring a project across from PP and continue the edit on DaVinci? Or are my PP projects lost to me unless opened on PP? Thanks for the excellent tutorial, I’ll be checking out more in the future. M

[@TkeMedia]

Craziest part of this video is that i found out mac users have to buy a plugin to snap windows

[@C0mmEntre]

i'd like to smack that like button for you but the number... "369" it's so perfect... i can't ruin this...

[@maximilianandereya2415]

Really good. Love your thinking and practicality. One question remains for me. Is there a possibility to see the keyboard shortcuts on the displayed keyboard without putting your cursor on it? Like in PP?

[@JonasSelim]

Was unsure whether to subscribe or not. Then came the fart boom. Subscribed immediately.

[@asliagyat]

how you set tab to open media pool? Can't find the exact command please help

[@CherubRocket1979]

2:43 I was disappointed to see you didn't follow through in pressing Create and there was no Poopsticks folder in Projects

[@itwasme2435]

I’m on the full version of davinci with a 2019 macbook pro 32gb ram and mid sup graphique card, render a video is so looooong (like 5-7 hour for 10 to 12 minute of vid). Edit in 4 k timeline 24 fps, some stab and only one or two clip with slow motion with optical flow ( maybe 10 sec for the whole video. And sometime the render crash =/ I tried on a really good (but 8 years old, gtx 980ti and 24gb ram), same problem. I really like resolve but its kinda frustrating …

[@CJ-uh8bk]

I personally am trying to transition to Resolve, I've used Premiere for years and me personally I haven't suffered too bad from the likes of crashing, however I want better colour grading options, I know resolve is a more modern layout and software overall, it also has better performance, just weird trying to get used to new tools, keyboard shortcuts, etd

[@sebastianetmer3835]

Lovely Video but my settings are not the same when i am switching the keyboard settings from Davinci to Premiere :/

[@Flaxlino2]

So Zach, something that you did not show, and Im having a problem with, is, different form premiere in Davinci if I want to extend a clip that I cut, but there is another clips right next to it, extending the first one will cut over the second one, and i dont want that, i want Davinci to just puth the clip that follows the one im extendin, not to step over it. Do u hae a solution for this?

[@jaxwillbejax]

is there a video where you cover how you made your 80's retro motion graphics intro title?? Looks amazing!

[@michaelfrymus]

I absolutely hate editing video. I was pretty good at it when I did it, but hated it. This is why I stopped shooting video, so Im hoping on making the editing process simpler, faster, and more fun, so I can shoot more video content. :)

[@ColtKirwan]

Your humor is so underrated

[@tonyben-no7il]

ae is faster . if you are not making a movie or production, stay away davinci

[@Funay31]

Can you choose the codec, the res, the bitrate the color range etc when you generate proxies? Or is it just doing it's job by default?

[@philjarrett9213]

I've been a Premiere holdout for way too long and this is the video that made me flip.

[@mokshjain4621]

9:48 - Th guys display colors chages auto matically and he ignores it 😂

[@VSN-wb2ly]

One thing i don't like about davinci is the shortcut buttons, it's pain in the ass to change most of the basic shortcuts.

[@michaelfrymus]

When I put my mouse over a video in the media section, it tends to play the video as you scrub through the thumbnail. Is there a way to disable this?

[@_techfunk]

very helpful video, thank you zach! i love ur humour :)

[@romainm1820]

Thank you

[@Cfcp]

Thanks

[@Kainthemain]

Zach why dont you likr final cut, its a nice software. Also if your not using finalc cut why not just use a pc, alot cheaper and you get more power for the money

[@abhilashsingh20]

I wanna switch but i am unable to Help 😭

[@jemandvondort1585]

Loved the video! Can you tell which software you used to record the screen?

[@maliksikandermov]

Dude you're awesome, love your vibe. And thanks for this perfect video, i'm a professional industry editor trying to understand the davinci landscape. Cheers man

[@jajati9]

What do u mean it won't walk my dog, that's a deal breaker

[@theqc]

Thanx a lot.. this was the best. this video is epic level good. I dont know this video saved a ton of time for me. take love from India

[@mokshjain4621]

Thanks for your shortcuts, saved my job

[@TommyWilson-v7f]

What an awesome video from start to finish. I laughed, I cried. But seriously, I hit the point of no return with Premiere this week when my spec'd up M2 Pro Mac couldn't handle a 4K clip in the timeline without constant beach-balling and using 103% CPU (?!?!). Da Vinci is a breath of fresh air but learning a new tool after 10+ years of Adobe was/is terrifying. This video helped loads, so thanks

[@dani_da_vision]

Man i laughed my pants of when you said f u adobe with ur subscribtion lol

[@MerlinVisuals]

I still can't understand what took me so long.

[@santiagovallory2768]

Haha great content! Plain simple and fun

[@sharpywilliam4513]

I did it Zach, I finally committed and switched to Davinci. This tutorial helped me greatly, theres not turning back now!

[@williamdelacey]

Bloody epic video. Thank you!

[@Moguandleo]

What course are you taking for fussion?

[@66777jason]

Thank you I appreciate the help man

[@diptha_pranasta]

Its help me a lot👊 and also entertaining me😂

[@tjrosemond3232]

Can you give a guide on how to get davinci to walk the dog?

[@uwumiYT]

i'm switching over to davinci for 2024 and this is SUCH a good video, ty!! ^^

[@Tijd4Jan]

Thank you so much! Great to have a tutorial where I can learn and laugh :D

[@georgeingmire7258]

Adobe Premiere ad shows up mid video.🤣

[@spencertorok]

yeww! this was so good zach!! Tab shortcut is genuis! (also not really the same but I mapped G to "normalize audio" - kinda hits the same as audio gain in pr)

[@yayafilms1144]

killin' it!! Thank you

[@joshhartmedia]

It’s so sad how hard I laughed at the fart boom

[@jorik7069]

Really helpfull, thanks!

[@dustashes-everythingtheology]

Dang, this video was amazing!

[@Kainthemain]

This dude should have the same amount of viewers as marques brownle. Start reviewing tech in general reach a bigger audience. Release that fiji juice brother...If your narried that is. I have no idea where this comment is going. I think your videos have affected me :P

[@ZachMayfield]

hahaha much love!! I've def thought about getting more into tech stuff, just gotta make sure it's what I enjoy. Stay juicy friend!!

[@Sergio.GonzalezPrats]

Best tutorial ever

[@jimofhughes]

[@smlc4407]

[@MysticMomentsinQuietude]

Brother, thank you!

[@DanielDFreeman]

Great video. Thanks

[@mokshjain4621]

hey, I reached home...

[@MattMatheson]

Another tip when creating another serial node is you can press alt+s to create a new node already shoe-stringed together after the selected node.

[@rossonerojf1535]

Gracias, explicas muy bien

[@abuelkheirshorts252]

Thank you a lot man

[@prashantshakya2964]

Your tutorial is too good

[@EvanIrwin-n3o]

thank you

[@jolladevices]

Interesting! I was feeling FCP X so dull on editing clips... A question is how Davinci perform vs Final Cut pro on a mac Xeon? It uses better the GPUs?

[@FeelingFreekey]

Bro I am 1 minute in and still scared shitless.

[@FeelingFreekey]

10 minutes in and already downloaded your preset... playing around

[@DIYDirtclub]

man, that I would also be missing that no gain function

[@DIYDirtclub]

would also be a bummer if it doesn't have apply default audio transition

[@BenZerrer]

Great Video. Easy to understand, solid humour and actionable! Love you for the free keyboard bindings that are quite similar to my previous premiere ones.

[@wweshadow1]

Thank you!

[@alinosgg]

Amazing vid !

[@heckensteiner4713]

Great video! Somehow I came away learning how to cut my cat's nostril hairs. Also, thank god you showed that export project feature. I almost uninstalled the DaVinci when I saw I couldn't save project files. I use my own cloud system and I need to be able to save project files in a specific locations, not some top secret database on my C drive. I'll give DaVinci another chance and hopefully that feature does what I need! I can't wait to drop the buggy, bloated mess that is Premiere.

[@EspenJohan]

Im so glad you made the switch Zach, Davinci is ten times better then premiere.

[@ZachMayfield]

It took me a hot minute to make the jump, but I'm feeling stoked. A big thing I miss is the transform effect in premiere. I loved making crazy zooms with motion blur.

[@agrebiala6728]

thank you
