Could not agree more, I have never once regretted my purchase of Davini Resolve even though I possess meat and potatoes editing skills..😊 I absolutely adore the program and the company. And your videos have been a tremendous help !! Great vid!
Pretty much sums it up. I switched from capcut about 4 months ago and don't regret it at all. Yes, it is quite complex compared to capcut, but the features are almost limitless.
Yeah, even though I was pretty knowledgable in CapCut, the fact that more and more features are moved to the subscription model, I switched. Even as a total beginner in Davinci Resolve, after a few weeks I decided to get the Studio version. So far did not regret it and doubt I ever will.
Thanks MrAlex, your videos are great - the pace, the level of detail, and your overall presentation style are hugely watchable and very informative. Overall I'm happy with Davinci Resolve and plan to stick with it: I am confident it can do pretty much everything I want to do - if I can figure out how to do it. That's a big if though! Let's face it, some stuff which feels like it ought to be relatively straightforward is surprisingly complex to achieve, and to me at least, not very intuitive. I recently wanted to do one of those effects where there's an animation of a route drawn on top of a map. It took me about two hours to figure it out, and there was a lot of trial and error getting the settings right. I just wish there were a few more templates / shortcuts for what seem like common patterns like that.
Switched to Davinci about 10 months ago. Knew nothing, from videos like these I can now crank out youtube videos. Admittedly I have tons more to learn. Couple things I wish to see would be quick go to's for us UA-cam guys......such as drawing arrows and circles, etc on screen.....being able to just tell Fairlight I wan't this video to -14 LUFS like I can in Adobe Audition, several other things, but I could go on. I'm sticking with Davinci. Will upgrade sometime soon to the Studio version.
Great video Alex. I hope people take your advice and start using Davinci Resolve. I've gotten by with the free version and have you mostly to thank for getting over a lot of the initial training hump almost 6 years ago, and I never ran into a limitation for the content I produce. Our friend Daniel Batal gifted me a speed editor with a Studio license, and I'm getting into a lot of those new to me features and can't wait to learn more.
By the way, I came across your podcast on Spotify and ended up binge-listening over the weekend. You and Casey have great chemistry, and it’s just so enjoyable to listen to you. Keep it coming! ;)
I fully agree. Blackmagic is just a lot more user-friendly and they provide so much for starter editors. Also, I just want to say thank you for all you've done for us editors and Davinci as a whole. If it weren't for you, my edits would be a lot harder and take 10x longer. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.
I got the studio version free with a Speed Editor a few years back, before there were many YT tutorial videos. After struggling for ages I gave up. Fast forward a few years, and I am now editing for my own little YT channel thanks mainly to channels like this one, so thank you Alex for all your helpful advice and tuition. I bought your Magic Animate earlier this year as a thank you. I mainly edit my motovlogs as multicam using two or three cameras and have found that DV crashes quite a lot when using multicam for some reason, so it's often not quite as stable as I would hope. Other than that it's excellent, and I am gradually starting to do really simple stuff in fusion and fairlight too. Keep up the good work!
I had a very bad dream recently in which Blackmagic got bought by a larger company (I think it was Sony) and they introduced the dreaded subscription payments :(
You are too modest Alex. You didn't include that one best reason, why now is the right time to switch, are the super informative instructional videos from yourself. 🙂 Top Man.
Kind - and true, Alex.Your videos have helped me overcome some initial hurdles, and I find the DVR community overall to be incredibly supportive and unique.
I did the change a few years ago and have not regretted the move . Never stop learning using davinci resolve , I am considering buying studio in the near future as well.
Hi, I have been using Davinci Resolve since ver15 & I really enjoy it. There is a step learning curve, especially fusion, so anyone new to DR should not expert to create a Hollywood block buster in a week! One of my reasons for switching to DR was the quality of the teaching material on UA-cam, such as Mr Alex.
I've used Resolve (Studio) for a long time, but, THIS video highlighted some things I didn't know I always had (ducking, auto audio leveling, remix?!). Having a high-level feature list video, like a topic list, is very helpful - thanks! (will be referring this vid to friends/family)
I think one big change we must have in resolve auto match beat like that we have in capcut , I think it's not hard to have this feature in davinci and i hope we can have this in newer updates it will save alot of time and it's headache to deal with the timeline without auto beat match
@@inmmaWhat arena? CapCut is by far the most used NLE, with Premiere Pro in second place. In Indie movies, PP is probably the most used NLE but in Hollywood, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro and probably still Sony Vegas Pro, are the most used NLEs. But almost all uses Avid. So, it really depends on the market.
Davinci resolve is so awesome, I wanna go out and buy the studio version and I would or will, once I put in a few years, I'm starting out making video slide shows for my music and art and mr Alex has great video lessons that keep me learning as well as entertained thanks black magic and all the creative you tube videos people, I wish these tools were around when I was a kid
Even as a basic editor, DVR is so simple (once you learn the basics). I'm yet to purchase Studio, but there's enough in the free version to keep me going. Your arguments to upgrade are compelling!
5:31 is really a gamechanger. Another pro-tip: you can stack two timelines together to make it easier for you to create trailers out of long podcasts or movies. 😉
Another great video Alex, you are one of the primary reasons we chose to switch to Davinci and get the studio version. Your tutorials have helped take our video podcast to the next level where post production is concerned :)
Great video. This reinforces my plan to switch from CyberLink PowerDirector to Davinci Resolve before the PowerDirector license expires. I'll use the free version of Davinci Resolve until the missing stuff annoys me too much. So far it's just limited multi-screen support.
Thanks Alex for your explanations, you make the approach to a program like this exciting and approachable, which I would say is not at all simple. I'm working with the free version but I intend to buy a speed editor that will help me speed up the editing and have the Studio version of DVR. Thanks again.
I’ve grown to love DVR. At first, I was overwhelmed, but now I’m amazed by all the possibilities. I still have a long way to go to properly learn DVR, but now I’m hooked. The only thing that’s really challenging for me is how resource-intensive it is. I’d love to create more motion graphics, but my PC can’t handle it - it just crashes. It’s time for powerful hardware...
I come a long way from many editing softwares like AVID, Final Cut Pro 7, Final Cut Pro X, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve - and I can say: Every software has its advantages and disadvantages! So today and further on I like features at Premiere and others in DaVinci Resolve. At every project I decide which one will fit the current needs. That´s my way to deal with it.
Editing by text works extremely well -- it has sync issues with variable frame rate footage however, so the results are better with proper intermediate codecs or raw codecs, but that's pretty minor caveat once you know about it. All you have to do is transcode your cell phone footage to DNxHR or ProRes and then transcribe the clip before you edit by text.
The best video editor ever. After 15 years adobe premiere and now since 1,5 years, davinci resolve studio i will never will go back to adobe. great video THX
Thanks Alex, for outlining the features of Davinci Resolve and the new power offered by version 19. I started out with Adobe products, but the single application approach and one-time pricing for a lifetime license convinced me that DV offers a greater value with ever improving features and functionality. Like you say Alex, there's never been a better time to switch to Davinci Resolve!
Was hesitant at first due to the fact a lot of studios use adobe. But then most work is better pay as a freelancer so it does not matter. Plus I like that you can collaborate with the cloud.
A delivery of our videos to viewers does not only depend on how fast you edit. It in most part depends on how fast DaVinci renders the project into a file. If you use Super Scale feature for 3 hour project it will be rendered approximately 1% an hour which equals 4.5 days. But this is not it. Then UA-cam takes over. To process the uploaded video would take ... forever, starting from approx 15-20 hours. But the funniest thing with UA-cam is when the estimated processing time has passed, you'll enjoy watching 3 messages under Video quality icons: Still processing. And this "still processing" may last forever indeed, or simply unknown amount of time.
I feel sad that I already have Resolve Studio now Alex. This video would convince me to switch to Resolve and get Studio. It is certainly a worthwhile investment. I'm also happy to inform you that the resent releases have been much faster on AMD GPU's which used to struggle a little. 👍
Maybe you could do a tutorial about to use transcription to cut silence, but with some tips when you record "mistakes". I mean happens to say something wrong, so you repeat it, but the transcription/cut silence doesn't works as expected. Even if the transcription find the right words, in my experience (just tried it out) it cutted out the second attempt (the correct one) leaving the first/wrong one. Maybe is just a bug or something that still doesn't works as expected, but if you have any tip would be very helpful and a huge time saving. Thank you for your videos and effects, you are very helpful and your video are also enjoyable!
79, not exactly prolific. You are. And, I’ve been a loyal subscriber,and joined your group. I started with Free, went Studio with the Speed Editor option around ver 18. Was a donation more than a need. Great value donation, for me. Don’t even recognize some of the screens you showed…still a newb obviously. Still trying to establish the workflow for me. You help a lot. It’s not an easy program. Not for the faint of heart, but the rewards are great! Thanks for the enormous library of truly helpful videos. My request to you is to slow down the delivery for the things that might be difficult, for us slightly new types. It’s a very comprehensive program, and I only use a tiny bit. But, you do have a habit of opening my eyes, for which I thank you. 🇨🇦
Hey Alex, one thing (at least for me) is the transcriptions don't great for me. I think the reason why is I am one of those people who shoots tutorials or art product reviews and then does the VO. So when I put all my clips in the order I want them, I edit the video around the voice clips which means I record some VO in audacity and bring it in bit by bit. I think this is meant to be a longer file that Davinci has time to properly analyze.
Hey i didn't understand what you said but i also kind of do the same I mean voice over then editing. But I'm curious why you need to record you voice in audacity? Isn't resolve good enough? I wonder
Switching to Davinci Resolve has been good for a long time. Adobe is greedy for money. That's why you have to change. However, Davinci Resolve is even better.
Davinci is still missing some features that Capcut offers (I started on Davinci and still use it). But caption animation and stuff would be great. Things that would enable quick everyday edits to be hassle free.
I bought the full version, but every time I try to use it, I'm appalled at how inefficient it is, both in speed and workflow, to Capcut. It may be good for professional users with high demands, lots of training, and fast hardware. But it barely runs on my notebook, taking half an hour to export a two minute UA-cam short, something that Capcut does in about two minutes. Yes, the resulting chroma key is not as good, but with a daily video to post on my channel, I need something quick and easy to use that will let me publish my video and start on the next one every single day, without having to pay thousands for a high end GPU. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not for everyone. Depending on one's needs and resources, a simple solution can sometimes be better than some theoretical killer app that just doesn't get the job done.
What's the import and export settings, do they differ between the programs? I'm a newbie, but maybe somebody will be able to spot something obvious here.
Do you have a video on the Blackmagic Cloud setup for syncing proxies only etc? I would love to have a setup like that, as I often sit in different locations for my work. Sometimes on a satellite office, sometimes home, sometimes even in my car. Thank you!
Hi Alex, is Version 19 more demanding in terms of computer resources? With a i7 laptop, can Version 19 run as nice as with Version 18, or not? What's your opinion?
I desperately want to switch, I’ve used Premiere for years as my job and hate the Adobe model. It’s just a shame that the edit page in Davinci doesn’t quite stack up to Premiere’s effect controls. I have macros that speed up my editing hugely, and if I can find a way to bring it over, I’d love to leave Adobe behind.
u dont need convince me. i started with resolve. but can u convive the film industry. now i have to force my self to learn Pr. How can i go bac after spending soo much time in resolve
it will probably soon be over if the kennedy with the smoll gap in between his eyes becomes the 'minister of health' 😂so many job openings are coming our way lol
I’m gonna stick with Final Cut Pro. I tried resolve and premiere but I just edit faster with the magnetic timeline. I tried getting used to the resolve cut page but it feels like it’s missing a dimension of movement, and the regular page is just like premiere in terms of editing speed Once you learn how to magnetic timeline you can’t go back
Could you help me with black screen problem in new update, I tried what you said in earlier video but that doesn't work .and when I have to add a strip in the bottom of vertical video it doesn't come on the bottom it stuck in middle
How I wish Black Magic had other softwares like Adobe where you can subscribe to a particular plan. I'm a photographer, graphic designer and video editor so I stick to Adobe because i need photoshop, Lightroom, premier, adobe audition. Please is there a way forward with Davinci ?
i'm having issues with timecoding in the new version. i auto sync using timecode, it throws my timecode audio within the video and includes the zoom f8n audio I recorded to as the track BEFORE the video. It's weird.
I love my studio version. It makes me angrier about the subscriptions for other software programs I rely on like rendering and design. How is this possible to pay once and own Davinci plus updates but other companies make you pay monthly or annually to have access to software?
11:50 unfortunately the Linux part is only theoretically true. While it is available for Linux there are some codec limitations as no h.245/h.265 in the free version and no aac for free or studio version. Resolve is the reason I switched back to windows…
I just start watching the video but before I start I just want to say that every software have its pros and cons. There are things that people gonna love on both sides whatever it is Adobe or Davinci Resolve. So still there is no perfect software with all the features and things.
11:38 min. but if you only got 1 license? you need to write your number down. activate/deactivate on multiple devices. only 2 at same time. Am i right?
Hi, maybe here i will find answer - the facial refinement is not working on mac studio properly - operating mode "beauty automatic" is not working at all :( cant find any answer and clue.
One thing that's really unappealing for me is the overall layout. It's just so unintuitive that you gotta watch tutorials on youtube to even begin to understand this mess. Almost nothing is clear when you open this program for the first time. For example, a thing as simple as chroma key is so weird to do in davinci compared to other editing softwares. I used movavi for quite a while, there you just click on the clip, go to options, select chroma key and set it up. Right after you can position the object where you want by just dragging it on the screen. While in davinci you got 5 different tabs below, gotta swich to one of them, click a mysterious symbol, click on the green background,click on another mysterious symbol, go back to the previous tab and I don't even know yet how to move the object to a certain position. While davinci offers many options and provides a huge potential for the things you can do which is quite appealing, the layout is such a mess that it kinda scares me off...
I use Resolve but wish it was like Vegas so I can smoosh two clips together for a dissolve or fade. Or just drop transition between two clips without having to trim them first. Or press one button on keyboard to make a cut. Resolve has a killer render sizes but because it is a pro tool, it take more effort to do simple things.
Agreed in my experience when it comes to basic editing and video splicing Vegas can run circles round DRS on low end hardware. Before I started with DRS about 2019 my pc could handly 6xFHDx6 hours video streams without issues, DRS needed proxies. Heck even editors like Kdenlive were way more responsive not needing proxies.
MrAlexTech, to put it simply, DaVinci 19 Free is better than DaVinci 16 paid was. You get more with the free version of 19 than you did with the 16 paid version.
wow ! i didnt' know you can get the studion version if you buy some hardware from them... not factoring in a camera; what would be some good hardware recs you suggest? i do plan to buy the studio version but if i can get it with some hardware might as well do that instead too lol
There is a way to input animated graphics without doing it from zero? I dont know, maybe a stock with a bunch of models? PS: its a shame magic mask is paid version.
Yes it can, I'm a resolve fan however I'll admit AE is much better and easy if you do motion graphics, but if your goal is vfx you definitely want to switch resolve. It's not like motion graphics isn't possible in resolve, it's just not that intuitive like AE. But i still love resolve.
Could not agree more, I have never once regretted my purchase of Davini Resolve even though I possess meat and potatoes editing skills..😊 I absolutely adore the program and the company. And your videos have been a tremendous help !! Great vid!

If you scroll down the centre column on the Support page of the Blackmagic website, there is a DaVinci Resolve Studio & iPad Features document.😀

Yeaaah auto beat match would be dope. I know there is some third party plugins that do it, but natively would be cool.
I use it since version 15, Studio since 18, still learning and still happy with it and still having fun working with Resolve.
I used the free version first. Now, with buying the editor keyboard, I have the studio version. 😊
Couldn’t be happier.
You trying to pick a fight or somethin'?
Haha love you Davinci fam ❤
Haha I'm trying to get the 'NLE Creators' Boxing championship going so we can earn the big bucks 😁

The only option that I see that is missing that I use consistently in PP, is removing filler words. I would switch if that was in DR.
You rock Alex!
If I buy Studio now, can I still install prior versions? My current machine doesn't meet the Mac OS requirement for Resolve 9. Cheers
Switching to Davinci Resolve has been good for a long time. Adobe is greedy for money. That's why you have to change. However, Davinci Resolve is even better.
Great info my friend thank you
The best thing I did was leave Premier and learn Davinci Resolve. Studio owner now. No Regrets
Davinci is still missing some features that Capcut offers (I started on Davinci and still use it). But caption animation and stuff would be great. Things that would enable quick everyday edits to be hassle free.
Thanks MT Alex, your convincing me. A good job.
I bought the full version, but every time I try to use it, I'm appalled at how inefficient it is, both in speed and workflow, to Capcut. It may be good for professional users with high demands, lots of training, and fast hardware. But it barely runs on my notebook, taking half an hour to export a two minute UA-cam short, something that Capcut does in about two minutes. Yes, the resulting chroma key is not as good, but with a daily video to post on my channel, I need something quick and easy to use that will let me publish my video and start on the next one every single day, without having to pay thousands for a high end GPU. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not for everyone. Depending on one's needs and resources, a simple solution can sometimes be better than some theoretical killer app that just doesn't get the job done.
What's the import and export settings, do they differ between the programs? I'm a newbie, but maybe somebody will be able to spot something obvious here.
Is the voice isolation in the free version?
Since 2020 ✌️best software and cinema cameras in the market 😎
can you compare ( FC vs Davinci ) which one is better for speed ramping all the real estate stuff?
I just got the full version and I am looking for a good beginner’s tutorial to take me through creating a simple UA-cam video. Any suggestions?
Do you have a video on the Blackmagic Cloud setup for syncing proxies only etc?
I would love to have a setup like that, as I often sit in different locations for my work. Sometimes on a satellite office, sometimes home, sometimes even in my car.
Thank you!
Hi Alex, is Version 19 more demanding in terms of computer resources? With a i7 laptop, can Version 19 run as nice as with Version 18, or not? What's your opinion?
No your good. Remember it's free to try. Don't be scared.
I desperately want to switch, I’ve used Premiere for years as my job and hate the Adobe model. It’s just a shame that the edit page in Davinci doesn’t quite stack up to Premiere’s effect controls. I have macros that speed up my editing hugely, and if I can find a way to bring it over, I’d love to leave Adobe behind.
Let's do it.
Hi MrAlex, please what camera and lens you use for your channel?
Hey hey! Lumix S5ii with Sigma 16-28mm f2.8
@@MrAlexTechmake a video on it please, black magic cameras vs sony lumix
u dont need convince me. i started with resolve. but can u convive the film industry. now i have to force my self to learn Pr. How can i go bac after spending soo much time in resolve
the industry knows, it's the boomers stuck first with avid and now ALSO with that other one because i guess they love abusive corporations “¯\_(ツ)_/¯“
it will probably soon be over if the kennedy with the smoll gap in between his eyes becomes the 'minister of health' 😂so many job openings are coming our way lol
Free version does not work with 10-bit footage.
I’m gonna stick with Final Cut Pro. I tried resolve and premiere but I just edit faster with the magnetic timeline. I tried getting used to the resolve cut page but it feels like it’s missing a dimension of movement, and the regular page is just like premiere in terms of editing speed
Once you learn how to magnetic timeline you can’t go back
Could you help me with black screen problem in new update, I tried what you said in earlier video but that doesn't work .and when I have to add a strip in the bottom of vertical video it doesn't come on the bottom it stuck in middle
How I wish Black Magic had other softwares like Adobe where you can subscribe to a particular plan.
I'm a photographer, graphic designer and video editor so I stick to Adobe because i need photoshop, Lightroom, premier, adobe audition.
Please is there a way forward with Davinci ?
Hi Alex, could you please do a short video on how to get full studio for free by buying speed editor.
i'm having issues with timecoding in the new version. i auto sync using timecode, it throws my timecode audio within the video and includes the zoom f8n audio I recorded to as the track BEFORE the video. It's weird.
I love my studio version. It makes me angrier about the subscriptions for other software programs I rely on like rendering and design. How is this possible to pay once and own Davinci plus updates but other companies make you pay monthly or annually to have access to software?
4 Dislikes are from Adobe Board of Members
11:50 unfortunately the Linux part is only theoretically true. While it is available for Linux there are some codec limitations as no h.245/h.265 in the free version and no aac for free or studio version. Resolve is the reason I switched back to windows…
It's criminal how much of what BM gives us for FREE and the paid version blows it out of the water as a ONE time fee
I've been using free version for my small UA-cam channel, it looks like paid version is worth. I'm going to buy the controller for it.
does davinci has music remix tool?
Even the name DaVinci is something special 😃
I just start watching the video but before I start I just want to say that every software have its pros and cons.
There are things that people gonna love on both sides whatever it is Adobe or Davinci Resolve.
So still there is no perfect software with all the features and things.
Totally agree!
11:38 min. but if you only got 1 license? you need to write your number down. activate/deactivate on multiple devices. only 2 at same time. Am i right?
Hi, maybe here i will find answer - the facial refinement is not working on mac studio properly - operating mode "beauty automatic" is not working at all :( cant find any answer and clue.
wait you can just buy the speed editor and get a licence for free?
Yup! Just make sure you double check with the supplier first. It was an offer that was meant to end... But it never really did 😄
One thing that's really unappealing for me is the overall layout. It's just so unintuitive that you gotta watch tutorials on youtube to even begin to understand this mess. Almost nothing is clear when you open this program for the first time.
For example, a thing as simple as chroma key is so weird to do in davinci compared to other editing softwares. I used movavi for quite a while, there you just click on the clip, go to options, select chroma key and set it up. Right after you can position the object where you want by just dragging it on the screen. While in davinci you got 5 different tabs below, gotta swich to one of them, click a mysterious symbol, click on the green background,click on another mysterious symbol, go back to the previous tab and I don't even know yet how to move the object to a certain position.
While davinci offers many options and provides a huge potential for the things you can do which is quite appealing, the layout is such a mess that it kinda scares me off...
I use Resolve but wish it was like Vegas so I can smoosh two clips together for a dissolve or fade. Or just drop transition between two clips without having to trim them first. Or press one button on keyboard to make a cut. Resolve has a killer render sizes but because it is a pro tool, it take more effort to do simple things.
Agreed in my experience when it comes to basic editing and video splicing Vegas can run circles round DRS on low end hardware. Before I started with DRS about 2019 my pc could handly 6xFHDx6 hours video streams without issues, DRS needed proxies. Heck even editors like Kdenlive were way more responsive not needing proxies.
Smoosh clips together like Vegas: shift alt, drag
One key cut; customise keyboard (I use “2”)
MrAlexTech, to put it simply, DaVinci 19 Free is better than DaVinci 16 paid was. You get more with the free version of 19 than you did with the 16 paid version.
wow ! i didnt' know you can get the studion version if you buy some hardware from them... not factoring in a camera; what would be some good hardware recs you suggest? i do plan to buy the studio version but if i can get it with some hardware might as well do that instead too lol
The Speed Editor for no more then $395 USD (sometimes less).
@@_Oregon_Sunday_Drives_360 Thank you!!
Switched from premiere pro and never looked back.
Caption editing is still a pain tho. Gonna take me ages to finish in resolve vs capcut!
switched a year ago, after using premier pro, on and off for over a decade, never made a better decision. davinci is not perfect, but its far better
"and you're not being bled dry every single month for the privilege to do so" 🔥
There is a way to input animated graphics without doing it from zero? I dont know, maybe a stock with a bunch of models?
PS: its a shame magic mask is paid version.
Hope Resolve will hv more about Ai features development
Basically a love letter to Blackmagic Design
Can Resolve do stuff you can do in Adobe After Effects?
Yes it can, I'm a resolve fan however I'll admit AE is much better and easy if you do motion graphics, but if your goal is vfx you definitely want to switch resolve. It's not like motion graphics isn't possible in resolve, it's just not that intuitive like AE. But i still love resolve.
agree with everything from arch linux ❤❤
How can you time the Remixer stems? No Keyframes
Just cut the music track up, and then use a crossdissolve.
@@MrAlexTech Thank You!
I'm on the latest version, but I don't have the Dialogue Seperator 🤔🤔
Its on the timeline audio track, not the audio clip itself.
