Same sort of. I taught myself FCP but they charged and changed. I got overwhelmed and quit. Started back in iMovie and outgrew it quickly. This tutorial brings me hope of creativity again! Thx.
i was a capcut editor, and i came across davinci. when i first started everything overwhelmed me and i had thoughts of switching back to capcut. this tutorial helped me alot thanks!
Please enable in this video the possibility to pay you a "Thanks" either $5 or more in UA-cam because this video deserves that You are an angel man! You saved me!
I appreciate that! I don’t have donations set up at the moment- but I’ll be offering some paid goodies soon aimed at helping content creators on a deeper level (which would support me in a similar way), stay tuned 😀
I just learned about Davinci Resolve about 30 minutes ago (I was trying to find an alternative to Premiere because it's just way too much for me). Found this video and I'm super impressed. I have a hard time learning these programs and you break down the basics so well. Thank you for making this video.
Excellent video! I have not ever electronically edited a video, when I was in high school (1970s) we edited 16mm film by literally cutting and splicing. My son has edited with DaVinci Resolve and is going to coach me. Your video is very helpful and encouraging - now I'm not scared to try. I fly as a hobby and I've started taking an action camera along.
Some additional thoughts, when I followed your steps with a new install of DR 18.6 on my Windows 10 machine, some of the panels you showed were not visible by default and I really struggled to find how to display them. These questions are SO basic that no-one bothers to answer them anywhere. For example, the "Control Room" panel was extremely hard to find. I eventually found it: Workspace > Show Panel in Workspace > Meters Similarly, I couldn't find the Audio options for trying dialogue levelling, until I figured out I needed the Inspector selected on the top right. So a basics video is incredibly helpful, until there's something different between your interface and what we see, and then we're completely screwed. Something to consider for next time. Thanks again.
I agree. I just got v18 and this vid says 2024 in the title, but my screen is very different from his! Plus a beginner's tut could be a bit slower, please! I've seen other Resolve vids and they all look very different. I don't know if I want to learn this app if it changes shape so often.
@@TerryWysocki I found it a lot easier when I slowed the video down to -1.25 speed. I kept stopping and following the steps on the program, and then returning to the tutorial. At first my interface looked different, until I realised I was in the "cut" mode rather than the "edit" mode. Then it was the same.
Very clear and straight to the point, thank you! I was using Premier Pro and Vegas before, just wanted a quick walkthrough to familiarise myself with DaVinci Resolve's layout and this guide was perfect for it.
Ben, hi. There are a lot of lessons on Davinci online, and lessons on processing 360 video in Davinci are very few. This is what we expect from you. Lessons on adding 360 different objects and 3d inscriptions to the video will also be interesting. Good luck. I expect new lessons from you and, as always, your beautiful smile. Anton
yeah there are tons of creators doing the same thing, but you stand out cause of the simplicity and coherency of your content. really love your stuff. thanks
Thank u. I avoided this program -despite the overwhelmingly positive reviews- for one reason only. So many people were saying there's a steep learning curve and that it's not beginner friendly. While that may be true, it's far less intimidating than I thought. It looks ultra helpful and cool. Perhaps even better organized than what I was using before, and with far more tools. I'm actually glad I encountered an unfixable error with the old one and was forced to consider this far superior option. And as someone who has no income currently, I really could not have asked for anything better.
You're awesome for this! For the longest time I've been using a super basic video editor that constantly crashed on me and so I just downloaded this editor today. I've been sleeping on it out of the fear of the potential learning curve on a new program but this made me feel way better about it, thank you so much!
Thank God this exists! I saw a couple of small UA-camrs with good editing style from a game I usually play, and they all used this editing software. Compared to my editing skills, they're WAY WAY better and that motivated me to learn how to edit better, not just because I want to make better videos, but to also learn a new skill. I don't want to only have 1 niche skill to rely on haha
As someone coming from premier pro, I was pretty confused about DaVinci when I started learning it. This tutorial was so helpful even to a slightly experienced editor
From an Arch-viz workflow, I always assumed Adobe products were the "go-to". I have finally tried DaVinci and I wont be going back. Thank you for your videos!
Thank you! I'm a complete novice on video editing and hadn't a clue on how to get started and what to do. I watched this video and got my first video in DaVinci Resolve created and on a thumb drive!
You’ve been a lifesaver to me all week ❤. I was tired of paying for Filmora as it was constantly riddled with freezing issues and my subscription was about to renew for the year and month. Thank you.
Switching over to Davinci after spending the last 10 years on Sony Vegas for editing and scrubbing through long form content. There are some similarities between both of them, but a lot more functionality in Davinci from what I'm seeing. Great tutorial dude
Brilliant tutorial. You covered all the main points of Davinci Resolve in a clear, concise way. Everything I needed to get started. I came from knowing nothing about video editing to using it all the time, now. Thank you!
THANK YOU for this tutorial. Although I'm not a seasoned video editor, I've been using Premiere for over a decade. This video is extremely helpful as I'm now transitioning to DaVinci. All the best.
I'm just starting my UA-cam journey and decided to switch from iMovie to DaVinci and was so overwhelmed, this was helpful thank you! lets hope it goes well 😂
This is possibly the best introductory video to DVR to be found on the internet. I had the software installed and lying dormant on my pc for weeks, afraid to even open it due to the intimidating learning curve. But then I bumped into this tutorial and within minutes I was able to start working on my video project. Wish I had found it earlier. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Great tutorial! The explanation is crisp, clear, and to the point without unnecessary dialogue. Perfect for beginners like me just starting with editing in DaVinci Resolve. Thank you for making it so easy to understand!
Absolutely superb tutorial! Thank you a million. I spent a day trying to get started in Pr and simply had enough. DaVinci is exactly the way I would design a video editing software.
Great entry video tutorial! Clean, fast, and to the point. Sadly some content creators seem to like the sound of their own voice a bit too much so they can get drawn out. Thanks for not doing that!
Very helpful. My team is editing with DaVinci for a couple of years now, and I was producing my UA-cam videos in the beginning myself, but never did the switch to DaVinci Resolve. And to see a quick overview and how similar it is to other editing programs just helped me a lot, since I will go back to the editing myself look forward to it a lot. Thanks so much ✊
Thanks so much! I just downloaded this software to try and edit some golfing videos… been thinking about becoming a content creator and I need to learn editing so when I opened DaVinci I was quite overwhelmed! But, your step by step instructions and calming commentary has really helped me out. I think I’m ready to try out this whole editing thing! Once again, thanks! And keep up the good work!

Yeah same I'm coming from iMovie too
Tbh DaVinci feels like imovie and premiere mixed together
moving from imovie too 😭lowkey sick of it

ye same im switching now
me too lol
i was a clipchamp user, trying to export a video from davinci resolve before watching any tutorials brought me close to tears lol (it was at 3am)
And how would you describe your experience after 3 months? Did you stick to Davinci?
I’ve just started using Davinci Resolve and this video has got to be the best introduction video for new starters to date. Many thanks
Great to hear!
