I bought Filmora, then they did that up-grade-date thing.
Now you are in the right path. Glad you are here with us.
Thank you. I am looking to kick Filmora to the curb and this looks like a winner.
Something always wanted to learn this, would you mind if I started with a hopefully simple project and try create a lyrics version of your awesome rock 'n roll single I won't post it without your permission though but hopefully you allow me to. Massive thank you for the tutorial
OH, HELLS YEAH!
DANIEL since you made move to Davinci i started to see on other channels creators are also starting to switch to DaVinci .I only dont like very poor or lets say limited transition selection .I will tell you movavi is better .I havent seen Final cut pro as this is only available on mac
Cheers
Fun fact: They are called "Film Bins" in a lot of programs because back when the old timers were editing the actual film, they would cut the shots out of the roll with a razor and hang them by the sprocket holes on hooks set up in a special rack. The shots could be very long... many feet of film... so rather than letting the film create a pile on the floor, the rack was built over a special bin that collected it. This whole arrangement was just called "a bin". Shots were organized into the bins and the bins could be rolled around and organized or pulled in as the editor needed. Editing back then was done on a desk sized contraption and the film was cut into pieces and taped back together with special tape that had sprocket holes. Sound was on a seperate roll running in sync, and it was basically magnetic tape with sprockets that was also cut and taped in sequence with the film. You could build multiple tracks of sound but you could never hear more than two of them together until it was mixed down with several machines all running the many reels of sound together in synch. Man what a pain it all was.
Wow! Great info. I came from a world of 2” magnetic audio tape (before digital was a thing) so I know quite a bit about splicing and taping to edit.
I always think of how all this happened before digital.
PS: The icon for cut is a razor here instead of the scissors we are used to :)
And before tape splicing of film with a machine, there was physical scraping off the emulsion with a razor blade, and using a 'welding' solution 'Film Cement' you would place the two layers of film together, usually using a sprocket hole alignment device, but often just by eye, and hold the two layers together until it set. If done properly these joins could last 100 years or more.
Love learning about esoteric industry methods!
Can we all please watch something like the Wizard of Oz again and appreciate what those people created.
I'm stoked you are teaching Davinci! I began using it a few months ago and still have so much to learn. Unfortunately, most tutorial videos on UA-cam are a bit confusing for me. Your method of teaching is easier to digest... you get to the point without overwhelming us noobs. ;)
Just play with it as you go. The best way is as you need to learn a new skill in the software, tackle it then. Been using it for a few years and I still do not know everything I could, and I did actual training with Blackmagic.
All fackz!!
First time watching this guy and I prefer MrAlexTech because he doesn't go in and out of showing his desktop
After watching so many videos, Daniel in my opinion is the best, the way he explains things is super easy to understand and easy to follow, He has a gift, thanks bud.
Much appreciated, Jose!
You can say that again. The guy is good 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
As a public educator with 16 years experience and someone, like most people today, who has learned a number of skills on youtube, I have to compliment you on your teaching. Amazing job sir!
Slow enough to follow, detailed without getting lost in things that can come later. You focused on the big picture, explained what each piece was along the way. I’ve watched 30-50 videos on everything from iMove, Final Cut express (15 years ago), to Luma Fusion and now DaVinci Resolve and you are the best teacher I have had the experience from learned from. Kudos to you for teaching so well.
Not only did I learn a ton, I felt confident in what I knew straight away. That confidence is due to your excellent teaching and guidance.
Job well done!
Hey thanks! I really appreciate that ☮️❤️
Daniel, don't worry about the experts. What is most important is HOW YOU TEACH, NOT HOW MUCH YOU KNOW. I have worked with experts in many areas but they are poor teachers, you get your message across clearly and most importantly you stay on the rails and stay on point, this is how people learn, thanks brotha!
Agree. Sometimes the best teacher is the person who knows just a little bit more than you do.
Daniel when you explain it, I feel like - I can do this. Your delivery is easy to follow and you explain enough so that we can talk ourselves through something while working with it. I like that you are giving just morsels of information about the many features (because yes explaining everything all at once get confusing). For us beginners this is awesome because these tips can help us edit a video and get some bearings in the program. We can try something else next time, but the more we use it, the more we can do down the line. Thanks, I can't wait to try again - I tried it and got overwhelmed so I am going to give it another shot.
Right on, Peachy! You can totally do this.
I also have a Resolve for beginners Shorts series that gives one simple tip a day. Check it out if once you start working with the software and let me know if this is helpful ---> ua-cam.com/play/PLsVDy3wGxbDA-pvAT1eH2_khEe0lDe90e.html&si=MXQbCJMpC57Be3Qx
I would truly like to thank Filmora for all they have done lately. Without their actions I would not have such an excellent teacher to teach me how to use Davinci Resolve. I really needed this. Thank you Daniel and thank you Filmora. 💕
I would also like to thank Filmora for all they have done for me, after using their software for years, i now use davinci and oops who uninstalled filmora from my laptop?!?
@@Snorie I downloaded Filmora but got turned off by their pricing. Way to rich for my blood. Davinci is Free For Life! I pay $5 per month for a library and that is ALL. I will be looking into getting the Premium Version though for sure.
Daniel you helped me master filmora, very soon am learning DaVinci now, you're a legend bro
Exactly why I came to the comments! I went to edit a video today and thought 'what's with my lifetime subscription!?' googled it and here we go! Thanks Daniel, I already had Davinci downloaded from years ago and couldn't figure it out so paid for filmora, now I think with your help I can master it. Thanks!
@@CreatorSpotlight254nice
I have to say..Ive been a photographer since 1984. I dabbled in video this year an was overwhelmed. Ive installed then un-installed this software at least a dozen times. Completely confused and frustrated. I watched your video, worked along side it and ive got to say..pretty damn impressed with my results. Thank you so much for doing this. Simple, neat and explained in a way even a caveman can understand. Kudos Brother, and thank you again.
My pleasure!
Wait till you get to play around in Fusion.
It’s intimidating but once you get it, the possibilities are endless
For all of you wondering where the toolbox is (if you can't find it when he shows it), just click on that Effects button once (that pencil with the stars thingy on the top left next to Media Pool). Btw, great video !!!
I scoured the whole internet and found it in a reddit thread from 3 years ago. If i had just looked at the comment 🤦♂
Thanks was wondering that myself.
@@MainCharacterDotX he is using davinci resolve 18 version
I was wondering and then decided to click on a few things. Hit that box and the Bob's your uncle happened.
Thanks. That was really throwing me...
Wow thanks Daniel! I'm using it for 3 years, and even though now I paid for the Studio, I can tell anyone here that the free version is more than enough to edit 4k videos for UA-cam.
One crucial matter for quality is the Mbps value on the delivery page. It has to be set generously, actually way over the value that people can see here and there advised.
Pro tip!
Also, the paid version enables GPU acceleration for encoding, rather than the CPU - as used in the free version.
@@beyondblender And 3 monitor support.
@@kriswingert1662 good to know, thanks!
Could you please provide a suggested numerical value? Or, a suggested method for figuring one out? Thanks!
Thank You for not moving so fast like other UA-camrs. You are a great teacher keep up the great work. We Noobs appreciate it!!!
You're very welcome! Yeah, it drives me crazy that a lot of Resolve tutorials want to move fast and flood us with information. It felt like there wasn't a lot of content that just broke down the basics.
You are the best teacher for beginners. Not overloading us with information. Just getting us comfortable and making the software seem so approachable. I think getting comfortable with a software is much more important then all the advance features. Once you are comfortable. Your curiousity takes over and you master the advance features so much faster .
Totally agree.
Well, with the second part, anyway. There are some great teachers out there like Casey Faris☮️
Thank you Daniel. As others have stated, your style and concise direction are NOT confusing and following along is far easier than other Teachers' videos on Davinci Resolve. I appreciate your time and knowledge to help us "Noobies" get a working useable handle on how this sophisticated software can be manipulated without having a degree in Rocket Science from MIT. I've only found a couple of you guys who instruct properly rather than impress totally. That's impressive to me. Rock On!
Hey thanks! I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad this was helpful
Wow! I love the way you teach! I looked at so many tutorials on how to use DaVinci Resolve and I always felt like most youtuber's way of teaching had me so confused lol. Teaching the foundation of editing is so important. Thanks man!
Happy to help!
Thanks Daniel, you are the absolutely the clearest Davinci teacher on UA-cam. You are engaging, funny, and you use all the video elements with closeups and texts to make your points. Thank you!
Thanks! Glad this was useful
Dude, I am already learning so much from you, I'm going to have to dig deep and go through your video library regarding these tutorials, they're AMAZING. I downloaded and tried Davinci once, but as stupid as it sounds, I had no idea how to crop a video so my browser was no longer in frame and it was just the YT video I was reacting to, and that kinda put me off Davinci until I ran across you and Casey's channel who also does a full 4.5 hour tutorial on Davinci. You two dudes are the dudest dudes that have ever duded, my dude. Nothing but love and respect my guy, I truly appreciate all the knowledge that you're sharing with us newbs!
Thank you Daniel, I've heard a lot of good things about DaVinci Resolve and had been looking at tutorials recently. I absolutely love your teaching style and appreciate you teaching us the basics, informing us where features we may be looking for are located, and not overwhelming us. Again, great video and thank you!
Happy to help!
Free version is faster than filmoras paid version
And doesn’t crash like Premiere
I've been thinking about switching from Filmora to Divinci Resolve. Daniel really helps with making that transition.
@@pennsylvaniaghostdiaries7552 I made the switch to Davinci when filmora tried to charge me for upgrades after I had purchased a lifetime license. My videos now look amazing.
True. Also, it doesn’t crash as Filmora. 😂
And better then after effects and premium pro like better than paid apps it's just god lvl editing software ngl
Laconic tutorial. That's what I need. I totaly hate when I got spammed by unnecessary information of each button. LIKE!
You are an excellent teacher for someone like me. I get so confused watching people talk in high tech languages that I cant understand. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I learned a lot!
My pleasure, Dustin. Glad this was helpful. ☮️
Should really be using "Folder" rather than "File" when you're talking about the Bins cos you're putting files IN there, like you do with a folder
15:29 Keyboard shortcut for that is BACKSPACE, DELETE will ripple cut, BACKSPACE will leave the other clips in place.
17:25 Most of the time I actually use "Smooth Cut", I think it's just a nicer look for a transition, I usually make it quite short too though.
19:29 The little diamonds to the left of the undo/reset are your keyframes, so if you're doing a gradual zoom change for example, you would set your first zoom level, click the keyframe ◇ then go to the end of the zoom, change the zoom level and click ◇ again, now you have a gradual zoom change, BEAR IN MIND, once the playback marker goes past your final keyframe, whatever value you changed (zoom, position, etc) will stay at your last keyframe level, You can do the same for the other changes, like rotation/position/etc
30:27 This is where you can get into using "proxies" which are basically a lower quality version of your clips just for playback during editing, it doesn't affect the overall export. (Daniel obviously covered that too 🤣 )
Yup.
See, what happens in every Resolve tutorial I watch is… well, that.
There seems to be need from the community to explain every road sign on the highway instead of just showing people which way to drive.
That’s what I was really trying to avoid in this video.
I’m hoping more people just start editing with the software and don’t get intimidated by all the bells and whistles.
@@Daniel_Batal It really is the best free video editor out there. I wish you could hide the functions that are not available in the free version rather than that massive popup though, it's quite annoying and baffling why they wouldn't do that. The files it exports are also MASSIVE, I usually end up using Shutter Encoder to get a smaller version
@@Daniel_Batal ... You are correct.
I am seeking to know the basics BEFORE anything else and want to use the K.I.S.S. method.
Searching YT, yours has been the best so far. I'm making basic fishing videos.
It takes so much time for YOU to make THIS video. It is appreciated. Thank you.
1. Where to start- what page or screen to be on.
2. How to bring in my media.
3. Enter it in the time line.
4. Edit/cut out the unneeded footage of each clip.
5. Put the clips in the order needed.
6. Transitions if wanted/needed.
7. Titles and exit credits if wanted.
Thanks again,
. Jeff .
Finally someone who understands what a beginner is. Thanks brother
👊😎☮️
Brilliant. You are a master teacher. I feel like I understood every word and can move forward quickly. Not everyone can explain things that well. Thanks for a straight up approach and perfect clarity. I have subscribed!
Haven’t used Resolve much, ever, and will begin soon. This was very well done and will cut down on my random learning struggles. Will definitely look at more of your stuff. Logical. Not excessively fast paced. You pause once in a while to let a thought sink in. That in itself is exceptional.
Glad it was helpful!
Daniel, thank you sooooo much. I'm completely new to video editing and this is a life & time saver. I only want to do pretty simple edits so right now this is everything I need to get much better results than I ever could have using iMovie which was my other option. You are so incredibly clear in your explanations and the pace is perfect. Awesome piece of content!
Happy to help!
I cant thank you enough man! Seriously, the way you just jump into the necessary information is just so dang helpful when starting out
Awesome! Glad this was helpful.
And hey, thanks so much for the $15 SuperThanks! I really appreciate it! ☮️
NICE!!! Being a good teacher isn't a universal trait. Some people have it. Some don't. You have it and I NEED IT! I want to get good at DaVinci Resolve and love your slow roll MO.
Thanks!
As a young adult who grew up gaming, I've learned somethings. The biggest lesson is that no matter how much I've learned and how gud I have got, I am still a Big Noob. This video is for my people and I!
Love to see you're doing content on my preferred editing software, shame how the whole filmora debacle happened, but at least many people found your channel!
Thanks! Much appreciated
So far, the free version has served me well. Davinci Resolve allows me to do all the basic stuff I need to breathe life into my videos. I'm not used to editing programs that have different pages. It was a minor adjustment, yet a welcomed one. I'm able to take several duplicate clips and make one compound clip which helps since my videos are an hour long (music playlist type stuff). It also helps me keep track of things because I get confused easily 😂
PS: tysm for showing us the "bin" feature. It's something I definitely need to stay organized and on track!
Daniel, thank you so much for doing these videos. I only make videos for family and friends. Just ordinary moment in time type videos but I had gotten so frustrated with trying to learn software and editing, I just gave up filming all together. I saw one of your videos about DaVinci resolve and decided to watch a few more and see if maybe I could learn something this time. Well, I have been learning. You explain it a way that is clear and understandable to me. Also you break it down into small sections that are not overwhelming or intimidating. I have begun filming again and even though I’m not where I want to be in my editing, I know that with the guidance you have provided and practice, I will be able to get there. So thank you again for helping to reignite the passion and enthusiasm that I had when I first began filming moments with family and friends. Much love brother and I wish you much success and happiness.
Wow, glad I found you. I regularly watch a ton of Resolve vids on YT and yours are great. I really like your pace (no need to listen to you at x1.25 or x1.5) and your choices of terminology/jargon. Makes it easy for me to understand Resolve processes, methods, and workflows. Can't wait to see more videos from you :)
Right on! There definitely are more on my channel. Hope they are equally as useful for you
You are great at explaining things!! Most UA-camrs just explain to much. You explain to the point. Just what starters need!
Thanks!
Crafty and simply explained. I was just watching how much editing and work you had to do to put this explanation video together for us like a wizard. Always interested in hearing what you have to say for this noob.✌️
A much longer video than I’m used to but that seemed to be what it needed
Good stuff! I’m building confidence quickly with the DaVinci Resolve for noobs. The shorts are great too. I watched keyframe video as well and now practicing. Looking forward to the next video.
So refreshing to hear someone teaching learners without including every little option on the way. I started watching the Resolve beginner instructor video, after 20 minutes I gave up, just too much information. You will be my main source from now on. Thank you 👏
Great to hear!
What a brilliant tutorial.... There are so many tutorials on UA-cam which jump straight into the advanced stuff way too early. Thanks for your logical approach. I've learned a lot.😃😃
Glad this was useful, Paul
Because of the major thing that happened with Filmora dissing their lifetime users, and your recommendation of Da Vinci, i set off on a NEW troubleshooting path and created my first video with Resolve yesterday. I have one more video to make today so this tutorial here will be an even greater impact for refining and doing things better. Wish i would have known about DaVinci before I paid 80 bucks for only a years use of "lifetime" Filmora. I'm pretty bitter about that even though they supposedly backtracked. I don't know what they did cause i never looked back. Anyhoo, luckily my videos are extremely simple and the free download is more than ample. Now i need to learn how to make a thumbnail. I think I saw yesterday one can make a thumbnail in Resolve which is cool, also Canva is a place to make one too i think. Glad i found you Daniel, peace.
This is hands down the best beginners tutorial I have seen! I’ve been working with DaVinci Resolve since October, fumbling my way around, and got down the basics I’ve needed. Wish I would’ve found this months ago. Very clear, with a helpful focus on a basic workflow.
Love hearing that. Thanks for the kind words and I'm pumped that this was helpful!
Thank you, Daniel. You kept your word - you didn't wander into the details, and that's what I needed.
Great job, Daniel. I've been using Resolve (free) for about a year and learning along the way. I keep a notebook of specific things I find out and effects I may want to use again. I recently was editing a client video and noticed the subject had a big pimple on her forehead. Then I discovered that Resolve has a sort of "clone stamp" feature and I was able to remove that blemish. (And the client will never know LOL) Can't wait to see more of what you discover.
You are the reason why I had been using Filmora for years... And now, I think I'm going to give DR a try.. And more likely, I would shift... Just make more tutorials and inspire us, specialy our upcoming content creators 🙂
I've been on DR a week and it's so frustrating. A screenshot on FILMORA is a simple click on the camera logo next to the time line vid, on DR I have to clear my calendar for 2 weeks.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV the Help menu rocks in DR. You're looking for freeze frame. In the help menu search field type in 'freeze' and DR will animate the control in the interface in a call out form. Probably the best help system in any software just uses a different terminology. DR is just as deep as Maya.
@Soaring Vision Images I can do both, I just wish DR was more efficient as I use screenshots a lot.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV one thing you could try is adding the folder your system saves screenshots to, to your favorites in the Media page. Use your preferred screen grab method for your system. In the Media page you can also navigate to this screenshots folder, right click "Add folder and subfolders to Media Pool (Create Bins)" and it will add this screenshot folder to your source files which you can access from Cut or Edit pages. You can then drag them onto the timeline without having to generate them within resolve.
@Soaring Vision Images good idea, if I can ever successfully complete an export I'll do it.
I make video content (not very well) for my tiny YT channel and I recently upgraded from making videos on my phone to making them on a new laptop but, I was using clipchamp. I had no idea how barebones and basic it is, which is fine, it helped me to at least learn to add transitions, add music, separate audio from video, add some colors, just basic stuff, but when I opened up DaVinci, it was so overwhelming seeing all the cool tools and effects that I could really eff up a piece of footage with lol. Thanks for sharing this man, it's gonna be VERY helpful.
Dude, awesome video and straight to the point. Many thanks!
A very good and simple explanation. Thank you, I have been using this platform and the truth is that sometimes I have felt overwhelmed with all the tools, that at first, I did not know where to start. But your explanation has been very clear and straight to the point. Thanks again for your efforts in bringing us these educational videos because most of us don't have the time to travel through all the features of a platform, and just want to jump right in with the basics to get to work. I keep sponsoring your channel keep up the good work.
We totally agree with you. Various UA-camrs are knowledgeable and want to make a flashy video. Every breather is cut away and you have to translate everything, understand and pause your computer in the meantime. You also have to follow the mouse. In that context, another tip for Daniel, our not a rockstar 😉, preferably use mouse pointer software. On request, we can send a website that can offer Tons of possibilities. In addition to the video of a similar tutorial video, on another channel, we will also strictly recommend this video. Great job Daniel, Cum Laude 👌🏻💯🏆
Agreed! :)
Thank you so much Daniel! Although I have tons of experience with Premiere Pro, I was stuck on the initial 'cut' screen for 10 minutes straight :D Your 7 page explanation put all pieces together and I started editing in no time. You are 101% correct about people trying to explain by going into so much detail that the viewer starts feeling lost. Teach a man to fish, he'll do the rest by himself!:)
Amen to that!
Great Tutorial! Thank you so much! Well done!
Master class thank you. Every sentence you speak is useful with no fluff.
I'm a complete editing noob, as your title suggests, but this was insanely easy to follow. Will binge the rest of your tutorials, looking forward to getting swamped in edits. Earned my sub!
Thanks! Welcome aboard
same, i am catching the hang of it and I am a noob as well. Pretty fun I won't lie
Same here yesss
Incredible tutorial. Focused on the overall structure, explained the most important bits, added useful pointers and arrows and aced through it with 0 seconds wasted.
Thanks! I try to keep it on point as much as possible
And great graphic choices. Thank you!
I have watched a lot of videos on this subject. I wish that I had found you sooner! You have helped me more in this one video than all of the others combined! Thanks so much!
Love hearing that! I'm the biggest Noob out there. We need to stick together 😁
The edit page is the most familiar coming from other software but don't sleep on the cut page. I finally started using it and it makes so much easier for me to sort video clips I want to use, put them in the right order and cut to the right length. Then I move to 'edit', well... to edit them, but jump back to 'cut' when I need to make some structural changes to the project.
It really IS useful.
I definitely think it’s useful.
The problem is that people who have never used the software get overwhelmed with the features and layouts.
I really wanted to make a simple video that was focused on someone who just wanted to learn how to get from import to export without feeling they needed a college degree to do so
@@Daniel_Batal Oh, I understand. That page was confusing for me after coming from other software.
I found the Cut page was useful but it was one of Daniel's video that made me aware of the Deliver and the choice box of "Entire Timeline" or "In/Out Clip" which was brilliant for working with Cut page to put a long continuous footage into much more manageable "on location" style short clips
This is easily the best UA-cam tutorial for any NLE I have ever seen. Bravo! I can’t tell you how much this helped me to refamiliarize myself with Resolve!
Hey thanks! Glad this was useful. Just dropped a new video on the color page an hour ago ---> ua-cam.com/video/SkosqJfzEs0/v-deo.htmlsi=y5HeJcgZuYPUq3nL
Yes, we needed this! Thanks Daniel 👍🏾
You have no idea how much this video helped me. Every other video I watched was so hard to follow. The creators assumed I knew enough to keep up. I didnt.
This video and your key frame video have changed the way I edit and work. I appreciate your work and understanding that some of us have no basic knowledge.
I cant wait to learn more from you with davinci and youtubenin general.
Glad I could help
One of the best tutorials I've seen. Plus, the energy you bring into the process is infectious!
Wow, thank you!
@@Daniel_Batal you deserve it man. Very few people focus on explaining the terms, concepts, and you do it beautifully.
As a fellow content creator that used/still using Filmora for the past 3 years. It's been really difficult trying to switch to different editing software that is as easy as Filmora. While the issues that Filmora have brought up recently made it quite unreliable. it really is one of the easiest UIs to understand. and so wanting to switch to a different software definitely proved it's challenges, I'm glad to find that you've been making tutorials for Davinci Resolve (a software I was introduced to months ago, but was a difficult switch as it seemed like a large learning curve)
Massive props to you, Daniel Batal. Hoping to learn more things from you in this new journey
Filmora definitely had a very smooth UI and learning curve. That's what drew a lot of people to using it.
Thank you so much. This video got me such a good start and helped me so much in learning the basics. Editing clips from streams is one of my favorites hobbies now. Thank you for this guide
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much!
This is the best tutorial about DaVinci Resolve for beginners.
And you are so right about the "show me the basics, I will figure out the rest myself".
Awesome. I promise there will be more detailed videos in the future but for now... just trying to keep it simple to help as many Creators as possible feel comfortable with Resolve 😎
Superb video. To the point and no faffing. Reminds me of learning Photoshop, looks daunting at first but with simple instruction it becomes easier. Mind you after 20 years of using it, still only know a small part! No point of getting bogged down with every minute functionality if you're never likely to use it.
I feel like I might just need to try DaVinci Resolve out for some of my old video footage. Have a play around and see what I come up with. Small simple steps always lead to bigger and greater things.
I’m a fan of knowing what you need to know and not cluttering your brain with what you don’t.
I'm editing my first youtube video as we speak, and this has been SO HELPFUL for cutting them down! Thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much for the simplicity. Videos like like this help encourage folks like me to get started and not lose interest.
Great to hear!
Extremely helpful mate, thanks alot for this
Amazing video. Really liked it. Optimized media was great for resolve 16,17, but for Resolve 18 blackmagic has created proxy generator, and it's an amazing tool that comes with resolve (both free and paid version) and has the simplest workflow. You can just select the folder where you've your high res footages and then the proxy generator will create proxies, and in resolve you can switch between the originals and proxies while editing and grading and the workflow is super seamless and anytime you add new footages to the selected folder, it will automatically create new proxies. Amazing video regardless.
The only problem with this tool is the limited codec support, at least on Windows. If your computer already struggles with h264 it won't help much. The exact same proxy generation is also available within Resolve, and has a lot more options for proxy formats that are much more helpful to those with underpowered PCs.
@@Dmitriy.0 The free version is limited, the paid version has a lot more codec support I think.
The reason I trust DR to remain free and lifetime to remain lifetime is it isn't how Blackmagic makes money. They sell crazy expensive professional cameras and boards for Hollywood-level film and editing. We get to use DR so if we get to wanting crazy expensive products, we'll maybe buy theirs. I like knowing how a company makes money. Fantastic video, Daniel! ☺️ Yes, I'm gonna say it: you're a rock star! 😁
I kind of agree. The software supports their hardware
I am switching from Premier and I stumbled across your video. I am 10 minutes in and I can’t believe how easy you are making this. I can’t wait to see what other videos you have. Your method of teaching is exactly what most users want…just show us how to make a video and don’t go over all the fluff along the way. This is great!
Thanks for this excellent tutorial. I am just starting with screen recording and editing and this is the most helpful video i have found. I just want to start with the basics and build from there. The pace is clear and not garbled.
Glad this was helpful!
Thank you Daniel for recommending this software. I should have been aware of it a long time ago so I didn't have to spend money on Adobe subscription. The UI can be a little bit tough to get used to at first but so far, my recent shorts were made with Davinci and the export was a great result. BTW, are you going to do small tutorial videos of how to edit a certain thing (like masking, green screen, audio effects) like you did with Filmora?
Fair warning: This channel will never be a “DaVinci Resolve” channel.
This is the orientation I was looking for. You have a keen understanding of the pace that noobs need on a proper learning gradient. Have you ever considered serving as a substitute HS teacher or adjunct college instructor? You would be as awesome in that context just as you are in this one. This one may pay better, but young students need you and it’s a form of service to the community. Have you ever done a TedTalk? That too might broaden your reach to a new audience. Love you!
Nope aaaaand nope 😜
@@Daniel_Batal 😁 Fair enough. I was also considering the problem of the “all eggs in one basket” thing, but that’s unfair of me because I haven’t a clue where your eggs are. But your varied talents can be translated into many baskets and that’s a luxury.
Very good teaching,smart and clear,straight on point....smashing.
Mr. Batal this video is one of the best videos I have seen. I like your set up and your theme on how to make videos. Again thank you for making this video, I will be looking at all your videos.
Thank you! This would have been very useful for me if this video released a little earlier, but better late than never! LOVED IT! and helpful~
Had to learn before I could pass on anything ❤️
Let's goooooo!!! Soo happy to see you getting into Resolve. Please make more resolve content in future. ❤️.
Thx Dan. Very well executed video, simple and to the point. I've never edited a video in my life but I feel a lot better and more confident things will be ok thx to You. All the Best moving Forward.
Thank you so much for this video. I was getting overwhelmed by all of the features and you broke it down simply and its so helpful. 😊
Glad it helped!
Nice video, simple and to the point.Only thing I would do differently is your Text resize and position. Don't use the settings tab, this can lead to the text degrading (if zoomed too far) and random clipping of the text. Use the "Size" control on the "Text" tab to zoom, and then go to the "Layout" tab and use the Center X &Y to position. This will stop the issue mention. Otherwise, great work! Keep it up and welcome to the Davinci Resolve mad house!
Pro tip! What’s the pixelation ratio for each?
@@Daniel_Batal Don't know the techy stuff, do know that the "Size" control on the Text tab works as though the text is a vector so smoothy resizes, where as the "Settings" zoom control is effectively zooming on a rasterised image, hence the degradation at higher zooms
Mind blown. So this is why text always looks bad in my projects! I knew it was something I was doing wrong, but could never articulate it enough to ask. Thanks!
Hey Daniel, thank you so much for putting this video together and making the beginner steps so easy for me to learn DaVinci Resolve. I've imported my clips and been working on them, however, I have some overexposed elements in the centre of the video screen where the main studio lighting was too powerful/bright and my singer was wearing white and is overexposed. Everybody else on stage is fine. Colour is good. It's just my main subject is overexposed and I'm thinking it's because of the poor gamma latitude on the sensor that is used in my 7D Mark II. I've tried to pull the levels down using the 'highlights' features you showed here but to no avail. Are there any other settings I can use to reduce the overall brightness besides the 'offset' master? And does da Vinci resolve have a 'sharpen' option? Does 'superscale' have anything to do with sharpening video? First time use are here and would really love your input. I can use the rest of your videos to help me sort the rest out. Cheers.
Super scale will upscale your video file and it improve sharpeners but it also adds a lot of information because you’re raising the pixel count (resolution).
For overexposed footage, I’d get familiar with the Curves feature.
If it’s just one person in frame who is mostly overexposed, you could add a serial node with a area mask and invert it as to affect not the area in question
Definitely enjoyed this video I appreciate the breakdown
The best video editing tutorial I’ve seen ever a lot of UA-camrs when they are actually teaching you they act like you should already know a lot of the basics and this was definitely the best one I watched. Thank you so much.
I noticed that too.
I tried to keep it simple.
Extremely well explained. Thanks
Very clear and well paced tuition. Thanks!
Maaaaan I'm saving this video!! So simple, appreciate you! Been trying to get better acclimated with Davinci Resolve and soaking up as much info as I can.
Super appreciate that! Glad this was helpful
I cannot begin to tell you how long my search has been to find a well-done beginners tutorial on Davinci. I struggle with comprehension and it takes me awhile to get things right away when learning. I finally feel like it's possible for me to create film with more ease and understanding. Thank you so much Daniel.
Glad I could help!
super clear ! Thanks!
This dude is the best teacher. Simple, straight forward and keeps you from getting bogged down.
Which dude…?
Why are we talking about me in the third person 😜
Great teaching sir! Love your approach! Leave the minutiae to the individual
Can't thank you enough for sharing this DaVinci lesson for NOOBS. I was asked to shoot a school play in the spring and I'm not a videographer, at all. I'll probably watch this 10 times before the play.
Glad this was useful!
Hey Daniel 👋
Just wanted to let you know that I watched the long form video via this short. So you know its working. Keep them coming 😊
👊😎☮️
Wow. Thank you. This is exactly what I want as a beginner learning DaVinci Resolve. I already switched from Premiere to this. I only do simple video editing. Your tutorial di help. Kudos!
This has to be the most straight forward video I've ever seen on DaVinci! So much so that a friend of mine just got into editing and I instantly sent him your way. CHEERS!!
Much appreciated!
I must add that I really like the fact that you just show us what we need to 'get going as a Noob.
Thats all we want to do at the start - just create a basic video. We can learn about all the other options and button later.
This was great! Thank you.
Awesome simple overview!!. After watching this anyone can get started and not get confused with all the more intricate peices of DR!
Excellent video, very informative.
Dude. Well done. Long time Premier user about to try Resolve. This video was all killer no filler.
AMAZING tutorial. THANK YOU, Daniel!!!
Simplification is appreciated, and the substance and style of the instruction are both on point. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
This really helped, I’ve been looking at different parts from different people, but this kind of pulled a lot of stuff together that I should’ve started with in the first place. Good job
I’m really glad this was helpful!
Daniel, this is the best noob-friendly tutorial I've watched. Great delivery, terminology and explanations.....very systematic and logical walkthrough that gives just enough info so I can learn on my own. Many thanks!
Agree! I've been using the software for years and still learned so much from Daniel in this vid!
