  • After 7 years of using Premiere Pro, I finally caved into my CZcams comments and gave Davinci Resolve a try. Now that I've fully switched over, I wanted to share what I've learned from that process to hopefully help you make the switch as smooth as possible.

    *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.

    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! 👌🏻

    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
      @ZachMayfield  Před rokem +2

      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!

  • @Untold-Narratives-Media
    @Untold-Narratives-Media Před měsícem

    I really love the way you teach and explain core concepts. i've been editing for a while and wanted to switch, but you not only explaining a tool/workflow but also giving examples for their utility really helped me understand and "get it".
    Great work, in another life you would've been a teacher for sure!

  • @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.

  • @hospobimbo
    @hospobimbo Před měsícem

    Easily one of the greatest CZcams 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.

    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.

  • @dianneandsuroy

  • @user-dg3lx3ym4d

    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

    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.

    Best thing I ever did. I've used Premiere over 8 years but I was finally fed up with all the BS so I decided to give it a try. It asks you what program you used before so it setups timeline similar to program that you used. Give it a day or two and you will never go back, just like that first iPhone you got instead the android. You never look back!

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.

    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 …
