VIDEO CORRECTION: Smart Reframe is in DaVinci Resolve 17 and it is excellent at resizing source materials to different aspect ratios. In particular it allows you define an area of the image to track and keep centralized. Also, the reframe function works by creating keyframes for the position transform meaning you can edit the movements later. Quite powerful!

Already moved to resolve 17 from premiere, and cant be more satisfied. And got the speed editor for free with r17 studio purchase.
Just did the same. I’m diggin it! I had no idea about the hot keys. Resolve is different but surprisingly easy to jump into.
@@craigbeilby 3 months ago i did this comment, now i am even more happy with resolve, there is a world wide training this summer from blackmagic design on all aspects of resolve (certified training) and totally free, for the people who would like to become davinci resolve certified.
@@BayanChacra I’d love more information on thisz
@@cooperhime grab a seat :)
dvresolve.com/news/blackmagic-design-announces-summer-2021-davinci-resolve-online-training-schedule/
@Gurdeep Makha yes it is over and I got my certificate (passed the test). Your best option now is to go the blackmagic design website, to the training section, and you download the 500 pages pdf file, with the 13gb media files FOR FREE and you follow step by step, Once you finish all the lessons in the book, and make sure to work with them, you can take the certification test as well. (85% to pass)
Else, head to one of their certified trainers, like rippletraining.com, but the courses their are not free.
Or stay on youtube and watch some videos, the only thing here, stuff are not organized, kinda messy, if you want to just learn, it is fine, if you want to apply for the test, i do not recommend youtube.
Best of luck!
Davinci is like blender,a platform that grows so fast it beats all it's competitors and will surpass them even more in the future
This was exactly what I needed. I've been wanting to leave adobe so this is awesome and worth the $300 bucks.
Awesome. So glad it helped. Welcome to the world of Resolve.
I checked this channel and the FEP course lately and I want to tell you guys you have a very different technique at saying the information. You guys really hit me through the chest, you have a very unique knowledge different than all the others in youtube. I've seem the secret of creative editing and after this I just wanted to enroll through all the courses you guys make.
Much love ❤ from Egypt 💪💪
Yay! Thanks for taking a look at DaVinci. I also enjoyed watching you use your professional workflow to cut the scene! Great job for putting this together.
I've watched lots of videos about switching to resolve, most of them made me dizzy. Now I'm convinced. Thanks for breaking things down so simply. Liked and subscribed.
wow you made it look so easy and interesting .... love your short tutorial and can't wait for the full course!
coming from FCPX this really feels overwhelming because I loved the simple design but I see the advantage of switching so I wanna learn and your video finally explains something more understandable!
I have DaVinci 16 and pre-ordered DR17. I LOVE Davinci Resolve. the best editing software ever.
A very honest and on point case for DaVinci Resolve.
Best soft soft tutorial for beginners on CZcams! I'm an absolute beginner and all the other tutorials I've found on CZcams have been so
just finished making my first track! thanks bro for all the help with learning soft soft. much love
i have no idea why, but hearing your voice just makes feel soothed.
I went from final cut 7 to resolve. I just started using the speed editor too. So good.
8:15 This becomes even easier with multicam clips. Simply let resolve sync all clips of a scene based on timecode and waveform and switch between them with your numpad. Color grading isn't as straight-forward anymore with this but it's manageable and makes the timeline a lot cleaner with only one clip for all cameras and recorders you had shooting at the same time.
You came up in my recommendations on CZcams, working on my first feature, nearly everything will be done in Resolve. I will be directing, cameraman, editing, VFX, sound design, colour work and delivering as DCP for festivals and a couple of test screenings at a local independent cinema. Blender is going to be used for some of the vfx into Fusion for compositing. I am in two minds on using fairlight for the audio and music side. I have Nuendo so will use that. This is a totally No budget movie, all the equipment is owned by the crew. It is a passion project, we have no delusions of getting it out as a money maker. But I am determined to make it the best that we can. So I am really pleased to have stumbled onto another channel that will have a positive affect on our journey.
Your knowledge is amazing, I hope there will be more videos sharing about davinci, for example advanced font keys.
i am so glad that CZcams suggested this channel to me. I am blessed now. Thanks 🙏
Wow that was a great video I’ve been really considering switching from FCPX & Adobe Premier. I have Davinci just haven’t used it yet. I need to look at more of your videos.
It made me switch”all in one”The price is right and the color correction is the best.Love the UI and the nodes in fusion(it makes so much more sense,to me)
This works. Recommended to try this out. Thanks a lot for your help
Oh YES!!!
More Davinci Resolve stuff with your amazing style! Love you videos sir thank you.
You're welcome! We're building a full DaVinci training course as well!
There is no better editting software out there. No question! Thank you for this video.
aah, i just got into making soft rn and tNice tutorials is so helpful and your voice is so sootNice tutorialng btw! thanks for tNice tutorials tutorial
this video was so much informative! beautifully wrapped up. thank you!
Using it since 2015 to edit features- shorts - music videos - Nonfiction as well as fiction. I love it. The Free version is all I need.
The free version is definitely an amazing amount of power and value.
I've done all of my learning in DaVinci Resolve and continue to do so (that is until you release tutorials for Avid, I will add that to my toolset). And DaVinci has been easy enough for me to make me forget about software and technicalities just faded away so I could focus on the editing itself and pay more attention to your great content and editing tutorials.
Hey Ravikant! 😀👋
@@FilmEditingPro Hi! Great video. Superb job as always!
my entire workflow is Resolve...from camera to software and the speed editor in the middle...perfect...all my videos on my channel are from that workflow...i m still learning but its so cool...love it..totally....
Wow!!! Your tutorial was terrific!!! Thank you!
From the bery first touch with DR I Fell in love woth its Power of beauty.
I love it!
You simply awesome and great to explain all things about davinci. I'm a fan of davinci.
honestly i watched 100 DVR Videos, yours was the smoothest and most practical! Thank you!
Thank you so much and you’re very welcome! 👍🎞🎬😁
This is great 👍 Would like to see more of this straightforward style.
I’m coming from basic LumaFusion editing on the go, but want to do more.
I was trying to edit in LumaFusion, but it is lacking in so many places compared to DaVinci Resolve.
Simple things like adding text in LF could be frustrating. Click this element, no this one; UGG THIS ONE!! After learning to set up some templates, this got better, but just painful on the iPad 2020 Pro Max.
I bought a Bluetooth keyboard specifically for using LF shortcuts. This was still tedious.
So far, this is personal gripes. Now a huge issue for me was multi-cam support and lining thing up. I heard LF was adding something for this, DR already has it built in. Align by waveform, and two clips sync up in seconds. And selecting which camera is easy after making a multi-cam timeline.
Exporting h.265 is now in the DR free version. Uploading to CZcams is faster because the rendered files are smaller.
I like LF for quick edits that are going to stay on my iPad or iPhone. For everything else, DR is the better option.
Yes! Simply awesome package with a great pricing/licensing structure.
One word, Just awesome Dude !! Your way of explanation is more sensible and understandable...You could some how figure out our thinking and preferences...Waiting for a full length tutorial for Davinci Free Version. Cheers !!
Thanks so much! We’re going to be releasing a full DaVinci Resolve training course within the next month :)
I tried switching to resolve multiple times but the Adobe ecosystem pulls me back everytime 😂😂😂. In my opinion resolve is an amazing tool and deserves more appreciation 👍
Agreed. I really really tried moving to davinci for basic editing but Adobe is just more refined and easier to use. For color correction tho DaVinci is obviously the best
Your lesson helped a lot, after that i wrote my first lody. Thank you very much.
great review, i do a lot of work on other adobe programs too especially after effects, the only thing making me thinking to switch is adobe premiere bugs and slowness especially with huge projects and i'm not sure about davinci resolve as i read lots of mixed reviews on it.
Thanks for this. Just getting started it’s a bit overwhelming what tool to invest energies into. I’ve been leaning to FCP but this demo is causing me to second guess.
I finally just bought into the studio version and it's 100% worth the $300 for the extra features. Especially the native video decoding and encoding.
So simple and detailed video, it's now going to help to start working wid softsoft!!
This is so great. Thanks for walking through this stuff.
Thankyou for actually explaining tNice tutorialngs. Other videos that I watched started talking about how to make soft and didn't ntion anytNice tutorialng
Awesome! Another editing platform to learn then I’ll have 3 of them under my belt.
Really great video like always!
The cut page is only magnetic in the bottom. If you drag n drop in the “bars” on top you can do anything. Same with fcpx. You can turn off the magnetic function and freely move clips around. Also the tracking in resolve/fusion is bar none the best I have ever used (sans ‘synth eyes, which is pretty deep)
Bar none the best? what does that mean? That tracking is shit or good?
Man please teach us the creative edit. Your "2 min" preview edit was better than my 12 hrs version
Frrrrr tNice tutorials man just straight forward !
I n the last 25 years I used pretty much any NLE out there . I switched to Resolve as my only NLE since version 12, and never looked back. For me it's the best editor so far.
Worked , thanks a lot!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful and detailed videos! On to the soft!
You are so welcome!
To answer your question in the title: Absolutely
Very nice. I'm using FCPX on a Mac, but I've got a spare Linux machine with some NVidia GPUs so I'll give Resolve a try.
I liked the clear explanation and walk through. Very useful.
Thanks, John! Good to have you with us here.
Are you able to advise about Pinnacle Studio as compared to other software that you have reviewed please?
I love your tutorials
This was really informative. Thank You. Might be an easier transition from FCPX I hope.
The CUT especialy with the speed editor it's the best thing that could happen to me. When you learn a few keys, the work is quick, intuitive, and accurate, I mean cutting scenes - forget about working with a mouse, it's the Middle Ages :)
This video is actually useful for everyone. Avid and resolve are the best
Keyword feature is available in Resolve and you can make smart bins out of it.
your videos are sooo great i love it
Thank you so much!
Thank you for a great helpful video. I have downloaded DaVinci Resolve and loved it but the program keeps shutting down on me, I am using windows 10 laptop with an added 16 ram. I need to get this sorted can you help PlEASE.
Nice tutorial ... I've got a problem ... when I first used soft soft , there were so tutorial such as Slayer , wNice tutorialch disappeared after I
I ca back to soft after about 10 years when I was using soft soft 10 and for its best program Ive seen in fact its also simpliest one
I'm using the trial version of soft to learn the basics. How do I make a cool keyboard lody that isn't just a basic softing soft?
Recently gave Resolve editing a shot on some decent sized projects. It's so great in so many ways. I don't like all the mousing around. It's fast technically but doesn't particularly "feel" accurate like trimming in Avid is so making fine adjustments ends up overall slower. But, for constructing quick assemblies especially per scene getting them close enough and porting them over into Avid for offlining is actually very easy and considerably faster for once in a lifetime. It has almost everything good going for it.
Things I miss.
- A solid trim mode. Avid's is just hands down the best. Premiere's dynamic trim is okay, Resolve's is actually terrible (super clunky unless you like precise mousing). The biggest thing is it doesn't release trim mode like you can in Avid by clicking on the TC track. That for me is a huge time saver while refining an edit.
- Keyboard functionality without dozens of modifier combinations. Alt, ctrl and shift are all you really should need for cutting.
- Snapping via one button hold. Hate that you have to toggle it.
- True track based edit manipulation. Resolve is quasi track based even in edit mode.
- Roughly managing audio levels is much faster in Avid mixer largely because you can apply per track and in/out and not have to copy paste things.
- Extend edit that isn't schizophrenic.
- Speed and retime manipulation are so much easier in Avid. Hell it's easier in After Effects. However, Resolve's optical flow and stabilization are much much better.
- Forced rendering that doesn't create a mixdown that needs to be swapped back to the OG before adjusting. Sure, Avid creates mini mixdowns for renders just as Premiere does but adjusting them in Resolve after forcing it to render sucks and creates a mess. It's auto render is nice but when I'm focusing on a certain area tweaking timings, it's a chore to wait the several seconds for Resolve to start to background render what I actually want. I could go somewhere else in the timeline and do things while I wait but No. That's silly. My brain is focused on the thing I am doing. Waiting for any of the options to keep up is phoooosh.. trying at times. Wouldn't want a client in the room explaining to them about magic computer ghosts while it's rendering something I don't actually care about instead of what I do want done first. Seems okay for a grading session but not for cutting as fast as the brains in the room are moving.
Going back to Resolve for polish and grading is how it's always been but it's really a very very useful tool to help minimize the tedious work before the edit and spend more time actually shaping the feels. For example. Syncing external audio in Resolve is _worlds_ faster and less tedious. Doing a nice one light LUT before busting out proxies makes it so there is no processing at all for offline color in Avid while cutting. Smooth like butter.
Long story short: I have started beginning my projects in Resolve, Proxying out the footage, slapping scenes together with all the shots I think I will want -- face find is truly a treat, popping over those timelines and actually cutting in Avid, get approval and off to ProTools for sounds, back to Resolve as it has been for a long time now for final tweaks, grading and polish. I have yet to deliver to broadcast or any streaming service out of Resolve. Other guys do that so I'm not sure if it's better or not.
Can't believe I didn't know about how easy round tripping to Avid and back is years ago or I'd have been doing it all this time. I've met tons of editors and no one has ever suggested this. Really great stuff.
I was always fascinated by trap soft, been listening to trap long ti and i finally decided that i will try to make my own but i was so
If this course is as good on your Premier Pro quick start, I'm in. I'm half way thought the Pr course and i'm already putting it to good use. I've been thinking of adding DaVinci to my arsenal for a while. You have finally convinced me to jump in. Thnaks again for this and all you other amazing courses.
It’s always great to have you with us, James! 👍🎬
One additional con for AVID users is that when you bring a sequence (via AAF) with 3D Picture in Picture elements in it to Resolve, the effect isn't recognized and you're left with the top-most video layer of the composition. Otherwise, DaVinci is really good at translating Timewarps and Resizes.
That is a huge con. Basically Avid has no logic with using multylayerd effects upon nested ones. It is just jarring how Avid just does whatever it wants at some point and that trying to make an effect as you want it can be sometimes complicated. In DR you have to find work arounds too, but at least they work on a logical base.
It is hard to explain and I could give you any real detail, but avid just gets wonky at some point using many pic in pic overlays-
Yes yes yes. Resolve eats up timewarps which are much quicker to do in Avid. Dozens of less clicks and fussing with the lack of ability to freeze within a Resolve retime. When I first learned there is no real zero in a retime, you have to cut and use a freeze frame then go back to the retiming in another cut. Very frustrating to do. In Avid, you curve to zero, hold it as long as you want and curve back up. Resolve's retiming should be like that. But, coming from Avid's retime from an AAF and using Resolve's optical flow is eons better quality so best of both worlds if you edit primarily in Avid. Optical flow is slow but you've already timed everything out so no guesswork, just render time.
Anyone know if Davinci will allow two-pass for Windows soon? Really want to make the switch but really would like this to be added after the Beta
I really love Davinci training program, its free and well organised.
How co when you clicked in your gms soft the notes were so short and when I play mine they roll over each other?
What did you use for all the animations in this video? Fusion or After Affects?
I use cut page to set all the scenes rough then. Go on edit to make it perfect
I'm sticking to grading only. I had to use DaVinci as my sole editor for almost two years and am glad to say I'm finally back in FCPX. I just can't get used to DaVinci. Editing with it feels way too slow for me, and I've had the studio version since Christmas 2019. As soon as covid hit, it became my only option for editing. I was not pleased. You'd think after two years I'd just be used to it now, but I'm not. It took me a week in FCPX to remember everything I liked about it. The timeline is the worst offender for me. I just hate Resolve's timeline. Colour grading is amazing, and that's literally all I use it for now. I grade and export, that's it. Everything else is handled in Final Cut.
a little tip cuz ive been using davinci fo quiet a while now you should spent more time in the fusion and color tab than the editing cuz inspecter and effects sre great but you can make it more alive with 3d motion graphic design and more so spend like 3 hours in editing and then hop in the the rest for most of the remaining time if you need to make a few patches here and there in the editing tab do that but dont spend all your time there
Myanmar dia Light Nice tutorial, wNice tutorialch soft soft did you buy? I’ve been wanting to buy one for a wNice tutorialle as well
Wow 👏 Thank you for uploading!! Thank you for your Efforts!
Glad you enjoyed!
@@FilmEditingPro It's been difficult to edit. But you inspire me^_______^
How bout the preview video while editing, sir? Like on Hitfilm, I experience lagging on the preview video, currently using Videopad.
Why not make Tutorial for Resolve?
Yes, it has been a good working program for me since 2016
What do I do when the channel rack becos too cluttered? If I can, how do I clear it?
Awesome 👏 subscribed
I lost the audio waveforms. I can hear the sound and i can see the wavforms on some of my go pro clips but on more than half it never generated. This makes it impossible to use resolve and i wish i could because it is free.
BTW Davinci Resolve has a Keyword system: 6:59 - you can clearly see it on the right side in the metadata panel. Just type keywords to appropriate cell and smart bins will be created automatically.
Yes it has, but its so much limited... First there is no quick keyboard short cut to bring the keyword window and second, and most importantly, you can't assign keywords to multiples selections inside a single clip.. As I said in a previous comment, this is absolutely killer feature to have when editing documentary work, where very long takes are common..When you have a 15 min clip containing a lot of scenes or situations going from a two shot of a conversation to close up cut aways etc.... (cameraman did not cut to keep sound rolling or avoid missing a spontaneous event) ... it's just amazing. Also, if you keyword say a 5 seconds selection of a longer clip, when clicking on the keyword "bin", your 5 seconds selection will appear as a new, 5 sec clip, a bit like when you create a sub clip in Resolve, except you STILL can extend it or reduce it, by moving it's IN and OUT points.
I'm pretty new to NLE and Resolve. The free version is full-featured but seemed slow to process compared to Cyberlink PowerDirector, for instance. Upgrading to Studio and using the nVidia processor gave an amazing increase in processing speed. Now I have to learn to use more of the Resolve editing features. Thanks for your excellent review.
DaVinci works well on my Mac at home, but I've twice had the experience of trying to help friends install it on their Macs, only to find that the keyboard shortcuts wouldn't work because they didn't have the large Mac keyboard with the extra number pads on the right, only the smaller compact one. I would assign commands to certain keys through the keyboard command editor, and DaVinci would simply ignore them, even after quitting the software and rebooting everything. What's up with that, Resolve??
Nice video guys i love it !
I've wanted to make the switch from premiere pro but Resolve has been very unstable. Either it crashes or I run into some sort of bug every session.
Very good, comprehensive
That's so cool!
having tNice tutorials tutorial playing when first using soft soft was a godsend. Thank you!!
Started with Davinci Resolve 4 years ago and never tried the others. Feel I don't need to. Davinci Resolve is more than enough to me. All that time I am working with the free version and just purchased the Studio one two month ago after the introduciton of version 17. Now I have the optimum package.
Your experience sounds exactly like mine.
I’m in the middle stages of using the free version. Edited some videos. They have helped me get into the world of CZcams. They will have my money. No doubt. I would have never paid for Premiere. Cloud and annual subscription compared to this is a no brainer.
DaVinci is awesome. It runs smooth on low end computers and it’s completely free. Everything you need is in one program which I believe is less resource intensive. Set your timeline resolution to half and you’re good to go. No more monthly subscription fees. Love it.
We love it too!
I'm using Davinci Resolve Studio for 1 month and it's just a killer of Premiere Pro! Now waiting for your course about editing in Avid and my toolset is completed 😁
Avid and DaVinci courses are both on the way!
@@FilmEditingPro u guys need to bring it out sooner
@@FilmEditingPro Great info 🔥
I want to make Lo-Fi soft and today i started to soft soft tutorials. I see that you are teacNice tutorialng us very carefully and simple, i like that
After 14 years of editing in Final Cut. I finally switched over to DaVinci Resolve with the release DR 17 beta. Priceless, I purchased DR 15 studio a couple of years ago. But just played around with it here and there. But now, I'm sold.
What made you to switch?
Well Tom, where do I start🤣. Davinci Resolve has everything that I need for my style of editing. The three things that were holding me back were. Not having the Magnetic Timeline that I love in Fcpx. Second not be able to use my 3rd party plugins. I truly believe those two things are keeping a lot of Final Cut users from switching. Once I started using Resolve, more, and more. I found myself not missing the magnetic timeline as much. I can still shoot my project over to Fcpx if I really need one of my 3rd party plugins. The third and last thing that held me back was. I really did not want to take the time to learn it. But I'm so glad I took some personal time & learned everything about Resolve that would fit my workflow. Plus, I can still use my Motion 5 projects in Davinci Resolve as well. Hey Tom, which editing software are you currently using?
@@Mixxwizard Thx for so long answer. Currently Premiere, but I'm planning to switch to a mac. Then FCPX or Davinci. Premiere is sooo bugged....
What do you mean, you can use motion 5 projects in davinci? :)
If you create a project in Motion. Then you can render it out as Alpha/Transparent format. Then you can use that rendered file in your Resolve, Premiere or Fcpx project. The only thing is in Fcpx. You can edit your changes back & forward with Motion & Fcpx.
I'm still learning Fusion, for now. So I'm still using Apple's Motion to create my visual effects.
Great Video, have been using DaVinci Resolve 17 studio now for a couple months now coming form Power Director and Filmora, really love DaVinci and want to learn more. I had tried Pr and Final cut but don't like having to pay a monthly fee to use So DaVinci and their speed editor has been great. Looking forward to Film Editing Pro videos.... Dave...
DaVinci is pretty great particularly considering the cost (or lack thereof)
@@FilmEditingPro Just watched your free film editing intro, will defiantly have to watch all. Just like this video how you moved cuts from the top timeline down... Didn't know you could do that.. Thanks, Dave...
Hi I use this but how do you get the audio to be smooth and not broken waves?
you are so helfull man god bless you love from india
How can I buy the course? on your guys' website I don't see any "buy" option, are they all free? or how does it work?
this video really make me switch from Adobe Premiere Pro to DaVinci Resolve. Hands down
