    Shortcuts Mentioned
    S - Split Clip
    D - Delete Selected
    W - End to Playhead
    Q - Start to Playhead
    3 - Swap Clips Towards Left
    4 - Swap Clips Towards Right
    A - Select Clips Forward on All Tracks
    1 - Zoom In
    2 - Zoom Out
    Personal Note
    I find the key A to be useful when switching from Trim Edit to Normal Edit mode so I assigned Select Clips Forward on All Tracks to the key E instead.

  • @itsathingimagery
    @itsathingimagery Před 10 měsíci +11

    I’ve been using Resolve for a year now and still learned a bunch from these tips! One thing to do about the smart rendering too would be to set your cache location (or at least know where it is) so your computer doesn’t start hoarding the media. If it’s on your computer, check your storage every few months, and if it seems jacked up for no reason, it’s probably the cache growing to unprecedented sizes 😅

    Give Group Grades a try too! You can group scenes or cameras however you like, and do colour transforms after clip adjustments and noise reduction before. So you can tie the look of a scene to the group while allowing you do clip level adjustments before the look and transform luts are applied, maintaining access to all of your colour information.

  • @TRAHEDRON3

    Hey Guys, This video has been by far the single most useful knowledge for a beginner. I have only recently started editing and I've only used Davince Resolve for around 40-50 hours now. In that time I have had to ask a lot of questions that I don't even know how to phrase because I don't know editing terms for them. This video has so greatly explained these concepts and really useful hotkey binds. Just by implementing the hotkeys into my work flow, it's just so well expedited my production. Thank you very much!

Got me up to speed in no time after having gone around watching all kinds of random YT videos. He has everything playlisted for convenience.

  • @christiantheimprovguy1769

    This video made me switch. I don't know why it pushed me over the edge, but I'm so glad I did. Apple updated their video codex a few updates ago, and I had been having a hell of a time getting Adobe Premier Pro to recognize my footage any time I tried to inport a MOV file. My work arounds had got so convoluted. I hadn't considered just leaving Adobe. But hearing your experience was all the encouragement I needed. And can I just say, DaVinci Resolve is soooooooo much better! My goodness, how did I not make this switch before?! It's so much easier and more powerful. My workflow it so much faster. Anyway, thank you Kirk for posing about DaVinci Resolve. You changed my life for the better in such a major way. Thank you. I hope you keep doing it.

    Love this super wide aspect ratio with the anemorphic lenses! Which lens are you using for this? Also, don't know about you guys but I have to be careful to clean out my prerender caches often, because Davinci wasn't auto deleting the caches after I'd finish and close the project, and ate my hard drive space like it was breakfast. Any tips would be great. I'm sure you can move it to a seperate drive with more space but I'd rather keep my caches fast on my NvMe drive.

    Need a lot more Kirk tutorials these were incredibly helpful and it's fun getting to see him on camera more often
