This is the reason i havnt been active here on youtube for so long! ive been upgrading my skills as an editor and putting together this in depth Davinci Resolve course at the same time :) Thanks for your continued support! you guys rock.
Already did it months ago
Always you are my inspiration brother
waiting for you to say "See you in the next one!"
Good to see you back Sam , We miss you a lot bro! Please keep continue making content on KZhead .
Its def hard to find more pro Resolve editors, so hey if you ever an assist I'd love to help! Especially once the cloud tools appear in Canada, counting the days.
A note on not saving: I recently experienced a DaVinci Resolve crash and forgot to save, so I feared that I lost my 100-ish edits to the interview I was working on. Upon reopening Resolve, I found my project with zero lost edits.
I am brand new to Davinci Resolve. Couple of days experience. I was practicing with different effects and moving videos in. I clicked on something that made my 2nd monitor open. (I was actually just trying to figure out how to have what's called the "source viewer", back, so i could have 2 windows, side by side in the editor, again. It crashed shortly after. I was horrified. I didn't remember saving anything. But. It was all auto-saved! I was able to re-open the project, and I was back up to where I last left the project. Super nice! I've been so happy I made the decision to try to learn Davinci Resolve. I'm still struggling with the node stuff, though.
This same feature has existed in FCPX for over a decade. 🤷♂️
Auto save exists on every app
@@BKLYN48 I haven't used FCPX but in Premiere, autosave is set to save at set intervals. So you can set it to save evry minute if you want (I had it at 10 mins) but every time it saves, the software pauses. Maybe 1/4 a second, maybe 5 seconds on a huge project (and I'm on a 7950x with a 4090 and 128gb DDR5. So its not a slow hardware issue. But you still risk losing time, even when it saves every 10 mins. You re-open (praying the autosave file isn't corrupt) and then have to figure out how far back it's put you, then re-do your edits. DR saves after very action and it's imperceptible. No spinning wheels, now greyed out windows, nothing. Just a costant, live backup.
@@robwhitmore3040Oh dang
Oh man! I started the switch about two month ago, and it’s taken me a while to feel like I’m fully back to speed but I’m so glad I’ve been investing the time to make the switch!
Congrats! Here's hoping more editors make the switch. Could mean the days are gone when log footage makes it into the final edit.
Welcome to the club man! Davinci has reignited my excitement to edit again! 🥳
Same! Davinci was way more intimidating to switch to than Final Cut was (from PP), but I'm planning on giving it a good shot over the next 6-12 months!
I think you just helped solve your first “Things I don’t like.” Thanks! Awesome review! BTW, you can expand and shrink Timeline clips to fill the screen with Slider in the middle towards the right. Some of my favorite features: Free LUTS to drag in easily onto the clip node, Scopes to watch your Color grade effects in real time, Effects Library on left side that lets you drag and drop almost any effect onto your clip, and Speed Editor that lets you cut your imported media super fast! What’s yours?
Please just use the free version and watch the ample amount of tutorials. As someone who wanted to create content over a year ago but knew quite literally nothing about editing this software was a general scare due to its insane amount of features( literally everything you could ask for). However, it is quite amazing the learning curve that you acquire through practicing. It is truly amazing that Davinci allows for normal 18 year olds like i to learn such crazy skills for free.
Thank you for this. Where is a good place to get the ample amounts of tutorials you spoke of? Is there somewhere online or here on youtube?
Ikr? When I was 16 I had to download a cracked version of 3DS4 from a warez BBS because I couldn't afford spending $10k.
@@Pneuma3339 Casey Faris makes some great tutorials
@@threeeyedtribe thank you so much!
@@Pneuma3339 happy to help!!!
17:19 You can fill the entire screen with the timeline if you’re working with two screens.🤟🏻😊 Menu > workspace > Dual screen > Full screen timeline.
Yes! But I would like to have the ability to expand ANY panel to the full size of the screen just like you are able to do in premiere! That is still not possible :(
@@koldstudios Yes i was missing that too when shifted to davinci
@@koldstudios they want you to buy one of their panels to get better accuracy for making changes 🙂 it seems kinda fair given the price if resolve itself.
@@koldstudios The UI in Resolve is pretty rigidly set up in general. There are tabs that can be opened and closed, and you can hide some buttons and there are layouts for dual screen. Even Triple screen if you have Studio so you can put the Clean feed on a separate monitor. And some panels can be made floating so they can be moved to a fourth screen. (you can never have too many screens). It took a while to get used to that rigidity... but the upshot is that no matter which computer you use, no matter where you are... and no matter what tutorial you watch or read... if it's updated... the UI should be the same. So standardisation has its pros as well as the cons. And yes. They do encourage users to get their hardware for full hands on workflows. I guess it's part of the reason it's free and even the payed version is just $300 and they have never charge for an update and they stay away from subscription fees. Their main income is from their hardware.
@@koldstudios this the the upgrade I'm waiting for so long! I've been using Davinci since Resolve 15! So many good changes already and I bet they will do this upgrade in the future!
Just getting into editing. This video saved me from buying other services. None of them made a video like this. Thank you
Me too!
could just torrent them instead of buying them.
Started using DaVinci as an abolute beginner a while ago knowing absolutely nothing about editing. Its so intuitive that a 10 minute quick tutorial is all I needed to get started and whenever I want to use one of the more advanced features its another 5 minute video to get the gist of it. Very user friendly, can recommend
yeaaaaah
Thank You - i'm a no-nothing-noob; i now know which software i'm going to use; thanks again
Do they allow for you to record voiceovers in the software? And do they have audio caption like on capcuts? Also can I create text and background overlays on a clip to display a list of things I am mentioning in the video.? I hope that was clear.
Once you get more involved you will run into some truly mind-numbing retardation in the way some things in this program are set up.
@@MAGAMAN i gave up on DaVinci Resolve after realising i didn't have the hardware it required; just trying to do some real basic editing on a laptop
Dude, I am so glad that I didn't delete this from my watch later. I'm just so used to seeing "trying out resolve for X days" videos, where at the end the person eventually gives up on the program because it's unfamiliar (fair enough tbh). But your confidence and very concise layout of this video makes me really get HYPED for a video editing program - I've always been quite skeptical, but this is making me much more interested in Resolve, and I am inspired to learn more!
Nailed this breakdown dude. Literally switching 2 years ago was the best decision I've ever made for my filmmaking career. Great to see you back
You are the reason I switched to davincii. Loving it
I already wanted to switch when you told me how good Resolve was, but now I'm a 1000% convinced I need to switch right NOW! 🤘🏻Congrats again bro on all your inspiring work!
Wow. What a TOOL.
I tried to switch a few years back, but even putting something like warp stabilizer on a single clip made me go mad because my mind was programmed to think layer-based for over 20 years now. But I think that I'll still give it a try! It's so seducing!
@@lxapproduction edit page is layer based. Only color and fusion is not.
IDK if anyone already said this but you can do fullscreen timeline with 2 monitors. In the toolbar at the top of the screen go to Workspace > Dual Screen > Full Screen Timeline. Dual Screen must be active in order to do this but it is a huge time saver. Great vid and hope this helps anyone else that is learning Davinci.
@@DawnHub666 He means that you can send your timeline to second monitor, and it'll fill it to borders.It'll transport from all-in-one interface to divided on two screens. Hope you'll get it.
Upvote!
im just starting off can you explain this in a newbie perspective 🤣🤣😭😭
@@oshyvertgaming Unless you've not figured out by now, it simply means 2 monitors, one is dedicated mostly to the timeline and the preview screen, the rest of the interface is on the other screen. or in DR 17/18, the entire viewer is on one screen, the rest on another screen. This is, of course if you've set yourself up as 2 monitor workflow and that is done via the OS.
Oh wow I’ve been wondering how to do this. Thank you!!
ive been irking from doing video content on social for my business for a while now, but your sheer passion and "flow" expressed in your love for Davinci has sparked an itch to edit SOMETHING, ANYTHING!! LET ME DO THE THINGS!!
Crazy to see how much work you put into everything you do! Well done man 👏🏽
Would you think of switching Niklas?
Would love your thoughts too on this Niklas! As a beginner I’m still on the fence…
looks so effortless for him, masterful work
Niklas, now your turn to switch 😎😎
What's with ur course man.
I've started using Davinci Resolve few years ago because it was free. I was always worried if I'm doing the right thing, because all the famous video editors like you Sam used Adobe softwares at the time. So glad to see I made the right decision as Davinci is slowly making it's way into the light of mainstream.
I made the switch when I noticed premiere pro sucks 😆 don’t worry about who uses the software what matters is what you can do with it! Stay creative my friend
You shouldn't use something based on who use it though, they all do the same thing at the end of the day
feel you so hard!!!
@@nygmaa yeah but as a beginner I was, I didnt really see if I was doing the right thing or not. Now when Im better at editing my videos, I can say it was a good decision to step into the dark.
@@TonyMarikVideos Oh yeah for sure
There’s so much structure and reasoning behind your explanations, I love it. Keep inspiring!
This video is mind-blowing, not just the software itself, but also the way you thoughtfully created and edited it. Good job, man! I definitely subscribe.
10 months is a long time to wait! Worth it for 19 minutes of pure gold!! Thank you for taking your time creating something amazing. Slowly is the fastest way to getting there.
I was a premiere guy from 2013 until 2021. Premiere killed my editing creativity because it just couldn't keep up with the things I wanted to do. Working on DaVinci has brought life back to my work, really stoked to see this course.
Wait until you start running out of video memory. That will kill your creativity real quick and it will kill your entire project too.
I’ve been using Final Cut Pro X and I absolutely love it… it’s always been my go-to. However, I’ve wanted to work on editing on my iPad, and therefore trying to learn DaVinci Resolve for iPad… definitely a learning curve. Thanks for this, Sam! You rock, and I’m so glad you’re doing so well!
I’m only a very occasional editor, and Premiere has been such a struggle to use. Given that I’m not in it every day (or even every month), paying the ridiculous subscription cost for it doesn’t make any sense. Seeing this video has tipped me over to switching to Resolve going forward. Thanks for such a great, clear overview, you’ve probably saved me hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars over time 👍😁
this is extremely inspiring. definitely need to take the plunge and learn Resolve properly. excited to learn more from you.
Almost convinced me to buy your course. But then I checked the price and it's $800. I think it's worth spending half a year struggling to learn how to use resolve like you did than paying $800 for the course.
good content isnt cheap brother
If you make $20/hr with your work, it would take you 40hr to pay off the full course (1 work week). Otherwise, you're spending up to 26 weeks to figure it out on your own ($20,800). This also doesn't include the opportunity cost of projects you could be getting paid to do because you're spending too much time learning a new software. Just some food for thought. Hopefully, that helps you think through the investment.
Good for you! One can learn a lot from struggling and figuring things out on your own. Fancy courses & equipment can do some of the job, but ultimately the self-discipline and passion you devote is what makes you a master.
@@KapChatfield If you just edit videos for instagram or youtube and this isnt a job 800 or 1200 dollars is just way too much if you ask me.
@@yannikbaltes3552 Maybe you're right. But if you're just editing for Instagram and KZhead, you're probably not even doing serious enough editing to make the switch? People can do what they want, but if this software is as good as Kolder says it is yet as difficult to learn as he claims, then $800 to have him teach you everything he knows seems like an absolute steal to me.
thank you for the hard work you put into this - been using this program for 4+ years and even now learning the program just keeps on giving
Thanks man! I switched from PP to Hitfilm long ago and now that they went subscription based I thought about switching to Resolve. This video convinced me. Thanks again! :)
I’ve only start using it on Saturday and I’m extremely impressed by it. So friendly to use and it seems it just captures everything you need and you would never look for more from a similar software.
I literally just downloaded Resolve 10 min ago and have never done video editing before. it's all quite overwhelming but I'm encouraged by the positivity around this software!
Davinci is basically like Blender. Blender is used for the 3D type of work, but Davinci is used for the video editing related work. Both softwares are really getting ahead these days and both are free, technically Davinci can be called a free software
I love both softwares
It is free. But after I have edited three videos, can't do any more. Final cut too. I was testing free version of Davinci and final cut to choose which one to buy. But facing this problem. But I can use final cut more than two months. For Davinci only a few days. So I have to buy.
@@LayiiThalaNai DaVinci Resolve is totally free, it just lack a few features offered in the paid version.
Thank you!!@@PeytonPlace212
@@PeytonPlace212 Yes, noted with thanks! :) Not good for me is I can only use the basic title when I want to type my language.
You took the words right out of my brain, i began resenting editing so much because of the constant premiere hiccups. I even stopped shooting just thinking of the editing process. Thank you for this well put video! I am sparked :)
Yeah bro! Couldn't have said it better myself! Resolve really gave me my passion back :) Hope the course blows up!
Every Premiere Pro editor this year: I AM SWITCHING TO DAVINCI I CAN'T HANDLE THIS Every Final Cut Pro X editor this year: Ah yes another year of great stable editing
90 days free isn't enough to see if FCP is worth the price tag plus plugins. Davinchi is becoming Hollywood standard in editing and already up there in regards to colour grading. Plus the free version is a menace and it's also optimised for Mac like FCP. It's a no brainer in-terms wanting to try something new that updates paid and free versions on a regular basis.
@@showaninja DR has been a hollywood standard for coloring and editing. Its always been DR vs FCP.
@@anchorsanvils standard is avid and adobe excluding inhouse NLE. Resolve for colorists. FCP ? Lol
get 90 days free and then just change the date if you want to fool the MacBook. Works on my Mac. A bit annoying but would you change the date every time or spend $300? thank me later ;)
😂😂
Oh wow man you just convinced me to start using Davinci Software (well first to learn) because I have been using Final Cut Pro since 2013 and learned a lot from that software. Been my best editing companion for my projects. Loved the way you talked about and explained all that. You deserve DaVinci/Blackmagic sponsorship for sure after this video. Thanks for sharing, I sure will have a look on your learning program.
I use the free version of Resolve and have NO IDEA what I'm doing but honestly really enjoy playing around with things and learning more. Great program.
You were the reason I felt an attraction towards film-making man and watching this video has reignited that passion in me...You were incredible with Premiere Pro and your videos were phenomenal... eagerly waiting to watch what you bring with using D-Resolve 🤝
So stoked you made the switch. And the amount of work that you put into not only this video but the course looks insane. Good job man!
For $800 it better be. You better off buying davinci and learning from KZhead
As someone who just begins to learn video editing and motion graphic but confused to choose what app to use, your video is just a life saver. Thank you 🎉
I really like the lighting and colour choices you made for this video. Everything was very pleasing on the eye without being distracting.
Total respect to Davinci for a one time payment price just like FCP. That was my reason to go with FCP years ago and I hate subscription models - they are such a rip off. Great to have you back on YT Sam and I can't wait to see your adventures and future projects! Paul
Been using Premiere for about 6 years now, and I must've spent about 2 years troubleshooting and constantly tackling new issues and whatnot. Honestly, this switch was so refreshing.
Yeah I think people are unfair to DVR saying it's hard to use when you have to do that with Premiere Pro. Effects aren't as easy as drag and drop, but everything else works smoother than PPro.
@@TheShamansQuestion Amen
Love the intro. Because it’s the same way i feel. I’m a truck driver but I really enjoy editing and everything about video production from film to finish. I can wait to get out this truck and back to production & post work 100%. Thank you for your time and clarity on resolve. I to have been uninspired with the crashes and lag with premier.
I am getting to videography and have been using premier pro for years for simple stuff and this video has convinced me to switch. I understand basic node ideology because I use blender and Unreal engine etc. This is great so thank you.
This makes me feel so much better! I downloaded DaVinci because the price tag of the other apps was just too much for me as a casual video editor. I love the app but was always worried I couldn’t grow with the program. As I grew to like it, I always wondered why others don’t use the program. It’s fantastic!
The editing on this video is outstanding! Well done and I agree that getting the software free with the BM camera was a great move by the company. I have it but as you say, it does have a steeper learning curve.
Dude! I litteraly listened to you for 10min on my way to Walmart On an errand and I’m subscribing and buying your course! Rock on!
5:23 absolutely. I use the free version to edit my videos(something I’ve never done before as I don’t make content but I enjoy creating new things). Resolve crashed on my computer 3 times, which was my fault not the programs as I ran out of space and had everything crash or stutter. I was worried about loosing almost an hour of work and went back in to be exactly where I left off. Utterly amazing, as I’ve used other programs and those would have set me back that full hour
I switched a year ago and couldn't agree more. I absolutely love how easy and human Davinci is. Especially as a 3d artist working with more file types than mp4s
I use Resolve for 8 years now and I like how its slowly taking over the industry
Love your work and totally agree. Not an easy learning curve, but what an editing suite! Keep up the great content!
You actually changed my mind about which soft to learn more deeply. Thank you man. I'm thinking of purchasing your course.
I started using Davinchi Resolve to make AMVs today and I love it, having the cut and edit separated that’s smart, it’s just perfect, everything is just so good, people have been telling me that Fusion isn’t a After Effect replacement but for me it now is, it’s way easier to work with the node system is just built for me, I’m never going back, the only Adobe software I have left now is Photoshop
Where did you learn how to navigate the node system? Any recommended tutorials? I’m considering trying Resolve for AMVs myself.
@@CloudMountainJuror node is like lego . Just press shift space, add whatever by searching in fusion, then go enjoy thiss！
@@CloudMountainJuror Nodes are just like layers, but non-linear. You can build the upside-down, sideways, or any way you want.
@@4nlimited3dition_4n3d and unlike layers are much better for clip wise basis cuz cmon, building is way more fun than stacking. It goes into both dimensions providing a personalized experience
@@lumin__ That and also, multiple inputs and outputs anywhere you want.
I’m not an video editor, or even a public content creator. But I am a creative and I love experiencing what those near the top of their game can produce. This is a video about software. Honestly, that’s a tough subject that usual involves me clicking through to the conclusions and moving on to the next one. But it was magic. It held my attention for its entirety, and that in itself is unusual. But it wasn’t necessarily the content, it was the editing. The pace, the timing of transitions and in particular the colouring. Just needed to call it out
The flow of the video was amazing. Guess that means he knows his stuff!
You should check out his other videos if this is the first of his you've seen. Kolder is top tier
Just finished this video as I’m looking to make the switch from Final Cut and I’ve gotta say; between your logically laid out reasons to make the switch, and the incredibly well done video you’ve brought to me, I’m convinced and will be making the switch. New to the channel, newly subscribed, and extremely grateful to have found this video. Incredible work man. Thank you for this!
Dude your edits are one of a kind
Officially began my first KZhead channel but I haven't made my official video yet to why I created my channel and what it is all about but I know what I want to create on my channel that will have a real meaning to it. I am definitely in need of better software as a beginner because when I use adobe premiere it always goes to error codes and It loses project files. Thank you Sam for providing more info on the new Davinci program! Looking forward to switching to a new program and learn along the way!
Amazing to see that Sam Kolder is using Resolve too! Welcome to Team Resolve!
Your video right here might just be the final reason for me to switch to Resolve after 17 years with Premiere Pro. It feels hard but I can't justify using a product that hasn't solved its biggest issues in forever. I'm a professional PP user and to this day I never feel confident to start a project on it ever, it's always like walking on a minefield of issues. I might miss a few plugins, but your video made me very confident that I will find an alternative method for everything I need, inside Resolve and without any worry of crashing or slowdowns. 👏🏼
Wow, I'm amazed at the amount of effort they put into the details of the program! Definitely gonna switch
I would love to get the class but it makes no sense to drop $800 on a course that someone built from only using resolve for 6 months. Idk just doesn’t seen reasonable to me. I would like to know other’s thoughts on this
Contrary to what Sam says in this video, there are a ton of places where you can learn Resolve completely free. Blackmagic Design has their own training that comes with the project files and when you're done with the course, you'll actually be certified by BMD. There are also a lot of people who have been using Resolve for YEARS that have great channels that you can learn from.
Absolutely.
$800 is a bit steep mate. And looking at the breakdown of videos, they average about 10 minutes each. At least 5 "Watch me" videos, likely with no commentary. No mate, I don't want to have to reverse engineer 'no commentary' videos to figure out what's going on, not for 800 quid. I'm downloading the official training from Blackmagic + project files for free as I'm writing this. Basically what this guy did was take the free training from the Blackmagic site and then put together a massively shortened course for $800, lol.
Well, this whole video is an ad to buy his course, just like many youtubers do for their product. Probably sponsored by BM. Doesn’t mean the course is bad, it might be good, even after 6 months of usage. It’s about the time and energy that is put in and by how many people. But I’d always think for myself before believing everything online. For example: Software (like premiere) cannot be the sole reason why video editors loose focus or motivation.
Yeah this whole thing is an Ad.. I wouldn't think too much into it. Every youtuber this year is "switching" to resolve. There's something going on on the backend we don't fully know
Seems like a lot of people are switching now, including me. BlackMagic earned it. The value they offer is insane! Looking forward to upcoming videos.
Thank you ! You did a great job simplifying such a complex daw....Looking forward to be a great producer
i love you thank you for this. amazing review that's in enough detail to make me seriously consider getting this. been looking for a video editor as a newbie and from everything i'm hearing, this seems to be the best option. love this content!
17:24 ultimate Resolve moment hahaha. The one feature I'd love to see is full MIDI support under Fairlight; I'd love to write some score using Resolve. Other than that, I'm very glad I chose to learn it instead of Premiere 5 years ago.
You can render multiple projects back to back in final cut. Just highlight all the projects and clips you want to export, then press share and export normally but they will all export together back to back.
Perfect description and in depth explanation of each detail/reason for the switch.
You cannot imagine my delight at using RESOLVE Will definitely visit your courses.
Fully agree! Since I switched from Premiere to Resolve, I'm soooooo much happier while editing 🤩🤩. And I switched out of desperation one day when I couldn't stand the crashes anymore 😆
Until now I always used iMovie for my small and short clips. But with my last project which was my most biggest project ever (24min), I hit the limitations of iMovie pretty much from the start. And I had to split it to 7 smaller parts and it was really disappointing😮💨 So I'm looking for something for more professional work now. I'm happy I found this video and your experience with the Davinci Resolve. Thank you a lot for sharing it! Much appreciated
I just finished my first profession commission for a video. I have a photography background and coloring creatively has been my bread and butter. I was shocked that the same people that created Lightroom have such a stunted, stupid grading feature as lumetri. Looking into plugin options, i found all these arguments for davinci. It's intimidating having just learned editing software to learn it all over again. But this video melted my fears and has greatly inspired me. Thank you.
I'm not a video editor but just watched this entire video because I've watched my wife have mental breakdowns after years of using Premiere Pro for her KZhead Travel Channel...You make a very convincing case for DaVinci and can't wait to show her this.
Made the switch to Davinci a year ago, and I've been so happy. I still use After Effects too. Think the thing that held me back from switching for so long was the idea of having my workflow slowed down while I learned the program
Man, I am stunned every time by your content, knowledge and also really inspired. And to put the editing on the side, I always notice the insane graphics quality and shots... What camera(s) do you use? And is there any "secret" to filming like this? Because this isn't just 4K or whatever it is... It's more and you can see the difference. I am pretty unexperienced when it comes to film making, but I am in music industry and this stuff will really come in handy
7 minutes in and you have me sold on getting into this. Dynamic Link was the main thinking keeping me on premiere but I can easily leave that for the robust features you've outlined. Much better to have one program to work in that constantly jump around 3 resource hungry programs
Completely agree with everything you've said. Switched to Resolve 2 years ago and haven't looked back.
Davinci Resolve cut page + speed editor is awesome for getting through my A fairly quickly. My edits are relatively simple but it ends up saving me a decent bit of time.
You have an excellent talent and professionalism as a communicator, I also share the passion for this tool although I am just getting started with video editing I am eager to learn more about your course Thanks for inspiring us, I respect what you do
Thanks for explaining it really well! I've been putting off learning soft soft cuz it looks so intimidating but now that I easily understood the
I’m new to editing and just yesterday decided to go with Davinci. Looks like I bet on the winning horse 😉 Thank you Sam, always inspiring to watch your work 🤘
I'm a small content creator, making videos is more like a hobby to me. So it's so nice that there's a professional tool that is free to use. I used a different program before, but that one was very restrictive with it's free version, lagged often, etc. I'm now working on making the full switch to resolve, so far it looks really promising.
Resolve is an amazing video editor, ive used it for a few years now, and I wouldn't ever pay for an Adobe program thanks to it
You're teaching me things about davinci! I've been using it for about a year and I had no idea about the saving feature, power bins or the sound library automation
thanks kold. this was my 8th day at learning video editing as a side hustle skill. all this time i thought that i will have to use davinci because i don't have money for subscription of paid softwares. i thought i am lagging behind than other editors this way. But your video was such a relief. Thanks man. Love n respect you loads from India. Wish you light and creativity.

Wowww, this legitimately got me interested in switching from Premiere to Resolve. In the middle of some big projects right now, but when things slow down in a couple of months, I am probably going to switch. Sick of the constant bugs, crashes, and lag!
Do it! It's so much better
amazing to see that everyone is joining the other side finally! Such an incredible software that really makes you fall in love with video editing once again and overtime you open the software! Regarding the timeline, there is an option to have a full screen timeline on a secondary monitor Sam!
Do you still keep After effects/photoshop?
@@PrimVB yeah still use them but Premiere Pro is uninstalled from my system and I only edit video with Resolve 😁
What a beautiful video. I switched from Premier to FCP 6 years ago and its really changed my life and made editing so much easier for me but now a part of me want to switch to DaVinci just because I heard the color grading is better there and it is more widely accepted and loved in the industry but I am not gonna make the switch until I find a good amount of things that Davinci can do but FCP cannot. Because right now i am satisfied with FCP
I'm using it myself. Used alot of software and this seems to be overall the best ui/eu app ive played with in a while. I look forward to how much I grow with it :)
Davinci resolve is truly amazing. I was lucky enough to pick it up as an inaugural editor for my vids.
if you want to become a pro move to premier pro, it smokes Davinci, Davinci has so many limitations,
@@blackpoolpastpresentfuture4973 I have used all adobe suite pro apps. They are nice! However, for what I do Davinci has all I need and more. If ever I need to start making epic trailers for the games I make and have a small team to work with Ill make the switch😁
@@blackpoolpastpresentfuture4973 There is no pro in movie industry using Premiere actually, most adobe stuff are for mostly KZheadrs and prosumers at best. All the big agencies who edit movies and tv shows are still using media composer and for grading resolve has been used in movies since the 90s. There are way more features in Resolve that smokes premiere in every possible way, premiere doesn't even come anywhere close when it comes to actual pro features. The pro in premiere pro ends with youtube and freelancers, no actual pro in movies is using any of the adobe garbage.
I started filmmaking 3 years ago and i chose davinci resolve because it was free. Now 3 years later, still with the free version and i love it! (I’m 15 btw)
Amazing Breakdown! Thank you so much for the thorough explanation!!!
This is the first time I am running into you on youtube and I have to say sir, YOU INDEED DESERVE EVERY LAST ONE OF THE SUBS YOU HAVE! The quality of your videos are insane 🤯.
I've gone back and forth over this for years now. I think if I just gave myself a solid month to stick to it, I'd make the switch. Change is scary but the tools in Resolve are pretty darn nice.
Going to switch to DaVinci for 2023, thanks for the video I was already considering switching from premiere but now I'm sold!
Same!
Just switched an hours ago, I am already convinced I will stick to it.
@@John-sp9if nice, same!
i'm an amateur vid guy. trying to get into youtube vids now and decided to try davinci resolve. it's definitely different (and more advanced) from previous programs i've used, but i've been steadily learning how it works and already seeing how the program will help me sidestep issues that plagued my editing days with the other basic programs. real excited. thanks for the vid.
Great walkthrough. This was so helpful. Thanks!
the idea of "power bins" is something I've wanted in editing software since.. like 2005? I'm really casual user who only edits something like once per year but still, crazy it took this long
The amount of work you have done in Kolder Creative is phenomenal
Are you a member of it? Super expensive but it sounds great
No i am not, it is very expensive for me too@@adventuresofaarontaylor
Fantastic video! I’m only starting out in my creative career and am so keen to get into Resolve. I can’t afford your masterclass yet, but definitely saving up for it!!! Cheers John
This video convinced me to try out Davinci. Going to keep editing my vids in my current editor for now, and use this for smaller projects. I love the idea of not having to switch between a bunch of apps, so I hope I’ll like it!
You really described exactly how I felt about premiere, great vid!
