Thank you, I appreciate that you are speaking much slower than most of the tutorials on this product and know there is a lot more to cover. I will look forward to your next tutorial.
Intresting Fact about DaVinci Resolve: The term 'Film Bins' in editing software has roots in old-school film editing. Back in the day, editors would physically cut film strips with razors, then hang each clip by its sprocket holes on hooks attached to a rack over a large bin. This setup kept the long film strips organized and off the floor. These ‘bins’ became essential for organizing shots, and editors could roll them around the studio as needed. Editing desks were huge machines, where film pieces were cut and reassembled with special tape that had matching sprocket holes. Sound was managed separately on synchronized magnetic tape rolls. Multiple tracks were edited, but only two could be played back together until the final mix, which involved syncing several machines at once. Imagine the patience and skill it required-editing was a true art form
This is an extremely thorough and well done tutorial. I watched it once before I downloaded Resolve and it definitely allowed me to get started with a lot more confidence than I would have had if I had not watched it first. I’m re-watching this for a second time just to try and remember some of the shortcuts now that I’ve gotten my feet wet. I can’t thank you enough for this. Well done!
Editing on my phone is quick and easy, and I've gotten really good at it, but I really need to take my editing to the next level but I've always found Desktop editing softwares a bit daunting. I've decided to try again, so thank you for putting out this video.
I've watched a *LOT* of videos about using software, Kevin, and this is by FAR the best I've seen. Thank you for sharing! I'm glad I found your channel, and look forward to studying more of your content.
I think this is the best youtube tutorial i've ever seen for anything. Thank you. Its given me more confidence that i should be able to teach myself to make some semi-professional videos gor youtube. In particular that doing the basics in some fairly high end editing software doesnt appear to have to have an emormously steep learning curve.
Great video, as usual. I have been using Davinci Resolve for a year and a half now and have gotten so much better at it. Thanks for all the amazing videos that you make.
hey bro i am facing a problem, i am new to davinci resolve and installed it for the first time but when i try to apply any basic transition on my video the app stops and after some time automatically gets closed . i also tried to install the 19.1,19.0.1,19.0.3 version but the problem is still there . plz help
@pingpongball969 I would post that in the black magic forums and see what they say. The try the following 1. Try to use different footage and see if it still crashes 2. Try a different computer if you can. 3. Move the footage to a different location on your computer. Try these and hope it helps. Good luck
Dude! This is exactly what I needed, just enough info for me to start experimenting. I learn much better by doing, but when you start from zero its a slow start, this gave me the leap forward I needed. Thanks!
I have been using DaVinci Resolve for a while, very much a beginner. I found several great tips on this video to help me get a little better. Thanyou so much for explaining in simple terms. I will keep coming back to this video to help enhance my skills further
One of the best tutorials available 💯 I was working on a macro keypad/jogwheel SpeedEditor like thing on my weekend/hobby laptop but did not have any usable video material to test with. In my search for some simple videos to play with I found this tutorial. Even though I do use Resolve there is a lot to learn from this tutorial. Definitely worth saving to scrub through the different items while I am editing my next hobby project 😁
At long last, an instructional video presenter for Davinci which makes it easy to learn. I would buy you a beer and give you a friendly hug if I ran into you at the local pub. Seriously, you are a very good teacher! Thank you sincerely!
AAAANNND sample files to learn from, WOW, Just WOW !!!!!!! I love the fact that I don't have to look at your face while learning this. Cant stand youtubers that have to show their tatoos or their equipment and back grounds. You are just amazing Kevin. I owe for this very much.
I needed the short cuts so I googled it Basic Navigation Zoom In/Out on Timeline: Ctrl + - or Ctrl + + Play/Pause: Spacebar Go to Start of Timeline: Home Go to End of Timeline: End Editing Cut/Split a Clip: Select the clip, then press Ctrl + B (or Command + B on Mac) Undo: Ctrl + Z (or Command + Z) Redo: Ctrl + Shift + Z Delete Clip: Select the clip, then press Delete Trimming & Adjustments Trim In/Out (Clip start/end): Ctrl + [ or Ctrl + ] Ripple Delete (Remove a clip and close gap): Select the clip, then Shift + Delete Quick Color Correction Open Color Page: Shift + 6
Great introductory tutorial. Be interested to see how to create a video with scrolling text along the bottom that runs for the length of the video. Similar to rolling news channels. Content might include a web site and contact name, phone numbers etc
You can use the text+ effect with keyframes on the position to make scrolling text on the bottom. If you learn some of the Fusion page, you can even make it loop throughout a video.
i have watched alot of youtube videos on davincci resolve but THIS is so simplified.i was able to follow the whole process without feeling lost. thank you for this amazing video. but could you please do a video on color grading 😩
Great video. I wanted to ask you, did you make a video talking about your computer set up as far what computer you use, how much ram you have, Intel or Ryzen, graphics card etc.?
Thanks for the compliment! I haven’t made a specific video about my computer setup yet, mostly because I use a variety of laptops and desktops depending on the project. For the best performance, though, I recommend aiming for at least 32GB of RAM and a dedicated GPU-these specs really help when handling demanding tasks like video editing or running AI tools. If there's enough interest, I might consider making a video breaking it all down!
@KevinStratvert That would be great if you made the video even if it is a short one. I am in the process of wanting to build myself a desktop computer now that I have most of the money saved up and some advice would be great. I hope to start a RUclips channel in the next couple of months so I need to get cracking on learning Davinci resolve since the free version is more than sufficient. Keep up the great work your doing .
Before we start, I have an amd card. And I'm not saying "use Nvidia cards" here, they have their own problems. But if Davinci crashes on you when you drag and drop footage into a timeline, it could be your amd driver. Adrenalin 24 simply doesn't work with davinci 19 as of today for me. I had to downgrade to 23.3 I think. Just in case someone is wondering as well as I had to try this to find out. Black magic really needs to fix their software, it's not the first time Davinci acts up for no reason at all.
Thanks for sharing! It’s frustrating when things don’t work smoothly-your tip about downgrading to 23.3 will definitely help others using AMD cards with Resolve 19. Hopefully, Blackmagic fixes this soon!
Thanks man! Your tutorials are always straight to the point. Please can you teach on how to turn the background of a video clip to be blurry? I look forward to your next tutorial on Davinci Resolve
I've learned that DaVinci is quite difficult for beginners like me. It's better to start with some simpler software like CapCut. After that, one can easily adapt to this. Thanks for the tutorial.
Yes, it’s true that in DaVinci Resolve 19, the Fairlight dynamics 'Send' and 'Listen' buttons are now only available in the Studio (paid) version. It's definitely frustrating, especially if sidechain processing was a big part of your workflow. If you're considering Studio, a great way to get it is to pick up a Speed Editor from Blackmagic, which includes a license key for the Studio version.
Kevin, you are a great instructer. I am aware of these basics as I've been using the free edition for a few months. I just took advantage of the sale price of $235 for the Studio version. Are youplanning any further videos on Studio? Thanks
What is the keystroke to get back to the beginning of the timeline on a Mac? I read somewhere it was the semicolon but that only goes back to the beginning of a clip you have selected. Is there a way to assign the ENTER key to go back to the beginning a la Premiere?
kevin thank so much for the video i wanted to ask if you can help i want to install this to desktop computer but doesn’t allow to install. computer is gaming computer it has RTX 4070 it gives error and close please if possible to help me thank you so much for your time thank you
Im having an issue with clip 13. It doesnt show an image file explorer and when i copy it to DR it says media offline. Ive tried to re download it but same thing happened.
Great tutorial! If I could give you 2 thumbs up I would. TY for making this as I just started down the path of creating college recruitment videos for my son and this is going to be a game changer!!!! TYTYTY
hey kevin i am facing a problem, i am new to davinci resolve and installed it for the first time but when i try to apply any basic transition on my video the app stops and after some time autmatically gets closed . i also tried to install the 19.1,19.0.1,19.0.3 version but the probelm is still there . plz help
Shotcut and DaVinci Resolve are both great video editors, but they cater to slightly different needs. Shotcut is simpler, free, and perfect for beginners or those who want to make quick edits without a steep learning curve. On the other hand, DaVinci Resolve is a powerhouse, offering advanced tools for color grading, effects, and audio editing-great for pros or anyone looking to level up their editing skills. If you’re just starting, go for Shotcut; if you want Hollywood-level features, DaVinci Resolve is your jam.
I clicked on reset UI like 5 times, IT does NOT look like yours at all. you have extra boxes 2 masters smart bin? I don't have that. I have the black screen, but not the other grey one to the far right. using 19.1.1 owell. lets keep moving forward
What scam? Everything he did in this vid can be done in the free verion of DR. DR Studio is a one time purchase of $295. Presently on sale for $235. CC is free but CC Pro is $10 a month.

I guess I'm too too much of a beginner I can't seem to figure out how to bring in the media. I am on a p c I don't know how you did what you did there
Open file explorer on a windows pc by pressing the windows key + E. Find your files and then drag and drop into the media pool.
I clicked on reset UI like 5 times, IT does NOT look like yours at all. you have extra boxes 2 masters smart bin? I don't have that. I have the black screen, but not the other grey one to the far right. using 19.1.1 owell. lets keep moving forward
Hi bro
What's up?
DaVinci Resolve 19 Tutorial for not beginner when?
I would love to use the free version of Davinci resolve but it doesn’t support 4:2:2 10 bit
Please provide discount in excel course please sir
250$ program charges for basic features that are only 10$ on capcut - what a scam.
The core editing features are free in DaVinci Resolve.
What scam? Everything he did in this vid can be done in the free verion of DR. DR Studio is a one time purchase of $295. Presently on sale for $235. CC is free but CC Pro is $10 a month.
How do you do the 10:40 ripple move on a mac?
