I just came across this (thank you RUclips algorithms for paying attention) and this is worth subscribing to. And you’re clearly a pro because this well produced video is inspiring to see.
I've watched almost all your tutorials on DaVinci. Wanted to thank you -- profusely -- for the free education, your crystal clear presentations, flawless explanations, and for the time and trouble of making these videos. Seriously, Darren.... many thanks.
Daaaaaamn, This is aowsome, it really reminds me with the simplicity and the power of CUBASE over PROTOOLS that forced me to switch from PROTOOLS to CUBASE in 2008. Now in 2023 I'm switching from Adobe Premier to Davinci Resolve due to the same reason, so i would thanks the developers for developing this software as well as you man for these tutorials. Keep it up and i wish you all the best.🤲
I changed my “append to end” shortcut key to P So now in the cut page I just whizz through my clips using the keys I O P which are all next to each other making it even quicker to get to a rough edit 👍🏼🤩
Just learned more on 'Cut' mode from this video, than I had from several very much longer videos - great approach, no jumping around, no gimmicks, no shouting .....
Brilliant tutorial! Thanks for this. Most of the other intros are just showing off how cool the Speed Editor product is when pulling selects, whereas this explains the fundamental behaviors of the Cut Page timeline so that you can actually build out an assembly lighting fast.
@@timvommeer9660 I don't use FCP X but hear its similar. I think the cut page is so useful for assembly then into edit page to fine tune, not sure how FCP X deals with that - Resolve gives you 2 editors essentially. Thanks for your thoughts.
@@DarrenMostyn FCPX only has one kind of editing, it's called the magnetic timeline. I think DR was inspired by that. I'm new to DR and so far I just LOVE it! I think it will be my new editor of choice! I'm diggin' the several pages, the fusion workflow is inspiring and the color tools...wow! It's just an overall sweet package! For pure speed though: FCPX is unbeaten^^ It's just so well optimized.
Having trouble using the CUT Page - watch this episode! Watch the entire series of Killer Tips for Davinci Resolve here ruclips.net/p/PL6VNHhfsVYJZKcEUfGAyz6OGPDKM0rf4t Also note at 18.26 - The 'Edit page' has its own ripple overwrite - this was purely to demonstrate a lot of 'edits' are quicker in the Cut page most of the time. And typo at 16.40 'Lesson' should be 'Lessen'.
I hope you can fit a quick answer in. After watching miles of tutorials I am struggling to get the basics of cut and drag function on my timeline. How to cut both video and audio in one stroke, and how to create dissolve transitions which dissolve both video and audio in the transition. My question is how is my setup incorrect since video and audio do not cut, ripple and transition as one?
I think this is still the best video I've seen on using the cut page. I've been referring to this video ever since you made it 2 years ago. Thanks for sharing.
The "Close Up" button is great! However, there seems to be some 'subtlety' if the footage doesn't match the project/timeline. For example, I'm editing 4096x2160 source in a 1280x720 timeline and the zoom in doesn't seem to happen. I think it has to do with the Scaling option you've chosen in the Project Settings (or on the clip), i.e., Fit vs Center no crop. This beta-2 so maybe it's a bug. Certainly not 'magic' at this stage. If you're working on the extended tutorial, something to watch out for.
Hi Edward. It is using the Neural Engine to intelligently place the face at good position. if the face is too close to start with then it wont do a close up. Hope that helps.
Holy damn that “close up” feature blew my mind completely I already use casually DaVinci Resolve for Fusion and color but now I am sold on the editing capabilities as well
@@DarrenMostyn It did! Last week I finally upgraded my Mac to one that can handle DaVinci Resolve (until then if I wanted to use it I had to fire up a remote workstation, which just made it not worth it and I would default to Premiere), so I'm really looking forward to using it more now because it's an amazing piece of software. Thanks for the great tutorials!
I just realized that the cut page very much resembles the magnetic timeline in Final Cut X the Final Cut X magnetic timeline is indeed very fast in basic story telling but for me it's not confturble for fine editing So DaVinci actually uses best of both worlds.
I use both software. in FCPX turn off the magnetic timeline and you can get as detailed as you want. there are also a lot of really helpful shortcuts in FCP. look up some tutorials and you'll see what I mean. you can edit VERY fast if you fully understand the ins and outs of FCP. especially using a trackpad
I have invested 25:55 minutes of my live in this video... and I now know for sure that I will save TONS of hours thanks to you ! Thank you very much for all this awesome killer tips !
This is literally what I was searching for, which happens rarely these days, AND all my questions were answered! Gonna check the newer videos for any updates. As for requests, would love to see a "beginner workflow tutorial", which takes you through the actual workflow in Resolve, so you can see exactly how to use the program as designed for editing. This would be an excellent way to help those who want to transition, and are used to doing things a certain way, but now they can see how to use those same tools in Resolve.
Darren you're the greatest! Very helpful and your calm voice (and not fancy 'influencer'' shouting) and all the knowledge you share.. Thanks for that!!
I am so glad I found your videos. I have just started getting into video from a long career as a stills photographer and am enjoying using my cameras for video. There is so much to learn and I am sure your excellent videos are going to reduce the learning curve. A very big thank you as my OAP budget doesn't stretch to paid courses.
I agree with the commenters.. I'm just starting in Davinci, and whether I was starting out or much further along, this will become one of my most-viewed channels for learning and advancing in Davinci Resolve.. and why? .. because the attention to EACH STEP Mostyn puts in his videos. so valuable in the learning process and not just the highlights. Thank you.
Thank you Dirk. I put a lot of effort into these and so I'm pleased it is noticed. You might want to join my email list for announcements in the future. Its not spammy and I might give some free things away too. eepurl.com/hob0oH

Jo I have to say this: This ist the best toturial channel I've ever come across. Every video I click on I'm like... I have seen thousands of videos on this what can be new? The thing is while I think that, I know that I`ve seen what for example the CUT-Page can do but have no idea WHY to use it. Same with all other videos. These don't just give amazing tips I've never seen bevor they also make me confident, that I'm using the tools the right way! Thats so valuble. THANK YOU!
Thank you Adrian. This is the purpose of this channel. Anyone can show you what the tools do, but WHY and WHEN you use them is important. Glad to hear it has given you extra confidence using DaVinci Resolve. Appreciate you commenting too.

Very Underrated!! This is super useful for me as I haven't been using the cut page so much and always edited everything in the old way, which took a ton of my time. I am going to watch your videos 3 times more. Amazing!! Thanks
So good. Your first beginner episode and it's almost perfect. You said I and O are for in and out but missed a 5-second clarification of what they actually do. For an experienced professional this is an achievement to be sure. I'd say you had this reviewed by a complete noob but if you didn't it's a sign of a natural teaching gift. Thank you.
21:34 - The button is called, "Close Up", not, "Place On Top." I just spend 3 days looking for this, remembering I had seen it in a video. Best tool ever!
Thank you for the Cut Page Overview. Lots to do there, and I'm basically a cuts only show with some inserts, I'll concentrate on the Cut Page for most of my work. Keyboard shortcuts really help understand the basic needs to get working faster and better. I'll really be concentrating on learning the icons and getting them committed to memory.
Thank You very much. So many Resolve vloggers just bypass the cut page. You have actually showed us that there is a reason for this page. As I learn to Edit on Resolve I realize that editing should start in the cut page. There had to be a reason why Black Magic included this. I am definitely want to see your advanced tutorial on the cut page
I think because I use the software in anger, on very demanding REAL jobs I totally get the speed that the cut page delivers. It is a great feature for first assembly but then Im into edit page.
I am compelled to echo all the positive comments below - just to save time. This is the absolute best approach and detailed, concise explanation I have ever seen. SO clean and easy! Please keep up your excellent work. As the others also ask, I think you should be the premiere tutor for Resolve. (No pun there!).
I'm about to make my maiden voyage with Resolve, and you've told me pretty much everything I need to know to get started. Props to you, good sir, for your clear and well-paced walkthrough. I've found my go-to guy for all things DaVinci, methinks. Love from up north in Yorkshire! x
We need this video updated with the Speed Editor!!! :) Finally I understand the cut page. Nothing better then a professional talking to professionals!!!
the rightclick on the playhead to select all after or before clips was a feature i was searching for a while and the closeup got a new perspective too! thanks!
I started going through the speed editor video until you mentioned this one on the cut page. Great video , now I'll move to the speed editor and try and break my old habits from working on the edit page
So... I recently got Davinci and have been watching a lot of editing how to videos... your video actually is making me excited to start my edit process! Thank you so much for putting this out! It is so helpful! Can't wait to watch your other videos!
watched this one more time and now I have started to use the cut page thanks to this eminent tutorial, so much time that I have wasted before, Thank you
Excellent tutorial, after year of using resolve free version and following you, now when my speed editor is in transit along with my studio version I can finally get every bit of what you just described, years of experience in half an hour, and it's only the tip of the icebrg, kudos to you and wish you loads of success and happiness. 🎉❤
Still not convinced that the cut page would improve my workflow. I might give it a go in the future again as my first tries I went quickly to the edit page again. Thank you for the tutorial. You are really teaching useful content.
This is a fantastic tutorial, well done. I mostly use Adobe for video but I'm slowly moving over to Davinci Resolve. I find the cut tab quite bewildering and disorientating, but I'm getting used to it.

Some people have suggested ignoring the Cut Page. I'm glad that I didn't listen to them. I use it more than the Edit Page. But I learned a lot from your video. Superb.
Fantastic tutorial, thanks. I wish I had have looked into the cut page a year ago. I've been editing self filmed employees' videos describing their job for over a year and this will make it much quicker. Jumps cuts and lack of b-roll have been my problem and it has been so fiddly in the edit page. Thanks again.
Been back to this again as didn't grasp it all first time. Will no doubt need to come back yet again. Thanks for this and all your other tutorials. They're really helpful.
Oh my days!! I use the Cut page to start my edit but I did not know all these wonderful tools shortcuts!! Hands down Darren you’re the best at explaining how to get the full use of DaVinci Resolve! Thank you thank you thank you!!
@@DarrenMostyn I've done alot of work I the cut section. I think most cutting can be done there. Now I'll adjust some speed of the clips which I do in edit page and also add some subtitles. In cut section I did the in and out then F9 to add all my clips. Went very smooth! Cutting is an endless job, never pleased enough:D
What a fantastic presentation! Clear, lots of valuable insights for beginners and just the right tempo. Love it! Actually began working with Resolve last week but the learning curve CAN be quite fast - also thanks to you. Well, I am well aware that it's a masterfully complex suite - but I'll keep the enthusiasm. Keep up the great work!
Watching videos such as this one, it is REALLY nice that an ad doesn't pop up every 3 minutes that breaks my concentration. Fantastic job Big D! Subbed.
Thanks. Yes I switch off that extra revenue stream as I don't like it when I watch other videos. I only switch it on for the live stream if you watch it non-live as I get about 10 ads appearing over that time and they are more relaxed anyway. Thanks for the subscription - appreciated. Im live on Monday at 7pm GMT if you are around.
@@DarrenMostyn That attitude in itself is as worthy as your instructional vids! I wish more RUclipsrs approached it in that way. Keep up the great work! I'll be soaking it all in on what you have to offer (coming from FCPX).
Very well done, Darren. No wasted intro minutes getting to the tutorial. No BS'ing around like many other tutorial makers on RUclips. Thank you for respecting our time and intelligence.
Andy - exactly why i started this channel - respecting your time and intelligence! could use that as a slogan! Got so frustrated, I started my own channel (after doing an an app to make it EVEN easier for 4 years)! All the best, Darren. The app is dead now BTW.
Really Good walk through, Darren. I like the pace and the quality of the information presented. I'm coming from Kdenlive and just learning Resolve, so I find this type of information a tremendous help. Thanks for putting this together!
Wow, what a great tutorial. This completely changes how I look at the cut page and how I will be using Resolve. I am still struggling with it though. Strange things do happen from time to time but that might also have to do with me combining 25, 29.97 and 50 fps footage from different cameras all into one 24 fps project. I guess that's what happens when you quickly grab a few cameras and start filming without taking the time to prepare things properly
Thank you so much for this! Premiere user just moving to Resolve, and was really frustrated by it until I saw this video. It really allowed me to start working in a meaningful way. I was in timeline, trying to mimic Premiere but the cut page is great!
@@DarrenMostyn Out of the many yt vids on Resolve out there, this was the one that suddenly flicked on the light. Ah-ha! THAT'S how it works! Look forward to digesting all your vids!
Holy cow! Great information. And with 18.5, they've added additional features. I'm going to have to watch this again and set up some clips of my own to follow along with.
This is brilliant videos. Every other tutorial kept directing people to use the edit page more than the cut page from my experiences in iMovie this section is far better.
Been using Premiere Pro for 15 years, finally trying to make that switch over to DaVinci Resolve. I appreciate the tutorials you are putting out. They are definitely helping with the switch.
You are surely an expert with DR. One thing I didn't see addressed in this is the audio. What happens when I drop various camera sources that don't have good audio in them. How is dropping clips in the cut page affecting the master audio track?
I’ve been a little apprehensive about using cut page but I’m actually looking forward to it now. I discovered your channel yesterday and this is seriously good content, delivered with the aura and confidence of a Harley Street doctor. Nice, pace, nice voice, perfect studio, sound and lighting.
Thank You Dan. Glad to have you on board. The Cut Page is great but use with the Edit page swell. Plenty more episodes coming. Do you mind if I ask how you found my channel..? With it being new I'm trying to see where the traffic is coming from. Thank you for your kind comments. All the best, Darren
Darren Mostyn Hi Darren, your first ‘First Grade Sony A7Siii’ vídeo popped up so I watched that. I’ve watched quite a few videos on this camera so I guess that’s why it appeared.
@@DarrenMostyn haha. Just totally f’d up my edit. Out of nowhere the track was 30 seconds shorter after tweaking it in cuts. Hmm. Also realized that if tracks have a “red” end, i.e., no overlapping frames, transitions don’t always work.
Superb! Oddly this works a lot like FCP and is waaaaaaaaay faster than the Edit page. I just moved to Resolve and this will literally save me hours this week alone! BTW its 'Lessen' not 'Lesson'
I know! It’s not perfect and many corrected me - hope not ruined the experience too much and you gained a lot of new knowledge! 🤦 im not going to change at nearly 200k views! All the best, Darren. 👍
Brilliant, thanks Darren. How had I not discovered 'place on top' before? Super valuable, that's going to save a ton of time. I've come to love the cut page since its introduction, and feel I'm going to be loving it a whole lot more now, with all that you've explained. Thanks a mill.
Highly recommended channel for Davinci Resolve beginners !! The marked chapters are icing on the cake, one can watch exactly what they need from a long video which I have been doing over & over again past weeks till I get it exactly. Thanks Darren for the detailed tutorial you have created in series.
This tutorial made me fall in love with the cut page. It's amazing. "If you click here you type +500 and it adds 5 seconds". How was I supposed to know that? 😅 Maybe I should the full resolve manual to find things like this. The cut page helps with many of my struggles in the edit page. I'll try to do more of my edit in the cut page from now on.
I switched from Premiere to Resolve about a year ago and I love it. The ONLY thing is I can't seem to learn Fusion for anything. I have paid for courses and watched hours of tutorials but to no avail. So now I edit in Resolve and do my graphics and VFX in After Effects. Do you know of any fast way to have a better workflow with Resolve and AE?

for swapping right use shortcut key ctrl+shift+, and for left ctrl+shift+.

So now in the cut page I just whizz through my clips using the keys I O P which are all next to each other making it even quicker to get to a rough edit 👍🏼🤩

I think because I use the software in anger, on very demanding REAL jobs I totally get the speed that the cut page delivers. It is a great feature for first assembly but then Im into edit page.
This is exactly what I was looking for - person who does film beyond RUclips videos and can showcase real work experience. Thank you so much!
Trying my best.
I am compelled to echo all the positive comments below - just to save time. This is the absolute best approach and detailed, concise explanation I have ever seen. SO clean and easy!
Please keep up your excellent work. As the others also ask, I think you should be the premiere tutor for Resolve. (No pun there!).
Thank you Joseph. Very kind.
I'm about to make my maiden voyage with Resolve, and you've told me pretty much everything I need to know to get started. Props to you, good sir, for your clear and well-paced walkthrough. I've found my go-to guy for all things DaVinci, methinks. Love from up north in Yorkshire! x
Wish you all the best on a learning curve you will not Regret! Im Manchester born and bred so am a Northerner too! I lived up North until I was 17.
@@DarrenMostyn Extra brownie points, lad!
I learned more about DR in this one video than all the videos I've seen before put together. And believe me, I've seen a lot of them!
Thank you - means a lot - I try hard. All the best, Darren
9 minutes in and this is awesome, it will save me so much time! For years I've been put off by this page - thank you
You're very welcome!
We need this video updated with the Speed Editor!!! :) Finally I understand the cut page. Nothing better then a professional talking to professionals!!!
Thank you Nelson.
the rightclick on the playhead to select all after or before clips was a feature i was searching for a while and the closeup got a new perspective too! thanks!
TBH I only found it recently too - it was by accident! Happy to share. All the best, Darren.
Close up is great tool. Often shown in tutorials as just a zoomed in view on an edit, but for my money - beating a jump cut is far more useful!
I started going through the speed editor video until you mentioned this one on the cut page. Great video , now I'll move to the speed editor and try and break my old habits from working on the edit page
So... I recently got Davinci and have been watching a lot of editing how to videos... your video actually is making me excited to start my edit process! Thank you so much for putting this out! It is so helpful! Can't wait to watch your other videos!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for mentioning SPACE for STOP/Play, because for no reason I had difficulty in figuring that out!!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much Darren, you are a life saver. keep up the good work 🤩 Good day to you 👊😇✌️
watched this one more time and now I have started to use the cut page thanks to this eminent tutorial, so much time that I have wasted before, Thank you
So pleased to hear my tutorial made that work...makes it worthwhile for me! All the best, Darren
Excellent tutorial, after year of using resolve free version and following you, now when my speed editor is in transit along with my studio version I can finally get every bit of what you just described, years of experience in half an hour, and it's only the tip of the icebrg, kudos to you and wish you loads of success and happiness. 🎉❤
Glad it helped! Thanks for letting me know - always apprecited! Darren
Great!! First day editing in Resolve and I'm already cracking along!
Still not convinced that the cut page would improve my workflow. I might give it a go in the future again as my first tries I went quickly to the edit page again. Thank you for the tutorial. You are really teaching useful content.
Go for it! Give it a try on a non critical job! Once you get it you'll love it
This is a fantastic tutorial, well done. I mostly use Adobe for video but I'm slowly moving over to Davinci Resolve.
I find the cut tab quite bewildering and disorientating, but I'm getting used to it.
One of the best episodes and video tutorials; CUT page de-mystified and de-edited :-)
Thank you for sharing Darreb

Some people have suggested ignoring the Cut Page. I'm glad that I didn't listen to them. I use it more than the Edit Page. But I learned a lot from your video. Superb.
Thanks Ian.
Fantastic tutorial, thanks. I wish I had have looked into the cut page a year ago. I've been editing self filmed employees' videos describing their job for over a year and this will make it much quicker. Jumps cuts and lack of b-roll have been my problem and it has been so fiddly in the edit page. Thanks again.
You're very welcome! Cut page is well overlooked in general and Im using it right now!
Been back to this again as didn't grasp it all first time. Will no doubt need to come back yet again. Thanks for this and all your other tutorials. They're really helpful.
watch as many times as you need - its solid info! You can watch at 75% speed I think?
I shoud have watched this 2 weeks ago. could have saved tones of time. thank u Darren. from Seoul. Korea
Oh my days!! I use the Cut page to start my edit but I did not know all these wonderful tools shortcuts!! Hands down Darren you’re the best at explaining how to get the full use of DaVinci Resolve! Thank you thank you thank you!!
You are so welcome! Thank you Michael
Im in the cuting page right now with a new project for my YT, thank you for this!
Great. let me know how you get on with it!
@@DarrenMostyn I've done alot of work I the cut section. I think most cutting can be done there. Now I'll adjust some speed of the clips which I do in edit page and also add some subtitles. In cut section I did the in and out then F9 to add all my clips. Went very smooth! Cutting is an endless job, never pleased enough:D
After watching I had to come back to thank you for this tutorial. My last edit was so fast I literally didn't know what to do with my afternoon!
What a fantastic presentation! Clear, lots of valuable insights for beginners and just the right tempo. Love it! Actually began working with Resolve last week but the learning curve CAN be quite fast - also thanks to you. Well, I am well aware that it's a masterfully complex suite - but I'll keep the enthusiasm. Keep up the great work!
enjoy the journey - take it one step at a time! Its a beast!
Watching videos such as this one, it is REALLY nice that an ad doesn't pop up every 3 minutes that breaks my concentration. Fantastic job Big D! Subbed.
Thanks. Yes I switch off that extra revenue stream as I don't like it when I watch other videos. I only switch it on for the live stream if you watch it non-live as I get about 10 ads appearing over that time and they are more relaxed anyway. Thanks for the subscription - appreciated. Im live on Monday at 7pm GMT if you are around.
@@DarrenMostyn That attitude in itself is as worthy as your instructional vids! I wish more RUclipsrs approached it in that way. Keep up the great work! I'll be soaking it all in on what you have to offer (coming from FCPX).
I'm not in this for the money I get from adsense believe me! Works out about 10p an hour!!! Im doing a live on Monday at 7pm GMT if you are around.
Very well done, Darren. No wasted intro minutes getting to the tutorial. No BS'ing around like many other tutorial makers on RUclips. Thank you for respecting our time and intelligence.
Andy - exactly why i started this channel - respecting your time and intelligence! could use that as a slogan! Got so frustrated, I started my own channel (after doing an an app to make it EVEN easier for 4 years)! All the best, Darren. The app is dead now BTW.
Really Good walk through, Darren. I like the pace and the quality of the information presented. I'm coming from Kdenlive and just learning Resolve, so I find this type of information a tremendous help. Thanks for putting this together!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, what a great tutorial. This completely changes how I look at the cut page and how I will be using Resolve. I am still struggling with it though. Strange things do happen from time to time but that might also have to do with me combining 25, 29.97 and 50 fps footage from different cameras all into one 24 fps project. I guess that's what happens when you quickly grab a few cameras and start filming without taking the time to prepare things properly
Slogging my way through learning DR, this video is great.
Thank you so much for this! Premiere user just moving to Resolve, and was really frustrated by it until I saw this video. It really allowed me to start working in a meaningful way. I was in timeline, trying to mimic Premiere but the cut page is great!
At last…a Cut Page like!! It’s so underrated! Glad to have you on board, Darren
@@DarrenMostyn Out of the many yt vids on Resolve out there, this was the one that suddenly flicked on the light. Ah-ha! THAT'S how it works! Look forward to digesting all your vids!
Holy cow! Great information. And with 18.5, they've added additional features. I'm going to have to watch this again and set up some clips of my own to follow along with.
This is brilliant videos.
Every other tutorial kept directing people to use the edit page more than the cut page from my experiences in iMovie this section is far better.
The best Cut page tutorial I have seen, thanks for sharing - love it!
Amazing! Very clever tutorial, no stone left unturned!
Dang the cut page is incredible it does what I was so used to in final cut with the magnetic timeline, now I can finally permanently move to resolve.
You wont regret it
Been using Premiere Pro for 15 years, finally trying to make that switch over to DaVinci Resolve. I appreciate the tutorials you are putting out. They are definitely helping with the switch.
Glad you like them!
You are surely an expert with DR. One thing I didn't see addressed in this is the audio. What happens when I drop various camera sources that don't have good audio in them. How is dropping clips in the cut page affecting the master audio track?
all pages are linked so any audio adjust you do in any page is carried through.
I’ve been a little apprehensive about using cut page but I’m actually looking forward to it now. I discovered your channel yesterday and this is seriously good content, delivered with the aura and confidence of a Harley Street doctor. Nice, pace, nice voice, perfect studio, sound and lighting.
Thank You Dan. Glad to have you on board. The Cut Page is great but use with the Edit page swell. Plenty more episodes coming. Do you mind if I ask how you found my channel..? With it being new I'm trying to see where the traffic is coming from. Thank you for your kind comments. All the best, Darren
Darren Mostyn Hi Darren, your first ‘First Grade Sony A7Siii’ vídeo popped up so I watched that. I’ve watched quite a few videos on this camera so I guess that’s why it appeared.
@@danquixote6072 Thank you for letting me know. All the best, Darren.
Just got into DR, and started to play around with the cut page. Your video helps a lot. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
@@DarrenMostyn haha. Just totally f’d up my edit. Out of nowhere the track was 30 seconds shorter after tweaking it in cuts. Hmm.
Also realized that if tracks have a “red” end, i.e., no overlapping frames, transitions don’t always work.
Superb! Oddly this works a lot like FCP and is waaaaaaaaay faster than the Edit page. I just moved to Resolve and this will literally save me hours this week alone!
BTW its 'Lessen' not 'Lesson'
I know! It’s not perfect and many corrected me - hope not ruined the experience too much and you gained a lot of new knowledge! 🤦 im not going to change at nearly 200k views! All the best, Darren. 👍
Brilliant, thanks Darren. How had I not discovered 'place on top' before? Super valuable, that's going to save a ton of time.
I've come to love the cut page since its introduction, and feel I'm going to be loving it a whole lot more now, with all that you've explained. Thanks a mill.
the most useful resolve tut I've encountered.
Appreciated.
I ignored the cut page coming from Adobe a while ago. I figured I should finally look into it. Good video. I wish it had two screens.
Glad it was helpful!
Such a helpful and densely packed short video! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I can only repeat myself again and again: breathtakingly useful stuff! Thanks a lot, as always.
Thank you Will !
Highly recommended channel for Davinci Resolve beginners !! The marked chapters are icing on the cake, one can watch exactly what they need from a long video which I have been doing over & over again past weeks till I get it exactly. Thanks Darren for the detailed tutorial you have created in series.
This tutorial made me fall in love with the cut page. It's amazing. "If you click here you type +500 and it adds 5 seconds". How was I supposed to know that? 😅 Maybe I should the full resolve manual to find things like this. The cut page helps with many of my struggles in the edit page. I'll try to do more of my edit in the cut page from now on.
Hi Bartosz. 5 followed by 00 is a very old school edit technique for adding seconds and minutes. 5 . . will also become 5:00:00
I switched from Premiere to Resolve about a year ago and I love it. The ONLY thing is I can't seem to learn Fusion for anything. I have paid for courses and watched hours of tutorials but to no avail. So now I edit in Resolve and do my graphics and VFX in After Effects. Do you know of any fast way to have a better workflow with Resolve and AE?
The best tutorial on EDIT PAGE with everything important, an especially it is in detail! thank
Glad it worked for you. Appreciated.
Amazing. I wanted to use the cut page more because i loved the overall timeline view, and this makes it so clear. Source tape is a game changer too.
Thank you so much, I was making that mistake.
Glad I could help
