I don't use Adobe AE, so how do I export a preset to Resolve? how do I save a preset? Right, well where is no 2 tutorial?
Boris FX has chaotic set of tutorials

[@BorisFXco]

We've got a lot of products and support a lot of hosts. Sorry the tutorials seem chaotic. If you want the whole Sapphire Essentials course, it's available here : borisfx.com/free-training/sapphire-essentials/
You can also filter by product and host type in our main free tutorials section on the Boris FX website. borisfx.com/videos/
I answered your other questions in the other comment you left.

[@stevesculptor1]

Well if I create something the first thing I want is, how and where to save it, how and where to export it, this tutorial (and all 10 out of 11) opens and spends most of the time in AE, and so do most of the others, by chaotic I mean why not stack tuts under Resolve, and AE etc. Sorry I'm not a griper, it's just frustrating trying to get going. So where do I go if I don't want to buy into Adobe? Thx@@BorisFXco

[@BorisFXco]

Thanks for the feedback. It is appreciated.
We have "search by host" on the Boris FX training page : borisfx.com/videos/?tags=host:Blackmagic%20DaVinci%20Resolve&search=
Most of the effects work the same once you're using them regardless of host. But I can see we need to spend some more time with Resolve as the hero app.
