I second this. A good chunk of youtube is thumbnails and clickbait titles and been able to have recommendations by someone you trust for other parts of Davinci helps save a ton of time and fustration sifting through all the "luts" and "quick hack" videos.
For the life of me, I cannot understand how this 20 minute introduction to DaVinci doesn't have at least one like for every view! Darren, this is the best intro to anything i've ever seen. Bravo!
Im new to editing. Haven't used any software. I'm looking for that 2 hr. Media page tutorial. Then the 5 hr. CUT page with SPEED EDITOR covering every possible detail. Then a 10 hr. Tutorial bringing the 3 together to tell a story before moving on to the fine tuning pages. So many videos jump page to page and show what DR 18 can do, but don't cover the why you do it this way and then the how. Maybe YT doesn't pay enough. Create a subscription offer. Part 1 through 50 in 1 hr. tutorials. I've watched many DR 17 and spent more time trying to decipher the process because the layout is different. So DR 18.5 would be ideal. Yes, I've watched the Blackmagic DR 17 tutorials and can not keep up. Spent more time rewinding. If anyone can point me in the right direction to a full tutorial. Really appreciate it
I stopped at this channel purely because the presenter speaks British English, not American English. Then I found that he is knowledgeable and thorough as well, so I subscribed. 🙂
After having RUclips suggest this video to me and then watching it start to finish, I am moving over to DaVinci Resolve from Premiere Pro. Very helpful and insightful video. Many thanks.
I am totally vibing with your videos. I've gone through a few other channels, and this one is the best as I've found. Excellent pacing, clear, concise. Kudos Darren, natural teacher.
I worked in the television industry since 1993 and have worked on several non-linear editing systems including the IMIX Video Cube, Media 100, Premier, FInal Cut Pro and several others. I retired several years back and didn't think I would ever want to edit again but I've gotten the itch to do some stuff for myself lately. On a recommendation of a friend, I downloaded DaVinci and then found your channel. Thanks for helping me get started. Great job.
@@DarrenMostyn I had just finished college and moved back to my little home town of 20,000 people in the midwest and a small little cable station production house had the Imix Video Cube. That thing was an absolute beast. I remember them saying they had over $150,000 invested in it. Seems CRAZY to hear that kind of money today.
Probably one of the easiest and most interesting tutorials I have watched in a long time..... and I watch ALOT of tutorials. Will definitely be swapping over to Davinci from Premiere for my M2 MacBook Max
By happy coincidence, this was the FIRST Davinci Resolve video that I watched on RUclips. That was about 4 months ago. Since that time, I have watched a lot of video from you and from the others whom you recommend at the end of this video. It has meant a great deal to me that you took a minute to list them... especially by their areas of expertise. I am so fortunate to have this group of professionals as my go-to teachers. I feel like my DR journey started right here. Thank you. I will be attending your Masterclass May 18-21, 2024. Can't wait!
Just watched the RUclips channel Bigtime and saw in the comments people talking about davinci resolve. Instantly, I went searching and found your channel and boy am i impressed with firstly the software, but also the way you present the information clearly and make it easy to understand for a noob like me Top stuff !! Thank you sir
Perfect, I have been using DR for 2 years and this is the first time someone has clearly explained how it is set up. I kind of worked out to hide media and cut pages after several tutorials. I just use edit. I didn't know about libraries though. The one thing I dont like about iMovie is the whole library gets appended so it grows huge and you cannot just delete a few projects without screwing the file up.
THANK YOU SO MUCH this is the one video everyone starting anything looks for and rarely gets: going from a standing start. This has tamed a fairly overwhelming bit of kit :)
Been filming using a drone for about a year now, fairly new to all this. Discovered Davinci about 6 months ago this tutorial is very informative for newbies like me 👍👍 thank you
I'm 15 currently, and I have only used mobile editing apps until now. But this summer, I decided to develop a new skill to level up as a content creator or maybe a filmmaker (its my dream). And God got me here. Thank you sooo much for existing and making such amazing videos! Never stop doing what you're doing no matter what! You're making dreams come true!!! Thanks again😸🙏
Fantastic explainer - coming back to Resolve after a 6yr gap from doing a training course (and then discovering my old Mac couldn't handle it), this is a great way to start exploring again. Thank you.
Its about 300 USD. I just started getting into video editing in general and this video has proven to be quite helpful and well explained. A lot of the informational videos I have seen so far feels like they are speed running how to do things and I have to watch them a few times to understand what is going on.
Thank you for the insightful guide to DaVinci Resolve; it's been incredibly helpful for kick starting my video editing journey. Your clear instructions and tips have made the learning process much more accessible and enjoyable! Great jog sir!
Obviously late to this channel, But Thank heavens I found you. Last real editing I did was WMM (ouch) , I did do some Adobe and Sony decades ago. I found this software and was lost. after just this intro I feel I can use this tool. and now I feel the desire to create content again. Thank You so much!
A note on purchasing the Studio version. I was new to Resolve but purchased the Studio version at B&H Photo bundled with the Speed Editor. The price is $100 over the cost of just the license but well worth it in terms of convenience and learning to use the application.
I found an even better deal, a bundle of Studio and speed editor for the price of the license! I have yet to learn to use the speed editor like a pro, but it makes a big difference in precision and speed! And having the studio version paid once and done-good deal!
Thanks for this. I have never done any video editing and I downloaded DaVinci because it was free and came recommended. Turning it on was literally the most complex thing I was able to do with it. This is exactly what I needed to get started.
Thank you! 🙏♥️ I have been making/mixing/producing music for many years and finally decided to see what video editing was like. It was a bit overwhelming lol, but you've made it whelming 😋🙃
Thank you. Your presentation comes across very well. Genuine. In particular, when you give credit and mention your peers. It rounds up the belief factor.
I'm soooo glad I've stumbled across your channel thanks to this video, amazing! DR is quite daunting for people like me, who have pretty much never edited videos. Your video is exactly what I was looking for: short and high level explanations to understand how the program works. Brilliant. I'll certainly watch other videos from your channel and in the meantime, I've subscribed! It's also awesome you mention other channels. If only this would be a more common practice! Definitely helpful for the viewer, and as far as I'm concerned, this means you want something for yourself of course with your channel, but also truly for the greater good.
I had to step away from my training for a few months and just got back to it. I went to your channel and was thinking "I wish Darren had a beginner video" and behold, there it was!!! This was excellent, thanks so much for taking the time, and thx also for the recommendations at the end. I mainly stick to you and Cullen for no-nonsense training without the RUclips poser fluff, so I appreciate the quick summary of the channels you recommend. I'm sorry things sucked during Covid but this channel was a happy result; keep it coming. :)
Hey, I'm completely new to Davinci resolve, I found your Video really really helpful. Could you tell me if there's any playlist I could follow to go from like a 0 To HERO in video editing by learning everything step by step??
You are so welcome! Its amazing - please check out my well curated playlists including for beginners here ruclips.net/p/PL6VNHhfsVYJawp385IIyLemQL_ZBzgN_5
Darren, this is absolutely brilliant! I just bought DaVinci Resolve Studio after having used Premiere Pro for many years. This is the perfect tutorial to get started with Resolve. Thank you!!
This a tremendous tutorial! Loved it! I'm totally new to DaVinci and was anxious to use it for the first time. Your tutorial gave me a clear glimpse on how to better use it for my needs. Can't thank you enough.
Thank you Darren. I'm moving from PremPro ... the FX guy I'm now working with is on DVR, 500miles away, so I had to ... This has given me the perfect overview ... I have subscribed and look forward to your words of wisdom.
What an excellent introduction. You kept it simple (and I could see the struggle to do so), accessible, and you still did a great overview. Thanks so much for making this video! I'll be sure to check out your other ones.
Why are YT content creators so worried about their videos being long? This video is jam-packed with information and if he just were less worried about going over the 1hr mark it would have been even better than it already is Just to clarify: I want to start editing videos, have used Premiere Pro 20 years ago for a single project (lots of flexibility but also lot of hard work) and was trying to decide which of the big 3 to use. Each one has pros and cons, but Adobe’s subscription policy is really akin to getting someone addicted to a drug and then milking them by selling them the drug. That kinda rules out Premiere. This guy has just sold me to DaVinci Resolve, but there was no hurry. I would have happily watched a 1hr video on this subject…
Jeez Louise, that was a well-spent 40 minutes. (your vid X 2!!!) I'm not a slow kid but I need to understand things. I've been using another platform and have decided to change to Da Vinci. Having previously looked at it I didn't start because it seemed daunting. This makes it look far more manageable. I'm stoked to start producing. Thanks.
Darren, Thank You for the fast and experienced overview of Resolve! I look forward to learning the editing basics in Resolve. I got tired of Adobe's $54 per month for Premiere, etc... I just have a new little RUclips Channel about finding unique vehicles and getting them running and do restorations with veterans. All the Best Mate! Cheers!

About to start a new Danish RUclips channel :) Have chosen to use the free version of DaVinci Resolve. Your video is one of the best, if not the best to start out with. Thank you very much!
Literally just subscribed to every channel you suggested. (1 of which I already subscribed to.) Been using Resolve for a while already, but still learned a few things in the video. Thanks for the help and the suggestions!
Thanks for this! I'm a retired software engineer/now ambient musicia experimenting with abstract music videos for my tracks and using Visual Synthesizer to generate clips. I want to re-edit and re-score public domain movies, and a friend of mine turned me on to Resolve. This tutorial got me going with very few headaches (lol). Keep up the good work!
Great video!!! Thank you! I am starting a course of DR editing and had no idea how the interface worked... Now this video got me excited to start learning!
I have already seen different type of tutorial videos and this is the best guide video for beginners. Step by step everything is clear and easy with your videos. Thank you!
Thank you, I’ve been thinking to switch from Premiere Pro to Davinci Resolve and you make it easier to male the decision. Davinci Resolve look more user friendly than Premiere Pro.
@@DarrenMostyn i know but will get it right i figure how to cut and remove initial sound and add my voice and how to put it on my computer and get it on YT after i am not a geek lol
Firing on all cylinders! Many of us remember how intimidating this massive program can be when starting out. I certainly wish this video was available during my initial struggles!
Thank you so much for the effort you put in your videos. I can no longer afford my Adobe License and I was pretty bummed. But this video actually makes me excited to start exploring DaVinci now!
HI Darren, I'm a complete beginner, and I made a edited a few videos with Da Vinci last year, but I got bogged down. I just found this video, and I really like your style and delivery. I am hoping I will learn a lot. Thanks
Really enjoyed watching your video, just starting to learn DaVinci and was looking for a good set of tutorials to learn from. It looks like I have found your channel to learn the basics and then make the next steps up the ladder. Thank you for your time and talent.
I wanted to move from clipchamp to Davinci for the longest time but my PC was a potato. This video got me started with my first project. It is kind of overwelming but I like all the new things I can do. Thanks
Completely new to Video editing, really found your Newbies Guide so useful and has given me confidence to start doing some educational videos that i always wanted to do. One question - how did you get your screen shots onto your video, would be really interested to know - do you have a video on how to do this.
It is awesome for video editing I was given studio as a present but I am missing out on so much because i simply have no idea. Thank you for putting this video together.
Been watching your channel for quite some time now and even though I consider myself "knowing how to use Resolve" would love to buy your course if you're planning to create one.
Hi Darren, thank you for the great videos! I purchased the speed editor/studio lic and am going through all your videos to learn. Question: Do you use DaVinci to capture your screen and make your videos or do you use Camtasia to assemble your YT training videos? Thank you!
Your videos are amazing. Learning so much. I had a question. When you grade your footage, you can export a flat pass so it doesn't have your color grade...however if you've done any work in fusion on a clip, those changes get exported. Is there a way to export out the raw footage and ignore all your color and fusion work without having to go on each clip and deactivate the nodes?
Dear Darren, thank you for your tutorial. It really helped me getting started with my first editing experience in davinci resolve! I like the style of your video. Besides, while talking about style: Whats the brand of the shirt btw? 😁
I bought the speed editor last month and received a licence code for the studio version with the hardware. So I got the speed editor and DR Studio for £300. Very pleased!
Thanks Darren for your brilliant tutorials. I was wondering if by chance if you have created any videos on best workflows for when you are dealing with HDR and SDR deliverables with Davinci Studio. Do you have to do a second color grade or is there a faster way to adapt an HLG colour grade to Rec 709 with Davinci?
Been using vegas pro for about 4 years but looking to improve audio and colour correction/grading. This software looks really nice. I’ve used premier pro but found it slow for jump cutting which is what I primarily do.
Glad I found you Darren, these tutorials are going to be so helpful for me. I'm starting totally new with almost no experience with anything like this. In a few months I'll share an update.
Well done! I appreciate your teaching style and knowledge. Coming from FCP, but I’ve struggled with color for years. I bought a Colorite Passport, and am giving this a shot. And that’s after buying a brand new iPad M4 max because the rollout showed them using four iPhones with the iPad and Final Cut Pro. The colors are absolutely terrible. Looking forward to learning something new. Will also check to see if you have anything on lighting. Lighting is another thing I’ve struggled with. I would love to see somebody come out with a video that is a simple light set up for instructional videos…we do fused glass videos, and minimizing shadows and having overall great lighting is an necessity. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the generous donation. Appreciated. I dont deal with lighting on shoots as I am purely a colourist, so I add light in post if it needs it. Thanks for joining my channel! All the best, darren
Fantastic intro - thankyou! I came back from a holiday in Rarotonga with a bunch of 4k go-pro snorkeling footage, only to find Videostudio not handling the big files. So downloaded DaVinci Resolve and wanting to learn quickly how to create a project, fix the underwater colours, crop and trim etc. Looks like I've come to the right place! One organisation question - Would you recommend I work with the big video files on my harddisk (and the project file on my SSD), or should I move them to my SSD for performance in creating the project and then rendering final movie? I'm guessing that if I move to the SSD, then I'm committed to keeping them there or the project links won't be there in the future? (unless I can make the links to the media files relative to the project file?). Thanks!

Noted. Thank you
Thank you! This is the best introduction I found on RUclips. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm learning so much from your videos, thank you for taking the time to produce them.
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much for this valuable video! Clear and straight to the point.
New to Resolve here - mainly for Color Stabilization for my film restoration projects. Thanks!
About to start a new Danish RUclips channel :) Have chosen to use the free version of DaVinci Resolve. Your video is one of the best, if not the best to start out with. Thank you very much!
Best of luck!
Thank you so much for this first really helpful look! We are looking into switching to DaVinci and I am pretty impressed. Can't wait to go in deeper.
you are a great teacher Darren. have you ever considered doing a full course ? if not, then please do :)
seems like 6:50 when the program gets opened, but i like the voice of teacher and i enjoy that video thus far, gonna learn much from him/you thank u
Literally just subscribed to every channel you suggested. (1 of which I already subscribed to.) Been using Resolve for a while already, but still learned a few things in the video. Thanks for the help and the suggestions!
Thanks for this! I'm a retired software engineer/now ambient musicia experimenting with abstract music videos for my tracks and using Visual Synthesizer to generate clips. I want to re-edit and re-score public domain movies, and a friend of mine turned me on to Resolve. This tutorial got me going with very few headaches (lol). Keep up the good work!
wish you well Edward.
Great video!!! Thank you! I am starting a course of DR editing and had no idea how the interface worked... Now this video got me excited to start learning!
I have already seen different type of tutorial videos and this is the best guide video for beginners. Step by step everything is clear and easy with your videos. Thank you!
thank you
Great quick introduction Darren! Appreciate the shout out. Humbled to be mentioned by you alongside some of those other great teachers.
About time I mentioned your channel Alex. A good solid resource!!
Thank you, I appreciate your focus, clarity, and positive energy.
I appreciate that!
Thank you, I’ve been thinking to switch from Premiere Pro to Davinci Resolve and you make it easier to male the decision. Davinci Resolve look more user friendly than Premiere Pro.
Glad I could help!
i just start using it since last week, still a lot to learn/ free version
Enjoy! Lots to learn!!
@@DarrenMostyn i know but will get it right i figure how to cut and remove initial sound and add my voice and how to put it on my computer and get it on YT after i am not a geek lol
Firing on all cylinders! Many of us remember how intimidating this massive program can be when starting out. I certainly wish this video was available during my initial struggles!
me too!!!!
There were NO RUclips videos on Resolve when I started!
Thank you so much for the effort you put in your videos. I can no longer afford my Adobe License and I was pretty bummed. But this video actually makes me excited to start exploring DaVinci now!
Ok, this seems WAY over my head, but yet you still didn't scare me away, I'm subscribed to keep up now. Thanks, and GREAT video!!!
I'm sick of cloud subscription software, this is amazing, just downloaded it. Thanks for the video.
welcome to resolve
HI Darren, I'm a complete beginner, and I made a edited a few videos with Da Vinci last year, but I got bogged down.
I just found this video, and I really like your style and delivery. I am hoping I will learn a lot.
Thanks
Really enjoyed watching your video, just starting to learn DaVinci and was looking for a good set of tutorials to learn from. It looks like I have found your channel to learn the basics and then make the next steps up the ladder. Thank you for your time and talent.
Really a joy to listen to you explaining DaVinci ! Thank you for the video
Glad it was helpful!
Darren, this is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing. Absolute goldmine of information
Glad it was helpful!
You sir are a master. Straight forward. You demystified this thing
thank you
I wanted to move from clipchamp to Davinci for the longest time but my PC was a potato. This video got me started with my first project. It is kind of overwelming but I like all the new things I can do.
Thanks
Glad I could help!
Completely new to Video editing, really found your Newbies Guide so useful and has given me confidence to start doing some educational videos that i always wanted to do. One question - how did you get your screen shots onto your video, would be really interested to know - do you have a video on how to do this.
It is awesome for video editing I was given studio as a present but I am missing out on so much because i simply have no idea. Thank you for putting this video together.
This is the best introduction video I have seen. Thank you so much. And congrats on you 100k subscribers.
thank you very much!!
Been watching your channel for quite some time now and even though I consider myself "knowing how to use Resolve" would love to buy your course if you're planning to create one.
just announced - hope you saw - ruclips.net/user/liveNaBxHT7ALCY
Hi Darren, thank you for the great videos!
I purchased the speed editor/studio lic and am going through all your videos to learn.
Question: Do you use DaVinci to capture your screen and make your videos or do you use Camtasia to assemble your YT training videos?
Thank you!
Your videos are amazing. Learning so much. I had a question. When you grade your footage, you can export a flat pass so it doesn't have your color grade...however if you've done any work in fusion on a clip, those changes get exported. Is there a way to export out the raw footage and ignore all your color and fusion work without having to go on each clip and deactivate the nodes?
Thanks man - I keep re-watching this to edit and upload my first couple of youtube vids. Really helpful thank you!
Glad it helped!
This is such useful material for beginners, I cannot thank you enough, cheers, and congrats on your imminent 100k subs
Thanks a million! I mean 100,000 !!
Dear Darren, thank you for your tutorial. It really helped me getting started with my first editing experience in davinci resolve! I like the style of your video. Besides, while talking about style: Whats the brand of the shirt btw? 😁
I bought the speed editor last month and received a licence code for the studio version with the hardware. So I got the speed editor and DR Studio for £300. Very pleased!
great investment ! enjoy!!
This is great! I’m tired of the Adobe subscription model. As a serious home user it makes no sense. Resolve looks to be the answer.
you wont regret changing.
Darren, again, a wonderful job. Do you think about doing an other newbies guide (an update) with the version 19 which is out ?
Thanks Darren for your brilliant tutorials. I was wondering if by chance if you have created any videos on best workflows for when you are dealing with HDR and SDR deliverables with Davinci Studio. Do you have to do a second color grade or is there a faster way to adapt an HLG colour grade to Rec 709 with Davinci?
The best beginner's guide I've seen yet. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you.
I usually Use Filmora mostly, Which is very hard for me to edit on another editing software but this video was very helpful.
Been using vegas pro for about 4 years but looking to improve audio and colour correction/grading. This software looks really nice. I’ve used premier pro but found it slow for jump cutting which is what I primarily do.
Glad I found you Darren, these tutorials are going to be so helpful for me. I'm starting totally new with almost no experience with anything like this. In a few months I'll share an update.
I'd love to read an update, if you have one. Cheers!
Well done! I appreciate your teaching style and knowledge. Coming from FCP, but I’ve struggled with color for years. I bought a Colorite Passport, and am giving this a shot. And that’s after buying a brand new iPad M4 max because the rollout showed them using four iPhones with the iPad and Final Cut Pro. The colors are absolutely terrible. Looking forward to learning something new.
Will also check to see if you have anything on lighting. Lighting is another thing I’ve struggled with. I would love to see somebody come out with a video that is a simple light set up for instructional videos…we do fused glass videos, and minimizing shadows and having overall great lighting is an necessity. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for the generous donation. Appreciated. I dont deal with lighting on shoots as I am purely a colourist, so I add light in post if it needs it. Thanks for joining my channel! All the best, darren
Migrating out of Adobe, thanks for the info!
Do it!! No regrets!
Fantastic intro - thankyou! I came back from a holiday in Rarotonga with a bunch of 4k go-pro snorkeling footage, only to find Videostudio not handling the big files. So downloaded DaVinci Resolve and wanting to learn quickly how to create a project, fix the underwater colours, crop and trim etc. Looks like I've come to the right place! One organisation question - Would you recommend I work with the big video files on my harddisk (and the project file on my SSD), or should I move them to my SSD for performance in creating the project and then rendering final movie? I'm guessing that if I move to the SSD, then I'm committed to keeping them there or the project links won't be there in the future? (unless I can make the links to the media files relative to the project file?). Thanks!
