Hello, hopefully you enjoyed this video! It was probably the most experimental video on this channel thus far, so I wasn't sure how it will end up. I personally really enjoyed making it though, and I think some of the next videos are going to be way more experimental than this one! And thanks for watching, especially if you made it to the end!
I know I'm late but I would recommend Hitfilm. It is basically premiere and after effect mixed together into one software. It is free (basic verison) and has quite a few effects (of course, not as many as the pro version) but maybe it's worth checking it out.
As another commenter pointed out, your GPU issues could have to do with the age of your GPU, but it could also be that DaVinci Resolve software for some reason saves some frames in the GPU VRAM after pre-rendering your video preview and thus overloads the GPU memory. All the luck to you though, this was a great video and I'm excited to see new videos by you soon!
Video editing is one of those programs where no program is doing everything good, it's always missing something that the competitor has, there needs to be a Blender for Video Editing.
Love the video! I'm a freelance video editor who's been using Premiere for 5 years, but I've finally hit my breaking point because it's buggy, unstable and freezes way too often. I can't rely on it anymore. So I've been learning and slowly switching over to Resolve. It's been going okay, but, Resolve has it's own bugs and issues. Sometimes it won't undo, things will go missing, markers won't go down no matter how many times you click them, and after a while, footage playback gets choppy even though I made proxies. A lot of people are fed up with Premiere and they're switching. Blackmagic would be smart if they make Resolve super rock solid and with little to no bugs. Now's their chance! Hopefully, they don't go the Adobe route of shoving more and more features into the software and neglecting stability.
i really like this video. by this way of "exploring" i think it has taught me (a total noob in editing) more about the subject than an actual editing tutorial would
For someone who's also been stuck on VEGAS for the longest time, it's great to see you try this software from that perspective. Little things like not being able to move your cursor by just clicking anywhere on the timeline is such a minor but annoying nag that it instantly makes me want to quit the software. Seeing you push past it and properly take time to learn it's nuances is really encouraging though. On the other hand, it's nice seeing someone praise VEGAS for it's ease of use. It really is the easiest editor to just jump straight into. I think for simple but effective editing it really is at the top. It's just a shame it's stuck where it is :(
Being able to move your cursor with a click on the timeline is literally an objectively good feature, and being able to zoom in and out just by scrolling (not by holding alt + scrolling) is as well, as its more common most of the time. Those are just 2 small things, but like you said, they are extremely important. Premiere had the same issue, and that's why I just like you, made me instantly quit. And yeah, timeline editing in Vegas is EXTREMELY well designed. Just because Adobe Premiere is more popular, doesn't mean its UX is necessarily better, and sadly due to its popularity, other apps are just replicating it.
I rmb as a kid me and my friends got to the top of the leaderboards of some TPS game and got bored so we just messed around making skits in-game with fraps and windows movie maker. Good Times. Also look into optimized media for smooth playbacks. Tons of videos and remedies on this topic.
Man seeing someone stumble across and explore a new program like this is wicked. I yelled so many times at my screen at the start about very obvious thing to me, as if you would hear me 😂. I've been using Resolve myself for over 2 years now and I've been having a blast. As someone that only used Premiere Pro before switching to DaVinci on an awful PC, I didn't care for any of the features, because I would have to literally re-make small videos over and over, and over again, because of the crashing. The way I learned is pretty similar to yours, except I never looked through generalized, official tutorials, (might be why my videos aren't that impressive) but rather community-made ones for specific goals that I wanted to achieve in the video I was making (rotoscoping, camera tracking, a specific visual effect, etc.). I hope to see you make another video in the future with your experiences with the program after prolonged use. This was very eye-opening 👍
Hi! I think I know what the problem is with the GPU, since I've been working in Davinci for three years now. It's about the plugin you're using. Sapphire is very unstable. Both in Davinci and Premiere Pro. And the newer version you use, the more unstable the plugin becomes. Felt it first hand and try to use it as little as possible. A good alternative to this plugin is Universe.
Came from your Linux video, I really appreciated seeing your process - I had no idea there were nice official tutorials that I could take a look at! Will have to try those out. I'm interested in the points that you made at the end of the video. I myself am very very comfortable in Premiere, but like many others have realized, the cost is just way too much to justify if my work isn't paying for it. I've also not properly made a full video in years, so I'm in a weird spot where learning a new program feels like it would hinder my video-making process, especially if I already know how to use Premiere and can just jump in to it using all the workflows that I have already learned. I found it inspiring that even though you had been a diehard Vegas user for 6+ years, you were willing to try something new. I've always thought "there's no reason to change, this is going to be a waste of time and I'll just end up going back to Premiere. We'll see how it goes I guess.
also tried davinci resolve after you said you will be trying it out in some other video, i dont know if im just making too basic videos but i havent run in to the gpu memory issues yet
It's interesting seeing you use some of the tools you used for language learning for this. I tried and used so many tools, techniques and stategies for my japanese and I wonder what is will be like to start something new with all the metaskills I learned after I get to a good place with japanese. Do you feel like you got more confident learning new things now?
I'm definitely more confident towards learning new things now than I was lets say 10 years ago. A lot of it is actually from learning programming and machine learning, etc, but learning Japanese showed what consistency and "immersion" can do, as well as taught me about things such as Anki, which I've used for non language learning things with great success as well.
Interesting with my PoV of kdenlive. I hear a lot about DaVinci Resolve lately and I envy the effects which kdenlive is kinda short of. I'm going to come out of my comfort zone and check this too someday but not yet as there are more pressing projects going on right now.
As of the time of this comment, this is probably the only video on RUclips I've seen where someone tried using Resolve from a Vegas Pro perspective. Coming from Vegas Pro, using the timeline in Resolve is like you said, "not intuitive" in comparison. For example, you can't move the Video/Audio tracks up and down the timeline freely like in Vegas Pro, which was feature I surely missed. But even when there's a learning curve for using Resolve (like learning a new skill), I still prefer Resolve over Vegas Pro anytime. It's got VFX compositions, color, and audio built into the program and it supports the plugins I had from Vegas Pro. I don't know what the experience is like from someone who switched from Premiere Pro, but from a Vegas Pro user, this is amazing. With that said, thank you for the video about this!
I adore your channel, your insights into self-learning is very passionate. You make it easy to look for easy advise on learning something especially languages.
Hey people, DaVinci Resolve is a very good program, the basic editing features are easy and most complex ones are very straight forward, used in the industry, etc, etc so go ahead and learn it, it is even better than Premiere.
Thanks for thoses amazing vid as always livakiwi. Your videos inspired me to start learning japanese 1 year ago and today you made me want to go back to youtube and start editing again!
This isn’t the best video to say this but thank you for inspiring me to learn Japanese and remind me to keep motivated with stuff I want to improve on. Love u
FYI, Davinci Resolve has been around since the 80s and used in pretty much all Hollywood movies and TV shows for color grading. It used to cost upwards of 800k with consoles. After Blackmagic lowered the price, it was still 27k a decade ago and only 1k few years ago. And now it has a free version lol. It only has been a editing software for less than a decade. I'd recommend watching some beginner tutorials on YT before jumping in the software headfirst. Also, other than some premade effects and resolution cap, not much stuff is behind the pay wall, I use the free version to edit for clients. Also, you can make your own effects in the Fusion page or download presets and plugins to bypass those paid effects. 16:25, you can reset the FX strokes in the FX tab or use the negative strokes to remove some of the selection. 16:38 although you can't see keyframes for the Fusion effects on the edit page, the quick workaround would be to click on the go to Fusion button under the FX tab and then open up the keyframe/spline editor and adjust your keyframe there. Altough Resolve has been around for a while and used in pretty much every big budget Hollywood movies (hence the high hardware requirements), they've only added editing features in the last decade. They've also bought Fusion and implemented it in Resolve (used to be standalone and cost 6k, was used in 1000s of Hollywood movies for VFX) and also bought fairlight. In just last few versions, Resolve has added more features and fixed more bugs than adobe has done in the last 2 decades. BM gets most of the revenue from their hardware sales which is why they don't depend on selling Resolve hence it doesn't cost an arm and a leg nor it has subscription which is also the CEO of BM against. Considering the motivation of the company and the fact most people switch it to because how buggy and unstable Premiere is, Davinci Resolve is a godsend to save every amateur and pro video editors on earth.
I've been using DaVinci Resolve for all my videos for over a year now so I've become quite experienced with it, but I still have tons of gripes with it due to the incredible amount of bugs, horrible UX issues and just outright design flaws that it has (I have a whole list and collection of screen recordings of those bugs and issues as well). To just bring an example of a bug, here is an example of a horrible bug introduced in version 18 that I've lost a lot of work to multiple times: forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=165276 However, despite all that, I've still kept on using DR instead of moving to something like Premiere + AE (though I occasionally still use AE as its just a fantastic piece of software). While DaVinci has issues that are probably going to make me bald by the age of 35, it has nailed some of the fundamentals that Premiere Pro is still missing, such as being able to zoom into the preview window easily with the scrollwheel and move around, or being able to move tracks up and down and so on. BM team is indeed doing fantastic work improving the software, just a few days ago, patch 18.6 was released which introduced outer stroke (not just inner) for Text (not +) subtitles, which was something which I found ridiculous that was missing just a few videos ago. I really wish the keyframe/velocity editor in the Edit page was as good as it is on Premiere or AE, since right now its borderline unusable and you can find lots of threads in the forums as to why. But since DR has had massive updates in only a few years, I hope that they eventually will start working on that as well, which is why I still keep on using it.
Awesome video, I thought you were gonna drop it for a second. Do you have any tips on learning how to video edit from zero? Play around first? Or jump into tutorials? It's a daunting wall I've always wanted to try to get into
I personally just played around, and when I wanted to do something like add a flashing light, I searched for a youtube tutorial for the program I was using. Courses and stuff can be a great starting point, yeah, but depends on how deep you want to get.
I do, but I'm not entirely happy with resolve and tbh I think I'd be overall more happy with premiere and after effects combined, but for many people the things that I don't like about resolve are completely irrelevant because the videos they make are probably in a different style. I'll most likely make a video on resolve in the future.
Hi, livakivi. I'm been studying japanese for about 400 days thanks to you. Also, i have a question about the 2k/6k deck. You see, the format of the cards that you configure was really hard for me. So I decided to change that. And I put the image, the sentence and the audio in the front of the card. Even if I am not too very efficient I think is more enjoyable for me. And I think that once I finish it. I will reseat the deck and put it your way. But obviously I think that I will spend half of my time doing that. What do you think? (Yeah, I know that my English is not quite perfect. But I tried the best that I can 😅)
If that's what keeps you consistent, then its better than keeping it the default way and giving up! I don't actually think you should reset the deck after you're done with it, better to just move on to sentence mining at that point.
@@Livakivi Thank you bro. And i also noticed that learned kanji in context is better that do it individually. Cuz i think that the time that i spent learning kanji individually (I used a deck that i found on the internet) was like a waste of time that i can used it in learned new words.
LOL this is the most I've laughed at a video in a while. As a Resolve connosieur, it was frustrating to see you just try to move Doge around but I cracked up when you were like "This is some anime effects..." Yeah Resolve is a bit weird in places but it's so damn powerful with just a bit of knowledge. In fact I often feel guilty for using it to the very basic level that I do, when it has so much more power under the hood. If you haven't found them already check out Casey Farriss and Mr Alex Tech.
@@Livakivi Hmm, strange, I don't use the Beta versions so maybe that's it but I have Studio and I don't get many bugs. I have had one REALLY annoying one two times (same bug) but that's all I can report.
I often have bugs coming from fusion back to the edit page and the output being different, as well as keyframe smoothing on zoom+pan being a mess, and thing such as the shift+r shortcut for freeze frame working 1 out of 100 times and so on.
George from Japanese From Zero has a trade mark on "From Zero" which he has to protect (oftentimes by suing people), so just a heads up that it might be a good idea to change the thumbnail to "From Scratch" or something 👍.
man when i see how much you get done and how much you learned i feel like a failure. how old where you when you started being so productive and how old are you now? come on man i need to feel better by knowing that you are just older lol
I personally don't feel like its that much, you can learn a lot and go past me in some field like video editing, machine learning, japanese, etc, in just a few years if you put in the hours and consistency. I jump around different fields all the time, so I have decent knowledge and experience in the fields I'm active in, but I'm not a master in any of them.
I have 6 gb videocard and davinci is working just fine. Though I've acquired the pro version - with it you can prerender your videos by gpu and also render them with amd or Nvidia codecs. Also there are plenty reducing lag of pre render options. I mean i have 5600xt and i work with 4k footage and any effect i put i can see clearly in a matter of seconds. Also you should uncheck the box in the system settings that says "Show error if some frames weren't able to render" or something. For some reason this message can ruin your rendering process at different places. Without this error the same project was completely fine and without glitches.
I'm going to make a followup video soon, probably on the second channel, going more in depth about issues I'm having with Resolve. To some extent, its unusable (or rather, so extremely inefficient that its not worth using) for me right now, which is why I ended up not using it right now.
I'm guessing the major issue here is that your GPU's over the average age of a first grader :D Increasing GPU memory is, to the extent of my knowledge, the only way to fix this
Not related to the video at all, but I wanted to ask you, how long did it take you to start reading kana with the same pace and ease, as reading the Latin alphabet? Great video btw! All though I have no interest (at least for now ) learning DaVinci Resolve I watched the whole video without skipping it.
Its kind of a hard question to answer because I feel like its not so easy to compare. I'm not sure if I read it at the same ease, I mean sometimes it could be even easier, but Japanese just works really differently, because of also having kanji. Sometimes the hardest part of the sentence is the hiragana, but that's not because its hard to recognize the kana, but because I'm trying to figure out what word it is, or how is it connected to the previous word, or what is the extent of the word (because Japanese doesn't use spaces). That's why its so hard to read Japanese when you remove the kanji and only keep hiragana. But for katakana, since its way less frequent, its still sometimes taking me a bit to read long katakana words correctly. But well, if I had to give an answer, then perhaps some months for simpler words, and a few years to not even think about it anymore.
@@Livakivi Thank you very much for the reply. As someone who decided to give it a shot learning Japanese, I of course learned hiragana and right after it katakana. So I can read, write and recognise all of the characters and the different sound combinations. The part that got me curious, about how long it takes to get this kind of familiarity with both hiragana and kataka, was the exact reason you mentioned. Separately the characters are readable for me just as the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet, but when put in a word it is a bit of a struggle to read them together and instantly regonise the meaning. Anyways I have been learning just for two weeks now and all though I have been studying everyday, it was not always for a long time, so that's the reason why I have this problem, but still wanted to ask.
this makes me feel less insane for having an awful time with davinci resolve half the time the play button didn't work on the preview, sometimes it would come up as static, i got a lot of those GPU errors just on opening an empty file, and the weirdest issue was trying to render a video under 10 seconds and the render time slowly ticking up until it was giving me an estimate in days on how long it'd take to render and would never actually render it. i can't even open projects that originally worked fine without it seemingly corrupting on occasion but being fine other times. when i googled it all the info was way beyond my level of comprehension so now I just have no trust for the program
The reason I wanted to switch from Vegas 13 was because it was limiting for me in terms of capability, and to some extent, performance. I spend tens to hundreds of hours on editing when making a video, and for that I need a tool that's as good as possible, I can't afford any bugs, performance issues, or limiting factors. Kdenlive isn't as mature as Resolve unfortunately, even though its free and open source, it isn't enough for me. I actually started making a video in Resolve, and I ran into an small but significant issue that makes Resolve pretty much unusable for me. Its a wrong implementation of keyframe smoothing for the pan/zoom in the editor page, and the workflow to get around that issue is extremely slow, so comes out that Resolve isn't "good enough" for me either, because I can't do work with it properly. That issue has been known on the forums for 5+ years, and its an active thread in 2022, yet it hasn't been fixed, so until then, I'll most likely use a more mature editing stack, such as an endless trial of Premiere + After Effects.
Hey so I am about to ask a question related to japanese although this is not a video about japanese because this is almost the only communuity which answers questions. Anyways my question is how good is listening to native audio and reading japanese subs for your langauge learning? I know that language is learned better within the langauge itself but I never heared anyone question how good is the other way around.
I hope I'm understanding the question correctly, in which case, have you seen this segment from a recent video of mine? It should literally answer that question: ruclips.net/video/edIAsm_xrJ8/видео.html
@@Livakivi First of all thank you very much for answering. This did solve some confusion I had but my question is how good is listening to english audio with Japanese subtitles? Is it as effective as listening to Japanese with Japanese subtitles or worse? I personally think that people will still learn but they will have a weak foundation in Japanese because they relied on their language more than Japanese. These are just my thoughts, I would like to know about your thoughts.
Not this video, but I'll probably make an update video on this video in the near future! As a short spoiler, the part 1 of the house renovation series was not made in Resolve (nor Vegas), but I'm currently working on part 2 in Resolve this time.
@@Livakivi Ah i see, i wish you good luck with it :) I think resolve can be really efficient and time saving when using the keybinds properly. Also, the media tab can safe alot of time for pre/raw editing. But you probably already know this by now ^^ Looking forward for part 2 :D
hahaha xD I'm glad to see that you're trying out resolve, Davinci Resolve is pretty cool and I hope you'll eventually get use to it. I started out with Davinci so It's cute to see your first experiences trying it out. I made a MV edit with Davinci Resolve here: ruclips.net/video/0uhNXFO3n4M/видео.html of course I'm going to make more but I'm still learning more stuff about Davinci and I hope I'll get better at it later.
Nice. I am most likely going to make a follow-up video about Resolve, I ran into a really "small" issue, but its a design flaw with a specific feature which unfortunately makes Resolve nearly unusable for me if they dont fix it. Maybe it will be a video after the next, or perhaps it will be on the second channel.
Hello, hopefully you enjoyed this video! It was probably the most experimental video on this channel thus far, so I wasn't sure how it will end up.
I personally really enjoyed making it though, and I think some of the next videos are going to be way more experimental than this one!

Considering the motivation of the company and the fact most people switch it to because how buggy and unstable Premiere is, Davinci Resolve is a godsend to save every amateur and pro video editors on earth.
I've been using DaVinci Resolve for all my videos for over a year now so I've become quite experienced with it, but I still have tons of gripes with it due to the incredible amount of bugs, horrible UX issues and just outright design flaws that it has (I have a whole list and collection of screen recordings of those bugs and issues as well).
To just bring an example of a bug, here is an example of a horrible bug introduced in version 18 that I've lost a lot of work to multiple times: forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=165276
However, despite all that, I've still kept on using DR instead of moving to something like Premiere + AE (though I occasionally still use AE as its just a fantastic piece of software).
While DaVinci has issues that are probably going to make me bald by the age of 35, it has nailed some of the fundamentals that Premiere Pro is still missing, such as being able to zoom into the preview window easily with the scrollwheel and move around, or being able to move tracks up and down and so on. BM team is indeed doing fantastic work improving the software, just a few days ago, patch 18.6 was released which introduced outer stroke (not just inner) for Text (not +) subtitles, which was something which I found ridiculous that was missing just a few videos ago.
I really wish the keyframe/velocity editor in the Edit page was as good as it is on Premiere or AE, since right now its borderline unusable and you can find lots of threads in the forums as to why.
But since DR has had massive updates in only a few years, I hope that they eventually will start working on that as well, which is why I still keep on using it.
You got me at 6:13 😂
Awesome video, I thought you were gonna drop it for a second. Do you have any tips on learning how to video edit from zero? Play around first? Or jump into tutorials? It's a daunting wall I've always wanted to try to get into
I personally just played around, and when I wanted to do something like add a flashing light, I searched for a youtube tutorial for the program I was using. Courses and stuff can be a great starting point, yeah, but depends on how deep you want to get.
I am watching this video, and I am having a good time so thanks 🤝🏻😉
I want to see you try out filmora, self exploration of software would be a blast.
Hey, do you still use resolve? My adobe subscription is about to run out so I'm wondering if it's worth it to jump ship lol
I do, but I'm not entirely happy with resolve and tbh I think I'd be overall more happy with premiere and after effects combined, but for many people the things that I don't like about resolve are completely irrelevant because the videos they make are probably in a different style. I'll most likely make a video on resolve in the future.
video idea after affects vs adobe premiere pro vs davinci resolve vs sony vegas vs kdenlive
Liv I feel like we’ve been friends for ages
Hi, livakivi. I'm been studying japanese for about 400 days thanks to you. Also, i have a question about the 2k/6k deck. You see, the format of the cards that you configure was really hard for me. So I decided to change that. And I put the image, the sentence and the audio in the front of the card. Even if I am not too very efficient I think is more enjoyable for me. And I think that once I finish it. I will reseat the deck and put it your way. But obviously I think that I will spend half of my time doing that. What do you think? (Yeah, I know that my English is not quite perfect. But I tried the best that I can 😅)
If that's what keeps you consistent, then its better than keeping it the default way and giving up! I don't actually think you should reset the deck after you're done with it, better to just move on to sentence mining at that point.
@@Livakivi Thank you bro. And i also noticed that learned kanji in context is better that do it individually. Cuz i think that the time that i spent learning kanji individually (I used a deck that i found on the internet) was like a waste of time that i can used it in learned new words.
Loved the video!
Lets gooo another Livakivi video.
6:14 I laughed out loud
LOL this is the most I've laughed at a video in a while. As a Resolve connosieur, it was frustrating to see you just try to move Doge around but I cracked up when you were like "This is some anime effects..."
Yeah Resolve is a bit weird in places but it's so damn powerful with just a bit of knowledge. In fact I often feel guilty for using it to the very basic level that I do, when it has so much more power under the hood.
If you haven't found them already check out Casey Farriss and Mr Alex Tech.
I ended up getting the studio version of Resolve, and I feel like its the best but also the buggiest piece of software ive ever used haha
@@Livakivi Hmm, strange, I don't use the Beta versions so maybe that's it but I have Studio and I don't get many bugs. I have had one REALLY annoying one two times (same bug) but that's all I can report.
I often have bugs coming from fusion back to the edit page and the output being different, as well as keyframe smoothing on zoom+pan being a mess, and thing such as the shift+r shortcut for freeze frame working 1 out of 100 times and so on.
@@Livakivi Strange.
I just got Studio 18 so I'll see how I go.
Gonna check out Seto Koji now
George from Japanese From Zero has a trade mark on "From Zero" which he has to protect (oftentimes by suing people), so just a heads up that it might be a good idea to change the thumbnail to "From Scratch" or something 👍.
lmao
@@Livakivi ye, I know 😅
nice!!
Why the duck did my dumb bass unsub from you am I dumb nice vid brooo
man when i see how much you get done and how much you learned i feel like a failure. how old where you when you started being so productive and how old are you now? come on man i need to feel better by knowing that you are just older lol
I personally don't feel like its that much, you can learn a lot and go past me in some field like video editing, machine learning, japanese, etc, in just a few years if you put in the hours and consistency. I jump around different fields all the time, so I have decent knowledge and experience in the fields I'm active in, but I'm not a master in any of them.
I have 6 gb videocard and davinci is working just fine. Though I've acquired the pro version - with it you can prerender your videos by gpu and also render them with amd or Nvidia codecs. Also there are plenty reducing lag of pre render options. I mean i have 5600xt and i work with 4k footage and any effect i put i can see clearly in a matter of seconds.
Also you should uncheck the box in the system settings that says "Show error if some frames weren't able to render" or something. For some reason this message can ruin your rendering process at different places. Without this error the same project was completely fine and without glitches.
I'm going to make a followup video soon, probably on the second channel, going more in depth about issues I'm having with Resolve. To some extent, its unusable (or rather, so extremely inefficient that its not worth using) for me right now, which is why I ended up not using it right now.
Hi !
hi
Nice!
I'm guessing the major issue here is that your GPU's over the average age of a first grader :D
Increasing GPU memory is, to the extent of my knowledge, the only way to fix this
Resolve is great 👍 😊!!!!
Not related to the video at all, but I wanted to ask you, how long did it take you to start reading kana with the same pace and ease, as reading the Latin alphabet?
Great video btw! All though I have no interest (at least for now ) learning DaVinci Resolve I watched the whole video without skipping it.
Its kind of a hard question to answer because I feel like its not so easy to compare. I'm not sure if I read it at the same ease, I mean sometimes it could be even easier, but Japanese just works really differently, because of also having kanji.
Sometimes the hardest part of the sentence is the hiragana, but that's not because its hard to recognize the kana, but because I'm trying to figure out what word it is, or how is it connected to the previous word, or what is the extent of the word (because Japanese doesn't use spaces). That's why its so hard to read Japanese when you remove the kanji and only keep hiragana.
But for katakana, since its way less frequent, its still sometimes taking me a bit to read long katakana words correctly.
But well, if I had to give an answer, then perhaps some months for simpler words, and a few years to not even think about it anymore.
@@Livakivi Thank you very much for the reply. As someone who decided to give it a shot learning Japanese, I of course learned hiragana and right after it katakana. So I can read, write and recognise all of the characters and the different sound combinations. The part that got me curious, about how long it takes to get this kind of familiarity with both hiragana and kataka, was the exact reason you mentioned. Separately the characters are readable for me just as the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet, but when put in a word it is a bit of a struggle to read them together and instantly regonise the meaning. Anyways I have been learning just for two weeks now and all though I have been studying everyday, it was not always for a long time, so that's the reason why I have this problem, but still wanted to ask.
this makes me feel less insane for having an awful time with davinci resolve
half the time the play button didn't work on the preview, sometimes it would come up as static, i got a lot of those GPU errors just on opening an empty file, and the weirdest issue was trying to render a video under 10 seconds and the render time slowly ticking up until it was giving me an estimate in days on how long it'd take to render and would never actually render it. i can't even open projects that originally worked fine without it seemingly corrupting on occasion but being fine other times. when i googled it all the info was way beyond my level of comprehension so now I just have no trust for the program
Spooky.
yeah
epic
installing davinci resolve is good, deinstalling league for it is even better
I don't have any experience with it but did you try a proper open source video editor like kdenlive? Why did you decide to go with resolve?
The reason I wanted to switch from Vegas 13 was because it was limiting for me in terms of capability, and to some extent, performance.
I spend tens to hundreds of hours on editing when making a video, and for that I need a tool that's as good as possible, I can't afford any bugs, performance issues, or limiting factors.
Kdenlive isn't as mature as Resolve unfortunately, even though its free and open source, it isn't enough for me.
I actually started making a video in Resolve, and I ran into an small but significant issue that makes Resolve pretty much unusable for me. Its a wrong implementation of keyframe smoothing for the pan/zoom in the editor page, and the workflow to get around that issue is extremely slow, so comes out that Resolve isn't "good enough" for me either, because I can't do work with it properly. That issue has been known on the forums for 5+ years, and its an active thread in 2022, yet it hasn't been fixed, so until then, I'll most likely use a more mature editing stack, such as an endless trial of Premiere + After Effects.
Just out of curiosity what is the application used at 18:12 to track your time?
yeah i guess its time to move on from dear ol vegas isnt it
Dragonshindw 🐉 used to make bounty hunter pk vids and fought defiled a lot he is my bud irl
nice
I actually remember using the Defield name in some private server because I thought it was such a cool name lol.
@@Livakivi defil3d did a defense pure pking how epic
im glad you didn't give into adobe. it really absolutely sucks performance wise in comparison
This makes me wonder how many hours you will spend in front of your pc and mobile? And how did you manage them?
I don't really count, but most of them, depends on the day. I still have like 2 to 5 hours that I'm "afk" mostly.
Hey so I am about to ask a question related to japanese although this is not a video about japanese because this is almost the only communuity which answers questions. Anyways my question is how good is listening to native audio and reading japanese subs for your langauge learning? I know that language is learned better within the langauge itself but I never heared anyone question how good is the other way around.
I hope I'm understanding the question correctly, in which case, have you seen this segment from a recent video of mine? It should literally answer that question: ruclips.net/video/edIAsm_xrJ8/видео.html
@@Livakivi First of all thank you very much for answering. This did solve some confusion I had but my question is how good is listening to english audio with Japanese subtitles? Is it as effective as listening to Japanese with Japanese subtitles or worse? I personally think that people will still learn but they will have a weak foundation in Japanese because they relied on their language more than Japanese. These are just my thoughts, I would like to know about your thoughts.
Now make a same video but for Adobe Premiere Pro good sir
Da Vinki?
Whats the name of app you use to keep track of how many hours you spent on it?
toggltrack
what software is being used at 18:11 im sure its window feature but what
Its a website called toggltrack
@@Livakivi thankyou didn't expect a reply
What is the name of the effect you were doing in the minute 16:36 ?
It was the "Transform" effect in DaVinci Resolve.
I am still trying to figure out why you don't deserve more subscribers
Livakivi believers rise up

Those are my old wmm videos
Try the tutorials from Casey Faris. 10/10!
Most important question: Did you edit the video with DaVinci Resolve?
Not this video, but I'll probably make an update video on this video in the near future! As a short spoiler, the part 1 of the house renovation series was not made in Resolve (nor Vegas), but I'm currently working on part 2 in Resolve this time.
@@Livakivi Ah i see, i wish you good luck with it :)
I think resolve can be really efficient and time saving when using the keybinds properly. Also, the media tab can safe alot of time for pre/raw editing. But you probably already know this by now ^^
Looking forward for part 2 :D
hahaha xD I'm glad to see that you're trying out resolve, Davinci Resolve is pretty cool and I hope you'll eventually get use to it. I started out with Davinci so It's cute to see your first experiences trying it out.
I made a MV edit with Davinci Resolve here: ruclips.net/video/0uhNXFO3n4M/видео.html
of course I'm going to make more but I'm still learning more stuff about Davinci and I hope I'll get better at it later.
Nice.
I am most likely going to make a follow-up video about Resolve, I ran into a really "small" issue, but its a design flaw with a specific feature which unfortunately makes Resolve nearly unusable for me if they dont fix it.
Maybe it will be a video after the next, or perhaps it will be on the second channel.
ma olen proovinud davinci resolvi kasutada ja õppida nii kaua aga nüüd ma saan uuesti proovida. head videod
