No exaggeration Darren, that walkthrough video changed everything for me. I never found that type of intro with Premiere, so I had a hacky utilitarian knowledge. Starting fresh with DVR via your video was a totally different experience. Thank you so much!

Appreciated. Thank you and good luck on your journey with resolve. You wont regret leaving premiere!

That's how the Color page should be explained to beginners! When I was starting with Davinci Resolve (and editing) last year, I was really intimidated by the Color tab. The term 'graded' seemed so pro and advanced that I didn't even want to think about that... But after about a month of learning and working on my first video, I gave it a go, watched some of your tutorials and... the Color Page is actually very well designed and when you grasp the basics, the grading is a LOT of fun and really powerfull finishing part of any edit. So to all my fellow Beginners > Don't be afraid! Watch some of Darren's tutorials and you'll be surprised how quickly you will be able to improve your videos.

Any tips on how to set up my project correctly for this and get it looking good for HDR video for KZfaq? Thanks

Mostly on the strength of your videos, I downloaded DaVinci Resolve. I've already done a little test video of footage I shot in FLog2. I can't get over how much more intuitive the workflow is compared to Premiere Pro! I took the same footage I used to create the video in Premier Pro and the process was much faster, from editing to color grading to creating output. I've been toggling between your videos and my test project and it has been really helpful! I'm concentrating on basics now, but look forward to using more advanced techniques like tracking. I'm thinking of going to Studio just to buy the package with the quick edit panel, though just using the keyboard seems fast and easy. BTW, since you do broadcast work, my introduction to editing was in 1968. I was hired by a local television station to run audio on weekend news broadcasts as my high school job. They quickly added processing and editing news film to my tasks. I've since done both editing projects at my design school and also some directing and non-linear editing for instructional videos at a medical school. Now I just have fun!

What’s left of it and I guess I will see you in the next video.
