🔴 DaVinci Resolve for NOOBS! ▶ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLNzpJl3yZO-kac.html

3:30 If you wanna resize the layout in Resolve, Preference > User > UI settings > UI Display scale, change it to 150/200%. And for recording your screen without installing any program, if you have an Nvidia GPU, just press alt + F9. For Fusion, I'd recommend old lessons from the people who made Fusion, Eyeonsoftware YT channel has everything from basic to advanced tutorials. Fusion is a professional-grade compositing tool used in movies for decades. There are other good channels as well like VFX Study, Casey Feris, Patric Sterling, Pirates of Confusion, CB Super, etc.

Another reason for you Daniel to leave filmora in the dust is because during that whole 12 fiasco, Filmora threatened you. They even went and convinced youtube to put a hold on your videos. For me that's enough to switch, but begrudgingly I'm still using 12, even though I've got Davinci downloaded , I'm frustrated trying to maneuver through it. But I know I've got your videos to help guide my way through. Thank you Daniel for all that you do.

Early on, I was having difficulty settling onto an editing software to learn, but once I picked up Davinci Resolve, as difficult as it was at first, the coolness factor of using the same software being used on Marvel movies gave me some validation it's a pro level option. I have had no reason to change since then.

5:55 I know nothing about Filmora. I did need a decent editing software, without restrictions, on my PC so I could ease the burden on my mobile devices. When you introduced Resolve, it was perfect for my needs. I actually like the learning curve. It forces me to take my time and comprehend the process, thus making it easier to do the next time. I also enjoy the fact that I actually can learn some of the advanced features without a subscription or immediately paying for a license before I know that it will become a permanent and used part of my toolbox.

I got into Filmore because of you, and I'm swapping over to DR because of you. I absolutely believe in the KISS method when it comes to instruction (Keep it simple stupid). Teach the basics, and if that is your niche', which it is because of your teaching method and style, then that's where you will shine in DR just like you did in Filmora. I'm a KZfaqr in a very small niche of the world (quilting and machine embroidery), and I have found what when I do the VERY basic method of teaching threading, cutting, hooping, etc., my viewers just love that. Those are my highest ranking videos. Press on!

Great vid Daniel. I'm in and out of both right now. The learning curve is a little challenging as you mentioned but I will overcome it soon. I like both of the programs but again, as you mentioned, it's nice to have some headroom to do more. Keep the info flowing . Love watching your vids. Be well brother

I was thinking about switching to Resolve for some time but was aware of the learning curve. What happened with Filmora and the lifetime license was the last push I needed. There are basic things in Resolve, like a simple zoom, that are so much more straightforward than Filmora. And I love how I can easily organise everything in Resolve, and the Cut page, and especially Fairlight (although I am still in baby steps in that, but I love what I can do with it). It was a move that I'm glad I've made - every cloud has a silver lining.

Great video Daniel! I've been using Davinci for a few years and I love it. For some reason it made more sense to me than other editors. It is the software I recommend but I qualify that by telling people to start with the edit page and create a simple video. Work with the other pages as you become more familiar with it. Davinci is a full suite of tools, not just an editor so it's a bit harder to learn. Your shorts are great at getting some starting tips. Keep up the great work!

Great video and good reminders to use tools that work for your individual style.

First off - dig your hoodie and the folks at LMG for April's video. I am with you - there are so many flavors of editing software out there. I come from the days of public access and Sony 3/4 to 3/4 on an Sony RM-440 (all that tape striping) - so moving to digital was something to behold. I had access to Final Cut and Adobe Premiere, just never needed that - more of a 'Grand Marquis' type of guy than a 'Lincoln' if you get my meaning. Honestly never thought you moved for DaVinci out of spite (you had reason to) but more like you are saying, the fit was no more comfortable - and after looking at your options, DaVinci though not perfect - kinda fit the bill better. Keep on truckin'

Great video Daniel, I produced my first set of vlogs using Filmora as it was for a beginner very intuitive to learn and I've been messing about with it since version 9 and I think with version 12 it has come a long way in terms of features. I think the beginner friendly tag almost does Filmora harm, because I think it's full featured enough to produce professional high quality edits, but I think they market themselves too much on the "fun" side of things. I'm starting wedding filmmaking this summer and it's only because of multicam and colour grading I'm starting to get my head around resolve with your tutorials a big help so thank you.

The best way to learn new software is how you're doing it - staying a few steps ahead and teaching what you've learned. I haven't tried Filmora or DaVinci yet. I barely know how to use iMovie. But I've bookmarked your tutorial for Complete Noobs and hope to have some fun learning.

The part you mentioned about talking about DR at it's basic level! Dude your videos have helped me out immensely I save any of the shorts that show me a neat little trick I feel lke I can use to my tutorial playlist. Your channel has really helped me grasp Davinci Resolve in a way I was struggling to do with other content creators. You understand the core concept of not overloading us and not getting too into the weeds about any specific thing. Thank you so much Daniel!

Another thing about DaVinci is that you need a really good PC, I couldn't do much without it starting to lag, that's why I am sticking with Filmora until I have a better device. Both are good for different type of things...

You are a very good communicator. That is your true gift. As someone looking to learn video editing, especially Resolve, I’m going to check out your beginner tuts. Thank you.

Thx Daniel, i start with DaVinci Resolve to. LIVE TIME FM for my 46 days en then PAY again.

I always appreciate when people are mature and intelligent enough to give EXAMPLES of why something isn’t working for them…vs…something as juvenile as, “This thing sucks!” And casting light on some of the Filmora shortcomings in the process? The underlying intent is ninja level for those who get it. Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Onward. Upward.

Started using DaVinci a few years ago - haven't looked back. It really is stepping up to pro level. You're in good company with Peter McKinnon and Kold recently switching. In addition to Casey Feris , one of the 'OGs' (and to save you a few searches), some other excellent DaVinci resources ... Billy Rybka, Jamie Fenn, Waqas Qazi, MrAlexTech, Creative Video Tips (excellent, underrated...taught me the Blackmagic Speed Editor), Learn Color Grading (very good/pro tips), Color Grading Insights (Kasia Jarco - a relative newcomer, rising fast, with excellent, super simple, high-impact Fusion lessons), Jason Yadlovski, Rocco Germani, Molin Guides, Sebastien Friedrich, Essential Video Editing, JayAreTV, Sergio Mota, Cullen Kelly, just to name a few.

Fusion is extremely difficult to get your head wrapped around but there are a ton of videos out there, primarily Casey Farris, they do a pretty good job explaining it. Basically you’re switching from a layer based workflow (bottom-up) to a node based workflow (left to right). My biggest issue with Fusion is not being able to tell what the nodes do by the names only. The language is sooo confusing and technical, I can’t really understand how to use them, when, and where to accomplish what I want to do. PLUS, most of the basic stuff can be done in the edit page anyway. However, with the new update (18.5 Beta) the multi-merge node should help to make it easier. 🤷🏾‍♂️ GOOD LUCK 🍀👍🏾

Being so familiar with filmora is a comfort for me so far. Thanks for the real low down. I trust your word, and if need be we will consider Resolve.

Thank you for update and clarification 😊

forgot to subscribe to you a long time ago. Your a good solid source of information when it comes to these things.

I remember that you had already said that you felt you had done all you could do with Filmora and that you needed to move on to something new. It may have been a bit sad that it was over, but there was nothing negative about the move.

You are an influential person in regards to video editing tricks. When you mentioned Da Vinci, I immediately looked for its system requirements. that's how influential you are.

MAN! MASSIVE THANKS FOR THE TUTORIALS YOU SHARED THROUGH THE YEARS.

Haha, welcome to the Davinci Family! I put off fusion for a number of years lol, but now i use it on all my projects instead of After Effects, and found it to be just as easy and powerful if not better in some cases once i understood how to work with Nodes (scary and intimidating at first). High level software all use nodes, such as blender, Nuke, Houdini, so learning it in fusion will give you the foundation to understand and use nodes in these. I have to agree with you, there are few really good tutorials compared to other products but its getting better by the day as more creatives such as yourself make the transition. It was much harder finding good info a few years back, and resolve had a lot less features (thank goodness for their awesome updates, especially for things i had been spoiled on premier for)

Much respect for your attitude. I have to admit, you can do a lot of what any basic KZfaq video needs without getting too fancy. About 5 years ago, I started a small channel just for covering local news stuff in my very small town (mostly to do things like be able to produce neat little reals for the HS sports teams and such since no local news was and I had the journalism background). At that point, Resolve was at a similar price point to Premiere, so I went with Lightworks for a lot of the current Resolve selling points: it had everything from (very basic) compositing to audio all in one program, and plenty for what I needed to do some basic titles and the like so it looked decent and professional. Later, when I really got into it, I actually switched to Premiere, in large part for After Effects, because even with learning Blender and doing some audio editing in Audacity, the version of Lightworks I had was just not quite there. But also because, as deep as I was getting into editing, I figured it made sense to build skills that might actually have some marketability outside of my very small channel. When life pulled me in another direction and video production became more of a hobby, paying hundreds of dollars a year for a subscription didn't make sense. So, I went back to Lightworks for the times I needed it (like editing video of a kid's play) and it struck me how, even several years out of date, it was still perfectly functional. It handles 4K footage no problem. You can do decent titles and small effects, and you even have pretty good audio editing. Recently, when I wanted to do a bit more with compositing and play around more with family videos (like having someone burst into particles), I looked at updating Lightworks, since it's a one-time buy like Resolve. Then, I started seeing all the "I switched to Resolve..." videos, and downloaded the free version. Honestly, the only thing more remarkable than how inexpensive the studio version is, is how functional the free version is. I hated - hated - working in Premiere. Having to jump between programs for audio and effects and all that was just annoying and break up your flow. But, I did it because it was the "best" and I could do a lot more. The true beauty of Resolve, sure, it's not super simple, but that's only if you want to force yourself to use everything there. Someone who is just starting out or someone who could put a hobbiest like me to shame would both be able to do what they need to do. But, I have to admit, that doesn't mean you need it - though the price is incredibly right at free. I never tried Filmora, but I can attest with Lightworks that if I literally just wanted to cut a clip out of something longer, I'd probably do it there rather than Resolve, and your truck vs Ferrari analogy is spot-on as to why.

3:10 for that reason I changed the high dpi setting for Davinci from program controlled to system controlled.

Coming from TV we used Final Cut Pro and Sony Vegas before Vegas was bought. I tended to prefer Vegas as it just seemed easier and faster to work in and for our news anchors and reporters, it had an easier learning curve. When I joined the team at the Diesel Performance shop I work for now, I continued to use Vegas, until Sony sold Magix and I started to experience a variety of hard incompatibility issues that Magix just couldn't figure out. Premier could be clunky and slow at times, so that was out for me. Since we use PC's here, Final Cut was not an option...Then I found resolve, it does have a steep learning curve and there hasn't been a whole lot of solid, easy to understand Tutorials for Resolve, but once you get over that hump, it's a dream to work with. I will say; that one of the most frustrating things I run into, when I started using the software (Version 16) was that importing files into Resolve would crash the app, unless I drag and dropped my files directly into the Media Pool and support didn't seem to have a fix for it, other than reinstalling the software, which did nothing to resolve the issue. Once Version 17 hit, they finally addressed the issue, I'm so glad I made the switch. Fusion has me stumped, so it's a process! Although I love fairlight, I still like Audition better, and still use it to clean up my audio, record voice overs and record and produce my music. Overall, I'm blown away with its features and its affordability.

Great analogy between the Ferrari and the truck.

Well said, Daniel. Thanx for, once and for all, clarifying your subscribers on the matter.

G'day mate. Excellent video and I think it's important that a person as influential as yourself, takes a moment to make a video such as this to clear the air and set things straight. I'm tied to PowerDirector 365 by my subscription and I do enjoy it, but it does have its issues. Your videos on DaVinci resolve and really swaying me have a hard think at the end of my current subscription. Thanks as always and take care. Daz.

Resolve is free!! The paid version has so many wicked features, its also affordable too !! Keep these coming Daniel !!

Dipped into Resolve. It is a lot to digest. I can tell it is capable of more than Filmora and will make a very basic talking head video to see more of how it works. Green screen in Resolve after Filmora looks daunting but doable.

Nice potato bag shirt… that was a good vid and I thought he had gone on a bit of a tangent since the h@ck , but then I realised the date and that he was annually famous for it… but the merch in that one is strong 💪. A lot of stuff doesn’t ship downunder so I feel a bit ripped off down here missing out on moonshine mugs and such. Well said re WF - I started with it a ver6 and it clearly marketed itself as easy to get started and all you need right now and it grew a long way from that to where it is now, but I always knew it was a starter drug and your video helped me change up to the next level - you did the right thing in the right way in spite of potential “costs” - “this time a good man did something” and that’s a triumph. I can understand you wanting to move on from that now though… maybe a commemorative gold star as a merch run… oh ok too soon 😂😂

Thanks for what you said about software. I use Shotcut and I think that I'll keep using it until I get a better laptop (which I probably won't do until this one stops working completely). It's not too hefty for my laptop, and I (more or less) know my way around it now.

Really great video, thanks for sharing. I’m always wondering if what I have is capping out, and if I really want to learn an entirely new software or not!

It's really incredible what the free version offers. Working to make the big jump on DaVinci and let drop PowerDirector and Adobe.

Hey Daniel. Another great presentation and talk. I am a NOOB that is looking at Davinci Resolve but haven't switched up to it yet primarily because it will be a steep learning curve especially since my only editing experience is with Openshot, a decidedly low-rung editor comparatively, but it's the one I've used for 3 years while editing videos for KZfaq. I do have Davinci Resolve installed and I am experimenting with it and the options are immense but as you say, I'm using a software now that meets my needs (mostly), so it works for the short term, but I see so many better edits on videos out there on KZfaq and I want to improve. You tutorials are very helpful and I will continue to benefit from your instruction as I learn this new tool. I have never used Filmora but hear it's great too. All the best!!

Took me six months to transition from Movavi to Davinci Resolve. I waited a year before I bought the Davinci Resolve Studio license key with Speed Editor bundle. I still haven't mastered all the features after two years.

Davinci Resolve is a much more powerful software and has less of a social media focus (not pushing effects packs and templates on you like Filmora does) and more of a professional film industry focus². It has a lot more features than Filmora 12, including advanced color correction tools, audio editing tools, and visual effects. Davinci Resolve.

Daniel, you single handidly got Filmora to honor their word. Thanks again!

The ‘free’ aspect was a big selling point for me when I was upgrading from iMovie…I couldn’t handle another monthly subscription (looking at you Adobe) and the free DR was far more than what I needed, video, audio, color all in one…so it was perfect…three years later and I’m still there. 📸😎🎥

I'm still using DR, it's all making more sense after a couple of months now. I do miss the Filmora effects though. Only DR issue is the green screen can be hit and miss, half the time it just inverts for no reason when you select to remove green.

Fusion is massively underrated for how powerful and flexible and fast it is and the features it has without using any plugins. There are also plugins for Fusion and reactor is also a great pluginmanager to download and install many many community made plugins. Fusion was running full on GPU back in 2012 when AE and Nuke still doesn't have full GPU support and multithreading. Absolute monster, highly recommended it for checking it out.

The free version is just fantastic for a small KZfaq channel like I have. It took some time to learn but wow it is fantastic. And free. Was on Filmora for 2 years.

No... after years with the Corel product, I moved over to DaVinci, and your beginner vid was the only one that gave me a clue to what I wanted to do. I just needed to get a vid out without a lot of extras. But you are also spot on - many of the vids out there show you what to do, but get caught up showing you all the bells n whistles the software has, and one gets lost in the weeds of what to do. Thank you Sir!!

Daniel, I respect your honesty, judgment, and skills. Right, the software that's "right for you." As a YTwannabe noob. Filmora is best for me. To me, the difference between Filmora and DaVincci is like the difference between a car with an automatic versus a standard transmission. Or, perhaps an automatic in a Honda sedan and a standard transmission in a KW 18-wheeler. Filmora 12 will get me where I want to go "for now" Davincci maybe someday when I can afford a Ferrari computer. Be safe. Be well. ☮🕊☯💙💛💙💛💙💛 🙏4 Ukraine.

Great video Daniel. I've switched pretty much 100% to FCP since I find the workflow so natural with the 2 Macs I primarily use it on. However, I do have a Studio license for DR and have always loved that editor. DR was the first editor I ever used and I will always be fond of it.

Just downloaded the base program and am going to try to use it for all of my reaction clients vids (very simple edits ) will keep u updated on how I like it and thanks for providing a resource for us editors

You brought up the audio, that's the main reason why I switched from Filmora to Premiere. BTW your color grading looking AMAZING!

Appreciate it man. We started out using a program called movavi and worked great for us for a while. The last couple videos we put out was edited in DaVinci Resolve and it is daunting but we are coming around. Appreciate the work you put in for us. 🤘🤘

I used to use the OLLD window movie maker back when windows 8 had it still for OLD videos. Resolve reminded me of it, but with A LOT.. more.. stuff. But I absolutely love using Resolve and with you and others that do the tutorials that you all do in your OWN way, it has helped me improve how to use it FOR ME. :D KEEP ROCKING!

Another very thoughtful and helpful video, Daniel. Thank you. I still use them both religiously. Filmora 12 is great for quick edits, fancy transitions, effects, etc. I was a FCC and have ALL of the add-ons for free, and because of you, made about a grand with them over the past year. You not only taught me filmora, but how to create How-to videos! I used to be ALL adobe for work\clients, but started playing with DR at DR16, so I knew it already. That said, DR18 and Studio are great! I use VisualVFX with it so I have way more effects, luts, transitions, sound effects, etc. I also love fusion, color grading, multiple timelines, smart bins and more in DR18. After your battle with Filmora, I received hundreds of questions about the two VE’s, so I addressed it, too. But they were from non subs??? LOL. Filmora messed up with their pricing - bad idea. Just charge more but keep it a one-time purchase - so simple. Thank you bro. Your content is the best! Have a Creative Day!

Hi Daniel, thank you for all the info. I’m still using Filmora and agree it was a great beginner software. Regarding their unbelievably unfair treatment of us lifetime subscription purchasers - you did a great service to us all by helping us to access 12, but that said - small issues are ongoing. For instance, the ‘speech to text feature’ (A version of which is free in KZfaq studio), is now only available for free access in limited amounts which refresh each month. Once the monthly allowance is exceeded, users must pay a subscription - so Lifetime Licences are still not being upheld in the spirit in which they were purchased, and that’s a great shame in terms of customer service and reputation of Filmora. Prior to their attempt to renege on Lifetime Licence users purchases I used to recommend Filmora to anyone and everyone. Like you, I still tell people about the product, but with a very strong caveat based on my experience while highlighting your battle to get them to do the right thing. Good luck with Davinci Resolve, I look forward to seeing how it works for you. I don’t need the Ferrari, I need the pick-up 😆

Very well said Daniel. I’m glad things are working out for you. I’m still sticking with iMovie and using Filmora when I need some of the transitions it has or I have more than two video tracks. For now that still works for me. Peace right back at you.✌🏻

Skillfully delivered my friend. Nice work.

You know I've been with you since the Filmora days. I 've always had DaVanici installed on my computer and have made a few false starts on learning it but it was just so complicated. I'm in the process of shooting my first feature film which I won't be able to edit with Filmora, so I'm looking forward to your tutorials on Davinci

I liked the "headroom" analogy. That's a useful concept. I could see it used in other contexts, i.e., explaining how you won't outgrow "Pro level" page building tools for WordPress, like Bricks, over any other number of "divitis" challenged builders. As soon as you actually learn CSS, you might regret starting off with the beginner-friendly newbie editions.

I just bought the full license of Davinci Resolve today. I am pushing my creation chops to the next level. Also there is so much more I want to do on mainstream editors. I may have to get Premiere Pro too for my future as a creator. I do IT now, but I want to leave that and be a creator for corporations and other sectors. Davinci Resolve is a good place to start. I left Filmora because it was about the principle and the ever greed grabbing Filmora was doing to me on anything that was important to me. I said enough and left. Filmora is a decent editor, but their practices are to me questionable still. Never going back ever.

Excellent video and good message. Use what works.

Absolutely legit.. i started with filmora. But last year i gave Davinci a try.. and it worked for me like a charm.. and the moment i saw u switching to Davinci, i smashed and destroyed your channel subscribe button..

Thanks for the channel, I'll be referring to it a lot! I bought DRS about a week ago (noob) and worked with it a lot over the weekend. Coming from PowerDirector I'm finding it super tedious to line up several tracks. I'm editing a 90 minute concert with six cameras and using the audio from the best camera (muting the rest once tracks are lined up). With all the crowd noise, natural reverb, and just different sounds from each camera placed all over the hall (and one roaming) I found that audio sync in Resolve doesn't work. I finally ended up reverting back to PowerDirector to finish editing. Do you have any specific episodes on working with this many tracks/this kind of scenario? Can't wait to dive into Resolve, I just probably shouldn't have been so ambitious on my first attempt, lol.

I had the same black line issues in Filmora and it was aggravating to fix that bug! I moved to DaVinci when I went from KZfaq videos to my first movie as I knew I needed something that could handle it better. I do miss one feature and that is the ability to grab the timeline where my marker is to zoom in and out. In DaVinci I have to use the plus bar and it not work as effectively.

Went for the Speed Editor and it came with the Studio License for 2 machines.... Fantastic!!!

I am in the process of transitioning to Resolve. I blame you for having to learn this new software.... It was your encouragement and inspiration that drives me , and the community, to expand our creativity and continuously improve our skills. P.S. Amazing thumbnail, possible thumbnail tutorial in the future? Thanks for all you do.

I agree with you about the Fusion page. That has always confused me. Which is why I have had mixed results with it,

I am excited to see your videos on DaVinci Resolve!

Still haven't got into the fusion page. Watched a few tutorials, still feel like a noob on the edit page sometimes, lol. Fusion looks dauntig to say the least, but I'll get there.

I'll be going through the whole for noobs video, I've done simple stuff and DaVinci has a very steep learning curve that I know I can get through.

Thanks for the great explanation. As you said though, I'm gonna do what's right for ME. Which is to stick with Filmora for now. I get what you mean about sometimes pushing the software to it's limits, but my content doesn't demand too much editing jiggery-pokery or fancy effects. So, that combined with my learning difficulties means I'm gonna stick (for now, never say never)

Nice insights Daniel. I appreciate your reasonableness. You seem like a friend. I happen to be 75 years old. I have used Pinnacle Studio since its Version 3. I updated it at about every third or fourth iteration and I'm up to V 25. (they have a V 26) I would hate to attempt to learn a new software at my age but I would give up my Mickey Mantle Rookie card if Pinnacle would just make a "STABLE" program. If I had a nickel for every time I had to reboot the software, or my computer I could just hire you to do my editing for me. Of course that wouldn't be any fun for me, would it?

Great video! I've said often about certain softwares I use is I like the way it feels things are in the right place. Side note... Advocating for speeding, what's next running on cop cars?

Solid take on Davinci good sir ,100 % agree with every point you made .Espessially regarding the fusion page ,ooooowee that takes some ,finding the zone head space to navigate for sure .For me it's more like the con-fusion page . But I do enjoy the challenge. Cheers .

I am an old DOS Pascalian and dBaseII programmer. What I have seen more and more is software written above the vocabulary of the public they wish to sell it to I blame Windows for this. Like Wordpress, no one really needs to know what they are doing to produce something they think is Great. It's like working with the Military. First you have to have a glossary of acronym definitions. If one doesn't have and understand the vocabulary of a college educated photographer; it makes some of the functions of a video editing software hard to use. Corel Video Suite has this same issue. Many people starting out are using cell phones for cameras and don't know what DSLR means. After all, most of you reading this don't know that MODEM is an acronym. Modulator - Demodulator. Yes, I am that old. Software developers tend to write programs at the same level of understanding and vocabulary that they have and that their peer group has. I always want to see instruction video of someone using an editing software ( even MS Word) from the viewpoint of someone that doesn't even really understand what a file folder is. Truly, at what level am "I" even considered a Noob. I can do math with Hex fluently but working with most video software can be a challenge. Someone needs to draft a pamphlet of Graphical definitions using any video software.

My daughter uses Filmora. But the paid subscription is confusing. I'm gonna share this video with her. Thanks bro.

Thank you Daniel. You could have really bashed Filmora but you didn't. You're such an honest good-hearted man. Love your videos. A very good man to follow.

Fusion... I tried to make things with it when I first started... I figure it's easier to find offerings from other creators who are better suited for that level of craftsmanship if you will. Throw them a few bucks for whatever it is... and get back to editing... I'd spend hours in fusion trying to make a custom lower third...

Cool, very insightful video.

Hey Daniel, Love this thumbnail. Which software did you use to make it?

Easybake oven to Viking Range! Cheers Daniel!!

Daniel, totally get you. My exodus was a little different: Premiere -> DV Resolve. Love your videos, and yes I love your hair too. Cheers, and all the best.

Reason 1. DVR is a really advanced production software with Not Just editing the learning is pain but believe me i started with filmora, PD365 and then finally DVR 2. Filmora is really a consumer grade software no doubt they are getting better with new updates, I was looking to upgrade to filmora pro but thry pulled out the plug So i believe Daniel has maximised his time with Filmora and DVR is next level to go :)

Welcome back BUDDY !!!! Greetings from Greece !!!

I use resolve mostly for the color grading since I want to do my own film making and don’t want to get adobes editors when Resolve updates when they add something the customers been asking for

@Daniel Batal : Greetings, Bro. Hope all is well with you and your family. If I may ask, is there any way to license your Resolve tutorial videos? I would love to learn about it and feel if I had a copy of them, it would be easier for me to learn. Thanks, Dude with a Resolve ‘Tude. PEACE!

QUESTION: Your thoughts on editing Sony (a7IV) S-Log 3 with my Filmora 12 software. Am I better off biting the bullet and diving into Davinci Resolve? Thanks! I'm an enthusiast, do some paid photography and would like to be more proficient with video.

Am having some minor issues with DaVinci 18 I didn't have with 17 or 16 (weird things happening when I make compound clips & glitches on exporting greenscreens in 4k) but DaVinci is the best software for me & going back to Premier Pro is a non-starter.

Fusion is so awesome, but it's very overwhelming. There are some good vids out there about it, but they are either fast-paced and hard to follow, or 2 hours long lol. With Lightworks Pro there are no animation tools, but also it didn't take me 20 minutes of work to get a simple effect to show up on screen

Hey about the complaint you had with DaVinci resolve that you can't read the text very well in the settings there's an option to make text bigger or even scale up the UI so that things are easy to read

Can you make a video on how you do your sound quality? Like what you use, and mic!

Great update Daniel. I've played with Da Vinci and its a great package and its free (amazingly). But I still like the speed of Filmora for drag and drop transitions etc. So for the time being Filmora is my Ferrari. Peace ☮✌✌

I'm still using for latest version of Filmora 12 only for simplicity. All of my videos have no more than two camera angles and 2 tracks of audio for the most part. That being said, I have 2 issues that are not resolved yet. When using the title option, there is always a 4 second delay when closing the title window. I'm using a 6 core mac with the fastest intel i7 chip and 16GB of memory, so it's not my computer. The other issue is the "spinning disk" when closing the Filmora program. Happens every-time - ha, as I'm typing this, it's been spinning for about 5 minutes. (I have 2 monitors, so I can still use another program while Filmora freezes - LOL). Being that I do have Final Cut Pro installed on my mac, I'd rather spend time learning that instead of Davinci if I did choose to use another program, but I bet they're both pretty good. Thanks for all of your very cool Filmora videos in the past as I'm sure that you've helped thousands with some great tips.

Kinda weird why someone would apologize for keeping Filmora. It's a personal choice. I guess they might feel they're letting you down or somehow cheating on you? Creators/Educators like you are a godsend. We appreciate the knowledge you share and recommendations you share. But that's all they are, recommendations. Not unlike stock picks. It's still up to the person to research on their own, and choose for themselves.

Wow! Perfect timing…. My BF got a new computer and asked me which was better. I checked your videos and this one appears! 🎉

This is interesting because I have a nearly identical story but for me it was motion tracking. I needed to do motion tracking before Filmora had that feature. And color correction was baaaaad back in the day. Great video

I'm still using Filmora 11 but one annoying thing is that you cant select a bunch of clips and do a operation on it, so it will do it on all clips. So if I want to change the saturation, I have to do the same repetitive thing for each clip I want to apply it to. Same for audio. I want to increase the treble on some clips, but it doesn't work when I have selected more than one clip. Has DaVinci the functionality to do this?

Filmora has some pretty cool new feature and wish you were still around showing people how to use them. But I get what and why you're doing what your doing! Much respect! ❤

Now also some AI tools require a subscription:( like the sound extension is gone now. Even with the basic subscription gone and I used a lot. So still using fillmora but going to migrate to FCP
