So thorough and EASY to understand! Thanks @Team2Films for producing content that always elevates the topics and make complex features approachable for novices, but also deliver useful info for the professional users as well! 👍🌞
Thank-you, we're always happy to hear that even content for newcomers still has interest for the more experienced. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. We appreciate having you here.
one thing that stops me from switching entirely to resolve is the way how resolve saves projects. I would like to have my projects saved inside specific folders so that I could easily find them and open when needed. just the same as premiere can do. now I am forced to open resolve first and then search media pool for required project, which I might forget how it was named. you should really consider to provide the ability to save projects wherever user wants.
Yes, we understand how that could be frustrating when you are used to Premiere's system. It's worth keeping in mind the huge advantages that Resolve's library based project management brings though. 1. It allows multi-user collaboration. 2. It have amazing features like live save, project backups and timeline backups. 3. You could look at it the other way, that having all your projects in one place aids organisation. 4. It integrates with Blackmagic's amazing cloud services. Not to mention all the other amazing features you get with Resolve like Magic Mask, Music Remixer, world-class color grading tools... etc. Perhaps the change in workflow is worthwhile?
What about the After Effects users? For example my workflow is this : C4D - 3d renders and after that comping in AE - in fact just using some specular, reflection pass, DOF and masks, and then a lot of transitions - fading and finishing - trapcode particular, etc. to delivery in 126:9, vertical...this would be very useful!
I am a new user of resolve and have been driven crazy by the different edit modes, your demonstration of selecting the top or bottom of a clip had totally bypassed me. You have no idea how much frustration that has caused. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video out.
Hello! Sorry you’ve had problems with the different edit modes. We think they help simplify the editing toolset. Are there any specific questions we can answer for you?
It's a great, well structured video. For the first time I'm enjoying learning editing. If i had money, I would definitely buy the course.
We're so glad to have you here. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This is GOLD 🫶🏻
YOU are GOLD 😎 Thank-you so much Marco.
What is the proper database workflow? In PR, I’m used to editing projects on an external editing drive and archive at completion.
Basically, keep your projects in a library. Once a project is 'finished' you can continue to keep them on the library and organise them in different folders. You can even create different libraries specifically for organising archived projects. You can also export your projects from the library and save them as a .drp file for future use. If you want to share a project with someone you can export it as a .drp file for them. However the easier method would be to use a networked or cloud base library. Libraries might sound like a more complicated way of managing projects, but I think that's just because they are so different from the way Premiere works. Libraries are awesome and simplify project management when you are used to them. Did that help? Please ask more questions if you have them.
@@team2films can I store libraries on an external drive?
@@DANAMIONLINE Yes.
@@team2films what about all the other setting like local libraries. I might have the terms wrong, but I remember it was more than just having a library on a external drive.
@@DANAMIONLINE Not too sure what you mean. In short, local libraries can be stored on an internal drive, an external drive or a networked drive. But they will only be accessible by one person at a time. You can mount and unmount libraries as you please. Does that answer your question?
What happened to the Blackmagic 6k Full Frame review? You were testing the camera as far as I can remember?
We've got footage in the can that we shot for the video. I think we might combine it with our PYXIS video. Sorry about that! The spring got super busy! In the meantime, are there any questions we can answer for you?
@@team2films yes when its out :D
@@CINENIMUS No questions in the meantime?
@@team2films that was the question haha you're welcome for all the algo traffic haha
PURE FIRE.

Thank-you thank-you thank-you Casey! ❤️
Is it possible to invert grade/LUT? For example if I have colorful uncorrected image, than create WB and color adjustments to make it neutral, so in general I can generate LUT from (colorful>balanced). Now can I get another balanced neutral color image and applied that LUT inversed, like balaned>colorful. Might a bit confusing description.... Simpler one if I have Vlog LUT and Vlog footage (vlog>rec709), can I use rec709 footage apply LUT inverted and get Vlog? (yeah it will be not the same with vlog, but just for illustration what I want to make).... ??? Some kind of "match grade" but with LUTs
We’d suggest using a CST for the color management operation you are describing. You can convert rec 709 to vlog. You can even turn that into a lut.
Best thing I've ever done was fully switching to DaVinci Resolve when I bought my Pocket 4K one year ago. It's genuinely so much better in every single regard
That's so awesome. Thanks for sharing.
cannot find the music remixer you show at 22:30 ?
What version of resolve are you using?
@@team2films the latest 18.6. I think I understand it is in version 19 :-) hope it is release soon as production version
I absolutely like the easy way you teach
Thanks so much, that's kind of you to say.
👍
Wonderful tutorial, thanks
I switched from Final Cut to Resolve a year ago and don't regret it even a little. Both as a value proposition and for features. I only wish Resolve had a comparable tool to mPuppet (mesh warper) in FCP. It's the only thing that keeps me from deleting the app entirely
Ah yeah, that would be great to see come to Resolve. Suggest it in the forums if you havn't already. Glad Resolve is working out so well for you.
Amazing, a lot of this things mentioned i heard from you also in Amsterdam, but this Video is completely on another level, it literally makes Davinci look very easy to deal with. Keep it up!
Thank you so much. That is kind of you to say. So glad you got to come to Amsterdam.
Absolutely amazing video! Do you guys know if there's any way to automatically update media folders? For example, if I add an Img folder to my media pool with 2 images, but later I add to that folder on my computer more images, does DR19 automatically refresh with the newly added images?
Thanks so much! As far as we are aware, NO Resolve does not have some sort of 'Watch Folder' feature that will automatically import media.
@@team2films got it! Too sad 😔 thanks 🙏
Look up super bins by william justice. It does all that and more.
I spent 10 years editing in Premiere, the transition to Davinci took about 3 months. Davinci almost never crashes. Text Based editing is vital for long format interviews. Using the Fairlight page is so much easier than round tripping to Audition, especially for TV commercial work which has tight deadlines and strict audio specifications. I think I paid about $400 AUD back in 2020 and that included the speed editor keyboard. I would NEVER go back to Premiere.
Text-Based-Editing is an absolutely amazing feature. So glad to not have to round-trip projects too. And all of that for 400AUD is insane. So glad it's working out for you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks, great video. Regarding life save: If you enable this, is there still a way to revert back to a manually saved state? In case you maybe messed something up and need to go back to your earlier version of the project for example.
Yes 100%. That's what the projects backup feature is for. It regularly saves versions of your project that you can revert back to at any time.
such a top tier production as always...
Thanks so much!
killing fcp7 was a mistake of Jobs'
Yeah a lot of people miss fcp7. But…. Fcpx is a great program in its own rights. It’s got some awesome features.
Fantastic video, thank you for sharing all these tips :)
Thank-you so much.
Well done
Thank-you!
I can say from personal experience, that their course was the best one I've taken for Resolve. It's detailed, interesting, and thorough, and really helps with more of the "how do i actually work in this program".
That's really kind of you to say. Thank-you for all your support. You are amazing!
@@team2films you guys make really good videos… thank you!
I’d LOVE to move over to Resolve from FCPX. I already own a Studio license. But Resolve is convoluted regarding keyboard shortcuts. And basic editing and speed changes are painfully slow compared to FCPX.
Thanks so much for watching! Can you explain more? We've worked extensively in FCPX and it's a great NLE for sure. We love it too! But we think in some ways speed changes are actually implemented better in Resolve. What part of speed changes do you think is painful? And are there specific keyboard shortcuts that you are talking about that are convoluted? We're here to help :)
@@team2films With FCPX, I can change a 60fps clip to 24fps with a single keyboard button press. Speed changes (ramps) can be created also with a single keyboard button press. When cutting, ripple cuts can be done with a single keyboard press. Mapping keyboard shortcuts in Resolve is challenging because each page has separate keyboard shortcuts.
@@skymakai Heya. Yeah, FCP does have some cool features. Here's some extra info for you. The way FCP makes speed ramps is a little flawed (if I am remembering correctly... correct me if I am not). It cuts the clip into different blocks of different speeds. It 'steps' up and 'steps' down. On the other hand Resolve actually properly 'ramps' the speed. So while there is some additional complexity with the controls, it's a better result. In Resolve Ripple Cuts CAN be done with a single keyboard press. You need to be in trim edit mode. Then just hit SHIFT + ] or SHIFT + [. If you want a different hotkey, you can assign it. Yes, pages add complexity to the hotkey assignment in Resolve. But they also bring advantages. I think that kind of cancels things out? Does that help?
@@team2filmsYou don't need to be in trim edit mode to use shift +[ or ]. Might want to check that again
@@crazycucumber683 Thanks for your comment. You DO need to be in trim edit mode to perform a ripple edit. @skymakai specifically asked about ripple edits. If you're in selection mode it will leave a gap.
Natalie, this tutorial is so well structured and explained. I applaud your instruction and presentation. Incidentally, I come from Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro Studio. Would you do a video on setting up your drives for saving the various elements such as auto save, cache, renders and proxies when only drives are involved. Thanks again for a great video!
Hello Daniel, that's a great idea for a video. It's added to the list. We're also working on some content about switching to Resolve from the perspective of Avid Media Composer editors too. It will be interesting to hear your perspectives on that. Thanks for watching, we appreciate having you here.
why not 8k this time?
Rendering was taking a while on this project so we put it out at UHD. Sorry :( Now we feel bad! Thanks for watching and caring enough to notice!
@@team2films no problem
Me whose first Editing software is davinchi resolve 😂
Haha! you've never known a switch! That's awesome. Thanks for watching still :)
Wow, great vid!
Thank-you Jeff
Oh look! It's my favorite YT channel with a new video. *grabs the popcorn*
Hope you enjoyed it :) Thanks so much for watching.
thank you for the great tutorial, I notes that the black bars @Mismatched Res it's a checker board, So could you please explain from where you change to be checker board?
It's a new v19 feature. You can find the options in the Timeline View Options drop down (top left hand corner of the timeline panel).
Keyframing and Fusion is kind of a nightmare. And I'm using Resolve as my primary tool. At least compared to 3d software, like in Maya from *20 YEARS ago,* keyframing (animation graph) was "another planet" level, as well as Nuke.... BlackMagic should think about "make it right" and fix rudimentary basic things that's easy to fix (keyframes). Imagine rewritten UI in QT, the same but with floating windows and panels and not one "fused" window................. Awesome tutorial as always 👏👍
Yes, we agree that the animation controls Fusion could benefit from some improvement. We're hoping improvements are on the cards for a future release. Leon
Amazing quality, as usual 🔥
Thanks so much. Appreciate you commenting.
Charming :-)
Always ☺️ Thanks for watching.
Thank you. This video is incredible on so many levels.
Thanks a lot. Appreciate having you here.
Couldnt pick a better time to release this video
We're hoping people find it helpful. Not trying to wade into whether or not people should switch, but we know are lot are looking to. Thanks so much.
Unfortunately when you look at job openings on LinkedIn, 90% are for adobe premiere. :(
Welcome to all new DaVinci Resolve users coming from Adobe! This video couldn't have come at a better time. Great tutorial as always.
Thank you
Thanks Stefan. That means a lot and we appreciate you watching!
excellent , thanks .
Thank-you Barrie
Love it🙏🏻
We appreciate that
@@team2films we appreciate you guys🤗
such a nice profesional tutorial idk how it's free , thanks
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy it.
That was insane! I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to apply this, yet, but the cogs are turning. Liked and subscribed. This one video was more helpful at showing the complexity of Fusion and how all of the pieces work together. Please do more of this type of work--beyond basic Fusion--keeping things short as you did here. It was also nice to see that things weren't perfect, as they normally aren't in real life. Thank you!
Thanks so much James. Great to have you here. We'll definitely crank out more stuff like this in the future.
I have a question, if I load another timeline with larger dimensions into my main timeline, all the parts of the timeline that extend beyond the bounds of the main timeline are cut out. How do I scale the larger timeline so it fits inside the smaller one without exporting?
You need to change the 'scaling' of that clip in the inspector or in the project settings. It's probably set to fill. Try fit instead.
