People who make tutorials are a gift to mankind

@immerweiterraus

Coming from iMovie, I was so overwhelmed with all the features da Vinci has to offer. Thank's for your tutorial - I wish I had found it earlier.

@ruikvz

i was a capcut editor, and i came across davinci. when i first started everything overwhelmed me and i had thoughts of switching back to capcut. this tutorial helped me alot thanks!

@barbiebrenda

Please enable in this video the possibility to pay you a "Thanks" either $5 or more  in YouTube because this video deserves that
You are an angel man!
You saved me!

I’ve just started using Davinci  Resolve and this video has got to be the best introduction video for new starters to date.  Many thanks

@joshsiegelguitar

Just got done with my first 90 minutes on the program. This was super helpful and well edited.

@nikkihstokes

Some additional thoughts, when I followed your steps with a new install of DR 18.6 on my Windows 10 machine, some of the panels you showed were not visible by default and I really struggled to find how to display them. These questions are SO basic that no-one bothers to answer them anywhere.

For example, the "Control Room" panel was extremely hard to find. I eventually found it:
Workspace > Show Panel in Workspace > Meters

Similarly, I couldn't find the Audio options for trying dialogue levelling, until I figured out I needed the Inspector selected on the top right.

So a basics video is incredibly helpful, until there's something different between your interface and what we see, and then we're completely screwed. Something to consider for next time. Thanks again.

@Reaperknives

Watching this after the cap cut ban. This is 10 times better than that app. I feel like I’ve solved the davinci code

I just learned about Davinci Resolve about 30 minutes ago (I was trying to find an alternative to Premiere because it's just way too much for me). Found this video and I'm super impressed. I have a hard time learning these programs and you break down the basics so well. Thank you for making this video.

Excellent video! I have not ever electronically edited a video, when I was in high school (1970s) we edited 16mm film by literally cutting and splicing. My son has edited with DaVinci Resolve and is going to coach me. Your video is very helpful and encouraging - now I'm not scared to try. I fly as a hobby and I've started taking an action camera along.

@merlinwalden

Thank you so much dude! Very simple - very helpful :D

@roscosity

This was SUCH a concise guide to jumping in and starting, wonderful stuff Ben!

@JohnSanders33

NICESTER! "I'm a CapCut refugee and was looking for something free and simple to edit my YouTube music videos—this is perfect! You covered everything I needed to know. Fantastic video, thank you so much!"👍

@lux.produces

anyone else here with the capcut ban/everything becoming paid lol

@scp-682-cu6

Thank u. I avoided this program despite the overwhelmingly positive reviews for one reason only. So many people were saying there's a steep learning curve and that it's not beginner friendly. While that may be true, it's far less intimidating than I thought. It looks ultra helpful and cool. Perhaps even better organized than what I was using before, and with far more tools. I'm actually glad I encountered an unfixable error with the old one and was forced to consider this far superior option. And as someone who has no income currently, I really could not have asked for anything better.

@lanahtyra

Very clear and straight to the point, thank you! I was using Premier Pro and Vegas before, just wanted a quick walkthrough to familiarise myself with DaVinci Resolve's layout and this guide was perfect for it.

@geofflittler2035

I have been using Davinci for about 2 weeks now. It has been a real baptism of fire with a learning curve that on my second day gave me nosebleeds. Your tutorial has been a massive help to me. Your trick if keeping it straightforward, simple and idiot proof (even for me) has been a blessing. I would add that I really stumbled when trying to find the audio keyframe tab. I now realise after reading comments on tutorial that in order for the tab to become visible you need to have done some, any editing beforehand. Love the tutorial 😂

@benoitroberge

Just downloaded Davinci and this was super helpful. Thanks!

@gepardiari8710

yeah there are tons of creators doing the same thing, but you stand out cause of the simplicity and coherency of your content. really love your stuff. thanks
