Bro i was close to deleting the software cuz it all seemed like flying the starship enterprise, till i came across this video and now i realize i was actually born for this!

[YourDad]

My guy really just showed us the way of life in 35 minutes with no ads... a legend

[catinsured]

This is the best tutorial I've ever seen on Youtube. Ever.
Straight to the point, you used chapters to split the video up so I can skim through to what I need, and you speak calmly and efficiently. Excellent work!

[jackperez]

Thank you for this. I've been a director for 25 years, and always missed cutting (out of necessity, as you know, editors cut while directors shoot). But I've forced myself to get back to the blade - first Premiere, and now Da Vinci. And your instruction is bang-on. Clear, effective and inspiring. Again, many thanks!

[SpaceGringosD]

A video with no ads? you bet your ass imm a do everything to help this mans algorithm out. liked, commented and subscribed.

[MarwanMahdy]

are you sure this is a beginners tutorial?? you basically told us how to make a living out of video editing in 35 mins. awesome job man.

[deepfriedgg]

I'm a total beginner and this literally gave me everything I needed to get started. Easy to follow and understand. Thank you

[TheJayson]

You can tell a lot of effort was put into this. This is a textbook example on how to make a great tutorial. Fantastic work.

[chinmayanand.s]

34:36 mins of no ads...just love this tutorial bro

[Mario]

This guy is so selfless sharing everything. Plus no adds. Thank you Justin, really appreciate it! It's people like this that growing up made me want to give back to the world!

22:29 Protip, don't let it get to 0 even when recording. If you use analog board and record into digital, you must observe it won't get above 0 as it is possible in analog signals. You could place a limiter there to prevent it going above.

[djliksu]

Zero flippancy
Zero condescension
💯 useful information.

Great content brother.
Really helpful. Thanks loads.

[percival]

Dude, those subject titles at the bottom of your video is pure genius.

[sam.mankar]

9:20
The shortcuts are changed in Resolve 17
Backspace -> removes selected clip with gap
Delete -> removes selected clip without gap (sticks)

[tarynjames]

I have NEVER watched a tutorial straight through. You are a gifted teacher. Nothing wasted here - every word counted.
Thanks for making this amazing software accessible.
(From someone born when physically splicing and gluing actual film together was the only editing option!)

[mariaferrarazz]

What an amazing piece of work here! The content timeline at the bottom is one of the best pedagogical tools I've ever seen. You are super clear, super concise and come across lively and warm making the whole thing feel like it's going to be a breeze. I'm subscribing to carry on learning!

[manu-raghavan-pv]

This is honestly so good. I had uninstalled Da Vinci because of being frustrated with the learning curve but you literally made me want to install it again and try it out. And the whole video is not monetized. Amazing!

[rekhamani]

justin: dont go over board with transitions.
indian serial makers: ill pretend i didnt hear that

[xalibas]

Im a total beginner and im completely lost down in minute 4, this is rather advanced as there are many people thanking you for going so deep. Good for them
