After spending nearly 6-7 hours over the course of multiple days constantly backtracking through this 35 minute YouTube video so I could follow along with each step as closely as possible I am finally complete.
This has been the best resource on YouTube for taking that first step into DaVinci Resolve and I will be referring back to this video as I begin my journey into this editing software

FOR SLOW COMPUTERS using Davinci...disabling playback while rendering will usually solve crashing while rendering issues. Right clicking on timeline then clicking ripple delete will snap all files on the timeline back together for you. It will snap from right to left. While editing I use spacebar to play & pause while using L key to bump up playback speed to 2x, 4x, 8x etc. Keys J, K & L are playback speed keys. Once I figured all out my computer quit crashing & my editing speed increased dramatically. One more thing for slow computers... if Davinci starts to get laggy, the solution for me is saving the project, closing & reopening Davinci. I hope this comment saves someone from misery.

I've watched several tutorials on Davinci Resolve and, somehow they all missed the mark and I've been teaching myself. This one helps me to understand the processes much easier. Thank you

[DDCardinal]

The first tip alone saves me soooo much time. TY. I'm new to YT and devinci and have only edited videos a bit so this video is priceless.

Video editing is the most beginner friendly skill ever, getting good at will obviously not be overnight, but at start you're getting something decent out of it, unlike some other software's where it takes several months before you get anything that's alright. Great tutorial 🍀

[_alexgamos]

Wow! This is comprehensive. I've edited a bunch of videos on Resolve. But this still gives me so much to work on. Thanks man! :)

As an audio pro for nearly 30 years I can say with some authority that Curtis Judd's channel is an excellent place to learn about audio for video. ;)

😇Hi Nate! I've been using DaVinci Resolve for 3 years now and I love it. I happened to notice a link to your video and decided to check it out in case there was a tip or trick that I didn't know, because every user has a different style. I did catch a couple of of cool tricks, but what impressed me the most was your delivery. You have a warm way of speaking to your viewers that is calming and informative. You're not speaking above or below anyone's intellect, but instead, explaining in a user-friendly manner that most will appreciate. I enjoyed watching your content. Best to you!

[carterphotography]

Nate you are a phenomenal teacher! One of the best short tutorials I've seen! Thank you

[SirGregoryFamilyYouTube]

There's some fancy stuff in there, but seeing you doing it, and describing it with your calm voice, makes it the best intro to DR I've seen.

[ThomsenTower]

Wow, what an excellent tutorial video! Of course one can, and must, go much deeper, but this is a great, and very encouraging, start. Thank you!

[UdegbunamChuks]

I consider myself an average- mid level DR user and I still learnt new tips from this ❤❤❤

[krassimirmarkov]

Super useful and helpful video. Thank you!

[richardpowell]

Wonderful tutorial! I've been using Premier Pro for years, recently switched away from Adobe due to their policies. This is an excellent straightforward tutorial. I am thoroughly enjoying Resolve

[WhatchaGotSay]

Bruh I’m not going to lie. When I first saw the thumbnail I was like, this isn’t Nolan, where is Nolan 😅 But hey Nathan 👋🏽 it’s nice to meet you!

[iTzZigma]

Hope to see Nathan on more videos like this breaking down videos on da Vinci resolve.

You explained everything very clearly and I’m feeling more confident in my editing now.

Cant wait for more from you Nathan

[glenforbes]

Excellent tutorial, you are an awesome teacher. I'm new to DaVinci and was just about to quit for another program but thank God I came across your tutorial.
After watching this, I imported all my finished projects to timeliness with intentions of applying the techniques you taught.
Thank you Sir.

[ahmedeldamati]

Thank you a lot for this tutorial, Greetings from Egypt 🙏

[blackbearranchcanada]

THANK YOU! I've downloaded Resolve and it's fantastic. Finally, a great (and free!) video editing software package!

This video is an excellent tutorial for beginners. Well done; simple, clear, and effective.
