Thanks this info is very detailed and helpful

Very informative, but just a suggestion for fully scripted videos like this: Introduce small speech pauses of about half to one second between topics or sections, otherwise the video is difficult to digest because you don't really get an intuitive feel about that

Thanks, really helpful. The whole database set up of Davinci is a big black box. You make it easier. One idea I'd appreciate: if you just make up say 3 different users: #1: Beginner YouTubers with low experience and not interested in advanced techniques. #2: Basic corporate work: Stepping it up to fulfill paid deals. Still not advanced. Practical, get it done and deliver good quality. But still not super advanced. #3: Top pro level. Advanced features.
For example: I need some pro features - but I will not go to HDR / S-log / LUTS level for at least a year. I dont have time or interest to learn that stuff. Its great - but not for me now. Thanks again! especially the 1st video of this series - saved the day...

hi, if I set project timeline in hd and my footage is 4k ( final video will be hd ), will it then my footage go hd? I 'm asking because i need to crop some 4k footage!

Hi. I really don’t believe that the choice between Full or Video data levels will have any effect on a slower PC. It’s got nothing to do with performance at all. It’s about where black and white points are at on your monitor. You should set that to match what your monitor is capable of. This is not a performance issue, but one of matching and calibration.
