Your video is so helpful. I finally understand the modes!

[CascadesHomebrew]

Thank! This was very helpful and cleared up a few things I have not seen covered in other tutorials. Dynamic Mode (and the Slip/Slide toggle) really confused me. It looks like it would be much more useful with one of the custom keypads. I don't think I could get use to editing with JKL keys.

Thanks for the complete explanation and for pointing out the differences between the modes !

The background music in your video is too loud and distracting. Made it hard to understand what you were saying.

[brianbystrek]

After a year of learning DaVinci, this is one of the clearest to understand and most complete explanation that I've come across. Really appreciate that you took the time to make it. Looking forward to watching more of your Resolve content.

Lose the very distracting background music please. It makes what could be a very useful video unwatchable.

Music superceeds voice - nonaudiable commentry!

[WarBeer]

Fantastic video! One of the best I've seen so far! Right to the point on all accounts;)

[zweitacount]

The audio is terrible. The left ear is meant for music, while the right one is for the speaker's voice. It's quite confusing.

*All this requires already trimmed clips (parts cut off from the beginning and start)

[janintelkor]

the selection mode video moving is so stupid, why delete the clip fragment? In vegas it would do automatic cross-fade, such basic feature, and it was easier to re-arange clips

[fletcherbrown]

Great information but way to hard to listen to. Music is WAY to loud and your dialogue is only on the stereo left channel.

[karnitmandel]

I have no idea how anyone could focus on the content, I could not. The back music is louder than the VO .

[ozzmanzz]

Thank You, Thank you!!! I had no idea about using JKL with dynamic trim mode. Thanks for taking the time to post this.

[simongarrettmusic]

What happened to your audio? Vocals are only in the left

[tanyadolinari]

BRILLIANT lesson! Thank you VERY MUCH!!! Tanya

[WillDanceAloneU]

Really amazing video!! Thank you so much for posting this.

[Pingijno]

Please remember about evening the volume of the right ear/left ear tracks
It's quite bothering for some ear-sensitive people

[Tommoful]

I recently went from Vegas 14 to davinci and the way it deletes the clip if u run a different clip on top of it in davinci was really strange to me. In vegas it just sits on top until u move it... Im getting used to it now but that was really a problem for me to begin with.

[philcaffrey]

Really like the content - helped a lot.

May I make a suggestion? I found the music quite distracting - I don't think I'm alone in thinking that music is probably unnecessary for this kind of vid. Just a thought.

Thanks for your work
