Nothing against anyone else that teaches DaVinci, but so far, you’re the only one I’ve watched that makes this complex subject and software digestible. Thank you for that

[Plisko]

Fun fact: They are called "Film Bins" in a lot of programs because back when the old timers were editing the actual film, they would cut the shots out of the roll with a razor and hang them by the sprocket holes on hooks set up in a special rack. The shots could be very long... many feet of film... so rather than letting the film create a pile on the floor, the rack was built over a special bin that collected it. This whole arrangement was just called "a bin". Shots were organized into the bins and the bins could be rolled around and organized or pulled in as the editor needed. Editing back then was done on a desk sized contraption and the film was cut into pieces and taped back together with special tape that had sprocket holes. Sound was on a seperate roll running in sync, and it was basically magnetic tape with sprockets that was also cut and taped in sequence with the film. You could build multiple tracks of sound but you could never hear more than two of them together until it was mixed down with several machines all running the many reels of sound together in synch. Man what a pain it all was.

After watching so many videos, Daniel in my opinion is the best, the way he explains things is super easy to understand and easy to follow, He has a gift, thanks bud.

As a public educator with 16 years experience and someone, like most people today, who has learned a number of skills on youtube, I have to compliment you on your teaching. Amazing job sir!

Slow enough to follow, detailed without getting lost in things that can come later. You focused on the big picture, explained what each piece was along the way. I’ve watched 30-50 videos on everything from iMove, Final Cut express (15 years ago), to Luma Fusion and now DaVinci Resolve and you are the best teacher I have had the experience from learned from. Kudos to you for teaching so well.

Not only did I learn a ton, I felt confident in what I knew straight away. That confidence is due to your excellent teaching and guidance.

Job well done!

[mialynnrivers]

I'm stoked you are teaching Davinci! I began using it a few months ago and still have so much to learn. Unfortunately, most tutorial videos on YouTube are a bit confusing for me. Your method of teaching is easier to digest... you get to the point without overwhelming us noobs. ;)

[PeachysPlace]

Daniel when you explain it, I feel like - I can do this. Your delivery is easy to follow and you explain enough so that we can talk ourselves through something while working with it. I like that you are giving just morsels of information about the many features (because yes explaining everything all at once get confusing). For us beginners this is awesome because these tips can help us edit a video and get some bearings in the program. We can try something else next time, but the more we use it, the more we can do down the line. Thanks, I can't wait to try again - I tried it and got overwhelmed so I am going to give it another shot.

[aussierednecksinger]

I would truly like to thank Filmora for all they have done lately. Without their actions I would not have such an excellent teacher to teach me how to use Davinci Resolve. I really needed this. Thank you Daniel and thank you Filmora. 💕

[ZEROFORTYONE]

Daniel, don't worry about the experts. What is most important is HOW YOU TEACH, NOT HOW MUCH YOU KNOW. I have worked with experts in many areas but they are poor teachers, you get your message across clearly and most importantly you stay on the rails and stay on point, this is how people learn, thanks brotha!

[RichardJPhotog]

I have to say..Ive been a photographer since 1984. I dabbled in video this year an was overwhelmed. Ive installed then un-installed this software at least a dozen times. Completely confused and frustrated. I watched your video, worked along side it and ive got to say..pretty damn impressed with my results. Thank you so much for doing this. Simple, neat and explained in a way even a caveman can understand. Kudos Brother, and thank you again.

[OdinAdventures]

For all of you wondering where the toolbox is (if you can't find it when he shows it), just click on that Effects button once (that pencil with the stars thingy on the top left next to Media Pool). Btw, great video !!!

[MyPortugueseCulture]

Free version is faster than filmoras paid version

[AnandaGarden]

Thank you, Daniel. You kept your word - you didn't wander into the details, and that's what I needed.

[ÁzsiábaSzakadtam]

Wow thanks Daniel! I'm using it for 3 years, and even though now I paid for the Studio, I can tell anyone here that the free version is more than enough to edit 4k videos for YouTube.
One crucial matter for quality is the Mbps value on the delivery page. It has to be set generously, actually way over the value that people can see here and there advised.

[bernardcolasurdo]

Thank You for not moving so fast like other YouTubers. You are a great teacher keep up the great work. We Noobs appreciate it!!!

[OwenEDell]

Brilliant. You are a master teacher. I feel like I understood every word and can move forward quickly. Not everyone can explain things that well. Thanks for a straight up approach and perfect clarity. I have subscribed!

[johnhoover]

Thank you Daniel. As others have stated, your style and concise direction are NOT confusing and following along is far easier than other Teachers' videos on Davinci Resolve. I appreciate your time and knowledge to help us "Noobies" get a working useable handle on how this sophisticated software can be manipulated without having a degree in Rocket Science from MIT. I've only found a couple of you guys who instruct properly rather than impress totally. That's impressive to me. Rock On!

[melsdarkopera]

So far, the free version has served me well. Davinci Resolve allows me to do all the basic stuff I need to breathe life into my videos. I'm not used to editing programs that have different pages. It was a minor adjustment, yet a welcomed one. I'm able to take several duplicate clips and make one compound clip which helps since my videos are an hour long (music playlist type stuff). It also helps me keep track of things because I get confused easily 😂
PS: tysm for showing us the "bin" feature. It's something I definitely need to stay organized and on track!

[westcoaststackers]

Thanks Daniel, you are the absolutely the clearest Davinci teacher on YouTube. You are engaging, funny, and you use all the video elements with closeups and texts to make your points. Thank you!

[duchenedesignsolutions]

I am switching from Premier and I stumbled across your video. I am 10 minutes in and I can’t believe how easy you are making this. I can’t wait to see what other videos you have. Your method of teaching is exactly what most users want…just show us how to make a video and don’t go over all the fluff along the way. This is great!

[papachaz]

Daniel, thank you so much for doing these videos. I only make videos for family and friends. Just ordinary moment in time type videos but I had gotten so frustrated with trying to learn software and editing, I just gave up filming all together. I saw one of your videos about DaVinci resolve and decided to watch a few more and see if maybe I could learn something this time. Well, I have been learning. You explain it a way that is clear and understandable to me. Also you break it down into small sections that are not overwhelming or intimidating. I have begun filming again and even though I’m not where I want to be in my editing, I know that with the guidance you have provided and practice, I will be able to get there. So thank you again for helping to reignite the passion and enthusiasm that I had when I first began filming moments with family and friends. Much love brother and I wish you much success and happiness.
