You're the 1st reason I recently switched to Davinci Resolve and God it's so beautifully organized and well-structured.

[iamjwang]

Thank you so much for this! Super approachable and reducing my sense of overwhelm 😅

[qorbani-tech]

This is basiclly the most simplified and entertaining DaVinci tutorial I ever seen 👌 "Less is More" and you nailed it in building this tutorial 👏

Just found your channel. And wow your content is GOD TIER. Thanks so much for teaching a guy like me that has never edited and wants to learn to lose the fear and be more confident to tackle editing as its not so scary as it seems.

Hope your elbow is okay! Great intro though, glad you could use it

[jaydraws]

I watched many tutorials. This one is the best for beginners.

Joris, man this is excellent. I've seen many of these intros to DR for beginners and they are way overdone with a length anywhere from 50 min to 2 hrs. I start them and never finish them. Yours made me feel I could actually do a great video after 14 min of watching. Okay, make that 17 min because I jumped over to your 3 min Shortcut Keys video in the middle of this one, then returned to finish this workflow. You have given me a lot of confidence here to get a video done now. Specifically, this is a great length to actually help a beginner do a Resolve start-to-finish edit. The audio segment is tremendous including enough tips to cover a lot of music options AND by utilizing keyframes painlessly. The solid color effect clips as temporary place holders for B-Roll is brilliant. The opener tip about get your A-Roll inserted first and a rough cut done is a game-changer for me, and it makes so much sense for beginners to do it that way. There is way more, and all of it good! Thanks, this will be my official guideline for simplified editing in Resolve. ⭐x5

Great video as always particularly like the mix of humour and information funny you mentioned beer I did like that segment in your previous "undeniable logic" vids I watched this while supping a Leffe Brune keep up the good work 👍

[AnimeNingen.]

Your video was really easy to watch even if I had been watching it as a beginner, I would've definitely loved it!

[abdallahtanveer]

this was very helpful can you also make a da vinci tutorial for making instagram reels

[markinman]

Great video Joris. I love your content.
As someone starting out as video editing, I be keen to hear your insight as why you would use certain technique over another. For example, why use a fade transition versus a straight cut.

[gino]

this is the best video tutorial and simplest that made me follow easily, kudos to you! :)

[bunkertons]

Ooooh, buddy! I felt that elbow smack!
