Dude it's so insane. I'm quarantined home with a corona infection and just wanted to beef up my DaVinci skills for a bit instead of doing nothing. Now i'm completely stuck on your videos for 3 days straight. Can't wait for your premium animate template versions you told me a view videos ago.
You, Dunna Did It and Joris Hermans tought me than a vocational training ever could the last three days. Thanks a lot man. I can't even tell you how thankful i am. I will buy your premium templates, even if i wouldn't need them.

Dude!! over the past couple of years of watching your AMAZING videos i have learned a TON thank you for helping us poor videographers trying to up our game!!! you have exceeded beyond your expectations i would think!!

[leesmith]

There's never a time I come here I don't learn one heck-of-a lot; thanks so much for the great work, Alex.

Thanks for all the cool new stuff to try out. For me this program is like a 7 day cruise I took one year with Royal Caribbean on a Hugh ship Oasis class. I spent the whole week revisting the fun area that I found. It wasnt until my last night that I found a hidden gem of a restaurant (that is free also). I said oh I wish I had seen this earlier in the cruise and the server said well why didnt you know about us? It is very easy to get to know and like a few features to get comfortable with them. Like the ship they dont really push all the things that you can do. I appreciate you taking the time to show us all the other fun stuff to try out.

Love open fx crop, super useful for those times when you want to quickly reuse crops. Then again i've now mostly moved on to use fusion adjustment layers for reusing crops, but still so helpful.

[Ryzza]

I'm surprised at how surprisingly useful these are.

11:36 this has to be the single best feature for me. I love adding stroke or outer glow to things in my thumbnails, or images/videos shown in smaller frames on the screen while I'm commentating over them. Actually perfect!

Anybody try to go back a tad and try using his DiVinci screen to do so? Just me, Ha!

This guy is so talented, it's quite perplexing!

[BrianBrayMedia]

Thanks for this. I've really struggled with creating simple borders around insets. The Colored Border effect is basically useless, so I'm very happy to see it can be done within the Paper Edge effect. Worth watching just for that, but the other effects are very cool too.

[Studios]

This was a collection of treasure! Thank you .

[MyMediaChops]

The paper edge effect is so helpful because prior to this if I wanted to use a mask the color border as as you showed it ignores it.
But now there's finally a way to put a border around a masked item.
Thanks for sharing awesome tips as always and even though I'm familiar with half of these tools I always learn something new to do with them from your videos.
The watermark feature looks awesome but can you limited it to only show one image instead of an entire row of images?

[ChasLarge]

Wow that was, what shall I say... um... er.. Surprisingly Useful! Thanks Alex, much appreciated.

[ClueFPS]

That tip about adding a transform effect is such a life saver!

[zarzycka.editor]

Great tips :) I'd love to see more about effects on edit page, they have so much to offer when you play around with the settings.

[V-adventurous]

Thanks for the video I didn’t even know I could do all that in DR.

[Sustainavore]

OMG, this fixed my frustration with the border tool. Thank you!

I recon that hungry caterpillar has been eating your doughnuts!
