Quick heads up if editing still feels slow or heavier than it should, even on simple projects. Tomorrow, Friday, January 9th at 10 am EST, I’ll be on a live beginner workshop inside @Des Dreckett's Content Revenue Lab community. This isn’t about advanced features or fancy techniques. It’s about learning how to think through an edit so Resolve feels simpler and faster to work in. What I’ll be covering: 🧠 The mental shifts that make editing feel lighter 📐 An overview of a 3-pass approach to editing, so you’re not doing everything at once ✂️ Why certain cuts and decisions speed things up over time 📝 Practical examples like ripple delete silences and editing with transcript ⌨️ A few small shortcuts and trimming habits that add up quickly If you’re newer to Resolve or you’ve been using it but still feel unsure about your process, this session will help connect the dots and make editing feel more intentional. The workshop is hosted live inside Content Revenue Lab, so you’ll need to join that FREE community to attend. Hope to see some of you there 👋

If you want your edits to move faster, try this today. Use Ripple Delete instead of just Delete for cleanup. When you’re cutting out mistakes, pauses, or dead space, don’t slice, delete, and drag clips back together. Instead, select the clip you want gone, press delete (with Ripple Delete on). Resolve will close the gap automatically and keep everything in sync. It’s a tiny habit, but over a long edit, it saves a surprising amount of time and mental energy, especially on talking head videos. If you already use this, cool. If not, try it on your next edit and notice how much smoother the timeline feels. What’s one small thing in Resolve that helped your edits feel less slow once you discovered it?

Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you joined recently or you’ve been here from the start, I’m genuinely grateful you’re part of this community. Resolve School exists because people want to learn, grow, get better, and that’s something I don’t take lightly. I hope today and tomorrow is filled with rest, good conversations, and time with the people that matter most. Editing will always be there this weekend. Resolve will still open. The timeline can wait. Wishing you and your families a peaceful and meaningful Christmas.

Every week usually has one thing that’s quietly taking up the most mental space. What’s that thing for you right now? Could be a video you want to finally finish, a creative direction you’re unsure about, a deadline, a decision you’ve been avoiding, or a goal you’re trying to take seriously again. Drop a sentence or two in the comments. Sometimes just naming it is enough to get momentum back.

Happy December everyone. Hard to believe we are officially in the final month of the year already. If you are in the US, I hope you had a great holiday weekend if you happened to celebrate it, but either way it feels good to hit this last stretch of the year with some fresh energy. I have been thinking a lot about what I want to learn and build in 2026, and I would love to hear the same from you. What do you want to get better at inside Resolve next year? What skills are you chasing? What is one thing that keeps slowing you down that you want to finally understand? On my side, I am deep into building out the full 60-day program that will take someone who is brand new to Resolve and get them confidently creating professional-looking edits in two months. I am outlining lessons, recording content, and organizing the full path right now, and the plan is to launch it in January 2026. No exact date yet, but it is coming together and I am excited for it. Since you are already here in the community before launch, you will get a major discount (maybe even free 😃) on that program once it opens. I also want to take a minute and welcome all the new members who joined in November. The community is growing steadily and it has been awesome seeing more questions, posts and conversations happen. Glad you are here. @Charlotte Matthew , @Karen Castillo , @Mansi Dharmshot , @Danny Hsieh , @Sidney Nowakowski , @Tobi Bambida , @Danele Louw , @Muavia Jadoon , @Benjamin Lanin , @Mario Ramirez , @Daryl Duchatschek , @Jeffrey Toering , @Louisa Burford , @Steve DuPree , @Daniel Ribeiro , @Francisco Reina , @Imtiaz Khan , @Andrew Lachapelle , @David Rene , @Ognyan Ognyanov , @Akhil B , @Usra Mrf , @Jared Mallon , @Christian Szeliangowski , @Laura Cruz
