Building a lead magnet for beginners, would love your thoughts
I wanted to think out loud here and get some feedback from you all. As Resolve School continues to grow, I have been spending more time thinking about what a good entry point looks like for complete beginners. Not just something that looks nice on a landing page, but something that actually helps people feel less overwhelmed the first time they open Resolve. A lot of lead magnets in the editing space end up being text templates, transitions, or visual presets. Those can be useful later, but in my experience, most beginners struggle before the edit even starts. Blank projects, messy timelines, confusing export settings, not knowing what is safe to change, that friction stacks up fast. So instead of building a flashy template pack, I am leaning toward creating a Resolve Starter Pack as a free entry point. (@Andrew Lachapelle is actully is doing something very similar, and it looks great, so feel free to DM if you want) The idea would be something simple and calm, built specifically for beginners and busy creators: - A clean, sensible timeline layout (color-coded and labeled) - A simple bin structure for organization - A couple of safe, boring-in-a-good-way export presets - Color PowerdGrade preset - Each piece is available individually, but also bundled into one ready-to-use starter project Along with that, I am thinking it would include: - A short PDF explaining what each piece is for - A quick video walkthrough showing how it all works and how to use it without overthinking anything Worth noting, pieces of this already exist inside the 3 Hour Edit System project setup I will be launching soon. This would not be exactly that. This would be a more simplified, stripped-back version meant purely as a starting point for people who are brand new to Resolve. Something that helps them open the software and feel like, “Okay, this makes sense,” before they ever worry about speed, polish, or systems.

Thanks for mentioning me Andrew! Simplifying the confusion isn’t easy. The plan is close to yours coming from a slightly different direction. Pretty sure our end goal is the same though. Help beginners feel more comfortable and confident editing in Resolve. Best place to start is with beginners or those struggling to understand the workflow. Your community here is perfect for this and I hope people give you the answers you need to create the workflow they’d love to use.
