Quick heads up, I just added 6 brand new videos to the Getting Started in Resolve folder inside the Foundations Library 🎉 These are for true, complete beginners, like if you have never opened Resolve before, or you opened it once and immediately closed it because everything looked overwhelming, this is for you. The new videos walk through the absolute basics, step by step, no assumptions made: - Installing Resolve and opening your first project - Understanding the interface and what you are actually looking at - What each page is for and when to use it - Setting your project frame rate correctly - Importing media into the Media Pool - Creating bins and organizing footage If you have ever felt like you were “behind” or didn’t know where to start, this is your on-ramp. Nothing fancy, nothing advanced, just the foundations you need to feel comfortable opening Resolve and moving around without stress. If that sounds like you, head to the Classroom and begin with Getting Started in Resolve. And if you know someone in the community who is brand new, feel free to tag them below 👇

It’s not about learning every feature in DaVinci Resolve, and it’s not about editing like a professional filmmaker. It’s about helping busy creators and solopreneurs actually finish long form videos without feeling overwhelmed every time they open Resolve. If you’re new and things feel slow or confusing already, that’s normal. Resolve has a lot going on, and the beginning always feels clunky. Progress here looks like opening the app again, making small improvements, and slowly building confidence, not getting everything right.

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 👋
