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 👇

I’m gathering real examples from Resolve School members so beginners can see how other creators are actually using Resolve in real life, not polished tutorials, just honest workflows. If you’re open to being featured, drop a comment and share • What type of videos you edit • Your current experience level with Resolve • One thing that still feels slow or clunky in your workflow This isn’t about being advanced or perfect. The goal is learning from real setups and real constraints. Appreciate you all 🤗

Just dropped a new video on the channel and I spent some time digging through cinematic LUTs from CineColor and wanted to share a handful that really stood out to me going into 2026. This is not sponsored, they did not preview the video, and I would not have posted it if I didn’t actually like what I was seeing. Most of the video is me inside DaVinci Resolve dropping these as finishing LUTs, especially the Christopher Nolan and Roger Deakins inspired packs. I love LUTs that don’t break skin tones or wreck your colors, and these felt more like a final polish after a solid grade, not a shortcut that fights your image. I also show a quick example of how I’ll isolate colors, like protecting reds, so the LUT does its thing without crushing or shifting areas I want to keep clean. Simple stuff, but really powerful if you’re using cinematic looks regularly. If you want to check them out yourself, here’s the link to CineColor You can also use "AF15" at checkout to get 15 percent off anything in their store, LUTs, film grain, log conversions, all of it. If you watch the video, let me know which look you liked most, or if you already have a go to cinematic LUT you swear by. I’m always down to test new ones.

This is a paid pack, because it’s something I personally wanted in my own workflow and ended up building it. These are finishing LUTs inspired by classic Kodak film stocks and shaped toward a 2383 print look, meant to live at the very end of your grade, not to fix exposure or balance issues. Right now, it’s $9 as a 50% off launch price through the end of the year. On January 1st, 2026, it’ll move to $19 going forward. No pressure at all. If you already have a look you love, great. If you’ve ever wanted a faster way to get to a finished, film-leaning look without overthinking nodes, this is exactly what I built it for. Find it here → This is also the first pack in a small series like this. I’m already working on a Fujifilm stock emulation pack using the same approach, just a very different color feel. If you grab it, I’d love to hear which LUT you end up using most and what kind of footage you’re throwing it on.

This week is a weird one. Energy is low, routines are off, and that’s normal. After you answer the question below, drop a comment with one sentence: 👉 What’s the smallest next action that would make this week feel like a win? Not a big goal, just the next right step. For me, it’s finally finishing and uploading a video I’ve been sitting on after spending a lot of time with family last week. That’s it. One step, one sentence. Poll question: Which one best describes your editing headspace right now?
