Shoutout to @Mona Weathers for the great question on my last video. She asked about presets and mentioned that she really wanted to understand how to set up a solid base project. That is something I lean on every time I start an edit, so I recorded a quick ten-minute walkthrough for everyone here. In the video, I break down how I build a clean starting point, how the project settings are structured, and why each piece matters for long-form editing. You can follow along and build your own from scratch, or if you want to save a little time, I dropped my exact base project template in case you want to download it and start using it right away. It is just a couple of dollars and can be opened in seconds. The video is attached below. Let me know if you have any questions or if you end up tweaking the template for your own workflow.

Hi everybody, I am facing some chanllenges with this clip. Firstly, I am not able to recover as much detail as the professional version on the red-lit fingers, without burning them. Secondly, is there a better approach to correct the color skin than using curve mas + tracking? Is the only way I found to avoid picking the darkness area of the image. Thanks! Btw, 1st pic is the clip after DWG conversion; 2nd is the professional grade, 3rd is my grade.

Hi, my name is Tomasz! So nice to join this group of fellow Resolvers :) I have only started using DR about a year ago and using it as creative outlet on my "experimental" YT account ;) Looking forward to learn more and to see other's work for inspiration and motivation! 🤞🏻🤜🏼🤛🏼

Thanks for making this video @Andrew Farmer ! It’s super helpful. I’ve been lazy about learning Resolve but this got me pumped to start learning it again. Question. How do you make a preset?

Hi community! I am trying to replicate the same colour as a learning path. But as you can see I am not able to... (mine is the centre one). In the Internet versión (left), the skin is softer and has a much better colour; but also there is a blue cast in the bench and in the floor that I am not able to replicate without contaminating the rest of the floor. Right now, I mostly use primaries RGB (no HDR, log just sometimes), masking/keys for skin and highlights, qualifiers, curves, and vignettes. Could you share what steps you would exactly follow to edit this shot? Maybe I am missing or mixing something in my flow. Btw, the right picture is without editing. Thanks!
