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.

Quick check-in before the weekend is gone. Share something from your week. It can be editing related, creative, personal, or just something that took more energy than you expected. This isn’t about showing finished work or proving anything. It’s just a place to name progress, friction, or momentum while it’s still fresh. Drop a sentence or two below if you want.

Drop anything you worked on or learned in Resolve this week. A timeline screenshot, a small win, something that finally clicked, or even something that was a little challenging. No polish required. This is practice, not performance. I’ll start. This week I worked on a couple raw videos for another channel that were shot on the Osmo Pocket 3. It was my first time really digging into D-Log M, and the color grading side of it was a bit challenging, but honestly fun. Learning a new camera and a new grading process always stretches me in a good way. Your turn. What did you work on or learn in Resolve this week?

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.

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?
