If you’ve ever opened DaVinci Resolve and immediately thought, “Well… there goes my entire day” 😅 you’re definitely not alone. A lot of beginners and busy creators get stuck in the same loop, scattered workflows, long timelines, and edits that somehow stretch across multiple days. It’s not that you’re doing anything wrong, it’s just really easy to get overwhelmed without structure. Over the last few months, I’ve been refining the exact workflow I personally use to make long-form edits feel more repeatable and manageable. This is being built very intentionally with beginners and busy creators in mind, not professional editors and not film-school style theory 🎬🚫 Instead of complex features, the focus is on simple structure and clear editing passes. When each part of the process has one job, decision fatigue drops way down and editing starts to feel calmer and faster. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s finishing with consistency and confidence 💪 This workflow I’ve been refining is becoming the foundation of what premium members will get next, and I’m really excited about how it’s coming together. If you’re curious, I’ll be sharing more as it comes together in the next few weeks. 🤗

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 👇

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 👋
