Just dropping this in here for you guys, Resolve 21 is officially out in beta, and there’s actually a lot in this update. I grabbed two solid videos that break everything down so you can skim through the features and see what actually matters without wasting time digging through release notes. A few things that stood out to me right away: - AI IntelliSearch → being able to search clips by what’s in them (objects, faces, dialogue) is a big workflow shift - AI Cine Focus → finally a blur tool that actually looks natural and handles edges well - Speech Generator → built-in text-to-speech with custom voice options, more useful than I expected for small fixes - Magic Mask caching → not having to re-track masks every time is a legit quality of life win - New Photo Page → full photo workflow inside Resolve, feels like they’re pushing toward replacing Lightroom There’s also a bunch of smaller quality-of-life stuff that honestly adds up more than the headline features. Quick heads up, though, this is beta. Expect bugs, and don’t throw it on a critical project without backing things up first. Go check out the videos and see what stands out to you. Curious what you guys actually think is useful vs just new and shiny 👇

First AMA is in the books. Small group this time, but honestly this is exactly how these get good, more real conversation, less noise. This format is open to everyone, so bring whatever you’re working through next time. WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT: - Screen replacements and why they’re harder than they look - Color grading struggles, especially getting consistent results - Plugins vs learning the tools inside Resolve - Building simple workflows and “recipes” for repeatable edits - The reality of learning creative tools, you don’t ever fully “arrive” - How production (what you shoot) affects what you can do in post - Growing on YouTube with simple, searchable videos BIG TAKEAWAY: Most of the struggle isn’t tools, it’s knowing what to do and having a repeatable way to do it. That’s what we’re building here. NEXT AMA: Bring your questions, editing, lighting, workflow, anything. If you can’t make it live, drop your question below and I’ll cover it on the call.

Let’s hear what went well this week. Big or small, it all counts. Anything related to your video work. Some ideas: - Finished a video - Landed a client - Upgraded gear - Tried something new - Improved something you’ve been working on Drop your win below. Always good to see what people are building. VIDEO FEEDBACK 🎬 Trying something new here. If you’re working on a real video and want feedback, send me a DM with a link. I’m going to pick one or two submissions and do a full breakdown for the community. So if you submit, just know this won’t be a private critique, it’ll be something I walk through and share so everyone can learn from it. You can send: - A rough cut - A finished video - A short section you’re unsure about If there’s something specific you want me to focus on, let me know when you send it.

I’m going to start to do more breakdowns inside the community. The goal of these posts isn’t just learning the software. But it’s learning how to make better videos overall. That includes editing, storytelling, pacing, lighting, and the full video process. In this simple breakdown, I walk through an intro from one of my recent videos and talk about: - pacing - structure - editing choices - what I’d improve next time Drop your critiques in the comments below 👇

I’ve noticed there have been a lot of good questions lately, mostly around the membership tiers and the 3-Hour Edit System, and a few people asking for clarification on how things fit together. So instead of answering everything piecemeal, I figured it’d be easier (and more fun) to just hop on a call and talk it through with you. I’m going to use the Resolve Room live call tomorrow at 1 PM Eastern as an open info and hangout session. Normally, those calls are for Premium and VIP members, but this one is open to everyone in the community. If you’re curious about: • The different membership options • How the 3-Hour Edit System actually works in practice • What’s coming next inside Resolve School • Or you just want to meet some of the people here and ask questions live Come hang out. No pressure, no pitchy vibes. Just a conversation, some clarity, and a chance to put faces to names. Would love to see you there 🤝 If you can't make it live, then ask your questions or thoughts in the comments below 👇
