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 👇

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 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 👋

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.

I want to share a bit of the heart behind the Quick Tip Tutorials section and where I hope it grows. I am not the ultimate DaVinci Resolve expert. I do not know everything, and I am still learning constantly. There are a lot of great editors and teachers out there who explain things in ways that just click. The Quick Tip Tutorials space is meant to be more than just my content. It is a place to collect genuinely helpful Resolve tips, whether they come from me or from other creators. Timeline basics, color, audio, Fusion, workflow, creative judgment, all of it. If you come across a short tutorial or video that helped you understand something specific in Resolve, I want this to be a place where you can share it. Here is how I see it working. You post the video with the Quick Tip & Tools category and add a short note about what it helped you with. Those posts stay in the community and are valuable on their own. From there, I will review them and curate what makes sense to organize into the Classroom so it stays clean, focused, and actually useful long term. Over time, this lets us build a shared library of practical Resolve knowledge without it turning into noise. I also want to be really clear about how this fits with the 60 day Resolve program I am building. That program is still a very intentional, step by step path. One day builds on the next, starting from the basics and leading all the way to confidently editing a professional looking video on your own. It is designed to hold your hand through the process, not overwhelm you. The Quick Tip Tutorials do not replace that, and they do not interfere with it. Think of them as optional side roads you can explore when you want to go deeper on a specific thing or hear a different perspective.
