I spend probably 80% to 90% of my time in the Edit tab.

I usually just skip this tab and go straight to the Edit tab as you can cut clips there too. The Cut tab allows you to cut clips precisely, for example if you do a lot of frame by frame cuts, here’s the place to be. In the first tab, Media, you can import your media files such as video and audio, but I usually skip it and do that in the Edit tab. I will also go through the different tabs with you. Actually, when you import the videos into the editor, it will prompt you anyway if the resolution and frame rates are different and if you want to match in the project settings. I usually just match this with the video files I am working with. Create a ProjectĬreate a new project for the video you are editing, after that it will open up Davinci Resolve.īefore doing anything, go to “File”, “Project Settings”, and make sure you are happy with the timeline resolution and frame rate. I will give you an example of how I edit my video step by step from start to finish. It might take some playing around but you will quickly get used to it.

If you came from another video editor, the user interface of Davinci Resolve might feel unfamiliar.

Here’s the specs in case you are interested (Amazon affiliate links): Mind you, it’s a relatively new gaming rig that I built only about a year ago (mid 2021). My PC handles Davinci Resolve perfectly fine, no lag whatsoever even when editing 4K footage. Therefore it helps if the graphics card have higher VRAM (4GB or more would be ideal). Unlike Premiere Pro which relies more on CPU performance, Davinci Resolve relies more on GPU performance. If you are not sure if your computer can handle Davinci Resolve, just give it a go, it’s free anyway so you have nothing to lose. Minimum computer hardware requirements to run Davinci Resolve 17:
