Thanks for the excellent video (again) Jay. I'm still enjoying the new stuff, keep it up! Perhaps something about leveraging redundant storage options (NAS/Network Storage/Cloud?) for storing/archiving your old footage? You've highlighted the need to transfer footage you no longer use onto your 4TB drive but what if that were to mechanically fail? What backup options might a video editor have/put in place to manage this?
May I suggest one more bit of kit? The chair. My chair has eliminated my lower back pain and my hip pain. I have also had this chair for about 3 years. I also get to work out my lower back and abb muscles without noticing. And the best part, it only cost about £20. What is this magical chair? A 65cm Gym Ball from Amazon. It takes a while to get used to sitting one them. If you don't believe me watch some TH-cams with physiotherapists raving about them. I can, and do, sit on mine for up to and over 10 hours at a time while messing about on my computer. The best part is that the chair tells you when you get too tired. 🤣
Lighting is something that young people don’t really appreciate when editing. Specially in color correction process. Love your headphones! Great video¡
I would recommend to get a logitech mouse because you can customize the mouse buttons to any can you like and then bind that key in davinci resolve for example you bind your mouse button to " P "and the you bind P to your davinci resolve function
I think the mouse Jay showed is similar to one I've had since last summer. I use it across two desktop PCs, along with a single keyboard bought as a set, (Logitech MK850). Having two mouse/keyboard setups is a table space hog and gets annoying. The two monitors are side by side and I either keep them independent to each PC or pair them "dual display" when desired for editing. It's not a luxury like I thought I was doing, beginning 15 years ago. It's a really efficient way to spread out the screen dialogs, timelines and previews to your personal liking. You'll save time and keep your head from exploding. Even if they don't match - then display the previews on the more colour accurate model. Keep the old monitor for timelines, tools and other things you do on a PC. I'm liking Jay's to the point features; hard to believe he's only been at this for a couple of years.
Thank you so much! Yeah it's very similar to the 850, but I think it's an earlier model. Since I only have one computer, I just map the buttons for other functions.
great tips! I really want a second monitor, that would change the game! Also, I'm such a video hoarder!!! 65 bucks for headphones? sounds like a great deal!
Yeah they have a newer version that's somewhere around $100, but these work just fine for me! Definitely need a headphone amp or DAC with them though. That is Lila!
Resolve is a pain to map stuff but it does work, you just have to assign the keys to your mouse if they have software, Corsair iCue makes doing it very simple
I just started with Resolve and recently found your channel. I personally have 2 BenQ 27in monitors that I use for photo editing. They are identical and have a 99% Adobe RGB coverage, which is really nice for photos. The monitors have a button you can press and it will switch into sRGB mode. These monitors are really good, especially considering they are usually under $1000. I also use a Logitech gaming mouse - an old G600. It has 12 programmable buttons on the side, and a modifier button on the top. The Logitech software lets me load profiles onto the mouse. I could have button-1 act as pressing the O key, but when holding the modifier button, it sends a CTRL-O. Great for Photoshop keyboard shortcuts.
Haha, Im a mac user, but don’t think i’ve ever owned that 1 button mac mouse. Can’t imagine trying to even use it for Davinci. That little monitor light is awesome. Great video, cheers!
Best thing you can do is compare your system specs with the system requirements of the software, and go from there. There are also a couple of online options, but they will be severely limited.
@@JayLippman Thanks for the reply. I have AMD quad core A-10 6700 APU , 12 GB RAM, SSD Drive, , NVDIA GTX 1650 Graphics card 4GB. Perhaps not the best specs, but I thought would sufficient. But, can't run any video editing software without frequent crashes or freezes?
Eh, it depends. If you want to get into professional-level editing, they are for sure must-haves. If you're just looking to make decent looking and sounding videos for the internet, they would be luxuries.
I would honestly go with a custom build. You can build it yourself, but I always recommend going with Puget Systems. They take the time to learn about your workflow and exactly what it is you need your PC to do, and they build a system that's completely tailored to your needs. Plus, you get free lifetime support in case anything goes wrong.
Great tips, Jay! Keep up the good work. I have been using a Logitech roller ball mouse that is manipulated with your thumb rather than moving the mouse. It has programmable buttons but i don't find them useful. Its a great mouse for accuracy.
I got nothing. Sorry! I do hear the M1 Macbooks are pretty killer though. I'm thinking of picking one up, since I currently don't own a laptop and need something for when I'm traveling.
Gotta love it when intermediate editors give bad advice. NEVER edit off your internal HD/SSD or whatever drive your OS/editing software runs off of. I have no intention of being hateful, but please don't tell people to do the wrong info without either doing more research or telling the audience that it's your opinion.
QUESTION OF THE DAY: What gear do you think should be on this list?
ALSO: There were a lot of mistakes in this video. Namely, the names of some of the products. The corrected names are listed in the description.
Jay Lippman comfortable chair!
The classic studio standard headphones - Sony MDR-7506. I've had mine for over 15 years, still work just fine...
no experience necessary

Thank you so much!
your eye colour is just😍
Today is my first day with Davinci and your videos are extraordinarily helpful
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching!
Excellent video. Well spoken. I'm going to check out the headphone's you recommended . And I subbed

That light bar looks like a worthy grab. Got quite a few externals kicking around...lol
Lol I'm gonna have to invest in another one soon.
am so new just really getting started, trying to learn on my own In Davinci Resolve 16 love your videos
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching!
Resolve is a pain to map stuff but it does work, you just have to assign the keys to your mouse if they have software, Corsair iCue makes doing it very simple
I'll have to check that out!
Can you please amke a vdeo on how to do professional level videography with a smartphone and budget friendly gears
I pretty much stick to the editing side of things, but I do have a video about smartphone video on my channel! You should check it out!
Nice one Jay, some good tips here! Salutations from cloudy and eerily quiet Ireland! ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️
Thank you Sonny!!
I map my logitech mouse buttons through Logic options software. Works great.
I'll have to try that!! Thanks!

Seagate looks totally impressive for hard drive, very useful! :)
It really is!
I would like to find an editing software program where I do not need to buy a new computer to operate it?

Must-Have more like Luxuries-to-have.
Except for the hard drive advice.
Eh, it depends. If you want to get into professional-level editing, they are for sure must-haves. If you're just looking to make decent looking and sounding videos for the internet, they would be luxuries.
@@JayLippman right. Love your tutorials btw.
Hey so I’m just getting started. I’m switching from a laptop to a desk top. Which one should I get?

I've seen those. Always wanted to try them out!
Anyone suggest a good value laptop for video editing?
I got nothing. Sorry! I do hear the M1 Macbooks are pretty killer though. I'm thinking of picking one up, since I currently don't own a laptop and need something for when I'm traveling.
I hv a normal internal hard drive and a Seagate 1TB slim hard drive...which should be the better & faster diring editing on my pc ?
Internal should be faster than an external drive for sure.
Gotta love it when intermediate editors give bad advice. NEVER edit off your internal HD/SSD or whatever drive your OS/editing software runs off of. I have no intention of being hateful, but please don't tell people to do the wrong info without either doing more research or telling the audience that it's your opinion.
No no I don't do that. I have a clean internal SSD, separate from my OS drive. Only thing that lives there are my editing files.
@@JayLippman had me worried for a sec😂
I paid $140 for my Yamaha headphones. Back in 1985. So $65 nowadays doesn’t seem like much!
And they're worth every penny!
Wow first? Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
Let's unite hoarders of the world! 😂
😂 Yes Mac is weird. I use Mac and took me a while to get hang of it
😂😂😂Thanks for watching!!
Mac IS wierd! >:D
