Re-watching this a year later because I am soooooo close to switching to Resolve right now
Sameeeee lol
Don’t ….trust me stay with FCP. I could write a full story as to why but I’ll make it as simple and to the point . DONT
@@safetyhomeloans950 I'm deciding on which one to get I would appreciate if you elaborated just a little bit, right now I'm trying to find as many videos as I can get with a comparison, you could give me your inside I'd appreciate it ⚡
Ditto
@stalman please don't, Tyler. FCPX is just so easy, and you know as well as anyone that it has more than enough features. I've been using Resolve and in my mileage it's even more buggy than Premiere....and I'm not doing big complex projects like some of you guys are. My hardware (M2 Pro MacBook Pro/Dell XPS NVIDIA GPU on Linux) is not the problem, either.
Having the editor, sound, fusion, color, etc all in one made it a no-brainer for me
That's awesome, glad to see you getting into DaVinci Resolve! It's such a great program, even though the learning curve is pretty steep. But if you stick with it, it gets pretty quick. Love Casey Faris's stuff I learned from him when I got started too. Now I've got my own DaVinci Resolve TH-cam channel. Keep up the awesome work man!
Dude. Dave’s wearing one of my hats. THANK YOU, DAVE! ❤️
I’m glad you caught it!
Thank you, MATT! Big ol Canadian fan over here.

Beautiful video! I'm curious about davinci too but my beautiful FCP plugins tho...
Yes!! I can’t leave because of my plugins. I’m trapped!!
In Davinci everything you neee plugins in FCP for, is already built in 🙈😃 true
@@THOMASTAYIMOEHL like what?
@@muafaa for instance tracking. tracking a mask or text.
@@THOMASTAYIMOEHL dude, what are you even editing?!
Great video dude!! Glad you (kinda) got to grips with it all in the end 🙂👍
*QUESTION LOL* how do u get a tutor like that, BTW I made the decision to give up on capcut and I was thinking the same thing u thought about fcp. Do u recommend resolve over fcp to some1 that only knows tablet editing?
Haha well in this case I’ve just known Dave for a very long time so I got lucky!
I ended up switching back to final cut just because I’m so much faster at it, but Dave is still using resolve and has edited a couple videos for this channel there. So we use both!
@@JesseDriftwood I pay attention to videos, I saw that, makes sense, I guess I'm gona have to learn resolve because I'm not a Mac guy, but when I do I'm gona be doing some sick stuff, it's kinda funny u talked about fcp limitations and how u know ways around it, I get that, I pushed capcut to far, anyways thanks for responding, u didnt have to, I do see now that u have a insane amount of subs. But that makes u 1 of a kind I guess brother
So Jesse. It's a year later... have you touched it at all or did you give up on it? I'm only asking because I watched this video a year ago and now with Davinci Resolve coming to the iPad, I'm wondering if it might be time to make the switch myself after 10+ years of using FCP. Updates to FCPX have been rather minimal and slow lately and I would have thought Apple would have ported it to iPadOS by now. Thoughts ?
I'm still in Final Cut, Dave is still in resolve.
I just can't give up how efficient I am in Final Cut currently.
Anyone else feel left out with all the vids about how hard switching to resolve is?! haha. I’m a 10+ year premiere user. But I recently switched to resolve because I was tired of a monthly fee for software that kept crashing on me. and man…as soon as I started, everything felt like it just made wayyy more sense. felt much faster and render speeds blew my mind. I still can’t get over how much resolve offers for FREE. i edit 100% resolve bc i just love it! and still haven’t needed to pay for the upgrade 🤯 maybe it just fits the way my brain is wired. idk.
btw I love your videos Jesse! You’re easily one of my top 3 TH-cam faves 👏🏽
Exactly!
It's not that the software is particularly difficult, but when you're used to editing SUPER quickly in final cut, the transition is rough.
@@JesseDriftwood The full version has extra tools that raise efficiency. I'm certain you'd find it at least on par.
Is resolve studio good enough for free lancing? And part time editing jobs?
Not like office jobs but getting customers on freelance websites and earning on my own?
@@adityadivine9750 Video editing is like barbering. You can get by with basic barbering tools from Amazon, but you can do a lot more with premium tools.
I watched this because I currently ind myself being slowed down by Premiere being a heap of steaming shit but I didn't expect that it would make me consider switching back to FCP lol
Lol! Anything but premiere at this point :)
#RAADALKURDI 👈👈👈😊♥️
#RAADALKURDI 👈👈👈😊♥️
So I need someone to help me understand this. Shouldn’t switching from FCP be fairly intuitive since DR has a “cut” page that offers a magnetic timeline similar to FCP?
The cut page is still *extremely* different than editing in final cut.
@@JesseDriftwood what’s the biggest difference, if you had to sum up?
@@papermelon The cut page in resolve allows you to build individual sequences pretty quickly, and rearrange the shots, but for detailed editing you have to switch pages.
In final cut the magnetic timeline speeds up everything. This means I can do J and L cuts with my audio nearly instantly, or rearrange huge sections of my video really quickly. Its surprisingly often that I'll take an entire sequence from later in my video and decide it would make more sense earlier on, so I can just grab that whole thing and slot it into my video anywhere I want without disrupting anything.
@@JesseDriftwood gotcha, makes sense. Thank you for the help!
I love to see healthy competition of apps. 💪
Absolutely! This is what I constantly feel about DAWs in music production. It's just really refreshing to see lots of options and competition and variety. Everyone benefits. We know this to be true.
I was going to mention Casey Faris! He's the man for Resolve tutorials. Billy Rybka is also worth following. The color correction is awesome in Resolve. Also, while intimidating at first, gotta love what you can do with Fusion. I respect being comfortable with what you know, but if you are starting out, go straight to Davinci! Does everything and cross platform (Mac, Windows, Linux).
Also the people over at black magic provides tutorials for resolve on their website.
intro on this video was beautiful dude!
I love this mix of professionalism being mixed with bits of silliness like at 5:40
I've been asking myself this question for quite some time. Thank you for answering it!
I was premiere user. I was very attached to it because of its ease of use. But now after few months after switching, after lots of frustration and learning, I don't see any other video editor as good as Davinci.
Was a Premiere editor since 6.5 2000. And Final Cut Pro 7/X...switched 2 years ago to Resolve; Never looked back. Now I am proficient in it and Love it over any other NLE..Seems the "Old Dog learning new tricks syndrome"... I still use After Effects over built in Fusion for the same reason: "Used to it".
Thanks for sharing your insights, Jesse! Would you be able to share your friend's filing system for projects? Keep up the good work!
THAT INTRO JESSE!! So so good.
Thanks!!
Got a lot of love for Casey's videos. Great stuff
The reveal on the Storyblocks section was so good!
Agreed with this video 100%. I came from Premiere to Resolve and now Final Cut. I use Final Cut for fast turnaround projects and Resolve for anything that needs more "detail", like more in depth color grading or sound design. At this point, 80% of my edits are being doing in Final Cut and 20% in Resolve. Once you see the speed of Final Cut for fast turnaround edits it's hard to use anything else. As a side note, I also have switched over most of my only motion graphics based projects to Apple Motion 5 from Fusion. It's just faster and easier to use. Sometimes you need simple, sometimes you need complicated.
-Jason
Why not premiere pro and after effects??
Same.
Do divaconi resolve k used 18 the free one and I cant do transaction i think is more hard maybe because is free maybe if I use the studio it will more easy to use transaction...
😀😀😀😀
@@GurmeetSingh-fr8uo too slow for pumping out Content fast. Can’t be apple for speed
Your videos are such a treat.
Did you ever figure out a way to match position and zoom keyframe ease with how you use them in Final Cut?
MAN! Insane intro! Superb edit skills you got!! I've been doing my vlogs on vegas pro... mainly because was the software I learned a few years back. but it crashes soo much that the workflow is slow... I'm been trying out fcpx on the new m1pro mac and dammm it's soo smooth! but still not sure I will adopt it as my future video editor or if I should give it a try to Davinci or Premiere... So many ways to make a cake and yet still to find out the perfect oven!
This is the video I've been waiting for to make my move.... Davinci here I go!!!
*Bro! I watched the intro slide or shot like five times! That was buttery smooth* . 🤙🏼
Great eye-opener for me! Thank you!
Just curious ... was this video edited in FCPX or with Resolve?
Keep up the great work! Have a better day!
Davinci Resolve fan here. Such a complete product, and the price is right :)
Went from FCPX to Resolve and liked it. Then went back to FCPX because the magnetic timeline is just such a timesaver, still doing colour in Resolve. But what I really wanted to say: this video is dope production wise. So much to learn from it. thanks for that.
Have you ever edited in FCPX and XML to Resolve to color?
What about Vegas and powerdirector365 ?
Awesome video Jesse! Went back to watch this one thinking about editing in Da Vinci Resolve
Resolve pays my bills, premiere was a bill. Great video!
yes, join the Davinci Resolve gang!
I've been using it for 8 months after forcing myself to use it for 30 days and it's honestly such a powerful tool!
I just wish I could move windows around like I can in Premiere or Avid.
Sticking with FCP here, I edit mostly educational videos with on screen text, and the ease of doing those just can't be beat at this time.
I was just thinking this yesterday! I thought my color grades were trash in fcpx and thought switching to resolve would force me to get better at color grading. Did you find that true when you worked in resolve?
Definitely not true for me yet, but thats because I had Dave helping me with the grade for this video. I wish I could pass off all the grading on every video honestly!
Very interesting video, thanks for doing it. I have been toying with the idea of trying out Resolve for some time now but kept thinking what would I gain over FCP. I have already been through one transition from Premiere to FCP about 5 years ago which was a big change as I had been using Premiere for nearly 10 years previously and the change to FCP was agonizing due to as you say learnt habits and learning a whole new language of operation. But in the end it was worth it as I can now edit so much faster and efficiently than I ever could in Premiere. And I have found even long projects one as long as 2.5 hours ( a documentary) was no strain for FCP. I think I will stay with FCP. Thanks for a great video.
Hi, I'm very late for this comment, but I'm hoping you'll still find my reply. 😅 Have you stuck with FCP? I've been editing in FCP, albeit inconsistently, for about 6 or 7 years now. Right now, I'm once again at a point where I haven't really edited a video in half a year, and my friend has been trying to convince me to move to Resolve, but every time I try Resolve, it just completely confuses me because it's SO different from FCP. I'm just curious to hear your opinion on this. Maybe the right tutorial (i.e. the right approach to teaching Resolve) will win me over, but at the moment I'm leaning towards staying with FCP because it's what I know and what works for me. 🤔
Just found this video and holy crap u r good at making videos. Subscribed immediately
Like all software there's a learning curve.
If you have used something for years it becomes second nature and we are all resistant to change.
Final cut is basic when compared to Davinci Resolve , but that's just it.
Creativity is not limited in Resolve the constant upgrades and new features is what makes it great and seemingly more complex when first encountered.
Remember it's free with upgrades forever or you buy the amazing studio version it's a one off buy and upgrades forever.
At the moment I did the latest deal where you get the speed editor panel for free with studio (the speed editor panel is pro kit that speeds up the editing workflow) it alone normally costs the same price as the software.
When it comes to cars if you were offered the fully loaded option for the price of the basic would you turn it down because you haven't used heated seats, cruise control, climate zone control etc.
I think this is a similar case both will get you from A to B but it's a different ride.
Casey Farris the bomb and my original introduction to Resolve. Another great channel is Creative Video Tips. He's an amazing Davinci teacher. Certainly the two best instructors I've come across. Also I'll never buy a Mac so FCP is a non-starter for me.
I'm simply just impressed with your quality and skill level. The real deal! This TH-cam video is better than some documentaries on Netflix. Keep it up.
Thanks dude!
I have never used anything but resolve. I love it, and every day i learn lots of new tricks. and yes Casey Faris is a great channel to learn about the fusion tab.
That is THE coolest sponsorship segment I’ve ever seen
Agreed. The framing and location was 🤌🏽
Thanks!!
Good stuff....and I still don't know if I'm going to make the switch 😂.
Your work is very good, I think just how good many creatives are gets overlooked and taken for granted given how much content is out there and the level of production quality that has evolved with both the accessibility to fantastic tools and the skill and ability that developes over time as talented people practice and develope their craft.
Oh thank you! I really appreciate that :)
@@JesseDriftwood you have a refreshingly honest perspective that requires a measure of risk to put out there, due to the inherent vulnerability you expose, that I will guarantee you, is far more appreciated by your audience than many might be comfortable admitting or identifying. I am genuinely excited and happy to see you doing well, and will say my interest in your resolve journey is peeked, I will admit, while I am a deep diver into Photoshop for developing still images my early video edits were made with windows movie maker. I really really love the work that so many of you guys do with video and look forward to where your carear takes you. Thank you for sharing!
Nice video. If you like the magnetic timeline try the cut page in Resolve - It's very similar but adds features that many FCPX users crave in the magnetic timeline (link any clip to any other clip etc.).
Wow. The sound design 🙏🙏. Where do you get your sfx from?
Hey Jessie, just found your channel from Peter Mckinnon and this video about Davinci Resolve!! I have been "stuck" in imovie, or maybe it's more of a comfort with the ease of use...but I have been trying to make the switch to Davinci Resolve, wanting to add more to my videos but I get frustrated with the learning curve! Why do I keep losing my files? lol!! The red screen thing, lol! I hope to figure it out some day just need to make the commitment to learn it! And yes Casey Faris is a huge help with his TH-cam channel! Love your work from what I have watched so far, Thanks!
Wow... Only 24 seconds in and I am compelled to comment. What an intro! Jesse you rock!
Very helpful video as I’m just getting started! I think I’ll stick with FCP since you answered my question : what’s best for a solo video producer who just wants to crank out a decent video for
TH-cam. Thanks!
I switched to Resolve at version 16. Best decision I've ever made as an editor.
I did about the same thing, FCPX for the last 10 years and the last 2 years Davinci bc I was tired of going from FCPX to Davinci for better color grading control. Then just went with Davinci, but miss many plug ins from FCPX. Davinci is now a fully editing beast less the plugins..
I’ve been super curious about why you did this switch since seeing your comments on Twitter. Cool seeing your thoughts behind it.
I’m going to do at least another full TH-cam videos in resolve to see how I like it, but for quick edits I’ll still reach for final cut.
Resolve is fantastic but I’ve never used anything else. It’s hard to learn at first but well worth it. Yes Casey is very knowledgeable and easy to follow. I’d also recommend Jamie Fenn and Mr. Alec Tech.
Man oh man. I’m a premiere Pro user and have been on the fence about jumping on FCPX or Resolve for a while now… I think you have me convinced to try out FCP already
Premiere Pro user here 🙋♂️. I changed to FCPX for budget reasons a couple of months ago and I still hate it. If you come from other Adobe Apps, Premiere is just more intuitive. In FCPX nothing is where I expect it to be, and the magnetic timeline never moves where I want it to move, so I end up wasting more time. Also, there are more free resources and plugins for Premiere Pro than for FCPX. If you want to edit a bunch of small videos I think Premiere Pro is the fastest way, because in FCPX you have to be VERY careful with your settings or it will literally eat all of your hard drive with cache and optimized media. That being said, in an M1 Mac Mini, FCPX is crazy fast; so I think it's better for longer videos where you can take your time to set everything once and then work on your edit. For a little context, I learned to edit like 10 years ago in FCP, but by now I've editing for longer in Premiere Pro. Hope this helps.
I’ve just started editing in FCPX. Coming from Premier Pro. I think I’ll end up using both; FCPX for solo edits and quick work and Premiere Pro for collabs or work that needs more layers. I’d have to disagree with Foto Pirate on just about every point he made. Final cut is WAY more intuitive and the magnetic timeline is easy to get used to (also it can be turned off). Yes you should take the time to set it up right so that it doesn’t make copies of your work. In my experience Premiere is so fkn laggy most of the time. And the workspaces are unnecessarily complicated. I love how the workspace in FCPX is dynamic and changes depending on what you select. Also: one time payment for a perpetual license!
I switched from Premiere to Resolve when I bought a Blackmagic camera and the full version was included. I tried it out of curiosity thinking I'd never fully give up Premiere. It almost immediately took over as my number one. Love everything about it.
Go the other way brother. Resolve is more capable software. Also it's pro software and is free.
@@FotoPirata Respectfully totally disagree, you've stepped into FCPX hoping or thinking it's PP - it's not, it's different, but if you take time to as Jesse says in the video "surrender" into the software you're using then it starts to become intuitive and makes scenes. I use FCPX mostly and my team use PP and Resolve, they are all unique and must be treated as individual systems - not labelling them as one, but "one is better than the other" - they all do different things. FCPX is by far the fastest with a competent user on each... we have tested it rigorously and the rules are always the same. FCPX fastest, PP best for a hybrid with AE and Resolve is just the number one beast for complex films and colour grading endless information and outputs
Many thanks for the video. I used to use fcpx then went to LumaFusion for the last year, but now I want more so I’m going back to fcpx but was thinking of davinci. Not any more. Thanks
Ive started learning on adobe pr and ps now on to Ae. I cant see me switching. But im only 7 months in on youtube now. But i get inspired by all techniques.. big ups.. love ya vlogs... ✊🏾
That was very helpful: thanks! With warm wishes from Cape Town.
" that confort is too valuble to give up " man he sumed so much about life with these words
Same here. FCPX for 10 years. Now LOVE resolve - it's the one stop shop for advanced edits. Still use FCPX for quickies
Smoooth introoo 😍😍👌🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
You showed a lot of resolve in learning this new software
What is the finger pad you are using to edit with? Would it work with photoshop aswell?
I personally love resolve for what it is and it's so much simpler to me than Adobe premiere pro it's just way more easy to use in my opinion
HA !!!! I'm only 2:45 seconds in and I thought the same thing. I keep a tab open with nothing but Casey's channel up for reference! I'm coming from Premiere Pro and it was the 1001st time it crashed that I decided to try and switch. That was a 2 weeks ago and I feel like I'm trying to drink from a fire hose on full blast. I can see vague visions of how smooth it's going to be when I finally know it, specifically for Fusion. But for now.... let's just say, I'm not losing my hair, I'm just pulling it out. Keep up the great work!
That was a great video Jesse now I wanna see what the hypes about! Especially considering it’s free 😀
When I used FCPX it was like I already knew how to use the program naturally but than I had to switch to Windows where it was difficult to edit videos coming from FCPX in which I found Filmora that was a bit similar and easier to use but wasn't advanced or outputs clear quality or smooth 60fps so now I am planning to use MacBook solely for FCPX and other work on Windows.
hi. Which program is better for sound design in video editing process?
That Gimbal drop dropped my heart.
color grading on resolve is just another realm.. so much control over each of the hues..
Tried the free version of resolve but it doesn’t work with v-log so it’s paid vs paid.
It doesn’t work with v-log? What doesn’t work exactly?
@@JesseDriftwood It won’t load the files. Only the paid version accepts it unless recent updates have changed that.
@@CallMeChato My guess is that it has nothing to do with v-log. Maybe there is a limitation with footage being 10bit though.
@@JesseDriftwood Ah you might be right. If one is going to shoot in log who would not use 10bit 422? If I recall now it was the 10bit issue. You are a well informed person. On a side note I’ve edited on Ampex 2” tape, Sony 9000, Edit-Droid, Avid, Premiere and you’ll have to take FCP out of my cold dead fingers.
@@CallMeChato I ended up switching back to final cut also, I’m just so much more comfortable editing in it.
As for 8bit log well you’re right it’s not ideal! But it mostly depends on which log profile you use and how much grading you plan on doing.
awesome love this I will try it on my channel tutorial video.
Hey Jesse, love the slider shots. Wich slider do you use?
I actually bought that Slypod Pro off of kickstarter and it finally showed up. The app is horrible but its a pretty neat little tool!
I like that he picks up the gimbal at the end of the video :D
Could you drop the link of video tutorials from where you learnt?
I’ve been a Panasonic user since the DVX100A and I have recently seriously considered the switch to a Blackmagic camera and in the process, I’ve been considering a switch to Davinci Resolve. There’s a few reasons.
One, as you stated here, it’s a new program to try and learn which is a good idea considering it’s more of an industry standard than FCPX.
Another reason is the $399 studio version comes free with a Blackmagic camera purchase. So why wouldn’t I want to try and learn such incredible software when it’s given to me for free and has so far giving free major updates as well?
Even more so if you view the price of the camera as including the software cost (ex: if a Blackmagic camera sells for $1399, the retail value is actually $1000, but it is marked up $399 to include the cost of the software) then that is even more reason to at least learn the program since you did in fact pay for it.
And my third reason is based purely on speculation. I am hoping that as time progresses there will be more and more optimized workflows when using both Blackmagic cameras and editing software. Just as Resolve already supports BRAW natively while FCPX requires the Color Finale plug-in to convert BRAW to ProRes, perhaps there will be continued optimization. Similar to Apple software and hardware working together.
With all of that being said, the way I edit is based primarily on the FCPX way of thinking and I am much more comfortable and versed in that. So even if I do learn Resolve well enough to do similar work to that of my work in FCPX, I will probably continue to use FCPX for at least a little bit longer because of the familiarity and speed at which I can work.
Though… finally having the ability to shoot RAW and LOG certainly highlights the far-reaching benefits of the color grading options in Resolve, which totally crush FCPX and any color plug-ins. And if I find myself only being able to use the Kohan correction in Resolve, that may be the final straw to switch me over completely.
Why colors so cool and soft here? Because of 10bit or because of pro grading? Maybe both of them
This is top. Will you reveal how you did the timelapse photos with moving camera? :)
Look it up, there's hundreds tutorial vids. Moving timelapse is called "hyperlapse"
What was that fidget thing you were playing with?
Those mannequins in the background are making me uncomfortable. I tried to love Resolve 17 but FCPX has been embedded into my workflow habits. Or maybe I'm just getting old and can't keep up with changes in tech anymore?
Totally the same as me! I switch from FCPX to Resolve, I thought I can handle it right away and oh my god😂…… is so much harder and I have to apply all these online course to learn it.
And the speed editor, I have to apply a course to learn it as well🤣!
Is there a way to strech transitions like in premiere where we can press shift and strech it from one side…
i haven’t done much research into davinci, what about is better then fcp that makes one switch (i’m using fcp for my stuff and i don’t plan on switching soon but i would like hear reasons why)
I use both and I have to say that speed ramping in fcpx is on another level. This being the case I have to agree with you, quick edits are way better in fcpx especially if your ramp heavy. Of course if I’m being paid for a more “pro” project I’ll switch. Although I will say I still sometimes speed ramp in fcp and bring it over to d17
Yeah the speed ramp is just hard to use on resolve😑
Your intro is legendary.
Thinking about switching to Final Cut. Resolve has a way of making the simple edits hard.. how quick can one pick up on Final Cut?
I switched to Davinci Resolve in 2019... and never touched any editing software ever since... and yeah I've learned a lot from Casey Faris too...lol
Your infinity cube at 6:27 really caught my eye and I odered one as a gift. Some product placement :)))
Haha I love mine so much!
Very good!
Casey does make the best tutorials
Seeing a lot of comments from folks already using all the big 3, so not sure anyone who just wants to hit publish on a video of their sewing, is watching. If they are and not that keen on iMovie or windows movie maker (ha) then lightworks seems to be a good middle ground with the ease of use of the smaller players but grading and effects of the bigger options. Haven't yet seen a reason to move from it to resolve. Always learning from analysing your edits though! Great job pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.
I feel your pain - I am trying to make the switch too 😥 from FCPX to DaVinci Resolve Studio with the speed editor - Creative Video Tips also has great Resolve videos, but I like Casey too 😀
Bro... I feel you. I have wanted to try resolve for that same reason, but I am a slow video creator at my day job a university creating content and then for freelance. I've been cutting in final cut for 8 years and I've just gotten so efficient in it. I would love to hear about the speed editor thing. Did you like it?
I still need a lot of practice with the speed editor and specifically the cut page to really form an opinion.
@@JesseDriftwood Please make an update video. I'm wanting to try to switch to Resolve to be able to collaborate better with other people but man... I'm exactly like you.. SO efficient in FCPX.. Also I just came to realise that there is NO FILMSTRIP view in Resolve.... 😖 ... That, and the possibility to place multiple In and Out selection on a single clip is so amazing to browse footage and derush. in FCPX.
first off, great conclusion, 2nd of all my Zhiyun Crane 3s keeps falling over too and 3rdly, I reeeallly want to love my Resolve that came with my BM but I keep going back to Premiere Pro because I have used it for so long and if there is a quick edit to do i'll choose PP :-(
Been slowly transitioning to DaVinci for collaborative work, but those small habits in using FCPx make it harder when you have to think where the tools are as opposed to just cutting and colouring. I feel your frustration...also that chair looks more comfortable than mine!
I’m obsessed with this chair!
I'm in the exact situation you're in. Very quick in FCPX, but I bought a BMPCC 6kPro so it came with the premium version of Davinci and so I tried to make the switch with the help of Casey as well as Alex Jordan of FilmSimplified and my flow is WAY slower right now and the frustration level is grueling. I'm having to constantly look up things in the middle of edits, but I think in about a month or so if I stick with Davinci, I'll be better off in the long run. Just doesn't feel like it yet. Thanks for the video - it's nice to see that others are dealing with the same challenges.
I ended up switching back a few videos later haha. I'm still kind of using both for projects but I can't give up just how much faster I am in final cut.
@@JesseDriftwood Do you ever XML the fcpx edit to Resolve to color and then send back?
@@spiderstudios5599 I have the same question
How does it feel one month after you posted this comment? I just started the journey and man, it's hard.. and now I've seen that even @jesseDriftwood has switched back !
@@Superjeanmarc I feel your pain... My editing projects slowed down over the past month due to some home remodeling we had to get done. Before the break, I did 3 short commercials with Davinci and am getting faster, but most of those were basic cuts and didn't have any intensive transitions, etc. but super helpful once I do look up how to do things in there. I am realizing that it's going to take working in it for a few more months to get quicker. I do like a lot of the time saving tools they have that are a lot more intuitive over FCPX but the learning curve is steep!
The latest update for fcpx took away audio when the play head is paused while arrowing over a frame - I hear nothing. I don’t know if this was considered a flaw to hear the sound as you arrowed over, but I used this to edit music to the beat. Now it’s gone and it’s more difficult to edit to the beat. Is there any way to reverse that part of the update or get that aspect back somehow?
Do you mean the audio doesn’t play while you hover over clips? If so that’s just a setting you can toggle on and off at any point! It’s called audio skimming, I think the hot key is shift S? But either way there’s also a button beneath the inspector panel on the far right above the timeline.
@@JesseDriftwood what I mean is when my video project is paused, if I arrow to the right to get to the next frame I don’t hear any sound. Before the update I heard sound when I arrowed over and used this to cut my clips to the base or snares
@@JesseDriftwood I’ll try shift S though
@@JesseDriftwood The "Shift +S" worked! thank you so much
intro💥💫
Agreed. I can teach an intern how to use FCPX in a day and they are off and running. Of course, not expert but good enough to get a draft done. BTW, you can edit in FCPX, export XML, and then bring that into Resolve for finishing and coloring if you want.
Yup! The only issue with that workflow is that I’ve had some issues with that process when the timeline starts getting more complicated with compound clips and adjustment layers. Maybe it’s better now though!
@@JesseDriftwood It's not better... The XML workflow is a total mess, really... Unusable professionally
Did you try the cut page in Resolve? It’s supposed to resemble the magnetic timeline right?
Yes I did! It has some similarities to final cut but it’s still very different. The cut page works pretty well to build a rough assembly edit, but part of what I love in final cut is just how quickly I can fine tune an edit. Things like J and L cuts or even rearranging the entire order of sequences is super fast in final cut, where you can’t really do that in the cut page, and is much slower in the edit page.
@@JesseDriftwood Ah good to know! Rearranging clips in a mostly finished timeline is one of the more annoying procedures in Resolve.
