DaVinci Resolve 18 free video editor review and demo, including tips for editing on lower-end hardware, including the use of the new Blackmagic Proxy Generator.
DaVinci Resolve can be downloaded from this page on the Blackmagic Design website: Note that to obtain the free version, you…

Indeed DaVinci Resolve is a very powerful tool. Thank you Mr. C.B.!
Can't wait for the Linux video about it!
Excellent video, as always.
Thank you for all the knowledge you're sharing with the viewers.
Going back to "project settings" is typically the kind of things I would forget to do ^^"
i had yo watch your videos in new pipe cuz youtube don't support more than 2x speed
Already have it.
Great video for those who want to edit video.
Food for algorithm 😉
I tried to install it, but unfortunately, it doesn't support my graphics card. I haven't tried on Windows, though.
Looking forward to the Linux version.
This is a really good software.
I use Blender as my video editor because it is more low level.
Best resolve video I’ve seen, struggled with it ever since I installed !
After using Premiere for years, I think I'm sold onto Resolve!
Is the learning curve significantly different compared to Premiere?
I'm not a video editor myself, but fascinating all the same. 👍🏻
Best free video editor indeed, I been using this for a while now, great on lower end hardware.
I was using Sony Movie Studio 13 for years but Sony sold off their "Creative software" division to MAGIX and I was not happy about it, they delisted their older software on Steam to promote new ones, a business decision I do not agree, so I switched to Davinci Resolve 17, in fact I'm just download 18 version right now.
I'm extremely happy that they let free users to use H265 because H264 was slow like years slow in rendering. H265 solved all of my problems. Size is still same but renders fast.
Wish you was my Brother Chris, your so thoughtful 🌻
Would love to learn to use DaVinci Resolve 18 as it run on all the OS's I would possibly use. Today I am using a M1 MacBook Air with 16GB shared memory with 2TB SSD storage.
Boring.
Totally beyond me in terms of both operation and system resources, but many thanks for giving us a look at this impressive software.
I have a very interesting question with the color tab the way how you were able to change colors is there a possibility that you could help me figure out how to do a color channel swap because I am using the Hoya r72 62 mm threaded filter on my camera not for videos but for actual photography and I need a way to revert or change in a way to where I can get color back in to where all of the leaves are still bleach white and I have all of my color like the blue skies and everything else
Magistral profesor
I keep wanting to try Resolve, but I just cannot get it to work. It complains about no GPU and when I try to tweak the settings, it either exits right away or just crashes. (This is on Debian Bullseye Linux using the free amdgpu driver.)
So unfortunately, I just can't use it. 🙁 I guess I will stick to kdenlive.
Looking forward to the Linux version. Thanks!
Please do the same for Gimp. Thanks.
Another brilliant ExplainingComputers video. Even the ExplainingComputers videos within the ExplainingComputers are always a delight
Sunday Morning Edited EC!
Great review and very valuable free tool for the nowadays ubiquitous task of video editing; a must-have for youtube creators with the added bonus that it runs on the 3 major operating systems!
Great video! Looking forward to the Resolve in Linux sequel. My PC is still on Win7, but gradually learning my way towards software that runs in Linux distros.
My pc is Ryzen 7 5700G with igpu 32gb of ram and b550 chipset samsung 980 1tb ssd and DaVinci Resolve working perfectly.
Impressive product, impressive video. Looking forward to your next video!
i have tried to download. it will not let me pick contey.
Impressive package, with lots of features to know. that's enough to confuse and intimidate a novice editor. You've probably learnt from a basic early version, and absorbed new skills as the package evolved..
Is/are there introductory tutorials available on the Web for aspiring Spielburgs to learn the concepts of editing with Resolve? If they don't want "Quack! The epic saga of a small town terorrised by rogue waterfowl." to be a stationary single POV that'll give them some ideas of what to do and how.
Great video as usual. One correction though, the paid Studio version does not have a time limited trial. You have to enter the key that you received when you purchased it to install and run it.
Thanks Chris! What an amazing mind reader you are! Downloaded Resolve 2 weeks ago for my humble i5 w/8GB RAM and this is exactly what I needed to know. Looks like a memory upgrade is in it's near future. Such is life in the slow lane.

👍👍👍👍👍Hmmm… there is a Linux version… wonder how tt work in Linux Mint.
Thank You Chris!
Waiting for the Linux version review.
Free as in free beer, but not free as in open source. I find Shotcut very good to use.
Thanks doc
What use kdenlive , shotcut , openshot?
Thanks, EC. that's helpful.
2 things 1.) when using FULL SCREEN WINDOW I can't get at my tool bar and thus can't go to the internet to watch Explaining Computers while bouncing back and forth between DR 18 and Explaining Computers video. 2.) Also after going to DR 18 Studio it takes much longer to Launch and get to the Project Manager Page.
I did do something different when I downloaded the DR 18 Studio Zip File. I placed the Download file on a 1 TB HDD and unzipped it there and let it install over DR 17.4 on the 1TB Samsung 980 SSD C: Drive.
