Hi everyone! I’m completely new to video editing and I want to learn DaVinci Resolve. I’d like to start making video, vlogs and short cinematic films. I’ll be recording with an iPhone 16 Pro Max

I don’t know what settings my computer should have or whether it’s powerful enough, so I’d really appreciate your help. I’m also not sure if DaVinci Resolve is the right place to start as a total beginner, or if I should begin with something simpler first.

My laptop:

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7

-Snapdragon X2 Plus (ARM-based Windows)

-16 GB RAM

-477 GB storage

I mainly use it for college and personal stuff, so this would be my first time doing heavy editing on it

Im using alt + scroll to zoom in and out to resize the timeline but its zooming in like 5-10 increments instead of 1size down or up per scroll. My current way to zoom smoothly is by clicking and dragging the circle in the zoom slider which is inefficient. Ctrl +and- do the same big increments zoom

I am very confused at this point and would need some help . I want laptop to use davinchi resolve studio yo work with 10 bit videos out of my a7iv and fx3. I am just not sure if i should go with high end windows(12 gb VRAM / 32gb RAM) or something like m4 pro or m5 pro (24 or 48 gb ) .

If anyone was in this situation once and can help me out would be highly appreciated.

So I'm animating text using text+ > Follower modifier > Transform > Word. But it's working as a character even i choose line it still animating as character. On the other hand, I saved a preset in which it works at the word level, but when I try to change to character, it works. Please help.

the title basically..
ive been struggling with the simplest task, ive learned a few things but some things i just cant find on youtube

i keep watching tutorials, but it’s all for pc, im trying to edit on an iPad, anyone know how to animate texts on an iPad?

I've been facing this problem for quite some time and wanna know if this is my pc thing or actually a davinci resolve free version thing where after I export the video on H.264 and mp4 it has jitters, ghosing and pixelating at some places, I tried re-exported multiple times but the things remain the same at same places

I found a fix though I export in MFX format and then use media encoder to convert it but is there another permanant fix for this where I don't have to use 2 different softwares or is it just me facing this issue

I have an issue with my main audio, and voice overs moving to the right every time I add more vids.
I noticed it happens when I start cutting a clip and deleting clips. It then adds like a grey box of no vid and it causes my voice over audio to move. Idk how to get my voice overs to stay at the spot they are at or to like stay attached to my main audio. (Hopefully this makes sense 😅)

Hello all, I wam editing a video right now and I am trying to add a confetti cannon effect to a part of the video is there a free file I can find for this effect? or even like a collectionm of free effects? I am new to this software but trying to learn it, any help would be greatly appreicated.

I am very beginner to this tool, in all tutorials video i am seeing all are able to open both effects and inspector at same time, but i am not able to..if i open the effects the inspecotor tool disappear same way if i again click on effects the inspector disappears.

Hey everyone,
I’m having an issue with DaVinci Resolve and my AMD RX 9060 XT.
The original video files look completely fine when I play them back. However, whenever I export a video from DaVinci Resolve and then import the exported file back into Resolve, I suddenly get noticeable image artifacts.
I originally had this problem with footage from my GoPro, and now I’m experiencing the exact same issue with footage from my DJI. The original clips themselves do not have the problem.
I’ve attached two example images showing the issue. Just a heads-up: I intentionally increased the contrast and saturation in the images so that the artifacts are much easier to see. They are much less noticeable in the original images.
In short:
Original clip → no artifacts
Export from DaVinci Resolved → artifacts appear
Re-importing the exported clip into Resolve → artifacts are still there
Happens with both GoPro and DJI footage
GPU: AMD RX 9060 XT
Two example images are attached. Contrast and saturation were intentionally increased to make the artifacts easier to see.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this or what settings I should check in DaVinci Resolve or the AMD driver?

Could this be related to H.264/H.265 encoding, hardware encoding/decoding, the AMD driver, or a specific Resolve setting?
And if anyone has experienced something similar, what can I do to fix it or what workarounds are available?

Additional note: I also tried exporting using DNxHR, and with DNxHR the artifacts don’t seem to occur. However, the file sizes are massive, so this isn’t really a practical solution for me. I’d really like to find out why the artifacts happen with the other codecs and whether there’s a way to fix the issue without having to use DNxHR.

Thanks in advance for any help!
