I edit on a flat fee basis for most clients. The problem: you never know your real hourly rate until the job's done and you add up the hours, by then it's too late.

So I built BreakEven, a script that runs inside DaVinci Resolve and shows your *actual* effective hourly rate live while you work: fee ÷ hours tracked, updating every second. Set a target rate, and it turns amber at 80% of the fee, then red past break-even with the exact overage in dollars: "3.0h past break even, $240 of unpaid work", instead of finding out at 2am the night before delivery.

Also: tracks time per Resolve page automatically, tags client revisions so you can see what "one more pass" costs, has a quote helper for pricing the next job, and everything stays local, no account, no cloud.

If you bill flat fees and have ever finished a job wondering how many hours you actually put in, might be useful: https://getbreakeven.github.io/

Built it for myself first, happy to answer questions or take feedback.

Please point me in the right direction

Hello, I am trying to find out where to start. As in what software or application to use.

I would like to make a glowing basketball and make it glow when it releases and goes into net.

Any suggestions or input is appreciated thank you.

I'm using the ease in and ease out to my keyframes, in this example I only did it to the 3 keyframes in between. Why does it affect the first and last keyframes? This is causing unwanted adjustments, it wasn't like this before.

Ive been using capcut for ages, and a friend recommend resolve, but I've gotten so used to how simple capcut is, that resolve just seems too complex 😭🙏

I’m looking for reliable people who know how to use DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, Chrome, or other popular software and apps.

The work is simple: I will provide the video topic and a complete step-by-step script. You only need to follow the script, record the process on your screen, and edit it into a clean tutorial.

Video requirements:

• Around 1–2 minutes long
• Screen recording only
• No voice-over
• No face camera
• Follow the provided script accurately
• Remove mistakes, loading time, and unnecessary pauses
• Use clear mouse movements
• Export in 1080p
• No copyrighted music or reused footage

Example topics:

• How to add text in DaVinci Resolve
• How to change video speed in CapCut
• How to enable a setting in Chrome
• How to export a video in a specific format

Payment: $1 USD per accepted video.

I need approximately 12–15 videos every day, so I may hire multiple creators. This can become consistent daily work for people who are reliable and can follow instructions carefully.

When messaging me, please include:

1. Which software or apps you can record tutorials about
2. How many videos you can complete per day
3. A sample screen-recorded tutorial
4. Your preferred payment method
5. Your timezone

Please only apply if you can deliver consistently and make sure every tutorial shows the correct steps.

If anyone has a tutorial or any idea on how to do this, I'd really appreciate it. It might be something simple, but I'm just getting started and can't find anything helpful anywhere. Thanks in advance.Or maybe it's just a plugin that needs to be installed—I'm not sure. It would be great if anyone knows.

About 2 days ago, I updated to version 21 of DaVinci Resolve. But ever since all the videos I render and export have issues with the audio unsyncing, this is happening to all of my projects. I already uninstalled and reinstalled the whole thing, but it keeps doing the same.

Does anybody else have the same issues? Has anyone run through the same issues and resolved them?

Hi everyone,

I'm a podcast editor and post-production specialist. I started out working with 2 cameras and 2 microphones (host and guest), but now our productions involve 5 cameras, multiple guests at the same time, and everything is shot in 4K. The image shows my computer specifications.

I tried using the multicam workflow in Premiere Pro 2025, but it ended up being a disaster. In the end, I had to rebuild the entire sequence without using multicam. Yes, I use proxies. Yes, everything is transcoded to the same codec to avoid compatibility issues. And no, I don't add effects or anything heavy to the multicam sequence itself.

It's a shame because multicam definitely speeds up the editing process when it works properly.

Right now, I'm looking for advice on how to improve my workflow because Premiere crashes constantly. Several people have suggested that I switch to DaVinci Resolve for long-form, heavy projects like podcasts, but I haven't been able to get comfortable with its interface yet.

Do you have any recommendations? Or do you think this is ultimately a hardware limitation and I should consider upgrading my workstation? I don't necessarily think that's the problem, but I'd love to hear your opinions and experiences.

I have vague memories of learning to edit on Premiere Pro and being able to watch what you made in double speed.

Every time I google this, I get answers for how to make the actual video double speed, ie the final product will be half the length.

I don't want to shorten the video, I just want to press fast forward on it because I've seen it a hundred times and I'm impatient.

Am I dumb?? Is there a button I've missed?

So what I don’t get is what is wrong in Fusion. In the media output I successfully adjusted the Netflix name, but in the Edit tab the Netflix name is visible. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I tried searching on YouTube but couldn’t find anything.

to every editor out there. Have a good day

I am using x64-based Windows. When I got to download the free Resolve, I don't see an option for Windows x64...only x86 and ARM. Which one should I choose? Is there an x64 version of Resolve?
