Hey, what’s up guys—Chris Lee back with another United Destiny Entertainment tutorial. In this video I’m showing you the basics of importing media files inside of DaVinci Resolve, especially if you’re brand new to YouTube and you’re just trying to get your footage in so you can start editing. DaVinci Resolve is industry standard and it has a free version (and a paid version), so it’s a solid option when you’re starting out and you don’t want to spend a bunch of money up front. I walk you through two easy ways to import: you can go to File > Import > Media (or hit Command + I), find your footage on your hard drive/external drive/downloads folder, and open it. I also show you how to stay organized using bins—think of bins like folders for separating A-roll, B-roll, and whatever other shots you’re using—then you can right-click inside the bin and import directly there. And if your timeline playback is struggling (especially with 4K), I show you the quick fix: go to Playback > Timeline Playback Resolution and drop it to Half or Quarter. I usually edit on Quarter so it plays smooth, then you can switch back later—your export can still come out full quality.
