Lagging Playback in Davici

I am editing footage shot on a Red camera in 6k. However, im working on my MacBook so I have proxies set to 1/4 playback resolution, I have my project settings at 1080, and color grades and fusion effects disabled. Yet my playback is still lagging horribly and I cannot edit at all. What could I possibly be doing wrong???

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all! This is my first post and I apologize for the gaming related post but this is the first YouTube video that I've put any sort of effort into and any tips that you can give would be greatly appreciated!

I feel like my audio balancing could use some work. I basically tried to keep the audio monitor in Davinci Resolve to never show red but if there is something more in depth or if I should possibly shoot for even lower audio then let me know!

I got bit by the video-editing bug when I had to make a video for a school project and I was just looking for any outlet to edit another video lol, so this is only the second video I've edited ever! if there is anything that you would like to provide in regards to the actual video editing please let me know as I feel like it's pretty good but I've got "beginner glasses" and it all looks basically perfect LMAO

How can I get my first client?

I have invested a lot of time in editing the last few months and I am a point where I am confident with my ability to write good scripts and edit in a way that looks nice. If you want to be the judge of that I have my work uploaded in YT link in the bio. (I specialize in video essays and documentaries)

I want to use that skill to earn some money and I can get away with charging not very much because I recently moved to a place with low cost of living and semester break is going on so I'm free. What steps should I take to get my first client? I don't really wanna annoy people in DMs or Emails but if that's what I have to do I might.

For those looking to build their first (or second) website. I share my tools and process.

Hey everybody,

First, I am not a coder. I know some code, but do not code my websites...

I am a freelance no-code web developer who has been building sites for the last 5 years on WordPress.

I now believe that I have enough knowledge to share my process and tools that will (hopefully) help you achieve the same

In the guide I provide the best hosting, design tools, and practices for building a website with no code knowledge and include (what I think) are best practices for website building.

If interested, I will leave it here: https://www.marcus-aurelius.com/build-a-website-from-scratch/

Happy building 🫡

Zone of interest hansel and gretel story editing question

Idk if this is the sub to ask this in, but I'm very curious. There's a part in the movie 'the zone of interest' where we watch a little girl doing things while the hansel and gretel story is being told, and the editing of it all is really interesting to me. Anyone knows how was it done? The movie is known to be very minimal when it comes to its editing, but this seems like a lot more than a simple colour inversion. Would love to hear what you think. My best guess is that she and things like the train smoke & apples are either rotoscoped/comped in, but I'm not sure... Thanks in advance ^^

How does this old channel make old fighting footage look so good?

I've been obsessing over old Mike Tyson videos and binged a whole channel. Which left me wondering how does he make all these old fights look decent? Is it a filter? I don't think it's simply using sharpening feature in adobe premiere.

I give up making my own website. 😔🏳️

Hi everyone.

I just need to vent for a minute. I am currently in the building process of my own website, but let me tell you, it has been a roller coaster of frustration. I thought WordPress was the solution, but I was wrong.

I got as far as installing XAMPP and trying to run WordPress on a local host, but it was a total mess. Every step of building a simple website seems like a monumental task. And don't even get me started on trying to figure out the navigation menu - it's like struggling with a stubborn beast.

I've had grand ideas about making my site look like something out of Wikipedia, with fancy fonts, colors, shapes, you name it. But my brain feels as dumb and blank as it always does when faced with the complexities of WordPress.

After banging my head against the wall for far too long, I've come to terms with the fact that WordPress and I will never get along. It's time to hang it up now.

I'm deeply sorry for the frustration, but I'm waving the white flag.

Thanks for reading.
