DR is excellent in IMO.

Casey's videos got me started with DR a few years ago. He is an excellent teacher.

Funny, I just switched from Premiere Pro to Resolve and went looking on YT for some training, came across that video watched it yesterday. Good stuff. I feel like Resolve is more intuitive than PP, though it will take a little for the nodes functions to sink into my head. I'm looking forward to delving deeper into it.

I also recently switched full-time from Premiere Pro to Resolve. It seems like Premiere Pro keeps getting worse as Resolve keeps getting better. At least on my M1-Pro MacBook, Resolve is tremendously faster, and uses the GPU a lot more. It is also a much better user experience. I don’t even need proxies when working with my Air 3’s 150mpbs 10-bit footage. Intensive tasks like tracking and stabilization are also much faster on Resolve for me.

I like DaVinci for the fact that you can use the paid Studio version on Windows and Mac for a one-time fee with free updates and no monthly subscription. It's also a very powerful editing program.

I’ve watched Casey’s video for editing drone footage on the iPad, lots of great information in there.
This one looks like it’ll be pretty awesome as well.
Next computer I get will be a Mac as iPad is good, but has its limitations as some apps like Topaz denoise are only available on Mac or windows.

Does anyone know how to download this video to Macbook? Everytime I try I get Download failed Storage full message. I have 400GB of available storage on my Macbook. Isn't that enough? I tried 480 quality, it went to 57%. I tried 144 quality, it went to 91% and then the same download failed message.

Are you trying to get it on the Mac App store?...It's not an easy app to use

 

[Filmarik]

No

No. I just simply open YT through Chrome browser by clicking on the above posted video. I've become Premium YT user which allows download. But it fails every time...

 

[MARK (LI)]

Try going to the Mac App store...it might be more friendly towards your computer

Thanks. I'll try that. I can not believe that such a basic thing does not work on Mac. So frustrating...

Are you trying to simply download a YT video to your computer so you can watch it later? If so, I use this program on my Mac called jdownloader.org

Size of the video ranges from 4k (11gb) to 1080p (900mb) and takes 45min or 3min; I have both video files.

Yes. That is exactly what I am trying to do. I thought it was going to be a simple straight forward process. Big mistake. What a nightmare this is turning into...

Been using Jdownloader2 for years it seems. Once you get it set up....it just works. You leave it open on your computer and whenever you copy a URL to the clipboard, the program will scan the link and find all the srts, video files, audio files, gifs, jpgs....everything that can be downloaded and then you can choose what you want (even the resolution/size) and the destination on your harddrive or NAS. Works with almost any location on the web especially places like YT and vimeo. Has a lot of functions such as pause, retry, filters, etc. Simplest I've found because yeah, so many other methods have issues.

Thank you. Downloading now. The speed of download 4kB/s. Time required 5 hrs...Not sure if it is their server being that slow or what. Patience patience. Or do I need to give donation first before the download speed increases???

I am new to Mac but I am perplexed that one of the most common apps on internet such as YT does not work properly. It feels like a bad dream

I tried everything but did not get anywhere. Would you be kind enough to share the downloaded 1080p file with me via Dropbox? It could even be in lower resolution i.e. 480p if it was easier to share it way. Thank you in advance
