- We all know that the filmmaking world
is not a cheap world.
It is really, really expensive
and editing programs are no exception.
Let's say you came to me you're like,
Matti, I got no money.
My budget is literally zero.
Well, I got an answer for you.
(dramatic music)
Oh, before I forget, remind me
to tell you guys at the end of the video
who won the Fujifilm X-T30 giveaway.
Okay, back to the video.
There is literally a professional
editing program that costs zero, $0.
It's absolutely free and it's called DaVinci Resolve.
It's a really, really high quality editing program
that costs you no money.
It's absolutely free.
Over the last years, they've been putting a lot of effort
into making this program a really, really good,
competitive editing program.
I would say it competes with the likes
of Final Cut Pro 10 and Premiere.
It is a fully functioning editing program,
all the tools you would need.
And they're constantly updating it and adding new features.
Recently, they added a whole bunch
of audio tweaking features.
They just keep building on it
and adding to it and it's still free.
But get this, DaVinci Resolve wasn't originally
meant to be an editing program.
It was actually for color grading.
DaVinci Resolve has been, and still is, one of the best
if not the best, softwares for color grading and it's free.
So not only can you edit for free,
you can also color grade
on one of the best professional quality
color grading softwares there is, for free.
Is this, is this getting annoying that I'm saying for free?
Because it's still mind boggling to me,
that you can just download it for $0.
You can literally go right now,
on the website, and just download it.
And I'm not getting paid to say any of this.
I just thought it would be really nice for you guys to know,
if you didn't know, that there is a professional
editing and color grading software
out there for you right now, to grab.
And I've always loved DaVinci for color grading.
They have so much control with the color wheels, the HSL.
You can pick colors really easily
and change the hue saturation, the luminance.
You can change pretty much whatever you want.
They have masks that are really easy to work with
and you can track them.
It has one of the best trackers there is.
So let's say you wanna mask somebody's face,
make a different correction for the face,
you can just mask it and track it.
And it tracks like crazy good.
It's kind of scary how good it is.
There's so much you can do with color grading in DaVinci.
I don't even have the time to go through it all right now.
Maybe I should do some DaVinci color grading tutorials,
or DaVinci tutorials in general.
I don't know, maybe we'll get to that.
But I've always made all of my presets,
all of my lights are always made in DaVinci,
just because there's so much more control
than in Premiere or Final Cut.
When we're talking just strictly color grading,
it is just way, like not even in the same class
as Final Cut or Premiere, it is incredible.
It is by far my favorite place to color grade,
even though it takes a little bit of time
because there's so much control.
There's a lot of different tools and ways of doing things.
So it does take a little bit to learn.
I'm not gonna lie, it is a bit of a scary program at first,
especially in the color grading department.
But it's not too bad, just watch a few tutorials
and you'll get it in no time at all.
So how can this program be free?
What's the catch?
There's no way they can just be giving it out.
And I don't really know exactly how they're able to do it,
but there is a few limitations.
So they do limit the free version,
up to 4K 60 frames for second.
You can't do, let's say 8K footage, which makes sense.
If you're filming in 8K, you're filming with some red
that's worth a lot of money and you can probably
afford to buy editing software.
So that makes sense, so up to 4K.
And then there's some tools missing.
For example, you can't denoise.
I think there's grains that you can add in the paid version.
Lens flares, deflickering, there's a bunch of tools
that are really nice to have
but you don't actually need them for your color grading.
So there's no real catch, it is a free program.
Maybe they wanna kind of get you in the eco-system,
so you use their cameras, the Blackmagic cameras,
or their other software, and that's why they kind of
have this as a free version.
But, yeah, it is fully, fully free, professional,
color grading, and editing software for $0.
So, if you wanna be a film maker right now
and you have no money,
well you at least can't use the excuse of
I don't have editing software.
I don't have money to buy editing software.
You can right now, go and download DaVinci Resolve.
Highly, highly recommended.
Especially if you're using something like iMovie
or just some other free kind of ghetto,
very primitive editing software, check out DaVinci Resolve.
If you don't wanna spend any money,
and who does wanna spend money, check out DaVinci.
Yeah, quick little pro tip for you guys.
Alright, see you guys.
So the winner for the Fujifilm X-T30 giveaway is,
and I can finally say the name properly
and have confidence in it because it's a Finnish guy,
what are the chances?
The winner of the Fujifilm X-T30 is, Valtteri Lochte.
Congrats man, it's a great little camera.
I'm sure you're gonna love it.
Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Alright, that's it for this one, bye.
