Clipchamp had me re-linking the same media so often it felt like I was paying a toll to work on my own project. Same folders. Same computer. Same footage. New round of “prove it” every time.
So I switched to DaVinci Resolve which is less “drag and drop” and more “welcome to the cockpit.” I wrote up what tripped me up (nodes, Groups, Fairlight, multi-cam syncing) and the small moments where it finally started to make sense.
Also: I’m cutting my first multi-angle / multi-camera trail video right now! Fishing Creek Revisited (working title), from an early August run at Fishing Creek Nature Preserve. It’s the first time the edit feels like what my brain wanted to make, not just footage stitched together.
