Master Project Settingsīy selecting clips and right clicking them, you can create a “New Timeline Using Selected Clips…”. Otherwise your video will have black bars when the video is too high or too wide. The program either didn’t ask me or I ignored it, so I had to change it manually (to get to the project settings click the gearwheel in the right lower corner). It might be that the dimensions of your video doesn’t fit the project settings (it should ask you at the beginning to fix that).

Timelines are where the actual editing happens.

You can also trim videos later when you have created a timeline. With Mark In / Mark Out you mark start and end.Rightclick at the positions where your sub clip should start/end.In this view I created sub clips by trimming the start and end of the videos that I wanted to concatenate. In my screenshot you also already see timelines because I took the screenshot after I finished the first video. When you first open the program, create a project and add some videos, you will see an overview of all the clips in the project. Download the version you want (I use the free version DaVinci Resolve 12.5.5).
