Nice work on your first AI video, @Sea Gulls! Looks super clean 🙌 If you’re ready for another project, try the Storybook Cottage tutorial, or take on Hidden Bunker if you want a bigger challenge. You could also keep this story going! Have a character walk up to the clean car, get in, and drive away. Then create another shot of them driving through the woods and out onto the road. Generate those as separate clips and bring them together in your editor. Use your clean-car image as a reference to keep the car consistent between scenes. Would love to see what you create next!

DaVinci Resolve vs. CapCut: Which One Do You Use? 🎬

DaVinci Resolve has a steeper learning curve than CapCut—but it’s free, powerful, and gives you plenty of room to grow. That’s why I use it and recommend it throughout the Academy, especially if you have a desktop computer. For my AI videos, I’m usually combining multiple clips, matching colors between generations, adjusting speed, layering audio, and exporting at the highest quality possible. DaVinci gives me the control I need without requiring a subscription for the core workflow. That said, CapCut is easier to learn and great for quick edits, especially on mobile. The best editor is ultimately the one that helps you finish your videos and publish consistently. 🎬 DaVinci Resolve ✂️ CapCut 🅿️ Premiere Pro 🛠️ Something else What are you currently using?

@Tony Iverson That sounds like a solid workflow. What types of videos are you usually creating with that setup? I’d be interested to see what you’re working on. 👀

Hey @Zeel Parmar! You can start with the free tutorials in the Academy, including the Abandoned Car, Storybook Cottage, and Hidden Bunker projects. Open the Start Here section and choose one to follow step by step. The Academy tutorials are free to access, but the third-party AI tools used to generate images and animations may require credits or a paid plan. Some tools occasionally offer limited free credits, trials, or promotions, but completely free video generation is usually limited. I recommend checking the tool and cost guidance inside the lesson before starting so you know what will be required. 👍
