Done > Perfect & Tools That Remove DevRel Video Creation Barriers | DevReel #14


Welcome to Week #14! Been sick for two weeks. But I'm back! Missed you all. Let's dive in.
📺 Video of the Week
I had the chance to see all Blackmagic's announcement at NAB in Las Vegas and I'm really eager to show you what's new. The latest DaVinci Resolve beta is packed with AI tools that will actually transform how you create content:
AI Music Editor - Sound mixing with music and your voice that sounds professional.
IntelliScript - Import your footage, give Davinci your script and it makes all the cut for you.
Magic Mask 2 - Select objects with 1 click
Audio Assistant - Professional sound without audio engineering skills
Voice Convert - If you hate your voice, this fixes it.
Animated Subtitles - Captions that grab attention
IntelliCut - Automatic editing
Why this matters for you: These tools eliminate the tedious parts of video production. More time for storytelling and content.
I'm particularly excited about the audio features. Good audio mixing typically requires years of expertise. Now it's accessible to everyone and I already tried them and are really good results.

🎯 Tip of the Week: Just Press Record
The best video gear in the world means nothing if you don't use it.
Stop waiting for perfect conditions. Stop overthinking your script. Stop worrying about your appearance.
Just press record.
My first videos were terrible. My current videos will probably look amateur in 2-3 years. But I keep creating. Done is better than perfect.
Your audience doesn't need perfection. They need your knowledge.
🛠️ Personal Milestone: I'm Now a Certified DaVinci Resolve Trainer!
After years of preparation, I've officially become a Blackmagic Design certified trainer for DaVinci Resolve. This certification opens new doors for bringing professional video training to developer advocates.
I'll be developing specialized training programs for developer relations and PLG teams. Stay tuned for official courses that will transform how you create technical content, as usual, ALL MY CONTENT IS FOR FREE.
3 things before you go:
1. Pick up your phone today and record a 60-second video about something you know well.
2. Forward this to someone who's been "waiting for the right time" to start creating.
3. Reply and tell me which AI feature you're most excited about.
Thank you, Kevin
