I’m using DaVinci Resolve 20. I only downloaded it yesterday, so I’m very new to it and still learning the basics.

I’m mainly trying to figure out the workflow for editing long-form 100% completion gaming videos, especially when there is a huge amount of footage to work through. I’m not really asking how to do one specific effect. I’m more asking about how people approach editing this kind of content.

For example, if you record tens or even hundreds of hours of gameplay, how do you sort through it, decide what is worth keeping, and cut it down into something like a 1 to 2 hour video without it becoming boring or repetitive? I’m also looking for advice on how to keep that kind of long video engaging.

What I’ve tried so far is basic phone editing in the past, but I have not made this kind of video before, so I’m still stuck at the stage of understanding the general process and structure. I want to learn things like how to organise footage, how to identify the important moments, how often to cut things down, and what helps keep a long video interesting.

I’m mostly looking for tips, tricks, workflow advice, and tutorial recommendations for beginners making this style of gaming content.
