Feeling stuck as the days get shorter? We’re talking real-world motivation for creators, how to stay focused when it’s dark by 4pm, and what’s new in DaVinci Resolve 20.2

Casey’s back from an illness rollercoaster, Alex has been deep in the lab building Magic Subtitles, and we both share how we’re resetting our channels for useful, evergreen content.

In this episode:

• Our simple anti-grind playbook: the five-minute rule, guilt-free rest, and choosing consistency over burnout

• Resolve updates we actually care about: Edit page redesign & track controls, Source Tape on Edit, “silence remover” that finally works, and ProRes RAW support

• The new Studio rental option (who it’s for—and why it doesn’t mean subscriptions are taking over)

• Why expectations wreck motivation (and how to set ones that stick)

• Alex’s dev bubble: building Magic Subtitles and what’s next for Resolve plugins

• Re-focusing our channels on extremely useful beginner content that still holds up a year from now

If you’re a creator trying to keep momentum through autumn/winter—or just want the no-nonsense take on recent Resolve changes—this one’s for you.
