DaVinci Resolve 18 and 18.5 Core Training

Learn the Art of the Cut

DaVinci Resolve 18 Core Training will guide you through Resolve’s end-to-end editing workflow, from initial media import to final delivery and everything in between. In the first series of lessons, you’ll edit a teaser in the Cut Page before moving over to the Edit Page, where you’ll learn essential trimming skills that the pros rely on every day.

Color Grade Like a Pro

At the heart of the DaVinci Resolve experience is the Color Page, where you’ll learn how to perform primary color corrections with Lift, Gamma, and Gain controls, as well as Custom Curves, while evaluating your changes objectively with the video scopes. You’ll then move on to performing targeted color corrections using Qualifiers, Power Windows, and the awesome Color Warper to give your shot more punch.

Sound Edit & Mix

Moving into the Fairlight page, you’ll learn how to properly organize a mix and perform basic sound editing tasks such as cleaning up dialogue, performing audio repairs, and employing Fairlight’s unique approach to copying and pasting audio clips using the playhead. Additionally, you’ll learn how to record voice-over, create submixes, and record fade automation data using the Mixer.

Create Motion Graphics

Fusion is a node-based compositing tool built right into Resolve 18. You’ll learn how to set up multiple trackers for stabilizing a shot and how to clone out unwanted elements in the frame. Once you are comfortable in Fusion’s nodal compositing environment, you’ll learn how to animate a title and then track it to a moving object using another shot from your timeline.
