It sounds like an exciting journey into editing! You’re on the right track—hands-on experience is key. Plus, the fact that you can access the software for free is a game-changer, isn’t it? As a Blackmagic certified trainer in Da Vinci Resolve, I’ve tailored this course to cover everything from the ground up, guiding you through the entire editing process until the final delivery.
Here’s what you’ll dive into:
- Proper setup and organization of an editing project
- Tagging, organizing, and navigating metadata
- Efficient workflows for 4K and camera RAW projects using proxies and optimized media
- Comprehensive utilization of Da Vinci Resolve’s array of tools
- Editing techniques for short films and corporate interview-style videos
- Quick editing using the cut panel for an initial pass
- Basics of audio editing in the edit panel, including sound design fundamentals
- And much more!
Hands-on learning is at the core of this course. You’ll immediately start working on a complete short film once you download it. These professional projects are sourced directly from the industry, crafted by experienced practitioners (many of whom I’ve worked with), giving you top-notch learning material.
