well, what you need to get started.ĭaVinci Resolve is quickly becoming the hottest NLE on the market, which isn’t surprising since you can download a copy for free with access to 90 percent of its features. However, while most free versions of programs like this offer a simplified form of the premium version, DaVinci Resolve does not. As a result, loading up the software for the first time can be very daunting. To get the full benefits of the course, we recommend you watch the tutorial series. However, if you need to highlight a specific note from the video, you can find a transcript of the tutorial below the video. Nobody likes listening to an introduction to a tutorial, but there are two factors that need introduction. The first: I am a certified Resolve trainer, and what I’m teaching you is an incredibly condensed version of what Blackmagic taught me to train new editors on this platform. The second: this is an incredibly condensed crash course I think it’s disingenuous to say that you will be proficient with Resolve after a 30-minute YouTube series. However, what you will have is the knowledge and the foundation of how things work and how to perform enough tasks to set you on your voyage to becoming a skillful Resolve editor.įor example, in episode one, we will be looking at the media page and importing media files. There are going to be several advanced options, such as importing based on EDLs or importing with a source code offset.

However, I’m not including these advanced elements in the crash course because it would increase the overall length of the series dramatically. In episode one, we’re going to look at creating a new project, importing media, organizing your media, and the metadata panel. When you first load Resolve, you’ll see the project manager. This is where you’ll open, create, import, and export projects. Note: this isn’t where you’ll save projects in a folder-based sense as with Premiere.
