DaVinci Resolve is a brilliant video editing software, in which you can conduct the whole postproduction process, starting from importing the files, through arranging them on the timeline, compositing and adding graphic effects, correction of sound and color and ending up on exporting the final project. It has a basic version offering most of the functions, which is totally free. Whereas in the studio version, well, sky is the limit and… maybe your hardware processing capabilities too. It is really worth to try it on your own!
HOW TO START LEARNING?
The beginnings are always difficult and the knowledge mostly comes from YouTube tutorials. And yes, you can find there many reliable ones, unfortunately even more is focused only on gathering new subscribers. I can fully recommend materials published on the official Blackmagic Design channel (available both here and in the software Help tab). If however video editing is more than just a hobby, on a certain stage it is really worth the current knowledge to verify, regularize and develop by joining the group training organized by one of the Certified Training Centers, or by individual trainings.
DAVINCI RESOLVE INDIVIDUAL TRAININGS
During individual training sessions, depending on personal preferences, we either follow the standard introductory DaVinci Resolve program, covering a wide range of topics at a basic level, or we focus solely on selected areas in much greater detail. For practice, we use Blackmagic Design training clips, or other media, including your own footage. Additionally, beyond the knowledge itself, an outcome of this training can also be preparation for the DaVinci Resolve Certified End User exam. I personally obtained this certification for versions 15 and 16, and subsequently, starting with version 17, I became a Certified Trainer (currently for version 20 covering: Beginner’s Guide, Editor’s Guide, Visual Effects Guide, Advanced Visual Effects Guide and Colorist’s Guide).
