Learning DaVinci Resolve

“

- Welcome to this course, which is designed to get you up to speed on DaVinci Resolve in as little time as possible. This series is designed to be version-agnostic. What do I mean by that? It doesn't matter if you're working in Resolve 14, or Resolve 17, or some other version. Our goal is to get you oriented with core DaVinci Resolve tools and workflows. And they form the foundation of every version of DaVinci Resolve released in the past few years. My name is Patrick Inhofer. I've been working in post-production for over 30 years. I started in New York City as an editor, but I've dedicated myself to digital finishing and color grading for the past 20 years. In this series, you'll learn the core information you need to get through DaVinci Resolve without stumbling. It's also designed to help you decide if DaVinci Resolve is the right software for you. But make no mistake, DaVinci Resolve is very deep. Consider this series an introduction to help you get started. I've provided you a 60-second commercial that you will organize, edit, color correct, add graphics, mix, and render for final delivery. We start by learning about the various toolsets, how they're organized, and how you move your projects from rough cut through final rendering. We step through the process of importing your media using both manual and automated tools to organize that media. And then we start building your rough cut in Resolve's Cut page. We'll then move to the Edit page to finesse your rough cut and look at the more advanced trim tools. Of course, color correction is essential for a visually cohesive story. You'll learn how the Color page is organized, how to use color wheels, curves, create isolations, and use the tracker. Extremely important to your story is sound. Using the Fairlight page, learn how to organize your tracks, apply EQ at the clip and track level, and create sub buses to group track channels for the final mix. For most of us, the whole point of this is to release your project to the world. In the Deliver page, you'll learn how to use preset export templates, create your own reusable custom export templates, and set up multiple renders in the render queue. We're covering a lot of ground. And I'm looking forward to getting you started with DaVinci Resolve no matter the version you're using.
