An introduction to Editing with DaVinci Resolve
April 14 @ 10:00 am - April 15 @ 5:00 pm
FreeBlackmagic DaVinci Resolve has been around for a while as a colour grading tool, but how well does it stack up as a professional editing platform? Can it truly replace your current NLE while enhancing your workflow?
This comprehensive two-day session is designed specifically for editors, offering an in-depth look at Resolve’s powerful editing tools and streamlined workflows. From project setup and timeline management to advanced trimming and timeline effects, you’ll gain hands-on experience with every stage of the editing process. You’ll also explore how Resolve seamlessly integrates colour, audio, and visual effects into your edit, eliminating the need for round-tripping between multiple applications.
Whether you’re considering a switch to Resolve or simply wanting to see what’s under the hood, this session will equip you with the knowledge and techniques needed to begin to understand, and use, this software.
