Can it truly replace your current NLE while enhancing your workflow? How do you manage multiple editors using a shared storage solution? \n  \nThis 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. \nThis session in particular aims to look into the scripted workflow and situations where you have multiple editors and assistants working on one project and covers project sharing in both cloud and local situations. \nWhether 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. \n \n APPLICATION CLOSED\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Delivery informationWho is this course forWhat will we coverLearning outcomes\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Classroom-basedDate – 14th & 15 October 2025Duration – 2 daysLevel – Entry\, Experienced\, CPD\, Upskilling10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Includes Lunch \n \n \n \n \n \n The course is open to editors of all content but primarily offline editors working on shared projects as well as assistants and support staff alike. \nYou will need to be working or living in Wales to be eligible for this fully funded course. \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe software and its interface\nMultiple editors – sharing a project in cloud or on-prem\nEditing In the Edit Page\nAdding Titles and Effects\nColor Correction in the Color Page\nProject Setup and Preferences\nProject Organisation in the Media Page\nMixing Audio in Fairlight (an overview)\nVisual Effects in Fusion (an overview)\nDelivery and Media Management\n\n \n \n \n \n \n By the end of this session\, you’ll have a solid understanding of DaVinci Resolve as an editing tool\, along with a comprehensive overview of its unique “pages” and their specific functions.  This will enable you to apply your existing editing skills to DaVinci Resolve efficiently\, enhancing your creative possibilities with a powerful new piece of software. \nYou’ll also be able to share elements within your project with assistant and editors alike with cloud and on-prem project management. \nAs a delegate on the course you will also be notified of any networking events run by ourselves or partners as well as having access to our regular drop in session at Gorilla Academy. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This project has received support from the Welsh Government via Creative Wales \nIt is part of a project called Stepping Stones being introduced by Gorilla AcademyThe funding will support entry level and up-skilling training opportunities within post production in Wales with a percentage of the training being delivered through the medium of Welsh \nNB Applicants need to either live or work in Wales currently \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n APPLICATION CLOSED URL:https://gorillagroup.tv/course/csf_edit_share_resolve/ LOCATION:Gorilla 101\, 101 Golate House\, 101 St Marys Street\, Cardiff\, CF101DX ORGANIZER;CN="Gorilla Academy":MAILTO:hello@gorillaacademy.tv END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251006T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251007T170000 DTSTAMP:20260409T130744 CREATED:20250918T103808Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250929T135542Z UID:2733-1759744800-1759856400@gorillagroup.tv SUMMARY:Adobe After Effects for the edit DESCRIPTION:After Effects can be a valuable asset during the offline edit by allowing editors to create temp graphics\, mock up visual effects\, and pre-visualise complex sequences like split screens or motion elements.
