Accent is tough to understand at times. Also, even if you don't use the audio tab, it's good to have a section on it for someone who's paid the fee for the class.
By Marten Grevenstuk on 11/9/2023
Volgorde lesstof OK. Instructies met teveel Uhhh's. Stem som slecht te verstaan. Engelse ondertiteling niet gelijk aan hetgeen verteld wordt. Audio met een irritante ruis/piep/hizzz op de achtergrond. Lijkt me niet echt professioneel opgezet en nabewerkt.

Basic you need to know, inspiring to make project

The instructor seems knowledgeable but since English isn’t his first language he is a little choppy in his presentation so I have to rewind every once in a while to listen again. Maybe others don’t need to. I like the order he is going in so far.

I really like it,very good explanation

This was the second Davinci course I took on Udemy. I used this as a review, but found it more informative than the first one.
By Lia on 9/18/2022
Good and clear explanation.
By Rogelio Muñoz Cerdán on 8/17/2022
There is not much value on the course, even the footage to practice is not that good for the examples, you can learn a lot more from youtube tutorials, there is nothing to learn outside the basic conceps and basic tools of Resolve, and even then, the couse doesnt seems to have an especific route to follow, the creator seems to improvise from one video to another as it seem from the excesive rambling everytime he has to use a new button For an editing course, its not very well edited, i have no doubt he knows at some extents what he does, but definetly doesnt know how to present that
By Bùi Khoa Nguyên on 6/8/2022
The author's instructions are very detailed, simple, and easy to understand for beginners. I love this way of teaching, and recommend taking the course!
By Daniel Jacobs on 5/9/2022
Great Course! Very well explained, and very detailed! I didn't know anything about DaVinci before taking this course, but now it seems like I can truly do my own project, and the best part is that DaVinci seems pretty easy right now. Thank you once again, Marius!
