Course Description

DaVinci Resolve 16 is a fully featured cross platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) video editor that comes in the base version for free and studio version. There are no watermarks in your export and the editor is very comparable to other top editors like Adobe Premier or Sony Vegas. In this course, I'll teach you what you need to know to produce quality videos out of your raw footage.

  • Learn how to add video effects, transitions, and custom titles to your videos

  • Explore the new Cut editing workflow

  • Create 3D special effects and custom titles with Fusion

  • Manipulate your video's look by making changes to the coloring.

  • Learn more about exporting your video including how you can upload straight to YouTube automatically

The program can be broken down into 6 main areas, including the new Cut editor, for importing and managing your video, audio, and image assets. The editing tab where you will do the bulk of your work actually placing video clips on the timeline, cutting away unnecessary footage, as well as adding effects and titles to your video. The cut editor serves as an alternative to the edit tab focused on a faster workflow, less interface clutter, and 3 easy to use timelines for different levels of precision in your adjustments. The fusion tab allows you create and modify powerful 3D effects creating objects and manipulating lights, color, 3D rotation and position, and more straight from within Resolve. Next, we will jump to the color tab where you can create advanced custom effects changing the visuals of your video with tools like layer masks and power windows. The Fairlight tab allows you to manipulate and improve your audio with VST plugins and record new voice overs inside the program. When all is said and done, you finish up your project by exporting inside of the deliver tab. Let's get to it!

My philosophy in information technology and learning in general is that video learning is the one of the best ways to learn things yourself. I can provide the videos but it's up to you as my student to absorb and practice the information to become a more educated and skilled person.

This course is quite good. the only criticism that I would give is during certain sections, the instructor would go a little too fast and i would need to rewind to see which buttons he pressed. Instructor also seems to be in a hurry and not explaining things out better. but it is still a decent course, his course is comprehensive and there are a lot of things that i have learned.

By Rubén Jiménez Rodríguez on 12/3/2019

I liked the course, I learned even if I didn't know much about Davinci, but I get the feeling that the way of explaining the topics could be more in depth, more organized in chronological order and taking the subject step by step. I like the way it's taught by doing things, but more context and a slower explanation of how things work would be easier to follow I think. For example the nodes is a concept that it's not so easy to understand, even more if you have to add merge and more nodes that I have never heard of. Maybe a more general and conceptual explanation, and then the details and practical explanations would be better to follow. And also a walk through the interface in order to have a global perspective of the software, not directly jump to do things. Nevertheless you get the feeling that Chris knows the software and has experience with it

Very good course for the ones who are starting with Da Vinci Resolve 16

Nice experience after three month of tutos on DVR ^^ This is NOT a beginner tuto and you should have a base knowledge on DVR to go into this course ! Nice to discover tricks and workflow...Perfect when you master a few this soft and you want to go fearther ;-) I would be happy to find a complete course on fusion with this teacher ;-) Bests regards from Colmar, FR ..JF

the course content was basic and I was looking for more details in something that was explained and in some places the tutor was just telling that what to do with this but didn't mention what is this for and I needed to watch the video again and again to figure out when to use and what to use this for and he didn't explained the details of the options in the course

By KC Brooks on 9/8/2019

It was a bit fast in some places. However I have not used any video editing tools for film before. I am sure people who have used others would be following easier as I am still learning the language and terminology.

By Ken Tucker on 8/23/2019

So far it has very good information. I understand some of the criticism of the presenter speaking quickly but it works for packing a lot of information into a little over 3 hours. He does abruptly jump into new sections but again it is packing a lot into 3 hours. Just know that you may have to stop and rewind if you want to work along with the instruction. That's why you buy it so that you can go at your own pace.

By Guy McLoughlin on 8/20/2019

The content is good, but I find the transitions from one chapter to another very abrupt. I wish the author had allowed for a few seconds of silence at the end of each chapter. ( with other Udemy courses the authors often will have a quick intro musical flourish to establish the start of each chapter, and a few seconds of silence to establish the end of a chapter )

By Mike Flanagan on 6/2/2019

So far you are going way too fast ... and you do things without explanation such as deleting something you just did to do another example ... another example you move the key framing line but you say you aren't going to show the result ... Well I'm here to learn SHOW me PLZ. I'm sure I'll have more to say later ... Example in Lesson 5 Transitions at time 2:08 he adds a border and changes the color of the Heart transition ... I had to watch it 20 tomes to see what he was actually doing it was done so fast ... we're students when you make more training videos remember that keep it slow and don't do anything with out saying what your doing Missed steps even CTRL Z without explanation will confuse a new student. PLZ Slow Down so I don't think I wasted my $16.99.

By Mark Crespo on 5/29/2019

Excellent information in this course. I came to this lesson with no prior knowledge of any version of Davinci Resolve and this video got me up to speed with the basics in a day. The presenter is very knowledgeable and speaks in just the right pace for me to follow and keep me engaged. The only thing missing was some sample files to work with. That wasn't a problem for me but I can see other people might need something to experiment on during the course.
