This class is designed for professional editors looking to transition into DaVinci Resolve as their primary editing tool. Over two or three days, you’ll explore the powerful editing features within daVinci Resolve. While the course centers on editing, you’ll also gain practical insights into color correction, audio post, and media management—giving you a solid foundation in the complete postproduction workflow.
Class sizes are typically capped at ten students, and each participant works at their own station. The course combines hands-on exercises, real-world workflows, and individual guidance to ensure you not only understand the software, but feel confident using it in a professional context.
This is not a beginner course; it’s tailored for experienced editors who are moving from tools like Avid MediaComposer or Premiere Pro and want to understand Resolve as a full-featured editing platform.
Students will receive an iColorist certificate.
We will record online classes and make the recordings available to the participants.
