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.

-
Create 3D special effects and custom titles with Fusion

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

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!

Sometimes author repeats his lines, like he forget to delete failed attempts. But here you could find some basic topics on DaVinci Resolve, that surely will be useful almost in each project.
Guy McLoughlin –
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 )

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
Keith –
I found this to be a very helpful and informative tutorial. A good starting point in learning a complicated editing software. To be able to go back at any time to a topic is invaluable.
Thank you Chris.
William Wright –
A lot of info was repeated through different lessons.
Overall it was helpful to me as someone transitioning from Premiere to Resolve
Ramon Pereira –
Very good course for the ones who are starting with Da Vinci Resolve 16
Rubén Jiménez Rodríguez –
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
Ahmad Falahdini –
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.
Yves Le Corre –
He provides a lot of information in a short time to imagine what can be done with the tool. I can come back and try the technique with all the info provided.
Jennifer Barrett –
He is going very fast, and its hard to follow as a person new to editing.
I’d also like material I could print out to help me.
Ambica Rajagopal –
It is very good. I am really loving the course
Stephen Rivera –
Get to the important points without the usual rambling that so many other instructors do, I am learning tons of important key features of the software.
