  • Creating a New Project | DaVinci Resolve Video Editing Course2:30

    Welcome to the first lesson of our DaVinci Resolve course, where we're diving right into the world of video editing. Assuming your installation went smoothly without any graphic card issues, you should be ready to roll.


    Upon opening DaVinci Resolve, you'll be greeted by the project manager or home screen. If you've used DaVinci Resolve before, you'll see a list of your previous projects. However, if this is a fresh installation, you'll likely only see the option to create an untitled project.


    Let's explore the ways to create a new project in DaVinci Resolve:


    1. **Double Click:** Simply double-clicking in the blank area will create an untitled project that you can later rename.


    2. **New Project Option:** Alternatively, you can click the "New Project" option, where you'll be prompted to name your project. Once named, click "Create," and your new project will be ready.


    3. **Right-Click Method:** For a third approach, right-click in the blank area to access various options. Here, you can create a new project or folder, among other features we'll delve into later in the course.


    For now, let's keep it simple and create a new project—let's call it "New Project" for now. Creative, right?


    Now, you're in the heart of DaVinci Resolve's interface. If you ever need to return to the project manager, look for the "Home" button at the bottom right corner.


    In our next lesson, we'll take a detailed tour of this interface. Thank you for watching, and I'll see you in the next lesson.

  • The Overall Workflow in Resolve 17 | DaVinci Resolve Video Editing Course4:00

    Welcome back to our DaVinci Resolve course! In this lesson, I'll provide you with an overview of the straightforward and organized workflow within DaVinci Resolve 17.


    When you first open DaVinci Resolve, it defaults to the Cut page, indicated at the top of the interface. You'll also see the name of your project prominently displayed, which, in our case, is "New project." To make the most of your workspace, you can remove the white bar at the top by navigating to "Workspace" and selecting "Full Screen."


    Now, let's explore the seven buttons at the bottom of the interface, each representing a different workspace or page in Resolve:


    1. **Media Page:** Here, you'll gather all the media required for your project, such as footage, audio, and images, and place them in the Media Pool.


    2. **Cut Page:** Introduced in version 16, this simplified editing page is designed for quick and easy video editing.


    3. **Edit Page:** Once media is imported, you move to this page, where you'll find all the editing tools for video editing.


    4. **Fusion Page:** This page specializes in visual effects, motion graphics, and 3D effects. It's optional and can be skipped if not needed.


    5. **Color Page:** DaVinci Resolve's standout feature, this page is dedicated to color correction and grading, offering powerful tools for a professional finish.


    6. **Fairlight Page:** Here, you can engage in audio editing, mixing, and applying audio filters. It's optional, as basic audio editing can be done on the Edit page.


    7. **Deliver Page:** Once you've completed editing and applied effects, this is where you can produce the final video according to your requirements.


    The workflow in DaVinci Resolve follows a logical sequence from left to right:


    1. Import media.

    2. Video editing.

    3. Visual effects or motion graphics (optional).

    4. Color correction and grading.

    5. Audio effects and mixing (optional).

    6. Produce the final video.


    In the next lesson, we'll dive deeper into each of these pages, exploring their features in detail.


    Thank you for watching, and I look forward to seeing you in the next lesson.
