DaVinci Resolve Editing & Colour Introduction Masterclass 4 Days - Manchester

DaVinci Resolve Introduction Masterclass 4 Days Overview

This course is for new users of Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve. It is designed for those people who wish to learn video editing in this premium level video editing and colour grading application.

DaVinci Resolve combines professional non-linear video editing with the world’s most advanced colour corrector so now you can edit, colour correct, finish and deliver all from one system.

This course can be taken in a single 4-day block or split into a 2-day block (Editing) and then a separate 2-day block (Colour Correction) taken at a later date.

Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites

As this is a level 1 course all you will need to have are basic computer skills such as using text editors, email applications etc. and a desire to use video creatively. It is advised (although not essential) that you complete this editing course prior to going onto the colour grading course.

DaVinci Resolve is a powerful application and therefore you should ensure that you have a reasonably powerful computer that will meet the needs of the editing you wish to do after the course. This includes ideally having a quad core processor, 16G of RAM and a GPU (Graphics card with at least 1.5 – 2G of video RAM).
