DaVinci Resolve Introduction Masterclass 4 Days
Course Details
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).

The course has allowed me to have a greater understanding of DaVinci, before hand it seemed like a mind field but now I'm comfortable in doing the basics. It's made me more aware of working with the Parade and Waveforms.

5/5 Stars
I found the course very useful and informative. The instructor went at a steady pace and made sure everyone understood before moving onto the next section. There was lots of new information to absorb, but at no point over the two days did I feel overwhelmed or unsure of anything.

I travelled from Scotland to Manchester for this course and it was really worthwhile. I didn't have much knowledge or experience with colour grading or DaVinci Resolve before starting but I now feel comfortable to use the software. There were plenty of practical exercises to practice everything learnt and this allowed more opporunities to ask questions and problem solve. It was a good mix of listening and taking part. Shailes was great - a big thanks to him!

Very useful but would have preferred if it was more than 2 day course and more focused on one area instead of general knowledge.

4/5 Stars
Very good, some bits felt less relevant to me than others, but that's a personal perspective, as all round general training it was very good.

4/5 Stars
Shailesh gave a good overview of colour correcting & grading in Resolve, and asked questions about how I use grading in my current job / what I intend to do with it in the future so that he could tailor the training accordingly. I definitely feel more confident with it than I did before.

Very useful course, if anything was a bit rushed as a lot of content we went through, but was very good overall. Had a few tech issues along the way.

4/5 Stars
Good course, plenty of topics and theory covered, tutor very knowledgeable. In an ideal world, would love to be able to have more time to practice each and every function as it is learnt, but appreciate time constraints. As a beginner, very grateful for the option to have follow-up questions answered.
