This Course Offers
DaVinci Resolve 21
I started this course with DaVinci Resolve 17, but have kept it up to date to include new features in DaVinci Resolve and updates to the Blackmagic Design training curriculum. Older superseded lessons are still available as bonus lessons for additional practice. They are still working fine in the latest versions of DaVinci Resolve and are still valuable! You do not need to work with the latest version of DaVinci Resolve, and I generally don’t recommend learning on beta releases.
Free Version of DaVinci Resolve
All main parts of this course can be done with the free version of DaVinci Resolve, except for the 3D Camera Tracking in Lesson 12. In addition, some lessons include further Studio features (Magic Mask, IntelliTrack, ResolveFX) but can still be completed with the free version.
This course is also available in German via Tutorial Experts.
All my German language courses and seminars are available here.
