DaVinci Resolve Training: Fast Track Gold

Course Overview

The DaVinci Resolve Fast Track Gold course is an eight-day intensive training programme designed to take you from the fundamentals of professional video editing through to advanced post-production and finishing techniques. Combining our Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced training, the course provides a structured progression for anyone who wants to develop comprehensive DaVinci Resolve skills through practical, hands-on learning.

Throughout the course, you’ll build a strong foundation in the DaVinci Resolve interface, Media Pool, Edit page, Timeline, and core project workflows. You’ll learn how to import and organise media, edit and trim footage, create sequences, use transitions and effects, and work confidently with titles, audio, and colour correction. As the training progresses, you’ll move into advanced editing techniques including ripple, roll, slip and slide edits, three-point editing, compound clips, adjustment clips, nested timelines, multicam editing, and efficient project organisation.

You’ll then develop sophisticated post-production skills through advanced keyframe animation, dynamic zoom, stabilisation, speed ramps, retiming, layered effects, and complex multicamera workflows. The colour-grading element progresses from essential correction through to professional grading, covering scopes, Lift, Gamma and Gain, LUTs, curves, qualifiers, Power Windows, tracking, structured node trees, camera matching, creative looks, HDR, and colour-managed workflows.

In Fairlight, you’ll develop advanced audio skills covering dialogue processing, EQ, compression, noise reduction, dynamics, routing, buses, sends, automation, limiting, and professional audio mixing. The programme also expands your understanding of Fusion, introducing node-based compositing, masks, tracking, keying, transformations, text, and graphic elements, while showing how Fusion integrates with the wider Resolve workflow.

You’ll also develop professional media-management and delivery skills, including proxy and high-resolution workflows, relinking and consolidating media, project archiving, managing multiple versions, configuring professional codecs and export settings, and preparing multiple deliverables. Advanced HDR and colour-management techniques will help you understand how to prepare projects for different colour spaces, gamma settings
