Course Overview

The DaVinci Resolve Beginner course is a two-day training programme designed to introduce newcomers to professional video editing and post-production. Delivered in small groups at our London training centre or online, the course provides a practical learning environment where you can develop skills that can be applied directly to real-world video projects.

Throughout the course, you’ll become familiar with the DaVinci Resolve interface, Media Pool, Edit page, Timeline, and essential project workflows. You’ll learn how to import, organise, and manage video, audio, and image assets before assembling footage into professional-looking sequences using cuts, transitions, trimming, and timeline editing techniques.

You’ll also be introduced to essential audio and colour workflows, learning how to adjust and balance sound, apply basic colour correction, and improve the overall look of your footage. Practical exercises will also cover titles, effects, transitions, and preparing your completed projects for different delivery formats.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid understanding of DaVinci Resolve’s core editing workflow and the confidence to create, refine, and export polished videos for online content, corporate projects, social media, and other professional applications.
