SESSION DESCRIPTIONS

All NLEs today can edit video with professional results. The primary difference is in HOW they edit – the interface. This three-session bundle explores how Adobe Premiere Pro and Apple Final Cut Pro editors can use DaVinci Resolve 17 to augment the tools in their existing NLE.

NOTE: These three sessions cover all major aspects of Resolve except for the Edit and Fusion pages.

SESSION 1 – The New Cut Page

In the latest version (v17.4) of DaVinci Resolve, Blackmagic Design introduced the Cut Page, an interface designed for high-speed, fast-turnaround editing. More than just keyboard shortcuts, this page rethinks what editors need when deadlines are measured in minutes, rather than days.

This session covers:

• Import media
• Edit clips into the timeline
• Trim clips
• Apply transitions, titles and effects
• Export the final project for the web or a master file

More details.

SESSION 2 – The Color Page

It is no exaggeration to say that color grading in DaVinci Resolve is considered state-of-the-art. But, both Premiere and Final Cut have excellent color grading tools, what makes Resolve better? The answer is the depth and power of its tools.

This session covers:

• Using XML to transfer projects from Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro to Resolve
• The Color page interface
• The video scopes in Resolve
• Using the color wheels to make primary color changes
• Using selection tools to make secondary color changes
• Moving graded projects from Resolve back to Premiere and FCP

More details.

SESSION 3 – Fairlight Audio Page

Our three-part look at DaVinci Resolve 17 concludes with an exploration of the Fairlight audio mixing page. The best way to improve the quality of your video is to improve the quality of your audio. And the tools in Fairlight are among the best.

This session covers:

• The Fairlight interface
• How to edit and trim audio clips
• How to set and measure audio levels
• The basics of audio mixing
• Key audio effects and how to set them
• How to output the finished mix

More details.

Join Larry Jordan as he examines what Resolve can do and compares it with existing editing tools in both Apple Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere. This isn’t a case of replacing what you are using now. Rather this is an opportunity to discover new tools and other ways to tell stories using motion pictures.
