Image Source: MZed Why Learn DaVinci Resolve first?ĭaVinci Resolve has been a color grading powerhouse for a long time now, and it’s widely accepted by professional editors and colorists. Ollie Kenchington uses the Resolve platform in both his Directing Color and Mastering Color courses on MZed, although he emphasizes that the lessons can be applied to any color grading software.
There’s even a proficiency exam you can take to become a certified DaVinci Resolve editor.Īnd if you prefer a more hands-on guide to learning DaVinci Resolve, I believe MZed’s Definitive Guide to DaVinci Resolve course is a perfect companion for starting your editing journey. And if you have to choose, then in my opinion learning DaVinci Resolve may be the perfect starting point to honing your editing skills, even if you end up using other NLEs down the road.įor anyone new to editing, Blackmagic provides a wealth of free resources to learn the ins and outs of the DaVinci Resolve user interface and tools. And if there isn’t an economical reason to switch – like a client or workplace requirement – then taking on a new program is purely a personal choice to keep growing, learning, and expanding skill sets.īut if you’re just starting out with video editing, you get to choose the software platform to learn on, without any preexisting opinions or habits. After all, a familiar NLE becomes sort of like an extension of your hands and brain. It’s extremely difficult to convince a proficient editor to switch software.
