Blackmagic Design did an excellent job developing the course and Kenchington does an equally excellent job teaching it. So how well does the MZed course work at teaching Davinci Resolve? I can’t imagine that anyone could have done a better job. My Review of Ollie's Davinci Resolve Tutorial Kenchington also offers some tips on editing techniques and aesthetics for those new to editing in general. I would allow roughly 20 hours to watch the course, execute each step, review your work, and go back over any nuances or subtleties you may have missed. The course is designed to follow along and build each project as it’s being taught, using the provided files.

The course length is nine hours and 30 minutes (plus an additional 52 minutes for the Bonus Module) but that is if you simply watch it.

Kenchington's explanations are straightforward, easy to understand, and make excellent use of on screen recordings to illustrate the concept or operation he is describing. The video course also includes a 16 th bonus module in which Kenchington does an admirable job of covering the upgrades, changes, and additions to Resolve in version 16. One of the advantages of the video course following the book is that if you forget something, the book or PDF can be used as a ready reference to refresh your memory. The Definitive Guide to Davinci Resolve course is laid out in 15 modules, all project based, that exactly mirror the chapters in the Blackmagic Design book. I wanted the non-linear editing process to be just as familiar and intuitive - the background to the creative process - not the focus of the work. I wanted to be able to focus on the edit, on producing the end product, without having to spend a lot of time figuring out how to accomplish it, or even thinking about the program.Īs I said, you can learn everything there is to know technologically about editing film in an afternoon.

I think most would agree that it’s a requirement for the technology to become second nature, such that it is a natural tool of creative expression. Let’s start with what I wanted to accomplish. What I Want from Davinci Resolve Training
