Video editing on DaVinci Resolve — Learn to edit like a pro videographer (YouTube, short films, social media)

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 46 € /h

This course is for people who really want to learn how to edit videos and understand how to tell a story with their images.

We will be working directly in DaVinci Resolve, a professional software used in film, advertising, and YouTube. The goal is not just to learn the buttons, but to know what to do with your footage: choosing the right shots, creating rhythm, and making a video that is both visually appealing and professional.

Depending on your objective (YouTube, short films, music videos, social media, corporate videos), I will guide you step by step:
– file organization
– basics of editing (cuts, transitions, rhythm)
– clean transitions (without kitschy effects)
– audio and music editing
– titration
– Introduction to color calibration
– Export optimized for YouTube / Instagram / TikTok

We can work with your own footage so that you leave with a finished video at the end of the sessions.

Extra information

A laptop computer is recommended (Mac or Windows).
DaVinci Resolve (free version is sufficient) must be installed before the course.
If you have already filmed any footage, bring it along: we can put together your own project.

Location

Online from France

About Me

I am a director, art director, and editor active in video production. My daily work involves editing videos for clients, creative projects, and content for social media and cinema.

I teach video editing because many people get stuck in front of DaVinci Resolve: they open the software, they watch tutorials... and yet they still don't know what to do with their footage. My goal is simple: to make you independent.

During the sessions, we work practically. No unnecessary theory: you'll be editing a real video. I'll show you how to organize your files, choose the right shots, create rhythm, use music, correct color, and export properly.

I adapt entirely to your objective:
– YouTube videos
– short films
– Instagram/TikTok content
– personal videos (travels, memories, events)

I also work with people who have never ridden a horse in their lives. The only thing needed is a desire to learn.

I am a social media content creator.

I edit my photos myself, and I also create my videos from A to Z.

Here is what I can bring you:
- Learn how to frame your photos and modify them, for example with Lightroom.
- I work with an iPhone, but if you have an Android, I will see with you how to use it best.
- Teach video creation and editing with CapCut:
- Advice on equipment, even on a limited budget.
- Tips for getting started on social networks (I'm more specialized on Instagram).

Short story :
I have been present on Instagram as a content creator since 2021. However, I took it more seriously from June 2023. At that point, I started posting five times a week (instead of four to five times a month) and making videos (previously, I was more focused on photos). By June, my videos reached 2,000 views, and around 300 people viewed my stories. Today, some of my videos exceed 10,000 views, and some have even exceeded 100,000 views, not to mention the more than 1,000 people who view my stories.
