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

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 56.23 $ /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 teach Davinci Resolve and Premiere Pro from beginner to advanced.

In the beginner and intermediate courses, all the important basics are covered and practiced using practical applications.

The advanced courses go into finer details, such as advanced editing techniques or shed light on specific processes such as proxy workflows or colour management.

Structure:

The technical lessons are structured in 1 hour modules, using practical examples and allow time for experimentation and questions.

I also teach editing theory and creative strategies across many different genres and styles. These are less structured and are tailored to specific needs.

Open Sessions are also possible, where you may bring along a personal project and I will offer you technical assistance, feedback or tips.
