My first webinar on DaVinci Resolve went really well - several hundred people attended the session, which tells me there's interest in doing more. Which I will. This first session, though, looked at an easy way to begin learning Resolve: the Cut page. This is an entire editing workflow from import to export that's designed for high-speed editing for projects with short deadlines. If you've been curious about Resolve, this webinar is a great place to start.
Even better, it's now available at 50% off!
Our webinars continue NEXT week with a session on the DaVinci Resolve Color page. My goal is to show how to move projects out of Premiere and Final Cut into Resolve for color grading, then back into Premiere or FCP. Along the way, we'll explore some of the key color grading tools in Resolve. Think of this as an overview of the entire color grading process.
My first Resolve written tutorial is a detailed look at editing using the Cut page. There are tools and features here that don't exist in Premiere or Final Cut. I'm not saying you should replace the software you are using now, but it is always good to know more than one way to accomplish a task.
I also have two excerpts from the
Resolve webinar, the first covers
adding and modifying transitions and the second looks at
multicam editing. The Cut page isn't really a multicam editor, but it is excellent if you shot an interview with two cameras and need to quickly cut between them. You'll find the links below.
Apple changed the rules in how to connect 3rd-party storage. Why? Because they wanted to improve security. But, this also made it harder for us to add RAIDs, SSDs and another storage gear. I reached out to the folks at OWC for clarification on all the new storage security that Apple has added to both Big Sur and Monterey. They provided an excellent overview of the changes and what they mean.
The holidays are upon us. There's still work to be done, of course, but most of us are keeping at least one eye on the calendar. It's a nice feeling thinking about time off - even if you don't have any idea what to do with it once it arrives. (Well, at least, I don't.) I've found it is easier to think about doing nothing than to actually do nothing. Sigh...
I hope you have an easier time finding things to do with your free time. Until next Monday, stay healthy, stay hopeful and edit well.
