DaVinci Resolve features a dedicated Fairlight audio page built right in! This official Blackmagic Design hands-on training guide will teach you the art of sound editing, sweetening, recording, mixing, and delivering.

The Fusion page in DaVinci Resolve features hundreds of advanced tools for compositing, animating titles and 2D graphics, generating particle systems and 3D effects for use in feature films, music videos, commercials, and much more. This official hands-on training guide teaches you how to create visual effects and motion graphics directly inside DaVinci Resolve, without importing or exporting large media files between applications. You’ll learn how its node-based interface makes it easy to quickly build sophisticated effects and quickly make changes.

In this watch and learn workshop you’ll explore the powerful Flex Bus bussing architecture for mixing, output and delivery. Additionally, you’ll learn dozens of Fairlight tips and tricks for managing high track counts, building templates, creating and sharing presets and more. • Flex Bus vs Fixed Bus • Creating and assigning busses • Working with submix busses • Using multiple output busses • Using an Aux bus for shared effects processing • Splitting output buses for different deliverable requirements • Monitoring busses • Automating bus tracks • Bouncing busses • Creating busses for Dolby Atmos mixing • Managing high track counts • Assigning track groups • Working with track groups • Exploring the Presets Library • Customizing and exporting presets • Saving and restoring a mix • Misc. tips and tricks along the way

The Editor’s Guide to DaVinci Resolve is tailored to the art and craft of video editing. The hands-on lessons demonstrate how to cut interviews, dramatic scenes, documentary material, and music videos in both the edit page and the cut page, as well as how to use the new Speed Editor. Specific lessons also show you how to build eye-catching effects using the new 3D Keyer and Video Collage effects, and how to mix audio and deliver your final film for online distribution, broadcast TV, or streaming services.
