In this first lesson, you'll use the edit page to create a rough cut of a 1-minute social media promo for Organ Mountain Outfitters. Later lessons will cover refining the edit, mixing audio, adding titles and graphics, and exporting the video for platforms like YouTube and Vimeo. Get ready as the opening titles roll!

In the previous lesson, you created a rough cut for Organ Mountain Outfitters' promo video. While the rough cut covers 80% of the edit, fine-tuning each shot, mixing audio, and adding graphics make up the remaining 20%—often requiring 80% of the time. The real polish begins now!

Refining audio can take as much time as editing video. In this lesson, you'll learn techniques to efficiently mix audio to the right levels. The most critical audio element is spoken word—whether it's an interview, voiceover, or dialogue. Clear, audible speech keeps your audience engaged.

Color correction is a powerful creative tool that shapes the style and mood of your film. Mastering it takes practice, but the results are worth it! In the next three lessons, you'll explore key tools like the primary corrector, secondary adjustments, nodes, and DaVinci Resolve FX. These are the same tools Hollywood colorists use for blockbuster films, TV shows, and commercials—giving you a solid foundation in this essential skill.

Primary adjustments work on the entire image, whereas secondary adjustments let you isolate and work on specific parts of an image.

For example, you might want to change the color of a car from blue to red without affecting the rest of the shot, add warmth and saturation to an actor’s skin, or lower the shine on someone’s forehead. DaVinci Resolve features many powerful tools to make these adjustments.

After completing your corrections, you can enhance your grade with specific looks or effects. This lesson covers applying effects, identifying ungraded clips, copying and saving grades, matching clips, using LUTs, and previewing them to aid creative decisions.

In this lesson, you'll explore DaVinci Resolve's Project Settings to set up projects correctly. You'll also learn to use metadata for efficient footage sorting and customize preferences and keyboard shortcuts to suit your workflow.

In this lesson, you'll discover how the Fairlight page enhances your audio work, offering more detailed control than the edit page and simplifying the process of syncing sound effects to onscreen action.

In this lesson, you'll learn about Fusion through a motion graphics exercise, focusing on nodes and animation basics. You'll then apply these skills to a feature film project, integrating a screen into a shot. This will involve matching perspective, reflections, depth of field, noise, color consistency, and other key visual effects compositing elements.

This lesson explores key pre-delivery tasks for your project. You'll learn about incorporating subtitles, adjusting your timeline's aspect ratio, and leveraging the deliver page's versatile features to prepare your final output files.
