Wow! Just, wow! Last week's webinar on DaVinci Resolve set attendance records and I've received glowing compliments from dozens of viewers. Thank you! (Download the webinar here.) Based on this response, I'm creating three more Resolve webinars: Multicam editing, Fairlight audio, and Color grading. (Register free here.)


After researching my presentation, then editing the webinar in Resolve, my lead story looks at my experience with Resolve - what I learned, the bugs I found, and how it compares to Premiere and Final Cut.

Last week's webinar - Get Started with DaVinci Resolve 19 - covered the entire editing workflow from import to edit to export in 51 minutes. This session also included more than 50 keyboard shortcuts and specific demos of how stuff works. As one reader wrote: "Going through [Resolve] once with you in an hour is exactly what helped take the angst and doubt down enough to be brave and ride that unknown horse." If you are curious about Resolve, this will answer your questions. By the way, my 25% discount coupon applies to this webinar, too!

As I was demoing shape masks in Resolve, I started wondering what it would be like to compare masks and tracking between Final Cut, Premiere and Resolve. So, I did and what I discovered surprised me.

Increasingly the world is turning to video to communicate; which is especially good for us. But, the downside is that there is no standard for video distribution. Different codecs, compression settings, formats... Yup. Anarchy. That's why this guest post from Dr. Imed Bouchrika is so helpful.

There are some exciting announcements coming this week at IBC. New products are always good - they give us new tools to express our creativity. But there is one that is likely to change how we handle media. I'm under non-disclosure at the moment, but it will appear in my news feed later this week when it's announced. I'll cover it in more detail in my newsletter next week. 


Oh! We also have new gear from Apple to learn about later today. Exciting times.


In the meantime, stay healthy, stay hopeful and edit well.
