The course focused on the basics of DaVinci Resolve, covering video editing principles, storytelling, and key tools like AI-driven auto-captions and asset sourcing.As the students progressed, we worked on three real client projects, giving them practical experience in editing and working within professional constraints. This hands-on approach helped students apply their new skills in real-world scenarios.In the final stages, I introduced advanced topics such as sound design (Fairlight page), visual effects (Fusion page), and color grading (Color page) in DaVinci Resolve.
