The Definitive Guide to DaVinci Resolve 15: Editing, Color, Audio, and Effects (The Blackmagic Design Learning Series)

I use Davinci resolve for over a year now and learnt everything from YT tutorials. This book however has a lot of very useful tips which I have not seen anywhere on YT. Because of that my work became more fluent and much faster.You'll get some video clips to work with which you need to download from web given and then use with lesson in the book. Must have for everyone who want to work with Davinci Resolve. Highly recommended.

This is a hard one to review because while the content is really excellent for those new to Resolve (better than Adobe's comparable Classroom In A Book series for their Premiere Pro software) a newer version of the software became available within weeks of me purchasing this title (and the other four in the series which dive deeper into specific parts) making it obsolete almost immediately.I bought this book wanting to learn Resolve with a view to abandoning its expensive competitor Adobe Premiere Pro which is only available on an expensive "rental" model. Resolve is completely free so the cost of the book gives you an extremely powerful editor AND training for a very good price.Alas, it turns out that you can't use a full screen second monitor with this software unless you buy Black Magic hardware - a seemingly deliberate choice by Resolve's writers which should have been mentioned upfront, but isn't mentioned at all. That suddenly makes what seemed very reasonably priced software and book combination a lot more expensive if you have a second monitor you wanted to use to view your footage full screen whilst editing. Bear that in mind, before deciding to splurge on this offering.There is also an online training version of this book where a very good instructor gives you his take on the same content over on MZed (the video instructor education site), so if you prefer to be shown stuff rather than read, at least for this volume in the series, that might be a better choice and you don't need to buy this book with that course since the PDF version is included in that book (the course was released after I'd bought this book. Doh!)

Good information, and well planned and laid out, which is wasted on the shoddy printing for the price.

Learning. Could be clearer in places, written by experts but tricky to understand in places. Gets fivecstars because of tge SUPERB online support.

Fantastic book recommend it
