It’s no secret that I work with the Resolve design team at DaVinci, and also write the User Manual. If you hate reading, this is the next best thing to all the chapters I’m about to recommend in the updated user manual. (update) If you like video tutorials, Ripple Training has just released my “What’s New in DaVinci Resolve 12” title, in which over the course of five hours I provide an in-depth look at nearly every new feature found in DaVinci Resolve 12. After months of development, the DaVinci Resolve 12 public beta is upon us, with dozens upon dozens of new features to use and explore, encompassing both the evolution of Resolve into a fully satisfying creative editing solution, as well as an extension of Resolve’s already powerful grading tools with fantastic new features and numerous workflow enhancements to make grading and finishing faster and smoother then ever. The lesson files are available for download at this link.The beta edition of the Resolve 12 User Manual is included with the installation in the DaVinci Resolve application folder Not only is Blackmagic providing the free guide, there's also a certification program complete with video tutorials.
