This introductory course is designed for new users of Resolve and covers the fundamentals of each page to get you up and running quickly. Many of our students that have never opened Resolve before have a rewarding experience achieving the certification. Blackmagic Design have created a course that is the right balance of creative and technical knowledge taught in a fun and engaging way. Having a basic understanding of software editing principles and image manipulation is a bonus but not essential for our 3 day course.

Resolve Training Testimonials

My mind is reeling over all the info and I'm just buzzing with excitement over how much more is at our fingertips, and at the end of the day a big part of that comes down to how great you were, so thank you ... you were brilliant, and I definitely hope you dig into the fun with you again some time! - Jazza, YouTuber

I got a lot out of it and I'm putting everything I learnt to good use already grading a half-hour TV show, jumping in the deep end I think is the term?I'm definitely interested in the advanced course if it happens so let me know once you guys have finalised details and I will hopefully be along for that one as well. Thanks again. - Max, Editor

A wealth of information not only on Resolve but also colour grading fundamentals plus the difference between camera's like Blackmagic Cinema. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, it answered many of the questions I've had for a very long time. - Paul, Managing Director

The content was easy to follow and understand, Brad was able to answer all questions quickly and concisely, expanding where needed. - Andrew

Trainer - Brad Crawford

Brad is a leading colourist and Blackmagic Design Certified Trainer. Brad spends his time training students at SAE Institute in Sydney in how to get the most out of DaVinci Resolve. As a Senior Lecturer for SAE's Film Department, he encounters the new crop of Undergraduate and up and coming film makers in all aspects of post production using the latest industry technology and creative media techniques.

Working as a colourist Brad has been grading footage for over 12 years in one form or another. Things were very different then, and he much prefers the software and technologies used today. After native NLE grading and a host of early plugins, his first move into a full grading application was the very slick Apple Color and it's integration with FCP Studio. Not long after Brad was one of a handful of people worldwide to become certified to teach Apple Color as an Apple Certified Trainer.

Brad moved onto DaVinci Resolve several years ago with it's extensive list of features and growing support community. It has been a fantastic injection into the high end workflows and footage utilising the latest Digital Cinema cameras and traditional film material. Brad also completed Instructor status for Adobe After Effects, Avid Media Composer and Apple Color.
