I really enjoyed the start of the course, learning about DaVinici Resolves UI as I haven't used the software before. However, the content did not progress much further, at times repeating a lot that previous lectures had already covered... and for the most part it was only about how to use the UI. There was a little bit more on color correction/grading. The effects weren't even mentioned let alone how to use them. I was hoping this would change in the bonus material where more in depth lectures would be included but it just happened to be over 3 hours on completely different software- that's around 20% of the course. The about section in this course is not accurate- "Master the UI..." would be more appropriate.

Good course. It was very helpful in learning the basics of DaVinci Resolve. Kashif did a good job going through everything, but I found the course to be a little less organized than Phil's Premiere Pro course and this course didn't go quite as deep into some capabilities. Overall, it's a very good course for learning the basics of Resolve

You are duped into thinking the course is taught by someone with decent accent but I purchased this course in bulk, that is while buying other courses alongside and while checking out other courses thirty days trial of this course ran out.Seriously this teachers are fraud I find learning in Indian accent very repulsive and this guy somehow has even worse accent and english grammer and sentence formation and I am Indian too somehow his sentence formation is that terrible .

I was struggling so much to understand how to edit. Finally, this course has given me confidence to not only edit, but enjoy the experience! Highly recommend this course. ;)

this course can add more info about transitions like videos on youtube, I suggest identical changes to Adobe. I know they are different programs but I want to know how to make videos with memes and funny sounds

Very detailed! Good approach. Easy to understand. It shows you exactly where your at. I can't wait until they do a DaVinci Resolve 18.5

The course is good but it will only tell a dry theory about the tools and the davinci interface. It could be improved a little by adding composition or color correction tips during the course. In general, the course is worth the money, but don't expect anything more from it .

It was a very detailed explanation of everything. I found out that I am not a total beginner anymore so for me it was a bit of overkill, so I skipped around. But I think it is great for beginners! Would recommend.

it's a very detailed course on video editing on platform da Vinci resolve, it gives a clear idea about how to potentially use the software

There are a few steps that I didn't get an explanation on how to carry them out. It did not show or explain how to select multiple clips at the same time for rearranging.

This course is making DaVinci easy to understand...the DaVinci books were not as clear, especially with really getting me comfortable with the different controls and panels.

The first 6 sections of the training material is great, very easy to understand. There are some logical gaps sometime, but that is easy to follow up. I share the concern of the previous reviewers, that after the 6 section, the material repeats itself and it does that in an older version DR 15, that is about 5 years old. And even though there are bits and pieces, that were not mentioned in the first 6 chapters, it is repetitive and not up-to-date. The current version is 18, and so calling the course Davinci Resolve 2023 is misleading and a big stretch. Good thing my company is covering the cost and it is not my personal loss. But all in all I liked the first 6 chapters.

I highly enjoyed this course on DaVinci Resolve. I am a very new user when it comes to this app and I was looking for a good course that would enable me to gain a basic understanding of color correction and editing. This course exceeded my expectations. When I finished the course, I had a basic understanding of how to use this app for my video editing needs.

So far so good, I was downloading the latest update of De Vinci whilst watching so it glitched occasionally but the content seems good and easy to understand

I'm literally working through the first day of class. It's obviously an inappropriate time to ask me this question.
