DaVinci Resolve 17 is a professional video editing system that comes with a well-known learning curve and demanding hardware requirements. For first-time or casual users, learning DaVinci Resolve 17 can be quite a challenge.

Getting Started with DaVinci Resolve 17 covers everything you need to know to create professional-looking videos from start to finish using DaVinci Resolve.

Whether you are new to DaVinci Resolve or have been using it for a while, this book will make editing easier and faster and your results more professional.

The book takes you step by step from importing media, to editing video and audio, adding transitions and effects, to uploading your finished video to social media channels or server. And once you have the basics firmly under your belt, the book will show you how to use sophisticated visual effects such as green screen, object tracking and removal, grading, and dozens of other video production essentials. The book includes chapters on basic video and audio production that will make creating your projects faster and easier and your results more professional-even if you've never shot and edited a video before. Plus, there are chapters that cover each of the DaVinci Resolve 17 functional areas (Media, Cut, Edit, Color, Fusion, Fairlight, and Deliver).

Learning any professional video post-production system is no picnic. To unlock the power of DaVinci Resolve as well as your own talents, you need a guidebook. Getting Started with DaVinci Resolve 17 is an indispensable resource for beginners just starting out, casual users who want to take it to the next level, as well as for professionals switching from Adobe Premier or Final Cut.
