Hey folks!
I keep seeing posts asking about video editing software, and it makes me kinda sad that folks here are paying monthly subscriptions for editing software, when there are great alternatives out there that don’t require payment of a monthly tithe.
I’ve been using Davinci Resolve for several years, and I make money out of it which I guess makes me a (semi?-)professional. It’s a very powerful piece of commercial software, with a lot of features (and hence a fair amount of complexity) but Blackmagic do offer a free version, and most of the complexity isn’t really necessary for most folks who just want to cut together some drone footage.
So I’m wondering, if I were to do a live session (or sessions), completely free, where I run through some basic editing techniques using Resolve, would there be any interest? We could jump on a Google Meet, I’d give a basic explainer of how the software works, and then show a simple process I use almost every day to cut together drone footage and deliver a finished video at the end. Live session(s), nice and simple, screen-share of the editing process and interactive Q&A. Plus we’d record for those who couldn’t make it.
Reply if you’d be interested in that, if enough folks are interested I’ll set something up.
(And FWIW I’m not affiliated with Blackmagic Design in any way, I’m just a guy who knows how to use the software and would be happy to help others use it too, because I think it’s the best non-linear editor in the business
).
