Our take
Covering DaVinci Resolve's full professional post-production workflow page by page, this Udemy course is thorough.

Good for: Learning professional video editing in DaVinci Resolve.

Skip if: You want a different editor or only quick social clips.

It moves through editing on the Cut and Edit pages, colour grading on the Color page (Resolve's original claim to fame), and audio on Fairlight — the whole pipeline a real edit passes through, which makes it a thorough grounding for aspiring video editors rather than a quick-clips course.

The standout practical point is cost: DaVinci Resolve has a genuinely capable free version — not a crippled trial — so you can complete most of the course without spending anything, with the paid Studio version adding extras you may never need as a learner. Udemy lists a high price but it's nearly always $12–20 on sale with lifetime access — wait for the discount. The completion certificate is a learning record, nothing more (as of 2026).

Frequently asked questions

Yes, and unusually generously. The free version of DaVinci Resolve is a genuinely full-featured editing, colour, audio, and effects suite — enough for most creators and more capable than many paid editors. The paid Studio version is a one-time purchase (around 295 US dollars, no subscription) that adds AI tools, higher resolutions, and advanced effects. For learning and most projects, the free version is all you need.

The full post-production workflow inside Resolve: importing and organising footage, editing on the timeline, colour correction and grading (Resolve's signature strength), audio with the Fairlight tools, and visual effects and titles with Fusion. It aims to take you across all the main 'pages' of the software, so you finish able to take a project from raw clips through to a finished, graded, exported video.

Yes. It is built to start from the basics — the interface, importing media, first edits — before moving into colour and effects, so no prior video-editing experience is assumed. Resolve's breadth can feel daunting at first, and a structured course is exactly how beginners get past that; just expect editing, like any craft, to reward actually doing the exercises over passively watching.

It is a course completion certificate rather than an industry credential, so treat it as a marker of effort, not a qualification. In video work, what actually gets you hired or freelance clients is a reel or portfolio of edited, graded videos you can show. Use the course to genuinely build those skills and produce real pieces; the certificate is a minor extra alongside them.

It is a paid course, usually available at a low price during Udemy's frequent sales rather than at full list, with lifetime access. Given the software itself is free, the course fee is effectively the whole cost of learning this way — a modest spend for a complete grounding in a professional-grade editing and colour tool when bought on discount.
