1. Download It (The Real Deal)
Hit up Blackmagic Design’s site and download the FREE version of DaVinci Resolve. No trials. No BS. Just pure editing power.

2. Learn the Layout ?
You’ll see tabs like Media, Cut, Edit, Fusion, Color, Fairlight, Deliver.

  • Cut = Quick edits

  • Edit = Full timeline control

  • Fusion = Visual effects (if you wanna get fancy)

  • Color = Next-level grading

  • Fairlight = Audio editing

  • Deliver = Export your masterpiece

For beginners? Stick to Edit, Color, and Deliver.

3. Import Your Clips ?
Drag your clips into the Media Pool. Drop 'em on the timeline. Slice, trim, move. Boom—you’re editing.

4. Add Transitions, Titles & Effects ?
Click Effects Library → grab transitions, text, and more. Drop 'em where you want ‘em. Want cinematic vibes? Mess with LUTs in the Color tab.

5. Export Like a Boss ?
Head to the Deliver tab. Choose YouTube, 1080p or 4K, pick your location, and render that bad boy out.


Final Gem ?: Don’t overthink. You don’t need to master every tab. Just learn the basics and build from there.
