DaVinci Resolve Class for Premiere Pro users
If you are transitioning to DaVinci Resolve from Premiere Pro, this training class will be helpful as you migrate from the timeline in After Effects to nodes. While working with nodes can be as easy as editing video clips on a timeline, it is a unique paradigm that can take some explaining and learning, which is provided as part of this DaVinci Resolve course. You'll learn DaVinci Resolve from an experienced Premiere Pro user who can help you to ease the transition.
