Video Editing Course for Beginners

Learn video editing and production in this video editing course with our video courses in Sydney.

Edit videos with the software the big studios use without the big-studio price tag. DaVinci Resolve 20 powers commercials, music videos, documentaries and features across the globe. It’s free, runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and it’s far easier to learn than its reputation suggests.

In this practical course you’ll go from blank timeline to polished export, using the real workflows editors rely on every day. We’ll cover clean editing fundamentals, on-screen titles, sound balancing, and cinematic colour, then package your work for YouTube/Vimeo or client review. Along the way you’ll pick up time-saving habits that translate to any project.
