Intro to Video Editing

August 12 - 20, 2023

1 PM - 3PM EST

Join us for a 4-part workshop in DaVinci Resolve as we explore video editing as a powerful tool to convey emotions, stories, and ideas. Topics include video editing terminology, workflow, theory and techniques, sound mixing, colour correction, and delivery. In each session, we’ll apply both theory and practice to examine the artistic and technical considerations involved in an edit.

This in-person workshop encourages a collaborative learning environment, allowing you to connect with other participants, exchange ideas, and receive personalized feedback from the instructor. No prior experience is required; this workshop is suitable for beginners and those with limited video editing knowledge. We hope that by the end of this workshop, you’ll have the essential tools, techniques, and workflows necessary to bring your video projects to life.

Participants will need access to:

(Optional) Personal laptop with DaVinci Resolve 18 (download here)

Any additional materials will be sent in advance via email

Please Note: Desktop computers will be provided for participants to use but you may bring your own laptop and receive a discounted workshop rate if you prefer. Workshop time will not permit the instructor to troubleshoot hardware or software issues on your laptop.

About DARC's Workshops

Digital Arts Resource Centre (DARC) provides training in a varied range of disciplines related to filmmaking and media art while making a dedicated effort to create a pathway to an intersectional education. We aspire to be a platform for creative support and community building through active participation and exchange of knowledge. Our workshops and courses explore the ways in which technical and conceptual frameworks can be used as tools to improve your creative practice. DARC’s educational offerings are open to members and the general public engaged in the creation of non-commercial, independent productions and work.

Workshop Pricing

DARC’s single-session online workshops are offered on a sliding scale, meaning individuals determine their own fee based on what they can afford.

We understand that everyone’s situation is different. When registering for workshops, we ask that you honestly examine your privilege (i.e. education, generational wealth, parental or community support, partnership status, and other circumstances that may provide a safety net when financial setbacks occur).

DARC also offers a no cost ticket option if access to funds is a barrier to participation. For more information please email us.

Who Is Eligible to Register for Workshops?

Workshops are open to Digital Arts Resource Centre members and the general public engaged in the creation of non-commercial, independent productions and work (Non-commercial, independent productions are productions for which the director retains copyright and artistic control, and for which the production is neither being produced for a client nor for the purpose of advertising or promotion).

Who Is Ineligible for Workshops?

Digital Arts Resource centre does not offer our workshops to persons employed by any government body or any major corporation if the resources are being used to facilitate benefit for one’s employer or for corporate professional development within one of these kinds of organizations. Our workshops are heavily subsidized as they are available only for independent artists/learners who cannot typically afford to take corporate rate workshops. You can find non-subsidized workshops from our friends at SPAO or Henry’s.

Cancellation

DARC is unable to provide course attendee refunds for cancellations. DARC reserves the right to cancel or reschedule courses if necessary.
