DaVinci Resolve Tutorial for Beginners (2026 Update)*
DaVinci Resolve has a reputation for being intimidating, and that's because it's seriously powerful. It's the same tool used on Hollywood films, and it's completely free. The good news? You don't need to know it all to start creating great videos with it.

This DaVinci Resolve crash course is built for video editing for beginners who want a clear, step-by-step path through the essentials, without spending weeks figuring it out. We'll be using DaVinci Resolve 21 (2026 update), and we'll cover what you actually need to know to import your footage, make clean edits, add DaVinci Resolve transitions and titles, fix your audio, and export a finished video that's ready for YouTube.

You'll also get a first look at DaVinci Resolve color grading so you can see what's possible as you grow. By the end of this DaVinci Resolve editing tutorial, you'll have the confidence to open Resolve, get the job done, and never look back at your old editor.
