Overview of this book

Micro content dominates social media marketing, but subpar editing and low-quality videos can shrink your audience. Elevate your social media game with DaVinci Resolve - the world’s most trusted name in color grading that has been used to grade Hollywood films, TV shows, and commercials. Version 18 enables you to edit, compose VFX, mix sound, and deliver videos for different platforms, including social media and the web. You’ll learn the basics of using DaVinci Resolve 18 to create video content, by first gaining an overview of creating a complete short video for social media distribution directly from within the “Cut” page. You’ll discover advanced editing, VFX composition, color grading, and sound editing techniques to enhance your content and fix common video content issues that occur while using consumer cameras or mobile phones. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to use DaVinci Resolve to edit, fix, finish, and publish short-form video content directly to social media sites such as YouTube, Twitter, and Vimeo.

Summary

Here is what you have achieved in Chapter 8:

  • Learned what cutaways and cut-ins are and why they are used
  • Learned what continuity editing is
  • Learned how to create a cut-in on the Edit page
  • Learned how to create a cutaway on the Edit page
  • Used a Smooth Cut transition to hide a jump cut
  • Learned what a split edit is (J and L cuts) and how to create them

Learning how to edit using B-roll and split edits gives us a greater opportunity to tell a seamless story where the viewer is more immersed in our story and not distracted by our editing techniques.

In Part 3 of the book, Advanced Techniques, we start with Chapter 9, where we will look at how to shoot for a green screen so that we can change our backgrounds for our videos in DaVinci Resolve.
