Module 1:  Structuring and Editing Raw Content files in DaVinci Resolve

This module is designed to help you learn how to move your media assets, like video bumpers, to your introductory video to DaVinci Resolve’s Timeline. During this module, you will also learn how to add seamless transitions, making the flow between the university bumper video and your introduction seamless; you will also apply a fade-in and fade-out transition at the end of your introductory video. You will add text to your video and learn how to customize text titles using professional fonts that are easy to see and visually accessible to all learners. Lastly, to close the editing process, you will edit audio to ensure the final video product is polished, easy to hear, and engaging. When used effectively in DaVinci Resolve, these elements can make video content more visually dynamic and appealing for the students in your online courses.
