Switching to DaVinci Resolve? Skip the painful part.

I spent 14 years finding the fastest workflow in Resolve so you don’t have to. Edit your first full video this weekend.

Testimonial from Nicholas: This course is exactly what I needed as a wedding videographer. Your timing was perfect on the release! So far it is super easy to follow and the lessons cover every detail. I have 2 weddings that need edited and after this course, I will be creating them in DaVinci. Thank you.

Who This Course Is For

You edit corporate or commercial videos, short films, podcasts, or YouTube videos, and you want one fast workflow you can repeat every time.

Coming from Premiere, Final Cut or iMovie? You are exactly who I built this for. I show you the Resolve way of doing what you already know, so you can stop translating in your head.

Never edited anything before? Even better. You have no slow habits to unlearn, and Module 1 starts at the very beginning.

Who it is not for: anyone who wants to master every button in Resolve. I teach the 20% of the program that does 80% of the work.

"... the training helped me refine a wedding video as I transition into using Resolve more often."

Hey! I'm Matt Johnson - Filmmaker, YouTuber, and your guide to all things video editing! đź‘‹

Video editing shouldn't feel like a chore, it should feel like magic.

 

You know that rush when you finally press play on a finished video?

An idea you scripted, recorded, and brought to life... it’s one of the most satisfying feelings in the world!

But there's a problem.

After the excitement of filming fades, you’re left staring at hours of raw footage… and the realization that editing is going to eat up hours, days, maybe even weeks, of your time.

Thankfully, you have one of the most powerful video editing programs on the planet, DaVinci Resolve.

And it has all the tools you need to organize your footage, make cuts, mix audio, color grade, and add motion graphics and text.  

But this power comes at the cost of complexity. 

7 workspaces.

22 panels.

Hundreds of settings.

A node based workflow unlike anything else out there.

It’s no wonder most editors feel overwhelmed and unsure if they’re even using the fastest and easiest methods.

 I get it, I've been there.

Testimonial from Ryan: The course so far has been super helpful making sense of DaVinci Resolve. After 10 years of Premiere Pro it's like learning a new language. I can't wait to get up to speed.

After 14 years of video editing and trying every feature, shortcut, and workflow DaVinci Resolve has to offer, I've cracked the code for making editing faster, simpler, and more fun. 

And now, I want to show you how!

Whether you’ve never opened an editing program in your life, or you’ve been editing for years and want to level up, this is for you.

Over the past decade, I've helped thousands of people learn how to edit videos through in-person coaching and tutorial videos online, and now I've put everything I know into a powerful, easy to follow course.

Ready to finally edit with confidence and speed in DaVinci Resolve?

Let's make it happen!

Testimonial from Manny: I bought your Video Editing Unlocked and Video Editing Pro Lessons, in addition to your two sets of WhoisMatt LUTs. I find all your lessons very helpful in my work of doing videos for our parish events. I get a lot of compliments from them. Thank you.

"I was hesitant at first. There are so many courses out there, and it's hard to know which ones actually help. I felt comfortable buying Matt's course because of his years of experience filming weddings. I went from not knowing how to use DaVinci to editing my first wedding film, and it streamlined our workflow. Editing that used to take days now takes a few hours."
