Introduction

Hi I am Chris. I am  an editor and a Da Vinci Resolve master trainer. Today I am  going to look at some of the editing functionality  that you can access in Da Vinci Resolve. We have been sent some footage to put together, a short trailer for a documentary film by the filmmaker Brian Tawiligar.

And so to do that /we are  going to start by creating a new project. So here I am in the project manager and just click on the new project button to create that and give this project a name Age Of Airplanes Trailer.

Choose to create /and Da Vinci Resolve opens directly in the cut page. Now the best place for me to do importing an organization/ is actually in the media page.

So I am  just going to right click here inside/ and choose Add New Location.

I am  going to navigate to the location/ where my footage is. In this case/ it is actually in my documents folder.

Go to the editing folder/ and then choose open. And that creates a new storage location for me to access here. Now the video and the audio clips that have been sent to me are actually in separate folders.
