Thank you for compiling this series of tutorial videos Maria - and I get a mention! As you know, I’m from Premiere Pro and I really like DaVinci Resolve - thanks to your clear explanations I’m getting to grips with this software and I look forward to more tutorials. One gotcha that recently got me was audio. I produced a 20 minute video - a friend listened to it on his headphones and I had made the video with audio only in the left channel! So I’m going to have to learn about dealing with audio in DaVinci.

Hi Paul, I'm very pleased to hear that you're getting to grips with DaVinci! I think it's good that you've already got your Premiere Pro background. Interesting to hear about your audio issue. Those little things are so easy to do! I also want to tackle audio in detail at some point. The noise reduction feature is great, but it needs a little practice, I think. Do keep me up-to-date on your DaVinci journey. It's great to hear about your progress from the perspective of someone who is transitioning to DaVinci. 😊

@@mariatlloyd I certainly will keep you updated as I watch your videos. 👍

Can you make a video about masking ? I mean about cutting a person or object out from a clip and adding it to a another clip. And How do I manage the colors ? I want to make it look like natural. what I mean is that Both clip have different lighting and colors.. How do I make it ? 🤔

[@mariatlloyd]

Great suggestion, again! I think the best thing to do is to do the colouring first and then mask afterwards. I'll put something together on this next for you.
