Cinematic Videos Are Built Backwards (DaVinci Resolve)

Описание: Cinematic videos aren’t made with LUTs or flashy effects — they’re built in layers. In this DaVinci Resolve tutorial, I’ll show you a 3-step cinematic editing workflow: (1) audio foundation, (2) movement + pacing + transitions, and (3) style: color grading, textures, and sound design. You’ll see real examples (peaceful mountain sequence, a DC “American spirit” story, and a talking-head YouTube intro) so you can apply the process to any project.

This video is sponsored by MotionVFX. I use mMovement to add subtle cinematic camera moves and speed up my edits, and m16mm to get an authentic vintage film look fast (plus titles for finishing touches).
