I’ve spent the last couple of weeks on my YouTube channel trying to demystify the color page in DaVinci Resolve. Today’s video tries to do the same for the Fusion page with this introduction to Nodes.

I decided to take a bit of a deep dive into some of the new AI Audio tools in DaVinci Resolve 20 to find out if audio engineers should be afraid for their jobs. The short answer is absolutely not! Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think.

If you’ve been thinking about buying DaVinci Resolve Studio, there is a flash sale for a few hours at B&H. Get it for $175 instead of $295!!!
(You’ll have to wait for them to physically mail you the activation code rather than get it instantly)
