Video Series: Davinci Resolve to Avid Media Composer Dailies Workflow

I posted this 7-part video series on YouTube last year, mainly because I had worked through the whole process myself, cobbled together from other videos and tutorials, and was amazed that a single explanatory series didn’t seem to exist online. I figured it might be of use to some people.

Well, turns out it’s been useful to A LOT of people! Like, thousands. Which is pretty cool. 

Maybe it’ll be useful for you too!
