Questions
I'm a complete beginner. Is this for me?
If you've never opened Resolve, start with a free introduction first and come back when you know the basics. If you know the basics but feel lost, this is for you.
I'm already working professionally. Will this be too basic?
No. The diagnostic skips what you already know. Many experienced editors join for colour or to tidy up their workflow.
Do I need DaVinci Resolve Studio?
No. The free version is enough for nearly everything. When a tool needs Studio, I'll tell you and show you an alternative.
Do I need Log footage or a cinema camera?
No. Phone footage, standard camera profiles and mixed sources are all taught here.
What if I don't have footage?
I'll give you practice material that suits your goals.
How do time zones work?
I'm based in Doha (GMT+3). Sessions run between 15:00 and 23:00 Doha time, which covers evenings in Europe, India and the Gulf, and mornings in the Americas. My booking page shows times in your local zone.
Are sessions recorded?
Yes, with your consent. You get a private link for personal review. Recordings are deleted after 90 days.
Can I reschedule?
Yes, with at least 24 hours' notice. Later cancellations and missed sessions count as used, with one exception per package.
How do I pay?
I share payment details after our free call. Payment is made in full before your diagnostic session.
What if it's not working for me?
You get a full refund if you stop before Session 1, less the diagnostic fee. If you stop after Session 1 and before Session 3, I refund the sessions you haven't used. There are no refunds after Session 3.
Can I upgrade from Consultation or Core?
Yes. What you've already paid counts towards the upgrade if you upgrade within 30 days.
Do you guarantee results?
No one can honestly guarantee that. I can promise focused attention, an honest assessment and a clear plan. What you get out of it also depends on how much you practise.
