DaVinci Resolve Training Miami | 1-on-1 with Yan Shvalb

Q: Which version of Resolve do you teach?

Whatever version you are working in, Studio or free. The session runs inside your own project so it matches your setup.

Q: I'm self-taught. Is this too advanced?

The session is built around what you bring. If you are past beginner tutorials and have real work in progress, there is plenty to dig into.

What we work on.

You bring the project. These are the areas people usually come in with.

Edit

Timeline and edit page

Project and timeline settings, proxies and optimized media, relinking, multicam, timeline organization, and the round-trip habits that stop breaking your conform.

Color

Color grading

Node structure that stays readable, primaries before secondaries, scopes, shot matching across a scene, skin tones, and color management that doesn't fight you.

Fusion

Fusion inside Resolve

Tracking, keying, cleanup, masks, and getting a comp back into the timeline without render or performance surprises.

Deliver

Workflow & delivery

Media management, cache and performance troubleshooting, export settings, and delivering what a client or platform actually asked for.

Bring the thing
that's broken.

Most people arrive with one specific problem: a grade that won't match, a render that looks wrong, a project that's slow, a reel that isn't landing work. That's the best possible starting point — we work on it live rather than talking about it in the abstract.

Who books this

Editors moving to Resolve from Premiere or Avid
Self-taught colorists who want their node graph checked
Filmmakers finishing their own work
Freelancers in Miami and South Florida who want to sit in the same room

you're stuck on.

Short note, personal reply. If a session doesn't make sense for your problem, he'll say so.

Questions.

Do I need to be in Miami?

No. Sessions run online worldwide over a video call with screen sharing. In-person sessions are possible in South Florida — say so in your message and Yan will confirm by reply.
