Learning
Start with set and production roles, build camera and data skills, or learn post-production in DaVinci Resolve Free. Register and sign in to complete each self-paced course in the private e-learning portal.
How it works
Courses are short enough to finish around real work, but detailed enough to help you arrive with better questions and safer habits.
Register, confirm your email and sign in to the private e-learning portal.
Work through plain-language lessons, useful checklists, readable transcripts and an assessment at your own pace.
Complete the lessons and assessment to receive a private course completion record. You decide whether to share it with authorised reviewers of your private crew application or managed-roster record.
In-person course dates
EC Film Resource runs selected in-person course dates during the year. Registered e-learning portal members may attend at no additional attendance fee. Dates are announced once confirmed, advance registration is required, and places are limited by venue capacity. Creating an account does not reserve a place.
Confirmed dates and registration details will be announced in the e-learning portal.
