NOTES:
It is strongly encouraged that you have TWO monitors, this way as I teach the course you can follow along with me on one monitor and repeat the same actions on the other. 

The entire course is 10 months long (January through May, then August to December). 

This course is for beginners but it is preferable that you have some experience using Davinci Resolve.
