Step-by-Step Guide
Before you start editing, careful preparation is essential. You will receive various clips and need to arrange them in a meaningful order. Note that the clips are named in a way that the order is not immediately recognizable, which helps you sharpen your creative instinct.
Once you have downloaded the clips, open DaVinci Resolve. After launching the program, select a new project to import your clips. This is the first step on your journey to creating your own video.
Now you can import the clips. Click on "Import" in the media section. Make sure to select all the clips you want to edit. A structured video can only be created through the correct selection and arrangement of the clips. You may want to review the clips first to get a better feel for the content.
After importing all the clips, drag them into the timeline. A timeline helps you position the clips at the right places in the video. Experiment with the arrangement to enhance the tension and flow of the video.
Another important step is cutting the clips. Think about which parts of the clips you want to use for the final product. You have the option to creatively combine or omit different parts to achieve the desired effect.
While working on your project, it is important to be creative. Use the program to its full potential and don’t limit yourself. Consider which techniques and styles best fit your theme. Don't be shy to experiment with effects or transitions to make your video more interesting.

When you are done editing, it is advisable to preview your video. Pay attention to the transitions and overall impression. Consider if there are any areas you would like to improve or adjust before finalizing your video.
Don't forget to share your result! If you would like feedback from others, send your finished work to me, and I will give you my opinion on it. It's a great opportunity to learn from others and further develop your skills.
Have fun editing and look forward to applying what you've learned! Take the time you need and don't jump directly to the solutions before you have created your version.
