I'm helping my girlfriend produce videos, usually for social media and such. In the process I'm learning a ton about my camera, lighting and also software. Currently using DaVinci resolve which is amazing and free.
I think as in other things, just trying a project and learning as you go is the quickest way to get started.
Ah yes, played around with DaVinci resolve a while ago as well. Guess I have to work through a few more tutorials. I sill don't get the lut concept and find it much fast to just upload them on my phone and run the video through Vsco.
