Who is Cenk KAPTAN
Certified Davinci Resolve Trainer
Producer, Director, 3D Artist, Director of Photography, Video Editor, Colorist
I was born in Istanbul in 1980. I have been learning, producing, teaching since then. Since 2003, I have been continuing to produce within the body of VCS Film and Music Production, which I founded: Films, documentaries, animations, commercials, promotional films. Since 2022, I have been working as a
Certified Davinci Resolve Expert and Trainer at Mediacast Türkiye.
Every stage of a film production is very valuable and special.
I enjoy each one individually.
However, I am a post-production guy.
For me, the film ends in post.
A Sumerian tablet inscription:
“If you know, why don’t you teach?”
…or
as Grant “The Grand” Petty, founder of Blackmagic Design, put it:
“If you learn something new every day, you’re smarter tomorrow.
If you don’t learn, you’re just older.”
In short, I define myself as a maker, entrepreneur and educator.

GO ON YOUR MAGICAL JOURNEY IN THE WORLD OF POST-PRODUCTION WITH THE COMFORT OF DAVINCI RESOLVE
Whether you are a film student, an industry professional or just interested in filmmaking as a hobby…
Thanks to Davinci Resolve’s technological infrastructure that goes beyond your dreams, its user-friendly interface and “Neural Engine” based artificial intelligence features, working on the same timeline with all disciplines of post-production is now very fast and comfortable.
Content of the training:
First of all, we will learn how to prepare a project library for both beginners and industry professionals who are switching to Davinci Resolve. Then, we will get to know the interface and system preferences.
In the continuation of the training, we will learn the MEDIA, CUT, EDIT, FUSION, COLOR, FAIRLIGHT and DELIVERY pages that form the backbone of Davinci Resolve in full detail.
The Video Editing discipline is divided into two pages: CUT and EDIT. EDIT is the traditional layer-based non-linear editing page. CUT is a page that is unique to Davinci Resolve and approaches video editing from an innovative perspective, where you can work at lightning speed with Davinci Resolve Speed Editor, Editor Keyboard and Replay Editor. We will examine both the traditional and AI-based features of both pages such as “Audio Classification and Transcription, Super Scale, Speedwarp, Analyzing clip for people”.
We will learn the interface of Davinci Resolve’s Node-based FUSION page, where you can prepare all 2D – 3D visual effects that go beyond your dreams. We will see how to use beginner and advanced VFX tools such as mask, keying, 2D – 3D tracking, rotoscope and 3D scene compositing and rendering.
…and the heart of Davinci Resolve. The color page.
The clear #1 color correction and grading company worldwide since 1984.
We will experience and learn all the color tools from Color Management to Color Space Transform, from primary grading to cinematic look design, from tracking to Magic Mask, from Relight to Depth Map, HDR grading and LUT design.
Since the early 1970s, Fairlight has revolutionized digital audio processing and is a perfect cinema DAW with full professional tools. We will examine and learn many details about sound, from sound effect design to ADR recordings, from VST and MIDI usage to Dolby Atmos cinema mixing.
P.S. You do not need to pay an additional license fee for Dolby Atmos mixing.
