6 Official Resources for Learning Video Production From Scratch

From editing software tutorials to camera gear guides and channel strategy, six official resources worth working through in order.

Making video isn't a single skill — it runs from planning and shooting through editing, color grading, and upload strategy. Watching scattered tip videos makes it easy to lose the thread. This list gathers official learning resources across editing software, camera gear, and channel management, organized by stage.

Start by narrowing this list down to whatever editing software and gear you actually use. Pricing, software versions, and platform policies here reflect what was current as of August 2026 and can change, so it's worth double-checking the official page before you start learning.

YouTube Creators

YouTube's own channel for creators, focused less on shooting or editing technique and more on running a channel: policy changes, algorithm behavior, monetization requirements. It's the first place to check when platform rules shift, and it offers staged guidance depending on where your channel is at.

Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Training

A free official curriculum covering cut editing, color grading, and audio mixing step by step. Screens can differ between software versions, so it's worth confirming your installed version matches what the training material shows before you start.

Adobe Premiere Pro Learn

An official tutorial hub that walks through a realistic editing workflow: cuts, captions, audio, and export. As subscription software, Premiere Pro updates frequently, so if a tutorial screen doesn't match what you see, cross-check the current help documentation.

Final Cut Pro Training Resources

Apple's own learning material for Mac-based editing, alongside pointers to certified third-party courses. Not relevant if you're on Windows, but a good first stop if you're planning to edit on a Mac.

DJI Tutorials

DJI's official channel for setting up and using gimbals, mics, drones, and action cams. Firmware and controls vary by model, so search for your exact device name rather than relying on a general tutorial.

Think Media

An overseas creator-education channel covering camera setup, lighting, audio, and channel strategy broadly. It's English-language content, so captions help, and gear pricing or platform policy may not map directly onto the Korean market — treat it as a technique reference rather than a policy source.

Frequently asked questions

Which editing software should I learn first?

DaVinci Resolve is a solid free starting point; Premiere Pro makes sense if you're comfortable with subscription software. Final Cut Pro is worth considering if you're on a Mac — pick based on your setup.

Where do I find tutorials for my camera gear?

If you're using DJI equipment, search DJI Tutorials for your exact model name. Firmware updates can change the controls, so check for the most recent video available.

Do techniques from overseas channels apply directly in Korea?

Shooting and editing technique mostly translates across markets, but platform policy, gear pricing, and monetization rules can differ by country. Treat channels like Think Media as a technique reference, and double-check policy details against Korean official channels.
