Discover Video Editing: A Free Workshop in the Heart of Cologne

In the Introduction to Video Editing on September 24, 2026, young people and adults will learn the fundamentals of video and audio editing. At the Interim Central Library, practical work meets creative media skills - using DaVinci Resolve as an entry-level tool.

A Compact Introduction to Cutting, Sound, and Timing

The workshop visually demonstrates how cuts work, why they shape a video, and how coherent clips are created from raw material. There will also be tips for good sound as well as initial exercises directly within the software. Those who bring their own footage can immediately apply the first steps to their own project.

Makerspace Atmosphere with a Focus on Practice

The event is part of the Makerspace program of the Cologne City Library and emphasizes experimenting rather than theoretical frustration. This is what makes the event experience so accessible: short distances, concrete applications, and a learning environment where media production comes alive. The atmosphere is likely to be particularly good for everyone who wants to create videos rather than just consume them.

Location with Good Infrastructure and Barrier-Free Access

The Interim Central Library is located at Hohe Straße 68-82 in Cologne and is reported by the City of Cologne to be fully accessible for wheelchair users. An elevator is available, and designated disabled parking spaces are provided in the adjacent underground garage. This means the workshop is also well-organized for a relaxed visit.

What Attendees Can Expect

Participation is free, but registration through the booking system is required. Those seeking a creative entry into video editing, media design, and digital production will find a practical workshop with a clear target audience and direct benefits for their own projects.

Conclusion: This introduction to video editing combines technology, creativity, and practice in the urban learning environment of the Cologne City Library. Anyone wanting to get to know DaVinci Resolve and implement their first editing ideas should secure this date and be there live.
