![]() Some pages are fluidly interoperable (like edit and Color) and others aren’t. In effect, you have separate tools, tied to a common media engine, which operate under the umbrella of a single application. The interface character and toolset tied to each of these tasks is preserved using a page-style, modal user interface. The intent is to encompass an end-to-end workflow that integrates the specialized tasks of editing, color grading, visual effects, and post production sound all within a single application. Blackmagic Design built upon the core of DaVinci Resolve to develop an all-in-one, post production solution. ![]() The application is an amalgam of the intellectual property and assets acquired by Blackmagic Design over several years from three different companies: DaVinci Systems, eyeon (Fusion), and Fairlight Instruments. If you are new to DaVinci Resolve, then here’s a quick recap. The App Store versions will run on any Mac tied to your Apple ID. The Blackmagic website installations may be activated on up to two computers at the same time using a software activation code. Due to App Store policies and sandboxing, there are also some differences between the Blackmagic and App Store installations. The free version of Resolve is missing only a few of the advanced features available in Resolve Studio. They can be downloaded/bought either from the Blackmagic Design website (Windows, Mac, Linux) or through the Apple Mac App Store (macOS only – Intel and M1). These are free updates to existing customers. ![]() It was recently released and I’ve been using it ever since for a range of color correction jobs.ĭaVinci Resolve 18 is available in two versions: Resolve (free) or Resolve Studio (paid). Since its announcement earlier this year, DaVinci Resolve fans and pros alike have been eagerly awaiting Resolve 18 to get out of public beta. Many have considered a switch to Resolve. So yea, to me testing betas and providing feedback is an important part of ensuring the next version of the software that you use meets or exceeds your expectations and its awesome that DR is one of the few companies who are so receptive to feedback.DaVinci Resolve has been admired by users of other editing applications, because of the pace of Blackmagic Design’s development team. In DR17 (the released version), I was the first one to find and prove it had a nasty bug where it's GPU memory space was not being properly allocated causing LR, PS, and other GPU accelerated applications to become unstable and DR to crash if they were opened at the same time. I'm running DR18 Beta 2 now, and haven't had a single crash since upgrading from 17. The way I see it is we all benefit with each improvement of the product, it would be nice though if they would send me a free speed editor for all of the work I've done typing up my findings. ![]() I have worked with them on crash logs, repro steps, use cases, regression testing, etc. I have been deep dive testing their betas since DR15 and have direct contact info for their development team's project manager so I'm a little more vested in the success of DR than most. I also sometimes manage to sneak in feature requests that they incorporate into the beta.nothing big but for me its still nice to see something I requested added to the product. In fact, I would take their beta software any day over a released version of PP. During betas they are a lot more receptive and make many changes on the fly based on user feedback, not to mention their betas are typically a lot more stable than most vendors. I don't usually use beta software but DR for me is different, mainly because you get a direct line to the developers especially if you bought the Studio edition. The challenge is not to overuse it as the results are too dramatic when initially applied. The Dehaze tool built into DaVinci is extremely powerful and will help almost any video taken on dull overcast days and on overly bright days. Inputs are set to DJI Gamut and Gamma, outputs to rec.709. On my DJI drones, the Color Space Transform tool is doing a good job of moving DLOG toward a well saturated image without the overdone greens. This gives me a fairly neutral image without the odd red and purple tones that appear when color correcting the footage using my usual methods. no need to upgrade yet for the casual user.įor my EVO 2 Pro LOG, I have been having good luck eliminating the magenta shift by using a splitter combiner node and auto color correcting the red, blue and green channels independantly before making further adjustments. DaVinci 17 is still far more stable and has just about all the tools I need. Its working well with a few quirks and crashes. I have the DaVinci Resolve Studio 18 beta installed.
