![]() ![]() Not only is the interface that of a respected DAW, but it is also possible to expand your system with Fairlight’s audio acceleration card, as well as add a Fairlight mixing desk. The engineers completely swapped out the audio guts of Resolve and replaced it with the Fairlight audio engine. The Fairlight mixing page isn’t just a mimic of the Fairlight interface. Color switches to the familiar tools and nodes of DaVinci color correction. The Edit page sports a standard source/record/bin/track layout similar to Media Composer, Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro 7. With each page/mode change, the user interface is reconfigured to best suit the task at hand. The workflow follows a logical, left-to-right path through these five stages of post-production. In the case of Resolve, Blackmagic Design has taken a modal approach by splitting the interface into five pages: Media (ingest/import), Edit, Color, Fairlight (audio mixing), and Deliver (export/output). But is that enough to sway loyal Final Cut Pro X, Premiere Pro, or Media Composer editors to switch? There’s certainly interest, as Stephen Mirrione pointed out in my recent Suburbicon interview, so I wouldn’t be surprised to hear news of a TV show or small feature film being edited with Resolve in the coming year.Ĭreating a single application that’s good at many different tasks can be daunting and more often than not has been unsuccessful. Regardless of the version, Resolve is a very deep application that’s been battle-tested through years of high-pressure, enterprise-grade deployment. ![]() ![]() The primary limitations are that exports are capped at UltraHD (3840×2160), and that features such as stereo3D, lens distortion correction, noise reduction, and collaboration require Resolve Studio. Resolve offers the majority of the same features as Resolve Studio. These versions are basically the same as those on Blackmagic Design’s website, but with some differences, due to the requirement that App Store software be sandboxed. Mac users also have the option to download Resolve (free) or purchase Resolve Studio through the Apple Mac App Store. It’s the only NLE to support three operating systems: macOS, Windows, and Linux. (*This review was originally written right after the release of Resolve 14 in late 2017.)ĭaVinci Resolve 14 comes in two flavors, DaVinci Resolve 14 (free) and DaVinci Resolve Studio ($299). Right at the start, let me paraphrase the judges on History Channel’s Forged in Fire series – ‘This NLE can cut!’ If you have no prior allegiances to other editing platforms, then using Resolve as your NLE of choice is a no-brainer. I’ve reviewed Resolve in the past as a grading application, but my focus here is editing. Advanced editing functions and the inclusion of the Fairlight audio engine put Resolve on track to be the industry’s latest all-in-one post-production powerhouse. ![]() With the introduction of Resolve 14*, it’s clear that Blackmagic Design has set its sights higher. You can also add text and traditional transitions to any clip.DaVinci Resolve has made its mark as one of the premier color correction applications for the film and video industries. Some other super cool effects DaVinci provides are contrast pop, lens reflection and the stylizing effect. If you have a large clip that needs to be layered with other videos, you can add smooth transition effects to eliminate jump cuts in your finished product. It’s easy to find since the effects bar is to the left of the timeline. You can use text installs and visual editing all on the cut page. Want to add captions, title cards or other pieces of text to your videos? DaVinci Resolve 18 makes it easy. Want to learn more about how AI helps Hollywood?
