My personal take: This is positively mind-blowing, and a feature that could very well change the face of media production forever, especially given the fact that Resolve is already so well used throughout the industry and at large – now anyone, and anywhere can collaborate in real-time on the same project fluidly and have their project backups in the cloud as well. In the past the methods for sharing projects and working on shared projects generally required users to be in the same local network, but now with the Cloud Collaboration feature you can conceivably be working alongside your team members on the same project, at the very same time, anywhere in the world (providing you have access to the same source media). Cloud CollaborationĬollaboration has been an ever-increasing focus for the team at Blackmagic for quite a few official builds now, but here in Resolve 18, it seems the team is finally delivering the goods. Detailed Review of DaVinci Resolve 18īelow, we’ll take a closer look at the newest features in DaVinci Resolve.


I’ve worked and delivered for some of the world’s biggest brands and have always been able to leave them thrilled and delighted with the results thanks in large part to the quality and image control that Davinci Resolve delivers through their software year after year. My name is James, I’ve been working with and through Davinci Resolve ever since the build version 9, and I have been color grading and color correcting ever since for a wide variety of content, whether for theatrical, broadcast, commercial, or documentary mediums, in all manner of forms and formats, from the standard delivery, all the way to 8k and beyond. Pros: Professional, best-in-class Color Grading and Color Correction tools/interface, easy editing, VFX Integration (via Fusion), Stellar Color Management, Dolby Vision/Atmos SupportĬons: Can be a steep learning curve for newcomers, editing can feel a bit odd coming from Premiere Pro, a lot of customization that can be potentially dizzying for first-time users With the integration of Fusion and an expanded focus on editing (both audio and video), Davinci Resolve is jockeying to become the premiere go-to software for industry professionals.Īnd while the past saw Resolve being rather closed and rigid, both in interface design and file database management/project exchange, the latest iterations of Resolve have a decidedly and markedly different approach through integration with the cloud, with Blackmagic even rolling out iPad support for Resolve this month, which itself could represent a watershed moment in expanded user access and usage for the industry-grade software. In the past, it was exclusively for color correction and color grading, but over the successive builds and the past ten years, the software has grown considerably in its feature-set, and capabilities. Davinci Resolve is an all-in-one NLE suite that can take you from ingest to final output.
