Consider Time in Pixels’s False Color Plug-in for use in DaVinci ResolveĬinematographer/photographer Tomasz Huczek makes what is, to my knowledge, the only false colour plug-in for any editing or colour grading platform. I have not had the time to try DaVinci Resolve 14 out yet so the best thing I can do is link below to an overview of some of its most exciting new features and improvements, written by colourist Joey D’Anna for colour grading website and online training providers Mixing Light. The one thing that DaVinci Resolve 14 in all its versions is currently missing is motion graphics and VFX capabilities, but your needs may be taken care of with Blackmagic Design’s Fusion 8 or Fusion 8 Studio software. Blackmagic Design may make radical changes to each version’s feature set by the time the release versions appear some months hence. Given that DaVinci Resolve Studio 14’s price has dropped to less than a third of version 12.5’s, comparing it to the combined price of another brand non-linear editing software plus third party colour grading plug-ins plus an audio editing suite, whether paid-for on a monthly subscription or once-off basis, DaVinci Resolve Studio 14’s once-only USD299.00 is starting to look like a bargain.ĭon’t forget that we are only seeing the first beta version. I am informed that HEVC decoding and High 10 Profile H.264 decoding are required to work with some types of footage from Panasonic’s Lumix DC-GH5 camera. Screenshot from the Compare page, still missing from the linked pages line-up at Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve 14 webpages. If you are a proud new owner of a Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5 camera and will be working in 10-bit 4:2:2 high bitrate modes, or DCI 4K rather than UHD 4K, shoot video in 6K Photo mode using H.265 HEVC (though Divergent Media’s EditReady transcoder can help there), will be recording to HDR or value Camera LUTs in colour grading nodes, then you will need to consider purchasing a Studio license. If you don’t then choose the appropriate free version of DaVinci Resolve.įor the most part each version has feature parity with the exception of the more sophisticated creative and production tools and effects. If you have a dongle for a previous version of DaVinci Resolve Studio than you can download the version 14 beta. That is your decision but it is made easier by looking at the features for each of the current five different versions of DaVinci Resolve 14 in the Compare page. Best of all, DaVinci Resolve 14 Studio does not require a connection to the internet or a cloud subscription to work. The $299 DaVinci Resolve 14 Studio version adds the new collaborative multi user tools, over 20 new Resolve FX including the advanced face enhancement tools, 4K and 120fps project support, stereoscopic 3D, optical quality blur and mist effects, film grain, de-noise tools and much more. The free version of DaVinci Resolve is also available with the same powerful new editing and audio post production features. Blackmagic Design Press DaVinci Resolve 14 Imagesįrom the Blackmagic Design press release for DaVinci Resolve 14 public beta: Strip it, build a Linux workstation into the case and run DaVinci Resolve 14 in it along with other open source production software. Looks like I will have a good use for the Mac Pro tower sitting next to my workstation when it finally gives up the ghost. The latter option is particularly exciting, as Blackmagic Design’s press release says, “Customers running Red Hat or CentOS Linux can even build their own workstations using low cost motherboards, extremely fast processors, massive amounts of RAM and up to 8 GPUs for incredible real time performance.” The first beta of DaVinci Resolve 14 and DaVinci Resolve Studio 14 is now available to download in your choice of three computer platforms, macOS, Windows and two flavours of Linux, Red Hat and CentOS. Signs were Blackmagic was up to something radical when it bought pioneering computer musical and video instruments maker Fairlight and the fruits of that move are now here in Resolve 14’s Fairlight audio page. But what other words best describe Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve 14 in its free and paid-for Studio versions? The Fairlight audio page of Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve 14 non-linear editing, colour grading and audio production software suite. The words “gamechanging” and “revolutionary” are well overused in the realm of digital media production and writers are always warned to avoid them.
