Dan May President of Blackmagic Design on New Features Coming in Resolve v10..!
DaVinci Resolve
Hollywood’s most powerful and creative color correction!
Unlimited Creativity
DaVinci Resolve uses node based image processing where each node can have color correction, power windows and effects. Nodes are similar to layers, but more powerful as you can change the connections between the nodes. Join nodes sequentially or in parallel to combine grades, effects, mixers, gaussian blurs, keys and custom curves in any order for mind blowing creativity. You can reconnect nodes in any order for all types of exciting and cutting edge creative looks.
The World Leader
DaVinci Resolve is the world’s most advanced color grading system and with DaVinci you get the system that’s used on more feature films and television programming worldwide. DaVinci Resolve is the difference that makes high-end work so breathtaking! Invented in partnership with Hollywood studios for high-end feature film work, DaVinci Resolve is also perfect for episodic television production, commercials, independent films, music videos and more!
Award Winning DaVinci Resolve Colorist Control Surface
True Real Time
Computer based solutions are normally limited to a single GPU or a single computer. DaVinci Resolve smashes this limitation because it lets you add extra GPU cards or even clusters of multiple computers for super computer power! This means you get the real time performance you need when you’re in a room full of clients. Add dozens of primaries, secondaries, power windows, multi point tracking, blurs and more. Then just hit play, it always works!
DaVinci Resolve’s Powerful Node Display
Wide Camera Support
With an incredible range of digital film cameras available, DaVinci Resolve includes more native camera file support so you can grade directly from the camera files to get the best results. Grade direct with CinemaDNG RAW files, ARRI Alexa™ RAW files, RED One™, EPIC™ and Scarlet™ R3D files with premium de-bayer including 5K, monochrome and HDRx with image blend. Also supported is Cineform™, Cineform 3D, Phantom™, GoPro™, Canon™ C300, C500 and 1D, 5D, 7D and Sony™ F65/F55/F5 RAW and XAVC and many more!
Fast Creative Features
Unique YRGB Colorspace
All image processing is at the deepest 32-bit floating point YRGB so all corrections are always operating at the highest bit depths in real time. Deeper bit depths combined with YRGB colorspace mean you get dramatically wider color correction range and can generate “looks” that simple NLE color correction cannot match. DaVinci’s YRGB processing means you can adjust the luminance gain without rebalancing the color of your whites, mids or blacks so you’re not chasing the correction you’re aiming for!
DaVinci Resolve’s powerful Curves Pallete
Optical Quality Processing
DaVinci’s high quality image processing is so revolutionary it won an EmmyTM award for contributions to the television industry! All image processing is at the deepest 32-bit floating point and the unique DaVinci correction algorithms mean you get a more optical feel to corrections. When pushing grades, whites blow out in a more subtle and delicate way without the horrible clipped look. Then, when you need to resize, reposition or zoom any shot, the full quality is retained and all in real time!
