Today we announced DaVinci Resolve 18.6.3 update which adds support to sync media from network folders for cloud projects. This means the project owner can now sync between their Blackmagic Cloud Store and any network attached storage drive or folder, allowing cloud workflows on high end projects that use large amounts of shared storage. There is also a new option to prevent sleep mode while uploading files or generating proxies so these functions can continue uninterrupted regardless of your computer’s settings.

DaVinci Resolve 18.6.3 update also adds support for a new dialog menu that appears when importing projects to a cloud project library. This means that you will be prompted to configure project settings such as media and proxy storage location at the start of your import, making sure your project is correctly structured from the beginning.

When it comes to delivering your project, you now have the option to select proxy media rather than camera originals for web presets, saving you unnecessary processing and speeding up your delivery workflow. There is also added support for decoding 4:2:2 HEIF and HIF clips, allowing you to use much higher quality footage shot on smartphones.

This software update also adds a number of stability improvements, including improved popup window management and control for Macs running Sonoma 14.1, better transition deletion when working with clips that have in and out ranges applied and improved speed performance when ripple editing large timelines. There is also better handling of saturation for HDR images when using custom curve soft clip and for DaVinci Resolve Studio, improved audio syncing when bouncing audio with voice isolation.

Time to update Resolve!

Today we released DaVinci Resolve 18.6.1 which includes a number of improvements for Blackmagic Cloud workflow, including making proxies the default setting for single and multi user projects and improved cloud media syncing for projects updated from DaVinci Resolve 18.5.

In addition, this update includes fixing delays when carrying out ripple edits or deletions on more complex timelines. This update also improves the playback function when performing edits or moving clips, allowing you to quickly edit your footage while playback continues uninterrupted.

For audio, there are improvements when working with multichannel audio, allowing you to drag stereo or 5.1 tracks from the media page file browser into your project and have them correctly display as multichannel clips. For Fusion, this update improves stability when using 3D text, meaning you can more reliably composite your titles and animations.

When working with multiple timelines, DaVinci Resolve will now accurately display the one currently in use, giving you greater certainty that you are working on the most up to date timeline.

Today we released Blackmagic Camera 1.1 which adds support for recording 23.98, 29.97 and 59.94 fps when recording on your iPhone 14 or later, meaning you can now shoot footage to match a wider range of project frame rates.

This update also includes support for external timecode sync using Te****le Sync E giving you frame accurate recording across multiple iPhone cameras, making it easier to edit multicam footage in post production. There is also additional support for Tilta Nucleus Nano and Nucleus M lens control, providing hands free control for zoom and focus when your physical camera is not within reach.

In addition, you can now lock the camera orientation in the Blackmagic Camera settings, allowing you to maintain the vertical or horizontal aspect regardless of camera movement. This is particularly helpful when recording directly to external USB-C storage on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max and the camera is on a boom or jib.

iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max also support recording in Apple Log to help capture the full dynamic range of your scene so images graded in DaVinci Resolve can use that detail to create rich and vibrant colors, deep blacks and crisp highlights.

Blackmagic Camera 1.1 update is available now as a free download from the Apple App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/blackmagic-camera/id6449580241

Sound Design: The Unspoken Hero of Film

Did you know that sound design is just as important as cinematography or editing when it comes to telling a story in film? In fact, some people even consider it to be the "unspoken hero" of film.

That's because sound design can do so much more than just provide background noise. It can help to create an atmosphere, set the mood, and even enhance the emotional impact of a scene.

For example, in the movie "Jaws," the sound of the shark's heartbeat is used to create a sense of suspense and dread. And in the movie "The Silence of the Lambs," the sound of silence is used to create a sense of tension and unease.

If you're interested in learning more about sound design, We highly recommend checking out the blog article "Sound Design: How Sound Helps Tell Your Visual Stories" from Videomaker.

Every scene in a film has carefully crafted sound design to represent what is going on. They represent the scene’s location and the actions of the

Selective color correction is a great way to highlight important details, create a mood, or fix color casts in your video footage. With selective color correction, you can adjust the color of specific objects or areas in your footage, without affecting the rest of the image. This can be used to create a variety of effects, such as:

- Highlighting important details
- Creating a mood or atmosphere
- Fixing color casts
- Adding visual interest

Primary color correction alters the entire image to craft a cohesive look for the finished video.

This includes improved display of large multi layer inputs and the ability to show the input names, making it easier to see and manage all of the inputs to the multimerge node. Additionally, multimerge nodes can now animate the layer state so you can turn effects on or off with keyframe control. You also have the ability to multi select and delete layers from the multimerge inspector. Universal Scene Descriptor, FBX and Alembic assets can now be relinked, replaced and revealed in the media pool and included in project archives making them easier to manage in DaVinci Resolve.
