Resolve 19 public beta is now available. Make sure to backup your database before upgrading. And make sure not to upgrade yet if you are in the middle of a project.

Today we announced DaVinci Resolve 19 public beta, a major new update which adds new AI tools, over 100 feature upgrades such as IntelliTrack AI, Ultra NR noise reduction, ColorSlice six vector grading, film look creator FX and multi source editing on the cut page. For Fusion there are new USD tools and multipoly rotoscoping tools, plus Fairlight has new Fairlight AI audio panning to video, ducker track FX and ambisonic surround sound. Blackmagic Cloud has new features that make it easy to use for large companies with multiple users collaborating on the same project at the same time.

With this update, editors can work directly with transcribed audio to find speakers and edit timeline clips. Colorists can produce rich film like tones with the ColorSlice six vector palette and produce cinematic images using the new film look creator effect which emulates photometric film processes. In Fairlight, the IntelliTrack AI can be used to track motion and automatically pan audio. VFX artists in Fusion have an expanded set of USD tools plus a new multipoly rotoscoping tool which displays all of your masks in a single list. The cut page has new broadcast replay tools for live multi camera broadcast editing, playout and replay with speed control.
DaVinci Resolve 19 Public Beta will be demonstrated on the Blackmagic Design NAB 2024 booth and is available now as a free download from http://bmd.link/pUxwrb

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.

06/10/2023

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

BMD just released 18.5.1 time to update your DaVinci Resolve software!

Today we announced DaVinci Resolve 18.5.1 update which includes a number of improvements including better retention of color grades when stabilizing clips. This means your latest color grade version will be automatically applied when using image stabilization to smooth out unwanted camera motion in your footage.

DaVinci Resolve 18.5.1 also includes more consistent audio playback when adding tracks to higher bus numbers, allowing you to play back complex timelines while controlling levels on individual tracks and busses. For Studio users, this update improves playback when using voice isolation on energy efficient CPU and GPU systems, making it easier to review up to 2,000 tracks in real time.

This update also more accurately copies and pastes tracked power windows and tracking data meaning the position and aspect ratio will be correctly replicated, speeding up your workflow when tracking multiple items.

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

Final release of DaVinci Resolve 18.5 is out. It’s officially out of beta. Time to update everyone!

Today we announced that the final release of DaVinci Resolve 18.5 is now available.

DaVinci Resolve 18.5 is a massive update with new AI tools and over 100 new features which include major additions to the cut page editing toolset, text based editing, AI dialogue transcription, new Resolve FX, enhanced Fusion tools including Universal Screen Descriptor support and powerful new Fairlight audio mix automation. The Cut page features 3 new menus including tools to toggle ripple editing, resync audio and more! You can quickly generate captions for timelines with auto speech to text, or search on key words for faster editing. Resolve FX relight lets colorists add virtual lighting to a scene and VFX collaboration is now faster with support for Universal Scene Descriptor files. Plus you can group tracks in Fairlight for faster mix automation and editing.

We would like to thank all of the customers that participated in the beta program, tested the software in a variety of workflows, reported bugs and helped to make DaVinci Resolve 18.5 even more reliable.

DaVinci Resolve 18.5 update is available now as a free download from http://bmd.link/Uo4TP9

11/07/2023

Today we released public beta 5 of DaVinci Resolve 18.5 which adds further improvements to the DaVinci public beta including support for Blackmagic RAW 3.3 recordings from Panasonic Lumix GH6 cameras.

With DaVinci Wide Gamut now supported in Fusion, you get more accurate, true to life color representation when creating your visual effects and motion graphics. Plus, improvements to high and low soft controls in DaVinci Wide Gamut allow for finer adjustment and more sensitivity giving you more precise results. This update also improves Text+ element merging when using gradient fill, for a smoother and more realistic blend in the transition from one fill to another.

For audio, the audio encoder bit rate is now a per track setting, so every track gets higher quality audio rather than sharing the audio bit rate across the tracks. Also, when reviewing footage using the Fairlight Audio Accelerator, you now have better audio playback during the fast forward and rewind functions.

This update also improves the video output when running the clean feed feature on Mac OS for DaVinci Resolve Studio users. This means that you now have a full screen view of the video output without the menu bar appearing and obstructing any portion of your view.

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.
