Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve

The world's most powerful color corrector is now even faster!

The free DaVinci Resolve Lite includes the same high quality processing as the full DaVinci Resolve, however it limits projects to SD and HD resolutions, unlimited color correction nodes, a single processing GPU and a single RED rocket card.

 

Stereoscopic 3D features, 2K, noise reduction, power mastering, remote grading and sharing projects with an external database server are features only offered in the full DaVinci Resolve and are not included in this free DaVinci Resolve Lite edition.  

Nodes for Unlimited Creativity!

 DaVinci uses node based image processing where each node is a separate color correction, power window or effect. Nodes are similar to layers, but much more powerful because you can change the connections between the nodes. Join nodes sequentially, or in parallel to combine grades, effects, mixers, keyers, custom curves in any order for mind blowing creative styles, that are totally unhindered by technical limitations. You can reconnect nodes in any order for all types of exciting and cutting edge creative looks.

Mind Blowing Creative Options

 Every node has full YRGB processing with primary and secondary controls; lift, gamma, gain, hue, saturation, luminance, calibrated printer lights, matte defocus, image defocus, 3D object tracking, YSFX, Custom Curves, soft clip, highlight, circle, rectangle and polygon Power Windows, plus the new Power Curve windows with full bezier control and independent inside and outside softness. Only DaVinci has such a mind blowing range of creative options to explore, and of course it's all real time!

World's Greatest 3D Tracker!

DaVinci Resolve includes the world's most powerful 3D object tracker that's perfect for locking Power Windows to on screen objects. No more time wasting key frame generation! Just drop a Power Window into a shot, such as someone's face, turn on 3D tracking and press play. 3D object tracking automatically follows the objects movement, position and size, even if it's tracking someone's face and they turn their head sideways! 3D object tracking uses 1 to 99 tracking points for real time perfect tracking lock.

Innovative Stereoscopic 3D!

With the latest feature films in full stereoscopic 3D, DaVinci Resolve on Linux easily handles these new demanding workflows. With stereoscopic hardware you can grade and view two eyes at the same time, all in real time with no rendering and no proxies. Each eye can have its own or a common grade and you can change the position of each eye to change the stereoscopic effect. It's easy to group shots and grade multiple clips at the same time by selecting the clips in a group or use a quad play head to review up to four clips at one time.

Grade Raw RED Files in Realtime!

DaVinci Resolve allows full unlimited grading of raw RED files in real time so you're not limited by time consuming rendering before grading. DaVinci Resolve reads and browses files direct from your disk array, SAN or files captured from the video input. Choose from a huge range of file formats such as native DPX, CIN, QuickTime, DNxHD and native RED R3D in 4K with full de-bayer all in real time. You can even work with TIFF, JPEG, TGA and BMP and up to 16 channels of audio!

Get Your Job Done Fast!

DaVinci Resolve is designed to handle all types of source material common in busy post production facilities. Get the job done fast as you can automatically link color correction metadata to the master grade. Load an EDL for an instant conform of your timeline and you can grade multiple versions of the edit all at the same time. DaVinci Resolve lets you view the offline against the timeline to quickly see and fix any problems. EDLs are handled in A or C mode and if you don't have an EDL, then the DaVinci Automatic Scene Detector can create one for you fast!

Gallery Stills and Grades Library

DaVinci Resolve features the famous Gallery where grades and stills can be loaded and recalled instantly. That's perfect for keeping your grades consistent all the way through the job and keeping all of your grading presets in one easily accessible place. You can even pull Gallery grades and stills from other sessions! Gallery grades and stills can be saved at any time with the simple click of a button, and you can even build a custom effects library of your own!
