My guess is that it's the same algorithm. Back to the grading tools, and there are a host of additions here too, but the standout feature additions are a perspective tracker, which is as good as the tracker in Fusion. These days a multicam system is essential for any NLE, and Resolve has a fantastic system, with modes for standalone angles and a form of nested angles, allowing the user to switch between grading an angle or a scene. The edit room is a joy to work in, with smooth intuitive tools This is where the majority of changes has happened and all for the better. I think that is more about me being stuck in my ways and other users I've spoken to absolutely love it. There's also dynamic trimming which goes a step further, but I didn't get on with it so well. Moving into trim mode lets you cut, ripple, and so on, with your mouse so using both hands will see you editing very quickly. The editing process works as you would expect, and using keyboard shortcuts is the most efficient way of working. Resolve 12 has gone a very long way to becoming a one stop solution for editors and colorists, with a dedicated workspace for editing, including methods to edit using a mouse or a keyboard, which will please most potential users. Resolve has a fantastic reputation in the color correction and grading arenas, but its editing tools were the weakest point, meaning a trip to Premiere, FCP or Avid was inevitable for pretty much every project. The color tools have always been best in class but BMD have managed to improve themĭaVinci Resolve is now at version 12 and the latest update is a big one, marking out BMD's focus to move into the editing field in a more solid way. For users, they get to try out new tools and workflows before making the investment in the paid versions, which unlocks some of the higher end options. They get to open up their market to users who they might not have otherwise connected with, and that brings with it a lot of extra feedback to aid future development. Releasing software for free benefits everybody. Product: Resolve 12 Company: Blackmagic Design Website: If you read my recent review of Fusion 8, you'll know that I applaud Blackmagic Design's business method, for their software at least. Industry vet Rob Redman discovers if Blackmagic Design's free DaVinci Resolve has made the move from grading only, into a worthy editing solution with version 12.
