What is even crazier is that Blackmagic allows users of the non-studio (a.k.a.


With the ability to export DRT files, we now have a much simpler way to send sequences back and forth.Īdditionally, Blackmagic has added bin-locking and timeline-disabling to appeal to my inner assistant editor. However, one of the glaring holes has been collaboration, whether it is networked or via email. Many Resolve users previously edited on Avid Media Composer and Resolve is a great blend of FCP X, Premiere Pro and Media Composer. Blackmagic has always been good at listening to its users, and this is a great example of that. With the Resolve 17 update, you can now export a “DRT” file, which stands for DaVinci Resolve Timeline. In previous versions of Resolve, in order to share projects (not via collaboration mode), you would have to export the entire project, the other person would have to re-import the project and enable Dynamic Project Sharing, then open both projects, copy and paste what you want to share and then hope it works. Sharing of Timelines (Not Entire Projects!) In theory, you could have three vectorscopes with shadows, mid-tones and highlights isolated. Think of using a vectorscope it typically shows and overall saturation range, but if you want to isolate the saturation range of shadows or highlights you couldn’t before today’s update. Resolve 17 has added the ability to create 3×3 scope layouts and allows the user to open separate scope windows with different tonal and zoom ranges. If you don’t use scopes when color grading, you should. The wheels include exposure and saturation control for each zone. With HDR gaining a lot of steam lately, finishing editors and colorists need more tools that allow them to worry about the creative and less about the technical.

And if you are a Cut Page user, you even got a new hardware panel. There are a lot of updates inside of this free update for current Resolve Studio users - from the Fairlight tab to the Color Correction tab. On Monday, via livestream, Blackmagic founder Grant Petty announced DaVinci Resolve 17. With both NAB and IBC taking place online this year, Blackmagic Design had the opportunity to reveal product updates in their own timeframe.
