![]() They also have a Mac version that is available in the Apple App store for the same price. Here are a few features that you get with the Studio versions: You can find them used or free with a BMD cinema camera like the URSA Mini. When they lowered the price to $299 US the dongle was eliminated. Unfortunately Blackmagic doesn’t sell the dongle version anymore. In theory they are letting you have one copy on a laptop and a workstation and run both at the same time. This is unfortunate since a lot of software, like Adobe’s Creative Cloud products, can be used on two systems. You can’t use the software on more than one computer at the same time though. It offers the flexibility of using the software on multiple computers just by having my dongle with me. ![]() I’ve been on the lookout for a DaVinci Resolve Studio dongle for a while now. Another option that’s got trickier to track down is the dongle version of the software. The paid version offers a few more filters like lens correction for GoPro and a very good noise reduction filter plus a few more features too. This is a very good deal if you compare it to subscription based software licenses. One big one is the price has been reduced from $999 US to $299 US. Going the paid Studio route has a few more advantages than it did in the past. It was easily fixed by exiting the program and restarting it. It’s new and in beta so I didn’t expect it to work just yet but I sure can see the potential here. Once one of the eyes go off-camera though the track and keyframes go a little wacky. I found it really works well if the talent is looking directly into camera. I wanted to test out a new advanced facial enhancement feature and lets just say it’s interesting. The good news is Red Giant Magic Bullet suite works and a lot of their plugins are compatible, plus you don’t have to pay extra to use them on different host applications.Īfter I scored the review with SmartSound I was ready to do some quick color correcting. I did miss a few transition plug-ins I have on Premiere Pro like the ones from FilmImpact. Stuff like figuring out how to create a solid for a quick background required some digging. Shortcuts are essential for faster editing. It easily took me twice as long to get the edit done since I was still learning the best way to edit and trim, plus the shortcuts are different too, so I had to keep figuring them out as I went. What a relief! This project didn’t require heavy color grading and that’s why in part I decided to go ahead and use it for a full edit. I had it freeze but didn’t lose any work. The only issue I had was the next day I went back to finish up. I had a solid 10 hours editing with no crashes. With my voiceover done and the base of my review edited I was impressed with how stable it was for me. The former versions didn’t playback nearly as fluidly with codecs other than ProRes and DNx flavors. When I used my J-K-L and spacebar shortcut keys the playback was very responsive. Playback was the best I’ve ever experienced with these compressed formats. I was pleasantly surprised on how peppy the editing experience was. ![]() The footage was a mix of 10-bit, 8-bit, HD and UHD, all from the GH5. I had a review of the TRI-8 that I had not started yet so why not! Editing A Review With DaVinci Resolve 14Īfter doing some testing and finding things to be pretty stable I decided to go ahead and do a full edit and see how it goes. Plug and play. The only issue I had is you can’t set your levels yet but it works very well. I don’t have any solutions to this: I used a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with a RODE NT1-A and it didn’t require any workarounds. Some users are finding issues with USB microphones not showing up and connecting to Fairlight. It isn’t perfect but remember it’s still in beta. I used Fairlight to record my voiceover for the Aputure TRI-8 review I did. Well this is now possible with Fairlight integration. One very nice feature that DaVinci Resolve was never capable of doing was voiceovers directly to the timeline. This saves time and makes things much more simple. I like this a lot since you don’t have to leave the software and round trip to edit video, sound and color grade. With the improved speed of editing in DaVinci Resolve 14 and the integrated audio features of Fairlight, Resolve Version 14 is closer to a fully functional standalone editing platform than ever before. BMD acquired the powerful and popular Fairlight back in September 2016 and instead of making it a standalone offering they included it in DaVinci Resolve 14. At NAB 2017 Blackmagic Design introduced version 14 with a lot of new features including a big one: Fairlight integration for heavy audio editing. ![]()
