Blackmagic Design today announced that the public beta of DaVinci Resolve 12, its professional editing and color correction software, is now available for download from the Blackmagic Design website.
In addition, Blackmagic Design today announced new naming for the DaVinci Resolve product line, plus extra secret features that were not included in the original launch and are being publicly disclosed for the first time today.
The new DaVinci Resolve 12 is the software's biggest update ever and includes powerful new features, making it both the world's most powerful editing system as well as the world's most advanced color grading system. The DaVinci Resolve 12 Public Beta will allow customers to start testing and integrating it into their facilities, and will provide us with valuable feedback that will greatly assist us in finishing development so we can launch an extremely reliable and robust product.
DaVinci Resolve customers have been extremely generous with their feedback and advice in the past, and we are excited to let them get their hands dirty using this release so we can collaborate with them to make it perfect. Without the DaVinci Resolve community behind it, DaVinci Resolve 12 would not have been possible and Blackmagic Design is extremely grateful for their assistance. We hope they will be proud of the hard work the engineering teams has put into this release.
With this public beta, the DaVinci Resolve product line has also been renamed to better reflect the models of DaVinci Resolve available.
The free DaVinci Resolve Lite will now be renamed to just DaVinci Resolve. This is because there is nothing lite about the free version as it includes more features than any other product. DaVinci Resolve is a complete professional editing and color grading solution for individual editors working on SD, HD and Ultra HD projects.
The US$995 paid version of DaVinci Resolve Software has been renamed to DaVinci Resolve Studio. This will help customers understand that it includes many additional and powerful features that are needed by larger facilities. DaVinci Resolve Studio is for customers that need to build advanced editing and color correction systems with multi GPU support, DCI 4K, 3D stereoscopic tools, multi-user collaboration tools, remote rendering and much more.
We hope that once customers become established with DaVinci Resolve 12 and start generating income from their creative work, they can upgrade to the extremely powerful DaVinci Resolve Studio for $995. By upgrading, engineering for DaVinci Resolve can continue to be expanded so customers will get even more features in the future. Upgrading is the DaVinci Resolve community's way of ensuring they get the new features they need, as it pays for the engineering for DaVinci Resolve.
Blackmagic Design believes this free and paid upgrade model is vastly superior to the cloud model for distributing software products because customers get to take control of their systems.
With this free and paid upgrade model, customers never have to worry about a system going down in the middle of a job, on set or when used remotely, because a license suddenly expires. With DaVinci Resolve, there is no license to expire and, if the worst should happen, a customer can get DaVinci Resolve working on a system immediately by downloading the free version in minutes.
DaVinci Resolve 12 also includes new features that have not been previously announced until today. This includes new support for Intel Iris and Iris Pro GPUs. This is a major update that required significant engineering work to complete. Support for Intel Iris and Iris Pro GPUs dramatically improves performance on a wider range of systems, including laptops. This will greatly assist editors and colorists who are working remotely and on-set.
With the explosion of customers working with high resolution media and native RAW camera files, DaVinci Resolve 12 can now create optimized media proxies with custom settings for both the codec and resolution for even faster editorial performance.
Also, a new Smooth Cut transition uses proprietary DaVinci optical flow algorithms to create a seamless transition between different parts of an interview so you don't have to cover jump cuts with b-roll.
We've seen DaVinci Resolve 12 in action, and we can't wait to start cutting with it, said Patrick Woodard, Supervising Colorist at DigitalFilm Tree who has worked on hit shows such as NCIS:LA, UnReal, Agent X and Rush Hour. This is a professional editor that will make a big impact in Hollywood, and in our operation. Resolve 12 provides collaborative editing and color grading like we've never seen before. An editor can work with multiple colorists on the same timeline simultaneously.
Since it was announced at NAB earlier this year, the response from professional editors and colorists has been overwhelming. said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. Everyone has been asking to get it as soon as we could provide it, and now we have decided to release it as a public beta so we can get feedback from the editing and color correction communities to help us make it even better. We're very focussed on bringing innovation back into the world of professional editing and color correction, and it has been fun and exciting working on this major update. We want everybody to try it!
DaVinci Resolve 12 is the only software that lets customers edit, grade and finish projects all in a single tool. Resolve lets professional editors work in a comfortable, familiar way while also giving them an entirely new toolset, along with DaVinci's legendary image processing technology, that will help them cut and finish projects at higher quality than ever before. The familiar multi track timeline, customizable interface and keyboard shortcuts make it easy for editors to switch t
