My needs have changed in that I now need the power, speed, versatility and other features that the Studio version offers to better accomplish what my clients and students desire. As I mentioned earlier, I too started with the free version and have been happy with it. When I first began teaching DaVinci Resolve to my freshman class, everyone downloaded the free version for that specific reason-the cost. SUMMARYĭaVinci Resolve Studio might not be for everyone.

Additional offerings include the DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard, designed for professional editors who need to work faster and turn around work quickly and the external Blackmagic eGPU to aid with a faster workflow. OPTIONAL FEATURESīlackmagic Design also offers three different control panels: the DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel, DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel and the DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel, all designed to give customers fluid, hands-on control over multiple parameters at the same time, so they can work faster and be more creative. When working with Arriflex cameras, Arri.look files allow you to achieve their distinctive “look” via templates. Under the Color tab in the menu, the Studio Version offers Dolby Vision in addition to the HDR10+ I had mentioned earlier. Under the Effects Library, more options are available like OpenFX, which has six effects under ResolveFX Blur 11 effects under ResolveFX color and numerous others under ResolveFX Generate, light, refine, reveal, sharpen, stylize, texture, transform and warp. Fairlight is included in the free version, but the Studio version has many more sound effects and tools.

Therefore, the Studio version is more efficient and offers better playback than the free version in his testing.Īvailable only on the Studio version is the DaVinci Neural Engine, which adds artificial intelligence (AI), object removal (self-explanatory), Auto Color Balance and Matching (also self-explanatory, but if you color grade, it will save you mountains of time), facial recognition software and the ability to upscale your footage up to four times its present size without losing any quality. I watched an online tutorial that proves the Studio version is 15 seconds faster (for his short video test) in rendering time and it utilizes 30% rather than 60% of its CPU. I enjoy editing as much as anyone, but faster means less time waiting. With the Studio version you have access to GPU hardware accelerated encoding on certain H.264 and H.265 codecs (which is much faster than the free version’s CPU encoding). While both the free and the Studio versions will use a GPU for processing, the Studio version will recognize up to nine GPUs, scaling with you as your needs grow. The time saved through faster processing and the extra features will allow you to create the finest possible product in the shortest amount of time.īlackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve Studio 16 - $295 (MSRP)

Besides the extra features in ResolveFX effects, export options and sound effects, the DaVinci Neural Engine is by far the strongest reason to upgrade to the lifetime option of DaVinci Resolve Studio.
