What You'll Learn
DaVinci Resolve is the only post production solution that brings editing, color correction, audio post and visual effects together in the same software application! The most exciting thing about DaVinci Resolve is the revolutionary new cut page, which is designed specifically for editors that need to work quickly and on tight deadlines. It’s an alternate edit page with a streamlined interface and new tools designed to help you work faster than ever before.
DaVinci Resolve also includes even more advanced color correction, powerful new editing options on the traditional edit page, vastly improved Fairlight digital audio tools and even faster 2D and 3D visual effects compositing on the Fusion page. DaVinci Resolve enables you to switch between creative tasks without having to export or translate files between different applications!
Best of all, DaVinci Resolve is free! Plus, the free version of DaVinci Resolve has more features than any paid editing system. That’s because at Blackmagic Design we believe everybody should have the tools to create professional, Hollywood caliber content without having to spend thousands of dollars.
