Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 17

Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 17 is a big update containing many new features as well as a brand new Speed ​​Editor panel which will be included free with the new DaVinci Resolve 17 licenses for a limited time. The Speed ​​Editor sells for $ 259. The new version is always free and the Studio version costs $ 299. I would buy a new studio 17 license and get the free Speed ​​Editor because it’s a really good deal. Never hurts to have an additional license for a second computer for just $ 40 more.
Below is the full video with all the details as well as some demos of the new features in action.

Cut

DaVinci Resolve 17 updates the Cut Page with new, smarter features designed to help you finish your projects faster. The new Metadata Slate View with Bin Dividers is a new way to quickly view, sort and find photos. Audio trimming mode displays larger waveforms for more precise trimming. Smart Crop automatically crops images so you can export projects in vertical, square, or other proportions without having to manually reposition each shot. A new icon view in the library allows you to preview effects, transitions, and titles. You can import and edit projects from the ATEM Mini Pro ISO, there’s a new Clip Inspector, quick timeline switching and more.

Metadata slate view with bin dividers makes it easy to sort and find clips based on scene, shot, camera, and more. You get cards with thumbnails and metadata, which is determined by the sort order. When used with the source tape, this is the fastest way to get in and out of scenes or groups of clips.

Now you can edit in 16: 9 HD or Ultra HD and quickly create square or vertical versions to post to Instagram and other apps. The DaVinci Neural Engine automatically identifies faces and reposition them in the new frame so you don’t have to do it manually. You can even refine the results.

While the Viewer Tool Strip is great for quick adjustments, the Inspector gives you access to virtually all audio and video settings, metadata, RAW image controls and more! You can quickly switch between groups of settings using the tabs at the top. Parameters can be animated using the diamond keyframe buttons!

Edit

New proxy workflows dramatically improve performance and make it easier to transfer projects between systems. You can now sync clips to the timeline and convert them to a multicam group, make source-side adjustments before editing a clip in a project, share individual timelines and bins, remove 3: 2 pulldown in real time, and more. . The edit page also supports masks and input for composites, motion blur on some transitions, and the ability to render heavy portions of the timeline effects in a new file. The DaVinci Neural Engine also gives you scene cut detection, deinterlacing and smart cropping.

Color

The Color Page allows you to manipulate color in creative and artistic ways that greatly affect the mood of a scene, making it an incredibly powerful part of the storytelling process. You get hundreds of art tools in an easy to learn node-based interface that makes the color experience fast and exciting! Support for a wide range of formats, including wide color gamut and HDR images, as well as 32-bit image processing from DaVinci for professional, high-quality results.

The primary color wheels allow you to adjust the balance and brightness in overlapping tonal ranges, called elevation, gamma, and gain (also called shadows, midtones, and highlights). The shift dial adjusts the entire image.

Targeted ranking with magic mask

The Magic Mask uses the DaVinci Neural Engine to automatically create masks for an entire person or specific features such as the face or arms. You get matte finesse tools, the ability to add and remove strokes, and automatic tracking.

Fairlight

New features in Fairlight include basic tools and enhancements that speed up audio post-production. A new high-performance audio engine, Fairlight Audio Core, combined with the revolutionary new FlexBus bus architecture, lets you support more than 2000 tracks. You can now reverse audio clips, analyze volume, view and cycle through transients, preview video while editing, move automation, export multichannel files, and more.

Speed ​​editor panel

The DaVinci Resolve Speed ​​Editor features a machined metal search dial in a design that includes only the specific keys needed for editing. It also has Bluetooth with an internal battery for wireless connection, or you can connect via USB-C. This means it is more portable than a full size keyboard.
