The free DaVinci Resolve 18 includes the same high-quality processing as DaVinci Resolve Studio 18 and is capable of handling media files with an unlimited resolution. It restricts project mastering and output to Ultra HD or lower resolutions. DaVinci Resolve 18 only supports a single processing GPU on Windows and Linux, whereas the most recent Mac Pro supports two GPUs.
Upgrade to DaVinci Resolve Studio 18 if you require support for multiple GPUs, 4K output, motion blur effects, temporal and spatial noise reduction, de-interlacing, HDR tools, camera tracker, multiple Resolve FX, 3D stereoscopic tools, and remote rendering.
We hope you decide to upgrade as your facility expands and your work becomes more complex.
"This is a major release that totally revolutionizes remote project collaboration using cloud based workflows, " said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO. "With Blackmagic Cloud, customers can collaborate on the same timeline anywhere in the world. Imagine editing in Tokyo, while a colorist is grading in LA on the same timeline, at exactly the same time! The new DaVinci proxy workflow makes working with proxy files or camera originals seamless, relinking in just one click. I think it will be exciting to try out the new cloud collaboration workflow and I can’t wait to see how our customers collaborate with each other around the world."
