What are the differences between DaVinci Resolve and DaVinci Resolve Studio?

DaVinci Resolve is a free version of the DaVinci Resolve Studio software.

The free version of DaVinci Resolve has the same high-quality processing as DaVinci Resolve Studio and can handle media files of any resolution. It restricts project mastering and output to Ultra HD or lesser resolutions. DaVinci Resolve only supports a single processing GPU on Windows and Linux, whereas the most recent Mac Pro supports two GPUs.

Please upgrade to DaVinci Resolve Studio if you require features such as 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, remote rendering, an external database server, and collaboration tools that allow multiple users to work on the same project.

On our website's support page, you may find a list that compares the features of the free and Studio releases.
