Blackmagic Design announces DaVinci Resolve 15

LAS VEGAS – Blackmagic Design announced DaVinci Resolve 15, a massive update that fully integrates visual effects and motion graphics, making it the first solution to combine professional offline and online editing, color correction, audio post production, multi-user collaboration and now visual effects together in one software tool. 

DaVinci Resolve 15 adds an entirely new Fusion page with over 250 tools for compositing, paint, particles, animated titles and more. In addition, DaVinci Resolve 15 includes a major update to Fairlight audio, along with over 100 new features and improvements.

A public beta of DaVinci Resolve 15 is now available and for download from the Blackmagic Design website. DaVinci Resolve 15 will also be demonstrated on the Blackmagic Design NAB 2018 booth (SL 216).

DaVinci Resolve 15 combines four extremely high-end applications as different pages in one single piece of software. The edit page has all of the tools professional editors need for both offline and online editing, the color page features the world’s most advanced color correction tools, the Fairlight audio page is designed specifically for audio post production, and the new Fusion page gives visual effects and motion graphics artists everything they need to create feature film quality effects and animations. All it takes is a single click to instantly move between editing, color, effects and audio.

The DaVinci Resolve 15 collaborative workflow dramatically speeds up post production because customers no longer need to import, export or translate projects between different software applications, and work no longer needs to be conformed when changes are made. Everything is in the same software application.

The free version of DaVinci Resolve 15 can be used for professional work and has more features than virtually every other paid application for post production. DaVinci Resolve 15 Studio, which adds multi-user collaboration, 3D, VR, dozens of additional filters and effects, unlimited network rendering and other advanced features such as temporal and spatial noise reduction, is available to own for $299. There are no annual subscription fees or ongoing licensing costs. 

In addition, Blackmagic Design also introduced new Fairlight audio consoles for audio post production that will be available later this year. The new Fairlight consoles are available in two-, three- and five-bay configurations, with pricing ranging from $21,995 to $48,995.
