The free version of DaVinci Resolve is packed with more features than most paid software applications! You can use it to edit and finish up to 60 fps in resolutions as high as Ultra HD 3840 x 2160. You get extensive color grading tools including luma, HSL and 3D keyers, color warper and HDR tools, video collage, elastic wave audio retiming and more. Plus it now also enables collaboration so multiple people can work on the same project, all at the same time! Once you’ve learned how to use DaVinci Resolve and gain more experience, you can move up to DaVinci Resolve Studio. With over 50 advanced features, Studio includes DaVinci Neural Engine, additional Resolve FX, stereoscopic 3D and more!

DaVinci Resolve Studio

DaVinci Resolve Studio supports up to 120 fps at a massive 32K resolution, as well as support for multiple GPUs for real time playback of professional 10‑bit formats, and accelerated H.264 and H.265 hardware decoding and encoding. There’s a full suite of immersive audio tools including Dolby Vision and HDR10+ grading and rendering, the DaVinci Neural Engine and 30 extra Resolve FX. You get temporal and spatial noise reduction, motion effects, lens distortion correction, de-interlacing, workflow and media asset management integration, remote scripting API, remote and networked color grading, plus rendering and encoder plug‑in support. Plus there’s full screen playback on a second monitor!

Workflow Integration Plug‑ins

DaVinci Resolve Studio supports workflow integration plug-ins for connecting to local and remote asset management, automation systems and more. Users can write their own plug-in and interact with DaVinci Resolve's JavaScript APIs.

More Resolve FX

DaVinci Resolve Studio includes over 30 additional GPU and CPU accelerated Resolve FX! These include effects for adding lens flares and reflections, analog damage, sharpening and more. There are face and beauty tools for re-touching, along with image restoration tools for dirt removal, dust busting and de-flickering. The film grain tool features customizable presets for adding photorealistic grain to match virtually any film stock! Patch replacer lets you clone and paint out spots, and the object removal plug‑in can be used to remove entire objects from a scene! Feature film quality effect plug‑ins can cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars, making DaVinci Resolve Studio incredibly affordable!

DaVinci Neural Engine

The DaVinci Neural Engine uses state of the art deep neural networks and machine learning, to power many of the features found exclusively in DaVinci Resolve Studio. This includes facial recognition for automatically organizing media into bins based on the people in a shot, super scale high quality image uprezzing so you can create 4K and 8K images from HD sources, and speed warp retiming for crystal clear, smooth speed changes. You also get incredibly high quality de-interlacing, magic mask for object isolation and tracking, smart reframe, object removal, scene cut detection and much more! The DaVinci Neural Engine provides simple tools to solve complex, repetitive and time consuming problems!

Immersive 3D Audio

Immersive audio formats use multiple channels of audio to position sound around an audience, adding a specially creative dimension to sound design. DaVinci Resolve Studio supports high resolution 3D audio for working with spatial formats all the way up to 22.2, and features import and export of the latest IAB and ADM files. Object based formats, which define a virtual soundstage on which you can actually position tracks in 3D space are also supported. You get native Dolby Atmos and MPEG‑H import and rendering as well as Auro‑3D and SMPTE ST.2098 support. There is B‑chain audio monitoring, a 3D panner and 3D Spaceview™ to visualize each sound object’s location in space.

Dolby Atmos™ Mastering

Fully integrated support for ground up creation of immersive 3D audio production, with 3D channels and buses from 5.1.2 to 9.1.6, remote RMU and DAMS and local Dolby Atmos Production Suite with AudioBridge.

Re-mixing External Productions

Dolby Atmos master production import from immersive .damf, .wav, .mxf files with support to decompose into original elements such as sources, buses and VCA groups. Export to Atmos Master ADMBWF, or IMF _AIB.

IMF Audio Deliverables

Support for adding audio to video via IMF containers with multiple simultaneous audio deliverables as IAB-MXF or .wav. Deliver selection is from timeline via a bus or track, or an existing file IAB file.

Expanded Format Support

In addition to all of the 8‑bit formats supported by the free version, DaVinci Resolve Studio lets you work with most professional formats. You also get support for advanced AVCHD, AVC-Intra and popular H.264 camera formats that use "all-I" intraframe encoding, and also 10‑bit encoding. For round trip workflows and output or delivery, DaVinci Resolve Studio adds support for IMF encoding and decoding, advanced HDR delivery in Dolby Vision and HDR10+ formats, digital cinema packages, or DCP, for theatrical distribution and more!

Dolby Vision™ Mastering

Dolby Vision support includes a GPU accelerated version of the Dolby Vision CMU, content mapping unit, and free Dolby Vision grading controls. Access to advanced trim controls require a separate Dolby license.

Native IMF Encoding and Decoding

Create SMPTE ST.2067 compliant Interoperable Master Format (IMF) files for tapeless delivery to networks and distributors using Kakadu or Easy DCP. There are presets for generic, 20th Century Fox and Netflix.

DCP Encoding and Decoding

Native support for unencrypted DCP files lets you output and import unencoded DCP files for testing and validating playback of digital cinema packages. Support for encrypted DCP requires a separate Easy DCP license.

Encoder Plug‑in Support

Add additional and optimized rendering formats with 3rd party file format packs including XDCAM, XAVC, P2 AVC Ultra, P2 AVC Intra, HEVC/H.265 Main and Main 10 profiles, and even AS-11 compliant packaging.
