Blackmagic Design Hints at a Upgrade Fee for Da Vinci Resolve

Posted: April 27, 2025 in Colour Correction, Editing, post-production, Technology

As a long time user of DaVinci Resolve Studio, I value this NLE highly in both my professional work as well as an academic when instructing my students.

Recently with the release of the new public beta version of DaVinci Resolve 20, and its huge amount of new features, their announcement video claimed about a possible upgrade fee in the future. Resolve is loved by users for both its intuitive use as well as its non-subscription, and thus this announcement created a worry that this non-subscription platform was coming to an end. However Darren Mostyn, who i highly recommend editors and colourists follow his YouTube account (click his name to go to that account), managed to speak to a representative from BMD Europe and get a full definition of what this upgrade fee will actually be. Check out the video below:
