So with NAB happening this week, Blackmagic are due to announce the new version of their flagship software, DaVinci Resolve 16.

Blackmagic Design has published a new banner on their website promoting DaVinci Resolve 16 with the tag line ‘The revolution in editing starts at 9AM PDT on April 8th 2019.’ DaVinci Resolve 15 was first released in 2018 which integrated Fusion compositing right into the app. It is currently at version 15.3.

It will be interesting in what BM is going to give editors and colourists in this version but the banner above is an interesting choice. Eagle eyed film editors have noted that a number of the film posters dictated were actually cut using Avid Media Composer. One hopes that BM are using the posters to signify what their software will be capable of and not a false adverting mistake.

Either way, as a certified DaVinci Resolve Editor and lectuer I do like the workflow process this software creates and I hope to convince others at the Life Long Learning Festival of DaVinci’s capabilities on Tuesday Morning at LIT. Click on Picture below for more details.
