Blackmagic Design has just announced the latest update of their Non Linear Editing software, DaVinci Resolve 20. Their focus this time seems to be the editors and creators of Hollywood and pushing their NLE as the best choice for the demands of the content creation.
“DaVinci Resolve is the world’s only solution that combines editing, color correction, visual effects, motion graphics and audio post production all in one software tool! Its elegant, modern interface is fast to learn and easy for new users, yet powerful for professionals. DaVinci Resolve lets you work faster and at a higher quality because you don’t have to learn multiple apps or switch software for different tasks. That means you can work with camera original quality images throughout the entire process. It’s like having your own post production studio in a single app! Best of all, by learning DaVinci Resolve, you’re learning how to use the exact same tools used by Hollywood professionals!”
The upgrade software is available for both the free and studio (paid) versions from their website HERE
There is a recommendation that if you are willing to upgrade now, that you make sure you backup your databases, outputting and keyboard settings as well as any additional LUTs you may have installed.
My advise too would be not to upgrade if you have projects still in post… finish and deliver and wait for a break in your editing schedule before updating any NLE software. This will reduce any possible issues and incompatibilities for your workflows on a project.
