The world's most powerful color corrector is now even faster!
DaVinci Resolve 9.0 features a completely redesigned user interface that's designed to be extremely fast to use and to eliminate unnecessary clicks and settings. A job can be up and running in three clicks: one to log in, one to drop media into the project and the next to grade. DaVinci Resolve 9.0 includes plenty of incredible features like a new streamlined project import, export and selection workflow.
You get scrubbable media thumbnails to speed up shot selection, production metadata fields for entering on set shot notes and larger color control palettes to give faster access to grading tools. There are also new clear graphical palettes for control of power windows, keys, sizing, tracking and stabilization, camera raw and data burn ins.
Media
Gather the media in for your projects. Easily browse local disks, SAN storage or acquisition from broadcast decks, then select and add media to your projects "media pool" where it can be used for editing and color grading.
Conform
Edit and manage clips and timelines in the conform page. Drag clips onto the timeline, trim and edit clips and add transitions. Import and export between Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer for full edit and color grading integration.
Color
The world's best color correction! The color page includes the clip viewer, gallery stills/grades and node graph of your color corrections. The timeline shows your edit and positioned below is the primary and secondary correction toolkit
Gallery
The gallery lets you store still frames and color grade information in a single easy to manage location. Store and share grades and between users and keep a library of your favorite grades for use in any project. Load grades for quick access.
Deliver
Complete your job and render out a master file, or even play out to tape! The delivery page lets you cue multiple versions of your master and then render out files for different delivery destinations such as broadcast, internet and more.
Unlimited Grades
DaVinci Resolve uses node based processing where each node can have color correction, power windows and effects. You can join unlimited nodes sequentially, or in parallel to combine grades, effects, mixers, keys and custom curves!
Powerful Primaries
Get perfect looking images with the world's most powerful primary color corrector for setting lift, gamma and gain with the control of YRGB colorspace. Primary control includes shadows, midtones and highlight log controls with offset.
Precision Secondaries
Target specific colors or areas of the image with secondary color correctors. DaVinci Resolve includes precise color qualification that lets you target colors with clean edges so no matter how complex your grade, it always blends seamlessly.
Optical Reframing
When you need to reframe a shot, it's vital that you don't lose quality. DaVinci Resolve includes optical quality sub pixel processing so when you reframe, or even zoom into a shot, quality is retained. This lets you fix shots with full quality.
Image Stabilizer and Tracker
Includes the world's most powerful 3D tracker for locking Power Windows™ to on screen objects. No more time wasting on keyframe generation! You can also image stabilize to clean up shots that would otherwise be unusable!
High Dynamic Range
DaVinci Resolve supports HDR source images with real time display, blending and grading for incredible control over your shot. DaVinci Resolve also supports the 16-bit floating point ACES colorspace so you get full quality and dynamic range.
RGB Mixing
For extreme looks and innovative creative styles, DaVinci Resolve supports RGB mixer grading to control individual red, green and blue gain for each color channel, blend and mix channels. You can even swap inputs for extreme effects!
Custom Curves
When you're after subtle control, custom curves let yout define a custom gamma curve that's applied for your corrections. This can be ganged for all channels or set per channel. Custom curves also support YSFX luminance and saturation effects.
HSL Curve Grading
Curve grading is a very popular grading method and lets you adjust colors on a curve graph with a workflow that's similar to grading with popular editing software. You can control high and low clip per node, and set high and low clip softness.
Power Windows
Invented by DaVinci, Power Windows revolutionized grading. DaVinci Resolve features unlimited windows with circle, linear, polygon and PowerCurve shapes. Windows have mask control with inside and outside grading and full multi point tracking!
Real Time Noise Reduction
When running powerful CUDA based hardware with DaVinci Resolve, you can take advantage of digital noise reduction. DNR is perfect for removing noise in digital cameras, and you can even apply noise reduction within Power Windows!
Keyframe Timeline
The built-in keyframe timeline lets you see color corrections, shot framing and transitions in a separate timeline per clip. You can adjust every grading parameter with auto key-framing and adjustable dynamics.
Color Decision Lists
DaVinci Resolve supports ASC color decision lists including full slope, offset, power and saturation metadata. All CDL events are synchronized with EDL events including additional support for stereoscopic 3D size data.
Gallery Stills and Grades
When you're grading, it's important to keep stills from earlier in the job so you can compare shots to keep your grades consistent. DaVinci Resolve's Gallery lets you quickly save and share stills and also copy color grades from your work!
Dailies and Metadata
For on set editing and grading, DaVinci Resolve includes dailies tools for syncing audio and to manage and edit metadata. The one click sync links full quality camera images with system audio for quick on set grading, preview and render.
3D and 1D LUT Support
Work with 1D and 3D LUTs simply and easily. DaVinci Resolve supports open standard .cube files and you can add LUTs for input, output and display, or even a LUT for every node! You can even create a 3D LUT from any grade with a single click!
Copy and Paste Grades
When you're working with media shot on the same location, with the same camera, then the copy and paste grade feature dramatically speeds up your work. Copy grades to any clip, or even a range of clips, and even copy camera raw metadata!
Real Time Proxies
Sometimes when you use lots of nodes on a high resolution source clip you might run out of GPU processing to play real time. No problem with DaVinci. Simply turn on real time proxies and then play, even when adding even more grades!
