BMD Resolve 12 Update Extends Editing Tools
Posted on Nov 12, 2015 by Alex Fice
Blackmagic Design today announced the immediate availability of DaVinci Resolve 12.1 which adds features such as remote rendering, 10-bit viewers, new editing and colour correction tools.
DaVinci Resolve 12.1 lets editors select clips when using the blade tool, extend freeze frames, use faders on generators and titles, perform negative timecode offsets, filter clips more efficiently, media manage groups of selected timeline clips, sort bins and footage more easily and create better filters for smart bins. Customers also get improved subclip support with Final Cut Pro 7 XMLs and improved audio rendering of audio transitions.
For colourists, DaVinci Resolve 12.1 adds the ability to colour correct nested timelines and to decompose compound nodes along with new manual keyframe options for Power Windows, support for 3D stereo decision lists version 0.25, filtering of keyframed clips, the option to copy flags and markers when performing ColorTrace and more.
In addition, the free DaVinci Resolve 12.1 update adds support for native display profiles on Mac OS X El Capitan, along with the option to enable 10-bit precision in the on screen viewers. That means customers using the new iMac with Retina P3 Display will be able to see more colour, detail and dynamic range than ever before.
