8 NEWSFEED Updates & Upgrades
DAVINCI RESOLVE GETS MAJOR UPGRADE
Blackmagic Design has released DaVinci Resolve 15.2, a major update to its editing, colour correction, visual effects and audio post software with more than 110 new features added. In the new DaVinci Resolve, the editing timeline now draws at a higher frame rate, making the editing experience feel faster and more fluid. New animations have also been added so clips slide in and out of position, helping to quickly determine how edits affect other clips in the timeline. In addition, the new version 15.2 adds features that make editing of clips between multiple timelines easier. Timelines or compound clips can now be loaded into the source viewer and
edited into the current timeline in their decomposed state. Editors can tap the X key to instantly mark a clip in the source timeline and edit that clip directly into the active program timeline. Keyboard customisation has been completely redesigned. The new interface lets editors quickly see which keys are in use and assign shortcuts. Keyboard sets can be shared between systems and shortcuts can be assigned to different pages and user interface panels within the application. It also includes new ResolveFX plug- ins. A Blanking Fill plug-in automatically fills black letterbox or pillar box areas of the screen with defocused video, which makes it easier to use vertical video or
photos in standard widescreen timelines without having to manually create a background. A new ‘Beauty’ plug-in is designed to smooth textures and blemishes on skin and other surfaces. There are also new plug-ins for ACES transformations and limiting gamut. The upgrade also includes new FairlightFX audio plug-ins. A new Stereo Fix plug-in features presets for the common channel mapping operations, so clips can be fixed with a click. Users can fix problems such as dual-channel mono-dialogue that was edited in stereo tracks. A new Multi-Band compressor features real-time spectral analysis and four different independently adjustable frequency bands.
