POST-PRODUCTION SOFTWARE
PRO POST FOR THE PEOPLE – DAVINCI RESOLVE 16 Blackmagic Design brings a professional-grade post-production suite of applications to everyone’s desktop with the free offering of DaVinci Resolve 16. In addition to modules for video and audio editing and colour correction, the company has added the FX application Fusion. Major feature films have been posted in DaVinci Resolve for some time, and Blackmagic has made that power available to anybody. The application’s capabilities rival Adobe’s Premiere Pro and Apple’s Final Cut Pro, but at the unbeatable price of no price at all, which is the ideal cost for a home videographer looking to upgrade. DaVinci Resolve runs on MacOS, Windows and Linux. NEWMOBILE EDITOR – ADOBE PREMIERE RUSH Adobe has released a mobile version of its editing software with Adobe Premiere Rush for social media content creators. Video can be shot with the software’s built-in camera – and then cut and colour corrected.

Starting with a 24TB node, which is scalable to 360TB, the EFS 200 is an affordable and flexible option for creators shooting gigabyte upon gigabyte of video. As creators expand from one-person bands to multi-person crews, EditShare allows project collaboration, managerial applications for administrators, and automated tasks for asset backup.
MOBILE-BASED POST – KINEMASTER Kinemaster is another mobile-based, high-powered post-production app for YouTubers. The iOS or Android app can work with multiple layers of video and audio for editing, animation, effects, chromakey, and audio editing and mixing. A free version of the app offers basic functionality, though a watermark is attached to each video. The watermark can be removed and full access to premium content, such as additional effects and transitions, can be purchased with a monthly or annual subscription.
