So Blackmagic just released the Beta for Resolve 18 yesterday. There are some nice new features, some are more quality of life, but also some exciting new tools to play with.
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/What are you most excited about? For us, we are looking forward to the cloud collaboration and the new additions to Color, Fusion, and Fairlight.
And if you were ever curious to try it out, now is a great time! Remember, you can get it FREE!
I tend to agree with Kyler Boudreau. What BM has done in the last couple of years is amazing and they keep on doing it.
I remember my experience when we decided to get the Pocket 4K when it came out and decided to start using Davinci also. It was a complete new thing but when I discovered what can be done with it, I just couldn't stop using it.
And they've up the features consistently the whole time without taking away any of the great stuff already done.
This is just Davinci let alone all the other great camera stuff that they've got.
I eagerly waiting for a full release since we have projects and I'm not sure I'd want to risk with a beta version, but I can't wait to try out some of the new stuff.
Kyler Boudreau same here. No tools except Pinnacle Studio and an SD DV consumer camera. It sucked!
Really grateful for what they have done, but at the same time I'm actually a little afraid of what continuous invasion in the spirit of never ending profits could do to them.
They've done a bunch of great stuff but the key here is to streamline what they have and innovate as needed. Otherwise they could spiral down a slippery slope them having to innovate more and more and forgetting what they have already created, alienating their existing customers.
I personally hope that doesn't happen but the danger is there, even though their CEO strives to help filmmakers.
