Blackmagic Davinci Resolve 15 Released - Free D/L Avail

[THE INTRANCER]

The excitement in the wake of cheap and free daws hasn't finished... in fact this one is sort of an all round jack of all trades...that one of the highlights is the integration of the amazing visual effects application... Fusion.. and new Fairlight tools for audio production.

Is there a standard at all for plugin effects for video editors?
Like Vst is for daws.

Or is Premiere having theirs, DaVinci Resolve theirs etc?

Any 3rd party plugins for Resolve?

Using PowerDirector they have at least adapted a range of vendors for effects that are shipped with it, and that you can purchase and extend with.

If to even test another editor you kind of want to know if you paint yourself into a corner.

Thanks for heads up though, on Resolve.

Just great. More crap freeware flooding the marketplace. Obviously this fly by night, soon to be out of business joke of a company is in its death throws and has resorted to the lowest desperation tactic, give it away for free. I've spent absolutely no time researching this and have tried very hard not to think while posting this. I can now say with total confidence, there is simply no other explanation and my singular view on this is the only one that is valid. It just makes total sense now that I am able to not think about it. /S

I don't know about other video applications but Divinci Resolve loads VST plug-ins for audio. It actually works very well. I have been using it for a while now for video productions. I can import my audio as stems and do audio and video editing in once place.

Looks great to me. A friend who uses Vegas Pro told me he uses Resolve for colour correction. Thanks for the heads-up

It's not free. Free means giving nothing whatsoever in exchange.
You pay for this with your name, address, phone number, email address and a quick quiz.
Yeah, I know us lot will enter fake details, but the more naive among us will enter their actual details.

Thank you, that's cool too.

Something worth mentioning is that when you start dragging effects onto the audio material, that the Inspector Tab will list and show a range of sliders that have been allocated to the parameters of the plugin. Across from the name of the plugin, in the Inspector you'll see an icon for a trash-can and a series of arrowed lines next to it on the right. This arrowed icon will show and hide the actual plugin interface.

You can view the list of loaded plugins from the main menu, Davinci Resolve / Preferences, to check what plugin's have been scanned and if they have successfully loaded. If a plugin has failed, you will be able to disable it should it not load the next time. Rescanning your plugins of those you have reselected will follow on from the point of any plugin scan that failed previously.

Using PowerDirector they have at least adapted a range of vendors for effects that are shipped with it, and that you can purchase and extend with.

If to even test another editor you kind of want to know if you paint yourself into a corner.

I don't know about a standard, but I'm going to be checking this out tonight... I have a few (video) plugins purchased through FxFactory that work in Premier and FCPX, and it would seem that there's support for Resolve for OpenFX tools.

I did get as far as installing this to see if the "free" version had VST/AU support and I can at least verify VST support. Per the same FxFactory page it seems AU support is there too.

This seems like a damn good giveaway, but again I haven't gone as far as working a project up to see if there are issues with workflow or errors or shortfalls comparatively speaking. I am very curious to get this working just because everything is in one place and that's nice.

Vegas and Resolve uses openfx, it seems to be an API like vst, but not as widely used. It seems premiere doesn't support it.

Additionally, their other product Fusion is expected to have some crossover in the next version, and taking elements from Resolve to make Fusion better also. Probably a video clip timeline / preview window system for assembling rendered clips down and maybe even incorporation of some basic audio mixing to cue sounds for animation shots... The former has been eluded to from questions posed to Blackmagic representatives... The sound mixing with Fairlight is just guessing at this point. The level of crossover integration is really more at a cut down level, whilst each focus on being individual powerhouse applications that go to a deeper level.

One of the main issues people were having with Resolve in previous versions was playback speed. It was said to be almost there but not quite but from the videos provided on what's new in Resolve 15, it looks as if they may have cracked this now.

Back in December, I created a thread about Resolve 14...which provides some user feedback about this version... and additional screenshots.

There is also a 55 Page Guide PDF for Davinci Resolve 15 that's worth having a look at...

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I thought Resolve was a 'pure' colour correction tool with no other functionality. I picked up Vegas Pro Edit in the Humble Bundle a while back (it's just been reposted if anyone wants to get on it - £14 for a top-tier video edit suite! https://www.humblebundle.com/software/v ... m-rebundle) so this looks like it'll be a nice complementary tool.

Good info, thanks.

I looked up vendors for stuff that PowerDirector ship with - and they say nothing about anything but Premiere and some others. And contacting their support says "no, PowerDirector not supported". So seems Cyberlink did something themselves to adapt those plugins into their interface. And your can purchase in their shop as well.

Always nice if you feel there is headroom in a product.

Seems Resolve starting having a free version since v12 - and they keep doing it. v12 was said to be rather cpu hog, but improved greatly since. And if the full version was $300 it is doable as well, if to encounter something you really want.

Some YT channels even says they shifted over from Premiere to Resolve, and have tutorials.

Will be interesting to hear about result.

What the f*ck is your deal? What an asinine comment.
