The features of this new version of DaVinci Resolve 18 for iPad are optimized for MultiTouch technology and the Apple Pencil. In addition, they give users access to DaVinci's image technology, color finishing tools, and up-to-date HDR workflows.

The projects designed with the iPad are standard DaVinci Resolve project files, so they can be opened on the Desktop version of DaVinci Resolve 18.

This new version for iPad allows filmmakers to import clips directly from:

iPad internal storage
iPad photo library
iCloud connected externally
USB-C media drives

Moreover, the supported file formats are H.264, H.265, Apple ProRes and Blackmagic RAW.

Like Grant Pretty, the CEO of Blackmagic Design, stated, this new iPad version will put the power of Hollywood post-production tools for editing and color correction right in the hands of users. It's only a matter of time before we can distribute our professional video editing workflows on our iPads.

Using BRAW in Adobe Premiere

With the arrival of the Blackmagic RAW (BRAW) in the URSA mini Pro 4.6K G2 en Pocket Cinema Camera 4K we were often asked "Can we use BRAW in Adobe Premiere?"

Both the URSA mini Pro 4.6K G2 and the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K come with a license DaVinci Resolve Studio, along. That Blackmagic program can of course read BRAW files. But if you work with other video editing software, it is a different story.
Adobe itself does not (yet) support BRAW in Premiere Pro and Media Encoder, but third party developers Autokroma have developed BRAW Studio with which you can still use Blackmagic RAW files as a Premiere video editor.

How does Autokroma BRAW Studio work?

Braw Studio (windows-only) is a paid solution for PC users who want to use Blackmagic RAW in Premiere Pro. You can see the video below how Autokroma BRAW Studio works in Premiere Pro.

Buy BRAW Plugin for Premiere Pro

If you want to buy the BRAW Plugin for Premiere Pro, we refer you to aescripts.com there, pay less than $ 30 for the Windows license of BRAW Studio.

Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 16 Beta

UPDATE:

The current version of DaVinci Resolve released by Blackmagic Design is 18.1.3, click here to discover more and get more information.

Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 16 Beta

With the announcement of Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 16 beta, users will be able to try the new capabilities until mid-August 2019. A free version of DaVinci Resolve 16 (beta) is available as with the previous versions. Do you have a DaVinci Resolve Studio license purchased then you can also download a free version of it.

Since Resolve 16 beta has a huge amount of new features, we have only put a few of them in this blog post.

Be careful when installing DaVinci Resolve 16 beta

Before we give an overview of the new possibilities in DaVinci Resolve 16 beta, the following. Be careful when installing DaVinci Resolve 16 beta! Do not install the beta version on your production computer. While the software is in beta, things may not work, the software may crash but more importantly.

The Resolve 16 beta version will overwrite the previous version of DaVinci Resolve.

New cut page in DaVinci Resolve 16 beta

The most important news in DaVinci Resolve 16 beta is the cut page. The cut page allows for a faster way of working all the way if you can use it DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard. There are two presentations of the timeline, the entire timeline and there, among other things, detailed presentation. This way you can see at a glance where you are working in the timeline. The cut page is also ideal for video editors editing on a laptop as only the essential editing tools are directly visible.

To add transition effects such as dissolves you no longer need to be on the cut point, but Resolve 16 can recognize where there is a cut point and place the dissolve there. Fast review is a very interesting addition. Longer clips in the timeline play faster than shorter clips so that you can ultimately view a timeline faster.

DaVinci Neural Engine new in Resolve 16

Also new in Resolve 16 is the DaVinci Neural Engine. Thanks to the addition of the neural engine, Resolve 16 can use face recognition, auto color and color matching, super scale for up-scaling and AI technology. The neural engine can be used in a network environment and will provide the most optimal performance under the hood itself.

Frame IO integration DaVinci Resolve 16

In the new version of DaVinci Resolve is also FrameIO integration present. Thanks to Frame IO, remote collaboration on productions is possible and customers can remotely watch a video, comment and approve. More about Frame IO in DaVinci Resolve 16 can be found in this video.
