DaVinci Resolve 19 Released!

After a long wait, DaVinci Resolve 19 is released, finally. I will be using 18(.6.6 to be exact) professionally for the foreseeable future, but I installed 19 for the personal use/projects.

Here are the latest and the greatest features of 19, presented by the dedicated DR Youtube channels.

Getting familiar with DR 19 is going to keep me busy for the rest of September, so that I’ll be ready when there’s new projects that require 19 comes along.

Color Grading on iPad Pro with DaVinci Resolve

With the latest iPad Pro (2024) release, color grading on it with DaVinci Resolve is easier than ever. (Never mind that the price of capable iPad Pro is in the MacBook Pro price range.)

M4 on iPad Pro before Mac? Wild!

I’ve used my iPad Pro (5th generation) as a reference monitor when I’m working on social media videos, but I don’t see myself running DaVinci Resolve on it anytime soon. Especially when I have a very capable MacBook Pro (M1 but still going strong!).

Nevertheless, the video below shows you that there’s more capabilities than you realized on iPad Pro today and it’s well worth your time to check it out.

DaVinci Resolve 19! (Beta)

BlackMagic Design finally revealed DaVinci Resolve 19, and released a beta. I spent my last weekend dutifully watching the videos below to learn about the new features of the latest version.

With these features across all aspects of the program, this is worthy of 19 in its name.


Along with the new version of Resolve, DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel is announced & released at $509. It is cheaper than the Micro Panel ($859 with a DR Studio license), and mostly importantly, it’s designed and built to be a portable gear for laptops and iPad Pros with the dedicated slot. With the new iPad Pros (M3 chip with OLED!) rumored to be coming out soon, you can finally replace MacBooks for your post works on-the-go.

Since I own a Micro Panel that serves me well at my home studio/office, this is not for me. But I’m excited that this new panel offers a preview to an upgraded/updated version of Mini Panel which BlackMagic Design must be working on inside their labs.

So I’m already looking forward to see what BlackMagic Design will release at next year’s NAB.

CTRL+ALT+DESIRE - Paramount+ Documentary Series

I worked as the online editor for the true crime docuseries, CTRL+ALT+DESIRE, produced by Ark Media. This 3 episode series will be streaming April 16th on Paramount+.

You can watch the trailer below:

This one shook me to my core, even though I've seen and worked on many true crime series.


Addum: Paramount+ released the first episode so that you sign up to witness its shocking conclusion.

C’est moi.
