Introducing DaVinci Resolve 17

Blackmagic Design finally introduced DaVinci Resolve 17, with a slew of new features that surpassed my expectations. MixingLight has a good summary of initial impressions and favorites, if you don’t have time to watch the full presentation video from Blackmagic Design.

Darren Mostyn dropped 3(!) videos covering new features.

In order to support the burgeoning editing capabilities of DaVinci Resolve, Blackmagic Design made brand new keyboard called Speed Editor. It’s pricey at nearly $300, but with the DaVinci Resolve license included, it’s a steal.

Color Warper is one of the most exciting new feature and I suspect there will be interesting looks coming to the scene very soon.

I won’t be downloading it yet since it just came out in BETA, but I can’t wait to use this program when it’s solid.

The most interesting stat in this graph is the total dominance of DaVinci Resolve in the color grading, but none in editing despite BlackMagic Design’s emphasis on that particular feature in recent years.

I’m also surprised to see Unity coming in after After Effects for Animation / VR / VFX.
