DaVinci Resolve 15 Honored with HPA Engineering Excellence Award
The Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) has named DaVinci Resolve 15 as one of the recipients of their 2018 Engineering Excellence Awards. This recognition highlights the software's outstanding technical and creative ingenuity in media production.
DaVinci Resolve 15, released earlier this year at NAB, offers a significant step forward for post-production workflow, providing a full suite of tools from ingest to delivery directly integrated into a single ecosystem. The platform includes improvements in quality, functionality, and time-to-delivery, eliminating the need for exchange formats, translation, and conform.
Fusion Integration Enhances Visual Effects Capabilities
The software features an entirely new Fusion page for feature film-quality visual effects and motion graphics animation. This integration enables customers to use over 250 tools for compositing, vector paint, particles, keying, rotoscoping, text animation, tracking, stabilization, and more in a true 3D workspace.
Fusion is now built into DaVinci Resolve 15, giving customers a seamless visual effects experience. The standalone version of Fusion will continue to be available for those who require it.
Audio Capabilities Enhanced with Fairlight Page
The Fairlight page has been significantly updated, offering a complete ADR toolset, static and variable audio retiming with pitch correction, audio normalization, 3D panners, audio and video scrollers, fixed playhead with scrolling timeline, shared sound libraries, support for legacy Fairlight projects, and built-in cross-platform plugins.
Colorists and Editors Benefit from DaVinci Resolve 15
The software includes over a hundred new features and improvements that editors and colorists have requested. Colorists can now use an entirely new LUT browser to quickly preview and apply LUTs, along with new shared nodes that are linked so when one is changed, they all change.
Professional editors will find improved performance, noise reduction, and Super Scale HD to 8K up-rezzing. The software also expands HDR support with GPU-accelerated Dolby Vision metadata analysis and native HDR10+ grading controls.
