Professional Editing, Colour, Effects and Audio Post

Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Studio 20

DaVinci Resolve is the only software that integrates editing, colour correction, visual effects, motion graphics, and audio post-production into a single tool. Its sleek, modern interface is easy for beginners to learn while still being powerful enough for professionals. Work more efficiently and produce higher quality results without switching between multiple applications, maintaining the original quality of your camera images throughout the entire process. It's like having your own post-production studio in one app, using the exact same tools Hollywood professionals rely on.

Please Note

This Perpetual Licence is not version specific and can be updated to the latest version of Resolve. The DaVinci Resolve Studio Activation Key is a physical activation code that can be used on a maximum of two systems simultaneously (for example, a desktop workstation and a laptop). If the licence key is activated a third time, all previous activations will be cleared and you will need to activate any copy again.

Cloud Collaboration

Blackmagic Cloud

Host your project libraries and optionally sync all of your media. Share projects and work collaboratively with editors, colourists, VFX artists and audio engineers at the same time, anywhere in the world.

Share Cloud Folders

Cloud folders let you share clips, images and graphics with collaborators. All content appears as virtual clips until used in a project, then syncs locally so you can access large amounts of media while staying organised.

URL Presentations Sharing

Review projects in Presentations with clients who don't have a Blackmagic Cloud account. Generate a URL link, share it, and review clips together with timeline markers and group chat.

Icon View with Thumbnails

Cloud storage features an icon view with thumbnails so you can visually identify clips. Hover to scrub through content and view camera and clip metadata in the inspector panel.

Blackmagic Cloud for Organizations

The Organizations web app lets larger companies define a single organisation, create groups or teams, share projects, manage storage access, and enable single sign on.

DaVinci Resolve Studio Licences

The Organizations app also lets you rent DaVinci Resolve Studio licences, making it easier to assign and manage allocations within large groups and cost them against specific projects.

Blackmagic Proxy Generator

Automatically creates and manages proxies from camera originals. Create a watch folder and new media is converted into H.264, H.265 or ProRes proxies to accelerate editing workflows.

Simplified Proxy Workflow

Switch between camera original footage and proxies with a single click. Resolve instantly links back to camera originals so you can edit with proxies then relink to grade.

Blackmagic Cloud Camera Sync

Blackmagic URSA Cine and PYXIS can upload proxy files followed by camera originals to Blackmagic Cloud, automatically syncing to DaVinci Resolve projects for fast collaborative editing.

Cut and Edit

New Layout for Vertical Timelines

When a vertical timeline loads, the cut, edit and colour page layouts automatically rearrange to optimise working with a vertical viewer, giving you maximum use of the screen.

Voice Over Palette

Record a voice over track during timeline playback with cue, record and stop controls, plus quick access to voice isolation, dialogue levelling, a prompter script and countdown.

Refined Keyframe Editing

A dedicated keyframe editor in the cut and edit pages allows for finer parameter animation using keyframe curves, parameter modes and ease controls.

Improved Text+ Graphic Layout

Text+ has been updated with point, text box, circle and path styles for more refined control over text graphics, and PSD files can be split into individual layers in place.

Create Unique Text Layers

The MultiText tool creates multiple text layers in one place. Use inspector tabs to set individual appearance, layout, warping and keyframe animation per layer.

New Live Overwrite Controls

Drag directly in the viewer to live overwrite a camera angle into the timeline. Drag horizontally to paint at the playhead, or drag down to turn the angle into a draggable clip.

Source Viewer Timeline Editing

Open a timeline in the source viewer to review, compare and edit between two timelines with stacked timelines and drag and drop media between them.

Safe Trimming Mode

Prevents you from accidentally overwriting crucial edits. Drag trim points to fill gaps and Resolve pauses at each cut point until you choose to continue.

New Audio Mixer

The cut page now features a full audio mixer with professional loudness metering, pan, fader, solo, mute, EQ, Dynamics and FX controls per channel.

Voice Over Tool

On the edit page, record directly into the timeline with quick controls for file name, audio input, destination track, countdown and input monitoring.

Multi Source

See all your live cameras, or clips sharing a common timecode, in a multiview. Scrub, play, select shots to add to the timeline or switch live from any angle.

Point of Interest

Capture significant moments with a POI marker placed on all clips at the same time, so you can find the event on every angle and build a highlights timeline.

Replay Palette

Set a POI with a single key, select a camera and cue the event. Run to play to air automatically via ATEM, switch cameras, or dump the playout for the next replay.

Auto Stinger

Moving graphic and sound transitions signal a switch between live and replay. Auto stingers play in real time at the head and tail of a replay, even in slow motion.

Color

Chroma Colour Warp

Intuitively adjust colour and saturation with a single motion in the viewer. Use stroke or point to point modes and add pin points to isolate regions you don't want to affect.

Remote Monitoring Improvements

When streaming remotely, you can display power windows and overlays on the reference monitor. H.265 4:2:2 streaming is now supported.

UltraNR Noise Reduction

A new DaVinci AI Neural Engine driven denoise mode that dramatically reduces digital noise while maintaining image clarity. Combine with temporal noise reduction for even better results.

Film Look Creator

Add cinematic looks that replicate film properties like halation, bloom, grain, flicker, gate weave and vignetting, with exposure in stops and subtractive saturation controls.

ColorSlice Six Vector Grading

Uses subtractive colour processes to adjust image density, saturation and hue, producing rich filmic colours. Customisable vector slices enhance colour without spill.

Marker Overlays and Annotations

The Color page viewer now supports marker overlays and annotations. Leave written notes, pick marker colour and thickness, and draw directly in the viewer.

Composite Modes within Nodes

Corrector nodes now feature composite modes, affecting how node values blend into the pipeline without needing a layer mixer, for cleaner node graphs.

Automatic Depth Map

Instantly generate a 3D depth matte of a scene to grade foreground and background separately, bringing attention to action or adding atmosphere behind subjects.

Fusion

Deep Image Compositing

Access depth data in deep image EXR files with new nodes to merge, transform, resize, crop, recolour and generate holdouts, rendering deep EXRs with the Fusion saver node.

Multi Layer Pipeline

Fusion supports multi-layer images across all nodes. Read multi-layer EXRs or Photoshop files and access any layer in any node without independent renders.

Vector Warping Toolset

Vector warp, vector transform and vector denoise use motion vectors to enable intricate temporal effects, leveraging a clip's natural movement.

Support for 180 VR

PanoMap, spherical stabiliser, LatLong patcher, 3D VR camera and 3D viewers now support 180 degree angle of view for immersive content production.

3D Scene Dome Light

Simulates natural ambient lighting in a 3D scene and integrates 360 HDRI images for accurate reflections and global illumination.

View Colour Grade in Fusion

Preview colour page clip grades directly in the Fusion page viewer through the MediaOut node, saving time when reviewing the final look of a clip.

Advanced Volume Rendering

uVolume imports volumetric VDB files directly into Fusion with complete control over density, temperature and colour for smoke, fire, clouds and explosions.

MultiPoly Tool

Displays all of your masks in a single list, letting you view, select, add to and modify shapes, toggle visibility and adjust parameters from one location.

Fairlight

6 Band Clip EQ

Clip EQ now features 6 bands on the cut, edit and Fairlight pages, matching the track EQ in the mixer so settings can be copied between clip, track and EQ plug-in.

EQ and Level Matcher
