One of the big features of version 8 is Open-GL support, allowing Resolve to run on non-Nvidia cards (except for the new Noise Reduction feature which is CUDA – only and requires one of the supported NVidia cards). See my accompanying blog post about the new 3Way interface and the modifiers you can use with it to enhance your experience grading with a mouse on Resolve.

That’s right, this new version of both Resolve for Mac and Resolve Lite now include a new 3-Way Color Panel. This Lite version is pretty big news but don’t lose sight of a brand new interface that makes this Lite version much moreÂ accessibleÂ to the people most likely to use it… mouse-only desktop colorists.

Resolve 8.0.1 just introduced this new mouse-driven 3-Way interface Select MacOS > DaVinci Resolve > DaVinciÂ Resolve Lite then fill in your details to download this free app. Yet it still supports a GPU + Red Rocket card.īlackMagic has struck a nice balance between giving away a very powerful color grading solution but holding back enough key features that owners of the paid versions won’t complain too much. The 2-node restriction doesn’t allow for the more complicated Parallel, Key, and Mix nodes – which are ‘power user’ features. The removed features seem pretty reasonable. Customers who want to eliminate theseÂ restrictions can purchase the full DaVinci Resolve Software for only US$995. Stereoscopic 3D features, noise reduction, Power Mastering, remoteÂ grading, and sharing projects using an external database server are featuresÂ only offered in the full DaVinci Resolve and so are not included in this freeÂ DaVinci Resolve Lite edition.

However it limits projects to HD resolutions or less, onlyÂ two color correction nodes, a single processing GPU and a single RED rocketÂ card. Here are the details from the Read Me:ĭaVinci Resolve Lite includes all the same high quality processing of the fullÂ DaVinci Resolve. BlackMagic has posted a Public Beta of DaVinci Resolve Lite:Â a free version of BlackMagic’s $999 DaVinci Resolvw for Mac.
