DaVinci Resolve 14 is a major update that provides a performance improvement of up to 10 times, the addition of a built-in Fairlight audio suite and multi user collaboration tools that let multiple people edit, colour and mix audio from multiple systems, all in the same project at the same time. These features will provide single-click switching between editing, colour and audio and dramatically change post production from a linear to a parallel workflow. New bin, clip and timeline locking lets users safely work on a specific part of the project without overwriting each other. There’s also a built in secure chat client that lets team members talk to each other from within DaVinci Resolve without the need for an external internet connection.
A public beta of DaVinci Resolve 14 will be available today and for immediate download from the Blackmagic Design website.
