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.
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.
High end professionals working on feature films and television shows use DaVinci Resolve more than any other solution. You get DaVinci's Emmy award winning image technology with 32-bit float processing, patented YRGB colour science and a massive wide gamut colour space for the latest HDR workflows, plus the legendary quality of Fairlight audio processing.
DaVinci Resolve 20 introduces more than 100 new features including powerful AI tools designed to assist you through every stage of your workflow. Use AI IntelliScript to create timelines from a text script, AI Animated Subtitles to animate words as they are spoken, and AI Multicam SmartSwitch to assemble a timeline based on speaker detection. The cut and edit pages introduce a dedicated keyframe editor and voiceover palettes, AI Audio Assistant creates professional mixes automatically, Fusion adds advanced multi layer compositing, and the Color Warper now includes Chroma Warp.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

On the edit page, record directly into the timeline with quick controls for file name, audio input, destination track, countdown and input monitoring.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
When streaming remotely, you can display power windows and overlays on the reference monitor. H.265 4:2:2 streaming is now supported.
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.
Add cinematic looks that replicate film properties like halation, bloom, grain, flicker, gate weave and vignetting, with exposure in stops and subtractive saturation controls.
