Resolve (software only)

DaVinci Resolve Software for Mac

Software Only

DaVinci Resolve for the Mac is the world’s most advanced color correction as a software only solution compatible with high performance GPU cards and off the shelf control panels such as the Tangent Wave™. Includes 32 bit float YRGB processing for all effects, power windows, tracking, primaries and secondaries and 3D object tracker. You get the a full copy of DaVinci Resolve with no features disabled, so you get a full system, with single GPU performance. Because DaVinci Resolve Software is a full DaVinci, as GPUs on Mac get faster, your DaVinci Resolve will get faster. Add supported third party control surfaces and video I/O, devices to let your system grow! Great first color correction solution when you're working heavily in SD and HD!

Clients demand DaVinci!
When you’re in a room full of demanding clients with conflicting ideas, colorists know that only DaVinci has the quality, real time performance, creative features, and powerful control panels to make euphoric clients who love to keep coming back.
That’s why clients always ask for DaVinci by name.

Realtime by design
Computer based solutions are always limited to the computer you’re running on. DaVinci Resolve when running on Linux smashes this limitation, because it’s based on a cluster of Linux computers with high performance GPU cards, so all processing is always real time. This means DaVinci Resolve Linux has all the power of a super computer for the real time performance you need when you're in a room full of clients. Add dozens of primaries, secondaries, power windows, multi point tracking, blurs, and more, then just hit play. It always works!

Scale as you need!
Start with a single computer on Mac OS X for lower cost, then upgrade to Linux for extra power for high resolutions such as 2K or 4K, stereoscopic 3D feature films, or real time grading of raw RED files. It’s all possible with DaVinci because you can just add extra Linux computers and GPU cards via high speed InfiniBand connections. Only DaVinci Resolve scales up as your needs increase.

Mind blowing creative options
Every node has full YRGB processing with primary and secondary controls; lift, gamma, gain, hue, saturation, luminance, calibrated printer lights, matte defocus, image defocus, 3D object tracking, YSFX, Custom Curves™, soft clip, highlight, circle, rectangle and polygon Power Windows™, plus the new Power Curve™ windows with full bezier control and independent inside and outside softness. Only DaVinci has such a mind blowing range of creative options to explore, and of course it’s all real time!

World's greatest 3D tracker
DaVinci Resolve includes the world’s most powerful 3D object tracker that’s perfect for locking Power Windows™ to on screen objects. No more time wasting key frame generation! Just drop a Power Window™ into a shot, such as someone’s face, turn on 3D tracking and press play. 3D object tracking automatically follows the objects movement, position and size, even if it’s tracking someone’s face and they turn their head sideways! 3D object tracking uses 1 to 99 tracking points for real time perfect tracking lock.

Innovative stereoscopic 3D!
With the latest feature films in full stereoscopic 3D, DaVinci Resolve on Linux easily handles these new demanding workflows. With stereoscopic hardware you can grade and view two eyes at the same time, all in real time with no rendering and no proxies. Each eye can have its own or a common grade and you can change the position of each eye to change the stereoscopic effect. It's easy to group shots and grade multiple clips at the same time just by selecting the clips in a group or use a quad play head to review up to four clips at one time.
