How AI is used

DaVinci Resolve is a professional post-production application that integrates editing, color grading, VFX, and audio work. Users work across dedicated "pages" for each stage of the process, such as the Cut page for fast turnarounds or the Fairlight page for audio mixing.

The software supports various native camera formats and supports multi-user collaboration via Blackmagic Cloud, which may help team members work on the same project simultaneously.

Buyers should confirm that while a free version is available, specific capabilities—such as 10-bit video support, the DaVinci AI Neural Engine, and resolutions beyond 4K—are reserved for the paid Studio version.
