Jan 15

In the new version of DaVinci Resolve, many new features have been implemented and significant improvements have been made.

It would be impossible to write an article in which I talk about every single new feature or improvement. Therefore, I will focus on the 3 features that I love most about DaVinci Resolve 18.

The 3 Features that I love about DaVinci Resolve 18:

1. Automatic Depth Map

“The new depth map effect lets you instantly generate a 3D depth matte of a scene to quickly grade the foreground separately from the background, and vice versa. You can bring attention to action in the foreground, help interview subjects stand out, or add atmosphere in the background of a scene!”

2. Intuitive Object Mask

“Located in the magic mask palette, the new object mask is able to recognize and track the movement of thousands of unique objects. The DaVinci Neural Engine intuitively isolates animals, vehicles, people and food, plus countless other elements for advanced secondary grading and effects application.”

3. DaVinci NeuralEngine Acceleration

“The advanced machine learning algorithms of the DaVinci Neural Engine are supported on Apple’s M1 and M1 Pro models. This gives you up to 300% speed improvement in dozens of tools that rely on accurate automated analysis of motion and content such as Smart Reframe, SpeedWarp or SuperScale..”
