Perhaps our favourite change comes with the improved contextual editing tool - which changes its function depending where and how you click on a clip. The main improvement being that it’s now easier to control the interface using a keyboard and mouse. Working with audio can feel a little intimidating, and this isn’t helped by the fact that Fairlight can allow you to work with up to 2,000 tracks, enabling you to design extremely complex projects and likely make newcomers run for the hills, so anything designed to help simplify matters is always highly welcome.įairlight is Resolve’s audio section, and it has received major improvements, many of which are aimed at making it easier for the novice user to get into this part of the interface. DaVinci Wide Gamut is a new workflow which provides a universal internal working colour space that’s wider than what cameras can capture, meaning it’ll preserve all image data no matter which device your clip was shot on.Īudio Trim is surprisingly useful: it increases the size of the waveform, making it easier to know where to cut your clip (Image credit: Blackmagic Design) Audio work With the featured enabled (in the project settings), you’ll be offered a menu with a small range of colour workflow presents. Resolve’s Colour Management has undergone a lot of changes.
Viewer Wipe Modes, used to easily compare shots, have a few new variations, such as splitting the image diagonally, as a Venetian blind, or with a checkerbroad effect. New tools have been added to your palette, such as HDR Grading, Colour Warper and Magic Mask.Ĭolour Warper is an interesting way of altering the colour and luminance of a clip simultaneously and you can control that change either by clicking and dragging on the preview window, or by changing the position of the points on the tool’s grid.Īs for Magic Mask, it looks like a simple and impressive way to isolate a person or part of a person from the rest of the clip - but that’s a new tool only available in the Ultimate version. Many colour grading features have been improved with new tools added, giving you greater control over the look of your media (Image credit: Blackmagic Design) Color gradingĪs you may know, Resolve started its existence as a colour grading tool, and version 17 has made a lot of advancements and improvements in that section of the software.
