The marketing crew from Blackmagic were working every angle.
So, my dongle arrived in the post – “Go on, take Resolve 12 out for a spin,” the note said and, “We’d like to hear what you think of it, a lot has changed”.
Please note, it’s written from the point of view of a colourist/editor who is returning to try Resolve after exclusively grading and editing on other kit for the last few years, so is more a general catch up of today’s Resolve rather than just an extensive review of the new features added to version 12. Here is Robin’s review of DaVinci Resolve 12, which was released late last year. Robin is also an editor and compositor with credits for Harry Potter as well as title sequences and TV commercials. He has built up a wealth of experience on a broad range of projects covering broadcast docs, commercials and feature films. Robin Doelly began his career as a colourist at Rushes and, having worked in several Soho post facilities, now freelances at Fifty Fifty Post among other facilities in London.
