- One of the confusing aspects of DaVinci Resolve,…especially if you're new to the software…and don't have somewhere guiding you,…is that there are two versions:…the paid version and the free version.…This movie is here to help you understand the differences.…And by the way, you long time Resolve veterans,…you need to be aware.…With this 12.5 update, there are significant…differences between the paid and free versions.…Now the free version of Resolve…is called simply DaVinci Resolve.…
The paid version is named DaVinci Resolve Studio.…In this movie, we're going to help you decide…if you need DaVinci Resolve Studio, the paid version.…Now it used to be that Resolve Studio…was really only useful if you needed Studio's…collaborative multi-user features.…With the 12.5 update, it's changed.…So where do we begin?…Well, the first thing to know is the Studio version…is physically a different download from the free version.…

2/2/2016In these tutorials, professional colorist Patrick Inhofer guides viewers through the basics of using DaVinci Resolve 12. Get a look over Patrick's shoulder as he touches on key features in Resolve, while introducing the lingo every colorist needs to understand the program and the workflow. He shows how to import footage, keep it all organized, edit clips in the timeline, and start color grading your project: applying primary and secondary corrections, vignettes, looks, and Power Windows. He also shows how to target corrections with shapes and keys, match shots, and create "hero shots" to jump-start discussions with directors, clients, and colleagues.
Most of the tutorials are compatible with both DaVinci Resolve and DaVinci Resolve Studio, the paid version of the software.
