Creative Cow has the announcement of a completely overhauled user interface, that will be available in July and free of charge for all Resolve customers, or $994 full price as it is now.. New features include automatic 3D eye matching, mutli-layer timelines, xml support and more camera and file support. It also includes Log grading, audio playback with 16 tracks per clip, automatic audio sync, clip data burn ins and batch rendering for dailies.
Black Magic has updated Davinci Resolve Lite to 8.1.1 and it now has unlimited Color Correction Nodes instead of 2! Wow! So basically the paid version just adds over HD resolution, more than one GPU to process, and more than one RED rocket card, as well as Stereoscopic 3D, noise reduction, power mastering, remote grading and sharing projects with an external database.
I really don’t feel so bad that Apple Color is gone now!
You can download from the Support section.
The Configurator for Mac OS X stills seems to be missing and now links to the PDF manual.
that DaVinci Resolve 8.1 now has support for FCP X and conforms and roundtrips. So you can now do a full color out of FCP X, though you audio is still going to be hard to conform without tracks.
You can even move an FCP 7 edit to FXP X using resolve, which is pretty huge. Now they need to add Premiere Pro support!

Biscardi Creative has an interesting article on workarounds to use Adobe Premiere Pro and AVID Media Composer with Davinci Resolve which is currently made to work with Final Cut Pro 7.
It looks like there is no easy solution right now, as Resolve reads Premiere’s XML, but not all of it’s media is compatible, and you need a $500 plug in to make it work with AVID. Otherwise you basically need to export a quicktime and use scene detection to make a grade (so no dissolves).
Not an ideal solution for sure.
