You can check out Chadwick’s site or his YouTube channel and he has many videos that will get you working even better at DaVinci.
This is on the media management tools within DaVinci.
Well worth a quick read if you have 8 Bit Footage that shows banding and you need to get rid of it. I often have the issue with graphics and ramps, so this is always good to know.
What this sounds like is it takes a sequence from DaVinci Resolve and then can quickly match it to a look that you show it, and it does it with standard corrections that can be sent back to Resolve without using XML at all and it puts the grade on nodes.
It is supposed to be perceptual matching of shots to reference shots. Obviously I need to try it out before I can comment on how it works, because I have just watched a few videos on it for now. And most impressively is how it creates 8 versions of the match so you can pick your favorite.
The video above is pretty long winded, but very interesting. I certainly want to give it a try.
A $4000 price drop on it’s 12K camera is amazing, especially considering the worldwide chip shortage! The hard drive space for 12K is too much for me, but still an impressive price drop. This is going to really get this camera in allot of hands!
Blackmagic has updated it’s DaVinci Resolve software to 17.3.
The big feature is 3x faster with Apple Silicon M1 enabling 8k editing and grading. As well as H.265 encoder enhancements.
It also includes the ability to rotate garbage mattes.
Another great sounding free update. Can’t wait to give it a try.
Blackmagic design has done it again and have released a 4K streaming version of the web presenter.
The previous $495 version could accept a 4K signal, but it only could output at 1080, but this can output at a full 4k for a better signal for $695.
And like the previous model it has a USB C out so you can connect it to your computer as a web cam to use in Zoom. And with my UltraStudio 4K I could easily run it via the SDI input without bothering the HDMI out (though it also has an HDMI out).
I was talking to a DP with the director on a notes call and I really wished I had this setup so We could do live sessions. I know a lot of producers like to do a session in person and being able to stream live to a producer and talk really is something I need to add to my setup soon so I can continue to work at home. I am really looking forward to trying out Sofi Marshall’s setup and getting this going.

OK I haven’t used these yet, but I want to try them all out.
I use Optical Flares from Video Copilot for flares in my motion graphics all the time, so I do love having access to flares and $39 for LensMaster Flares is ridiculously cheap.
And I have to admit to hating doing audio mixes and cleanup, and though I do use Essential Sound in Premiere it doesn’t do as much as it looks like Alex Audio Butler does. And I really want to get my hands on the ERA 5 Bundle. I don’t really mess with EQ and compression unless I have to, so these tools would be amazing to have.
And I just installed Reactor from We Suck Less. I haven’t delved too deep into Fusion as of yet, but I have played a bit. And to have this amazing set of tools for free. Wow! I can’t wait.

Sound is my worst part of editing. So often of late I am working for companies that expect me to mix, when an audio guy can add so much to a mix. Maybe this can help a little with audio if you want to dive into it.
Toolfarm, the plug-in seller has posted it’s top 5 plug-ins for under $99 for various software. For Premiere Pro, Davinci Resolve, AVID, Final Cut Pro X, Audio and various 3D packages.
Always good to see lists of inexpensive plug ins.
