I also saw recently that Dave Dugdale on YouTube found an interesting solution to the possible bug. I noticed a little bit of a lag when editing with the thumbnail frames turned on. As someone who’s partial to Media Composer, I really like that you can choose between frame view in the timeline and clips-only view, leaving out thumbnails and waveform views in the timeline. For anyone coming from another NLE - like Media Composer or Premiere - there are a few things you will have to get used to, but overall it feels like the interface designers of Resolve 14 kept the interface familiar for those “older” editors, yet also packed it with interesting features to keep the “YouTube” editors’ interest piqued. If you start and finish within Resolve 14, your experience will most likely be pretty smooth. The bezier curves really come in handy here to make animations ease in and out nicely. It would be nice to have a shortcut to use the title as a matte for other footage for some quick and fancy titling effects, but maybe that is what Fusion is for? The title tool works fine and will now give you nice crisp text even when blown up. But what I would really love is a comprehensive overhaul of the Title Tool that would allow for direct manipulation of the text on top of the video. There are some more fancy additions like re-time curves directly editable in the timeline. This is extremely handy when doing conforms and online passes of effects when you don’t want timing and position of clips to change. What is really interesting about this is that it still allows you to trim and apply other effects to clips while locking the position of your clips in place. The Position Lock keeps all of your clips locked in time in your timeline. In addition, you can make the multicam a different frame rate than your timeline, which is handy.Īnother addition is the Position Lock located in the middle right, above the timeline. But the multicam worked and did its job by allowing me to sync by in point, out point, timecode, sound or marker. I also couldn’t figure out how to adjust the multi-cam after it had been created, because say, for instance, audio was one frame out of sync or I needed to add another angle later on. I couldn’t figure out how to watch all of the angles in the source monitor while playing down the sequence in the record monitor, so I did a live switch (something I love to do in Media Composer). Multicam works as expected with up to 16 cameras in one split view. When connected to a collaborative project there is now bin-locking, sharing bins and even a chat window. You can work from ingest to output all within one app. With these new additions, among others, I really do think that Resolve is also becoming a workable nonlinear editor much like industry standards such as Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro and Apple Final Cut Pro X. And don’t forget the audio waveforms being visible on the source monitor! My favorite updates to Resolve 14’s Editing tab revolve around collaboration and conforming functions, but I even appreciate some smaller updates like responsiveness while trimming and video scopes on the edit page. The free version will work with res olutions up to UHD at up to 60fps and still gives you access to all of the powerful base tools like Fairlight and the mighty color correction tool set.ĭisclaimer: While I really will try and focus on the Editing tab, I can’t make any promises I won’t wander. For this review, I am using the $299 version, which has a few perks - higher than UHD resolutions higher than 60 frames per second timelines the all-important spatial and/or temporal noise reduction many plugins like the new face tracker multi-user collaboration and much more. Fairlight is not currently at the same level as Avid Pro Tools, but it is still capable, and with a price of free or at most $299 you can’t lose. Over the last two years, Resolve has grown from a high-end color correction and finishing app to include a fully-capable nonlinear editor, media organizer and audio editing tool. While I typically refer to Resolve as a high-end color correction and finishing tools, this review will focus on the Editing tab. Resolve 14 has really stepped up Blackmagic’s NLE game with many great new updates over the past few months.
