But this latest release improves usability. Resolve can seem daunting because so many features are packed into several workspaces.

The Color page is as good as any application designed specifically for color grading, and Fairlight matches up to any audio-specific program. Each is carefully designed to match the needs of the task. It’s unusual at first but can speed up the process.Īnd, there are five further workspaces - Media, for importing footage Fusion, for effects Color Fairlight, for audio and Deliver, for exporting. Clips are no longer collected in bins but appear as one collected tape. It includes a dual timeline the upper timeline shows the entire edit, while the lower timeline focuses on where you’re working. There’s also an alternative layout, the Cut Page, designed for fast turn-around editing. It works well and is easy to get used to.

The main edit interface has a similar layout to competitors: multitrack timeline along the bottom, media browser in the top left, preview monitor top center, and the effects panel in the top right.

Now, artists can work simultaneously without disrupting each other’s work, so color, effects, and sound editing can begin before the editor has locked picture. Resolve is designed for teams to collaborate on a project. Automation has been improved you can record any parameter change over time, and when you trim or move any clip, the automation will follow your edit, meaning last-minute edits won’t damage the mix. It’s much more powerful than before, able to mix 2,000 tracks in real time, and has new keyboard shortcuts that make the process faster.
