About DaVinci Resolve
DaVinci Resolve is video post production software from Blackmagic Design. It brings editing, colour correction, visual effects (Fusion), audio mixing (Fairlight) and delivery into a single application, with separate workspaces called pages for each stage of the job.
It began as a high-end colour grading system and is still known for its colour tools, which are used in professional film and television work. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and an iPad version is also offered.
A free edition has long been available and covers a large share of what hobbyists and independent creators need. A paid Studio edition adds extra features and is sold as a one-time purchase, according to the vendor's long-standing model, though you should check the official site for current pricing. Resolve is demanding on hardware, particularly the graphics card, and has a learning curve compared with simpler editors. It suits serious YouTubers, filmmakers and colourists who want a professional toolset without a subscription.
Check your graphics card against the system requirements before installing. Resolve is heavy on GPU and memory.
