Third, effects have had a major overhaul with ResolveFX, a new framework for native GPU and CPU accelerated effects. ThereвЂ™s also a load of metadata enhancements designed to keep tabs on large scale projects, while new Power Bins in the Media Pool will allow for the easy sharing of stock footage and audio etc between projects. WhatвЂ™s more, a saved grade from the gallery can be dragged in as a single compound node, or as a fully expanded node tree. Colorists, meanwhile, will enjoy enhancements to the node editor so now itвЂ™s possible to quickly navigate between nodes, swap nodes, select multiple nodes with a lasso, copy node contents, extract nodes, use embedded alpha channels in mattes and more. The ability to overlay the audio waveform onto a video clip, allows users to navigate to different parts of the clip based on a visual cue of peaks and troughs in the audio, which could speed up multiple editing functions. Second, there are a lot of workflow tweaks. Caching formats such as ProRes 4444 XQ and DNxHR now support extended dynamic range too to serve as an efficient storage alternative to uncompressed 16-bit float files. Specific nodes can now be set to HDR mode which enables the grading tools in Resolve to work in an extended dynamic range especially designed for HDR deliverables. Here's what we wrote when we first heard about it:ДЇirst, this is HDR ready and then some. All in all, Blackmagic touts 'over 1000 enhancements and 250 new features' in Resolve 12.5. Of course, as with any major version release, Resolve 12.5 has a host of other new features and improvements, including expanded HDR support, performance tweaks and a ResolveFX, a new framework for GPU and CPU accelerated effects. Reviewer Ned Soltz had glowing things to say about Resolve 12.5 beta, marveling in particular at its new Color Transform workflow, which entails a conversion of a clip from one colour space to another, while retaining all the information in the clip through transform. In that time, we've had a chance to put it through its paces. It's been nearly three months since Blackmagic Design first made DaVinci Resolve version 12.

After close to three months developing and testing, Blackmagic has brought the latest version of its popular editing and colour grading suite, DaVinci Resolve 12.5, out of beta.
