Thank you guys for watching, you can join our discord here: discord.gg/gpbTJJBRQG CORRECTION: Blackmagic only started producing cameras later on :)

The fact that you can use the once very expensive color corrector for free is mind blowing.

Black magic did not start out making cameras. They made IO boards for editing tools like Final Cut. They wouldn’t make a camera until years after the purchase of da Vinci

Your output on these videos is INSANE! You're like a KZfaq machine putting out bangers every week, keep it up king 👑

I love knowing the history of products like this. After college I was a young producer and took some projects to Davinci film and tape transfer and /or correction sessions, never dreaming I'd one day be able to own and fly the studio! Final Touch was a software only color grading system that came out when Davinci was still hardware, and I bought it as soon as I could, and even with the limits, I knew the future of grading was desktop. The price was $1000 SD, $5000 HD, $25000 for 2K, (Luckily I stayed with SD) You really needed a panel to make it work, I Invested heavily in grading panels at that time as well (JL Cooper). Then Apple bought it and developed it.... very little. Named it Color, gave it away free eventually, then dumped it. I started playing with Resolve around version 9 (and still use the dongle today with no cost, which is unbelivable !) But it wasn't until Resolve 11 that I made it my primary app. I was a major FCP guy from 1.0 to 7, and all the things we ever wished could be incorporated like After Effects, etc, is now reality with Resolve, but significantly better. And their interfaces, like Speed Editor, takes the package to another level. ¥ears ago, before the mini panel was released, I found a post house getting out of Resolve just as I was getting in, and purchased/traded gear for a beautiful set of Advanced Panels. They were amazing, but the mini panel came out shortly after, and did quite a bit of what the Advanced Panels could do. Until BMD released the Keycaps /Version 2 update to the panels, which once again has made them a state of the art color grading experience.

Haven't watched any of your videos yet, including this one, but instant subscribe! Looks like you're covering some really cool topics and I love these kind of videos

Thanks for the educational video. It was interesting, because this is my favorite program at the moment. I bought the Studio version a couple of days ago and am very happy. Moved away from Vegas Pro, which is outdated and not developed. I like Black Magic Design's software license policy - buy once, no worries. I wish good luck to your channel - you have a great voice, presentation and editing :3

Thank you for an amazing, and well put together video!

Thank You for this AMAZING Video and timeline of events leading to Davinci Today! I had been trying to tell the story to convince my editing team why we had to grow from Vegas Video Editing. Everything you spoke on was very on point, especially the integration with Video Cards. Thank you again . . . Love your Channel

I've been editing video since 1/2" reel to reel and physically cutting helical scan 1" video tape to literally edit video tape. Blade cutting 2" Helical scan was state of the art for the 1970's TV show Laugh-In. We have come a long way. I'm glad to see the appreciation and gratitude to Blackmagicdesign for this incredible tool they a putting in our hands. Truly amazing! As are your videos! Thanks for the juice you put into the so interesting and important history of the companies and tools they bring. Rock On!!! In Peace.. Bob

Awesome video once again, I always knew Leonardo da vinci made davinci resolve 🤣

This is a great video, I like knowing history of products and this was a well made video 🙌

Great video! Very interesting!

Love these vids, keep it up!

Great video!

Last year I became part of Resolve's userbase. To think such a powerful and versatile yet somehow intuitive software is free still blows my mind! I've been curious for a while about how the software and the company came to be like this. Thanks for explaining!

Everything about the progress of video editing/manipulating on a desktop computer is pretty mind-boggling, from the decrease in cost to the increase in hardware capability. It's not that long ago that a state-of-the-art hard drive could store about 2 seconds of raw 4k video, max. Etc. etc. And now we get as gnarly as hell when we have to wait a couple of minutes for something to render. We don't know how lucky we are!

Another amazing video. You have a gift as a digital historian/documentarian. Thank you. 🙂

I’m still maintain my CC sub for specific client work, but at this point I’ve almost completely switched over. And with Resolve coming piece meal to iPad, maybe I’ll be able build an entirely new workflow from set to studio in the future. A major limitation being that I don’t shoot on a supported codec for the iPad version yet, so everything will need to be proxies and use BM cloud, but hopefully that won’t be the story forever. Also, if Resolve ever on the desktop side decided to bring ProRes export support for windows, I’d have one less reason to stay with Adobe… Though a lot of my commercial clients are still able to take DnxHD in an MOV wrapper, they always request ProRes and occasionally I run into clients that can’t open xHD files in native players. Complications like this hold up the smooth process DaVinci otherwise has.

Great video, thanks mate

Thanks man, such a thorough vid.

thank you so much for sharing this method with !

Here before 10k, and I'm just gonna call it that you'll be at a million if you keep this quality going.

great video

yo this is actually a banger vid, your editor is superb

Great Video very interesting to hear the history , very well articulated . I used to use FCP then Adobe . I was using Davinci Resolve Just for certain little things mainly Transcoding light colour etc . I fully made the switch it's great it's the video editing software I'd recommend to everyone I don't know how they do it for free / & so cheap honestly but I'm thankful

nice video :)

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="436">7:16</a> wow!! Just randomly Captain D in this video Amazing content .

Man,I can't explain how crazy davinci resolve currently is,just think of it,it's like after effects,premiere pro and adobe audition had a child and this child is getting getting better than all of them at what they are doing,I am surprised I can't find some absolutely crazy projects on the internet made in davinci,you can do soo many stuffs

Great video! Just a quick note, Magic Lantern is not a camera company. It's 3rd party software made to run on Canon DSLR cameras like the 5D and 7D series. It adds a ton of features for both stills and video, and the ML Raw video format was one of those features.

Resolve is what saved editing for me. I hated editing in other programs, having to switch between 2 or more software's is incredibly annoying. Resolve has everything together, it runs well, it rarely crashes, and it autosaves your progress. It's an amazing editing suite and allows me to get creative with my effects.

really enjoyed this 🤘🤘

Interesting to learn about the history of my favorite software

the propellerhead video is going to be a madness.

Amazing video. Yes.. THANK YOU BLACKMAGIC. I have been using Adobe Pr, but switched to Davinci after years of dragging my feet. My beef with Adobe started when I tried to renew my subscription from outside the USA, and they completely declined that - unless I went through their regional partners in my new country - who, charge upwards of 50% extra over the online subscription prices. That, coupled with the occasional frustrations of trying to get the software to just work from start to finish without incident - just made me pull the plug on video editing.. Until recently... When I gave Resolve its chance to shine... And man does it shine... Thinking of picking up new video gear - gimbals, auto-sliders, etc, but also... The POCKET CINEMA 6K..! Thanks for the video!

thank you

Nice vid about a software I love

So good 🎉

As a professional editor and sound designer, I want to use Resolve for more than color grading so much. However, Resolve can't replace Adobe+Nuendo yet, as Resolve just doesn't have the same capabilities as other combinations. If all I was doing was making KZfaq videos with a few video tracks and maybe a dozen audio tracks, using Resolve would be a no brainer. I highly recommend Resolve for the prosumer market. I wish Resolve would put a little more focus on the pro market, but I understand why they focus on the prosumer instead. You can take Resolve's color grading from my cold, dead hands. I don't understand why Adobe hasn't improved Lumetri; Lumetri can't hold a candle to Resolve when it comes to color grading. Adobe will be crushed by DaVinci if DaVinci finally gets their act together and makes their software more pro focused, or better yet gives pros the tools they want/need while staying consumer and prosumer friendly.

This series is the best really...

premiere next?

Any advice on good GPU for DR? What is more important Amount of RAM or speed? Thanks

YESS BABE WAKE UP NEW HISTORY OF JUST DROPPED

The fact that the free version is legitimate free, and not ad supported or anything is mind blowing! Absolutely destroys Adobe in terms of affordability.

Do you know if Resolve 18 will import vector graphics (Illustrator, EPS)? That was one of the things about Version 16 that turned me off, but I thought otherwise it was a great program!

W Video

I think fairlight has been around since the 80s with the fairlight cmi stuff that defined pop music at that time.

Legit making me consider switching from FCPX

Hello.. I was kinda there back in the day. We had 13 D2K suites and were the first to really try Resolve. There’s a couple of things that are important. Resolve was initially hardware and a linux based machine and you got 2 power windows per board. However the MAIN thing ability was being able to send it files over the network. 2K didn’t do that (yeah, it seems impossible to imagine). We also were a big Fairlight house and we synced up an early Resolve system to a Fairlight MFX, along with FCP7 and it was a solid workflow that allowed us to do color correction and audio fx placement easily, and then we could OMF over to our mixing house.. all without tape. This was a huge change. Resolve was also seen as the bastard child that should die and there was considerable pushback from traditional tele-cine systems

....squash barely has more followers than me and still grinds like he got 300k... I love this work ethic. Shows me I can do better.

Would it be possible for you to talk about Blender in a next video please 🙏

Great video, thanks. You never mentioned that the paid version of Davinci Resolve is only $300.00. Let's be honest folks, if you're really serious about digital film / video creation then 300 bucks is is nothing in terms of one's investment in the proccess. Having a free version of this system amost devalues it and makes some people think it can't be all that great. I was an FCP user for many years and spent time wrestling with Premier Pro. There is no comparison anymore between those two programs and what DR has become. I would pay substantially more for DR if that's what they were asking. Go Blackmagic!

The video editor I use

I just recently flocked to resolve to escape the $600 yearly trap of Adobe. I couldn't be happier.

Thanks You Davinci Resolve

Should do Cakewalk if you haven't already

Great Job! I’m scratching my head as to why Avid was never mentioned in this and only Premier Pro was.

I have to ask you something so here is the question you said you are using the free version of Resolve but the free version doesn't have GPU based rendering on Windows so my question is how are you rendering all this? With your CPU? I once pirated resolve and got hacked later on and have developed a PTSD towards pirating so I refuse to pirate resolve again however using only CPU for rendering is going to burn that cpu at some point and I use a laptop so yeah it's definitely not going to help me render my 2k 3hr long videos

BTW it is pronounced Tell A Sin Eee. Not Tell A Scene 😅.

It makes no sense to me how Adobe wants a shit ton of money for their wonky ass product while DaVinci is able to expand and improve a lot while still offering free copy of their product for home user and maybe even a small scale commercial studio.

if you're a child or a teenager - well done, great video! If you're an adult - why are you lowering the quality of your video with these f**ck and the associated sounds?

You said that Blackmagic started out making cameras. That is simply not true. They didn't make cameras until recent history.

Ya, resolve is by far the best video editor I've ever used

Industry insider here.. Telecine isn't pronounced teleceen. It's pronounced telesinny. Good stuff though!

Blackmagic started out making budget broadcast converters, expanded into desktop IO, and then got into low to mid end cameras. Calling them high end makes me doubt that you did thorough research.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="87">1:27</a> Kodak invent OLED in 1985 - dude thats long around, why it took so long to take off

Holy F**k

Black magic to the moon

Nothin' about Linux support?

I feel that when you start making money off your work you should pay it forward and purchase the Studio edition.

He swears in the most pointless places...

Please Please do Bitwig!

I do appreciate the massive functionality that Resolve offers, but it is so fat and bloated, takes forever to load and crashes often enough for me to switch to Reaper for simple editing after my first YT video - and Reaper is a *_DAW!_* For light applications without funky effects, it is plenty.

wassup

With this pacing, you'll out of material fast

Bitwig?

Tele-scenes? Tele-seens? That's not how "telecine" is pronounced.

Very interesting. I enjoyed it. Just drop the 'F' words. They aren't needed for your great presentation.

It was on Linux first

TELE-SIN-EEE bro.... not TELE-SEEN

The use of the f word just doesn't make.. Be good, be clean. Make your content a go to content across all age peers and cultures.

Interesting info, but I believe it could be better without unnecessary f* words.

Telecine is pronounced tele-ci-knee

Resolve for $800,000. Wtf
