Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve 10 is ready to download. It’s free for all existing DaVinci Resolve users.

DaVinci Resolve Lite edition for Mac OS X and Windows is also ready to download–for free.

The new Resolve Live feature lets you do color grading real-time and live. You can control primaries, secondaries, power windows, custom curves and more. Grades can be stored and  relinked later.

DaVinci Resolve 10 includes editing features and can import from other popular editing software. You can do online finishing from the original camera RAW files. New editing functions include editing up to 16 channels of audio per clip and unlimited video and audio tracks in the timeline. Audio can be synced or trimmed and dragged independently to the timeline. Other new editing features include ripple, roll, slide and slip clip trimming. The viewer allows split screen display to show in and out points of adjacent clips.

Final Cut Pro X editors can use DaVinci Resolve 10 as the way to online for cinema release and generate the DCP file directly from the camera RAW files.

Editing in DaVinci Resolve 10 also includes a title tool with static, lower third, scroll and crawl titles with multiple fonts, size, drop shadow and XY positioning.

Color correction has been upgraded in DaVinci Resolve 10. You can do unlimited power windows per corrector node. The new Gradient PowerWindow can quickly add a gradient across the image. Other new color correction features include copy and paste of tracking data, motion effects including spatial and temporal noise reduction and motion blur effects.

DaVinci Resolve 10 allows rendering from the camera RAW file directly to the Digital Cinema Package files. (Purchase license from EasyDCP to enable this.)

Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design said, “With over 50 new features in DaVinci Resolve 10, this is the most exciting update in the entire 30 year history of DaVinci.”
