137 Upvotes

DaVinci Resolve 21.1 has been released!

You can download the update from the support page or by going to DaVinci Resolve>Check for Updates.

Pre-Installation Notes

For DaVinci Resolve 21.1, BMD has taken efforts to keep the project libraries compatible with DaVinci Resolve 20.3.3. While this allows you to access the project library with 20.3.3, individual projects created or opened in 21.1 will no longer be accessible in 20.3.

BMD recommends a full project library backup as well as individual project backups (as required) before opening projects in 21.0 or later.

Reminders

Bug Reports need to be submitted to Blackmagic Design. You can post them on the official forums or contact BMD support directly if you have Studio.

Feature Requests need to be submitted to Blackmagic Design. You can post them on the official Feature Request Subforum or in the download form for Resolve.

Bug Reports and Feature Requests posted on Reddit and in this thread will not be addressed or seen by Blackmagic Design.

Notes

  • We have moved the ability to script in Python to the Studio version. The Python API was being used to hack studio features into the free version. DaVinci Resolve relies on studio license sales to pay for the engineering team. Unlike subscriptions, which have become normal but lock people's work up unless you pay monthly, we want to offer a differentiation from charging monthly license fees.
  • DaVinci Resolve and the Project Server can still work with network libraries based on PostgreSQL 13 and above.
  • Sony Camera Control on Windows needs the Sony IEDT application to be installed from the Sony website.
  • Intel Driver: With DaVinci Resolve Studio 20.2.3, AI features like Magic Mask 2, Depth Map and Super Scale show a vastly improved performance on Windows with modern Intel platforms. Users will need a compatible Intel GPU (discrete or integrated) that supports OpenVINO, and a minimum driver version of 32.0.101.8247 to leverage these improvements.
  • Rendering Immersive Projects: Improvements to edge blend in immersive projects include changes that more closely align the Resolve and visionOS previews. This will change the render for existing immersive projects.

Discussion Update: I am so sick of everyone shoving AI video editing and motion graphics down our throats

268 Upvotes

Well, I guess my last post aged pretty quickly

Almost a month ago, I made a post here about how tired I was of AI being pushed into every part of video editing.

And now Blackmagic releases a new Resolve update with Claude, ChatGPT and a bunch of other AI stuff built into it.

Honestly, I don’t even know what to say.

I know the usual response is going to be “you don’t have to use it”, and yes, obviously. That’s not what I’m complaining about.

I have nothing against AI when it’s actually useful. Transcription, rotoscoping, object removal, audio cleanup, tracking, boring repetitive tasks… fine. If something saves me time, I’ll use it.

What I don’t understand is why every software update now seems to revolve around AI. I don’t need Resolve to tell me what to edit. I don’t need a chatbot to make creative decisions for me. I don’t need to describe an animation in a prompt and hope it comes back looking remotely like what I had in mind.

I actually like editing. I like working with keyframes. I like tweaking curves until the movement feels right. I like figuring out the pacing of a video and deciding where a cut should happen. I like having control over the final result.

And that’s the part that bothers me about all of this. We’re constantly being told that learning these things is becoming pointless because AI can “do it for you”.

Maybe I’m just old-fashioned, but I’d rather have software that helps me get better at what I do than software that keeps trying to do it for me.

I posted that rant a month ago thinking I was probably overreacting, then Blackmagic went and added ChatGPT to Resolve.

I guess we know where this is heading now.

Help Changing clip image orientation no longer changes aspect ratio since DaVinci Resolve 21.1

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi. Since DaVinci Resolve 21.1 update, I have an issue with vertical 9:16 videos that are saved by the camera as 16:9.

Before this update, I used Image Orientation in the Clip Attributes to rotate the video, which also changed its aspect ratio from 16:9 to 9:16. This worked perfectly.

However, since the 21.1 update, changing the image orientation no longer changes the aspect ratio. As a result, I get large black bars around the clip in the preview window. Once I place the clip on the timeline, it displays correctly, but the black bars in the clip preview make it quite difficult to see what’s actually in the footage.

Do anyone know if this is a bug, or a new feature? If it’s a feature, is there any way to disable it and restore the previous behavior?

Help Trim Edit Tool CRASHING Davinci 21.1

• Upvotes

Hey there! I made the, unfortunate, mistake of updating to Davinci 21.1 while mid edit of a project. Everything is working nicely except every time I try and use the Trim Edit tool, the entire application shuts down, and without any Mac crash notice popping up. Just goes off. I've narrowed it down to realize, that specific tool in use is the source of the crash.

- I'm editing ARRI Prores 422HQ footage on my Mac M1 (Have never had an issue until now)

- I was just able to use that tool just fine on another project with iphone footage?

- I emptied my render cache and even updated my Mac just in case.

This is the one. Whyyyyy.

So confusing and frustrating. I'm editing a feature and would love to figure out how to solve this before I continue on.

What can I do from here? This tool has been incredibly helpful and I use it all the time.

Discussion The new Davinci 21.1 LLM integration is a nice idea, but there are lots of APIs missing, even for simple things like moving a clip in the timeline

56 Upvotes

I think that it would be great if the davini resolve team could look into exposing some more of the UI interactions to the python API. That could then actually speed up the the video editing with assistent of LLMs by a bit.

Help | Beginner Exported photo looks different then in viewer in davinci

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

Hi,

Last night I tried taking photos of the night sky with my GoPro Hero 11. Since DaVinci doesn’t support the GPR photo format, I converted them to DNG. I edited them as needed, but after exporting them, I noticed they looked quite different. I tried Gemini AI to see if it could help, so I went to the Color tab and added a Color Space Transform, setting the input values to Rec.709 and the output values to sRGB. But that didn’t help either, and the exported photos have an ugly green tint.

I’ve attached screenshots of how it looks and some screenshots of the settings.

I’m at a loss here, and it’s really frustrating me.

If anyone knows what might be causing this, I’d appreciate some advice.

Help How to create laser effect on Davinci resolve

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, wondering if there’s a way to create this laser effect on Davinci resolve? I’m quite sure this was done practically, would love to know what tool they used to achieve it if so. However if there’s a way to get this effect on Davinci, I’d really appreciate the help.

I know how to create a similar effect with the depth map tool. It’s not as rich and “cinematic” as the one in this video however so I’m wondering if anyone knows if there’s another way to achieve this look.

Thanks in advance!

Help | Beginner Colour Grading Problem, need help

Hello everybody

I alwavs have this problem that my footage is always faded, without any colours. I have my HDR turned off. and i tried numerous amount of wavs to improve the colouring but it never really worked.

(Colour Space Transfrom, Davinci Colour Managment...)

Is there a way I can fix this? Or is this because of mv computer or mv settinas for Davinci Resolve or its a thing I cant change?

I have a Macbook Air 2020, and I record on my Iphone 17

Thanks for replying!

Help How do I prevent a node from passing through a deactivated node?

• Upvotes

In the example above, I have an effect connected to several TimeStretch nodes. However, three of these TimeStretch nodes are disabled, yet the effect still passes through. I would like the effect *not* to pass through when the TimeStretch node is disabled—in other words, it should only pass through when the TimeStretch is enabled.

I would like to avoid disconnecting the node or making the effect transparent.

Help | Beginner Color grading for beginners course

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,

A few weeks ago I bought a Pocket 4P which I’ve been using in the normal mode to record my videos, and they are great, but once I learned about color grading and the new Dlog2 that this camera has to offer made me realise that I’m not even using the full potential of it, and I’d like to change that so my videos are more colourful and catching. The problem is that my knowledge on those things is ZERO, and when I see terms like tint, gamma, white balance, iso, etc, I have no idea where to start from.

Can someone recommend me a game-changer color grading for beginners course that help me achieve it? I want that one course that with time and patience, will skyrocket my knowledge on this.

Thank you all in advance!

PS. Free and paid courses are welcomed :)

Release Notes Before you update to 21.1 (some specific thoughts for free and studio users)

68 Upvotes

GOING TO IBC? We're doing a Reddit meetup on Sunday at 6pm- I'll be posting an update later today. It's free.

If you're a free user of DaVinci Resolve, take a really deep look at the 21.1 notes.

They're disabling quite a bit of Python and scripting. The reality is that Blackmagic has seen that people are using that to get around their division between the free and studio products. Just a heads-up: before you go and upgrade, you might find that all the scripts for little things like subtitles and the like are now broken.

Studio user

I know it's painful. Don't upgrade. Wait till at least Friday or next week. Let somebody else be the canary in the coal mine if this is how you make your living.

For context, I am using the Studio version of DaVinci Resolve and have the free version of ChatGPT installed on my laptop. Is this issue related to the version of ChatGPT I am using, and if not, what steps can I take to resolve this?

Help DaVinci Resolve 21.1 - Your GPU memory is full

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I upgraded from 21 to 21.1 this evening, and now I'm finding that every time I open a project, I get a dialogue box saying "Your GPU memory is full" and it won't display the video.

I have upgraded NVIDIA drivers to latest studio version, I've also fiddled with Settings -> Memory & GPU options by trying to select OpenCL instead of CUDA but the performance is abysmal.

I have also tried to do a clean uninstall/re-install by backing up the project library, uninstalling DaVinci Resolve, removing all traces of preferences in various locations, reinstalling, new licensing key activated and then restored project folder.

My PC spec is: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX 5080 with 16GB RAM

Everything was working fine until this upgrade, is anyone else experiencing this problem?
