The Cube Moved: Go for the Chaos (Ad) Vantage
Architecture Illustrators and Visualizers test Chaos Vantage for a narrative short and accidentally build a moving house. Unbox proves real-time previz can tell stories, not just sell floor plans.
Resolve Animation: Everything moves!
Resolve Animation? Well, everything is based on keyframes. Fusion adds power (and pain), 3D feels clunky. Still: motion graphics inside an editor? Works.
Blackmagic Rents out Resolve: Subscriptions in the Cloud
Resolve goes rental: Blackmagic now lets individuals rent DaVinci Resolve Studio via Cloud. Not a shift, but an optional offer.
Goodbye Adobe Premiere
I whispered, "Goodbye, Adobe!" as I pressed the unsubscribe button. To me it sounded very much like “Hasta la vista” but less dramatic. We had a good run, but it was time to move on.
Resolve 20 Leaves Beta
DaVinci Resolve 20 exits beta. Yes, that’s the news. The final version is now available from Blackmagic Design. Time to update, everybody.

Hardware for CineMon (et. al.)
After looking at the software side of CineMon, it's time to take a look at the hardware - whats good and what's not?
CineMon 1.0 (Beta) for iPad and Mac
The times of expensive hardware-based scopes are gone. Modern software scopes are versatile, flexible, and can be adapted to new technologies. Until now, Nobe OmniScope by Time in Pixels was the leading solution, both under Windows and MacOS. But there’s a new kid on the block for MacOS and iOS now, called CineMon (with a charming agnomination to a popular spice).

Animating images with Resolve
"Breathing life" into static images with effects from DaVinci Resolve - so-called Cinemagrams - are easy to do - and in our new series "Resolve Tricks for Beginners" we'll start with them!
Beauty-Grading in Resolve
Using software to approximate images of people to current conventions of beauty is work that has shifted more and more from compositing to the domain of grading. As the possibilities increased, so did the demands. Following on from the last article, which dealt with best practices in colour grading in general, we would like to take a very specific look at tips in the area of beauty and retouching. Here, too, we take the perspective of filmmakers who, for budgetary reasons, are "forced" to grade all or at least part of their films themselves and have already gained some experience in Resolve.
Wasn't everything better when video by definition was still in black and white? Since colour was added, it has only become more complicated - but what the heck, there are helpers for that!
Shutter Encoder – Multitool for video and audio
If you want to work with video on a machine that does not support all of today's codecs (preferably via hardware), you will often come up against limits. This ranges from a stuttering timeline to clips that are not displayed at all. Then there are the clips from smartphones, which are usually recorded with a variable frame rate. Professional editing systems usually don't like this either, which can lead to asynchronous picture and sound or even rendering errors.
Fallout becomes cinematic.
Paul Hatton catches up with Nikita Travnikov, an executive producer for Huuuge Games and 3D tinkerer - and we chat about the whole Fusion/Resolve pipeline!
Grading tricks from a professional
Many of you come into contact with colour grading time and again, whether intentionally or unintentionally. For example, when thinking about colours in the context of a VFX workflow or, like me, because it has become part of my job as a filmmaker in the image film sector. It would be perfectly conceivable to have this work step done by a professional colourist, but the budget is often not sufficient for this...
Tech demo or working tool? DaVinci Resolve on the iPad Pro
You would expect Apple itself to demonstrate the enormous performance of its tablet devices in practice. So far, only gamers have been able to utilise such an iPad, and they are rarely out and about with it. Otherwise, the many cores usually twiddle their thumbs. But instead of a port of Final Cut Pro X, Apple itself uses DaVinci Resolve in its own advertising, which has already been ported, albeit with a limited range of functions.
Can you seriously work with it?
Fire & Flame for Fusion?
Danasa Arsad, VFX artist and alumnus of the SAE Institute, explains how a real-looking fire can be staged - with fusion in DaVinci Resolve.
“Gyroscopes” for image stabilisation in post-production
Why do I put the term in parentheses? Because it actually refers to classic gyro stabilisation. The word is based on the Greek word for "circle" or "turn" - which is why the meat from the spit is also called Gyros in Greek.
