The free version of DaVinci Resolve is packed with more features than most paid software applications! You can use it to edit and finish up to 60 fps in resolutions as high as Ultra HD 3840 x 2160. You get extensive color grading tools including luma, HSL and 3D keyers, color warper and HDR tools, video collage, elastic wave audio retiming and more. Plus it now also enables collaboration so multiple people can work on the same project, all at the same time! Once you’ve learned how to use DaVinci Resolve and gain more experience, you can move up to DaVinci Resolve Studio. With over 50 advanced features, Studio includes DaVinci AI Neural Engine, additional Resolve FX, stereoscopic 3D and more!
DaVinci Resolve Studio
DaVinci Resolve Studio supports up to 120fps at a massive 32K resolution, as well as support for multiple GPUs for real time playback of professional 10-bit formats, and accelerated H.264 and H.265 hardware decoding and encoding. There’s a full suite of immersive audio tools, DaVinci Neural Engine AI voice isolation, music remixer and dialogue separator. It also includes Dolby Vision and HDR10+ grading and rendering, and 40 extra Resolve FX such as AI UltraNR noise reduction, SuperScale and de-interlacing. You also get workflow and media asset management integration, remote scripting API, and rendering and encoder plug-in support. Plus there’s full screen playback on a second monitor!
More GPU Acceleration
DaVinci Resolve Studio turbo charges your system’s GPU performance! Fully optimized for Metal and Apple Silicon unified memory GPUs on a Mac, or OpenCL and CUDA on Windows and Linux, plus you’ll get incredible performance gains with additional GPUs.

After Noise Reduction
Advanced Noise Reduction
DaVinci Resolve Studio includes some of the most powerful and sophisticated noise reduction. Temporal and AI spatial noise reduction tools can be used independently or together to help clean up and remove unwanted noise in virtually any image.

After Correction
Lens Distortion
DaVinci Resolve Studio includes a lens correction feature that allows you to analyze a clip and correct for spherical lens distortion or other aberrations. It uses advanced image analysis and processing algorithms for incredibly high quality results!
Professional HDR Scopes
The HDR scopes in DaVinci Resolve Studio are capable of measuring and providing detailed information about ST.2084 and HLG images. This allows you to replace the 10‑bit scale of the scopes with a scale based on nit values, or cd/m2, instead.
Stereoscopic 3D
DaVinci Resolve Studio features a complete set of tools for editing and grading stereoscopic 3D projects. You have total control over stereo specific clip properties such as convergence, floating windows, eye alignment, mastering and output.
Remote Monitoring and Grading
Remote monitoring allows clients to view a real time feed via computer, iPad or iPhone with extreme high quality! Remote grading lets you work interactively so that changes made on your DaVinci Resolve system are immediately visible remotely.
DaVinci Color Transform Language
Unlike LUTs, which rely on simple lookup tables, DaVinci color transformation scripts are GPU accelerated bits of code that directly transform images using combinations of math functions. That makes them extremely fast and non destructive.
Scripting and Automation
DaVinci Resolve Studio features support for both Python and LUA scripting, along with developer APIs that allow you to add workflow integrations and custom encoding options. This lets studios of all sizes create deeply integrated custom workflows.
Workflow Integration Plug‑ins
DaVinci Resolve Studio supports workflow integration plug-ins for connecting to local and remote asset management, automation systems and more. Users can write their own plug-in and interact with DaVinci Resolve's JavaScript APIs.
More Resolve FX
DaVinci Resolve Studio includes over 40 additional GPU and CPU accelerated Resolve FX! These include effects for adding lens flares and reflections, analog damage, sharpening and more. There are face and beauty tools for re-touching, along with image restoration tools for dirt removal, dust busting and de-flickering. Film Look Creator lets you add filmic color looks, film stocks, halation, grain, gate weave, split toning and more! Patch replacer lets you clone and paint out spots, and the object removal plug-in is used to remove entire objects from a scene! Feature film quality effect plug-ins can cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars, making DaVinci Resolve Studio incredibly affordable!
DaVinci AI Neural Engine
The DaVinci AI Neural Engine uses state of the art deep neural networks and machine learning to power many of the features found exclusively in DaVinci Resolve Studio. This includes facial recognition to populate bins based on the people in a shot, Super Scale high quality image uprezzing so you can create 4K and 8K images from HD sources, and speed warp retiming, including advanced optical flow for crystal clear, smooth speed changes. You also get incredibly high quality de-interlacing, magic mask for object isolation and tracking, smart reframe, object removal, scene cut detection and more! These powerful, yet easy to use AI tools solve complex, repetitive and time consuming problems!

Immersive 3D Audio
Immersive audio uses height, width and depth to surround the audience in a 360 degree sound field, adding a spatially creative dimension to audio mixing sound effects and music. DaVinci Resolve Studio supports high resolution 3D audio to work with spatial formats, and features import and export of the latest IAB and ADM files. Object based formats like Dolby Atmos and MPEG-H use panning automation to move audio objects, creating a realistic aural experience that scales based on the size of the theater. Ambisonics is fully supported, with resolutions up to 5th order. There is B-chain audio monitoring, a 3D panner and 3D Space View™ display to visualize each sound object’s location in space.
Dolby Atmos® Mastering
Fully integrated support for ground up creation of immersive 3D audio production, with 3D channels and buses from 5.1.2 to 9.1.6, remote RMU and DAMS and local Dolby Atmos Production Suite with AudioBridge.
Remixing External Productions
Dolby Atmos master production import from immersive .damf, .wav, .mxf files with support to decompose into original elements such as sources, buses and VCA groups. Export to Atmos Master ADMBWF, or IMF _AIB.
IMF Audio Deliverables
Support for adding audio to video via IMF containers with multiple simultaneous audio deliverables as IAB-MXF or .wav. Deliver selection is from timeline via a bus or track, or an existing file IAB file.
Expanded Format Support
In addition to all of the 8‑bit formats supported by the free version, DaVinci Resolve Studio lets you work with most professional formats. You also get support for advanced AVCHD, AVC-Intra and popular H.264 camera formats that use "all-I" intraframe encoding, and also 10‑bit encoding. For round trip workflows and output or delivery, DaVinci Resolve Studio adds support for IMF encoding and decoding, advanced HDR delivery in Dolby Vision and HDR10+ formats, digital cinema packages, or DCP, for theatrical distribution and more!
Dolby Vision® Mastering
Dolby Vision support includes a GPU accelerated version of the Dolby Vision CMU, content mapping unit, and free Dolby Vision grading controls. Access to advanced trim controls require a separate Dolby license.
Native IMF Encoding and Decoding
Create SMPTE ST.2067 compliant Interoperable Master Format (IMF) files for tapeless delivery to networks and distributors using Kakadu or Easy DCP. There are presets for generic, 20th Century Fox and Netflix.
DCP Encoding and Decoding
Native support for unencrypted DCP files lets you output and import unencoded DCP files for testing and validating playback of digital cinema packages. Support for encrypted DCP requires a separate Easy DCP license.
Encoder Plug‑in Support
Add additional and optimized rendering formats with 3rd party file format packs including XDCAM, XAVC, P2 AVC Ultra, P2 AVC Intra, HEVC/H.265 Main and Main 10 profiles, and even AS-11 compliant packaging.
