Mac users also have the option to download Resolve (free) or purchase Resolve Studio through the Apple Mac App Store. It’s the only NLE to support three operating systems: macOS, Windows, and Linux.

(*This review was originally written right after the release of Resolve 14 in late 2017.)ĭaVinci Resolve 14 comes in two flavors, DaVinci Resolve 14 (free) and DaVinci Resolve Studio ($299). Right at the start, let me paraphrase the judges on History Channel’s Forged in Fire series – ‘This NLE can cut!’ If you have no prior allegiances to other editing platforms, then using Resolve as your NLE of choice is a no-brainer. I’ve reviewed Resolve in the past as a grading application, but my focus here is editing. Advanced editing functions and the inclusion of the Fairlight audio engine put Resolve on track to be the industry’s latest all-in-one post-production powerhouse. With the introduction of Resolve 14*, it’s clear that Blackmagic Design has set its sights higher. DaVinci Resolve has made its mark as one of the premier color correction applications for the film and video industries.
