Blackmagic Design is presenting a big banner on their website that shows beyond the shadow of a doubt the upcoming new version of DaVinci Resolve 16.

Blackmagic is a company that doesn’t stop the inertia of innovation. Jump here to read all their innovative products announced one after another, which are relevant to all types and stages of productions ( cinema cameras) and post-reduction (DaVinci Resolve).

DaVinci Resolve itself has been undergoing multiple rounds of improvements and evolutions regarding its capabilities of color grading, editing, sound design, special effect and delivering.

The Banner says: “The revolution in editing starts at 9 AM PDT on April 8th, 2019” and it’s aiming for the impaired NLE capabilities of DaVinci Resolve.

DaVinci Resolve 16 as an NLE

There is no doubt that DaVinci Resolve is the industry standard regarding color grading. However, the software suffers from insufficient efficiency and limited capabilities when complex editing is needed. According to the banner on the Blackmagic Design website, that impaired NLE abilities are going to change as it seems that the company is focusing on elevating the software’s NLE strengths. The Banner says: “The revolution in editing starts at 9 AM PDT on April 8th, 2019” and it’s aiming for the impaired NLE capabilities of DaVinci Resolve.

It’s important to note that DaVinci Resolve is a great NLE software that got improved tremendously over the time, however, in complex timelines characterized with a lot of layers (especially when editing feature film), there are some crushes and speed issues. Glad to see that Blackmagic is making efforts in further developing DaVinci Resolve to polish those editing abilities of the software in order to transform it to industry standard NLE like FCPX, Avid, and Premiere.
