Blackmagic Design has announced the updated version of DaVinci Resolve 12.5.4 Update, the leading video editing and color correction application.
DaVinci Resolve 12.5.4 now supports the new Apple MacBook Pro Touch bar, and also Rec. 2100 and 2020 for high dynamic range workflows. The updated version of DaVinci Resolve 12.5.4 is now available for DaVinci Resolve and DaVinci Resolve Studio users, and can be downloaded for free from the Blackmagic Design website.
The new version of Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve adds compatibility with the new Apple MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. The Touch Bar is a Retina display touch strip at the top of the MacBook Pro keyboard that provides instant access to the most common tools when they are needed. When using DaVinci Resolve 12.5.4, the Touch Bar automatically changes to show the tools customers need in context to get their work done. For example, on the Media page, the user can instantly add the current clip to a folder, switch between thumbnail and list view, display clip properties, and search and view metadata simply by tapping the Touch Bar.
When editing video, the Touch Bar is context sensitive and displays commands based on your selections. Users can quickly switch between trim modes, navigate the timeline, and perform different types of edits without using the mouse or pull-down menus. Colorists can use the Touch Bar for everything from adjusting primary sliders and color wheels to changing midtone detail, saturation, hue, and more.
The DaVinci Resolve 12.5.4 update provides new support for Rec. 2100 when using DaVinci Resolve Color Management. Rec. 2100 is a superset of Rec. 2020 that defines high dynamic range (HDR) formats, such as SMPTE ST. 2084 (PQ) and Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG). It also adds new settings for controlling Dolby VisionTM resolution data.
Additionally, it provides support for Grass Valley HQ and HQX codecs for Apple Mac, Windows, and Linux, preserves super white and sub black data when working with ProRes 4:4:4:4, adds MP3 decoding on Windows, better support for CR2 files for Canon 5D Mark IV cameras, and improved EXR decoding and playback performance.
