There are quite a few significant improvements, especially in the audio area, like the possibility to use VST and AU effects, more priority given to audio over video playback, a brand new audio track mixer, as well as new editing tools – multicam clips and compound or nested timelines plus any trim type that you can possibly imagine. The recent release of Resolve 12 is supposed to change that. After the initial waves of enthusiasm, Resolve editing faded into background and became little more than a curiosity. But I have not seen any projects edited purely from start to finish in Resolve 11. There were some brave souls who attempted to try it out on their projects, and even some universities decided to forego installing an NLE in their suites, in favour of Resolve. Regardless of the initial hype and of impressive initial toolset, editing in Resolve 11 was clunky, the experience far from seamless, and in the end not really suited to anything but casual editing or correcting bad conforms. With the release of version 11, Resolve started to aggressively expand from purely grading tool into non-linear editing.
Now it is attempting to take over your edit suite, and this is what I decided to focus on in my assessment. It’s simply a great, affordable grading tool, a worthy replacement of Apple Color. While this perk might have influenced my opinion about the company and the product, it’s no secret that I have liked Resolve for a long time, used it on my projects since version 9, and trained people how to work with it. Full disclosure: I was offered a full version of Resolve Studio from Blackmagic Design in exchange for this review with no other strings attached.
