DaVinci Resolve 12 Control

Exotic locations, far off places, and even entire worlds are created on the stages and inside the computers of major Hollywood film studios. Bringing it all together and making it look real requires the most powerful tools and the highest quality image processing. While DaVinci Resolve can be used as a stand alone software tool, adding a hardware control panel lets you work faster than ever before, while also dramatically expanding your creative options. Developed in collaboration with the leading post production facilities around the world, DaVinci Resolve is the only solution that gives colourists the tactile control they need to create realistic images that make us believe in what we see on television and the silver screen.

Colour Adds Emotion to Your Images

DaVinci Resolve control panels are designed to give you fluid, hands-on control over multiple parameters at the same time, so you can work faster and be more creative. The hardware controls are placed logically near your natural hand positions and are made out of the highest quality materials. You get smooth, high resolution weighted trackballs for making precise adjustments. All knobs, dials and buttons have been custom designed to feature the perfect amount of resistance, so you can accurately fine tune any parameter. Best of all, the hardware panels allow you to adjust multiple settings, such as lift, gamma and gain, all at the same time, giving you a level of creative control that goes far beyond what’s possible with a mouse.

Primary Correction Creative Controls

To take your colour grading to the next creative level, the DaVinci Resolve Mini and Micro panels include 12 dedicated primary colour correction control knobs. These are designed to make it easy for you to stylize the look of your images and generate precise “film looks.” All knobs can be pressed to instantly reset the control. That’s perfect for when you are trying an exciting new style but get a bit lost. Simply press the knobs to reset.

Y Lift

Adjust the contrast of the image in the darker areas, specifically in the Y (luminance) channel only. This adjustment is great for a changing the black point without changing saturation.

Y Gamma

Adjust the contrast of the image in the mid-tone areas, specifically in the Y (luminance) channel only. This control helps add depth to shots, along with extra vibrancy.

Y Gain

Adjust the contrast of the image in the brighter areas, specifically in the Y (luminance) channel only. You can reduce hot shots or pull the whites to make the shot look more angelic.

Colour Boost

Naturally raise the saturation in regions of the image with low saturation while leaving properly saturated areas alone. Sometimes referred to as a vibrance operation, this is great for adding colour without over saturating the image.

Shadows

Selectively lighten or darken shadow detail. Raising this value retrieves shadow detail while leaving the mid-tones untouched.

Highlights

Easily retrieve blown out highlight detail in high dynamic range media by lowering this parameter to achieve a smooth blend between the retrieved highlights and the unadjusted mid tones for a natural result.

Contrast

Increase contrast to make the blacks darker and the whites brighter, or decrease contrast to do the opposite. Use this to improve the dynamic range and make shots pop.

Pivot

Changes the center of tonality about which dark and bright parts of the image are stretched or narrowed during a contrast adjustment.

Mid-tone Detail

Increases the contrast of regions of the image with high edge detail to increase or decrease the perception of image sharpness and definition or when lowered regions of the image with low amounts of detail are softened while areas of high detail are left untouched. Great for softening facial features and popular for beauty shots.

Saturation

Increases or decreases overall image saturation. At higher values, colours appear more intense, while at lower values colour intensity diminishes and can be adjusted until all colour is gone, leaving a grayscale image.

Hue

Rotates all hues of the image around the full perimeter of the colour wheel. The default setting is 50, which retains the original unaffected distribution of hues.

Luminance Mix

Control the balance between the YRGB adjustments and Y only adjustments made using the Y channel lift, gamma and gain controls in the primaries palette or the un-ganged luma curve.

High Resolution Displays

The DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel and DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel feature bright full colour displays allowing full control over the massive creative toolset built into DaVinci Resolve. The displays show menus for the soft knobs and soft keys, as well as visual feedback of the knob adjustments in real time. Menus update to the current toolset automatically as you use DaVinci so you get the the quickest and most direct keys to every feature, and you never waste time searching through long complicated menus.

• Professional Trackballs

  Trackballs provide RGB balance adjustments for lift, gamma and gain, each with a master level control. The Advanced panel also features a dedicated RGB offset and master gain trackball to adjust the tint and brightness of the entire image. The trackballs can be set to work in either log or RGB with the touch of a button.

• Soft Knobs

  With 30 customizable soft knobs on the DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel and 8 on the Mini panel, you get super high resolution, flexible parameter adjustments that you can reset back to the default with a simple push.

• Illuminated Keys

  The buttons and keys on the DaVinci Resolve control panels illuminate when selected so you can easily see which controls are active. On the Advanced and Mini panels, the keys are also backlit, making it easy to clearly see each button in a dimly lit suite.

• Quickly Change Tools

  The DaVinci Resolve Advanced and Mini panels include dedicated feature buttons that let you quickly change tools so you don’t have to switch back and forth between the mouse and panel. With the push of a button you can easily access tools such as the RAW palette, primary colour correctors, curves, qualifiers, windows, tracker and more.

• Still Store Reference Management

  Colourists constantly grab and play stills to compare grades using the gallery. The DaVinci Resolve Advanced, Mini and Micro panels have dedicated keys to quickly save and recall stills. On the DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel you can also use the fader T-bar to wipe between saved stills and your grading timeline.

• Transport Controls

  The play forward, reverse and stop transport keys on all the panels give you full control of your project timeline or deck while the Advanced panel adds a jog/shuttle knob for faster and more precise scrubbing.

• Slide Out Keyboard

Technology and Creativity

DaVinci Resolve provides some of the most intelligent AI and advanced feature algorithms available in post production. These tools produce quick, accurate results that will elevate the visual quality of your project while saving you hours of time. The magic mask needs only a single stroke to locate and track people, features, and objects. Smart reframe repurposes footage to dramatically different aspect ratios by recognizing the action in a scene and panning within it. Tools like object removal and the patch replacer allow you to remove unwanted equipment from a scene with the click of a few buttons. Plus the tracker has been the industry leader for over 20 years.

Person Mask

The magic mask palette uses the DaVinci Neural Engine to detect people, tracking their movement in a shot. This person mask produces clean traveling mattes for secondary grades or effects. You can make characters stand out in an under lit shot, or invert the person mask and stylize the background.

SuperScale

This unique upscaling algorithm creates new pixels when increasing the resolution of an image. The newly generated data has more detail in upscaled images than standard resizing controls. Ideal for scaling archival footage into modern resolutions, or upscaling HD footage to match a 4K or 8K project.

Smart Reframe for Social Media

Now you can use 16:9 HD or Ultra HD and quickly create square or vertical versions for posting to Instagram and other apps. The DaVinci Neural Engine automatically identifies action and repositions the image inside a new frame so you don’t have to do it manually. You can even fine tune the results.

Stylize with OpenFX Library

The Open FX library features over a dozen stylize effects that can artistically modify the content of the image. Ranging from the creative, like pencil sketch, halation and abstraction, to the practical like blanking fill, these effects analyze the content of a shot to produce striking imagery.

Face Refinement

The sophisticated face refinement filter uses facial feature recognition to automatically detect and track faces. Use its many parameters for general beauty work, like skin smoothing, for correcting unflattering colour casts, and for retouching individual features like eyes, lips and cheeks.

Dead Pixel Fixer

Dead pixels in a camera sensor will often appear as static white dots and could affect hundreds of shots before they are noticed. Click on the white dots in the viewer, and the dead pixel fixer will use the surrounding pixel data to cover them up, rescuing your footage and preventing reshoots.

Object Removal

The perfect tool for covering up moving objects in an otherwise static shot, object removal analyzes a scene and uses the background information to paint out unwanted data. Create a Power Window on a new node, track the unwanted object, and link to the effect node. Watch it vanish before your eyes.

Patch Replacer

Sample an area of your scene to quickly cover up unwanted elements, like boom mics or even blemishes on a face. The patch replacer has a fantastic auto grading feature that will seamlessly blend the covered area with the surrounding colour data, even when there is movement or changes in the light.

Tools for Content Creators

Upload Directly to YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter

Link your social media accounts to DaVinci Resolve in order to upload videos directly to YouTube, Vimeo and Twitter as you export. Compression settings have been developed based on each site’s best recommendations, meaning your videos will be optimized for visual quality and playback speed.

Import ATEM Mini Projects

Live production projects from ATEM Mini ISO models can be opened as a timeline. The sync bin with multiview lets you fine tune edits from the original live production or even replace shots. You can use the ISO recordings from ATEM or relink to Blackmagic RAW camera files for finishing in Ultra HD.

Advanced Noise Reduction

Two powerful tools restore noisy digital footage, even if captured in low light. The GPU accelerated temporal noise reduction algorithm removes noise while intelligently retaining areas of high detail. While the spatial noise tool analyzes the remaining noise pattern to lift it from the image.

Optical Flow Speed Change

The advanced retiming algorithm analyzes a scene’s content, building new frames so you can slow down and extend the action in a sequence without repairing or blending frames into each other. Every frame created with optical flow is sharp, and intelligently constructed from existing visual data.

Mix 2,000 Tracks in Realtime

Fairlight Audio Core is a low latency, next generation audio engine that intelligently manages workloads by using all CPU cores. That means sound elements can be split into as many tracks as needed. You get up to 2,000 tracks, each with real time EQ, dynamics and 6 plug-ins, all on a single system.

Track and Follow Objects

The tracker palette lets you effortlessly follow objects and people to apply secondary grading or effects. When a window is placed on a subject, the tracker can follow its contents in 3D space, resulting in a quick and accurate mask. You can easily emphasize vital elements of a scene.

Colour Warper for Refined Grading

The mesh based warping tool lets you adjust two colour parameters at once. You can adjust both hue and saturation or chroma and luma. Adjustments are made by dragging control points, with smooth falloff for clean, natural looking adjustments. It’s a new way to transform colour in your images.

Hardware and Software Integration

Streamline your workflow with editing keyboards, grading panels and audio consoles designed to work with DaVinci Resolve software. Faster than just software, dedicated features are placed directly at your fingertips. Adjust multiple parameters simultaneously on the same panels used in Hollywood.
