info on blackmagic apps

PostSat Apr 27, 2024 8:44 am

Hello, when I downloaded Davinci Resolve I have a lot of other apps in my desktop which I don't think I am using.
such as black magic proxy generator lite
blackmagic raw speed test
blackmagic raw player
davinci control panels set up
fairlight studio utility

do I need all these for davinci resolve to run, or I can delete them?

thanks a lot

If I were you, I'd leave them all there. They don't take up that much room.

No, yes.
What the programs does:
black magic proxy generator lite: Generates proxies (easier to edit derivative versions of your source footage)
blackmagic raw speed test: Benchmark that shows how fast is your computer is, in terms of what blackmagic raw files and framerates you can comfortably edit
blackmagic raw player: Viewer of blackmagic raw files. Think of it as a specialized version of VLC/IINA/(whatever the default media player is) that only shows blackmagic raw files
davinci control panels set up: For controlling panels (https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/dk/pro ... lve/panels ).
fairlight studio utility: For the fairlight add in card that lets you use 1000 audio tracks at once.

So, in short: Unless you use or have a use case for them specifically (that is, have the addon hardware or work with blackmagic raw files), you don't need to install them (and can uninstall them with no problems)
Davinci Resolve Studio 19B2 Build 25, Windows 11, Nvidia 3060 TI, 552.22 Studio
