Any clues on when it's available?

Edit: oops missed the Q3.

Well, a BIG THANKS from me as a start!
Fantastic news.
Cheers, Radman.

As it is said in the original post: available in Q3, so between July and September

I'm excited!!!

(where I can sign for the BETA NDA???)

Ditto would be useful stuff.

Amazing Peter! Congrats to you and your team. Is it Q3 yet?

that sounds very good! one question: with an easydcp license, would it be possible to make encrypted dcp's as well?

Astounding. Really mind blowing to see it all come together at once like that. The demo I received seemed like it was all working pretty well already. This is going to be a painful wait!

Hey Paul did you notice any specs of the machine they were running it on?

Do you mean Resolve 10 at NAB? Peter said this in another thread:

Peter Chamberlain wrote:You really want to get the 27" iMac with the fastest NVIDIA GPU and the most GPU ram. The new iMac top of the range model with 16GB CPU ram is the current choice.
We are using these to demo v10 at NAB and using a Thunderbolt array for media.
Peter

I'd love to know specs required for smooth live grading...

Wow, that alot of new feature and glad that its still available to current user. Is there any other 3D specific updates other than 3D editing? I am probably greedy, would the live feed grading be possible with Stereo feed?

It was a bunch of 27" iMacs they were doing demos on
With the upcoming plugin support - stronger, better, faster machines will be wanted
Please apple, new Mac Pro...
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57578 ... port-says/

I just got mine, bundled with the camera. (I got camera+software mostly for the 3D capabilities of Resolve which are far from working with Avid... ).
If they work, please post a tutorial with the complete workflow from Avid to Resolve in Stereoscopic 3D.

Now it seems that we should really able to do some S3D alignment and grading with version 10, is it possible to test a beta version?
I just invested on another software to finish the stereo workflow... and I won't use Resolve for grading this project... and I was really counting on it.
Not only I cannot use the software but also the camera that I got a month ago is suddenly obsolete...

Please help me to do my stereoscopic work!

Best regards,

I have a usb dongle licence come with BlackMagic Cine cam, will it able to use with this new version?

jiehowe wrote:I have a usb dongle licence come with BlackMagic Cine cam, will it able to use with this new version?

As has been posted a gajillion times all over the forum, yes the dongle will allow you to use 10.

I'm currently about to purchase a BMCC and one of the last things I'd like to sort out is that of the future live grade feature. I heard Dan at the Blackmagic booth mention (in a nextwave youtube video) that the Thunderbolt output from the cameras will be able to be used with this new feature. I haven't seen this discussed or mentioned anywhere, but a confirmation of that would be great. If that's the case, it's definitely yet another differentiating advantage to the models with the Thunderbolt connection. Thanks.

As for EasyDCP, here is Fraunhofer's press release:

I want to thank BMD for not pushing their beta version during the NAB courses.
I found it sad when the instructors (mostly Adobe centric ones) had (maybe?) to use beta versions during the instructional courses.
Sure it was great to see some of the upcoming tools but after talking to a few attendees, they felt slighted that they had to endure a beta and didn't get as much learning out of it.
I learned a lot but not as much as I should have due to the confusion of options not in the current software.

On another note, during the SuperMeet, the Amazing Alex was showing it off (a more suitable place I may add) and I nearly screamed when he dragged a clip from the media window into the viewer.
Out comes the old Edit Overlay style window.
No one else (that I noticed) laughed at what I thought was funny and cool, so I kept it in

I am pretty certain that Resolve 10 demo machine config was a Supermicro monster with 4 GPU's in the Tesla class.

The BM presenter (who did an excellent job) noted several times that the speed of many components of Resolve 10 would be even faster than what he was demoing.

4 each GPU's is a major investment though.

Checked out the Supermicro workstation booth at NAB and they are very nice Windows machines.
Our Resolve is still on a 2008 Mac workstation and getting long in the tooth now ... and with the continuing silence on a true MacPro tower revamp, I have been researching this pending move over to Windows. Only hold back is the lack of Windows support currently for Thunderbolt on a powerful workstation class motherboard. Pure nonsense.

A couple of things I didn't see in the New Features list:
1. Programmability of buttons on Tangent and other surfaces.
2. Ability to go directly from one of the multiple GPUs to a reference monitor via DisplayPort - eliminating having to have an extra card, SDI cables (and possible converter to HDMI), etc.

Any chance these things can make it into v10?

I was really excited to see what the new version of Resolve could do at NAB. When I got back I tried the current version, only to find out it didn't support the .MPG (Mpeg-2 / HDV) files generated by my Sony HVR-S270 camcorder. Can you add support for .MPG files before you finalize the features of v10? Otherwise Resolve won't work well for many people I know.

Thank you,
Marc

I'd like to second the request about better Tangent Element integration into Resolve 10. I guess it's not a headline feature but it would be so greatly appreciated!

A lot of very good points. Really impatient to try it.
As user of light Illusion LightSpace CMS to calibrate my monitoring with DaVinci Resolve and generate LUTs, I would know if BlackMagic confirm the integration in Q3 within Resolve v10 of this CMS. It would be a great thing

i would love to be able to move my mouse on the reference monitor. Drawing there, picking color etc.
A la Baselight.

I would just like to repeat a simple request for hotkeys to slip clips in the timeline a frame at a time.

When matching timeline clips to a reference movie, it is important to to be able to view both the reference movie and the timeline at the same time, while using hotkeys to slip the clip on the timeline to match.

The way it works now, you can view both the timeline and the reference movie. But if the timeline clip needs to be slipped you must use the mouse tool. It is very difficult to slip by single frames with the mouse. And you do not see the timeline clip update its picture in the viewer until you release the mouse, making it very difficult to match frames.

I would suggest shift-comma and shift-period as hotkeys for slipping the currently selected clip.
With each single frame slip you would update the Viewer.

Great feature!

Will it be available on all platforms? Any SDK/headers required to interface?

Cheers.

Yes, they should be released at the same time.

Resolve Live
• Grade Live incoming SDI video

That would be a crazy CCU for Atem, with defocus ?

The new editing tools make finishing in Resolve at 4K a real possibility.

Thanks BMD

Hello,

for my 2009 MacPro I'm considering a
- regular EVGA GTX680 4GB
or a
- Sapphire Radeon 7950 3GB Mac Edition.

Two questions:
- Will Noise Reduction be ported to OpenCL in v10?
- What affect to performance is expected from the new OpenCL in v10 regarding 7950 vs. 680?

THANK YOU and best regards,
Bernhard

I am looking forward to these:
1.S3D clip has frame offset function
2.Better S3D auto color match (SpeedGrade does much better now)
3.S3D edit can easily change clips for either eye.
4.EDL import can set for strict file name.
5. Timecode unmatch can manually solve.

Manhattan Edit Workshop has announced classes starting August 30th so that should give you some indication of the timeline

http://mewshop.com/courses/course_detail/ICA%20101:%20An%20Introduction%20to%20Colorist%20Strategies%20with%20DaVinci%20Resolve/

i can't wait to test it !

and what will "• 3rd party panel improvements" bring?

it would be the next major step for me, if i would be able to map
my panel myself! if the timecode and transport controls of my
cooper cx worked with davinci would be great as well!

and i would love to see neat video working within davinci!

thumbs up for the good work so far,

andy

Any update on likely availability yet? More than Q3 and even that 'Late'

I was wondering if it might be possible to use the picker function as a way to show what a color is by clicking on the image and have it show up as a point on a color wheel or something like that.

Excellent Peter Chamberlain.

PLEASE Could anybody from blackmagic tell us what are the Graphics requeriments for Davinci Resolve 10?

thanks,
