With the release of Resolve 14 and the new collaboration features, do any of you know if there is a way to collaborate with people remotely? I only saw mentions of "shared storage." Just wanted people's take on this.

Thanks!

Such a feature in such an affordable piece of software would be groundbreaking.

From their intro video of Resolve 14 (image attached), I think this would be possible: if all the team members already have access to a copy of the footage files, syncing the edit, the color correction and grading and the sound mix should be no issue even with a standard internet connection. All those files are minuscule.

With all the professionals that are specializing around the world, being able to collaborate with different people in different places would push so many people into the same software.

I believe that assign a specific task to a particular user should be integrated as well, to prevent whoever does the color grade to, accidentally, modify the edit.

Just saw this, thank you!

Anyone know how this would work being in different locations?

See page 1343 in the manual for info about remote color.

Yes, that's an interesting part of the manual for sure, thanks.

While that's primarily focused on remote color grading, I'm trying to find an answer to use the collaboration features, editing included, of Davinci Resolve with people in different locations.

Any further thoughts?

If "your" people have good internet access (100Mbit+ lines) you can all work on one project with eg. ProRes LT assets stored eg. on S3. When project is done you link to final assets and export.
If you have very good internet then you can work on full quality assets like ProRes, AVC-I 100, etc. It should work fine for HD projects.
