Free copy of Resolve with camera purchase

PostThu Jul 12, 2018 4:09 pm

Hello there.

I'm probably going to be buying Davinchi Resolve Studio before I get a Pocket Cinema Camera 4k. Since the free Studio version that comes with a Blackmagic camera is linked to the camera serial number, that will probably be the version of Studio I would want to keep once I get the camera.

What are camera owners with multiple copies of Resolve Studio doing with them? Should I get a dongle version to use till I get a camera and then sell/gift the dongle when I get the version linked to my camera? Should I just keep the extra copy in case I want to install Resolve Studio on multiple machines in the future?

I love the idea of getting the software I want with the camera purchase, but I doubt there will be any reduction in price if I already own a copy of Studio Resolve.

Folks like you usually sell the dongle.
No, an iGPU is not enough, and you can't use HEVC 10 bit 4:2:2 in the free version.

Buy fusion studio instead. Right now a fusion studio license will also run resolve studio. Then when you get your camera license, you'll havw both, even if they change their policy.
