I realize that I most likely have checked something that is premium, but I cannot figure out why my video has the watermark on it. How do I go about figuring out what is and what isn't premium?


A bit irritating to just throw it on there with making it known what is and isn't premium. Maybe black it out and ask if you want to use it.

Either way, I am done with the video, not knowing I had used something premium.


Any help on figuring out what I've done wrong would be greatly appreciated. A lot of work into this thing, thinking Resolve was free to use for basic use.

Thank you!

could be a few things, are you using noise reduction, motion blur or optical flow?
Or perhaps a certain ResolveFX?

It is pretty well documented what is part of the free version and what is part of the studio version and you get a pretty noticeable dialogue box appear whenever you use a feature that is studio only. The only way I could see this being an issue is if you started the project on studio and then moved it to the free version.

Since you haven't described what you've done, it could be difficult to tell what you've done "wrong". Some more information, such as the picture of the watermark, could help. Also, do a text search through the manual for "watermark" to see if that helps.

The simplest solution is just to spend the money and pay for Resolve Studio.
