Fusion was previously available from Blackmagic only as a standalone program. The Resolve 15 Edit and Color panels have been joined in the toolbar by a Fusion dropdown menu, with effects that have been integrated over the last year. (DaVinci Resolve Studio is required for full DCI 4K and above, as well as frame rates above 60fps to 120 fps.)
The Media Pool panel handles ingest, accepting up to 8K, with deliverables of up to UHD. Promising a full pipeline workflow “from creative editing to final delivery”, with single-click access to each, Resolve 15 houses six pages to address editing needs for video, color, effects, and audio. (Keep your eyes on the New Products & Services column for a piece on a site visit with Digital Film Tree, who have done just that to create the fastest Resolve system in the world.) Those running Red Hat or CentOS Linux can build workstations with low cost motherboards, custom processors, expanded amounts of RAM, and up to 8 GPUs for incredible real-time performance as well as unlimited access to the shared storage of choice. Bins, clips and timelines can be locked through the DaVinci Resolve Project Server software manager, which tracks user changes and networked traffic. There is a built-in chat messaging as well as timeline compare tool to display where clips have been added, deleted, moved or trimmed.
