Why Professionals Choose It
Color That Looks Like Cinema
The look of a film lives in the grade. DaVinci's color page is the same one colorists use to finish blockbusters — and it's in your hands from the first download. Sculpt mood with curves, isolate a subject with a power window, and trust scopes that show you exactly what's happening in every pixel.
Pro color wheels & curveswith HDR and wide-gamut support.
Real-time scopes— waveform, vectorscope, and parade for precise matching.
AI Magic Mask & trackingisolate subjects without manual rotoscoping.
GPU-acceleratedplayback for real-time 8K with multi-GPU support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is DaVinci Resolve really free?
Yes — completely free, with no watermarks, time limits, or feature locks. The free version includes professional editing, color, Fusion VFX, and Fairlight audio. It's the same engine the paid Studio version runs on.
What does the Studio version add?
Studio unlocks 8K support, HDR grading, advanced AI tools (like better noise reduction and Magic Mask), multi-user collaboration, and extra Fusion/Fairlight features — all for a single $295 payment, not a subscription.
What are the system requirements?
It runs on Windows 10/11, macOS 12+, and Linux. We recommend at least 16GB of RAM and a dedicated GPU for smooth playback — color and Fusion lean heavily on graphics power, so a good GPU makes the biggest difference.
Can I hire someone to edit or grade for me?
Absolutely. Our certified Resolve editors and colorists can take your raw footage and deliver a finished cut and grade — ideal when the deadline is tight or the project calls for a specialist's eye. Reach out below for a free quote.
