Customizable interfaces
Whether you are new to video editing or have been using DaVinci Resolve for years, there are new customizable interfaces available for you. These new options make it easier for you to get the most out of this industry-leading color correction software.
The DaVinci Resolve interface is divided into different sections, highlighting the different stages of a post-production workflow. These include the Unified Color Grading panel, which features color wheels and curves for a powerful color correction workflow. The panel also includes exposure, contrast, and a Vectorscope Skin Tone line. Custom LUTs can also be used to color-grade video in DaVinci Resolve.
You can also customize the view of the timeline. New on-screen controls let you adjust motion paths directly from the timeline viewer. You can also expand, collapse and nest timelines. This allows multiple editors to work on different timelines at the same time. The Resolve interface is also easy to navigate, thanks to its intuitive design.
