  • Resolve Light – Linux?

    Posted by Spencer Tweed on June 19, 2011 at 2:44 am

    Does anyone know if DaVinci Resolve light will be for Linux as well as Mac? I want to give it a test-run over at our facility, but don’t have any Macs laying around with enough GPU to really run it. I figure that it is much easier to throw Linux on my workstation (windows 7) and run it from there then to throw Mac on the workstation and try to run it Hackintosh.

    It seems like a long-shot, but its at least worth asking 😉

    Well I guess I can’t complain about a program that used to cost 6 figures, which is now basically free.

    From our NAB press release;
    To help promote the art of color correction, DaVinci Resolve Lite includes many powerful features found in the full version of DaVinci Resolve for an extremely powerful toolset that anyone will able to download. DaVinci Resolve Lite is based on the upcoming DaVinci Resolve 8, and will run on the latest model iMac, 17inch MacBook Pro, and Mac Pro computers.

    DaVinci Resolve Lite includes all the same high quality processing of the full DaVinci Resolve, however limits projects to SD and HD resolutions, only two color correction nodes, a single processing GPU and a single RED rocket card. Stereoscopic 3D features, noise reduction, power mastering, remote grading, and sharing projects with an external database server are features only offered in the full DaVinci Resolve so are not included in this free DaVinci Resolve Lite edition. Customers who want to eliminate these restrictions can simply purchase the full DaVinci Resolve Software for only US$995.

    Even with the restrictions of the free DaVinci Resolve Lite, image quality is never limited, and customers will see the incredible image processing quality of DaVinci Resolve. In addition DaVinci Resolve Lite can still accept high resolution source footage in 2K and 4K from the latest digital cameras from RED and ARRI, so customers get a fantastic digital camera utility.

    DaVinci Resolve Lite still includes high quality optical resizing, curve grading, XML import and export, 32 bit float processing, YRGB image processing, multi layer timelines, stabilization, window tracking, primary and secondary color correction, real time processing, capture and playback with deck control, compatibility with third party control panels and many more. With so many powerful features at absolutely no charge, customers will be able to experience the dramatic improvement to their work from using professional color correction.
