Darren there’s a lot of people using the Mac Studio M2 Ultra. I think a video on how to optimise Davinci for your Mac for the smoothest play back, the most efficient caching, back up etc would be really handy
OK, with 9 thumbs up so far maybe!! Please hit the like button if you want this and I'll keep an eye on this comment! Thanks for suggesting. I have a Mac M2 Studio Ultra in the suite
Why anyone would use another editor is beyond me! This company is doing things right! They don’t make one thing , than slack. They keep on killing it, over n over! Well done BMAGIC
I feel like that color slice tool is a direct response to some of the DCTL's that have come out over the last year or so, giving people the ability to make more granular changes. I think blackmagic is keeping their ears to the street.
It's basically the tetrahedral interpolation DTCL, where by syncing the rgb sliders in a certain way, you can obtain effects of density, hue shift an saturation. it's funny that as I write this comment I am modifying the DCTL to have those controls and this video pops up in my feed!
This DaVinci Resolve update is just unbelievable. Remix tool just too smooth to be true. And can't wait to check the accuracy of the skin tone wheel on color slice panel
I'm sooo glad I didn't buy the over-priced dehancer software. I'm actually excited about the film simulation and now it's included in a software I already bought DR. Nice update
The node stacks is definitely a game changer for me, before this i constantly have to disable certain nodes and copy/paste grade, then go into those nodes and start tweaking them again… This node stack feature saves so much time.
I'm an audio engineer and I'm blown away by the music remixer. Judging from this short demo, it wrecks just about everything on the market right now with the exception of LaLaAI, which is similarly game-changing. However, the real test is determining how clean it can extract a vocal from a mix. Looking forward to trying it out!
Love these new features and really want to play with the node stacking. Can you possibly do a future video going over how you use groups and the best way to optimize your workflow with pre and post clips? Thanks a lot for your amazing tutorials as always!!
Wow agree that the stacks looks amazing. So well organising. I use pre and post group more than timeline since you can adjust the look at a scene by scene basis.
this is similar On the _ pre resolve console like toybox days secondary color was called kilovectors with 4 maybe 4 windows. so its nice to see this back . Their was kind of a page like this . Kilovectors was just a angle or a degree. it was so on film to tape. and we graded live as we had no hardrives. now it so nice to see millions of users.
Testing out tne new Colour Slice feature and found it was adding noise / breakup to the edits. DCTL's that achieved the desired affect were not creating noise / damage to the clip like this. Needs a blurring or roll-off slider to compensate.
Many users may only need to perform basic color correction and grading tasks, such as adjusting exposure, contrast, saturation, or applying creative looks. In these scenarios, a simplified interface that consolidates common color adjustments into a single node or panel could be more user-friendly and efficient. One potential approach could be to introduce a "Basic Color Grading" mode or panel that consolidates common adjustments into a single interface, while still allowing users to switch to the traditional node-based workflow for more complex grading tasks. This could strike a balance between simplicity and advanced functionality, catering to both novice and experienced colorists.
Been jonesing for the Mononodes DCTLs ever since your video about them, but haven’t been able to justify the cost. So color slice and film look creator are making my dreams come true.
Thanks for all the info Darren! Super stoked on the organizational/workflow options the Layer Stacks open up. Also excited to play with the Color Slice tool and I'm curious how it compares to the Mononodes Color Shift DCTL and other similar DCTLs that can be used to manipulate color density. I was hoping that BMD was going to introduce native density adjustments so I'm excited about this and looking forward to testing it...once I feel it's safe to upgrade of course.
Agreed on wondering about a comparison - I think a lot of people are wondering! I was super close to buying the Mononodes DCTL and curious if that is pointless now.
Never been much of an audio guy but the substractive saturation is giving me buttefly feelings in my tummy. Lots lf Ansel Adams things in those effects
Love these new features. I was really considering buying some DCTLS for this exact color control but now its going to be built right in! Love these updates but the one thing I am still waiting for is the music remixer like in premiere pro where I can make a song longer or shorter.
This is outstanding!!!! BMD just stepped it many notches up, thanks for the quick skimmer Darren👍Great break down on the different sectors on how to use a node tree more efficiently
I'm just learning how to use Resolve Studio, but as a musician I see a couple things already I could have explored a few weeks ago trying to edit fan videos of our shows. 19 is full of surprises. This new Remix tool might be helpful when you only have one or two camera audio tracks of a music show you'd hope to archive. Gives you the opportunity to tweak things a little more than you could before. One or two steps beyond simple EQ ya know? Look out Peter Jackson, here we come! Ha! Ha! But I digress... this was about Color.
Darren, I think it's great that Blackmagic adds these tools. How do you decide on when to use a certain grading method over another? Between Primaries, HDR, color slice? Does the hardware Blackmagic sells essentially point to what is foundational? Do the DaVinci Resolve Panels interact with all software-based methods? I'm asking in the context of buying the new Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel and whether learning it is the best path for someone to get good a color grading.
I like the new tools that have came into resolve. Tho I don’t really see myself using the color splicer much. At least for the time being. Still so many tools to get used to and master first.
Dear Darren, greetings from Norway. I would like to appeal to your expertice and informative knowledge. When it comes to colour you are for sure one of my absolutely favorite channel for Davinci, I love all your episodes. As a novice/beginner colourist for professional underwater video's I often struggle with knowing/determinate what is the correct colour. Example: How blue is the ocean, how green is it. Expanding on this, how do you tell if the colour red is correct red, how yellow is yellow etc. Or how do you tell if grey is 18% percent and so on. I find adjusting colour difficult as I tend to lean more on estetics than what might be correctly defined. I am working on an Asus ProArt pa279cv monitor, so the colour calibration and nits I think is good enough. When it comes to underwater photage, you may not know this but colours disappear with depth. First goes red, then orange, then yellow then green and so on. So colouring underwater photoage can be difficult, but it basically comes down to adding color back in to the mix. Question is, when is blue water correct, green water green or even how much magenta and red should I add in. Is there a golden way to understand defined colors correctly? I am a fan of @joannakustra and learned a lot from her, but that is more in line of photography. So do you have any videos on this topic or could you make one Darren? It would really help to understand and perhaps get a more solid base.. Thank you in advanced.
Great video thanks for going through this! The Color Splitter seems to be going straight for a lot of the DCTL plug ins, I've really loved my color density saturation tool but this looks WAY better. Node Stacking is going to be soooo great for working on complex node trees on my laptop, breaking it up nicely so I'm not struggling to move things around. Can't wait to try this!
Awesome update. I’m looking forward to more tutorials from you on the new features!! What you showed; however, look awesome I do a fair amount of music videos and The music editing is going to be awesome for me!!
Wow, incredible and unexpected, I'm currently on the blackmagic page reading about all the new features in Resolve 19! Thanks for the insights in the color grading regards. One thing I would like to make you aware of: I think you are almost to good, so when you are correcting, you make amazing subtle changes. Only problem is, most of that stuff gets lost on youtube (and to the untrained eye), so I would encourage you, if you show stuff like the copying of grades, be more dramatic and overcorrective on your changes. We know that your ability to grade is amazing, but for a short demo, I think it's more helpful to be able to quickly understand what is happening. The demo on the color slice was easily noticable and great, but the grade change when you copied the node/grad during the Node Stack segment got completely lost for me, I couldn't see and difference 😅 Thanks as always for your amazing videos!
Thank you very much for putting all the effort into your videos. Really appreciate that thanks to your videos I am able to learn more and more abour color grading even some topics that I initially thought were too complex for me (e.g color management). Helps me to improve step by step!
it seems to me that color slice is basically the Tetra DCTL with some code under the hood to automatise the rgb slider offsets to get the effects of density , hue shift and saturation. The funniest thing is I am modifying the tetra DCTL code myself (as i write this comment! ) to obtain the same effects on the RGB sliders and this video pops up! :D
Love the stems feature for audio. There are a number of audio plugins and online apps that'll split audio but I have a feeling Blackmagic's stem extractor is going to be superior. Hopefully.
Great additions! Like many other colorist I was using the Tetra DCTL and the Color Slice is really great! The Film creator is also very cool for those who did not purchase Film Convert or Dehancer Pro. Subtractive saturation at last! No more HSV single channel node to add ^^. What would be amazing is the capacity of making very accurate 1/48 motion blur effect out of a higher shutter speed by simply analysing the sequence or just indicate the shutter speed manually. The update is only showing the 18.6.6 version. Maybe that's because I'm in France and is not available yet?
Can you possibly go into detail about what's actually happening when you color space override in the FLC effect? I'm having trouble visualizing what's actually happening and what it's for.
I'm usually a little skeptical about new things. I always prefer to wish they would fix the flaws in the basic ones, but I think the Resolve team really delivered and totally surprised me! I think that thanks to Color Slice, DCTL developers will have to cheapen their plugins. There's still a lot to work on and since they decided to go the route of splitting colors by skin, they should have continued to do that and made the grass that is between yellow and green and the sky that is between blue and cyan. this is what I keep running into when working with HUE curves.
First thing after watching the livestream was to stream your take - and once again you don’t disappoint. I understood many of the features a lot better with your explanations! Would love to know your view on the new Micro Color Panel. Seems like a great option for enthusiasts? Hopefully they have on show at NAB. Have a brilliant time in Vegas (I did many CES events in my time) and look forward to your follow-ups.
Darren, can you show examples of how we could combined the new Film Look Creation tool, with the older film emulation LUTs in resolve? Do these separate tools actually improve the film look when combined?
One of the best Look Development inovations of Resolve 19 is the Normalize button beside each matrix of the RGB mixer! Also, there are global adjustments in that Color Slices tab, leading for easy density and subtrative saturation with custom pivot of highlight preserving dynamics. Being a colorist these days are becoming progressively less about technical knowledge of how to create custom tools and more about artistic expression. Scary, but shows that the AI generation will not affect us while we keep on being artistic and have good judgement.
This is amazing! Can't wait for the non-beta version to come out. I'm working on some projects right now, so I'm sticking with 18.6 until then. Any estimate on when the non-beta will be released?
I guess you were provided an advance copy or you are extremely fast - love all the new stuff. I just downloaded and one of the things that I have been mentioning to Resolve team over and over is for them not to forget fixing the face refinement tool - I saw Daria scratched the surface on it in the preview and it looked as though she was able to edit the tracking. The tool I always thought had a lot of potential but made me stop trying to use it was that the tracking wasn't editable. So fingers crossed. have fun in Vegas - say hi to everyone for me. Cheers.
Thanks for the great video! Question, the title "music remixer" can you do a tutorial on that text block? I love the glow, font and way the individual letters appear.
What sorcery is that remixer tool?! I guess it will damage in some way the instrumental parts by removing the similar frequencies shared with the vocals but still, truly amazing.
Thank you, Darren! I know these take a lot of valuable time, but you've taught me and others tons. Any idea whether these new features will be reflected in the Mini Panels? Hoping so.
HI Darren, I am enjoying watching your well produced video as I am transitoning from Premiere Pro to Davinci. Though one feature I really enjoyed, not to say was essential to my workflow, was the ability to customize my workspaces and the windows for when I am working with 1, 2 or 3 monitors. And I am not seeing this feature in Davinci, I have been searching on YT but all I see is something about dual screen, Which is ok, but it still has a set layout and doesn't give me a possibility to personalize it to my liking. Is there a secret about it you can uncover? Especially when color grading, I do want to expand my clip and have occupy half of my screen.
Darren, you are awesome! Before opening the Beta, I came straight to your page to hear your thoughts on Resolve's newest features. Thank you for all your help! Also, I was wondering if you could make your node tree stack an available Powergrade?
Thanks for kind words. My node tree is available if you sign up to my free email list (in the decription) but haven't created a node stack version as yet.
Darren please ! I can’t attend this event in USA .Could you please ask Black Magic developers if they gonna improve planar tracker in Fusion ? I’m using a planar tracker a lot and I think it’s needed a good update 😊
Looks awesome! I kinda wish the Remix tool was something more like Adobe's where it can make a song longer, but this is also nice. Especially if you don't have stems and you want to cut out vocals or drums or any other instruments. Looking forward to your future videos, Darren. Cheers from Bulgaria!
Thank you for the first insights! The features are looking amazing, but, I am curious if my machine can handle all the new stuff. Maybe it's time for a hardware upgrade...
Thanks Darren - Q - do you suggest we upgrade or wait for the final version? I'm in between episode edits - a new Eps starts next week after we close the current one?
Dont upgrade during jobs IMO. Its first version beta. Id wait at least for a 19.1 or 19.2 and then only after a job is complete. Back up everything first of course.
Excited to hear your deep dives on the new features! I have a question about the new film look FX. Do you know if we still need to do a CST to Cineon Film Log before the FX please?
Perfect, thank you! So if I'm correct it should be best to place last in the chain right before using the CST to change from Davinci Wide Gamut to Rec707 Gamma 2.4 so that any changes made are within the wider colour space?
Hi mate, awesome video as always! Hope you’re having a good time! I’ve just got back from birthday celebrations and trying to type is challenging but couldn’t wait for your video on this update. Seems BM have pulled out some awesome features with this update. Thanks again! Mark.
Hey Darren, I've just learned to be color-space aware in Resolve and I'm really struggling with how to make skin-tone adjustments in a Group workflow, when the rec.709 conversion is the last node in the stack. I want all skin-tone selections to be on the Clip level, but with my DWG>709 node being the very last node, I'm forced to use Log for selections, which has proven difficult. How do you typically go about correcting skin-tones when using a workflow that incorporates Grouped Node stacks? Any help you could give me would be really appreciated! Currently, I have my node tree as follows: Group-Pre Clip> Noise reduction then Converts to DWG Clip > Primaries and individual adjustments Group Post Clip > Look DNA and additional creative adjustments Timeline > DWG into Rec.709
Darren, your video may have been fast and furious, but your eloquence in teaching made me understand all of it, especially the Node Stack. 👌🏽
Im pleased to hear it - as thats the hardest part to explain! Glad it worked then!
Darren there’s a lot of people using the Mac Studio M2 Ultra. I think a video on how to optimise Davinci for your Mac for the smoothest play back, the most efficient caching, back up etc would be really handy

I have a M2 Max Mac Studio and that tutorial would be a huge help. Thanks in advance.
I was going to ask the same question, as someone thinking about the M2 Ultra it would be great to hear what you think of it
OK, I'll try and do this episode soon - thanks for liking!
Why anyone would use another editor is beyond me!
This company is doing things right! They don’t make one thing , than slack. They keep on killing it, over n over! Well done BMAGIC
I just love to love Resolve. Best software, best company. And still free.
Sadly rumours are down the line pay subscription for AI features or use base studio version.
@@rawcreative all ai features are in studio only and there's no subscriptions and most likely will never be considering the BM ceo is against it.
@@rano12321 I can only hope so. Google for the first time are considering subscription to pay for their own AI search engine.
@@rawcreative There is no need for subscription, because the AI runs locally.
You just gotta effin love Davonci!! The ampunt of development, benefits for the industry are off the charts!
I feel like that color slice tool is a direct response to some of the DCTL's that have come out over the last year or so, giving people the ability to make more granular changes. I think blackmagic is keeping their ears to the street.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. This looks like it works way better than the DCTL version too.
I agree! Always listening always updating
The DaVinci team saw dehancer and mononodes and said...yes!
This is what I’m saying!
Dehancer is still supreme though but mononodes they are finished. Neat video is also still supreme
haha so true!
@@warfaceindiablackburnfire330 agreed! I still prefer dehancer.
This DaVinci Resolve update is just unbelievable. Remix tool just too smooth to be true. And can't wait to check the accuracy of the skin tone wheel on color slice panel
I am so glad I found your channel. Everything is understandable, clear, and fast at the same time. You are a great teacher. Thank you!!
I'm sooo glad I didn't buy the over-priced dehancer software. I'm actually excited about the film simulation and now it's included in a software I already bought DR. Nice update
Just to clarify - Dehancer has film stock emulation, film look creator doesn't. They are quite different.
The node stacks is definitely a game changer for me, before this i constantly have to disable certain nodes and copy/paste grade, then go into those nodes and start tweaking them again…
This node stack feature saves so much time.
I'm an audio engineer and I'm blown away by the music remixer. Judging from this short demo, it wrecks just about everything on the market right now with the exception of LaLaAI, which is similarly game-changing. However, the real test is determining how clean it can extract a vocal from a mix. Looking forward to trying it out!
Thx Darren. As a musician all I can say: This rocks!
Very slick presentation without the shenanigans others do, thanks. Going to enjoy all the other tutorials.
Glad you like them!
I LOVE The film look feature so much! It basically layers everything for you as if you were doing it in the Color Page. I can't wait!!!
Love these new features and really want to play with the node stacking. Can you possibly do a future video going over how you use groups and the best way to optimize your workflow with pre and post clips? Thanks a lot for your amazing tutorials as always!!
of course! My LIVE 4 day masterclass will be announced in the next few days so I'll be covering it in that for sure.
Amazing - thanks so much for your insights and teaching - best on the web
Glad you think so!
Thanks Darren, you take us by surprise with the new version. My favorite must be the color slice 😃
Node stacks actually!
Nice to see you and Alex at NAB this year.
Good to see you too!
Fantastic walkthrough of the color-slice tool. Thanks, Darren!
Glad it was helpful!
As usual Darren, you are definitely the champ off explanation.

Thanks for sharing these new features.
No problem
Thank you for the heads-up on some of the new features.
This is amazing! Can't wait for the non-beta version to come out. I'm working on some projects right now, so I'm sticking with 18.6 until then. Any estimate on when the non-beta will be released?
No idea when. Usually quite a few months.
I guess you were provided an advance copy or you are extremely fast - love all the new stuff. I just downloaded and one of the things that I have been mentioning to Resolve team over and over is for them not to forget fixing the face refinement tool - I saw Daria scratched the surface on it in the preview and it looked as though she was able to edit the tracking. The tool I always thought had a lot of potential but made me stop trying to use it was that the tracking wasn't editable. So fingers crossed.
have fun in Vegas - say hi to everyone for me. Cheers.
Thanks Jim. Yes im fast! Just landed Vegas!
Definitely, some exciting new tools here Darren. Thanks for the quick and dirty breakdown.
very welcome - quick and dirty?
Thank you for the video. Great tutorial.
Hey Darren it was good meeting you at NAB. I have DaVinci 19 studio, but my music remixer isn't there.
good to meet you too. Goto Edit page...click on audio tracks and its in inspector.
That’s where i was at and mine is missing. I double checked. I am on DaVinic 19 Studio Beta. Wish we could share images here
Woah, I thought blackmagic might present some new atems and converters at best.. But woow, they are nailing it, especially that music remixer
Thanks for the great video! Question, the title "music remixer" can you do a tutorial on that text block? I love the glow, font and way the individual letters appear.
What sorcery is that remixer tool?! I guess it will damage in some way the instrumental parts by removing the similar frequencies shared with the vocals but still, truly amazing.
I suspect iZotope Rx technology in there...
Great video…every time I watch one of your videos I realize how little I know about DR…and I’ve used it for four years, lol.
Hi Jason! Hope you are well my friend.
@@DarrenMostyn well enough dude, I hope things are great on your end! 📸😎
Thank you, Darren! I know these take a lot of valuable time, but you've taught me and others tons. Any idea whether these new features will be reflected in the Mini Panels? Hoping so.
Yes some are i believe
I see a lot of updates coming into the online classes and certification paths of BMD. Cool new features. 👍
all looks amazing....look forward to your more in-depth reviews...
They will come - I'm in USA right now.
This new tool looks awesome already
Saved on my reference videos among other great videos from you! Always showing top quality tutorials! Thanks a lot, Darren.
Thanks. Appreciated
Had no idea this thing is coming out. Hopefully it’s still free upgrade for us studio owners.
Yes it is as always
Davinci Resolve Studio updates are always free :) One time fee for the win :)
Oh it's beta. That's why it doesn't show up for me.
God bless Grant Petty and his merry men .
HI Darren, I am enjoying watching your well produced video as I am transitoning from Premiere Pro to Davinci. Though one feature I really enjoyed, not to say was essential to my workflow, was the ability to customize my workspaces and the windows for when I am working with 1, 2 or 3 monitors. And I am not seeing this feature in Davinci, I have been searching on YT but all I see is something about dual screen, Which is ok, but it still has a set layout and doesn't give me a possibility to personalize it to my liking. Is there a secret about it you can uncover? Especially when color grading, I do want to expand my clip and have occupy half of my screen.
This is fantastic 🤓
Wow! It's all so amazing, but that music mixer tool. Damn!
Darren, you are awesome! Before opening the Beta, I came straight to your page to hear your thoughts on Resolve's newest features. Thank you for all your help! Also, I was wondering if you could make your node tree stack an available Powergrade?
Thanks for kind words. My node tree is available if you sign up to my free email list (in the decription) but haven't created a node stack version as yet.
Darren please ! I can’t attend this event in USA .Could you please ask Black Magic developers if they gonna improve planar tracker in Fusion ? I’m using a planar tracker a lot and I think it’s needed a good update 😊
Looks awesome! I kinda wish the Remix tool was something more like Adobe's where it can make a song longer, but this is also nice. Especially if you don't have stems and you want to cut out vocals or drums or any other instruments.
Looking forward to your future videos, Darren. Cheers from Bulgaria!
Thank you for the first insights! The features are looking amazing, but, I am curious if my machine can handle all the new stuff. Maybe it's time for a hardware upgrade...
Thank you Darren for this review, very informative 😊
Thanks for video, amazing as always :
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Darren - Q - do you suggest we upgrade or wait for the final version? I'm in between episode edits - a new Eps starts next week after we close the current one?
Dont upgrade during jobs IMO. Its first version beta. Id wait at least for a 19.1 or 19.2 and then only after a job is complete. Back up everything first of course.
So looking forward to this, both color page as well as fairlight, but maybe also seeing what’s happening in the cut page :)
Excited to hear your deep dives on the new features! I have a question about the new film look FX. Do you know if we still need to do a CST to Cineon Film Log before the FX please?
no. It works in any chosen colour space.
Perfect, thank you! So if I'm correct it should be best to place last in the chain right before using the CST to change from Davinci Wide Gamut to Rec707 Gamma 2.4 so that any changes made are within the wider colour space?
@@AquashiiMusic correct. near the end would be good advice.
Thank you so much for clarifying. 🙏
Hi mate, awesome video as always! Hope you’re having a good time! I’ve just got back from birthday celebrations and trying to type is challenging but couldn’t wait for your video on this update. Seems BM have pulled out some awesome features with this update. Thanks again! Mark.
Happy birthday! this version has some amazing features! Hope your head not too sore in the morning!
@@DarrenMostyncheers, pal. I’m not not hopeful for the morning 🥴
Hey Darren, I've just learned to be color-space aware in Resolve and I'm really struggling with how to make skin-tone adjustments in a Group workflow, when the rec.709 conversion is the last node in the stack. I want all skin-tone selections to be on the Clip level, but with my DWG>709 node being the very last node, I'm forced to use Log for selections, which has proven difficult. How do you typically go about correcting skin-tones when using a workflow that incorporates Grouped Node stacks? Any help you could give me would be really appreciated!
Currently, I have my node tree as follows:
Group-Pre Clip> Noise reduction then Converts to DWG
Clip > Primaries and individual adjustments
Group Post Clip > Look DNA and additional creative adjustments
Timeline > DWG into Rec.709
And a new PANEL!
