Using DaVinci Resolve
Shooting with your Blackmagic URSA Cine is only part of the process of creating film and
television content, and just as important is the process of media backup and management as
well as editing, color correction and encoding final master files. Your Blackmagic URSACine
includes a version of DaVinci Resolve for Mac and Windows so you have a complete solution
forshooting and post production!
NOTE We recommend using DaVinci Resolve 19 Beta 6 or later
After connecting your media to your computer, you can use DaVinci Resolve’s ‘clone’ tool, in
the ‘media’ page, to create running backups as you shoot. This is recommended as any type of
media is susceptible to becoming damaged or developing a fault so creating backups means
your shots will be immune to loss. Once you have used DaVinci Resolve to backup your media,
you can then add your clips to the DaVinci media pool, then edit, color correct, and finish your
production without ever having to leave DaVinci Resolve.
DaVinci Resolve is the same tool used on most major blockbuster movies, so it’s much more
than a simple NLE software tool, as it has extremely advanced technology built in for high end
digital film. You get the advantage of this technology when you use DaVinci Resolve to edit and
color correct your work.
Included here is information on how to get started using DaVinci Resolve with your camera
files. Of course, DaVinci Resolve is extremely advanced and includes a lot more features than
you immediately see when first looking at its user interface. To learn more about how to use
DaVinci Resolve, please check for the DaVinci Resolve instruction manual on the Blackmagic
website, where you can also find many training courses and tutorial videos.
