Blackmagicdesign URSA - DaVinci Resolve Workflow

Using DaVinci Resolve
Shooting with your Blackmagic URSA 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 URSA includes a
version of DaVinci Resolve Studio for Mac OS X and Windows so you have a complete solution
for shooting and post production!
After connecting your CFast card 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
ensures your shots will be immune to loss. Once you have used DaVinci Resolve to back up
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.
Because Blackmagic URSA shoots a much wider dynamic range than regular video cameras,
DaVinci Resolve will help you adjust your shots to get any kind of look you are after. 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 pdf file on the DaVinci
Resolve software disk, or check online for the many training courses and tutorial
videosavailable.
NOTE We recommend using the latest version of DaVinci Resolve for the best
performance and latest features.
