Blackmagic Design is to demonstrate the DaVinci Resolve 8 as part of their expo at IBC.
Dado Valentic, founder of the UK’s first datalab, Mytherapy, will demonstrate the software as part of a Final Cut Pro workflow at the IBC Amsterdam FCPUG Supermeet.
Valentic’s specialty lies in finishing stereoscopic 3D projects, like the BAFTA winning Flying with Monsters (2011), the world’s first 3D opera Carmen in 3D (2011). He is also well known for his grading and retouching work for fashion and beauty industry.
The DaVinci Resolve 8 is major update to the company’s widely used colour correction system for Mac OS X and Linux computers.
New features in DaVinci Resolve 8 include multilayer timeline support with editing, and XML import and export with Apple Final Cut Pro 7 and Adobe Premiere Pro.
OpenCL processing allows use on Apple iMac and MacBook Pro computers, while advanced processing tools have been added for real-time noise reduction, curve grading and advanced multi-point stabilisation, as well as automatic stereoscopic 3D image alignment.
DaVinci Resolve 8 also supports the Avid Artist Color, Tangent Wave and JL Copper control panels, as well as offering ALE export to relink graded DNxHD files back into Avid editors.
Valentic said, "I’m really looking forward to the Amsterdam Supermeet this year and showing everyone how I use Resolve 8 in a 3D workflow and for fashion grading. The Supermeet events are always really exciting and it will be great to show how I’ve used Resolve 8 to grade my latest projects."
