DaVinci Resolve 16 is the latest version of Black Magic Design’s video editing software, combining professional editing, colour correction, visual effects and audio post-production. You can switch between editing, colour, effects and audio in real time while editing video material at up to 8K resolution. The core functions in Resolve are accelerated by both CUDA and OpenCL, including RAW file processing, color correction, advanced video filters and compositing.
The current version 16 also introduces other new GPU-accelerated features, including scopes and functions that use the new DaVinci Neural Engine, which relies on machine learning to enable powerful new features such as face recognition, estimation of the speed of deformation movement (Speed Warp Motion), automatic face tracking and enhancement, super scaling, automatic color and smart color matching.
The sample project for the first benchmark uses this footage in full 4K resolution without down-sampling or using any proxies. In addition, the SuperScale upsampling sample uses a 4K ProRES and an HD H.264 video file.
The Speed Warp Motion project uses an HD MPEG-4 file and upscaling to Ultra-HD.
