Fairlight, the audio post-production suite in Resolve, now includes the new Fairlight AI which automatically pans audio to track video movement, enhancing the audio dynamics in any scene. Additionally, the ducker track FX and music remixer track FX provide advanced options for audio mixing, ensuring clear dialogue and well-balanced soundtracks.
For visual effects, the Fusion page has been enhanced with a new multipoly rotoscoping tool and expanded USD tools, which streamline the workflow and improve efficiency in handling complex projects. The cut page features innovative live broadcast tools like replay, playout, and multi-camera editing capabilities, making it ideal for live events.
The integration with Blackmagic Cloud is a standout feature, allowing larger organizations to manage projects more efficiently. The new Organizations app helps businesses streamline project sharing, license management, and storage access, offering a more cohesive workflow environment.
