There’s also support for HDR Vivid, Dolby Vision highlight clipping, and bypassing of color management through the Fusion pane. There is also a Depth Map Tool which can create an artificial depth of field and bokeh in the background, overlaying shades or removing artifacts and fringing.

The tool can go the next step beyond blurring out uncleared images, by simply replacing them. There’s also an Ultra Beauty Mode which enables the colorist to make more natural changes to hair and skin color, plus eye shading, and even add a tattoo using a Surface Tracker. The colorist can draw around what needs to be tracked, and Magic Mask will do the rest, providing complete control over color and shade. Dubbed “Magic Mask,” the new tool analyzes the scene and detects objects to be tracked and keyed independently. Video subtitles can also be imported or exported while being embedded with multiple tracks via TTML.īlackmagic has rolled out its own version of Adobe’s content-aware fill feature. Resolve 18 can also be deployed during a live stream with on the fly editing features and a new Multicam mode with a 5×5 layout to support 25 separate camera feeds into the video timeline. The Video Editing pane can now use the camera gyro metadata of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera to stabilize footage and make it smoother. Proxies can also be set with preferences and permissions of read-only, write, or both, with the timeline indicating when a proxy is being used instead of the camera original. Using lower resolution proxies can get the work done, especially when working via remote. Blackmagic is also introducing a stand-alone Proxy Generator app, which will auto-create proxies to stand in for camera originals when conditions slow down the workflow to a crawl.
