DAVINCI RESOLVE FOR MAC - CERTIFIED CONFIGURATION GUIDE
Installing or updating Resolve is essentially the same
process. Log in as the user that will be operating
Resolve.
You will need an Administrator password to install
the software on your system and we recommend
that DaVinci Resolve be installed into the standard
Applications folder on your startup hard disk.
Insert the Resolve DVD or open the downloaded
disk image and when the installer window opens,
doubleclick the ‘Resolve Installer’ icon and follow
the onscreen prompts to install the software.
The installation process takes just a couple of
minutes. When the installation has been completed
we suggest you restart your Mac. After the software
has been installed and your Mac has restarted, you
may wish to add the application icon to your dock to
make Resolve easy to launch.
For the full version of DaVinci Resolve, the included
USB dongle contains the Resolve for Mac license
and must be connected to your computer before
launching the Resolve software.
For Resolve to use the DeckLink card or UltraStudio
3D for video I/O you will need to install the latest
Desktop Video drivers. These are available from the
support page at www.blackmagicdesign.com.
If you use Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media
Composer or Adobe Premiere Pro on the same Mac
as Resolve, and you wish to use these applications
with a DeckLink or UltraStudio, install the latest
Desktop Video drivers after installing your editing
applications. Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers
install associated easy setup options and presets for
a number of editing applications.
