Using DaVinci Resolve
Shooting with your Blackmagic URSA Broadcast is only part of the process of creating film and
television content, and just as important is the process of media backup and management as
well as editing, color correction and encoding final master files. Your Blackmagic
URSABroadcast includes a version of DaVinci Resolve for Mac OS and Windows so you have a
complete solution for shooting and post production!
After connecting your CFast or SD card to your computer, you can use DaVinci Resolve’s ‘clone’
tool, in the ‘media’ page, to create running backups as you shoot. This is recommended as any
type of media is susceptible to becoming damaged or developing a fault so creating backups
ensures your shots will be immune to loss. Once you have used DaVinci Resolve to back up
your media, you can then add your clips to the DaVinci media pool, then edit, color correct, and
finish your production without ever having to leave DaVinci Resolve.
DaVinci Resolve is the same tool used on most major blockbuster movies, so it’s much more
than a simple NLE software tool, as it has extremely advanced technology built in for high end
digital film. You get the advantage of this technology when you use DaVinci Resolve to edit and
color correct your work.
Included here is information on how to get started using DaVinci Resolve with your camera files.
Of course, DaVinci Resolve is extremely advanced and includes a lot more features than you
immediately see when first looking at its user interface. To learn more about how to use
DaVinci Resolve, please check for the DaVinci Resolve instruction manual pdf file on
theDaVinciResolve software disk, or check online for the many training courses and tutorial
videosavailable.
NOTE We recommend using the latest version of DaVinci Resolve for accurate color
treatment of clips shot using URSA Broadcast. For example, version 14.3 or later will
ensure accurate color for URSA Broadcast's DNxHD, ProRes and RAW files.
