Amazing 18.5 to 18.6. A lot happening in that incremental upgrade! Nice job BM. Nice job Mr. Alex for letting us know!

This new 18.6 is a huge bummer for me personally, even simpler tasks like timeline shuffling or ripple deleting has become very laggy and resolve has crashed 10 times within 3-4 hours of editing.

Heyyy! So I recorded this video not long after it was released, and I was quite excited 😄 It's still very impressive! But I know some are having issues so sorry for my annoying excitement ha. Also Puget Systems have done some lab tests themselves, which mostly mirror my results with some exceptions! www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/davinci-resolve-studio-18-6-neural-engine-performance-optimizations/

Your awesome Alex. Love your videos and I purchased the motion array effects from your last video u recommended. I love them thank you 😊

Man, that's awesome! I'm upgrading tonight :D I used to use Speed Warp more, but it had gotten to where it just brought my computer to its knees. I love how BMD is always improving the software - can't wait to check out some of these things :D

This video was perfect. Such awesome features! Thanks for showing them off :)

I always think I am a Davinci Resolve expert, then you make a video... These feature refinements are awesome!

This was the most informative video on 18.6 and already started using some of these new enhanced features in a current project!

Another great video Alex!

Thanks alex as always for keeping us upto date🍻

OK Alex I'm convinced. I'll buy it tomorrow. I've been considering buying it for a while anyway.

Great stuff Alex. So glad I invested in Studio; worth every penny!

Omg awesome. Thanks for sharing this!

As always Alex, a brilliantly presented and useful video. Both you and Darin have an excellent way of showing complex programs and techniques very well. Hope your new life is going well for you.

Nice! Thank you for this input! I'm just anticipating that version of auto subtitles where it detects accurately the language and also different English accents from various countries.

Seriously Mindblowing!

Very nice presentation and summary.

Thanks so much Bro for sharing!

Excellent coverage! I like the actual demo with and without to show the difference, rather than just talking about it. I have been sitting on the fence. You hit the nail on my head, I will get the studio now. Any coverage on the speed editor? Tempted to get that one too.

That's so cool. Actually I've just decided to buy the studio version while I was watching your video 😁

It's so fascinating what possibilities the program offers. I have used Sony Vegas for 14 years and I finally deleted it from the hard drive today.

Even though I’m a little dr fish it rocks for my use with the titles which is why I bought it. The rest is icing on the cake that I try other items from time to time. Wonderful Alex !

Thanks for this! I've updated after watching this video...

Facial recognition is awesome and works about 90% of the time, which is great. There's a massive disadvantage to it, depending on your workflow: It greatly increases project file size. One project of mine went from 6MB to about 120MB after running facial recognition on about 300 clips. That means that now the automated project backups would be multiple GB im size. Furthermore, in our case, the remote editors which are loading the project from our server would take multiple minutes to load in. Where before you could open the project in about 10-15 seconds, it would now take so long Resolve would freeze up and crash on a regular basis, making us move back to sending project files back and forth without any collaborative editing.

Very helpful, im enjoying

*Flying high with my 18.6 Studio version! Super Duper Smoothie!* 🍧

I'm on an old MSI laptop with 16GB RAM and everything is just painful, so I'm saving up for a new desktop (I call it "The Monster"). Can't wait to get it so I can do all this stuff!

When I opened Davinci 2 weeks ago - it said „optimizing 49 neural Engines“ and i was so sort of happily confused but now it makes sense XD thank you for clarifying about what’s going on!

OK, you convinced me to upgrade to Studio.

To be honest since 18.5, everything has been fairly stable, I’m using a Mac M1 Studio Ultra, with the Davinci Resolve studio version. What I have noticed upgrading to MacOS Sonoma, is a general increase in many programs/apps, however the slower stuff on resolve renders etc have remained the same. No issues though, still quite smooth sailing.

Have you tried rendering 6K RED to 720 H.264 MP4 or 1080p ProRes Proxy. Prior to Sonoma, 18.5 and 18.6 were very crash-happy. Since reverting to 18.1.4, it has been smooth sailing. Afraid to bother with 18.6 or higher until BMD or multiple users report greater RED optimization and fewer if any crashes while transcoding it. I am on an M1 Max MBP.

loads of very good stuff, Thank you Alex,

Just upgraded from my m1 macbook air to a pc with a 4090 and can confirm, I can run speedwarped 4k footage without proxys or half resolution completely without dropping a single frame… I can even add 5frames better NR and Motionblur on top and though the PC is on its limit, its still running full 25 fps. Pure magic🎉 Just makes editing 100x more fun when everything just works… (Though currently having problems with davinci not using the hardware en/decoders since I upgraded to 18.6 😢)

Alex please keep doing what you do. I have become so far in editing thanks to your videos

I've had no issues. I just did a 35 min 4k video at real time on a base model Macbook Air. I love this combo.

Thank you, boss!

Awesome video! I thought that I noticed a speed increase when doing the subtitle generation...

Love davinci 🤗 Glad that I am a studio owner 👍

Thanks for the heads up, yeh my version configured for a while before opening up, calculating to optimize the sw. Now if they can only make animation software this easy ... or at least easier!

Honestly magic masks struggled a bit on my older laptop with a 3060 in it. My current laptop has a mobile 4080 in it though and it does pretty well. I suppose it'll do even better now

U just make me so EXCITED for davinci!!! AND I DONT EVEN HAVE THE PAID VERSION LMAO!😂

Amazing Alex as always I wonder how it performs on older GPUs like RX580

Great video Alex, really useful. I recently had a problem with Magic Mask. It did a reasonable job first go but then I tried to refine it and it picked up heaps of the wrong parts of the image. So far no problem really. BUT, after that I found I was unable to delete the mask. Even after resetting it, every time I tried to set the mask again it went back to the haywire version.

Nice video as usual. I agree with your conclusions. My PC is running with an RT40B0 and everything is very fast. Just an exception and a major one : Superscale, I got only 5 or 6 frame by sec. Very strange. A French Davinci YT found the same behavior

Love the update, i definitely want to update to the studio version in the future, but the idea is to buy a davinci keyboard with a little more expense and then activate the free key with it 🎉

Hey Alex, thanks for the video... what software are you using to do your screencap with? You've got VERY smooth zooms and pans, would love a video on it!

Very useful video , thanks so much...Da Vinci is so great...For now, I must wait to buy it, but I will sure buy it. I didn't know it was far better from Final Cut Pro. I bought FCP instead of Davinci , I just regret now.

I noticed it's faster during exporting now 🙌

For the Mac Users: If you upgrade to a newer version of DR. Start the Installer and before you "overwrite" the old version, use the uninstaller to remove the prior version instead. Your settings/project DB will NOT removed. I had similar issues with some 17ish upgrades and use this method since then. No Problems here (Macbook pro with M1 Pro 16/512; Mac Studio M1 Max 32/512). Hope this helps someone...

Are you saying you don't get any problems with ripple deleting and audio getting messed up if you do this method by uninstalling before installing?

Very good content and very high quality image, what camera did you use?

I'm in love with davinci resolve .. wish me luck

My update ran all these optimizations. cool.

It's also really fun to take footage like this, slow down, for the color divorces.

I’ve noticed on 18.6 my videos have audio sync issues. The last version of resolve I was using before was 18.0.4 and that one was stable. I haven’t found any other version that didn’t have major issues

Blackmagic DaVinci forum has a tread about the many bugs on 18.6, wish I saw it first lol

One question for clarity. Are you sure no proxies were in use? I see on the edit page you were on „prefer proxies“. With 18.6 Resolve now automatically creates proxy files in the background. Since you did not show the proxy menu under playback, this wasn’t clear. Thx!

@hethfilms

@@mariotriforce Fair point, you seem to be right. As I'm working with a cloud database I had to recheck on a local database and yes, it does not generate proxies automatically then. That clears things up.

When I bought my copy I thought it was worth every penny for Noise Reduction. Now that I shelled out, just the once, all these features are considered as sooper dooper free bonuses. Anybody who pays monthly for their editing software needs their bumps feeling. (Cough, Adobe, cough)😂😂😂

thank you

Fast indeed!

Epic!

Great video, thanks. The GPU and RAM are big factors, which you’d expect. I did some extensive testing between an M1 16GB Mac mini and a 32 GB M2 Max Mac Studio. Ran the same tasks side by side and watched the stats and performance. RAM seemed to be the biggest bottleneck, especially in Fusion.

Here are the specs (below) for Macs, not PCs, But I agree more RAM is better. Also, with an N-4080 you may be better off right now. But I switched over after 40 years of PC because it was cheaper to go with Mac mini (M1 16GB RAM). Again, if you do this for a living, you need a high-end machine, no matter if it is a PC or Mac. I am waiting for the Mac Studio M4, which I will get 64 GB of RAM. For those using macOS devices, you should have: macOS 11 Big Sur or later. 8 GB of system memory (16 GB for intense graphics work) M1 Apple Silicon CPU (or Intel core i7 on older Macs) Integrated GPU or discrete GPU with at least 2GB of VRAM and supports Metal or OpenCL 1.2. A fast Solid State Hard Drive (SSD) Yeah, old man's two cents, I don't PC guys and am not really a Mac fanboy; it just works for me, that's all. Enjoy your DR editing!

Alex, would you please do a demonstration on how to use the audio program as a musical DAW for composing music. Thanks for this and all your past videos.

Any idea if any of these speed gains translate to those of us using MacBook Pro's with the M1/M2 ARM architecture?

18.5 has been super laggy, first time I’ve ever had Davinci be slower than Adobe lol. Time to see if 18.6 helps.

Keep on messing around in the woods as it leads to many quality tutorials. When is Black Magic going to hire you to put a course together? To whom do we write the letter?

I finally installed it on Linux for the first time and I love it. Never going to have to use Windows for this again.

09:05 hilarious! 😂

Hi Alex. I've just added auto subtitles to a video for the first time. Everything worked fine (some spelling errors probably due to my Irish accent) but when I uploaded it to KZread they were out of sync. Any suggestions? I realise I can move them in the KZread software but there are a lot of them and it will be quite tedious if I have to do them manually. I'd appreciate any help you can offer.

Ironically like everyone else has mentioned, 18.6 overall editing experience has been slow, laggy and buggy although the neural stuff are indeed faster.

Hi Alex , Thank you so much for helping me to learn how to use Davinci Resolve Studio. I'd like to ask you if you can make a video tutorial specific about Podcast sound edition, I'm strugle since long time with my own breath noise between one an oter sentences, I use Sure MV7 and directly connected to Mac or using Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen still face te same problem. I believe it can be avoid on the recording process or at least an authomatic process to cleaning out this "breath noise"on Davinci R Studio features. Thank you and hope this can help others as well. Cheers! Mauricio

I think 18.6 is the best Resolve version I've used on PC (been using it since 17). I've never had any weird issues with Resolve but 18.6 gives me the smoothness and and performance that I didn't even know my PC is capable of

It's insane how fast magic mask is. Now all we need is Cloud to work for me 😂

Magic mask seems to be very buggy on my Macbook Pro M1 Max. If any scaling is applied on the timeline, the image just turns black. If you try to do a freeze frame, image turns black and so on. Can you reproduce? Is it a format issue?

I bought studio a year ago - primarily for Magic Mask and Voice Isolation. I don’t find either to be perfect but overall I love DR 18.6 and have had no issues - running on a high-end Dell laptop (XPS i9 9530(?)). Thanks for the awesome Studio summary. I am excited to try the face recognition feature.

Did you try ClarityVX for background noise removal? I tried a lot of stuff and get the best results with this VST plugin.

Same issues with system crashing doing fairly simple tasks and audio not staying in sync when the timeline starts to get busy. Never had these issues in 18.5. Running a fully loaded Mac Studio M2 Ultra.

SuperScale is awesome for video archive sector

Mine is bugging bro. Any suggestions? My clips play smoothly in the preview window, then skip badly in the edit and on export. It's not my PC. I've been using Davinci for years, I'm using proxies.

OMG magic masks

18.6 is a whole new level but i feel it a bit unstable al least in my M2 mini, should be a update soon.

Hello I appreciate all of your help with resolve! Thanks for all the great content. I have a odd issue that is driving me crazy, Resolve is so glitchy and play back stops often even with 1080P @ 30fps. I have proxies enabled, playback at 1/4 , unchecked stop playback for dropped frames. (been dealing with this issues and looking for s a solution for months) My windows 11 machine is decent I think, I7 Geforce RTX 3060 16G Ram. Premier Pro is smooth and does not freeze up! Resolve is almost unusable with same media? I acutally did a fresh install of windows / reset this weekend, updated drivers for the graphics card , and still Resolve will still stop play back and "not responding" I really want to use the Resolve as I paid for the studio version but may have to go back to Premier Pro. Any ideas welcome ..

do auto subtitles can be added of a different language from the audio? for eg if audio language is German, can the subtitles be English?

we should have a pint too. The three of us a think! At least I dream! 😍

Been using Da Vinci on the Mac Book M1 Pro for the last year and I can say it's been absolutely flawless in comparison to premier pro. This new 18.6 update has been causing me major problems. Loading footage onto the timeline didn't appear to show waveforms. They appeared eventually after clicking onto another timeline then returning. I then noticed that playing each clip seemed to have no audio for the first second although the waveforms were visible. At one point copy and paste closed Da Vinci Completely. Adjusting a Multicam open timeline just wasn't possible without full system meltdown 🤯 Ive had to uninstall 18.6 to get work done.

Cool vid, at 9.12 did you add that effect in using the magic mask? also i have the free version and an m1 macbook pro, will the studio version be much faster on the m1 then the free version many thanks

Upgrade from my 1080 with 8GB to a ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XTX with 24GB will be the right choice? Waiting for blackfriday...

Performance wise , are there any videos of a comparison between an m1/2/3 chip Mac vs pc with an Nvidia 4090/4080/3080 for example? Which is better for resolve performance, I need to decide whether to buy a new Mac or a new Nvidia card. Thx

Magic masks used to take like 2 minutes to work, sometimes, often they would do nothing. Hope it's working now lol (RTX 3080)

I'm having issues when I delete any clip from the timeline the audio doesn't fill the gap from the deleted clip which leaves the audio with a gap on that location so I have to go to the audio manually and correct that every time very frustrating.

rtx 3070 studio driver here with fast nvme m.2 , 64 gb of ram ddr4, ryzen 7 5800x . the achiles heel of davinci (18, and above is what i tried so far) is definetely in the render area and the export area. on that regard I wish it was simple and effective like premiere.

Great video Alex! - I've been looking for advice on how to move the studio version to a new PC and keep all the original settings, I can't find anything, is this worth doing it?

Hi Alex. The bypass button seems to be stuck on Enable even if I have it disabled. This happened when I updated to 18.6.2. It seems like a bug but who knows. The color page does not do any changes until I exit out of resolve and go back in but then the bypass gets stuck on Enagled again. Im on a mac. Do you what could be causing this? Thanks...

I think it's time to bite the bullet and get the credit card out. I need the Studio version. 👍👍

The super scale feature replaced my topaz video AI🔥

i do have now the studio , however when I try to use the track as in the video (after using the magic mask) Da Vinci just crash. I'm new to this but I did follow the instructions. It keeps crashing. I have a MacBook M2 pro

Whenever I use magic mask it always seems to be terrible - am I doing something wrong? Do I need a cleaner background or a brighter subject?

Thanks for your video. I am looking to upgrade my eGPU which is rx 6700xt to rx 7900 xtx. It's connected via thunderbolt 3. However, I'm not sure if Davinci Resolve support the OPTIMIZED NEURAL ENGINE feature on this video card ans an thunderbolt connected GPU! I hope you know the answer to my question and could guide me before I purchase the card. Thanks in advance.
