I'm hoping the Fusion page gets full USD support, with an editor for creating content, maybe borrowed from Blender. I'd like to see a version that's specifically for VR/AR headsets that allows you to create a virtual set, and walk around it, placing objects, lights and cameras.

- Text Wrapping! - More settings for text based editing - PAN Settings visibility ON the fairlight page itself! Now you have to open the plugin every time. I just want to see wether I’m 50L-50R instead of guessing. - Let me Solo a bus! - Fairlight updates to make it a bit more DAW-like and make automation in there less tedious. Just look at Logic and Ableton in the music industry and it just-makes-sense. Rant over :)

What I am hoping for, is the ability to save Presets to drag and drop directly on clips in the edit page. WHY do they not have this?!

Controversial feature wish, a second playhead that always follows the mouse cursor so you can move the playhead with your mouse rather than having to click and drag on the timeline to move it.

Retiming music would be great. And better motion graphics support.

I agree - I can feel it too lol. I felt like the last few years Resolve has lead the way for new features and everyone else just was late to the game. My wishlist: • Not docking UI, but freedom to move panels to either side or many more predesigned destinations. Keep it stable that way. Say I wanted to move mixer to the 2nd monitor or to the left side of the screen. • Power Bin expansion capabilities • Some super cool tool like ReLight that blows PPro out the water even more. • MOST IMPORTANT - customizable clip color labels. Ditch the weird labels give me the pallet, or more easily identifiable shades.

I’d also like music isolation/removal. And yes, the best generative AI feature for Resolve would be a type of frame extension.

We def need more adjustments for motion graphics and 3D workflow in Fusion. Also more AI features for generative work. Better workflow with text features and captions.

A few things I'd like to see Magic Mask to editable shapes for tweaking (also make it easier to refine rather than wholesale re-calculate if you miss a bit) More stable depth map model (less temporal flickering) Better post DOF to use with depth map Use of gyro data from other cameras + also use them for tracking assist/sky replacement on moving shots

Waves clarity VX pro has the ability to remove voice and just have BG noise. I’ve been using it for years. I’m pretty sure Davinci uses the exact same method for the voice isolation. Waves is way better. You can see where everything is so you can fine tune with EQ to remove etc. but Davinci will eventually make it better and Waves Clairty VX Pro will be pointless.

We are close to NAB, which means, this update is more or less for stability reasons. Something big is coming soon with the new Version (19)...

Great video, Alex! Let’s see what pops up next. Still amazed of what happened in the last years. My wish: Make the subtile tool better. It’s annoying that it doesn’t just complete the sentences and gives it a cut. Instead it has the first word of the next sentence still on screen. Also here in your video.

Hi @MrAlexTech Would you consider making a video showing your process regarding talking into the camera and editing out your mistakes?

My two thoughts were per-word animated subtitles and audio remix, and then you mentioned both of them! If it was a year ago, I'd have said Resolve was too film-focused for that, but with the addition of TikTok uploads etc, it seems like they're happy to add more "social-friendly" features.

Some form of audio wind reduction or some specific tools to deal with wind frequencies / supression

We need more stability that was compromised since 18.6 and also please a UI revamp!

I would love the transcribe options to work for multiple audio tracks, even if it transcribes only one. Currently if I have a multi audio track and I transcribe it and try to bring it in cut, it'll only bring in the first track, even if there are multiple. So I'm basically unable to use it. Also the ability to customize how long a gap can be, and other settings for it is really a must for me to really utilize it. Right now I still have to spend a lot of time cleaning up after it if I end up utilizing it, that more or less is the same amount of time as I'd take from the start without it.

I'd love to see an "actual" option to create a timeline based on source media resolution/frame rate like PP has had for years. Also the ability to replace clips easier in the timeline. The whole shift 11/ button option thing is not that great and it happens at the playhead. In adobe it's just done by dragging the new clip with the alt/opt key held down. They also really could improve the voice isolation with some more parameters and control.

I'm hoping for these things: 1) upgrade the Proxy Generator to a decent Media Encoder for "mass delivery" where you can select a bunch of clips/timelines and get them out in one go. 2) provide an easy way to turn sync bin items into real multicam clips (eg from ATEM-switchers) 3) maybe they will create a "graphics/titles page" that is layer oriented, kind of like a vertical timeline extension, a bit like AE. Yet under the hood, it creates a fusion flow. This might attract users who so far have shyed away from the fusion page.

Spell checking would be super useful for people with dyslexia.

For right now, I'd prefer BMD to put their efforts into the Edit page as there are alternatives for the audio by using another DAW for editing and mixing. Once the Edit page is solid, then I think Fairlight is next in line for an overall.

reverse voice isolation is easily done eg: on track "a" you got a voice and noise, add noise cancelation on track "a" and bounce (or route) this to an oher track.(track "b") . reverse the polarity of track b. play back track a(without NC) and b. now you only hear the delta of those track wich is the noise/ambient

I'd have to say that export rendering is the most frustrating. When working in FCP at least you could send the project out to be rendered in Compressor and keep working on the project (or another one). It sucks that once you are on the deliver page and exporting stuff - you are essentially stuck.

Workspace customization with different storable Workspace presets! (Similar to Pr) Somekind of audio beat detection feature like BeatEdit for Adobe Detect bpm, customize the grid for the markers and set them to clip or sequence A plugin similar to mister horse for davinci. (This are really the last superficial features why i didnt switched fully yet)

A long time bug in DaVinci Resolve that they doesn't fix is that the first time when we select two keyframes of a clip (after opening that little keyframes panel under the clip) in the Edit page and try to drag them, only one keyframe comes, and the other one becomes deselected. So we need to press ctrl + z, select them again, and them they come both together.

there were many Fusion updates too and I suppose we'll see many more of these especially in the context of interoperability with 3D software and game engines in the context of Virtual production which is very big right now. (basically allowing a director to see a 3D scene live when shooting actors over green screen) or for use in live TV production and such .

Oh yes, Davinchi lags behind Adobe in terms of text editing. As there is no possibility to edit text directly on the screen. Tk also there is no possibility to find the font you need by keywords and you have to scroll constantly to find the font from the list. And the animation of subtitles is very lacking. As the acceleration of the audio track directly on the timeline without going to fairlight. Add a ruler like in Premiere pro on the monitor screen. Grid which is in the efects is not very convenient. Thanks

What about LIDAR from the cameras? take that info and put it into Fusion and it allows for amazing tracking and compositing?

You forgot to mention how they broke ripple cut, and introduced a whole bunch of new audio/video sync bugs with 18.6. And then took months to fix it

Should I select Use Optimized Media when rendering long videos? Does this speed them up? I always optimize before editing.

I'm eager to see more 3D features. object snap would be good when creating vfx

Much better anti-flicker. The ability to separate vocals from music and vice versa. Set music length to timeline length to where it chops up the music to fit the timeline. The ability to break apart the layout into separate screens so I can fully utilize my 3 monitor setup. Playback on one screen. Timeline on second screen. Inspector on third screen.

Can we have the ability to add transitions to the clips without jumping hoops and do a voodoo dance for a simple task like that ?

They need to make compound clip work, so that it works with voice isolation, every time I use it, there is double talk and metallic voices, When I put it on a new timeline. I have had problems with compound clips since version 16. I always get decompose in place when I have to render, which makes the compound clip itself useless, unless it's just B-roll. Is there anyone else having this problem? I use Macbook pro M1 Pro & Mac Studio M1 Ultra machines. (Running 18.6.5)

You can do reverse isolation by putting an isolated voice out of phase with the original signal

Can you help me with the cloud syncing feature, when i put a video in the timeline it does its thing, starts and finishes proxy, but when it gets to the upload part to the cloud so the person im editing for can see it, it just stops, or it stutters and dosnt go past -~~~, for an example it would go .23Mb-2.34Gb to -2.34 GB, or it would just stop in the middle and not go any further. ive already tried only proxies, proxies and originals, restarting both pc and davinci, new updates, making a copy of it and deleting old, i even got a whole new 2 T of storage and it still wouldnt go any further, just to note we have the 500 GB deal and we still have more than 300 GBs. thank u

Enjoy NAB - Went a couple of times.

Are you using magic animate for the animation where you move on the right and some text appears on the left ?

I need to be able to change the values ​​in the inspector or any window with the mouse scroll. a little big change for me😅

I would like an MXF OP1A MPEG-4 update to the render page. Not sure why Davinci doesn’t have this option

Perhaps some stuff on the 3D side of things. They have that setting for different render engines - even though there's only one or two if I remember correctly. Could make the camera solver free, since I just use blender for that anyway. I hope they steer clear of subscriptions though. As good a deal as the paid resolve is, I haven't even got that yet. A subscription? No, I'm way too tight for that.

Do you think they will add automatic music mixing as in Premiere? Like adding a music track shorten it to your liking and da vinci automatically mix it (shorten it) without disrupting the music all too much.

I love this channel so much

I would love a feature that changes a person’s appearance just enough to get around model release.

The only thing I really want its DaVinci Resolve could read the Cue Markers in a Wav audio File, this is the only feature I miss from Premiere Pro

I've never tried it but could the "reverse voice isolation" not be achieved by having the original audio and the isolated track and reversing the phase of either?

Auto chop dead air please! Maybe something like autopod for multi-cam

we really need an interface option for editing vertical content, and an option for having rulers

Customizable workspace like premiere would be amazing. And then text based editing like premiere where you can transcribe the audio, and on the timeline level, cut and paste things in the timelines

An editing panel that works in the Color Page with dials and knobs to change values in the inspector as well - this would make Resolve perfect for me.
