Using DaVinci Resolve
Shooting with your Blackmagic URSA Mini 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 Mini
includes a version of DaVinci Resolve for Mac OS and Windows so you have a complete
solution for shooting and post production!
NOTE
We recommend using the latest version of DaVinci Resolve for accurate color
treatment of clips shot using URSA Mini cameras. For example, version 14 or later will
ensure accurate color for all URSA Mini cameras.
After connecting your CFast, SD Card or SSD 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.
