Hauptsächlich einige lang erwartete Features für Fairlight, und einiges an Workflow Verbesserung für den Rest.
Die neue Foley Library ist auch endlich fertig und zum Download bereit.
Today we released DaVinci Resolve 16.2 which includes new Fairlight features such as edit selection mode along with advanced mouse and keyboard tools that make audio post production faster than ever. This new update also includes many improvements for color correction, editing and more.
DaVinci Resolve 16.2 includes major new updates for editing in the Fairlight audio timeline when using the new edit selection mode, which unlocks functionality previously only available via the audio editor on the full Fairlight console, so editing is much faster than before. In addition, the edit selection mode makes adding fades, cuts and even moving clips only a mouse click away. New scalable waveforms let you zoom in without adjusting the volume while bouncing lets you render a clip with custom sound effects directly from the Fairlight timeline.
Adding multiple clips is easier as you can now add them to the timeline vertically, not just horizontally, making it easier to add multiple tracks of audio at once. Multichannel tracks can now be converted into linked groups directly in the timeline so you no longer have to change clips manually and re-import.
DaVinci Resolve 16.2 also includes support for the Blackmagic Fairlight Sound Library with new support for metadata based searches, so you don’t need to know the filename to find a sound effect. Effects can also be marked as a favorite so they move to the top of the list, making navigation easier than ever.
MPEG-H 3D immersive surround sound audio bussing and monitoring workflows are now supported. Additionally, improved pan and balance behavior includes the ability to constrain panning.
This update also adds support to drag selections for mute, solo, record enable and lock to the track index as well as visibility controls so you can quickly swipe through a stack of tracks without having to click on each one individually.
This new release also includes improvements in AAF import and export with AAF sequences now being able to be imported directly to the timeline in use. The AAF export has also been updated and now supports industry standard broadcast wave files as well as having fades and fade handles added to the exported files which will be recognized in other applications.
This new software also improves audio mixing with a new EQ curve preset for clip EQ in the inspector allowing you to remove troublesome frequencies. There’s also a new LFE filter designed to smoothly roll off the higher frequencies when mixing low frequency effects in surround.
Working with immersive sound workflows using the Fairlight audio editor has been updated to include dedicated controls for panning up and down. Additionally, clip EQ can now be altered in the inspector on the editor panel. Copy and paste functions have been improved so all attributes are copied, including EQ, automation and clip gain. Sound engineers can set up their preferred workflow including creating and applying their own presets for clip EQ as well as customizing or adding Plugin parameters for fast access to their preferred toolset.
Clip levels can now be changed relatively, allowing you to adjust the overall gain while respecting existing adjustments. Clip levels can also be reset to unity, easily removing any level adjustments that may have been made previously. More functions previously only available via the keyboard are now accessible using the panel, including layered editing. This also means that automation curves can also now be selected via the keyboard or audio panel.
There has also been major updates to the audio editor. You can navigate directly to the timecode entry window above the timeline from the audio editor panel and there is added support for high frame rate timecodes. There’s also more precision with rotary controls on the panel and when using a mouse with the use of a modifier key. You can also change the layout and select either icon or text only labels on the Fairlight editor while moving around the timeline is even faster with added support media left and media right selection keys to jump the playhead forwards and back.
For traditional Fairlight users, this new update makes major improvements in importing legacy Fairlight projects including improved speed when opening projects with over 1000 media files. It also enables you to use the traditional Fairlight layout you may be more familiar with.
This update also improves editing in DaVinci Resolve with the loading and switching of timelines on the edit page now faster when working with a large number of audio tracks. You can now create compound clips from in and out points to be more selective with the media you want on the edit page. The media pool now includes metadata support for audio files with up to 24 embedded channels, you can duplicate clips and timelines into the same bin using copy and paste commands and much more!
