Welcome to the DaVinci Resolve user manual. DaVinci Resolve carries the tradition of DaVinci color
correction into the next generation of color enhancement.

Color enhancement in DaVinci Resolve centers around clip-based color correction and real time
conforming process. Within each clip, nodes are used to create and control the color correction and
to enhance the image by simply adding a series of nodes together. Within each node, a primary and/
or secondary YRGB correction may be applied and combined with a Circular, Linear, Polygon, or Power
Curve Window. Each node can also have image and matte defocus as well as custom curves.
DaVinci Resolve also includes an automatic image tracking tool for PowerWindows, native file support
for a number of camera and image formats, powerful EDL and XML conforming tools, and real time SD
and HD tape ingest and playout.
You can use internal, external direct attached, or even Open File System LAN or SAN storage with

We invite you to read on and discover all the features of this exciting new system. You’ll soon learn that
it’s the most powerful and easy to operate color enhancement system that has ever been introduced.
