DaVinci Revival
As the leading color correction and image enhancement system, DaVinci Resolve also works with
the DaVinci Revival, the leading system for film restoration. DaVinci Revival has been used to repair
thousands of films over the last ten years, and remains the backbone of many film restoration facilities.
DaVinci Resolve and DaVinci Revival are operated in very different ways because the end product is
quite different. Grading is very creative and flowing, whereas restoration work is often detailed on one
frame for some time. Within DaVinci Resolve, the colorist can perform real time noise reduction or make
simple Dirt and Dust touchups using the repair brush, but more complex repairs, major dust busting
or heavy grain reduction, deWarp, deFlicker, stabilization, deStain, etc., tasks are better performed in
DaVinci Revival; which is a purpose-built restoration system.
Other than the real time noise reduction and manual Dirt correction, DaVinci Resolve does not perform
image restoration, but it does provide details to a DaVinci Revival user for that repair. The Revival screen
provides a list of clips and frames, marked by the colorist, that the Revival operator can review.
There are three buttons in the main display that permit you to Refresh the list, Delete a selected clip from
the processing set or Delete All clips from the processing set. Also, on the lower right-hand side of the
DaVinci Revival display are the Grain Settings controls and presets. This area is used by the colorist to
establish grain settings, which are used by the DaVinci Revival system for grain reduction.
