About DaVinci Resolve Lite Software

DaVinci Resolve Lite includes all the same high quality processing of the full DaVinci Resolve. However it limits projects to UHD resolutions or less, a single processing GPU and a single RED Rocket card. Stereoscopic 3D features, noise reduction, Power Mastering, remote grading, and sharing projects using an external database server are features only offered in the full DaVinci Resolve and so are not included in this free DaVinci Resolve Lite edition. If you need these additional features, you can purchase the full DaVinci Resolve Software for only US$995.

Important v10 Pre-install Notes

• The new OpenFX plugin support and temporal processes in v10, optical flow speed changes, temporal NR and motion blur, all use significantly more GPU RAM compared to other image processing. We now recommend a minimum of 2GB of GPU RAM for HD image processing and greater than 4GB of GPU RAM for 4K images if plugins or temporal processes are to be used.
