DaVinci Resolve 10 and Live Grading
Desktop Video 10 allows simultaneous capture and playback on the UltraStudio 4K and DeckLink 4K
Extreme. This is great for users who want to use the Live Grading feature within DaVinci Resolve 10, as it
means you don’t require two separate devices for input and output.
When using live grading on-set, simply connect the output of the camera to the input of your Blackmagic
hardware. Then connect the hardware's output to an on-set monitor for grading evaluation and viewing.
Setting Up
Step 1. Launch Resolve and from the Preferences menu, select the "Video I/O and GPU" tab and select
your hardware from the “For Resolve Live use” option. Save your preferences and restart Resolve
to apply your changes.
Step 2. Start a project and from within the Project Settings window, set the resolution and frame rate to
match your camera.
Step 3. In the Project Settings window, go to the "Deck Capture and Playback" tab and select your
desired format from the "Video capture and playback" menu.
Step 4. Go to the Edit page and right click in the Timeline window and select “Create New Timeline”.
Step 5. From the Color menu, select "Resolve Live On/Off". You should now see live video within the
Viewer and a bright red “Resolve Live” button will appear above the video.
Using Resolve Live
Step 1. In Resolve Live mode, the Freeze button (snowflake icon) freezes the current incoming video
frame, so you can grade it without being distracted by motion occurring during the shoot. When
you’ve made the adjustment, you can unfreeze playback in preparation for grabbing a snapshot.
Step 2. Once you’re happy with a grade, clicking the Snapshot button (camera icon) saves a snapshot
of the current still in the Viewer, the incoming timecode value, and your grade into the Timeline.
Snapshots are simply one-frame clips.
You can refer to the DaVinci Resolve 10 manual for more information on Resolve Live.
