DaVinci Resolve 11 Beefs Up Editing Features

After a month and a half of beta testing, Blackmagic's final version of its editing software, DaVinci Resolve 11, is now on the market. Known mostly in the past for its color grading effectiveness, DR11 had improved editing features that attempts to bring the software up to par with more professional titles of NLE's like Adobe Premier Pro CC and Final Cut Pro X. Here are a few of the new features:

• DR11 incorporates a updated edit index that can filter clips by flags and offline clips.
• A variety of different editing and trimming tools that increase the power and precision of editing clips.
• A new JKL trimming tool allows you to trim during playback, both forwards and reverse at different speeds.
• Transitions can be added through a drop down menu that's accessible by right clicking between cuts within the timeline. The drop down menu contains preset options that can be changed by the user.

Davinci Resolve's upgrades suggests that Blackmagic looks to compete more in the professional NLE space. If DV11's editing features prove as powerful as the software's color correction and grading, it could be a real future contender within the NLE market.
