Without a viable in-person trade show to debut DaVinci Resolve 17, the Blackmagic Design team, led by CEO Grant Petty, delivered a nearly 2 hour presentation covering, page by page many of the new features and hardware. It’s also worth noting that every single update to DaVinci Resolve Studio has been free so far to existing owners, so it’s a one-time purchase, rather than a yearly upgrade decision. This also might be the best time to upgrade to DaVinci Resolve Studio ($295) given that you can (for a limited time) get the $295 Speed Editor bundled with it for free – more details on that below. You can learn how to do that in this previous post on DaVinci Resolve 16.

If you’re an existing DaVinci Resolve user then you’ll want to make sure you back up your database before upgrading to the latest beta installation.
