Blackmagic DesignDaVinci Resolve Studio, Activation Card

was worried what I was getting but it arrived from amazon japan it says. takes time for it to be mailed probably was within 2 weeks. Inside of a huge amazon box, was a cardboard largish board, covered with shrink wrap holding a shrink wrapped davinci flat card holder (about size of a pocket paperback and thick as maybe 10 sheets) which had tape seals on it. then the card holder folds open and contains the credit card sized activation card. a lot of stuff for a few numbers written down lol. yes it is the end lol. really amazon box was crazy big size for it...but guess it keeps it from getting lost on international shipping.as far as I can figure unless you want to do some serious programming...you need to download the studio version...you can not upgrade from basic free resolve.you can download it once you put in your key at black magic. then once its in the install process you give them serial number to get it to install i think. it asks to have your dongle ready if you got one...i guess for those who have different stations etc.was great price though I do wish I got it when they included the micro control with it for 300. oh and had no problem updating to 18.5 or .6 whatever it is now lol. so no problem with region lock.I have never used node editor so this will take a lot getting used to from old way linear. i put it on a amd 3700x 32g nvme 5700xt...seems to have problems running the depth map so far. could be me though as i have no clue. man needs a lot of training and youtube videos and finding someone who shows exactly every click. where things are located don't seem intuitive like why you have to go to color screen to find said depth map and not see it in fusion screen. messed quickly with tracking and masking its easier maybe without deep dive, but don't know if its as good as others (hitfilm, mocha), but i am new. i know they optimized for nvidia in past maybe that's a part. maybe my computer too weak or crufted up as well..so some stuff just takes to long delay to tell if it is actually working off your clicks.just updated to much newer bios to try to unlock resize bar which should help this program work. amd made resize bar available for 3700x and up cpu which was nice to breath new life. once i did that...I found I had mbr instead of gpt partition...UGH so cant enable bar, till possibly use microsoft conversion tool, which is already in the os. BUT. its supposed to be safe for your data, still i worry so will have to set time and system aside to do a data back up just in case.if you are going to buy black magic equipment new like panels or cameras i believe all this is included free so no need to buy alone unless that's a long way off and your on a budget.they seem to be great on the updates and it saw my effects from other programs already and sucked in the ofx..so that was nice. though they where not for davinci so may not have all the functionality.good luck have fun its a huge toy that professionals are using as well!cheers!

As someone who's new to video editing, I was a bit intimidated by the idea of using professional software like Da Vinci Resolve Studio, but I’m so glad I took the plunge! This program has been a game-changer for me.The interface is user-friendly, even for a beginner like myself. I was surprised by how quickly I was able to pick up the basics, thanks to the built-in tutorials and the helpful online community. The layout makes sense, and I’ve found it easy to navigate through different stages of editing, color correction, and sound design.One of the most impressive things is how powerful the software is. Even though I’m just starting out, I can tell that this program is capable of doing so much more than I initially imagined. The color grading tools, in particular, have been a joy to use. I’ve been able to make my videos look so much more polished and professional, even with my limited experience.I also appreciate how the program runs smoothly on my computer. I was worried it might be too heavy, but it handles everything I throw at it without any issues. The performance has been solid, which makes the whole editing process more enjoyable.Overall, Da Vinci Resolve Studio has given me the confidence to take my video projects to the next level. If you’re an amateur like me who wants to grow your skills and produce better videos, I highly recommend giving this software a try. It’s been worth every penny!

The key was originally for version 17 but did work for the new version 18Can't believe I spent $295 for some letters and numbers, that was a little weird feeling.Like their business model of allowing such a good free versionfree version works really well ... I wanted to upgrade for a few extra features, but I really didn't need to.Minus 1 star for this , I don't like that the website wanted to force me to use PayPal,... the wierd thing about possible fees of $2000 for saying something they might not like, ive heard its since been changed, but i also heard they put it back in secretly, I don't know what to think ... most social media keeps your posts forever, so if i say one hurtful thing one time that someone can dig up to punish me with... wow... that is just too much. I've been in situations where there was literally no way to be in the right, because the other person was going through internal issues that had nothing to do with me, I certainly don't want my bank account linked in that sort of relationship. Long before the $2000 thing they were pulling moves of blocking people they didn't like as political gestures. That is why I bought it through Amazon, glad it worked.Paypal works good, and there are always going to be imperfect humans coming and going in any business, maybe I am making too big of a deal out of it, maybe not. ... I have not read the fine print, I don't know if it's still in there. Certainly hope not.

I just received the code from this seller and IT WORKS. The key works for two devices, so I was able to install Studio 18.6 on my windows and Mac PC’s. Buy with confidence yo.If you own a Canon C70 you need to own the studio version of Davinci Resolve. H.265 only works on Mac (I know windows has a codec you can buy, but that doesn’t work) and 4K .MXF files doesn’t even work on the free version. Also keep in mind the Studio version optimizes you graphics card to work perfect with the software and you get all the effects. Not to mention all the update are free, so if you own 18 you will also get 19 and above at no extra cost. TAKE THAT ADOBE!The editing tools have gotten really great since resolve hit the market. Now it’s to the point you don’t even need work between to NLE’s (Non linear editors) to get the Final Cut. You can now do everything with Devinci Resolve. Get it, learn it, and live it. You won’t be disappointed.
