Using Davinci Resolve; Project Manager - Blackmagicdesign HyperDeck Installation And Operation Manual

Using DaVinci Resolve

Recording clips with your HyperDeck Disk Recorder is only part of the process of creating film
and television content, and just as important is the process of media backup and management
as well as editing, color correction and encoding final master files. DaVinci Resolve for Mac OS
and Windows can be downloaded free from the Blackmagic Design website so you can have a
complete solution for recording and post production!
NOTE We recommend using the latest version of DaVinci Resolve for accurate
treatment of clips recorded with your Blackmagic HyperDeck Disk Recorder.
For example, version 16 or later will ensure accurate color.
After connecting your SSD or SD card to your computer, you can use DaVinci Resolve's 'clone'
tool, in the 'media' page, to create running backups as you shoot. This is recommended as any
type of media is susceptible to becoming damaged or developing a fault so creating backups
ensures your clips will be immune to loss. Once you have used DaVinci Resolve to back up your
media, you can then add your clips to the DaVinci media pool, then edit, color correct, and
finish your production without ever having to leave DaVinci Resolve.
DaVinci Resolve is the same tool used on most major blockbuster movies, so it's much more
than a simple NLE software tool, as it has extremely advanced technology built in for high end
digital film. You get the advantage of this technology when you use DaVinci Resolve to edit and
color correct your work.
Included here is information on how to get started using DaVinci Resolve with your recorded
clips. Of course, DaVinci Resolve is extremely advanced and includes a lot more features than
you immediately see when first looking at its user interface. To learn more about how to use
DaVinci Resolve, please check for the DaVinci Resolve instruction manual pdf file on the
Blackmagic website, where you can also find many training courses and tutorial videos.

Project Manager

Before you import your clips and start editing, you will need to set up your project using the
project manager.
The project manager is the first screen you will see when launching DaVinci Resolve, but you
can open the manager at any time by clicking on the 'home' icon at the bottom right of the user
interface. This is helpful when you want to open previous projects and create new ones.
To create a new project, click on 'new project' at the bottom of the window and give your
project a name. Click 'create'.
