En el video, se menciona que esta actualización no es tan emocionante como las versiones anteriores que incluían mejoras sustanciales.

💡AI generated subtitles

Las subtítulos generados por IA son una característica que utiliza inteligencia artificial para crear automáticamente subtítulos a partir del diálogo en un video. Esto puede ahorrar tiempo significativamente en el proceso de edición y hacer que los videos sean más accesibles para personas con dificultades auditivas. En el video, se menciona que esta característica fue introducida en una actualización anterior y que los usuarios esperan mejoras futuras.

💡Blackmagic Cloud

Blackmagic Cloud es un servicio de almacenamiento y flujo de trabajo en la nube ofrecido por Blackmagic Design. Permite a los usuarios almacenar, acceder y compartir sus proyectos DaVinci Resolve desde cualquier lugar, facilitando la colaboración y el trabajo remoto. En el contexto del video, se sugiere que las actualizaciones recientes de DaVinci Resolve se han enfocado en integrar mejor esta plataforma de servicios en la nube con el software de edición.

💡NAB

NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) es una feria anual que reúne a profesionales de la industria de la radio, la televisión y las comunicaciones. Es un evento importante donde las compañías de tecnologías de medios de comunicación suelen lanzar nuevos productos y hacer anuncios. En el video, el narrador menciona su asistencia al evento y especula sobre posibles anuncios de Blackmagic en esta ocasión.

💡GPU accelerated effects

Los efectos acelerados por GPU son aquellos que aprovechan la potencia del procesador gráfico (GPU) para renderizar visualizaciones y efectos de manera más rápida y eficiente. Esto es especialmente útil en la edición de video, donde las tareas gráficas pueden ser demandantes en términos de recursos del sistema. En el video, se destaca cómo las mejoras en esta área han duplicado la velocidad de procesamiento para usuarios de tarjetas gráficas AMD y Nvidia en Windows.

💡AI speech to text function

La función de conversión de voz a texto de IA es una tecnología que utiliza inteligencia artificial para transcribir automáticamente el diálogo de un video en texto. Esto puede ser útil para crear subtítulos o para facilitar la edición y la búsqueda de contenido específico dentro de un archivo de video. En el video, se destaca cómo esta característica fue una de las introducciones más destacadas en una actualización anterior de DaVinci Resolve.

💡Reverse voice isolation

La función de aislamiento de voz inverso es una tecnología de procesamiento de audio que permite eliminar las voces de un archivo de audio, dejando solo los sonidos ambientales. Esto puede ser útil para crear una experiencia de audio más limpia en ciertos contextos, como en la edición de videos donde se desea mantener el fondo y eliminar las conversaciones. Aunque no se menciona explícitamente en el video, se sugiere como una característica que muchos usuarios esperarían ver en futuras actualizaciones de DaVinci Resolve.

💡Music feature in Premiere Pro

La característica de música en Adobe Premiere Pro es una herramienta que permite a los editores re-timbrar canciones para que se ajusten a su edición de video. Esto significa que pueden hacer que las canciones sean más largas o más cortas, y el software ajustará la música para que se adapte al ritmo y la duración de la secuencia de imágenes. Aunque no es un tema central del video, se menciona como una característica interesante que podría inspirar futuras mejoras en DaVinci Resolve.

💡AI features

Las características de IA son funciones que utilizan inteligencia artificial para mejorar y automatizar tareas en un software. En el contexto de DaVinci Resolve, estas características pueden incluir la generación automática de subtítulos, la conversión de voz a texto, la máscara mágica y la aislación de voz. El video sugiere que las características de IA continuarán siendo una parte importante del desarrollo futuro del software.

💡Generative AI

La IA generativa es una subárea de la inteligencia artificial que se centra en crear contenido original, como imágenes, texto o música, a partir de datos existentes. En el contexto del video, se sugiere que, aunque la IA generativa es una tecnología emocionante, es improbable que Blackmagic Design la incluya en DaVinci Resolve debido a las implicaciones de infraestructura y costos asociados con su implementación.

Transcripts

Something big is coming. I can feel it. I

can feel it in my bones, I

tell ya. But it's not today.

Today, Blackmagic released the DaVinci

Resolve 18.6.6 update.

And it's not really all that

interesting, to be honest, for the vast

majority of users. We've

got things like the ability to

encode Panasonic AVC150 in MXFOP atom

format. Cool. As well as

some other stuff like options

to encode Big Endian and then address

some other issues, general

performance and stability

improvements. Now, seeing this update pop

up on my computer today

made me realise we haven't had

a substantial update to DaVinci Resolve

for quite some time. About 12

months. You see, it was last

April 2023, just before NAB when they

introduced DaVinci Resolve

18.5. And that was the last big

one. Really, we've had some stuff since

then, but the last real big

major update was in April last

year. And 18.5 was a pretty massive one.

It introduced things like

the AI generated subtitles

and the AI speech to text function,

timeline level colour

management, the remote monitoring,

the relight tools, the cut page update

and the ability to

stabilise multiple videos in one big

go, which was super duper handy. And of

course, the ability to

upload directly to TikTok. So,

generally, a pretty good bunch of

introductions, new features to DaVinci

Resolve. Following on

from 18.5, they did a couple of small

updates when they were just adding new

languages and doing a

couple of bug fixes and that sort of

thing. And then in September of last

year, they introduced

DaVinci Resolve 18.6. Now, this was quite

a chunky one. It did

add some funky stuff,

but it's mostly based around the

Blackmagic Cloud workflow and the

Blackmagic Cloud storage. They

did the little update. They obviously

introduced the Blackmagic 6K camera as

well as the Blackmagic

app for iPhone. And then it was all talk

about cloud stuff.

Obviously, they can't do 18.5

levels of new stuff every single time,

but you know what I'm

saying. They also introduced some

other handy new things like the audio

normalisation on renders, which I use all

the time. It's really,

really good. And they did the pretty

substantial actually

improvements to the GPU accelerated

effects. If you're using an AMD or an

Nvidia card on Windows, everything just

got literally twice as

fast, which was super useful. Since then,

we've had DaVinci Resolve 18.6.1, 2, 3,

4, 5, and as of today,

18.6.6. And nearly all of them have just

added support for new

cameras, support for new codecs,

maybe having some gyros, stabilisation

abilities for the new 6K

camera, as well as lots and lots

of bug fixes and general performance and

stability improvements, which is not a

bad thing. Whenever a

new DaVinci Resolve update comes out that

has loads of new features, I

always get a bunch of comments

saying, I wish that stop adding new

things and go back and fix some of the

old bugs. That's kind of

what they have been doing for the past

however many months, six, seven, eight

months, whatever it's

been. So, you know, DaVinci Resolve

should be smoother and more

stable, hopefully. It's now

March 2024, as you probably are fully

aware, and we have NAB just

around the corner. So that's

happening in Vegas. As always, it's

Saturday the 13th of April until

Wednesday the 17th of April.

Now I will be there. I'm heading over to

Vegas for my second annual

NAB. So if you're there and

you want to say hello, come say hello.

And NAB, just like last

year, is where Blackmagic save up

some of their big announcements. They

showed off the app and they

showed off 18.5 and then they

did a bit of talk about all the AI stuff.

So I think that's probably

going to be happening again

this year. It feels like because nothing

new has been added, they're kind of

saving it up for one

big update, hopefully, at NAB next month.

So what big new stuff is

going? I don't know, honestly.

I have no real idea of what to expect for

this one. This time last

year, we all had a rough idea

that the AI generated captions or

subtitles were coming. So when they

arrived, it was great news,

but it wasn't necessarily a massive

surprise because lots of

people online had been hammering

on about having auto generated captions

and subtitles in

DaVinci Resolve. So, you know,

this year though, I don't really know. It

kind of feels like they've

added an awful lot and there

is a lot to get to grips with in DaVinci

Resolve already. And it

doesn't feel like any of the

competition are doing anything

particularly above where Resolve is now.

So what can we expect? I'd

love to know your thoughts. Let me know

down in the comments below.

I made some rough notes of

things which I think maybe, and I'm just

going to throw them out

there into the world because

why not? First one, sticking with those

auto subtitles in

Resolve. I know lots of people

would like some improvements to those

because they can't really be

animated or stylized as they

are at the moment. And lots of people

want some new abilities and they want to

be able to customize

them and maybe turn them into text plus.

There are some third party

people, third party people,

party people. There are third party

people doing stuff. I've

linked them down below. So Patrick

did a video introducing you to one tool

which runs scripts and

allows you to do that. And there's

another chap which also introduced a

subtitles tool as well. So

I've linked those down below.

Spell check. I don't really see the need

for it personally. I've

never felt the need to have a

spell check in DaVinci Resolve. But

whenever there's an update, there's

always a bunch of comments

saying I'd love to see spell check in

DaVinci Resolve. So maybe they'll

introduce that. I don't

know. But whatever it is, I think AI is

probably going to be a big

part of it. AI is everywhere at

the moment. You can't really get away

from it. Artificial

intelligence is the thing. It's making

its way into everything. So maybe we're

going to get some more cool

AI features on top of what's

already there. Auto subtitles, speech to

text, the magic mask, the voice

isolation. Oh, talking of

voice isolation. We still don't have the

reverse voice isolation. I

know lots of people want that

and actually does make sense. So if

you've been out and about

recording some b-roll and you want

the ambient noise and someone is

yabbering away, have a reverse isolation,

which just gets rid of

the voice from the audio track. I think

that would actually be kind

of cool. Actually, I'm quite

useful. There is something which Adobe in

Premiere Pro still has,

which Resolve doesn't. And that's

their music feature, which is really

quite cool. So it allows you to re-time

music to fit your edit.

So you can make songs longer or shorter

and it will kind of cut it up

and fill in the gaps for you

so that it all kind of fits. So maybe

we're going to see more of these AI

features, which are just

there to speed up your workflow and make

your editing a bit easier

and a little bit faster and

do some funky stuff. I don't personally

think we're going to see any of the

generative AI stuff.

So things like your auto image creations

and your generative fills

and all that sort of thing.

Purely because that needs a subscription.

It does. You need to

pay for that sort of thing

and it needs a subscription. All the

generative AI stuff needs to

be sent up to the cloud where

the AI can work its magic. It has tons

and tons of resources for it

to look through. It's a big

thing, which can then generate the small

thing, which you've asked

for. That can't really be sat

locally. Even something like the auto

subtitles, it needs all of the words and

all of the languages

to be stored locally on your machine,

which takes up loads and

loads of room. If you try to do

generative AI locally, the DaVinci

Resolve install would

balloon massively. It'd be huge.

So all of that stuff does need to be sent

up to the cloud for

that processing to happen.

And they just don't think Blackmagic are

going to want to do that.

They're not going to want to

implement all that stuff and then start

charging subscription fees

because we know how they feel

about subscription fees, although they

are happy to do subscription fees when

it's relevant because

you've got the Blackmagic cloud. I don't

know. I just can't see it,

but who knows? Maybe they will.

Maybe they'll surprise us and throw out

some really cool, super

clever, super advanced stuff.

Or maybe we won't see any of that and

we'll see a new take on

the edit page or it'll be

slightly redesigned or we'll see

something else. Maybe they'll finally

bring some of the cool

cut page features over to the edit page.

That would be nice.

Maybe. I don't know. I'm just

waffling because I've got a coffee.

There's no update out and

I fancied talking about it.

So there you go. So honestly, I have no

idea what to expect this

time around, but I do feel it.

Feel that something's coming and we're

going to get a nice big

update ahead of NAB. I may well be

wrong. I've been wrong in the past and I

will definitely be wrong

again in the future. But who

knows? It does feel like it's been quite

a long time and I think something is

brewing. Let me know

what you think down in the comment

section below. I'll be sure to update you

when something does come

through. Enjoy editing. Happy days. Fun

times. See you next time.
