Legendary DaVinci Quality
DaVinci Resolve’s Emmy™ award-winning image processing technology features deep 32-bit float processing combined with unique, patented YRGB color science that processes luminance independent of color. This allows you to adjust the luminance of video without rebalancing the color of your highlights, midtones, or shadows! The massive internal color space is perfect for the latest HDR and wide color gamut workflows.
Blackmagic RAW
Blackmagic RAW is a new and modern codec that gives you stunning image quality and blazing fast performance in an intelligent new file format. Featuring advanced de-mosaic technology and a revolutionary intelligent design, Blackmagic RAW gives you both the quality and benefits of RAW with the speed, ease of use and file sizes of traditional video formats.

All controls are logically placed near your natural hand positions and are made out of the highest quality materials. You get smooth, high resolution weighted trackballs, along with precision engineered knobs and dials that feature the perfect amount of resistance so you can accurately adjust any setting. DaVinci Resolve control panels let you instinctively touch every part of the image!
Fairlight Professional Consoles
Fairlight mixing consoles provide high quality controls for nearly every parameter and feature in the software. Unique user interfaces and dynamic configuration changes provide fast to use buttons and controls that are optimized for the task at hand allowing you to work faster with Fairlight audio than any other tool in the world.

Please bring us 18.5 🙏🙏🙏
April 27, 2023 10:14 pm
can we get the v18.5 beta?
April 28, 2023 8:02 am
can we get 18.5?
April 30, 2023 8:46 pm
For versions until and including DaVinci Resolve 18.1.4:
sudo perl -pi -e ‘s/\x03\x00\x85\xC0\x74\x7A\xE8/\x03\x00\x85\xC0\xEB\x7A\xE8/g;’ -e ‘s/\x20\x04\x00\x34\x3E\x48\x00\x94/\x20\x04\x00\x35\x3E\x48\x00\x94/g’ /Applications/DaVinci\ Resolve/DaVinci\ Resolve.app/Contents/MacOS/Resolve && codesign -f -s – /Applications/DaVinci\ Resolve/DaVinci\ Resolve.app/Contents/MacOS/Resolve
Works for DaVinci Resolve 18.5b1:
sudo perl -pi -e ‘s/\x03\x00\x85\xC0\x74\x7A\xE8/\x03\x00\x85\xC0\xEB\x7A\xE8/g;’ -e ‘s/\x20\x04\x00\x34\x35\x4C\x00\x94/\x20\x04\x00\x35\x35\x4C\x00\x94/g’ /Applications/DaVinci\ Resolve/DaVinci\ Resolve.app/Contents/MacOS/Resolve && codesign -f -s – /Applications/DaVinci\ Resolve/DaVinci\ Resolve.app/Contents/MacOS/Resolve
May 1, 2023 11:48 pm
here’s what I get when trying to use terminal command for v18.5, sir
-i used with no filenames on the command line, reading from STDIN.
Unrecognized character \xE2; marked by <– HERE after <– HERE near column 1 at -e line 1.
-bash: ’: command not found
What steps I do wrong?
May 2, 2023 12:11 am
I have fixed the code using the straight quotes instead curly ones you’ve put in
sudo perl -pi -e ‘s/\x03\x00\x85\xC0\x74\x7A\xE8/\x03\x00\x85\xC0\xEB\x7A\xE8/g;’ -e ‘s/\x20\x04\x00\x34\x35\x4C\x00\x94/\x20\x04\x00\x35\x35\x4C\x00\x94/g’ /Applications/DaVinci\ Resolve/DaVinci\ Resolve.app/Contents/MacOS/Resolve && codesign -f -s – /Applications/DaVinci\ Resolve/DaVinci\ Resolve.app/Contents/MacOS/Resolve
However – now I’m left with this error in terminal:
error: The specified item could not be found in the keychain.
May 4, 2023 12:04 am
Here’s what worked for me to run the 18.5 public beta:
1st step: Go to Davinci’s Official website and download the 18.5 studio public beta
2nd step: Install it
3rd step: Open terminal and enter this command first:
sudo perl -pi -e ‘ s/\x03\x00\x85\xC0\x74\x7A\xE8/\x03\x00\x85\xC0\xEB\x7A\xE8/g;’ -e ‘s/\x04\x00\x34\x35\x4C/\x04\x00\x35\x35\x4C/g’ /Applications/DaVinci\ Resolve/DaVinci\ Resolve.app/Contents/MacOS/Resolve
4th step: Enter this command:
sudo codesign -f -s – /Applications/DaVinci\ Resolve/DaVinci\ Resolve.app/Contents/MacOS/Resolve
—– this one worked for me perfectly fine on MacBook Pro 15, Late 2017 (Intel )
May 16, 2023 6:16 pm
That codesign doesn’t work.
Better using this one, it works allright:
sudo codesign –force –deep –sign – /Applications/DaVinci\ Resolve/DaVinci\ Resolve.app
May 15, 2023 7:07 pm
didn’t work
May 16, 2023 3:59 pm
Tried it but it said The specified item could not be found in the keychain.
I am using Macbook PRO M1
May 16, 2023 6:22 pm
Install Davinci 18.5 from website.
1. Open Terminal, enter:
sudo perl -pi -e ‘ s/\x03\x00\x85\xC0\x74\x7A\xE8/\x03\x00\x85\xC0\xEB\x7A\xE8/g;’ -e ‘s/\x04\x00\x34\x35\x4C/\x04\x00\x35\x35\x4C/g’ /Applications/DaVinci\ Resolve/DaVinci\ Resolve.app/Contents/MacOS/Resolve
But be careful! Many times this code is written wrong, you have to use straight quotes in this code, not curly ones.
2. In Terminal enter:
sudo codesign -f -s – /Applications/DaVinci\ Resolve/DaVinci\ Resolve.app/Contents/MacOS/Resolve
3. Enjoy. And keep in mind, that you have to upgrade project to 18.5 ver. An you couldn’t reverse it later.
May 17, 2023 8:48 am
I’m getting: Error: The specified item could not be found in the keychain – when running the codesign command.
May 17, 2023 1:00 pm
It’s because of codesign command on this site autocorrects into wrong sentence, when anyone uploads comment. Just as the first command. So all instruction becomes rubbish.
Imagine “minus” word is the minus sign on your keyboard. Then in the second step it should be written as something like: sudo codesign minusminusforce minusminusdeep minusminussign and then the rest of it.
You can download earlier version of Davinci torrent and seek for README, where the code is written in correct manner.
May 17, 2023 7:17 pm
Thx Cane, makes sense and actions the code correctly now, however, I can’t get 18.5 to work without the watermark, so I guess it’s not believing its a legit copy?
18.1 works fine, with replacing the resolve.app in /contents/MacOS – but theres no need to do anything like that with 18.5? Simply download, then run the code?
Thx
May 22, 2023 4:26 pm
Not to worry, it appears that you HAVE to download direct from the BlackMagic site and not the torrent here. At least for me anyway.
All works now, thank you Cane.
