The reason I’m interested in the Video Assist is because I think an affordable device like this ( Atomos’ similar products aren’t this good at this price!) will really help a lot of my lower-end clients to escape the limitations of their C100 (or similar) cameras and record some decently encoded material, with timecode and unique file names. Customers can record broadcast quality 10-bit 4:2:2 video onto fast, inexpensive and widely available SD cards in Apple ProRes and DNxHD file formats… The Blackmagic Video Assist includes 2 standard LP-E6 battery slots allowing hot swapping of batteries while in use, and it can be powered using the 12V DC input. The Blackmagic Video Assist features a bright, 5 inch high resolution 1920 x 1080 HD monitor and touchscreen with a wide 135º viewing angle. This is interesting because it will take in video from any HDMI source and record it to SD cards in Pro Res and DNxHD. The other two announcements from BMD that were really interesting to me the release of Fusion on Mac (coming in ‘Q3’) and the new $495 5″ HD video assist. Resolve 12 is available ‘in July’, so you’ll just have to whet your appetite with these details until you can download it for free if you are an existing owner or as a new Lite user. Another good overview of the new features can be found over on. Scott Simmons from PVC also taped a quick demo from the NAB show floor which you can enjoy below. Below you can enjoy a quick overview from the show floor courtesy of At some point the Supermeet demo will make it online, and I’ll update this post with that too. The best place to get a decent overview of what’s new in Resolve 12 is on the updated Blackmagic Design site where there are 4 new videos highlighting the updates to the editing feature set, colour grading feature set and the general workflow pipeline. A list of only the new features can be found here. The latest update brings an epic list of 80+ new features or improvements (which you can check out in full on possibly the longest features list page ever) including a new 3D tracker, 3D keyer, multicam editing, automatic clip colour matching, aaf export, an updated user interface look, even more editing and audio features and tons more. The big news of NAB 2015 was Blackmagic Design’s epic list of announcements, three of which were of particular interest to me, the first of which was DaVinci Resolve 12.
