The Apple Vision Pro is about to get a much needed boost thanks to the work being done by Blackmagic Design. The company has released a major update that adds support for Apple Immersive Video workflows to DaVinci Resolve Studio for macOS. Update 20.1 allows filmmakers to edit, color grade, add visual effects, mix Spatial Audio, and export immersive content from the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera.
A new immersive video viewer will let editors pan, tilt and roll clips for viewing on 2D monitors or directly stream to Apple Vision Pro for an even more immersive editing experience.
“We are excited to release this update for DaVinci Resolve Studio which adds tools for Apple Immersive Video to the edit, color, Fairlight and Fusion pages,” said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO.
“Now filmmakers can create stunning immersive content that was previously too complex or expensive to produce. The best part is that you can edit, grade and mix 3D immersive video and audio using familiar tools from 2D projects! We can’t wait to see the immersive action, drama, concerts, sports and other incredible experiences our customers will create using DaVinci Resolve!”
The Apple Vision Pro is a wonderful mixed reality headset but it’s in desperate need of immersive content from a wide variety of production houses. Now that Blackmagic Design has the world’s only solution that combines editing, color, VFX, audio post and delivery for Apple Immersive Video, it’s back on track.
