Who would have thought just a year ago that multiple 4K streams could be played back and edited natively on a MacBook Air, but it’s easy now on DaVinci Resolve with M1. I have not seen a speed improvement this large since the original 68000 to Power PC transition back in the 1990’s and it is just amazing. “ This speed increase is stunning and it’s hard to believe.

DaVinci Resolve will now also decode AVC Intra files using the media engine built into the Apple M1 chip, making decoding and playback faster when working with these file formats. Userss can choose to prioritize speed vs quality when rendering, further improving render times up to 65% (claimed). The new processing engine uses tile-based rendering, which is also claimed to give customers up to 30% longer battery life on laptop computers when working in DaVinci Resolve.ĭaVinci Resolve 17.3 also supports a new option on Mac computers with M1 for H.265 hardware encoding.

This is a massive speed improvement and it should make working with DaVinci Resolve and an M1 chip-equipped Mac a joy.Īccording to Blackmagic Design, with this massive speed increase, customers can now playback, edit and grade 4K projects faster, and can even work on 8K projects on an Apple M1 notebook. Version 17.3 adds support for a completely new processing engine that is claimed to transform the speed of DaVinci Resolve so that it will work up to 3 times faster on Apple Mac models with the M1 chip.ĭaVinci Resolve 17.3 Update! New, more efficient processing engine enables faster 4K and 8K editing and grading on Apple Mac models with the M1 chip, plus get new Resolve FX controls, improvements in audio latency and more!
