You can use DaVinci Resolve to cut footage, adjust color grading, build visual effects, and mix audio tracks within a unified interface. You can assemble multi-camera footage on the cut page, refine edits on the timeline, and balance color with advanced wheels and curves. The Fusion workspace lets you design 2D and 3D titles or composite visual effects using node trees. With Fairlight, you can record voiceovers, remove unwanted background noise, and master multi-channel sound before exporting final video files directly for broad broadcast and web distribution.
