Introducing a new generation of live-action replay - the Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Replay Editor is totally unique because it uses multiple HyperDecks to record into shared storage, while DaVinci Resolve is connected to the same shared storage as a powerful playback engine. This means you can add additional record channels by connecting more HyperDeck recorders. However, the true power comes from having DaVinci Resolve handle the playback. That’s because it’s not just a replay, but an extremely powerful editor with multi-user collaboration features. Plus color correction, visual effects, and audio post-production. So now you can convert replays into promos, title sequences, and instant social media updates.
Let Replay Create a Social Media Revolution
Now you don't need to throw away a replay after it’s gone to air. That's because you can convert the replay into an edit timeline for posting to social media. Blackmagic Replay is more powerful than a traditional replay system because it’s built into DaVinci Resolve. This means you can load exciting camera angles into the timeline to edit, color-correct, and add visual effects. These edits can then be posted to social media in seconds. With Blackmagic Cloud, you can have more than one DaVinci Resolve system working on the job. Imagine every replay at a sporting event being transformed into a social media post. By creating instant social media posts, you can engage a new audience at a massive global scale.
Get Started in a Few Simple Steps
DaVinci Resolve lets you do a replay in a few simple steps. It can be as simple as watching the input view in the viewer and then pressing the POI button when an exciting event happens. Pressing the POI, or point of interest, button will switch you from the input view to playback media, where you can see the different camera angles you have in a multi-view. Now you just scroll back a little, select a camera and you're ready to play by pressing the run button. While playing you can review other angles in the multi-view and play that angle to air using show sequencing. When your replay is done, press the dump button and your replay will load into the timeline. Now you can add titles and then post to social media.
Find and Play Clip
Select input view. Mark the POI when something happens. DaVinci Resolve will switch to the playback media and cue to the POI, then you can review and select a camera. Now press run to start the replay.
Sequencing Shots
Once running, the multi-view lets you review other camera angles. Select a new shot by pressing a time key and a camera key. The playback will move to seconds before the POI and play the new angle.
Upload to Social Media
The time between run and dump is the replay and it can be automatically added into the timeline. If you used transitions and speed changes in your replay, they will also be loaded into the timeline.
Build the Custom Replay System You Need
Building a high-end replay system is easy as it's storage-centric, where multiple HyperDecks record and DaVinci Resolve handle the playback. That lets you customize as many channels as you need. Just add extra HyperDeck recorders. That means you can build a replay system in HD, Ultra HD, or even 8K. Then add more storage when you need extra space and higher speed. Plus, you can add more than one DaVinci Resolve system and they will collaborate globally using Blackmagic Cloud shared projects. Anything done on one system will automatically update on the others. Plus ATEM switchers with built-in ISO recording features can also be used to do simple replay because all the hardware is built in.
Unlimited Record Channels
Add multiple HyperDeck recorders to a Blackmagic Cloud Store Mini or Max to record as many channels as you need. Set recording to numbered ISO folders inside a parent folder for the job.
Unlimited Storage
Blackmagic Cloud Store Max has been designed for replay because it's fast and has a large capacity. So it easily handles multiple record channels. You can add a second store when you need more speed.
Unlimited Playout Stations
DaVinci Resolve is connected to storage to manage the playback. You can play all camera angles in a multi-view and then select shots for playout. On big jobs, add a second DaVinci Resolve for playout.
Unlimited Editors
While some DaVinci Resolve systems are working on replay, others can perform post production tasks. Other editors can see timelines that are created and add titles, color correct, and post to social media.
The Replay Palette for Replay Control
The replay controls are accessed using the replay palette above the viewer, plus there are also dedicated buttons on the DaVinci Resolve Replay Panel. The cue button is good for replaying edit timelines, as it will cue to the start. The run button will start to replay and change the video output to the selected camera while the viewer will change to a multi-view so you can review the next shot. Plus it will open the hardware key output to enable playback on the switcher. It will also run the auto stinger if enabled. Dump stops the playback, reverts the hardware output to a multi-view, and runs the auto stinger if enabled. It also adds the replay to the timeline if add to the timeline is enabled.
