Black Magic Design releases DaVinci Resolve Lite

Many editors feel that Apple has downgraded the feature set of its Final Cut program in the newly released Final Cut X, and are seeking alternative solutions. One of the most promising seems to be Adobe Premiere Pro, however this is somewhat lacking in color grading ability.

They have also recently announced the release of Resolve Lite which is a free version of the full package.

DaVinci Resolve Lite is a free download for Mac OS.

Oh and check out the speed of Da Vinci with a Nvidia CUDA card... the lite can use one GPU but the full Resolve can use multiple!
