That’s what we’re trying to do doing here. Blackmagic had a nice breakdown of the differences between the free and Studio versions for Resolve 15, but nothing for v16. The free version doesn’t come with these tools.Īt the time this article is published, the current version is 16.2.2. In brief, Resolve Studio 16 comes with the Neural Engine, ResolveFX, and FairlightFX plugins, Stereoscopic 3D tools, HDR grading, blur and mist effects, multiuser collaboration, and more. However, we are here to educate you on the Studio version, so we are not going to go over the free version in detail… just its limitations. The free version is robust on its own and maybe enough for many users. A common question we are asked is what you get with the Studio version and if it’s worth the investment.
