Resolve is just incredible and deserves more resources. The team for Resolve should be 3-4 times bigger in about 2 months time, and we have a lot of good ideas to work on. The engineering team for Resolve had already been cut back a few months ago, but now we have already rehired those engineers. The only people in Florida who have been let go were managers, office staff and engineers working on products that had no future. Because DaVinci was losing money there are a lot of changes going on, but most of these changes will bring some big improvements as well.įirstly, we have not “sacked everyone in Florida and closed down the facility”. Last Friday, Blackmagic Design purchased DaVinci. Sorry if I am a bit blunt in this email, but as you can understand it’s a busy time at the moment, and I am just doing a full brain dump here. I have been a bit surprised by some of the really odd rumors I have heard in the last day, so I thought a quick update on what’s really going on might be a good idea. There is a rumor going around – that story is not true, but we can confirm this is 100% true. Industry insiders point to how well this positions BMD to compete at an even higher level – while simultaneously allowing daVinci to service a wider market.įxguide spoke directly with daVinci. daVinci and other companies have been hit with the global economic climate, and changes in the DI industry – notable the expansion of DI to a wider audience and the withdrawal of some major houses from DI altogether, recently for example Framestore in the UK closed its whole DI department, (although Framestore’s Digital Lab was not primarily a daVinci house). There has been a reduction of US staff as part of the move but this is linked to R&D changes rather than a contraction of the companies activities. For all current daVinci customers there will be no break in support, development or service. daVinci will be showing some incredible new technology at IBC next week that extends and changes the companies technology focus.
What is changing is the companies reliance on custom build in house Hardware. daVinci, makes of Resolve and Revival, has been based out of Florida, but interestingly, software R&D for some time has been based in Singapore – also home to Black Magic’s head office.With this move, the new company will be increasing – almost doubling or tripling – their R&D staff on the Resolve and Revival products. Black Magic known for it world class signal convertors and hardware boxes. Black Magic Design (BMD) has bought daVinci color grading systems.
