Davinci Resolve 14 public beta vs 12.5.5 - multi-platform transcode tests
Here is a 5-minute video on some transcode tests we recently carried out with DaVinci Resolve 12.5.5 & version 14 public beta. This version of the video has full stereo sound.
We weren't going for ultimate accuracy of benchmarks here. Just passing on our impressions of how the packages perform transcoding to Avid's most popular offline editing format. And doing so across a number of different hardware types, with the best stable processor speeds our overclocking efforts could muster.
If we'd included all the handy-dandy phone cam videos we shot of the processing screens, the video would he half an hour long. And I doubt even my best of pals would want to sit through that much of my camera work. There's more - so leave a comment below if you would like a separate video on that. Or if you'd like to see the results oriented in a different way - comparing codecs across machines instead perhaps.
We've posted the results in text form below.
