About DaVinci Resolve 14 Software

The free DaVinci Resolve 14 includes all of the same high quality processing as DaVinci Resolve 14
Studio and can handle unlimited resolution media files. However it does limit project mastering and
output to Ultra HD resolutions or lower. DaVinci Resolve 14 only supports a single processing GPU on
Windows and Linux and 2 GPUs on the latest Mac Pro.

If you need features such as support for multiple GPUs, 4K output, motion blur effects, temporal and
spatial noise reduction, HDR tools, Lens distortion correction, de-interlacing, Resolve FX Lens Flare,
Lens Blur and Film Grain, 3D stereoscopic tools, remote rendering, an external database server and
collaboration tools that let multiple users work on the same project at the same time, please upgrade
to DaVinci Resolve 14 Studio.

We hope you do decide to upgrade as your facility grows and you do more advanced work!

Until DaVinci Resolve 12.5.2, the Mac installer used to ship with PostgreSQL version 8.4.2. Starting
from macOS Sierra 10.12, PostgreSQL version 8.4 is no longer supported. If you intend to upgrade to
the latest OS, you will need to upgrade your PostgreSQL database server to version 9.5.4 prior to
upgrading macOS. Once your PostgreSQL installation has been upgraded and your data has been
ported, you can then proceed with your macOS upgrade.

We have provided apps to simplify upgrading your PostgreSQL version on your Mac.The apps along
with instructions can be found in the:
