The first codec plugin approved by Blackmagic Design for DaVinci Resolve Studio

Render project timelines from DaVinci Resolve Studio

With the MainConcept® Codec Plugin for DaVinci Resolve Studio, the complete production chain—from filming, capturing, and editing to playout—can remain in the same broadcast format. This speeds up your workflow and brings the reliability that comes with MainConcept’s experience powering the digital universe for almost three decades. Now, creators can easily render project timelines from DaVinci Resolve Studio 17 and newer into professional camera formats from Sony, Panasonic and others. The latest version of the plugin comes with additional render profiles for HEVC/H.265 12K resolution, so you can output content from the Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K camera in its native resolution directly from the DaVinci Resolve Studio timeline.
