AI + RTX power: This is how video editing improves with DaVinci Resolve 20 and the RTX 50 series. 

As AI tools continue to evolve, NVIDIA GPUs GeForce RTX 50 Series —based on architecture NVIDIA Blackwell— are driving faster, smarter creative workflows. 

With the beta release of Da Vinci Resolve Studio 20Blackmagic Design brings new AI-powered features and tools, accelerated by RTX, to video editors. These help automate tasks and streamline the creative process. Thanks to the SDK NVIDIA TensorRT In its latest version, these features run faster and more efficiently on RTX GPUs. Additionally, the update includes support for 4:2:2 color formats and ultra-high-quality AV1 encoding. 

Furthermore, the NVIDIA Studio Driver April, designed to optimize creative applications, will be available next week. To receive automatic notifications of new drivers and easily access apps like NVIDIA broadcast, you can download the NVIDIA app. 

If you are an artist or creator and you are interested in experimenting with workflows Generative AI, It is now available FLUX.1-dev, from Black Forest Labs, as an NVIDIA NIM microservice. This allows for easy deployment and scaling on systems with RTX GPUs. FLUX.1-dev is a suite of image-generating models from text and images, capable of producing high-quality, photorealistic visuals, optimized for maximum performance with RTX and RTX PRO GPUs. 

Thanks to support for FP4 computing, the microservice FLUX.1-dev NIM It delivers up to 4x the performance, over 60x faster rendering speeds on high-end GPUs, and a 16% reduction in memory usage compared to FPXNUMX. This translates to faster results, more creative iterations, and much greater accessibility across a wide range of RTX-powered PCs and RTX PRO AI workstations. 

AI video editing

The beta of Da Vinci Resolve Studio 20 comes with over 100 new professional features, including AI-powered tools and effects that streamline productivity. It now also includes the latest version of NVIDIA TensorRT, which optimizes AI performance in creative tasks. 

the GPUs GeForce RTX 50 Series, based on the architecture NVIDIA Blackwell and with nuclei Fifth generation tensor, accelerate these AI features that improve video editing and post-production workflows. 

One of the most notable examples is UltraNR Noise Reduction, an intelligent noise reduction mode that cleans up footage without losing sharpness, even in moving scenes. This feature runs up to 75% faster on the RTX 5090 compared to the previous generation.  

As part of the beta, Magic Mask is an AI-powered feature that lets you quickly select and track objects, people, or elements within a scene, making it easier to create masks and effects. The new version, Magic Mask v2, adds a brush to more precisely adjust selections and speed up your workflow.

New RTX-accelerated AI features are also integrated, including: 

• AI IntelliScript, which generates timelines from the original project script.

• AI Animated Subtitles, which synchronizes animated subtitles with the audio. 

• AI Multicam Smartswitch, which automatically chooses the best camera angles by detecting who is speaking. 

These tools are available in the free beta for those who already have Da Vinci Resolve Studio 20, from the support site of Black Magic Design. 

Imagine, write, and generate: FLUX.1-dev with NVIDIA NIM

AI image generation models can transform text into high-quality images in seconds, covering a variety of styles. This is revolutionizing creative workflows, from storyboarding to concept art. However, these models are often cumbersome and slow to run. To achieve fast results, many use optimized versions or plugins, but setting everything up correctly can be complicated. 

The NVIDIA NIM microservices, make it easy to take full advantage of your GPU's power with pre-optimized generative models. NIM includes everything you need to run them at their best on RTX PCs and RTX PRO AI workstations. 

One of the most recent is FLUX.1-dev de Black Forest Labs, which showcases what can be achieved with RTX-accelerated imaging. This suite includes: 

• FLUX.1-dev: generates images from text. 

• FLUX.1-Depth-dev: adds depth maps for better spatial and structural control.

• FLUX.1-Canny-dev: Uses edge detection to define shapes and composition more precisely.

These models enable stunning visual results in seconds, ready for use in next-generation creative workflows.

Optimized for NVIDIA hardware, the FLUX.1-dev NIM microservice delivers up to 2x the performance with TensorRT and support for Blackwell FP4 and NVIDIA Ada FP8 precision, making it ideal for everything from concept art to previsualization for post-production.  

Edit like a pro with 4:2:2

The color format 4:2:2 offers great advantages in quality compared to 4:2:0, and is widely used by professional video editors. It presents twice the color information, but only increases the file size by one 30%. 

With this additional color information, editors improve color grading accuracy, gain more flexibility during color correction, and improve chroma keying, all while working with smaller files, maximizing efficiency and quality.

The DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 beta now includes support for hardware-accelerated 4:2:2 encoding and decoding on GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards with Blackwell GPUs. Creators can now record, quickly import into their DaVinci Resolve projects, and then export their final projects in 4:2:2 color. 

With the RTX 5080 and 5090, creators can import up to 5 8K30 streams or 20 4K30 streams at a time, or 9 4K60 streams, making it easy to seamlessly edit and preview every angle. With the RTX PRO 6000, this increases to 10 8K30 streams or 40 4K30 streams. 

When exporting, editors using the 50th-generation NVIDIA video encoder on the GeForce RTX 5 Series will see a 1% improvement in video quality for HEVC and AV5 (BD-BR) encoding, resulting in higher-quality exports at the same bitrates. Additionally, the new Ultra High Quality (UHQ) mode in the Blackwell encoder boosts quality by an additional XNUMX%. 

Finally, the DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 beta adds support for split-frame encoding, a technique where a single frame is split into three parts, each processed by a different NVENC encoder. The GeForce RTX 5090 desktop and laptop models include three NVENC modules, achieving encoding speeds up to 37% faster than the previous generation.
