In brief, Resolve Studio 16 comes with the Neural Engine, ResolveFX, and FairlightFX plugins, Stereoscopic 3D tools, HDR grading, blur and mist effects, multiuser collaboration, and more. However, we are here to educate you on the Studio version, so we are not going to go over the free version in detail… just its limitations.
