DaVinci Resolve Studio + Lite (Dual Installation)

Remembering to carry your USB dongle to activate DaVinci Studio between multiple locations can get a bit tedious. Did you know that you can have Studio + Lite installed at the same time?

Here’s how you do it.

  1. Download and Install DaVinci Studio from the Blackmagic website
  2. Once installed, rename the Application to something like DaVinci Resolve Studio.
    By default it installs as DaVinci Resolve
  3. Download and Install DaVinci Resolve, and rename it to DaVinci Resolve Lite.

Caveats

  • I only tested this on our studio Macs.
  • Rename the Application not just the folder [see image below]
  • Update both Lite and Studio at the same time [more info on this process here]
