Associated Press transitions editing to DaVinci Resolve Studio

The Associated Press (AP) has transitioned its global video editing platform to DaVinci Resolve Studio.

The move includes several hundred licenses, enabling the creation of more than 1,500 video projects daily.

DaVinci Resolve Studio’s Growing Transport Stream Editing feature makes it possible for journalists to begin working on live incoming video feeds directly from AP’s MAM without waiting for complete file transfers. This means video can be cut and distributed within seconds of footage arriving.

AP also now uses DaVinci Resolve Studio’s cloud based preset and graphics distribution system, including graphics templates, project settings and export settings.

Furthermore, Resolve has also been integrated with AP’s MAM to enable scalable cloud rendering. AP can automatically scale capacity during major news events and scale down when demand decreases. This reduces reliance on local rendering by journalists and editors, keeping workstations free for creative work and optimising infrastructure costs.

The transition included a training program designed for AP journalists and field operatives. AP super users collaborated with DaVinci Resolve Certified Trainers to develop an internal video on demand library, enabling staff to learn at their own pace and ensuring sustainable knowledge transfer.

“AP produces video from more than 100 countries, delivering content to thousands of broadcasters, publishers and digital platforms every day,” said Derl McCrudden, AP vice president and head of global news production. “In support of that crucial journalism, we are working with DaVinci Resolve Studio to equip our journalists with state of the art editing and production tools.”
