DaVinci Resolve is known for its node-based color page, used on feature films, with editing, VFX and audio post in one desktop app. Morphic is a complete AI video production workspace with an agentic video editor: Copilot generates the missing shots, blocks them in 3D Scene, and edits the multi-track Compose timeline on request. AI storyboards, songs, sound effects, voiceover and subtitles share the project. Your best process becomes a reusable workflow, model and settings saved at every step, so it runs the same way at scale. Teams get Live collaboration from the Pro plan, and Enterprise adds User groups and permissions, Credit limits, Model access and Connectors.

What is agentic editing on Morphic?
Agentic editing means an AI agent works inside the edit itself. On Morphic, Copilot helps stage a shot in 3D, repairs a take from a written instruction, and makes changes on the Compose timeline when asked, in three stages.
- 01
Block the shot in 3D
Settle where each person stands, the move, the lens and the camera height, so the model has less to guess. - 02
Fix the take
Change or extend a clip by instruction, relight it, or re-frame it from another camera angle. - 03
Cut with Copilot
Trim, grade and mix on the Compose timeline yourself, or describe the change and Copilot makes it.
Each stage works by hand as well. 3D Scene runs continuity checks that catch a crossed 180-degree line, and on paid plans Copilot builds the scene from a prompt and checks its own edits. Export the frame or the shot, and it becomes the reference the model follows.
Why teams choose Morphic over DaVinci Resolve
Teams choose Morphic when the shots still need making, and the cut, grade and mix have to happen right beside them. These are the tools they open most.
Copilot on the timeline
Ask Copilot for a dip to black before every scene. One undo reverts the lot.
Frame-exact Compose
Layer video and audio tracks, trim to the exact frame, keep titles editable.
A grade on the cut
Shape the look with curves, wheels and LUTs, then key out a green screen.
Retakes in plain words
Describe what a clip should change, or extend the shot past its last frame.
Notes on any moment
Pin feedback to a point, an area or a moment in a video and tag a teammate.
Made for teams
Co-edit live from Pro; Enterprise sets groups, credit limits, model access.

FAQs
For videos where the shots still have to be made, yes. Morphic generates the footage, blocks it in 3D Scene, and lets Copilot cut, grade and mix it on the Compose timeline, with songs, sound effects and voice in the same project. DaVinci Resolve is the stronger choice when filmed footage needs a feature-grade color finish or a full Fairlight mix.
Yes, on the Compose timeline. Grade with brightness and contrast, shadows and highlights, warmth and tint, per-color control, curves, wheels and 3D LUTs, and a saved look renders the same for anyone who opens the project. Hold the backslash key to compare graded and original. For node-based HDR finishing on a feature, the DaVinci Resolve color page goes further.
DaVinci Resolve is a desktop post suite for filmed footage, with editing, color, Fusion VFX and Fairlight audio. Morphic is a complete AI video production workspace where the footage is made and finished together: Copilot runs the generations, 3D Scene sets staging and camera first, Compose takes the cut, grade and mix, and teammates review and co-edit live.
It controls what AI video most often gets wrong: where each person stands, which way they move, the lens, and the camera position. Stage the shot with mannequins and cameras, let the continuity checks flag a crossed 180-degree line, then attach the exported frame or shot as the reference for the generation.
Yes, as media. Render your clips, stills or a finished cut from DaVinci Resolve, then upload them to Morphic or give Copilot a link to fetch them. Attach a file in the chat and Copilot places it on the Compose timeline, and a recurring character or product saved as a Reference carries into each new shot.
Yes. Ask Copilot about a video in the chat, such as which take has the cleaner performance or whether the logo is ever covered, and it watches the footage to answer. It reads several clips per question, so sorting a batch of rushes becomes something you type.
Yes. The free plan lets you go from a first prompt to a finished cut before you pay. Paid plans add Copilot inside 3D Scene, exports without a watermark, upscaling, and, from the Pro plan up, seats so the whole team can edit together live.
