The new NVIDIA Studio Driver (March release) helps to enhance the performances on heavy-duty AI tasks. On this cool demonstration, performed on the newest Studio Laptop (with GeForce RTX 30 series GPU), we explore the potential of the technology, by activating DaVinci Resolve Neural Engine to allow the AI-Based Magic Mask feature. Learn how to save time on grading.
DaVinci Resolve AI-based Magic Mask
The AI-based Magic Mask uses the DaVinci Neural Engine to automatically create masks for an entire person or specific features such as face or arms. Creators get matte finesse tools, the ability to add and remove strokes, and automatic tracking. Improvements to DaVinci Neural Engine, in Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve 17, alongside new tools like Magic Mask that effortlessly select and remove people from backgrounds, make creating easier.
Now, this process has been accelerated with the release of the new NVIDIA Studio Driver. The March Studio Driver (release 461.92) is available to download from here.

Performed on a laptop
This demonstration was performed on one of the elite RTX Studio laptops, which utilizes the GeForce RTX 30 series. For instance, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED featuring a new GeForce RTX 3070 GPU and a one-of-a-kind 4K OLED HDR touchscreen paired with the unique ASUS ScreenPad Plus secondary 4K display, plus a brand-new tilting design that offers effortless ergonomics and seamless creative workflows.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 was designed for multi-layer video editing, music production, and 3D graphics rendering. While Asus notes the ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED is coming to North America in April 2021, it has not yet revealed pricing. Explore its commercial video below:
Final insights
AI-based operations regarding editing and color grading have been always welcomed. However, the huge amount of calculations needed, impaired the efficiency, especially when executed on a laptop. Luckily, with the born of new technology (M1, RTX Studio, GPS, and more), these features can be performed on-the-go. As for the AI-based Magic Mask on DaVinci, it’s truly amazing and saves tons of time. Have you tried this? Comment below.
