The Digital Edit Suite is a purpose-built, private working space for DARC members. This suite now features a Mac Studio, an ideal working platform for video editing. On this computer, members can expect an array of editing software such as Davinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro X. The suite enables members to edit from 4K, and HD to finish their projects in a professional environment.

 

A DARC Extended Access membership is required for access. Edit Suite bookings are made on a block booking system.  We encourage members to work off their own hard drives in order to prevent losing work. Please let the tech department know if you need to set up a project on the computer. The computer is wiped every 4 months.

Members are welcome to book more than one block at a time. When booking the After hours block, you’ll be required to perform our after hours rules and security procedure. Fees must be paid in advance of all bookings.
